ALLTEL WM 6.1 finally HERE!! {Merged}

[MrObvious]

So they left GPS unlocked (unlike the 3.35 ROM) but didn't do the aGPS? Can anyone else confirm? I may flash to it just because of the occasional roaming mode my phone goes into.

I am getting a status icon I have never seen before after upgrading to the new ROM on my Alltel PPC 6800. It looks like this: "rA" a small "r" with a capital "A".

Does anyone know what it means?

Quick question. Does this include a radio upgrade? For instance, I have a titan that is on the original stock ROM and radio (1.somethingorother) from a year ago. Can I flash directly to this or do I need to upgrade the radio to a newer version? I'm used to cooking ROMs, never upgraded to an "official" one before!

You can flash directly to this. I think includes the 3.42.50 radio.

Yes. This update includes the 3.42.50 update.

This version includes unlocked and functioning GPS. I didn't have to do anything to get Google Maps to be able to use the GPS. I didn't apply any updates and fixes for GPS. It seems to lockon to the the GPS satellites about the same speed as with the GPS fixes. I have not applied any registry changes to this version.

I take that back. Sat lock on was NOT as fast as before.

I went through and applied the aGPS fixes and registry changes and it is much better. These fixes do work with this version of the ROM. You should not apply the "enable GPS" patches to this ROM as GPS is already enabled.

I updated to the new ROM and noticed that GPS was working [the Alltel Nav software sparked up] but AGPS was not [could not get Google Maps to work. I reapplied the GPS patches and the Super Lock on fix and updated registry.

Now neither GPS or AGPS works.... damn.. any ideas?

Have you guys tried installing Skype? I knew of two options before the new ROM. There was the SkypeforPocketPC.exe and SkypeforPocketPCBeta.exe. The SkypeforPocketPC.exe wasn't working with WM6. There was no audio on the sending or receiving end. So, we had to install the older SkypeforPocketPCBeta.exe for it to work. Now that I've upgraded to 6.1 on my 6800 the Beta just doesn't open. It gives an error and closes (after many reinstallations it's the same story) and the SkypeforPocketPC.exe still has the audio issue. Any ideas?
