i have verizon xv6800 with Verizon
ROM version 2.09.605.8
radio 1.30.60
I used Outlook and mail connect to exchange server, Word and Excel
What would be the best ROM. Radio, etc. to get GPS working but still have all the above working when its done.
tools to backup everything would be great too --- its a company phone.
favorite software so far PointUI- http://www.pointui.com/Home.aspx
3.2.2 and radio 3.42.30 will do it.
Though I'd wait just a little bit longer, new rom coming soon.
if you decide to flash now, you might want to read my tutorial (link is in my signature)
For backup, I've always used either Resco Backup or Spb Backup and then save it to storage card, and restore when the flash is done.

This is my first ever custom rom that I am sharing. I used Dogguys kitchen with the leaked sprint rom and some customizations from DCD's Kitchen to create this. Let me know if you find any bugs or if you want anything added/removed and I will see what I can do.
Directions:
If you've already upgraded to any GPS enabled rom just drop the file in the Rom Update utility and flash away, otherwise the same directions posted for the other GPS enabled roms apply, you must install Hard-Spl 2.40 and the 3.27 radio.
Note: This is not packaged like other posters roms, I don't know how to do that yet.

When you say it isn't packaged, what comes in it? Does it even have office or anything else? Can you use an mp3 or mp4 as a custom ringtone? Does the EVDO icon come on? Is everything working fine in it for a TELUS customer like us?
I flashed back to default because I loved gps, but wasn't ready to stay with it with those issues.
If they work, I'll use it.

By not packaged I mean it doesn't come in a nice little self extracting file.
You can use whatever windows mobile supports for ringtones
EVDO icon does come on and everyitng is working fine for me. It is basically the same experience as the offical Telus with GPS (excep it would have all the fixes that the sprint rom provides like bluetooth and alarm issues.
Kudos on the Telus rom !
We need more of em ! Not that i'm saying DCD's kitchen is bad or anything. It is nice to have a mix of choices....
But I find the leaked rom a little buggy ?

that could be because the leaked rom is still just a beta rom, not fully done this was just supposed to be released to official testers afaik. But maybe they leaked the rom on purpose so we could find more bugs?

How's the rom working out?
Greetings all,
As I have the VZW unit and no official release for rollback to 2.09/1.30.60 is on the utstar.com page, I was wondering about just backing up what I have in my unit now before taking the plunge, or a new unit out of box from the store ? Blazingwolf stated in a post somewhere recently that the stock ROM images floating around here are from dumped units, and this makes sense because there has not been any upgrade issued since they came out. Sprint has it available only because of the 2.17 debockle. So, it seems to me that the best way for one to be sure they can roll back to their stock config is to dump their own ROM before they start. Anyone have such utility ?????? Thanks.

It's a complete Ship ROM for the XV6800 which means you can "rollback" if things go wrong with custom ROM's.
True, found and have them,,,,but,,,,

See the point of what I would like to be able to do is to extract the ENTIRE memory map of my device so that when I am done playing I can just dump my stock, but configured with all my software and voice and all stuff I put in it, back in it. This would be cool would it not ???? Sort of 'have your cake and eat it too' because you can play then put it exactly back ;-)

I'm giving up on WM6 because of the missing DUN (and a T9 bug).
I have another 3125 with the original ROM in it.
Is there a way that I can back up that ROM to my PC and install it to "upgraded" phone?
If not, is the original ROM available anywhere? I've been googling for two days and nothing. The closest thing is the AKU 3.4 from HTC which is missing DUN as well.
I've tried the WM6_BT_DUN cab file and that didn't help.

Thanks lewnetoons, I saw that ROM on the wiki, but I'm under the impression this is the DUNless version of WM5. Am I wrong?

I just removed the Radio Image, edited the install Script. And put cyans mods in it, including super user.
I did this for those of you that don't want to flash the radio or are afraid to.
Not much but no-one else has done it so here it is..

Froyo-no-radio
Hi, i did Froyo upgrade by Paul Modaco and this update my Radio, but i had lot problems with launcher2 (coming form Kang o´Rama 5.0.7t2) and go back to Cyanogen 5.0.6. My phone have a new radio yet (upgraded by Froyo update).
I can flash your update without problems?
Thanks and sorry for my bad english.
This is just the Paul/Cyan Stuff rolled into one minus the radio. Helix launcher isnt working with Froyo Yet.
Maybe uninstall helix first then do the update.

Thanks I just need it.
I don't want repeatly flash the radio if something went wrong and incase forgotten to nandroid.
Edit: I try yours one, it seems faster but it remaining appearing flashing the radio part. Is this normal, they just displaying it but not actually flash it?
It shouldn't because there is no radio image in this file and I removed the line in the update script that refers to the radio.
Does camcorder works on this rom?
the bad news is that if you do not use the new radio the camcorder does not work. So if you like your camcorder you had better use the new radio.
I can flash with RA-Recovery-v1.7.0?
Thanks.

