How did you go about getting olipro working on 64 bit vista? I guess with the nuespl its not as important, but still might be worth noting.

Had to replace every reference to sleep4 in the batch file with pause. I had found the suggestion over at XDA.

ok I think im gonna try to flash mt xv6800. Had it since December and its still stock.
After I flash the rom do I have to relock the phone?

No after you flash the rom leave the new bootloader on the phone

Thanks, gonna go look around at the diffrent roms and see what I can find.

updated the guide, addressing rockfshr's question, and banzai's information on updating while using 64 bit vista

any suggestions for a rom? Any of them have the stock applications with them? I need MS office and adobe reader. Guess I could find cabs for them. Also is the notes program on any roms?

[cornelious2]

if you go to the ftp site ( ftp://up.ppcgeeks.com/titan/users/ )

I recommend SBR_L3GION and then his ruu_signed.nbh I know its his oldest one out there, but it seems to have the most bells and whistles still attached while running quite snappily, although I have only tried it with sprint, you will have to download the verizon carrier cab and run that after you update. I recommend downloading that before you update and put it on your sd card so you don't have issues finding it while your phone cant get on the internet. make sure after you flash to go into settings and disable the task manager to show on the today screen. he included a much better program to handle that and they like to fight.

I didn't even think of that... why would someone remove the stock things like Office and whatnot ? Thanks Cornelious2 for the suggestion, I'll try that out soon.

because some people don't use that stuff much, and it takes up precious memory that can be used to gain that extra piece of performance out of the phone. no problem

Is there a way to get the Office, Adobe Reader, etc. applications seperately to put them on No2Chem's ROM if they're not in there? I just ordered my XV6800 (Verizon Titan) a couple hours ago and it's due on Wednesday, so I wanted to check on that.
