Hello all!

I'm a newb to the forums, but have been bust reading up on whats been done on this site...it's extrodinary! I am using Verizonguy's beta ROM and it has been working well, however, I cant this this Rom, or any rom for that matter, to sync with Vista (Sync Center) and Windows Mobile Device Center. From my understanding, this is just a cosmetic facelift on the latest version of ActiveSync. I also thought some of the ROMs here are able to connect via USB to you PC for syncing (AKU 3.5). Anyone else having this trouble, or am I misunderstanding something?

Thanks for the help!

Looking forward to more fun on this site!

AJB

Had no problem wtih device center in Vista. I found it seemed to work faster if I had already used ActiveSync over-the-air.

The firewall has been a source of WMDC woes since it was in early beta form. When you disable the firewall, Windows Vista will ask you if you want to configure the firewall for a specific application. Unfortunately, as recently as last week, this was still non-functioning. WMDC is listed as an application that you can select from the list, but it does not work properly. With enough time and effort, it should be possible to configure it manually, but I either disable the firewall entirely or connect via Bluetooth.
