On second look, how much space do you reclaim without Adobe Flash Lite, Adobe Reader LE , Audio Manager and Pocket RAR?

I don't and probably wouldn't kludge the phone with an external GPS and don't even know what Bluetooth SIM Access are, but curious why they aren't included.

Just for clarity, the apps you've called out as follows:

* Application Versions:

ArcsoftMMS=3_5_1_24C_R1

BT_FTP=1_2_29968_1

HTCustom=1_6

Java=10_1_7_575 (Tao Intent is back!)

Office=2007 + OneNote Mobile + Fax/Zip Viewers

PIMBackup=2_4_0_0

TaskMgr=2_7_0_1

Voice_Recorder=1_0_922615

WindowsLive=10_6_28_1100

X-Button=1_51_29977_2

Are these part of your OS ROM, or are they customizations that are applied and can be user-canceled on Hard Reset?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] gerald_s:
But as soon as someone is using a tool like Schaps advanced config tool to remove the battery symbol and so on it will overwrite those settings?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
Those are the cooked in apps. Bypassing the customizations will only bypass the AT&T settings. Anything else can be had via the Add-On RAR or your own personal tweakage... :)

Hmmm.. I installed the PTT Reassign Cab. You tweaked the keyboard driver to disable the PTT button or something? Its not a big deal not having Faria's black keyboard but it looks nicer than the white keyboard. Thats all. Would be cool to figure out how to get it to work.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] k_otix99:
I've tried the cab but that doesnt seem to be the fix i need. it wont let me see who is PTT me or once i alert someone the screen never changes to the call status screen therefore i cannot control the PTT call and i never release the floor after i'm finished talking. the other party cannot respond to me once i initiate the convo.

Actually, Yahoo! Go 1.5 will not work on WM6 for me. Either on this ROM or the Cingular ROM. There is a 2.0 version coming out from Yahoo at some point.

Anyhow, it fornicates your ability to reply, write, or forward emails on all your accounts except for SMS and MMS.

I posted about it in another thread.

I seem to be having a problem with using wireless and ActiveSync. I have to stop and restart the wireless radio each time I want to sync. I have to do more testing. It appears that the connection is good for one ActiveSync only.

I used BT today and worked fine. Nokia HS-26w.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] wpbear:
actually first time in a long time it worked PERFECT with the hack ver 1.9f. I have an all in one CAB I made.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] greggerca:
Yeah, I happened to have the 1.5 CAB on my card still, so I installed it and got it working with the AT&T ROM. I also installed a bunch of other crap, but I had yet to write any emails to anyone.

Then I tried and this all-white screen came up with no To, From, Subject, or body... just Send and Menu soft keys. It was like the message template didn't finish loading.

Anyhow, then vp3G's ROM came out and I reflashed and wrote a new email after each app was installed. Everything worked, until I installed Yahoo! Go 1.5. Then the email problem came back.

When I uninstalled, I could write email again.

So, that's the only strangeness I saw so far. Other than the ActiveSync over wi-fi oddity.

Flashed VP's ROM last night and set up BT on my 8525. It found my Jawbone very quickly (as opposed to the preloaded WM5 that originally came on it). Haven't had any problems with it.

Loving this ROM - very quick and responsive. Thanks a million for the hard work!

Does installing the pttenable patch allow the dialer to go back to the "pretty"

option? I know that sleuth's pttfix patch would kill the smart dialer with ATT's latest ROM (official, WM5, not the new un-official official one). Just wandering if adding this capability back in would fix the "prettyiness"... anbody tried?

Wow - a 'keeper'

I survived a serious flashing addiction on my wizard, which carried over to my 8525, but after trying 2-3 new ROMs every day, I think that I am now able to say that I am only going to look for any new applications. This ROM has everything that I think that I would want in terms of basic content and performance.

Great job, and a highly deserved THANK YOU!!

Installed JJ's cabs. This enabled the video button AND it made the smart dialer "pretty"... the video button is useless. now.. if only we could get the pretty smart dialer WITHOUT the video button... You can then install the ZombieNexus dialer and have the dialer look nice.... WITH a video button.

If you dont mind the kaiser dialer, this one works well and looks nicer than the stock WM6 (with big buttons to boot)...

Maybe this is the right path to take... not sure. If not for the vid button... all would be PERFECT...

Great rom by the way.

Ok so I try to take a pic. I have a SD card in and I had yesterday hit the Yes save to SD card blah blah. So tonight I try to take pic and it says mem ful....I dont think so I have 300MB free on the 1GB card. Well the storage meter now says my card has only 1mb left....WHAT. So i get home put the card into a card reader and open in XP. I found the problem. One of my songs that was 4 min long and 3kb was now 300MB and 5 plus hours long.... so I play this song and it was almost my entire playlist in a loop. So somehow WM6 had planned to record my entire playist on to the first song in my playlist. WTF...anybody see I Robot or what.

Disable proxy for anything besides medianet connection. Whether wifi or 3g, if you are using your MyISP connection, disable proxy.

Yes, but to be clear - what you get is the "old" 3G HTC Vid Dialer with Smart Dialing and NOT the Kaiser's. Good enough for me until and ifever the Kaiser's is adapted.

As a bonus, with this dialer one can use zombienexus' skins which are a treat.

Smart dialer works great. You get funny options under the menu. They are related to video dialing. ... i did notice that my contacts did NOT sync with the smart dialer the very first time right after install. I hit the end button and then went to the phone again and they were there. I think the smart dialer takes a second to go through all of your contacts the first time.

The neat thing is, with this *fix* you get to have the PTT button as a mappabble AND the smart dialer. Before, it was always one or the other... wish we could do something else with the video button though. oh yeah, waht I mean by "useless" is that it doesnt do anything due to limitations of network.. and, the fact that my phone is camera-less (I have the 8500, cameras aren't cool with work)...

Thanks again for working on this VP3G.. as dumb as it sounds, this really is important to me too...

Sounds like maybe a comaptibility problem of some apps (or tweaks?) with the AT&T build.

You guys should compare what apps/tweaks you're running, and see thus which one could be related to the incident.

I cross my fingers as all is fine until now, and I hope it'll remain so. The only "disturbing" change I found from 2.0 is that scrolling pace has become slower, although that does not really matter.

Uninspiring ROM

This ROM is even more boring than your last. Three days in now and everything works out of the box. No settings to put in, nothing to tweak or configure, no registry edits. Just install my old programs and it's all done.

How do you expect a noob to learn anything this way? Without a panicked dive into the Wiki or search for which obscure line and how to edit it in the registry?

Yeah sure, the phone works great and I can use all my programs with it, but now what am I supposed to look forward to? Buying first generation Kaiser?

Have you tried navigating to where you have the ringer saved and click and hold until the extra menu pops up?
