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

A lot more effort is needed to configure updater.

Had this "problem" on the 6.1 build last year (?) too, but I just don't have any space.

In the kitchen, can't tell how big the individual modules are so I've gone through 17 build attempts (so far) and over two hours trying to get the thing pared down enough to load.

Ya'll got such nice and shiny things in the kitchen, and can't hardly load a one of them. Heck, my first build attempt reported "Compiled Size (0x7760000) greater than Max Rom Size (0x38e5800). Remove 0x3e7a800 bytes (65513472 bytes)." Just to show you how much of the cool stuff I wanted.

I'm not sure what's up, or if it would just be a nice feature to have something in the status bar counting how much space you have to play with, keeping you updated on how much is left or how much you are over by after each checkbox (and all modules listing their size).

EDIT:
Managed to get some basic things in:
FdcSoft PIM Backup
ExtRom Unlock
Comm Manager (10-Button)(APACHE ONLY)
Office Word
HTC Camera
sMMS Picture Mail
Touch Dialer
HTC Smartdialing
Inbox Menu Extensibility (Mark All As Read/Delete All)
B2A2DP tweaks
SD and SDHC Card Support
FTC Touch Keyboard

Really want a calculator, Adobe PDF, Office Powerpoint, Resco Explorer 2008, Opera (any), and a different today screen but can't get a one of them (individually) to fit.

Might revert to 6.1 if I can't figure out how to pare down the base 6.5 ROM.

What bootloader version do you have? To me, that seems to be the only thing that should be holding you back. Here is a list of what I have built into my 6.5 ROM.

Windows 6.5 Widgets
Solitaire and Bubblebreaker
HTC Camera
SD Card Support
Comm Manager (10-Button) (APACHE ONLY)
GB-SOFT Tweak (Auto Disconnect Data Connection)
GSFinder+ (Dutty WM6 Explorer)
HTC Smartdialing
Esmertec Jbed Java
Live Search
NoData
PHM Reset
FdcSoft PIM Backup
Pocket RAR
Pocket Sudoku
Skinny Signal Bars
BL Milk Keyboard Skin
Cleartype On
VistaHide Battery Guage
WiFiFoFum
Advanced Task Manager
Arcsoft MMS
HTC Task Manager

Hi,

I have a UTStarcom Pocket PC (VX6700) on Bell Mobility in Canada. I would love to upgrade this to WM6. I would be very grateful if someone could post a link to the correct ROM file for this device. When the upgrade is performed is the Radio version automatically upgraded or is that something that needs to be done separately.

Many thanks in Advance

Richard

this thread is regarding the release of PPCKitchens 21501 base, I am not 100% on apache, but I think that bootloader or radio is not a requirement, I could be way off on that though, there are only 6.1 roms and up available anywhere these days, I don't think you will find a 6.0 rom anywhere but the archives. as far as the kitchen goes, it builds decent roms, only issue, is that the apache can't fit a whole lot into a rome due to small device capacity

[imnuts]

The radio will only upgrade when flashing the device if you have the radio upgrade file in with the RUU when you're flashing a new ROM to your device. If you're using the kitchen, you won't have any problems with this as only the new ROM is flashed.

I have a sprint 6700 device. I have tried adding the WM6.5 21501 Rom but when I reset the phone it hangs at the Loading screen. Has anyone gotten this Rom to work and if you did how? Thanks for any help

Try deselecting one or two things and then reflashing your phone. Could be that you had just under the max allowed ROM size and it's causing problems.

I had same issue. I selected minimum option including windows 6.5 widget and 10 command wireless manager for apache. I use bootloader Rev v1.00 and RUU: NoID with Sprint Carrier. Do you know where the problem is?

Thanks for your help guys, I have the PPCKitchen application installed, I have had a play with it. Is it really as simple as starting a new project, choosing what you want in the ROM then building it & installing it? I have read in various places that you have to first put the device in bootloader mode, is this correct & is there any way of backing up my existing ROM in case I want to revert back to it.

I am a little nervous of making my pda a brick !!!!

Many thanks
