I love it when it's that easy.
If I change "Ring-Standard .wma" to the name of one of the rings in this folder, will that cause an error? Do I have to change all three references? Will change the default ringtone?

Change the other reg keys to the ringtone you want them to default to.

Error 100: Wrong Model
 

Q4: I get "error 100: Model id error", what should I do?
A: It may due to you get the wrong image. Please check your device¡¦s device name and language type and download proper RUU package from the vender web site again and reset your device and then run RUU again.

I've been at it for at least six hours now. I've had to revert back to the 2.02 version. After much sweating, I got it there, but now, when I go to burn the ROM, the message above comes up. I've tried putting it in bootload and installing and syncing successfully, while in the OS, and it comes up with the same error.

I'm not sure what the instruction above means. What am I looking for in my device name and language type?

Here's my device info:

Verizon XV6700
2.02 bootloader
Standard Verizon WM5 load

Let me know if you need more info than this.

Please advise.

Thank you for your time.

If you have the wrong RUU selected in buildOS, it won't flash. Changing your bootloader changes which version you need.

Also make sure the device is in bootloader mode, and connected to USB.

Double check and make sure your bootloader actually is version 2.02 to make sure it wasn't flashed to a higher number during the different attempts.

Hello,
I'm new to this forum and to tweaking a sprint 6700 with a kitchen. I've got the rom "cooked" that I want and already on my phone. Problem is that the apps. seem to not be in settings or any places that the items selected should be. Did I miss something simple in the build process that needs done to activate the items on the phone? Sorry for the bother, but I am truly a newbee with using a kitchen. Thanks for any help.
----I posted this in the upgrades forum as well as here. I don't get alot of time on the comp. and checking online for a reply sometimes takes me some time. So sorry for the second post just trying to cover my bases.------

Thanks guys, moving the ringtone to the device seems to have fixed the issue.

I dont have a solution to your current problem, but i do have a work around. . .
Get a free SSL cert from http://cert.startcom.org/.

all I do is import the CA cert from my memory card & then when I connect to exchange the server cert is approved.

Its Free, secure, & works great.

Hi all, can anyone help me out. I don't get the auto complete when writing a message and I tried using regedit to find the key mentioned in the fix on the first page but the folder (and key) don't even exist, are there any other fixes out there?

Also, my HTC Home weather plugin doesn't get the weather, it keeps saying unable to retrieve data...why's that? The rest of the internet works fine by default and this used to work before i used the cooked rom.

Other than those 2 things, I love this! Great work!

Also, if anyone can PM me, i'd appreciate it too as I dont know if i'll be able to even find my message again haha.

Which keyboard are you using? That fix is only for the HTC Touch Keyboard, so if you're not using that, it won't fix your problem. On the other hand, if those keys are missing alltogether, then that could be your problem.

For HTC Home weather problems, use the newest OEM or fix the registry entry to read the new server.

Sorry.. I had put this in the wrong thread....

I'm having a small issue and I've search this thread plus all the other ones.

I'm on the latest Helmi Mod and have been since it came out. I up'd to the rev right before the 11/17 update and it's like a rock.

However, one problem I've been having is the volume in the earpiece. BT is fine, but the ear piece stinks.

I've done the 13k tweek and turned off evdo and I've done the Vol tweek to 95k in the registry.

is anyone else having this issue?

Maybe I'm missing a thread about it somewhere? Maybe I'm just getting older and my hearing is getting worse?

Any ideas? wanna kick me and tell me to look at another thread?

Many thanks.

Since this latest build my contacts don't show up when I start typing them into text messages. Before I could start typing "Earl" for example and right about when I get to the EArl (555-5555) would show up and I could just select them from the list. Now I have to click To: and go into my contacts area and find the right person. How can I change this or what did I do wrong on this kitchen? I don't have windows word/office installed so could the autocorrect maybe be the problem? I have noticed that my words don't auto apostrophe anymore nor do certain misspellings auto correct anymore. Is this because I'm missing Word Mobile? Also, once I figure out how to get back the auto-correct feature, how can I go about adding custom corrections?

