I'm getting an error with verizon v3 that says "RAPI.dll" was not found. Any ideas? I flash with the PC im trying it on all the time :\

rapi.dll, isnt that something to do with activesync and not the rom?

yeah thats what confused me. I was able to open another synch file.

le sigh.

Will have to probably reinstall activesynch.

WOW, ROB I COULD HUG YOU.

THANK YOU for using a Vista compatible flasher. I decided to give it a try on my main PC and woosh there it went :D

Flashing now, we'll post my feedback!

anybody?????

cant guarantee it, but i do have some wm5 apps on mine, and they work just fine.

I'm sorry guys, I know there are a lot of questions floating around on this thread. I have had a really busy day, but I should be back on track tomorrow morning. I'll get everything answered then, and hopefully will have some updates coming up.

latest for sprint is awesome. great work.

Lovng your version so far. I am running Sprint v.1... I had to do a hard reset this morning, but I think it was because the ROM didn't like the Ultimate Search tool that I was taking for a test drive.

I will report again later, but everything seems to be functioning just fine.

take your time, dont get burnt out :)

Verizon 1.43 Radio
 

Say, guys, what's the difference between the stock radio and the 1.43?

problem with activesync domains?
 

I love your clean ROM, but I have a potentially dealbreaking problem. I ActiveSync to an exchange server on a domain. But in the server connection dialog, the "domain" field under username and password is grayed out, and I can't enter anything there. I haven't seen this problem with other ROMs. Was there perhaps one registry entry removed too far?

Never mind. One of a) deleting and recreating the server entry, or b) explicitly putting https:// before the server address, fixed the problem

Correction: the problem was that I was not looking carefully at my instructions, and put an '@' in my username, instead of the WM6-compatible underscore (this is all for connecting to my mail2web.com account). As soon as an @ appears in a username, WM6 grays out the domain field...

do you have the kitchen program I would like to give a shot and make my own Verizon: wm6

ok so I have a quick possibly noob question.
I just put on the WM6 Clean Ver. 3 on my 6700 for sprint.

Will this change my situation with tethering? I used to be able to tether for free with WM5.

With WM6 does this change? Also how does internet sharing work? does that charge?

On my pda, so this may be brief.

Rickytr23,

I am currently not using any sort of kitchen to make my roms, but I saw that verizonguy just released one. You should go check it out, its under HTC APACHE, UPGRADES, and it should be near the top.

Josh_131,

Your tethering will be free just as it was in WM5, and the Internet Sharing app makes it easier than ever.

Actually v.3 is going to be great for you. Basically, I'm going to strip out everything and leave only stock, and I mean stock ONLY. I have a reason behind this, and that would be because it just seems as though 3rd party apps built into the rom just cause problems, especially when trying to upgrade them. So I am junking all the junk and v.3 is going to be 100% clean! Also, the new 1.43 radio is Verizon only To be honest, I have been having many problems with it to, and definately have not seen any noticeable improvements either. But anyway, thanks for the compliments on my work, I really appreciate it.

Thanks Torx, I have been very thankful for your testing since practically day 1.

Very happy to hear you enjoy the ROM!

Actually, i have noticed this issue with WM5 too. PIE just has an issue with some sites, and causes problems like that. Try downloading a .cab file from a different site and see what happens, then let me know.

Wow, It's nice hear from people like you once in a while! Many thanks to you for realizing the hard work I have put into these releases, and the work being put into future releases as well.

Yes and no. Most Windows Mobile 5 apps will function just fine. But once in a while you will come across a rouge app that will just refuse to work correctly in an OS it was not intended for. I'd say go for it, I have had no incompatibility problems with any of my WM5 apps in WM6.

I am really going to try putting the new HTC Home into the next version or the one after that. I might even be able to cook up something custom for you on the side if I have the time, if you wanted HTC Home completely gone. Also, I'm not to familiar with Pocket Controller. It may just be a general WM6 incompatibility issue. Maybe you could try other versions, like Helmi's and see if it produces similar results. lastly, I'm trying to get v.4 out as soon as possible. It may or may no be available by the time you are ready to upgrade again. We'll see though...

There are many other 3rd party phone dialers out there if you google for them. But I did purposely leave this dialer in my ROM because a lot of people like it and I honestly find it to be redundant to have a talk button on the screen, and one on the hardware button.

I have actually completely removed the HTC Task manager. I found it to be a big problem. I like to have Windows manage my programs for me, and I use a task manager only to list open programs, not to close them by hitting the x button. If you do lean more towards using a task manager, I prefer pBar, it is an excellent lightweight piece of software.

