Just wanted to post and say thanks to helmi_c and everyone else involved here

I downloaded the kitchen last night, built a WM6 ROM and flashed my phone. I was previously running a WM5 AKU 3.5 ROM. I'm pretty happy so far. Nice work guys

Just another post to say thanks for this - found it more or less by accident, very easy to upgrade my Telus Apache

. Great work. I'm gonna kick in donations to tiermann and helmi_c in a minute. Thanks again, guys.

Oh please, please... Wait for just one more post before banning him. I've got an urgent question first:

Familydog: Are you on drugs, guy? Before you get banned, please tell us all what substances you're mixing, so that there will be a permanent record we can all refer to for what never to try under any circumstances.

Drugs? I'd say distemper....

Actually, that's PocketBreeze by SBSH.
I use that in conjunction with PocketInformant [WebIS].

I have finally cooked my PPC-6700 and it works perfectly! Only thing is that I added that iPhone-type lock feature and can't change the background image it shows. I think flowers are nice but do not want one to be on my welcome screen.

can anyone direct me to how to change that image? I notice while holding in landscape mode that I get a bridge scene...so are these images hiding somwhere in the unit? Thanks!

I installed the new update and it works really well.
I used to have an issue with the on/off function. Sometimes it would not turn off properly and it would drain the batteries.
With the new version I do have a problem with the ON/OFF. Once in a while, it will not power on again. It seems that it happens when the unit goes off and the wifi is on. The green light will still blink, but the phone will not accept incoming calls. It also happens if i am doing a download and let the unit shuts off on its own. I will not be able to power on again.

Any idea what to do to fix it ?

Thanks.

I have also experienced this issue. It may be just a coincidence, but twice now when I have ended a relatively long call (20 min or so) when using the wired headphones, the call status screen did not re-appear, the green LED was still blinking but I was unable to power on the unit. Power button, any other button, touching the display, nothing. WiFi and BT were OFF. Only a soft reset works.

I have tried re-setting the power off timer to one minute (battery), the display off timer is also set at 1 min), and on ending a short call (longer than one minute but not more than 2 or 3 min, in any event after the screen turns off, I ended the call with no problems, the 6700 woke up to the call status screen and worked normally. I am going to try a display off of 1 min and a power off of 2 min and see if I can duplicate this.

I think the wired headphones may just be a coincidence, but when I have talked for long durations without them I did not see this issue.

I am not an expert but I think this is a wake-up issue.

I have the "blue frog big button dialer" (thanks Paul Hammond) installed to main memory, my ringtone is in main memory (rom). The image files for the big button dialer are in a folder "PhoneSkin" in main memory. I have installed (rom) the HTC Home today plugin but it is not activated. I had a lockup on the WM6 boot screen with HTC today selected, and have since deactivated both the plugin, its Weather tab and its auto-update. I was not going to re activate the HTC home until I looked at a safe mode program in case the boot screen lockup issue happened again. The only other today plugins I have activated are ptravel alarm, BT search and Samsung time. Helmi_c's latest 11-17 kitchen, radio 1.41 on VZW. I have not attempted cooking the new HTC Home 2.1.1005.722 yet.

BTW, I like Hammond's approach to skinning the dialer. I have looked at the TDial Designer (thanks Tiermann) and it seems with the registry changes made by the blue button dialer .cab file, you could drop the image files made by the Tdial program into the "phone Skin" folder and overwriting the dialer image files in \Windows would not be necessary.
