TODO:
-Figuring out how the whole packaging works in buildos. Want to add in the comm manager and dialer into rom. Probably removing the terminal client in 02 unless people need it. I don't use it.

I found the 'picture enhancement' feature used on the camera as well. I'm going to try removing it in revision 02 and see if pictures at lower resolutions don't get botched like they do.

Thanks to dcd for helping me out with the bulid process in roms and ImCoKeMaN for the initial wm5 rom and all the people who made the tools necessary to make this possible.

For those who use GPS pucks:
To enable the external gps control panel open up a registry editor and go to HKLM/Control Panel/GPS Settings and change disabled to 0.

For those that want the date format in messaging to be in the american format:
Start - Settings - System - Regional Settings - Date tab. Switch to the format you want.

WM6 adds a bunch of pretty graphical type things, sliding sounds, and a few other improvements - yet WM5 seems more stable and quicker, for example when sliding or loading programs. Most of the apps you're used to in WM6 also work in WM5.

It might not be "right" for everybody, but it's definitely not a downgrade in the way you're thinking.

I WANNA TALK TO SAMPSON

refresh the directory you're probably looking at a cached version. from what i've used of wm5 i've noticed no memory leaks like wm6 is plagued with. this plus the faster speed of wm5 is what prompted me to make a clean rom.

direct path is /Titan/Users/sampson/revision 00/

i uploaded a modified htc usb driver that installs fine. according to "the internet" the settings for the dialer is no username/password and internet.com as the APN.

the file is in my user folder
