Helmi Apache WM6 verizonguy edition (early devel)

[neo1982]

Just posting up more findings - It seems that the phone is not ringing everytime a call comes in. i watched my phone before as i was expecting a call from my fiance, i saw the phone light up but no ringing, i went into menus and found answer call and there she was. Also - not sure if its related to the build or not (for reference i have added 0 programs to the phone, I only have what came on the rom) but the alarm doesn't repeat ring. It just makes the (sound) once, and ends. hardly wakes me up

I haven't experienced anything like that yet. Maybe try hard resetting or re-flashing.

As for the alarm repeating, by default it doesn't keep repeating, but you can simply change that in the settings.

I do see the little checkbox next to enable alarm that says "repeat alarm" however its been checked (and re-checked) no dice.

Verizonguy,

Fantastic work... I've been running devel2 since it came out. 3 simple things that I personally would love to see...

1. I use the MS VoiceCommand 1.6 (I have over 2000 contacts on my 6700 so VSD is a dog!) so have no need for the Voice Speed Dial program ....If I don't use it I know it's taking up space. Do other people agree that getting rid of Voice Speed Dial would be helpful in saving space. ....That way people can add it in if they need it...
2. Is this the official WM6 sound theme ...I remember hearing a different sound theme (...for program selection taps there were different cool sounds, etc ...not the typewriter key tap sound we have now) on a different "quasi-version of WM5 that was emulating WM6 themes, etc.
3. I like the VistaHide Battery Gage... I install it at every upgrade but it seems like it's small and simple enough that it could be included in dev3.

Again, Great work and looking forward to devel3 ...I pray before Friday night??? (love to have it before I go on vacation!)

I'm getting really jealous. This is great for Verizon users. Any Sprint users that could do something like this? I tried, but didn't get very far.

I'm trying to leave the rom as organic as possible as what you would normally see in a stock htc release. I may eventually release one with cabs to customize such things, but no guarantees.

2. Is this the official WM6 sound theme ...I remember hearing a different sound theme (...for program selection taps there were different cool sounds, etc ...not the typewriter key tap sound we have now) on a different "quasi-version of WM5 that was emulating WM6 themes, etc.

This is Helmi's rom. I'm just fixing issues & polishing it Honestly I haven't looked into that yet. The asthetics will come later on. I'm working on functionality right now.

3. I like the VistaHide Battery Gage... I install it at every upgrade but it seems like it's small and simple enough that it could be included in dev3.

I'm not familiar with that. Is it a customized display for the battery meter or hiding the battery meter? I think I'd like to keep that as stock as possible in the base rom. Once things are polished a bit and functional, I'll have a 2nd rom with customizations. I'm trying to keep the first one as vanilla as possible.

Again, Great work and looking forward to devel3 ...I pray before Friday night??? (love to have it before I go on vacation!)

Thanks, it all depends on progress on the dialer.

The stock dialer that came with the rom once you remove the phone canvas customizations is pretty far off from what we've been using so it is taking a TON of trial & error to get it properly fixed instead of just a workaround.

I know this might be kind of an insignificant request, but I was wondering if there was any way you could put back the HTC boot logo in devel3? Great work by the way. Thanks verizonguy!

First of all thanks for this mod. It seems to be working *far* better than helmi's.

But I'm also having problems with incoming phone calls as well. I either can't answer them, or the phone locks up.

In addition, I'm having a problem where my screen blanks out every now and then, the only way to fix it is to reset with the keyboard pulled out.

Also, it appears that the hard buttons on my phone are randomly unresponsive.

Any suggestions?

I'm using development 4 now and it's even more stable then last time. Thanks so much.

However, I've discovered a couple things related to the above:

1. If the screen blanks out you have to slide out the keyboard, turn the display off, then turn it back on (this will fix it 9 out of 10 times)

2. If I have problems with the hard keys not responding (I.E. I may have to hit the hard key 4, 5 times before it may or may not respond), I pull the keyboard out and it works perfectly (fast response time, etc.)

Any ideas?
