Helmi Apache WM6 verizonguy edition (early devel) - Page 12

I installed the Devel 2 ROM yesterday afternoon. I had one splash screen lockup about two hours later, right after I installed Weatherpanel and some themes for it. I had the HTC Home plugin turned off pretty much the whole time. A hard reset got things back on track.
But other than that one hiccup, it's run perfectly. Glad the 911 fix got in, too. (Has anyone tested it/had cause to use it and make sure it's fixed?) And this is actually closer to the WM6 ROM I'd customize for myself, too.
Great work!

Edit: Forgot -- I was going to recommend anyone installing Devel 2 consider an extra hard reset after they finish the flashing process. I know this is standard procedure for many when flashing a new ROM, but I think that hard reset after the freeze might be exactly what was needed to get it running cleanly, since I haven't had a problem since.

I have a problem... this flash is not overwriting my EXT rom, is it supposed to?

If not, do you know where I can find a ext rom which is more specifically tailored for WM6?

(Search is difficult to use and not accurate, I looked as hard as I could, sorry if this has been asked.)

Huh? It should have overwritten it blank? what do you see there? Are you sure you installed properly and hard reset per the instructions before the customizations ran?

I thought according to Helmi's WM6, it leaves the EXT. ROM alone, and you just need to manually delete everything in there.

This thread is for Verizonguy's ROM, not Helmi's. I suggest you go read the original post for whichever ROM you installed, do it over, and follow the explicit directions. It will work great after that.

Short time reader - first time poster!

just thought I'd throw a few pennies in here. I went from stock xv6700 to this alpha 2 build from verizonguy (which btw - instructions were easy and install perfect) - funny enough, i had a reason today to call 911 from my vehicle.

What I found is that placing the 911 call and everything was perfectly fine. went right through conversation took place and hung up. However, what i noticed was that after this phone call, I could no longer place other calls. I went to call my fiance after 911 and found the phone would say "connecting...." then simply stop. I attempted to call a few numbers, but the phone would never get to the "ringing" stage (or even when the timer would start for a phone call). A soft reset later the phone was working again.

hope this helps out. (Not sure if it matters, radio was version 1.41)

The download in the first post only includes the Windows CE rom, no ext_rom & no radio. They will be bundled in a later version.

Anyone else having issues with the phone locking up when a call comes in. I can't answer it, (either with the green phone button, or the soft-key for ANSWER).

Strangely enough, I had this issue all the time with an older phone (also a 6700) running WM5. When I got a new phone under warranty (for another issue) the problem went away. I ran the 3.5AKU for a while, then Helmi's WM6, then Verizonguy's. Been fine up until the other day, when this issue popped back up.

Not running any other software not included in ROM.

Any one else?
