3:30 in the freaking morning, and I got MMS to work properly... i want to shoot myself in the head
To get it to work properly, i decided to go the long route, build my own OEM package from scratch, find all the stupid files that get put in the phone that DO NOT show up in the .cab file and ignore the registry completely because I cant get it to build properly into the hive file.
so..... end result, the latest & greatest version of the MMS is now functioning from the latest verizon rom 3.0.6.24 and built completely into the ROM (saving you fellas 4.33 megs of space)
and..... the registry entries & outlook MMS-inbox creation are done by a CAB file.

i know its one more thing to install, you can setup the config.txt to autorun it on a hard reset, and the file is only 280k. but not only does it work properly, and quickly, and all that other crap, but it PROPERLY sets up the outlook MMS-inbox (wich NONE of the OEM packages do properly... they point to bad execute locations) and it allows the threaded app to no longer interfere with the MMS settings when building so they play nice now.
So i guess in the end its a compromise.... its 99% integrated into the ROM, but I seriously found no other way to get it to work properly 100% of the time. Your still going in saving over 4 megs of storage space, so I hope its a compromise you guys can live with.
I also tore through my TODO list and integrated some of the requested programs that you guys have asked for. Some will, unfortunately, not be incorporated into my ROM I found WindowsLive to be HIGHLY unstable, and a massive drain on battery, and slow the whole stupid phone down. AND it required the MSN files, wich are a freaking nightmare on battery & EVDO connection interference.
goodness im rambling again... anyways check out the front page sometime tomorow, im to tired to package everything up and upload it. Thanks for your patience on r9.3
