This may be a shot in the dark but there is a .cab file which addresses this
issue, details http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=9298.

The file is WM6 WPA-PSK fix.cab.

I have seen elsewhere that you must also enable TKIP as well as WPA-PSK on your router....

Please note I have not personally tried this but it is probably worth a look!

Just upgraded (thanks for a GREAT job) after running an old Helmi WM5 ROM for months with no trouble. Only thing I'm having trouble with is Today Agenda -- I can't seem to find the settings anywhere. On the earlier kitchen I believe I loaded Today Agenda from a .cab but although I've got it checked in this kitchen I can't seem to come up with it anywhere...?

Thanks,

After installation, I expect the phone to run a bunch of Verizon specific programs. That is what happened the last time I used the older version of the Kitchen. When I tried it with the latest version of the kitchen, the phone no longer runs through that type of customization. I have selected Verizon in the drop down before I build the image. I am afraid to transfer service to this phone because I am not sure it will work. Is this something new, or am I doing anything wrong?

thanks

gorb,
You're probably not doing anything wrong.
The verizon customizations are built into the rom (assuming you picked Verizon where necessary in the kitchen), so there is no need to run them from the extended rom. The autorun that you are used to seeing has been removed from the latest versions of the kitchen to avoid the conflicts that happen when the customizations are allowed to run on top of the ones already built into the rom.
Good luck, tmb

Got my first kitchen cooked and installed. Pretty cool although HTC Home sure takes up a lot of room with the billboard size clock! Can it be reduced?

Couple other quick questions:
1. Is there a way not to include the customizations from my carrier: Telus? I was using Sardinour's ROM and things worked well without anything from Telus.

2. Will I benefit from flashing my Radio (1.14 to 1.43)?

3. Is there a thread showing what people are installing and configuring their WM6 6700's?

the htc plugin cant be reduced (to the best of my knowledge), but there is a program called rltoday that is completely skinnable. there is a whole load of htc style skins on these forums, the rltoday site, and over at xda. i'm sure you can find one you like.

i thought that the kitchen flashed the extended rom blank. maybe with telus it's different. perhaps gguru or someone can shed more light on this.

2. Will I benefit from flashing my Radio (1.14 to 1.43)?

3. Is there a thread showing what people are installing and configuring their WM6 6700's?

there is a thread on the apache forums that has a list of what software ppl are using. theres also one by malatesta thats all ppl's today screens. do a search and you'll find them.


good luck and have fun

On your today screen hold the stylus down anywhere inside the agenda plug-in and a menu will pop up. Options can be changed there.

Anyone care to tackle Questions 1 & 2?:

Can't really answer number one, but from what I've read, number two is a hot debate. Some report issues or no noticeable improvement, some claim that they get 1 or 2 extra bars. I'm personally at 1.41 and didn't notice any glaring improvement, but didn't notice any issues either.

1) You need the customizations for your carrier - either by selecting your carrier in the kitchen, or letting customizations run if you're using a stock rom. If you don't want your carrier customizations to load at boot (which they won't on WM6 kitchen roms), just push the reset button when your screen says "customizing in 3 seconds"

2) Unlikely. Bars displayed doesn't mean a thing. If you aren't having any issues, then don't bother. It is not advised to upgrade your radio just because you can.
