odd, i reported a drunk driver running it without any problems. Still working on dialer/canvas right now, so this is far from the final version of the dialpad.

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.

so far i have had no problems with the new rom running it on verizons xv6700

Lock-ups
 

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?

I had that alot in older versions of other ROM's. Never had a single issue of it with WM6. Are you using intellisync, or activesync/push etc? data connection? need more specifics.

feedback
 

I've been using this rom for a couple days now. compared to the Helmi_c release it is an improvement. more avail storage = no lockups. Also the battery life is double. seems a whole day now on a charge vs 1/2 - 3/4 day. I installed the wifi psk fix and it works great.

The only thing I would like to change is - it always returns to the today screen, even when manually pushing the power button. Seems to be a wm6 thing and the time out setting doesn't change this. I would love any input on this.

Thanks for a great pre-kitchen ROM!

Using Vista, it's native Windows Mobile. But it's not always freezing when sync'ed, but also sometimes when it's in my pocket. Running data-connection, but have Exchange push mail set for checking every 15 minutes to save some battery. And typically keep BT off for the same reason.

I've just updated my XV6700 and have noticed two problems:

1) I can't get into the contacts application. It appears as if it's loading, "Contact" shows up in place of start, the close button appears in the right corner.. However the rest of the screen remains as it was before, and after about a second "Contact" returns to "Start" and the close button disappears.

2) I havn't had a chance to play to much with it, but I cannot seem to sync with Outlook 2k3. I saw a previous comment about this but no solution..

Any thoughts? Thanks a lot all, and especially verizonguy

UPDATE:
Regarding point 1, I've tried installing PocketCM via the cab file on it's site. The install goes fine, however when I try to run it it flashes for a second and then closes.

2, After sitting for a while seemingly doing nothing, ActiveSync reports that there is not enough memory on the device to do the sync and recommends closing programs on the device. I checked the Running Programs section under Memory, and the only thing running is ActiveSync itself..

Could these problems then be related? I'm assuming that my phone has no less memory than anyone else's... Surely ~70 contacts isn't too many to sync!

keschrich,

1. Did you hard-reset after flash and interrupt the verizon customizations with a soft reset?

2. Classic symptom of saving email attachments to "storage card" while leaving your extended rom unlocked. If you want to save attachments to storage card, you need to relock the extended rom - there is a simple registry tweak - http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread...=7671&page=119

Yup..

Actually I'm not even trying to sync email. Furthermore I don't have a minisd card loaded as I typically have used the phone more for calendar and contact info, although I was thinking of picking one up soon...


Anyway, I tried applying the registry fix that you posted, and that didn't seem to do anything, which I guessed since I wasn't syncing email... Out of frustration I tried clearing my storage, and basically starting from scratch.. Surprisingly it works now. I'm not sure why, but I guess I'm happy :)
