thanks ahead of time

No... for whatever reason the 1.04 bootloader doesn't change the size of the ROM partition like 2.04 and 2.05. No no harm keeping 1.04--just need to use the newer RUU to flash it.

Just redid with the X.04 ruu, got same error RUU has stopped responding.
Here is exactly what i am doing on my vista x32
1) Mobile device center usb on
2) Put phone in bootloader mode
3) plug phone to USB
4) USB is recognized
5) run BuildOS
6) select x.04, verizon, apache, and HTC splash at top bar
7) pick items wanted, and click green play button
8 pick verizon.prj when asked
9) click encode when asked, then exit when done
10) upgrade screen comes up and i press next
11) get error "RUU has stopped responding"


also, just noticed if i have my phone hooked up to device center for normal sync and i try to transfer a large amount of files from the computer to the phone after sometime i will get an error saying the process can not be completed the device has disconnected.

Luv2Chill,
(sorry for being so picky) i think it is a good idea to add under "tweaks" to anable Smartskeys so we dont have to do it manually everytime we have to perform a hard-reset. Hope to see this in the update of the kitchen...

Thanks for everything, you guys are the best! period!

Can you clarify what you mean? If you select smartskey in buildos it should be enabled automatically.

Or are you referring to the setting to make it scroll using the volume key?

Yes, exactly. volume key scrolling is disabled by default (yes, i read why is disabled). But i wish there was a way to enable it before the rom is cooked. (so, i guess under "Tweaks" category or something should be "enable volume key as scroll" or somehting along those lines).

let me know if it is possible. thanx!

100% possible using Patches folder. Make a copy of the smartskey.ini file in Patches, edit as desired, and hey presto that's the version that goes into your rom.

Its a tiny file, you can also just edit it after you flash, or save a copy somewhere like SD card or extended rom, and copy it over after flashing, but the above works just fine.

Tiermann....

I think I know the answer to this one... I'm using your dialer skin. In the new kitchen I've basically just copied all my dialer skin images to the windows folder and overwrote what is there... when I do this, the numbers and lines disappear and all I see are my images.

I install the touch dialer in the kitchen.

Should I just redo the dialer skin through your app?

Thanks.

You guys are awesome! But it seems like I'm rebuilding every day

This is really just an FYI.
Not sure if this registry entry was modified by Microsoft, Helmi, or the kitchen staff (or anybody), but I came across the consequences this week while standing at a rental car counter in a distant city. As a habit, when I travel I just paste relevant flight, hotel, and rental car information into the notes section of a calendar entry. This time, my information included some internet tags that made the size balloon up a little, and the note was truncated with a reminder that if I edited the appointment on the device all the associated notes on the server would be overwritten. Up to WM2003, there was no limit on the notes size, but WM5 supposedly introduced a 5kB default limit. Turns out my limit coming out of the kitchen was 1kB.

The associated key is
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\ActiveSync]
"BodyTruncation"=dword: Change from 1020 to 5120 (Decimal)

This change worked fine for me, as does bumping the dword value up to 20480 (Decimal),
supposedly the absolute upper limit in WM5.

I'm going to update to WMDC 6.1 from MS.

I was on 6.0.6783 -- if that solves the issue on Vista -- it's easier than the modaco fix.

Will try again tonight for the fun of it since I haven't customized my device too much yet.
