Apache WM6 Clean, No Junk Version

[nkawal]

Rob, i say you try the kitchen, with all of your lilttle tweaks and mods, i'm sure it'll work great.

Well I just installed your latest b5 and have got everything back to the way I like it but no MMS, then returned to look at the change log and realized you removed mms because people were having problems with it. I see on page 21 you suggest installing our own mms program. Anyone have any recommendations for a stable MMS program? all I need to be able to do is send pix and flix, don't need any bells and whistles just stable MMS.

Please help as I MMS on a daily basis.

Thanks

Rich

Really? I didn't even realize that. I hardly use landscape mode, that must be why. If I have time I'll take a look into what might be slowing it down and see if I might be able to speed it up some.

Okay. I've been thinking if doing a kitchen for a little while. Maybe if I have the time I'll see what I can whip up in the next couple weeks.

If you need the original MMS, you can grab it from your extended_rom, it is the biggest file. Otherwise, I know there is another new version floating around in the Apache forums. The main reason people were having trouble is because of upgrading. If the MMS is flashed into ROM somtimes it's hard to update to a newer version because it requires overwriting the old files, ect. That either leaves you unable to upgrade, or stuck with two versions of MMS if you do. So I just avoided all the hassle and made MMS optional so you can do whatever you want with it.

Hey everyone!

I know I promised carrier specific versions of build 5 by yesterday at the latest, but unfortunately my high speed internet has been down for a while and I'm unable to upload the ROMs to my ftp server even though they are finished. I'm currently online via tethering of my 6700. As soon as the high speed internet is back I'll upload them and post links on my site.

Using B5 I've noticed that the dialer does not launch EPST when the codes are entered. I can run it via a homegrown lnk file. For example, entering ##778# on the dialer should pop up the ePST applet, it doesn't.

Well as far as that portrait to landscape switching, I just loaded the 0.7 kitchen back to my phone again and its pretty fast, there must be a program(or two) that really slows it down, I sort of bareboned this time as far as the optional programs go.

One other thing- when I txf files to the phone from the computer, the transfer bar will stop at like 80% and the phone will disconnect. This happens when txf like an mp3 or something when using WM6, In WM5 its fine and I can txf large files without a hitch....(Advanced usb check box unchecked)

That's because this is a generic release, they do not have any customizations as far as carriers go. VZW and SPCS build 5 will be released as soon as my high speed internet is back up.

Huh, I don't know. A lot of people have been mentioning the slow landscape switching though. As far as the last part of your post... I will have to look into that a little.

This is a problem I experience without fail ... and I'm still running Helmi's original VZW ROM.

This problem only occurs for me when I have the Advanced USB Networking box unchecked. Oddly enough, that is the only way I can get the phone to connect to my main desktop PC which is running Vista Ultimate and using Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1. If I check the Advanced Network box, the phone tries to connect, but never completes.

I generally use Bluetooth to connect to my Vista machine. Files always transfer fine ... slower, but fine. The problem with Bluetooth Sync'ing is Windows Media Player won't see my storage card in the XV6700 for sync'ing my music and recorded TV.

To connect to my laptop, I use ActivSync 4.5 which very rarely fails.

i also use vista ultimate and mobile device center. it does not always connect via usb (when Advanced USB Networking box is checked), but i always connect without fail via BT. For USB ossiues, I usually either soft rest once, or just re-cradle, and then i can sync/connect just fine (when Advanced USB Networking box is checked)
