Apache WM6 Clean, No Junk Version

[robmayer]

I have done my best to clear this issue up between me and colonel. I did apologize to him via email, and just for the record... Colonel, I apologize for my response to your post on my thread and for posting the bootloader fix on my site. The link has been removed.

Thanks

Rob

I see WM6 development as a scene effort, with many people working with others previous accomplishments. Lets not let egos ruin what should be a joint effort.

Do we all really need to post a full disclaimer detailing every code fragment and list credits for every item like the credits at the end of a movie?

Robmayer is just trying to help the masses and keep the noobs off the backs of others.

My thanks go to EVERYONE helping out here and on other sites.

first off, this couldve easily been handled via PM, email or in the irc chat.
IT IS BEING REVIEWED.

second, i think WE ALL know and agree that anything we flash or do with these phones is our liable fault..
It IS BEING REVIEWED.

third, have you not thought that maybe he wanted to take the flack if the bootloader fix didnt work?? If he had mentioned "the inside guys" as being the creators, and it ended up not working everyone in the world would be on you guys backs.. instead he lightly mentions a thanks to those who helped with the fix, and posted it up.. knowing if it didnt work people would be ringing on robs doorbell and not yours.. All im saying, is maybe he was looking out for you.
IT IS BEING REVIEWED.

forth, everyone needs to CALM the F*** down and work together to get this ball rolling forward.

I mean seriously, thats the beauty of these forums and you guys work... we have options. We got the stock helmi rom, we got an unofficial kitchen and we have a super stripped down rom.. I think its great people are eleborating on others projects in the mean time of a "finalized kitchen"

I agree.. I'm a noob when it comes to this forum. But I read with amazement some of the posts. I manage an entire group of developers from India plus some stateside, and I know what it means to take credit for something you didn't do. I also know that the written word isn't the same as us all sitting in a room together giving credit where credit is due. HOWEVER, in all of the posts I've seen from Robmayer, he was giving credit. Now granted I'm not privvy to the chat room chat, but he's apologized, posted it ... so let's all move on.

Isn't the purpose of all of this to make a good device better? I don't see any blatant "plagarism" here... what is see as a noob and an outside is some ego's getting in the way.

I wonder if Bill Gates gets his nose hairs all twisted with someone tries to make his products better.....

Let's all work together... hell if you read some of the posts, we're all violating MS licensing policy by doing ANYTHING to our devices.

let's get back to doing what we all do best... Helmi, Luv2chill, tiermann, colonel, robmayer, kirvin et al and the rest of the devs making our device better and we lowly noobs, using your tweaks.

I love you guys.. Come on -- come give me a big hug!!!!

Boy did YOU hit the nail on the head!

[daveedem]

Ok... I've installed RobMayer's ROM based on Helmi's original WM6 ROM.

I can attest to it working with bootloader v 1.00 and Vista with the Vista RUU workaround (googled and found on Modaco's site - dam another forum I just joined LOL).

The fact that it never hit the ExtROM customization was awesome - I was all poised to soft reset before it hit them.

I have about 40MB free after this ROM installed. It also seems to run pretty fast.

Only issue I experienced was that the hard reset didn't take at first... thing booted in and then I saw my iphone theme pop up... did another hardreset and it took. I think I fat fingered the 1st hard reset.

UGH.. now re-installing all my customizations.

Thanks RobMayer... and the rest of the dev guys here... my g/f asks me constantly why she can't reach me on my phone.. and I tell her "I'm flashing it again, with something cool from PPCGeeks"... she thinks I'm nuts.

I am running the WM6 Clean, No Junk Version and my radio reads version 1.10.00. I would like to upgrade to the 1.43, what is the best way to go about doing so with this?

Thanks to all for your work, I am grateful!

Haha, you guys are awesome! Some of these posts definitely got right to the point and even with some added humor.

GameDoctor, I really appreciate you jumping on the boat! Much appreciated!

Torx, I knew you would be right here man. Well said bro!

Daveedem, wow... finally somebody gets it. The part about the MS licensing policy... you said it for me! That is the truest of things and everybody needs to realize that. Plus, if MS really cracked down... none of this would be going on, period.

Well, before you start I will warn you that flashing the radio means "hard-reset" afterwards. Sooo... I have the radio packaged up in my downloads section here: http://6700development.googlepages.com/Downloads it should be near the bottom under the roms. Download it and flash it like a normal rom.

hey. i think this version rocks... except one thing. has anyone else tried using FlexMail? I used it on the original helmi release and functionally, it worked fine but was slow. i tried it on this build and it responds much faster, but now it is functionally flakey. flexmail is supposed to be able to "take over" as default mail and SMS. it did do that, but now the phone periodically gives me the original default app or the flexmail app. sometimes, i get two indicators of a text message (one from each app). this never happened before. could you look into this strangeness?

Ok.... I'm now on V4.

I don't see the my documents on the start menu either. I tried messing around with the registry and the start menu and haven't had any luck yet, but I'm sure you can get it back on the menu from there. Although there may be a cleaner way to do it.

I was trying to stay away from WA2 and WAD (yah I'm a girl - I like the iphone theme) so I thought I'd try Grumps NoWAD iphone theme, but the damn thing kept locking up my device. While it's cool, and I like some of the icons, I like the interactive nature of Lazyboy's theme. So Grump -- props to you, I am gonna use some of your icons.

I'm going to try and get VSBeta 2008 and some emulators running today so I can try and get the iphone theme ported to WA3. That'll be interesting. If you have any experience with that --- let me know. I know you can't do ROM's with it, but apps should be a different story. I just don't want to HS my device trying stuff out.

CJB --- As for #G. I'm using PC 5.07 Build 966 --- thus far I've not had any lock up issues with it.

Did you use the VistaRUU workaround? I think I saw you were using Vista. I'm on a vista box and haven't had any issues connecting. HOWEVER, I have had some customers using one of our pps on various WM5 devices and both in XP and Vista there are some weird variances wth having to connect and disconnect the devices numerous times to get active sync to recognize the device. No AS recognize no PC working.

I also can't remember, but I know that I've seen a pop up with PC that indicates using an alternative method of connecting. Did you try that?

For D -- not sure that is in the ROM as I don't have those names i my HTC home. BUT... now that I think about it... I did sync right after without looking at it, so... nope.. scratch that thought... I don't have them as contacts on my PC.

WT -- I'd lean to PocketPlus. Try uninstalling that and see if you get any stability. While a great program, I've seen it use a fair amount of memory.
