Apache WM6.1 Kitchen CE OS 5.2.19716 (Build 19716.1.0.0) - UPDATED 20080308

[temp1018]

HElP! I'm somewhat of a newb and im trying to update my rom to 6.1 which is already a difficult task thanks to vista and i keep getting this error message during the buildos status:Kitchens/Apache_Helmi_WM6.1.rar file create error. What do i do??

I know that I am by far not a chef and I have not studied this cuisine very long but one thing that has been apparent to me and keeps being an ingrediant in my kitchen that I could do without is HTC X 2.0.

Everytime I add that to my kitchen my 6700 comes to a IIIc screeching halt.

I decided since the new .rar doesn't have htc x 1.5 from the last 6.0 build, I took the file out of that rar file added it the the 6.1 version of that rar file then loaded buildOS back up check that as my option.

Now after loading it in my pda runs very very noticably faster and better. The question now that I am asking myself is; Why was it left out and why is 2.0 the only option when clearly IMHO the 1.5 version works better on 6700's.

I truelly appreciate everyone's efforts here and I know someday down the road the 6800 is coming to my future but I LOVE MY 6700 NOW!!!

I noticed the same thing with the HTC Task Manager. System would get very sluggish and sometimes require a soft reset. It was definitely happening more when attempting to interact with it.

I tried a build last night with HkTASK but couldn't deal with the mess it made on the title-bar. It also allowed bypassing the simple-pin password screen by clicking on those same title-bar app shortcuts.

Someone suggested trying O2 Plus earlier in this thread, so I gave it a shot on tonight's first build. It has almost everything I'm looking for, but falls short in a couple key areas:

1) It doesn't seem to identify all running programs like Comm Manager which I have to shut down by running Task Manager from System Settings (which I created a quick-link to on O2's shortcut-bar).
2) It doesn't seem to like Internet Sharing on it's shortcut-bar (wrong icon and won't run).
3) It doesn't allow selecting apps for the shortcut-bar by browsing through directories (maybe semi-fixable by hacking the Registry, but I haven't tried yet).

I will pry end up keeping it to replace the HTC Task Manager and recommend it as a substitute until/unless it gets fixed.

How do apply patches to this kitchen? In the previous kitchen, I could create a directory called Patches in BuildOS.

Thanks to all those involved in creating this Kitchen. Works perfectly!

One last question (hopefully)....

My time on my phone is an hour off. I reset the phone, and it syncs and it right.....

Later that day (hours later), it's an hour ahead....

I'm using WM 6.1, it should have the correct DST settings shouldn't it?

First off, let me say thank you to Helmi and others who have made this upgrade possible. I downloaded it and was able to install it on the first go from my Vista Ultimate machine (following the various instructions getting the RUU working). I've installed a fairly basic configuration and the phone seems to be running fine.

However, I'm having problems syncing...

• I have two machines that I sync to: Home - Vista Ultimate with WMDC 6.1 and Office 2003 and Work - XP SP2 with AS 4.5 and Office 2003. Neither location is syncing directly to an Exchange Server.
• I only sync notes, contacts, and calendar items
• Prior to the upgrade both PCs synced with no issues
• After the upgrade, I have been getting the "calnot.exe" problem someone referenced above on my home machine. This leads to random connection problems where I have to disconnect and soft reset the phone to get it to connect.
• On my work machine, the notes and contacts sync fine, but when trying to sync the calendar I receive the following error: "ActiveSync encountered a problem on the desktop. Support Code: 86000107".

I've Googled for the error and it points to a possible "corruption" in the Outlook data. However, this only occurs in the new ROM. I've also found a few sites with people saying that WM6.1 doesn't play well when syncing to two PCs especially if one is Vista/WMDC and the other is XP/AS.

Any ideas on this? I'm really digging on the new ROM, and would hate to downgrade again. Then again, this may be a M$ problem and not something that can be fixed in the kitchen, but you guys are a lot smarter than me.

I'm having the exact same problem so if anyone has a solution I'd like to know. I just got my ppc6700 just the way I wanted it, and I hate to go back to 6.0.
