OK i have decided to run with the Irus Ultra Vanilla 6.1 rom. everything seems to be working great as I am installing my programs...then I notice after setting up my exchange email account...the microsoft direct push doesent seem to be working..i try to sync my exchange account and it says it cant connect with the current connection settings. and if I try using the comm manager i cant activate the direct push...any advice on this? Now after flashing the rom I never got the Tmobile settings detection thing that I've always had before...could it be something not set for tmobile? Thanks in advance..I really need access to my work email

Just set up the t-mobile connections manually and you should be fine.
ok, forgive me for being spoiled with autoconfiguration....I think I found the settings on tmobiles web page...but i cant seem to find where to put them. I think ive looked under all the connection settings and havent found anything...i vaugly remember seeing like a manual configuration wizard that i ran back on another rom...but I doubt thats included in the ultra vanilla.

You go to Start>Setting>Connection, then you will see an icon called "Connections". The iconn has c omputer, two mobile phones and a globe. Click on that, and click on "Add a new modem connection" . Enter the name of your Tmobile company, and in the select a modem window, choose "Cellular GPRS". On the next screen, enter the Access Point Name. If you don't know what is the access point name, call your phone company and ask them.
Thats' it. Very simple.
ok, i setup a tmobile mms connection and all I did was input wap.voicestream.com into the APN and then clicked finish. Now my direct push email is working and the net is working as well. Does anyone know if that should be all I need setup to access my full tmobile data plan that I have?
ok, everything seems to be working now except my receiving of picture messages....I had a friend send me a pic and i got the text from the picture message as a normal sms, not mms. once I tried to open the sms, it gave me an error that It couldnt download the msg and it would be left in the inbox....gotta be another setting somewhere....

I hope touchlasvegas dont mind if I ask a "few" questions.
1. I'm interested in flashing this ROM, can I go back to AP4 if I choose to? There wont be a problem with the repartitioning when its already done right?
2. In the addons, did Irus put the Windows Live and MSN messenger v10.6..... or is it a previous version?
3. Also in addons, which Windows Mobile is in there....is it the same one in AP4? I'm also looking for the Comm Manager and USB to PC from Ap4?
If I can get just these few things.....I'm ready to install this more stable ROM!!!
Thanks
depends on what SPL your using...I'm on SPL 1.2 so i can bounce around on various roms as long as they are the same SPL. I believe Irus has an spl 1.2 AP4 rom, but do you know which spl you are running? I do not remember seeing the windows live and messenger apps in the addons but i may have overlooked them...easy enough to download the latest versions though. Pretty much each little piece of software you need...you'll need to get the latest version and download it. I'm lovin the speed of the ultra vanilla though, all menus are snappy instead of the slug I had been used to.
and to anyone else concerned, I tracked down the connection wizard cab in another thread, ran that and it setup all my tmobile settings perfectly...so its all good now. I have one last issue, not being able to change the softkeys...I would prefer it to say just email...or mail, instead of Gmail at the bottom right. By chance anyone know of a cab file that would remove the bottom bar totally?
I'm running Ap4.0 3.5spl. I just dont know if any of the things that I'm looking for is available in his addons.
So the answer to the first question is....."yes" I can re-flash the PK Ap4.0 ROm if I want to go back to it?
I believe you can, I wish someone else with spl 3.5 could chime in..I do not have that spl yet, so I dont have any experience with it. It would make sense that you could change between any 3.5 spl roms though
Thanks for the help touchlasvegas.
A couple questions for you. What SIP's are apart of this ROM? Is teksoft fingertouch in there?
Would you recommend IYHO to flash to this ROM? I'm reading nothing but good stuff about it!

Hi CRU2008,
I hope you don't mind that i'm answering some of your questions.
Fingertouch is not included because Irus has no permission by Teksoftco to provide it.
This rom is great, very fast and stable. I had some annoying issues with the bluetooth stack and my Cardo BT headset. Every time a call came in, after a few seconds the bluetooth connection was lost.
So i had to go back to AP4 (i disabled all that fingertouch and automatic orientation stuff), because i have to use my Ameo in a professional manner.

