Apache WM6.1 Build 20924 kitchen

the shell32 injection made it hang at the Windows Mobile splash screen. I am rolling back to 20755. I will keep my eye posted for the next build... if i haven't bought the Touch Pro by then.

a rollback was just what the doctor ordered. 20755 is solid. avoid the pain on the new one... or be part of the solution.

A problem I've been experiencing since 20755 (minor), is this:

Previous kitchens did not play an sms notification sound if I was in the sms chat thread (as in, a conversation thread between me and a friend). If the conversation was actively displayed on my screen, no sound would play for new SMS's (unless they were from someone else). I want this behavior back, anyone know how to get it back?

Does anyone have a solution for this?

i am very surprised we haven't seen more people complaining about the speed of this build. i even did a fresh build with next to nothing selected. the jerkiness of even just scrolling through the list of programs is unreal. even when i click the start button, it takes a couple of seconds before it gives me a start list.

does the build really just not like MY device?

It really does seem to be hit or miss. Some people loathe it and some people love it. I have actually seen some mixed performance from slow as a crawl to nice and quick. I had the same issue too where it took forever to register that I had hit the start button, but then a minute after that I was cruising the the file explorer, skyfire, text messages, calendar, weather, and then some all on Manila 2-D with no lag at all (almost like a cold start car

).

ok, now I know there is something very wrong with this build. I decided to do a clean wipe to stock rom and then flash this OS. At first, I thought things were fine, but then the strangeness started showing up again...

here is where it gets a little more interesting, and may provide some insight...

I installed SPB mobile shell (my paid retail copy)... and it started looping to tell me to register. I put in my key... it was fine for a while... then started looping again to say i needed to register.

Something just isnt right. I dont know what it is, but I know that shell32 is involved in the problem.

as this build uses some kitchen files from old builds (such as carriers.rar, something_20748.rar), i guess you'd better do a fresh re-install of ppc-kitchen maker.
some of them may need to be updated.

It's a nice thought, but it cant be true. 20755 uses the same "old" files as 20924 but does not exhibit the same problems. The only difference between the two builds is specific to the unique files they uses (which refer to 20755 and 20924 respectively). Therefore, all old OS references are not the problem. 20755 works great without the same problems.