Really?? I actually just moved here from Grosse Pointe about 2 months ago. I'm at 12 and Dequindre. i guess this world is kinda small. That's cool to know though. Where do you work at? That is, if you don't mind telling.

Yep, RAPI.dll is an activesync component. Try reinstalling... which I think later in the thread you said you did. I'm really glad you enjoy the ROM though!

I think WM6 is a huge improvement of WM5. You should really go for it. As far as ram goes, you will have about the same: 36mb storage and 30mb of ram.

I hope it was the Ultimate Search Tool. But of course if it wasn't, let me know and I'll look into it.

Honestly, I have noticed absolutely no difference. I have actually been dropping more calls now! Go ahead and try it if you like, but I recommend you just stick with stock.

So you have it figured out now? I hope so... if you have any other questions though, feel free to let me know.

Any possibliity of hosting the files somewhere besides RapidShare? Looks like I've hit my free downloads limit.....

A) Well, I just wanted HTC Home out so that it would be easier for me to upgrade. If you put 2.0.x in, I will be happy with that.

B) As for Pocket Controller, it worked fine with the Helmi ROM. I've tried tweaking my settings but no go. Next time I plug it in and get the error message, I'll copy it and I'll make a new thread about it.

Once again, thanks for all the work! And I can probably wait for v4, unless you think it's going to be a couple weeks or more.

After a failed attempt to use VerizonGuy's first Kitchen, I needed a ROM- and quickly. I used your Sprint ROM and I've been impressed so far. No time for details (I'll post more later today).
One little request. I hate the HTC Home Today plugin. Any chance of having it disabled by default (if not removed) so that it doesn't mess with everything on first startup?

Great work. Thank you.

LOL. And as I finish this, I take the Apache out of it's cradle and the screen goes black. I freak. I put it back in the cradle and screen comes back on and everything appears to be working. Apparently, my default screen settings somehow changed to 0% brightness on battery over-night. Weird.

Yeah, thats' a good idea. I think either today or tomorrow I'll go ahead and upload to another location, along with Rapidshare.

Thank you very much for your input. I have a couple more updates on the way, so keep enjoying the ROMs and make sure to keep an eye out for new releases.

Good idea, maybe someone else might be able to help. But if I find something, I'll definitely try to help out too. V.4 for be coming pretty soon. Probably less than a couple of weeks. v.4 is basically going to be a complete stock oem rom, except for the HTC stuff(I really don't consider that 3rd party software). But I'm going to start from scratch with the original rom and tear it apart again one by one. Maybe this will solve some of the issues you all are having.

That's a good idea, I never thought about disabling it so it doesn't mess with the stuff on the first startup. I think I might do that. v.4 will be out pretty soon, so I think I'll take that into consideration. But otherwise, I'm glad to hear it's working out good for you. That is weird though about your brightness. I have this weird thing to in WM6, even Helmi's, where my backlight will default to 10 sec for some reason. You ever have that happen?

Yes, I've had the screen blank set to 10sec before. I just accept it as an MS glitch. Doesn't happen often.

Two other little "glitches" today. The first one is repeatable: When I load the camera, going into "Picture Theme" mode gives me an error. [36011:107:100] Then when I close the camera, my screen is all kerflooyed. But only if I close it from the HW/OK key. If I close it from the touchscreen (X), then it closes fine. Very curiously, when I take a screenshot of my kerflooyed screen, it looks normal. By kerflooyed, I can only describe that it looks like a color negative with some "static". I had this happening with WM5 AKU3.5, but was gone with the original Helmi WM6.

The second glitch is that I had a DSOD today. Just walking around and noticed that the screen wouldn't turn on and the phone appeared dead.

Using Sprint and this thing works nice and Smooth...or should I say clean ;)

I have one problem though. I can't play youtube videos because Adobe Flash is making PIE freeze. Could you tell me how to uninstall it?

adobe flash?
htc streaming should be the default app to load up when playing youtube videos..and it works perfect for me.

:/

For me...When I go on youtube.com... The videos on "Videos Being watched right now" is Flash. Which causes PIE to freeze and also my phone.