Hi
I had the same Bluetooth problem then i have to switch rom. I have switched to Irus TaxistV10 it works great and faster than Ap4. It is upto you which rom you choose, but i recommend the V10 rom. Reasons for that
Bluetooth stack is great
Wireless manager works on 96DPI
faster
Good luck

I've tried 2 or 3 three connection wizzard cabs and all refuses to start under this rom.

if your still lookin for the connection wizard, follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=356330 to this thread and in POST # 3, there is a list of addons. Your going to download "Shamanix HTC ConnectionSetup v1.0.31247.2.cab" after struggling to enter manual settings, this got internet, data, and MMS all working perfectly for tmobile automatically.
I'm also very lucky, as I just dont have a need to depend on a bluetooth with my advantage...if I cant talk on the speaker due to privacy at the moment, then I just send a text, not a big deal to me. I have yet to run into any problems with the Irus Ultra Vanilla rom, it just takes time to get everything working because almost everythings been removed from the rom to make it ultra vanilla, and thats what I wanted...emilination of the junk so I can pick and choose what I want.
I recently upgraded to DCD3.2.5 ROM and Radio version 3.42.50 And now i cant send or receive MMS messages. I can connect to wifi and i can send regular texts but when i send a picture it only gives me the option to send through email. How do u get MMS back. I installed the verizon carrier cab. Should i install the cricket carrier cab as well?
seems like this may be what you need

Follow A lazy Dude suggestion. You will need to install Arcsoft. I have VZW and that takes care of the issue and gives you threaded SMS/MMS as well.
Thanks they worked. Now i have a problem with the GPS. i installed the new radio version and everything but for somereason no GPS program will pick it up. i tried using google maps and Quick GPS. In order to use the GPS does wifi need to be off? If so then that means i have to use data which will cost me since i have no plan.

Do this for GPS.... Set the phone to 911 only. Then soft-reset. Then switch it back to Location on... and soft reset. Also, do a *228 , 1 OR *22899 and let the phone re-program / soft reset. Let me know if that helps.

Have you tried a hard reset? and don't install anything else.
no but i would prefer not too. Ive already done a bunch of hard resets and i finally have my phone where i want it. it would just suck to have to redo it all again.
Also my wifi isnt working. It keeps saying i have the incorrect network key when i know its right. its the same one im using on my laptop and it works fine. maybe i will have to hard reset.
these are my installed programs. Could these be messing anything up?
AIM
Oxios Memory
Quick GPS
Total COmmander
WMminibattery
HTC Home Plugin
HTC home customizer
PHM RegEdit
Pim Backup
and then i also have the verizon carrier cab, Cody ppc performance, GC arcsoft Mobile.
When i start up my phone it always says "the file 'Program' coul not be found or it is not signed with a trusted certificate. Try reinstalling the software." BUt i dont even know what its looking for.
Maybe i should hard reset But is there any of those programs i shouldnt put back onto my phone?
have you tried the Titan GPS fix yet?

would it make a difference that i have radio 3.42.50 with DCD 3.2.5 ROM?
Becasue i noticed you have the GPS fix but you also have a differen radio version than i do.
i just tried that fix and it still doesnt seem to be working. anything i can do? should i reinstall the radio or do anything different?
Im thinking about hard restaring the phone again but when i do that should i change the ROM or radio? Also any reason for the wifi not to be accepting the network key?
i just did a hard reset and only put google maps on to see if it would work and still not working. do i need a different radio? when i go to google maps and click on my location it says your handset does not seem to support the my location feature. Am i doing it wrong? Am i supposed to click on somthing different rather than my location?

There should be use GPS link on that menu. Click on that and it will start up the GPS and find your position. The default settings for the GPS in Google is to let windows manage it and it should turn it on if all is working.
Ok, so thanks to the help of a bunch of people I was able to flash my xv6800 with the latest rado and os ROMS. I started playing with the GPS now.
I've followed the instructions in the FAQ thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=363431
Enabled location in phone settings, downloaded and installed VisualGPsce and the Gps Viewer but I cannot get any response from any satellites.
GPS Viewer, when I turn it on has all kinds of info scrolling in the message box but never even hints at connection.
Before I activated my phone after flashing the new ROMS today, I saw what I thought was the GPS icon on my phone. But after doing *228 (I think that's it) on Verzion the icon is gone. May just be a coincidence but maybe not.
Thanks for any help.
Edit: What ROM, RADIO, and PRI are you using? "latest" doesn't mean much. Need specifics. You can check this under Device Information control panel.
Install google maps
set the com port to 4, baud 4800.
Enable GPS in Google Maps
See if it says Seeking Sattelites (0) and if hte number changes. If it does it's finding sats.
Also make sure you're trying this outdoors.
Lastly I'd do the aGPS fix for Verizon that gc14 posted. WOAH faster locks.
ROM iw dcd 3.2.6 radio is 3.42.50.
I did load google maps and the number sits at 0. I have tried this outside with my garman right next to it and it was able to connect.

