Now you expect folks to stick around and wait for a so called part 2? I dont think so. Boy am I glad that I didn't jump on the band wagon..lol

GoddBody - I pretty much figure everyone on here knows the potential dangers of using unofficial hacked software on their phone. Caveat emptor. There is a reason why Helmi listed it as a work in progress, and asked people to report issues. You're type of reaction is just the type that would slow down production on awesome hacks such as his. Chill out, dude.

been running the verizonguy edition of WM6, and love it. (Nice and fast).
However I can't seem to send MMS, from the camera (when you take a pic, and can send right away prior to saving).
The interface will lock. Though if I hit OK button, it just closes the MMS send interface and bring me back to the TODAY screen.

I can send MMS from the picture and video catalog screen.

Anyone else having issues?
Fix available, or is there another MMS application that will work?

No, but I did notice after taking a pic with the camera yesterday, it locked up while trying to save it briefly. It said 'that filename already exists', and hung. I waited for quite a while after ok'ing the error, and finally it killed it.

Hi verizonguy, Thanks for your ROM, I flashed the rom published at 2007.09.19. It is stable and quickly. But the IR beam still do not work with computer, can not transfer files between them.

Should mention the manual specifically states the screen should be off when performing a soft reset. Im assuming that has to do with not frying it. Does the soft reset app shut screen off before it cycles the OS?

Also, can you put the HTC boot screen back. Its much nice looking lol

The manual states to suspend the device before soft resetting because that commits the pending changes to reg & databases to flash. That is an alternative way to soft reset without losing your text messages, etc. Just power off the device, wait a few seconds, and use the stylus to soft reset.

If you use an app to soft reset you don't need to suspend the device first.

Once again, I learn something new everyday. Maybe I should have read that manual before i threw it away...

Need a quick tester. I'm currently working more on the dialer. With the most recent posted snapshot (devel2) ## codes won't work. Can I have 1 person on verizon using devel2 please hard reset to make sure you're running a clean version, then dial *22899 & the send buton? Does it successfully work or do you get a recording saying they can't successfully activate your phone? I believe ota activation is broken in devel2, just want to verify. Thanks.

I just installed it last night and activated using *228, option 1. then went back and did option 2 later. worked fine I think?
