New ROM for Alltel! - Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development

http://216.139.227.226/alltel/RUU_TITAN_ALLTEL_WWE_3.35.671.9_RS_TITAN_03.37.20_Alltel_2.01_AM_PPST_Ship.exe
From HTC US (http://www.htc.com/us/FAQ_Detail.aspx?p_id=63&act=sd. )
Installing it now...

Adds video messaging? Can you confirm it allows a non-6800 phone to send to a 6800 phone? Holy crap, that might be worth it.... Still no GPS with this one though, right?
I am going to have a hard time giving up DCD's awesome work for an Alltel stock ROM, please report how well it's working.

Also, isn't the ROM pictured there the old one they had out a long time ago?

Windows Mobile 6.
I am uninstalling all the crap and will try google maps (GPS) after.
Add/Remove shows 3 I have not seen before:
"Customization Hide_cannedtxt"
"Customization Hidden"
"Customization PPSTCAB"
I will leave those there for now. More updates to come.

Downloaded, phone synced, and in the debate with myself if I want to do it.
There is a thread at PPCGeeks about it, seems to be working fine.
My plan is to install the ROM update for no other reason than the radio update, which appears to be newer, and hopefully the MMS messaging will FINALLY work on this phone.

Negative on GPS.

It's funny, I wont bat an eye to throw in the latest version of whatever ROm onto the phone, but have been sitting here for 15 minutes debating on flashing the official ROM.

At PPCGeeks, it was verified as working with flashing a different ROM over it, something like DCD's 3.04. Possibly like before with the Sprint update, just don't let the customizations run?

If anyone is wondering, this is the same OS build as the Sprint release but it is including a newer radio. When I'm home and have the time I'll check to see if the drivers are any different than what was included by Sprint.
[edit] I've just updated our Titan wiki for this new Alltel ROM and radio

After flashing this official ROM, picture and video MMS works. Didn't change a thing in settings, and just received a video from a non-ppc6800 phone.

Now the question is, how do we get GPS working. If we can do that and keep the functioning MMS, I will be one happy camper.

I really want some of the things 6.1 had, like the threaded messaging.
If I were to slap DCD's 3.04 on this thing, would whatever the hell they did to have working MMS be erased? Hopefully someone smarter than me can answer that, cuz I really want to.

Certainly. It may be one of the files in the extended ROM that are providing the service. In the previously mentioned PPCGeeks thread, vetvito has extracted those alltel apps and customisations and are available for download. Those of you on Alltel could test installing those CABs onto another ROM and see what they provide you.
If I'm around the next few days and not heading out for the weekend I may add the alltel settings as an option into my kitchen. Once done, those OEMs will be available for all. Or DCD or another may beat me to it.

Gimme a few, and I will.

It has version 3.0.26.11C for Arcsoft. I will get the registry now.

yeah, the mms settings can easily be setup in my kitchen.
hopefully they will work with 5.x, i really dont want to go back to arcsoft 3.

So anybody try this with the new arcsoft on DCD's 3.0.4. Dont want to reflash rom (again and again, again) with new arscoft to try unless someone else is having luck with it.

I haven't tried it yet. But, after successfully receiving one video message from a non-6800 phone, the next one gave me the same axxess pics crap as before. I suspect it might have been over the 300k limit, and that's what causes it to pop that up. If there is a way to increase the 300k limit, that might help also.
I will do some more checking on what works and what doesn't.

I think im gonna try tonite anyways, will post what happens...wont get my hopes up though.

"error synchronizing" - MMS

I recently purchased a Verizon 6800. It comes installed with ArcSoft MMS Composer 4.2.8.1. I am unable to send, or receive picture messages. When I try to send, nothing makes it to the Sent folder. Likewise, when I try send/receive from the inbox, I get a message at the bottom stating "error synchronizing."
I know something about computers, but I am new to these PDA phones. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Regards, AARMD
where did you get the phone from? All XV6800's that I have seen come with a 'stock' version of MMS, it's like ver 3.0.15 or something similar....
yeah, the arcsoft version 4 is REALLY tricky to get working. azclown and i spent weeks messing with mine, and he had some really good ideas but i couldnt get it to keep working.
I guess I mis-spoke. Right after I bought the phone, an acquaintance installed some additional programs and deleted some others. I assumed that the ArcSoft came with the phone.
If the Arcsoft isn't going to work, what should I do?? Is there another, more dependable program that I can use??
Thanks, AARMD
Uninstall it and try to find a CAB of the original MMS, I used to have it, but since i use 4281 now, I got rid of it...
How did you get 4.2.8.1 to work? Is there a fix I can download? I'm not even sure my settings are accurate.