I don't think you run it from command line persay but run it by using file explorer and clicking on the file. I could be wrong though as I'm still learning this stuff.

if you use a file explorer like GSFinder you can go to your windows folder find DMRouter click and hold until you get a pop up to select open then select parameter then type in \Diag and hit ok... check the wiki page my backslash might need to be a foward slash I can remember right now to damn early

Follow Shadow-Tech's Guide for aGPS on Alltell.... HERE
Alltel has different PDE server info. But I think you can apply the same method using that info. I believe it's posted somewhere on this site and/or the PPCgeeks site.
as a side note, for Bell users:
I am on Bell, and for some reason I didn't have to do this method to get my aGPS to work. If you install the Bell carrier cab from dcd and update the PRI, the aGPS just works. It has something to do with the NV setting? I would love to understand more about why mine was so simple. The thread that I used was this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=419855
Can someone explain what the newest PRI does and why aGPS all of a sudden works? I'd be most appreciative.
Any other ideas to try I would love to get this up and running .
THANKS NITRO! I will try this out and post my results.

I was having problems with my GPS as well where it would not lock on no matter how long I waited. I did not have this problem when I first got my phone and I'm not sure when the bug was introduced. None of the software fixes worked for me, including the ones discussed here, and the problem persisted across all ROMS, including stock.
Finally I found someone in a forum that recommended removing the battery while the phone was on. I was hesitant to do this for obvious reasons, but my frusteration drove me to desparation and I tried it. To my surprise the GPS works good as ever and typically locks onto my location in less than 10 seconds. Obviously if you can get the software fix to work for you, this is better, but this was the only thing that worked for me. Hopefully this will help someone else.

Make sure att is set to 0 in sirfgps.conf and the agps settings in the gps.conf are probably wrong too.

What should the agps settings in gps.conf be set to?
I already set ATT=0 and used Faster Fix, but still locking/fixing is very slow, sometimes taking hours.
Could this have anything to do with my location? I am in China now, have unlocked the phone so using on a local carrier. Last time I was in the US (using it with ATT) it worked great.
Solved - SGH-I777 GPS fix
The sirfgps.conf ATT_NETWORK_OPERATOR=0 did nothing for me on my AT&T SGH-I777.
I got that GPS fix app and gps worked but its full of spam adverts that show on your notification bar. They appear with a star infront of the spam advert.
I fixed it the old fashion way. By remembering how I fixed my AT&T Galaxy I gps issue.
in /etc/sirfgps.conf leave att_network_operator=1
change, SSL_ENABLED=1
save and exit
in /etc/gps.conf change the following:
SUPL_HOST=www.spirent-ics.com
SUPL_PORT=7275
save and exit.
now I get 7 second gps lock in Miami Fl.

Hi all!
Please help me to solve the problem with GPS on my SGS2.
It doesn't work at all in any navigation app, though GPS test (app from market) shows, taht the device can see a couple of satelites.
My configuration:
2.3.4 android
Kernel: 2.6.35.7
Build: UnNamed ROM v1.2.0
PS
I live in Russia. Can it be so, that GPS works only in US?

I was having problems with my GPS as well where it would not lock on no matter how long I waited. I did not have this problem when I first got my phone and I'm not sure when the bug was introduced. None of the software fixes worked for me, including the ones discussed here, and the problem persisted across all ROMS, including stock.
Finally I found someone in a forum that recommended removing the battery while the phone was on. I was hesitant to do this for obvious reasons, but my frusteration drove me to desparation and I tried it. To my surprise the GPS works good as ever and typically locks onto my location in less than 10 seconds. Obviously if you can get the software fix to work for you, this is better, but this was the only thing that worked for me. Hopefully this will help someone else.