NO. Just his Froyo stuff. Until the source is released it is not likely that any of the custom mods are going to work. They have to be ported.

u been in a cave?
Hey Guys, just finished playing around with the kitchen and made a simple modification to the default espresso ROM. Unlike other Roms, this ROM does not have a lots of kernel level modifications, and lots of changes. But this ROM is just the default Rom that came with your shipped myTouch 3G Slide, except that this ROM does not have all the bloat-ware that make your phone slow and laggy. The followings features are included:
Features
======
Espresso UI
Busy-box
Rooted
SuperUser
NANO Editor
Deodexed APK Files
100% Stable (Think of it as your default rom)
Nothing that does not work.
Flash player
Cool Boot animation (Who likes that crappy tmobile boot animation? )
Eclair (2.1) [Tried Everything To Use Froyo And Make It Stable, No Luck, But I Don't Think There Is A Lots Of Stuffs Missing In Eclair)
Some Other Stuff
Removed Stuff
==========
All Crapware
HTC PDF Reader (Use Adobe Reader From Market)
HTC Twitter Client
Stocks
Stocks Widget
Tmobile Visual Voicemail (Get It From Market If Needed)
Tmobile My Account (Same as above)
Amazon MP3
AppPack Tmobile
All other crapware that makes your phone laggy.
As far as i know, there is nothing that doesn't work (Played it with for few days to see if something is wrong). Proximity sensor, wifi, bluetooth, keyboard, all the keys, touch screen, and almost everything works perfectly. Please let me know if something doesnt work.
How to install
=========
First root your phone using this method or this method.
Then put the zip file in your sd card and go to clockwork recovery. Then just install the zip file as you would do with every other rom.
If you dont get what i am saying, check this.
Please let me know if something does not work. THanks
[I am not an android developer,just a simple guy [and a bit of java programmer] ]
I dont think Tmobile is going to give us Froyo within this Dec 15th as rumored by a lots of sites. But for now, lets stay happy with eclair and lets hope they will send the updates soon.
Download ROM
GUYS, PLEASE DONT DOWNLOAD OR LEAVE NEGATIVE FEEDBACK ABOUT THIS ROM BECAUSE THIS WASNT MEANT TO BE A ROM THAT EVERYONE SHOULD USE, I MADE IT FOR MY OWN PERSONAL USE AND JUST WANTED TO SHARE HERE SO THAT AT LEAST SOMEONE MIGHT BE SEARCHING FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS. MODS --> IF YOU THINK THIS IS INAPPROPRIATE OR SHOULD NOT BE HERE, I WOULD BE HAPPY TO SEE THIS THREAD IN THRASH FORUM (DELETED)

I used the factory shipped espresso ESPRIMG.ZIP file and modified it.

Yeap nano is a terminal text editor. That means that if you want to edit some config file or text file in recovery mode or somewhere using adb shell, you can [I think it is better than vi]
What kitchen were you using? Rom looks promising! Also what firmware is this? The original firmware that cane with old slides or newer teaser firmware that comes with newer slides? Also would you like a2ext support put into the rom?

That's not an OTA rom...
THIS is an OTA rom.
OTA brought the retail system (1.27.531) to 1.35.531 and updated the radio as well. If you're linking me to the correct Espresso zip that you used, you've based you rom on outdated system software.
Please correct me if I'm wrong. Has someone flashed this that can check their About this Phone section of settings to see which system version this is?

That is the latest we can use, because the latest ota does not allow flashing unsigned packages, so even clockworkmod wont work there. but you can always install the rom first and install the update.zip for the new ota (that is if you find one) . good luck

Fast and functional. I'm thankful for a new rom to use. Outdated is not an issue. I still load donut on people's G1's when they want stable root. Either way thanks for contributing....I could live without the negative comments.

Pointing out that the starting-point of this rom is outdated and potentially buggy is hardly a negative comment. It's a statement of fact that isn't mentioned anywhere in the first post. People should be aware of what they are flashing.
Improvements included with this update are as follows:
1. Battery Life:
Updates to the T-Mobile online contact backup connection, which will improve battery life.
2. Wi-Fi:
Ability to send MMS messages when connected to Wi-Fi.
3. Genius Button improvements:
Ability to turn GPS on and off using your voice, such as “Turn GPS on.”
Will announce Caller ID for incoming voice calls and allow you to “Answer” or “Ignore” using your voice.
Will announce incoming text messages and allow you to “reply” with dictation.
4. Faves Gallery improvements:
The Faves icon will be displayed beside notifications that appear while the device is locked to indicate that the communication is coming from one of your Faves.
Fave photo display speed will be enhanced.
General stability will be improved, including more seamless scrolling and consistent display of photos
