Hahaha ... one vote for for PTT, one against... :confused:

Possible it can be cabbed. First I'll prove to myself that I can remove it -- my preference (so two votes against) -- then I'll work on putting it back.

vp3g..count me in for PTT!

I like this rom, and I will stick with it until a newer wm6 WITH PTT comes out.

I'd like a little bit more storage, with newer apps, and half the ATT bull**** I don't need. ****, me personally all I need is wm6, ATT optimized with PTT Office and the rest of the **** I can add. only in a perfect world tho...touchflo doesnt excite me THAT much, although would be cool to try. I really would like a rom to come out with openin/closing sounds for when the keyboard is exposed/covered

BTW, from my first impressions, this ROM is pretty fast. Kinda annoyed it didnt have OneNote, but it installed with no problem. The start up time seems to have decreased, and they finally turned down the stupid startup sound. So far so good...

Official versus Cooked

First let me say thanks and my hats off to all you fantastic ROM cooks out there.

I have used Schaps, JJ's Black Majic, and of course vp3g's rom. All were excellant and quite truthfully the "official ATT ROM is somewhat of a let down from these prior versions.

I look forward to your cooked ROM.

I run Battery status and see very little if any difference in power consumption with this ROM over the previously mentioned ROMs. Running Photo Contacts Pro, SPB Weather, HTC Custom, Skype, and a few other applications, my free memory is about 22M after SR. With Black Majic and the others I had 29.5M.

Radio 148 so far is good and similar results that I had with 147 here in Missouri on ATT with my 8525.

I can not see speed difference but that may be just me. All functions work such as XM Radio, Cellular Video, etc. I am not big blue tooth user so no comment.

Note: While I was keying this message I had my phone connected via active sync and a call came in which did not ring and seemed to freeze the phone up for a short time and then things started working again..???

vp3G, I await eagerly for your next ROM.

Thank you,

:)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] V DidDy 210:

Upgraded to this ROM about 9 hours ago and I just got a SOD. Man, I was really hoping this would be gone!

Here is what I have installed to Storage Card (2gb Sandisk):

Live Search

One 1-Calc

Pocket RAR

Hold Comm Button Toggle Vibrate (actually this is on the device, but I had to choose install to Storage Card in order to get it to successfully install)

I also have my attachments from Outlook saving to Storage Card. Running Radio 1.48 w/ Olipro 2.1. I'm really hoping this was just a one time thing, as I was getting about 2 SOD a day on Sleuth's ROM (which was amazing, besides that).

I have tried this a number of times (literally dozens) and it will always revert back to "0"(off) so the selection tab will not show......

I'm using Total Commander on a Cingular 8525, with the "New" At&t WMG installed..... radio 1.48 IPL/SPL is 1.04/2.10 Olipro (although I don't believe IPL/SPL have anything to do with it......

I've encountered this before with TotalCommander and setting registry values not sticking, so I'm wondering is the due to TotalCommander, the Rom, what?????

Is there a cab to set the Show Band Selection tab, if so please provide, Ive tried the old one floating around & it shows installation unsuccessful, this may be due to WM6.........

Thoughts/Suggestions Please...... I've search, checked the wiki (obviously since I pulled the reg tweak from there), but it will not stay so the tab can be view/utilized.....

@VPU2,

You didn't specify so I'll just toss this out...make sure you're power cycling the device (power off, power on) after a registry change. I used to have this problem because I was soft-resetting the device right after making the reg change...too quick for the change to be written. By power-cycling instead of SR, you force the reg change to be written.

@ Shogunmark

By Live Search I mean the Windows Live Search Mapping app (wls.live.com), which is waaaaaay different from the Live Search Bar on the home screen. Basically it is Windows Live=Google Maps and a great free app.

I didn't even try to toggle the phone to vibrate before installing Kryphurs .cab. But I just uninstalled the Toggle and holding the Comm Button does not put the phone on vibrate. Does this ROM have the Vibrate Toggle Built-in? It is not working for me.

Anyone get a SOD on this ROM?
