thanks!

the radio will be packaged into the installer. the ce rom is the same stuff we already had with the BM release. I'll look through the ER to see what they tweaked in it.

devel5 is still a ways off as devel4 is stable for the most part and I'm working on a top secret project you dirty bastids will be happy about.

lol you are sucha tease. I hope the basement is giving you fits

I finally got the green boot screen of death. I did a soft reset after having used the htc home plugin to use the flight mode and program launcher. soft reset after that stuff and green screen of hell ensued.

Have you tried installing the 1.43 radio seperately to devel4 release? might be easier to just do that in meantime....

OK, what gives.... I"m constantly getting the Green-Screen of Death now. It's usually preceded by the phone not seeing my SD-card (which is not the card, or the phone hardware, as it always works fine with the original WM5 when I re-flash that as a test. I'm finding that v4 of Verizondude's release is not so stable.

FYI I flashed my 6700 with the full official AKU33 package, including the 1.43 ROM. I then re-flashed back to Devel4. Early testing is ok at this time. Not sure what the difference between 1.41 and 1.43 but no issues.

I've been lacking following the threads.... but does it seem that the boot-screen from hell (green-screen of death) seem to always be related to the HTC HOME plug-in? Is this always part of WM6? I like it, but would like to see the HTC not included in the ROM. Maybe it doesn't like being run from the ROM. Not to mention, I'd like the ability to completely remove the fragg'n thing.

If you followed the threads you could whine a lot less

Just un-check it in your today items and it is effectively gone. You will likely not have an issue after that, based on what others report. Alternatively, you can search for more specifics in this and other threads relating to it and its interaction with WM6.

Yeah, I've found Devel4 to be extremely stable with no green screen of death since I unchecked HTC Home.
Everything works great, a little lag here and there and some temporary lockups like when receiving a text at the same time you're trying to open up email, etc. Haven't tried BT Stereo yet, will play around with that tonight.

I'm getting a similar issue, but no GSOD. The storage card just disappears, the only way to get it back is a soft reset. It always comes back but usually goes away again, usually at least once a day. I'm using a sandisk 2 gig microSD in a miniSD adapter, but never had a problem with either the original ROM or Helmi's first release. (switched because i wanted to be rid of some of the apps in the ROM, and wanted IR to work correctly)
Could it be that it doesn't like the fact that it isn't an SDHC device? If so i guess I'll have to get a 6 gig.

btw, does anybody know what the Sound: Automatic setting in the HTC home, ringtone section is? I can't find any settings for it. How does it know when to change? Or has Helmi figured out a way for it to read my mind?

Thanks to Helmi, Verizonguy and all the people who have made a semi-tolerable phone into something great!

Okay...so the wife and kids left me alone long enough to sit down and laod up dev.4. the other night. I'm totally in shock now as to the true potential of what this phone can do!!!!

Install went smooth as glass! I am 4 days in now, and have opted to use Magic Button 2.1 again. (I missed my icons in the title bar...much easier to switch between stuff) I've also loaded Calendar+ 2.5.2. I used it with WM5 with no problems, and didn't realize how much I was used to it's flexability until it wasn't there.

Bluetooth & WiFi: no problems...work perfectly!

So far, no crashes, reboots, or screens of death!

I have run into one possible issue trying to log on to Yahoo. IE won't do it. It won't accept my user info for mail or other custom stuff. Haven't tried Yahoo 2.0 yet...but the E-mail sign-in is as far as I can get. I can log into every other site I've tried, but not Yahoo. I could log in on a desktop PC...but not on my 6700...kinda weird.

Other than that quirk, this thing has been bullet-proof so far!

A HUGE thanks to VerizonGuy for his tweaks (You da man)...and, of course, Helmi for his hard work!
