I've noticed a couple applications I've got - Battery Pack and Journal Bar, from Omega One, do not work very well with the new OS installed. I've installed the latest versions that claim to work with all 2003 devices, but they still tend to lock up on me.
Anyone else have that trouble?
Found any cool software that does work with the new os?

Hi there again,
I've been doing a lot of reading and searching through the forum and I now understand a lot more about my XDA - luvverly...
But I have a couple of questions - I have looked I promise but I can't find anything.. If I've missed something please forgive me !
This is all based on the fact that I still haven't upgraded the ROM to 1.1 or PPC 2003 (I'm kind of waiting for 1.2! - looks exciting!).. Yes I know I should, but are these problems common to standard PPC 2002 and will get fixed or are there other answers ?
1) Is PPC 2002 software that I install compatible with PPC 2003 ? I've got a shedload of freeware that states PPC 2002 only - is it a case of it's just untested ?
2) Program stopping - this is a major pain, when I cradle the unit and ActiveSync kicks in, it errors with "unresolved" if I have programs running.. so I have to go into memory etc and stop everything before I cradle it... I'm still not sure I understand the concept of keeping the progs open when I've exited them - can anyone help me here ? Is it like having a service in NT ?
Sorry for all of the questions, I know I should upgrade, but I like to understand why I'm upgrading first, so I'd really appreciate any help you can give.
Oh and my number port still hasn't happened.............. :evil:
Well don't all rush at once :lol:
I've sorted the brightness thing - it's to do with the background picture still being selected when I added a new theme... fairly basic stuff I realise..!
For Q1)
Most PPC2003 APP compatible with PPC2002, however some of them will cause fatal error on the machine -- Such as BatteryPack 2003 5.05 (or any version earlier). The machine will never bootup after installed the 5.05 version, except a hard-reset.
Another other example that didn't work with PPC2003 is Call2Pic, but we can use PhoneExt 1.2, which is a freeware and more powerful (if only for ringtone). XDA Phone skin chooser, Double Launcher, VITO Voice Dialer PE 2.5 work too.
By the way, all games I tried are compatible with PPC2003. Almost all media player work perfectly with PPC 2003 too, except PocketMVP.
I think it is a very good percentage of compatible software for a new OS update.
Lotus EasySync Pro doesn't work.
Just a note to add to the list. EasySync Pro does NOT work under 2003. It's what forced me back to XDADev 1.1 since I have to be able to Sync with my Lotus Notes system at work.

excellent news - thanks chaps !!
I'm clearly in the presence of people that are far more knowledgable than I, and although I wouldn't claim to be a developer I do know my way round a unix box and also work with high-end music apps (unique wav files anyone?) so I'll be glad to offer any assistance I can, whilst learning the more intricate aspects of this wonderful machine...
cheers again...
Novosec Pocket Facelift works but has problems witht he skinned taskbar. sux cuz its a nice taskbar. other than that its fine.
Upgraded to 2k5 yesterday & loved it. Problem is the following apps dont work & I am pretty used to them. Some are really critical.
Apps that dont work:
Intelligolf 6.2
MS Money 2005
SPB Pocket Pus

Not sure what bin compatibility MS has broken with 2k5. Have people had similar experience & is there a way to get these apps to run on 2k5?
Help!

I've installed the beta 5.5 Beta 10 version, but now I'm not even getting the app to appear in the today screen.
Nothing, even worse it will even prevent other apps to appear like :

Hi Hal_rr
first, I can advice to post this request in the PZP thread as the developer constantly monitors it; he is very smart and will surely be glad to help you.
Then, let me try to help you if I can...
* did you install both PZP today AND PZP tools ?
* how many today plugins do you have in your today list ? No matter how many are active, but how many they are: the OS has a limit (I don't remember if 16 or...) but over this limit plugins stop to appear. You need to count the default ones, too.
* did you try to install the tray version ? Just to see if it is anything related to pzp as today plugin or sthg else
Let me know
Ok Thanks, I was not aware of this limitation.
I've installed the Tray version and everything appears to be back to normal .. Great
Now how do you post on this other thread.
This website is sooooo sloooooow!!
I am running DCD's 2.3.1 rom and I am suffering a terrible memory leak. I have tried to disable any third party applications and that hasn't resolved the problem. Also, I don't have htc home installed on the phone.
While searching for the problem, I realized that I have my mail application running continuously (checking mail every 5 minutes) and tmail.exe is a program that is difficult to isolate. I was wondering if it is possible to substitute the WM5 version of tmail.exe with the WM6 version before cooking a new rom and have the mail client actually work? There is really only one new feature in the new tmail.exe that I find useful and I can live without that. Also, the new tmail.exe is 3-4 times larger than the older version which means a lot of new (and potentially buggy) code is in the new version. I tried to drop the old email client into the windows directory but I think it needs to be signed before it will work.
Anyway, if anyone has 2 cents to offer before I take the plunge I sure would appreciate it.
Thanks in advance...
P.S. I know I'm grasping at straws which is why I don't want to cook a new rom just to test it but I will if no one can tell me that the old email client won't work.
You probably know this already, but tmail is also used for SMS.
hi, i have had the verizon xv6800 now for over 2 weeks. i have flashed this about 30 times. trying to find the best rom to cook. what do you all think is the best rom to cook i the kitchen for this phone please.
thanks
If this helps..
I'm running DCD 3.2.0 Radio 3.42.02 on my Verizon XV6800
I have no issues.. Had it since the day it was released.. (maybe 3 weeks or so?) the biggest issue I'm aware of is HTC Xbutton has a problem.. But I don’t use that. I test GPS locks regularly, and regularly lock under 10 seconds. I have one location that I can’t seem to get a lock easily (at work).. but that’s it so far.
I would recommend reading through all the posts on DCD 3.2.2 and see what issues (if any) users are having. Most of the user issues are due to the user doing something wrong, and DCD or GC will generally jump in and confirm if it's a rom issue... so read all the posts.
The only reason I haven’t upgraded to 3.2.2 is that The list of changes from 3.2.0 were not compelling enough to re-install all my applications and settings.
Here is the software I run.. and All works great under 3.2.0 (and I will go out on a limb and say it will all work on 3.2.2 most likely)
Software I have installed that works fine.
Wisbar Advance 3.1.5 (clear reflections skin)
DCD QuickGPS
Skunkworks Flash video Bundle
HTC Streaming Media
Google Maps
Palringo
SPB Mobile Phone suite (newest?)
SPB Mobile Shell 2.x (Newest?)
Resco Keyboard Pro 5.x
Resco Explorer 2008 (with Reg and FTP add-in)
dinarsoft Memmaid (newest?)
CoreCodec Coreplayer (newest?)
Vito Funcontact
HandMark Yahtzee
iNav iguidance (this has issues.. but it's common in WM6.1.. and fixable I guess)
MS Reader
Arcsoft MMS 5.0.31.19

how do i get the battery icon to show up in the taskbar like it did in wm 5.0 since installing 6.1 i have yet to get it to show up
i still think 3.0.4 is the best rom

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Why?
I never used that one... Why would you say it is better?
ive lightly tried some newer roms, and never liked them as much as 3.0.4, to the point that i don't even bother testing anymore. GPS locks INSTANTLY every time, the phone runs smoothly (sometimes a little low on memory), everything works perfectly. i'm just so happy with how my phone is running that i dont have any desire to change. GPS is kinda my main priority, and i'm blown away by how well it works. so im set =) i was actually thinking today about picking up another 6800 just so i could test new roms, though.