All the apps work fine, everything works well...however, my battery life isnt worth a Damn. Anyone out there no what the problem is. *and yes, all apps are closed and my battery life is still worthless*:angry7::scratch::???:

Um, I would say, yes, pretty much everyone. The volume on the builtin speaker just plain sucks. There's nothing that you can really do for it. It's been a complaint for all the time it's been out, and the os won't change it....

try these settings in the registry. they are also included in one of the oems in the kitchen.

<OL style="MARGIN-TOP: 0in" type=1><LI class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in"><FONT size=3><FONT face="Times New Roman">HKLM\Comm\AsyncMac1\Parms\DisablePowerManagement
Change Dword value from 1 (default) to 0<STRONG><SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: normal">

Disable your today items (all of them) and see if your battery life improves.

yah I've seen that.. but I swear I had a rom recently that when I made those changes my volume was much louder. I just can't remember which ROM it was.... dammit.... :)

there are times when I just don't want to use my bluetooth, it's in my pocket or in my truck and I need to answer.

battery life still is horrid lol hopefully i just need a new battery](*,)

Run acbpowermeter and see what your power draw is - give it half a minute to stabilize. Should be around 70mA or less at idle with the screen on. If it is, then you might want to watch it over time and see if you have a data connection that's enabling periodically (those really suck power). If your average power draw is 100+, then you have something enabled that's causing your issue.

I'm having a problem with this ROM in that the device will no longer charge reliably, either from the wall or over usb. I have to cycle the power button several times before I can get it to start charging, and on usb connected to my laptop, it will only charge with the power button turned off. Additionally, activesync over usb will no longer work (while it works fine over bluetooth). Internet sharing works fine over usb, but no activesync. Everything worked fine with the previous WM5 install. Thoughts?

All of your problems sound like usb cable/port issues. I can't explain your "will only charge with the power button turned off" symptom - that one makes little sense. Let's start at the beginning - did you add OEMs or cabs that are not part of the kitchen? Does the top right LED change to solid orange when you plug in your usb cable?

My current install does not have anything installed that was not part of the kitchen. When I plug in the cable, the light does not turn orange. By cycling the 'power' button (top left button) I can usually get it to turn orange and start charging after several cycles. I realize this sounds odd, but when plugged into my laptop, it will only charge when that button is 'off.' As soon as I turn it on, the orange light goes out, the screen dims, and it stops charging. On a regular wall charger, it requires the same song and dance to get it to start charging, but it will continue to charge when I turn the device back on.

I get a smiliar issue with my car charger. It's even gone as far as me getting a message that I don't have a battery installed. So I have to yank the battery put it back in and it works.

I'm not sure it's ROM specific as I had this issue with the OEM ROM on my PPC6700.

This ROM really is amazing! I'm finding that my battery has also gone soft on me, in fact both of them.
But they also take no time to charge right back to 100%. Thinking new batteries are needed before I go and slam the replacment phone or ROM.

I've had charging issues before - but nothing like this. I've had the issue where it won't charge if you reset while plugged in, problems with car chargers, etc. This is now much, much worse, and the added facts that activesync won't work, and that this happened immediately after flashing to WM6 (I synced via usb immediately before the flash) leads me to believe there is a bug somewhere.

Jed,
What happens with a new battery? I don't know this for sure, but I've seen evidence that flashing the phone when your battery is not (at least close to) fully charged can damage it. Thought I'd mention it since I didn't see any mention of a new battery in your posts.

I though I would post my issues here in the hopes that someone else might be experiencing similar problems. I TOTALLY appreciate and respect the work put into bring WM6 to the apache, however, these are some of my observations after using the kitchen for 1-2 months:

1) Multitasking - Seems much more sluggish with WM6 than with WM5. I use my phone as an mp3 player and for GPS navigation so when I'm in the car, I always have TCPMP v72rc1 running with a map application (either googlemaps, ms livesearch, or iGuidance). WM5 had no problem switching back and forth smoothly between apps, however with WM6, I frequently experience unexpected app shutdowns (either TCPMP or GPS app or both, with no predictable pattern) OR a total system freeze requiring a soft reset.