I have seen this problem based on which dialer I chose as well
i dont have spb pocket plus and the dialer still pops up...
same problem here, dcd 3.1.2. Funny, I looked forward to threaded sms when I upgraded
I had the same problem and was able to fix it by installing a new dialer. The new dialer doesn't look much different but the problem went away.
I have that problem on my Mogul, and I think it is PocketPlus

I think I got it, I installed the stock dialer over again and it hasn't popped up by itself since. I've attached the file I used so everyone else doesn't have to even bother searching for it.
edit: this is the gsm dialer sorry. I am removing it now

DO NOT use this dialer. This dialer is a GSM dialer and BREAKS your CDMA dialer functionality. I've seen so many people just post whatever works...then 5 more threads pop up with people asking "Why doesn't EPST work?" or "Why don't I have +1 dialing?"
Tanx for the warning - I have been flashing from Vetvitos black pill back and forth to DCD's 3.1.2 - was going to try this dialer on the next flash - will delete it immediately.

I recently found a pretty nice looking dialer designed for GSM, but does not break the CDMA functionality. It's based off the iphone dialer and looks pretty damn good. I'm not a big fan of the Diamond dialer (also maintains CDMA functionality) as I don't really care for how it looks.
^^^^ Hey brother - You holding out on me??? Let's see that dialer you just found..... please....!
Az
Here, check it out and let me know what you think...lol
So far I'm liking it.
Hey bud, downloaded it and installed fine... Looks great, and everything works except using the ## codes... Do they work for you?
## codes work fine for me....
Which codes are you trying?
I was trying the ##778#, just dials the phone.... doesn't open epst... Also, the only way I can open epst is by using the link, clicking directly on the .exe does nothing....
Is there a complete list of codes for our phone??
lol silly fool....
Sprint = ##778#
Verizon = ##778
I should have stopped the beer earlier.... So I had an off day.... It's all good... thx for the help G....

Keyboard issues since 3.1.6?? Anyone else?

It seems since 3.1.6 my keyboard has been acting up.
`Registering double-presses,
`not registering function or shift on about half of the keypresses [seems the timer to hit fcn > key is lower]
I reverted back to 3.1.5 and the problem vanished.
I've been having the same problems with 3.1.6 and 3.2 and couldn't for the life of me figure it out. Wasn't sure if it was a conflict with something I'm running or not like MagiKBLite, but even after deactivating that have the same problems...
i found this as well, i thought it was due to getting pizza grease and other junk in the keyboard and making the buttons stick. its so bad its to the point that i had to start using spb fullscreen keyboard. i am glad to see that the problem is with the software rather than the hardware. not to worry, DCD is the fu**ing man!!! im sure he will have a fix for this in the next version
All three of you need to troubleshoot this again. I haven't seen any issue on 3.1.6 or 3.2. Do this, install the pre-made ROM, your carrier file ONLY, and then see what happens..... Do this for both 3.1.6 and 3.2.... My bets are that something you included or installed is causing the issue, OR you three have a hardware issue....
I have the same issue with 3.2.0, never used 3.1.6, but I had the issue from scatch with both ROM and Kitchen builds. The biggest one for me is that I can't get the "()" keys to work and all of my contacts info has to have them around the area code due to the CIM software I have to use for work...

Did you have the issue with your previous build?
I had issues with 3.1.6 and 3.2.0 and have been experimenting. Next thing I want to try is to find the keyboard driver in an older ROM and try plugging that into the newer one, same thing I did to get my outlook working with exchange.

My previous was 3.0.4 and I did not have this issue with that build.
this started for me before I even started to flash my phone. Has slowly gotten worse. I found a thread somewhere around here or ppcg that had a small cab file that fixed things right up.
I'd hit a key and the letter would appear 3-4 times, Fn would randomly lock and unlock.... now all better...

Yep, that did the trick for me too. I had to get that keyboard fix the other day, since my T, E, I, and Fn keys would either register double/triple hits or just work whenever they wanted to. If anyone is also having an issue with some programs only registering all keyboard key hits as symbols rather than letters, this will fix that too.

