BT headset button won't activate phone

Well, that would be a huge undertaking to incorporate your own software into the kitchen. I'm not sure it is that cost effective to do that. It's not that hard to reinstall .CABs and I usually have them, and contacts and calendars, and ringtones and custom stuff, sync-ed to PCs. The hard-reset is traumatic sometimes so I don't try to challenge my ROM too much. My 6700 is doing everything I want right now so I'm happy.

Yeah, the VC can act up at times. If it doesn't get it right the first time, the second option is not even close. Hey, it is kind of StarTrek technology so I have to give it break.

Your BT problem sounds weird and associated to the ROM. I think I've read about special button mapping software on the forum if you are sure the app is there. Look in that post where the power button was crushed. Hope you get it fixed.

I see. I didn't know how bad it would be. Ok. Then is there a list (explanation) of what all the individual stuff in that kitchen is, so that I can make informed decisions about what I'm including and what I'm not including? Thanks,

If I'm not mistaken, I cooked a couple of months ago and must have got it right the first time, an explanation comes up when you hover over the item. Most are pretty apparent and if you don't know for sure, don't check it. More room to add something you really want.

The essential stuff you really need for your phone to work is already checked when you specify your carrier, so don't uncheck anything unless you specifically don't want Windows Live or something like that. It's all about the space.

Step 5 of the Ga.Medic tutorial will get you to the 12/17/2007 kitchen, which was the last WM6 before the first releasable 6.1 came out in early March 2008. You have to have an appreciation for the work and testing involved in developing these kitchens. That's why there are like 100 pages associated with them with issues from testers (basically us) that can be fixed in the next kitchen. It looks like your ROM was made with one of the first WM6 kitchens that came out. I got my 6700 in Nov 07, found the PPCGeeks site in Dec 07, read for about a month, and did my first (and only) flash in Feb 08. However, prior to the August 07 kitchen, I don't know how many iterations exist. I know that when I asked the forum, they did not recommend flashing to the already cooked ROMs that were floating around and cook through the kitchen. Just folllow the directions and you should be OK. Have you checked your Bootloader version yet? The 1.02 and 1.04 versions will be less troublesome than the 2.XX versions.

Well, I guess I didn't pick up on the fact that you could never get your BT headset to activate your phone for a call with the Cyberon or the voice tags. I know that my BT headset works with MSVC with the Helmi_c WM6 ROM I cooked so that does seem to be ROM related.

I'm not quite sure what that 3.5 AKU means, either. I do know that that was the last VZW-sanctioned upgrade to the ROM, and that was still WM5. When you do Start>Settings>System tab>About on the device what does it say about the operating system version? Maybe you aren't really running WM6??? Mine says Windows Mobile 6 Professional.

If you do happen to run into issues, it is best to post to the end of that Ga.Medic thread, which is still active. There is gguruusa there that really knows their kitchen stuff. I didn't have any problems other than not having .NET 2.0 Framework installed (kitchen wouldn't start) and RUU couldn't update the phone cuz it couldn't find an ActiveSync file.

You do know there is a separate upgrade subforum:

We should be posting there according to the rules but so far no one has complained. I suppose you could do a search over there for WM6 kitchens after 12/17/2007 if you want to make sure there are no more kitchen versions. Also, I think it would be best to work off one tutorial. Mixing the files between different builds could really be a disaster.
