BigJ's Revision 9.6 (Mario!) ROM updated: 4/24/07

[dzuchowski]

I have also noticed that your rom takes away the ability to do three way calling, i was on a call and used the dial pad to dial a number and then i heard a dial tone and then nothing....dead no sounds, no ringing, i could switch over to the first call and that was it....any reason for this...

your also the very first person to report locking up... I havent had my phone lock up on me even once. Ill remove the SMS from the VZ build, and those that want it can use a cab file i suppose, let me know if that works once I get the new builds up please

thank you

I think that would work.... I am hoping by the next 3 hours I get a phone call from verizon confirming my order of a new phone, so I don't have to use the POS anymore. It isn't your rom... I have had this XV6700 swapped out 6 times and have been consistently unhappy with it since October. If I still have this phone i would be more than happy to help test it but I am getting it replaced with a highend flip phone so I don't have to spend the $$ for the data package anymore. Thanks for all your hard work BigJ

I could be wrong, but when I was using this rom, I noticed that the Clear Voicemail options was missing as well. The SprintExtendedROM oem included in this had that particular cab missing. It might be that the 3-way calling feature of the Sprint extended ROM was also left out.

J - perhaps we should build a new SprintExtROM oem that only strips away the obvious junk. I have taken Wideawake's sprintnojunk ext rom and removed the powerICON.cab and the removeHTCbattery cab (since your custom includes Batti, it's silly to have the additional Sprint power icon at the top.) It might make a good base for a new oem.

<edit>
After talking with luv2chill, apparently the Clear Voicemail option can be set in the registry.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\PhoneSetting]
"HiddenDeleteVM"=dword:00000000

To hard reset:
Press and hold the two soft keys (the ones above the start and end call buttons)
While holding those down, stick your stylus in the soft reset hole on the bottom of the phone. Hold it there for a couple of seconds.

If you don't see a white screen asking if you want to reset to factory defaults, then it didn't hard reset. Try again...

If you do see the screen, press Y on the keyboard, then press Space when asked to do so.

After you do that, you can get into bootloader mode to flash the new rom:

Press and hold the Pwr button and the Record button together. Stick your stylus in the soft reset hole. Hold it there until the screen goes dark and you see the word "Serial" on the display. Plug your phone into your cradle. "Serial" should change to "USB". Then flash the rom using J's instructions.

You won't find the software way to do it on the phone because JBabey took it out. I believe his exact words were "Learn how to hard reset like a man" lol. brightedge gave perfect instructions on how to do it.

I'm using BigJ's latest and I just checked my phone and I still have that option. Thats weird, I wonder what happened?

bye the way yahoo sent me a text message the yahoo go for 320x240 for ppc6700 will be available in April.

the current yahoo go will say not enough memory for pictures since the unlocked rom says only .17mb free but programs say 20mb free

3:30 in the freaking morning, and I got MMS to work properly... i want to shoot myself in the head

To get it to work properly, i decided to go the long route, build my own OEM package from scratch, find all the stupid files that get put in the phone that DO NOT show up in the .cab file and ignore the registry completely because I cant get it to build properly into the hive file.

so..... end result, the latest & greatest version of the MMS is now functioning from the latest verizon rom 3.0.6.24 and built completely into the ROM (saving you fellas 4.33 megs of space)

and..... the registry entries & outlook MMS-inbox creation are done by a CAB file.
___

i know its one more thing to install, you can setup the config.txt to autorun it on a hard reset, and the file is only 280k. but not only does it work properly, and quickly, and all that other crap, but it PROPERLY sets up the outlook MMS-inbox (wich NONE of the OEM packages do properly... they point to bad execute locations) and it allows the threaded app to no longer interfere with the MMS settings when building so they play nice now.

So i guess in the end its a compromise.... its 99% integrated into the ROM, but I seriously found no other way to get it to work properly 100% of the time. Your still going in saving over 4 megs of storage space, so I hope its a compromise you guys can live with.

I also tore through my TODO list and integrated some of the requested programs that you guys have asked for. Some will, unfortunately, not be incorporated into my ROM I found WindowsLive to be HIGHLY unstable, and a massive drain on battery, and slow the whole stupid phone down. AND it required the MSN files, wich are a freaking nightmare on battery & EVDO connection interference.

goodness im rambling again... anyways check out the front page sometime tomorow, im to tired to package everything up and upload it. Thanks for your patience on r9.3

+++++++++++++++++++++++++

I noticed lockusps too. I figured out that the lock ups would happen when the program memory went really low, i only had 14.35MB free with nothing running (according to handyswitcher).

So i backed down the glyphcache and file cache to 32768 and 4096 respectively. This gives me 24MB of program memory free and stopped the lockups instantly.

Just for some more backround on the lockups, they began while i was at work in the middle of the day. I did not install any programs beyond whats in there already. So there are no other factors that could have caused the lockups from what i can think of.