2) Screen Alignment - I am one of those unlucky users that has to align my screen once every other day or so. With the latest kitchen, my phone freezes as soon as the alignment screen comes up. The crosshairs remain in the center of the screen no matter where I tap. A soft reset is the only way to bring the phone out of the alignment screen.

3) Weatherpanel - I know, I know... this is a known issue, but it worked without a problem under wm5. I guess I'm just hoping that someone will find a way around the green screen lockup issues that the application causes under wm6 and post it here.

These could totally be limited to my usage pattern or my hardware (as most of my issues seem to be), but I wanted to throw these out there to see if any broader issues could be identified.

Thanks to all for all of your hard work on making this phone so great.

Thanks for the suggestion - I've tried that and it made no difference. BUT - it just occurred to me to go into device manager and look to see if Windows was seeing it at all. Lo and behold it was listed there, but was somehow disabled! Somehow when it came up as a new device after the flash Windows automatically disabled it. Seems to be working fine now!

This a poblem with touchflo. If you look at this post you may find some help.

The requirement that your battery be charged at least [I forget the magic number]% before flashing is to prevent the phone from dying while being flashed. The phone is not charging while being flashed, so loss of battery power in the middle of a flash will render your phone into a paperweight.

That doesn't explain your wall charger phenomena. Are you still experiencing that?

BTW, how did you find your experience with the kitchen?

You are likely running out of memory or pagepool. If your memory is below about 5 MB, you're trying to do to much at once. Otherwise, try increasing your pagepool a couple of megabytes.

OK. First thanks so much for putting this ROM out. It really rocks.

I do have a few problems though:

1) Memory usage. After a day or so my free memory creeps down to 5MB or below. I can close all open running programs, and it only frees up to around 10-13MB. If I do a soft reset it jumps back up to around 25MB.

2)Bluetooth. 2 issues: First it seems to have crackles and pops that I don't remember being there in Helmi's last WM5 build. Second it has a nasty habit of disconnecting in the middle of a call for no rhyme or reason, and not coming back on until I toggle BT on and off.

3) It won't go into standby on it's own. The backlight will kick off, but no standby.

Any ideas?

1) that's not necessarily a problem. It's possible that it's a symptom of the applications you are running.

2) I haven't experienced random disconnections, but I don't use BT that often either.

3) How do you know it's not in standby?

What's wrong with Weatherpanel? Mine works fine.

I can't help you on #1 or #2, but #3 ...

Are you using ver. 2.51? I think it's the latest version.

It causes the lock up problem with me. I use ver 2.50; never have a lockup problem.

The intent Java midlet manager can't uninstal the java program. Why?

Thanks for the reply.

For #1. Which applications would cause this? I thought it was Slide2Unlock, so I didn't put it in the current ROM. That obviously didn't fix it though. I generally run: IE, PocketCM, Outlook, Activesync, and that's about it. I do have HTC Home running also.

I know it's not in standby because I can faintly see what is on the screen still, and can touch the screen to bring it back to life. This was another thing that I though Slide2Unlock was causing, but it still persists without S2UL.

Lets start by looking at the easiest thing:

goto settings, system, power.
click the advanced tab and make sure that your "Turn off device if not used for" settings are enabled.

Even if they are, I'd change them to something else and test again. In one of the earlier kitchens I saw that settings aren't actually correctly set to what they say in the control panel until you switch it once.



Oh, and since I haven't said it in awhile because I'm usually a lurker: Thanks to everyone for all the hard work they have put into the kitchen. I really love how it has evolved, despite it taking up an abnormally large portion of my time to get everything "perfect" (at least for a couple weeks before starting over again) :)

Thanks for the tip. I just tried that, and it still stays in backlight off mode. Any more ideas?

Don't hold the power button in for so long? ...it only takes a quick push/release. If you hold it in long enough, it toggles the backlight on/off.

If you're just doing a quick tap and it's only turning off the backlight, what else did you build into your ROM?