I had the same issue - I used the kitchen to build my rom - I generally do my "settings" - (screen brightness, owner info, etc) before I add ANY .cabs and noticed this issue. What was funny, however, was after a soft reset (after installing one of my programs) it went away, so I never really gave it another thought.
thaaankk youuu (arrgh) thaankyou (dammit) ......install cab file...... thank you thank you thank you!!! (fu**ing EH!!! no more on screen keyboard woo-hoo..)
Thanks for the cab. I noticed it with whatever version I had before DCD3.2.0 (I want to say 3.0.4 but I could be wrong). I was starting to wonder if it was somehow related to the radio 3.39.10.
This issue has been around for the entire life of the phone. UTStarcom actually provides the fix in their downloads section for the xv6800.
http://handsets.utstar.com/view_phone_details.aspx?mcode=XV6800&bID=89&sAct=0
mine did this, but also my o, p, and l keys wouldnt register unless phyiscally pressed very hard. then would register like 3 times.
i thought it was something physically wrong with the phone and just got a brand new replacement in the mail today.... ooops
First time I have ever seen the VZW version... Glad I am on Sprint

Slide to Answer app. for VZW?

I am wanting the slide to answer app. for VZW. The One that I saw didnt work on CDMA phones. Anyone know any information?
Thanks!
This is what I have been using on my VZW Touch Pro.
Not sure who should get credit because I can't remember where it came from but who ever did it, they deserve the credit.
Skin
Do I need the default skin enabled for this to work??
EDIT: I tried it with the default skin ON and OFF and Neither of them worked
Are you using the stock ROM or did you flash to another ROM?
ROM
I am using Scrosler's ROM. I got rid of the stock ROM a long time ago
Same here.
I am using a ROM from the SSK 1.2 kitchen with slide to answer.
Not sure what is causing the problem for you?
Is it giving you any error messages.
It replaces the dialer skin (it's better if you ask me) but I didn't have to stop/start anything for it to work. Just clicked on the cab and off I went.
I just uploaded new versions of the Black CDMA CABs that I made located here, fixed some registry entries and adjusted some images. The Full version should have everything you need.
Still haven't figured out the Landscape issue, but I haven't given up yet.
Thank You!!

I downloaded both full versions and they work like a charm!
Here are screens of each dialer for those who might want to use them.
I am jealous right now! I tried both of the Black CAB files and neither worked. I did try CONFLIPPERS version and it worked great...but it is white. I REALLY want the black
UPDATE: I tried uninstalling S2U2 (since that changes the skin as well) did a softreset. Installed S2A and then a softreset and it STILL didnt work. I really dont know what else to try at this point.
The only thing I would suggest is to hard reset (backing up before hand) and try it then.
There must be something that is preventing it from making the edits (S2U2 maybe).
It works it works!!!
I found out what I was doing wrong. I was installing it to my storage card to save space instead of the device.
Thanks for all your help guys! Sorry I was dumb
Yeah, installing to storage card will prevent it working correctly as you discovered.
HTC TP on VZW running custom ROM.
Works great!
Downloaded and using the newer "black full" version.

Unfortunately, no. The only versions with the curtain are GSM only as they were ripped from the HTC Touch HD which is a GSM phone. They will work on CDMA devices, but not 100%.

Blurry MMS

I been running Simply Honey 3.8 with no problems at all and everything works great. I have only one issue its the blurry MMS. I remember this from 2.2 which i still have the zip file i flashed, but wanted to get feedback b4 i flash cause SH is 2.3 not sure if that zip file will mess anything up since it was for 2.2 software. Any help will be appreciated.

DO NOT just flash anything, if you don't know what you're doing, it will either lead to frustration or a terrible brick.....in general, do not just flash files thinking it will go smooth because that is not the case.
Go to settings, about, what is your modem version? Also, have you messed with your network, sms, or call settings?

Kb5 and have not touched any setting in the phone, besides flashing the rom...
Its not gonna werk. Any flashable .zips from 2.2 generally will result in bootloops for breakfast if you try to flash them while running 2.3. Thats just IMHO, only one real way to find out though. Good luck!
*EDIT*
You could always try to push the Mms.apk alone if no one else seems to be experiencing it.
For some people since 2.2, open your sms app, go to settings and change the User Agent....some used Nokia or whichever one, but this worked really well when it worked for an individual.....try that and if it doesn't then we can find a modified sms app for you to use.
@Kawika no im def not tryin to find out im pretty sure its not gona work but i did try a mms apk from another 2.3 rom n no good also @crazy25000 i tried chomp & handcent sms n still retained the problem i just went into setting in the sms app n i do not see the user agent you are reffering to.

Yea i have that mms fix but i used it on 2.2 the SH 3.8 is a 2.3 rom so dont think it would work....thanks for the effort....
well got tired of the blurry mms i ended up flashing back to simply galaxy 2.8 final everything back to normal no blurry mms issue....
I had the blurry mms problem, too. I tried a lot of things to fix it, what ended up working for me was installing handcent, then under handcent settings>application settings>default messaging applications select all(sms & mms). Then I froze the stock messaging app with titanium backup. No more blurry mms pics.
