WM6.5 build 21501 kitchen

[mastersm]

Thanks again for all your hard work. Couple of questions:
- to build a rom for the Apache doe you need both PPCkitchen_OEM.rar & the VGA version, as well as all the files under 21042?
- what has happened to Helmi are they still around, or is he with Wally
- is there anywhere that lists the changes even roughly between this build and 20931

And a small feature request for Updater to not have to restart if download doesn't complete. I find if I download 4 files and 3 have completed, it has to start all over again.

Once again keep up the great work!

No. Apache is QVGA...you don't need any VGA stuff. If you use Updater, you'll get what you need where you need it.

He stops in to say hi every once in awhile.

Probably, but you'd have to pry it out of Microsoft.

It's capable of doing file recovery. We'll look at enabling it again at some point in the future.

in testing when i used 21040 i used to get random beeps (notify me: when the sd card was removed) and i used to get it alot on damn near every rom ive cooked seince 20755 ive goteen used to the noise it made then i cooked 21042 and i havent had a random beep yet its stable fast and very nice so far

[imnuts]

How different is this compared to the 21040 build that was available as a drop in kitchen? Just wondering because I tried building with all of the same items in my selections and got a build error that the ROM was to big, and I've used the same selections for all builds from 20931 and haven't had a problem until now.

what bootloader did you have?

[imnuts]

I'm using v1.04

[mastersm]

Might be a bug but I just tried to build a few roms and on the 3rd build Buildos said it ran out of memory, when I looked under task manager it was using just under 1GB,when I closed it down, it released the memory and is working using 240kb to build first rom.

I also left my phone on and it then put it into bootloader and then failed. So I left it in bootloader then it worked ok.

There are a couple of things that might consume memory like that, one being .Net's memory manager. The other potential is using Cancel. It was never working "using 240kb" - it takes 150MB to even think about building a rom (and that's in minimal mode). We'll take a peek at it, however.

Hence, why we recommend you put the phone in bootloader before you flash.

It should have been 240Mb

Will do

Have been using and based on initial speed this is a must do upgrade for the Apache, so far everything works, much faster and more responsive...and I haven't found a bug. Congrats to all that worked on this.

Just when I thought I should upgrade my Apache you give me another reason to hold off

[mastersm]

Speaking of reasons to hold off upgrading looks like 21051 has been loaded, although it's not showing in updater yet...gguruusa you and the rest of the team are legends just when I was loving 21042 another early xmas present.

PS Why is there a delay in files appearing in updater...not that I'm complaining, just curious
