Installed this yesterday afternoon and it's a vast improvement! Thanks so much, Helmi!
I am still looking forward to the kitchen and some of the variants that could come out of this, to tailor it a bit more; but, as is, this is still very much workable for me and much better than even AKU 3.5.

Now, for my big question: Has anyone tried replacing the initial splash screen graphic with pdocread and pdocwrite script that has been widely available? Should I be leery of trying this with WM6 or even just this build?

Has anyone had any difficulty connecting to an encrypted wifi network? I use WPA encryption on my home network; the wireless manager recognizes the network, asks for the key, but cannot establish a connection. I am using the verizon customization, with no additional installed cabs.

I have the exact same problem. I can connect to unprotected networks fine but no WPA. I have a Sprint 6700. Its a real problem, if I can't connect to my network i'l have to go back.

Same here on sprint rom, WPA-PSK/TKIP is not working, it tries to connect then says the AP is not available.

Not a real deal breaker in the short term, hopefully it gets figured out.

I'm a third

.. The wifi connection had been intermittently working with WPA but now I can't seem to get it going again. If anyone has any luck please let us know.

Attempts to use the uni_exitbootloader (from buzzdev.net) were unsuccessful most times (did work unpredictably if you would reboot the virtual machine instance). I'm going to make the following suggestion...

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO PERFORM THIS ROM FLASH FROM VMWARE FUSION INSTANCE (XP) RUNNING ON MAC OSX. There appears to be some USB connection issues where the OS image can't recognize the device even though it's plugged in - probably just a bug from VMWare Fusion. The device was recognized (while in bootloader mode) on a WinXP machine - just not under a virtual machine instance.

This update ran smoothly (as did uni_exitbootloader to get my device out of bootloader mode) from WinXP. My device successfully flashed and is updated the first time from a windows XP box (Sprint ROM). Again, do not attempt on a VMWare Fusion OS image - you're only asking for heartache. Thanks to Helmi and Buzzdev.net for the incredible work. Donation forthcoming.

i just wanted to add that I was able to flash two xv6700 using parallels on a macbook. no problems at all. both have worked like a charm, and i cant believe what a great mood ive been in...

thanks helmi_c!

I'm having problems connecting with ActiveSync after this upgrade. Which makes it impossible to go back to reflash. ActiveSync does not seem to recognize i've plugged in.

Did I miss a post on how to fix this? Anyone else have this?

I had the same problem. You may want to try disabling Advanced Networking under Start > Settings > System > Connections > USB to PC. Also make sure you're using AS 4.5.

I had this problem occur on my 6700 a time or 2. In order to get it to work again, I thought deleting my device and starting fresh would be the answer, but that didnt help.

I discovered that my firewall was blocking "rapimgr.exe" which AS uses. Once unblocked, AS started working again.

This ROM is Great! Has anyone noticed that the volume seems to be lower with this ROM than with the WM5 Kitchen? Are there any registry edits that can be made to make it as loud as the WM5 option?