So I am asking is there a way to uninstall Adobe flash so the "videos being watched right now" doesn't show up and freeze my phone.

you mustve installed flash yourself because its not on my v3 sprint.
hmm.

maybe so, but where can i uninstall it...and its not in 'remove programs'

HTC Streaming Media is the default for youtube mobile, ect. Actually, I just finished my Stock WM6 for any Apache anyway. Maybe this will clear some of the issues up you all are having. It is completely stock except for the HTC programs, because I don't consider them 3rd party programs... more like 2nd party from the manufacturer. This being completely stock though, you will have to set up your data connection and mms. Thats not a big deal though... data is normally #777 for VZW and SPCS, and then just install the right mms package and your set. I'll be uploading it sometime tonight.

VOIP today plugin ?
 

Great ROM, thanks a bunch! Using Verizon v3.

I have noticed that the Apache flavor WM6 ROMs don't seem to have the VOIP today plug in available (like my 8525 WM6 does). Even after installing the WM6_VOIP cabs out there, nothing other than a config tool for SIP shows up.

I was hoping to use my Apache as a SIP VOIP phone using ViopBusterPro over Wi-Fi.

Do I need to do some registry edits? This would be very nice to have in there...

Another little glitch. MSVC is not activating with a short button push on Button5. Settings say it is, but definitely not. It is working correctly via BT headset.

I went back to WM5 using the verizon official update rom w/ 1.43 radio after using this. I have to admit, this WM6 rom was the best I used.

I just want to know one thing. The messaging used in this rom with the email settings and everything works perfectly. Is there some way to get that same system on WM5 because wow that was great, I just reverted to WM5 for speed, which improved a lot for me

ok I have run the 1st one from you and have not had a SINGLE lockup. what have you taken out from the helmi version? there is something in there (missing now) and is not causing my phone to freeze up anymore.

I just looked at it... i can't get anything to map to button 5 for some reason. Try mapping it to button 5 push and hold, and it should activate with a single push of the button after you set it to that.

robmayer,

many thanks for the ROM. I've been using V2 for since you released it. I had been using Helmi's original and honestly, didn't really have any issues with it. I don't think I'm using all the features that some of the other posters use as I'm in front of my PC damn near 12 hours a day anyhow. But I like the idea of a smaller footprint.

I'm also running lazyboy's iphone theme and while the theme is cool, WA2 and WAD is a memory hog. I'd had to soft reset a few times (last time it took me 6 times to get it all running again). I think it's probably WA causing the issue, but the theme was done on WA2 and I don't want to hardreset a bunch messing with it to get it working with WA3. I'm working on finding an emulator to mess around with.

As for your ROM, it's been an easy install with no real issues. I did experience the issue with the SD card not showing, but a few times inserting and reinserting seemed to do the trick. Your bootloader worked fine, although I keep an XP machine around just in case. I think I saw a post about using yours with Vista.

I'm also using 1.41 radio and am hesitant to go to 1.43.

Is there any real way to to backup all the customizations before you hardreset and load a new rom?

Thanks again. I'm probably going to go to your latest sprint version here shortly.

Daveedem

Hey Daveedem,

I also used Helmi's original for a while and I never had any real issues either. He has really done some great work. But what I have done is stripped all "junk" away and left only stock and HTC stock apps, as well as added some fixes and enhancements. I know you mentioned WA and WA2, and yes... those programs can be quite the memory hogs sometimes. Chris over at Lakeridge has really done a great job developing and fine tuning Wisbar Advance though. I know WA3 is out now(haven't used it much) and it might be a little lighter on your system. I know, I used to make skins a lot over a lakeridge, but that was back when WA2 was just released. Plus, my system just ran a lot better without all that... so I stopped, espcially when I upgraded to WM6. But anyway, if you can hold off until tonight I will be posting my Sprint WM6 Build 4 HTC Stock version, and it works quite a bit smoother than the Sprint v.3 release. Lastly, I'm not really aware a program to back up all customizations. Closest I could possible give you is PIM Backup, and that just backs up database stuff... contacts, sms, ect. Well, hope I helped a little. Look out for the new build. it will be here when it is posted: http://6700development.googlepages.com/downloads

Love your work man, tried all 3 versions for sprint, keeps getting better and better. I do have a favor of you, can you post the resco's file explorer that you took out of the original and post it on your board so that we can install it back, alot of us like using the resco explorer v.6 alot better that the built in one from WM. Once Again, Thanks Alot...........Your ROM's has been nothing but smooth sailing.

Resco File Explorer v.6.16 now in my downloads section here: http://6700development.googlepages.com/downloads, near the bottom of the page. Hope that helped you out Nick, and the rest of you.

Also, to those who have posted unanswered questions, I plan to get to them soon.
