What a total pole-smoker. If you don't like the product, STFU and get the f**K out of here.
You obviously don't belong if you don't "get" the spirit of the heros of this site working their asses off on experimental software to make OUR phone experience better.

Not to mention, I can't place any weight on the words of a "military PC technician".
1) Computer techs in the military tend to suck ass until they get selected to work on important systems, and not PC's. 2) You're title as PC technician means that you're A++ or Helpdesk rat. When you boost up to Network technician, or security engineer, let us know. 3) The fact that you're a PC tech of 25 years means you must really suck ass not to move on to bigger and better things in 25 freaking years 4) anyone who has to boast their title and experience in an email is a liar or has serious insecurity issues.


BTW: I've been running 071105_2 for 2 days (won't upgrade until more significant improvements, as I'm content), and this Kitchen freaking ROCKS!!!!!!
Fast, no crashes yet, and highly functional.

Please update after you are satisfied the new version is stable. You can apply the update on top of your existing version (you might want to save your selections to a different file than the default, if you haven't already).

This won't blow away custom settings?
(Then again, I've reflashed my phone from scratch so many times in the past few weeks, I'm starting to be able to redo all the customizations in my sleep). Fortunately this won't affect non-installed exe's like my AtariXL emulator.

Get Tiermann's personnal OEMizer - burn your custom settings into your ROM. Of course, if you flash a new ROM you'll have to reinstall all of your additional apps and reload your PIM information. Updating you kitchen won't do anything detrimental, so long as your selections are saved to a different file than the defualt one.

Will it be possible to move \SYS\WinCENLS_WWE\ out from encrypted Apache_Helmi_WM6.rar? Or let me know the password? I need to replace file for localization. Thanks.

Not necessary to extract.
1. Get the latest version of the kitchen and latest version of BuildOS.
2. Create a folder in your installation directory called Patches
3. Add the following line to your selections.txt file (add it just after the ExtraDir=Apache_Helmi_WM6\Extra line)
PatchDir=Patches
4. Add your replacement files to the patches folder
5. build your rom. the files in the patches folder will overwrite those in the kitchen.

You are so right!!! I think that if I were still only a PC Technician after 25 years that I would be ashamed to admit it. Anyone who can't get any higher up than that after all that time has been "left" in the position for a real reason.

.Net is required. We will add that to the instructions. I'll also add that Windows 2000 sp4 is the minimum OS supported.

The app that does the actual ROM upgrade is HTC's (the same people that made your phone). As such, it's unlikely that it will a) be updated, or b) has a problem of the nature you describe. Furthermore, HTC's ROM update software MUST disconnect Activesync in order to perform the ROM upgrade. That ActiveSync becomes unstable and/or dies is a problem w/ Activesync or your OS. What version of ActiveSync are you using? Have you applied all the updates from Windows Update?

As Kolano pointed out, if your problem is that the PPC LCD display turns white at the end of flashing, that's a result of trying to put too much stuff in the ROM.

P.S. - when you capitalize the first letter of every word, it makes your post very hard to read.

And Im Going To Go Try The New Kitchen On The 6700..... Oh.. That File Explorer That You Say Replaces The Original But Uses The Same Icon...that Thing Sucks.... It Has No Return To Next Folder Up If You On The Storage Card For A Few Times... Your Stuck And Screwed..cant Even Close It.... There Is No Going Back From The \xxxxxxxxx
It Sucks. Going Back To Total Commander...

25 years of experience an you can't tell by looking at the screen shot of the buildos program that it needs .NET? Even "Some Punk With A Couple Of Frankensystems " can figured it out what was needed to get it working. Sad that you actually posted that on this board.

Get a clue..

The long poster/whiner above sounds like someone who should stay with the stock verizon/bell/etc roms.

Thanks to those who put all the work into the kitchen!
