Thought I would share which programs work and don't work with this rom.

Works:

Coreplayer
Gentimer
Google Maps (with built in GPS)
NetFront Browser v3.5 Concept Version
Sirius WM5
Skyfire browser
Slingplayer Mobile 1.6
SPB Wallet (kind of slow though)
Weatherbug

What doesn't work:
Garmin Mobile XT 4.20.50wp. It loads fine, but when you drive the program doesn't update your position, then the program locks up. I tried it several times with the same result. If you have it working, could you let me know how you got it to work? By the way, my "external GPS" settings are as follows: Programs = COM4, Hardware = (none) 4800, and Access = Manage GPS automatically is checked.

UPDATE: I was able to make Garmin Mobile XT work by selecting "none" under Programs. It worked great!

Thanks,

GP

It's WM6.1 but it's very unstable at the moment. It is an OEM Sprint ROM though.

I can't seem to disable encryption (Settings>System>Encryption) with this ROM. I uncheck the option, and it reverts. I read that others are having similar issues with other ROMs as well. Any idea why?

Thanks.

That would be very cool. This is the best ROM I've used, and it would be even better with all of dharvey4651's customizations and latest versions of apps.

Thats what I've telling him. This ROM rocks, very stable. He should update it if it needs to.

I am going to put my money where my mouth is. I am donating $10 to dharvey4651, with hope that he will retrofit the OE ROM with all of the enhancements and latest versions.

Edit: Donation done. PayPal transaction 00F87861PR685571W. Who is with me?

Did the updated radio from the offical sprint rom remain after you reflased back to this rom?

Yes the radio stayed the same and it still works perfectly for me.

I don't think any of the custom ROMs include the radio.

I was using this ROM until the "official" ROM came out. I could swear that with the Almost OEM ROM I could listen to WMP after powering off the screen, this no longer works with the official ROM. What is the magic pill that allowed WMP to continue playback after pressing the power button? Or am I crazy?

Re: Almost OEM 6.1 Sprint ROM **V.3.0** (6/10/08) GPS/Rev A. Enabled - NOW 2 VERSIONS
 
I have been having problems with audio with this rom...I had flashed this Rom initially because I just liked all the features then flashed the new 'Official' Rom to upgrade the radio, and to see if it was any good...Hated It and re-flashed this Rom.
I was wondering if anyone else has the same problems with audio as I do....more specifically alerts and announcements....MSVC is sporadic at best when announcing incoming texts..... sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't.
Also, alerts for incoming messages/text messages don't always play. I have settings for my phone to vibrate when I receive a text and also the sound file is just a stock file in the Rom. Most of the time it will just vibrate without playing the alert...I wonder if there is a conflict between MSVC and the alert trying to play at the same time????

Any help would be appreciated. I really like this Rom more than any other out there..I would just like it to have 100% alert functionality :)

I cant stand it when I send a text message and the keyboard keeps the last word I typed and uses it in the next text msg...sh*t i hate that and I cant turn it off

Downloaded GPSToday and while it works, after several minutes it loses the ability to locate and lock on satellites. A softboot restores functionality but after a few minutes it drops again. Once the satellite lock drops in GPSToday other programs (google nav. etc.) will no longer get a signal lock until I reboot. Any work around? Setting the update interval time to a larger value or manual start/stop seemed to help but I like the idea of seeing an up to date display with out having to use a manual start/stop of satellite search.

I am entirely new to this, can anyone point me in the direction of some reading material for upgrading to windows mobile 6.1? I have the HTC touch and want windows mobile 6.1. Any step for step on how to use these roms on this site? Thanks in advance.

There is a whole bunch of step by steps already posted.
For a stock Sprint Touch (not previously upgraded or loaded with cooked ROM), just for 6.1 there is only 1 step - have you phone connected and run the latest ROM (see sticky). That is what I did.
If you want to preserve the info from your device you will need to back it up, and restore once you are done. There are links in the real step by step instructions.

looks good.
Are you planning to release an updated version based on the new sprint firmware anytime soon?

Thank You

I upgraded to the Sprint OEM ROM, and am now trying to install the full version. I downloaded the files and ran the Rom Updater. It connects and goes through the quick wizard but during the update the progress never gets above 0% and eventually fails with a connection error. I have rebooted my computer, the phone, reinstalled activesync. What am I missing?????

You wouldn't happen to be using Parallels Desktop on a Mac, would you? This happened to me using my mac and parallels desktop with winxp, switched to a regular pc running xp and ran just fine.

Worse, I didnt read the initial posts properly and did not run the Vogue Unlocker. One I did that it was a breeze. Now I just need to find a good program to use with the GPS.

Live Search isn't bad, gives step by step with "beep" announcements to tell you you are approaching a turn (if you want something already on your phone). For phone based maps and voice announcements, I downloaded iGo 2006 (torrent), haven't installed it yet; there is a post in here somewhere where someone broke down the pros and cons of all the available GPS software. Try a search, though I've learned to hate searching this forum as it seems hard to find the best result in everything that comes back.

For you who are still running this ROM, someone PLEASE do me a favor--copy out an alert sound file (in the \windows directory, .wav I think) named dblbeep (double beep, or something similar) and send it to me (PM for email). If it makes it easier, I will take all the .wav and .mid from the \windows directory. DH's new ROM does not include this file and it is just the right sound for what I'm looking for. Many thanks for any help!

Are you going to make a update to this rom based off the new official sprint release?
