I'll be testing the rom today hopefully if you can get version 2 online.

I'll use it for a few days and donate if everything goes well! I'm hoping this fixes some problems I have been having with other WM6 roms.

very nice cap'm, I been waiting for this. Helmi's release was great, but really laggy. I had xcpuscalar set to 416 from 0-15% CPU load and all other CPU loads overclocked to 614 or whatever..so I'm really running the hell out of my Apache. Maybe this will help and I wolnt have to overclock! Or maybe I still will..the results should be good either way! Thanks again m8

also, I wish Pocket Sand was like the real Hell of Sand game http://www.addictinggames.com/hellof...llinggame.html
the explosions make the game worth it IMO

I hope this version works out better for you, let me know how it goes after a little while. By the way... Hell of Sand kicks ass.

Sprint v.2 on it's way today! Well, I hope... I'm a little busy, but I should be able to squeeze it out. That is if I stop getting "Internal Server Error 404" every time I try and make a post on here. ](*,)

Also, does this still have the HTC Home Plugin and other HTC apps like Helmi's ROM?

Lastly, is there a way to integrate the HTC Phone Pad into this ROM, or do I need a kitchen to integrate it? The OEM WM5 for Alltel came with HTC Phone Pad so I would like it in an OEM-like WM6 as well (it is also the most convenient input method for one-hand operation).

Alltel customizations will be there depending on the last ROM you had on your phone. If it was the stock Alltel ROM then they will probably be there. No, they are not removed by this ROM. I am working on that and it should be built into the v.3 update. Anyway, if the customizations do load, just perform a soft-reset right before they run. Yes, this ROM does have the HTC Home plugin, ect. and I believe the default phone pad you want is the one built-in to this ROM.

Thank you very much for the compliments regarding the WM6 development. Your input is very much appreciated, and I hope you enjoy the v.2 update even more! Please, let me know what you think after you use it for a little while.

hi, i'm very new to all this rom stuff and have been reading. I've currently have helmi's wm6 installed by following the directions. would love to install the generic as i'm on Telus but i don't know how to go about installing the ROM.
Any directions? sorry for asking a stupid question

hey rob dont forget to remind everyone about performing a soft reset before carrier customizations otherwise text wont work and you have to hard reset and bla bla bla anyway to fix that? btw thanks for a kick ass ROM works flawleslly

denti,

Here are some instructions to get you up and running with my new rom...
First, go ahead and download the v.2 rom specific to your carrier(which I believe you said "generic") from my first post. Now, you will want to make sure your data is completely backed up on your device. If so, go ahead and place your 6700 in bootloader mode. Do this by holding the voice record button and power button simultaneously while you press the reset button with your stylus. The backlight should go off and it should say "serial" at the top of the screen. Now go ahead and plug the phone it via usb to an XP machine(not vista!). Navigate to the compressed folder you downloaded containing my rom and extract it. Open up the folder and run "UpgradeUt". Follow the steps, wait for the rom to complete, then hard reset your device and your good to go. Enoy! I hope this helped. If you need any more help, feel free to pm me anytime.

Thanks Shakuyi, I think I'm going to go ahead and put a note about that in my main post. This is going to be a main fix in my v.3 updates. v.3 is going to auto-wipe the ext_rom upon flashing. Hopefully will be released shortly after I get the Sprint v.2 up for download.

thank you robmayer. installing now. will report back if i have any problems though i don't think i will :)

I would love to see a customizable HTC Home plugin like the one in this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&postcount=609

I have other programs I prefer to use for favorite contacts, weather, launcher, and music, so I don't really have any use for anything but the main tab with the clock and notifications. Actually if someone could strip the plugin down to the clock with notifications, and no row of tabs below that at all (so it's a bit smaller on screen), that would be sweet. :)

Other than that, I like it! Been running smoothly with the Verizon rom for a couple days now with no glitches. Nice work!
