I have Verizion Wireless. I just installed BootLoader 2.40, Titan_Radio_ROM_3.42.30, dcd_titan_kitchen_3.2.2, and dcd Verizon Carrier 20080706.cab. I don't know if I was supposed to, but also did *228 option 1 to program my phone and *228 option 2 for updating roaming cababilities. The internet works fine on the phone and I can recieve text messages without any problems, but I can't make or recieve phone calls. Thanks for your help and time!!
Gonna go out on a limb here and guess that it's saying you're not authenticated?
You need to call Verizon and have them authenticate you. It's normal when you go from stock to a GPS radio.
I go with gc14 on this one. Just had the same thing happen to me a while ago after just doing a hard reset...no update ROM, radio, or anything. Just hard reset and no more authentication...what a pain. lol
Oh, yeah. I listened again and that's what she said. OK, I'll call them tomorrow.
I even got my TomTom GPS software working. I didn't need to use any 3rd party software to get it working either like it said on the forums.
I even got Opera Java working, but I got some kind of message when I was installing the Java software saying that Sprint couldn't guarantee something. I don't remember the exact message, but I don't have Sprint, I have Verizon. Did I install the wrong ROM or something? Am I going to have problems now? Thanks!
How come everywhere I go now it thinks my phone is a Sprint PPC-6800, when it's really a Verizion XV-6800? I just went to Yahoo.com and it's calling my phone a Sprint PPC-6800. Is this going to cause any problems with my Verizon account? Thanks..
OK, I called Verizon this morning and they gave me a new A-Key, and I can make and receive phone calls now. I got a couple of other issues.
When I go to Messaging only Text Messages are their now and MMS Messages are missing. So, I can't figure out how to Send picture or video messages anymore. Before when I clicked on a pic it gave me the option of sending it via MMS and that option is now gone. Now, if I click on Send it takes me to, "Select an Account" but only Text Messages and Setup E-mail acount is there now. I don't know if the new version of WM6.1 handles MMS messages differently but I can't figure out how to send MMS text messages anymore. Am I missing something?
Also, I installed the v5 of the camera software and I can't figure out how to turn on the Flash. I've been messing with it, but can't figure it out.
Well, those are the only two issues so far, so hopefully somebody knows what's up and if I get them fixed I'll be really happy. Thanks everybody for all the help!!

I don't use text messages, so I can't be sure, but I think there are other links about text messages. You likely need to install a program. Try searching and let us know if you find it.
As far as the flash with v5 of camera, I think you are out of luck. My memory is there is no flash. There is a way of installing the old camera back without doing a hard reset. I just don't remember how to do it. You can try searching for this too. Again let us know if you find it. Hopefully someone else will be able to help more.
Yes, I think I found the solution, I did what it said and now it says SMS/MMS, but I haven't tested it yet. So, I'll see. I just need to know about the camera now. That's the only issue..

You really need to read through a whole ROM thread to understand all this, but there are so many little "Got ya!"s that the pay off is there. The Wiki is also a good place to start.

If you read the details of DCD's stuff you find that the kitchen/rom does not contain anything network specific and you MUST apply the OEMizer tool afterwords. The link to the verizon one is right in the post. That will solve some of your issues.
Also DCD has explained that the updated camera software was ripped from a phone that does not have a flash therefore it is not supported in the software. If you want the flash, you need to downgrade.
Here is the updated link to Arcsoft. Works perfectly. The only defect I see is that incoming MMS show the phone number and the name in your contact. But when you reply as a text it comes back.

don't down grade just reflash a cooked rom with the version 4.05 something camera has a flash
Reflashing ver 4.05 when you'd installed ver 5 IS downgrading in my book

1st - The camera you used is version 5, to have the flash again you will need to re-cook a ROM with version 4.X....
2nd - For the latest MMS, use GC14's 5.0.31.25 cab of Arcsoft. The incoming MMS issue where the phone number is shown instead of your contact has been fixed. Find that cab here MMS 5.0.31.25
Yes, I've already read all of those links many times. I saw the information about the OEMizer. It said it was OPTIONAL. It doesn't really tell me what it is, or what it's for. Since this was the first time I ever installed a new bootloader, radio, rom and VZW cab, and didn't really know what I was doing, I didn't want to make it too complicated and overwelm myself. I still don't know what the OEMizer is, but I guess I can run it and see what happens. I need to make a new ROM anyways for the camera. I still have a few questions.
- What is the OEMizer for and is there someplace that explains it's settings?
- I can't find OEMizer in the Kitchen's Tool directory or any of the other Kitchen's directories. Where is it at? I did a search on the internet and couldn't find it.
- What is PagePool Changer? Is that something I need to use?
- Now I have the latest bootloader and radio installed in my phone already, can I make a new rom via the kitchen and just install it without having to worry about anything else?
- I guess I will still need to run the VZW cab file after I install a new ROM, but that should be it, right? Just those two things?
- I need a free registery editor. It looks like to upgrade to the latest Arcsoft MMS I need to edit the registery since I have an older version of Arcsoft installed right now.
- WM6.1 is grouping all my text messages together, which is great and I love it, but the only problem is sometimes I want to deleate one text message and it seems like you can't and you have to delete all the text messages from the same person. Is that true, or is there a way around it?
Thanks everybody again for all your help!!!

There is no need for any registry changes with my new version of Arcsoft. Uninstall the old one, then install the new one.
To use this, uninstall any version of Arcsoft you may have installed currently. Once it is fully uninstalled, check your registry and make sure there is nothing for Arcsoft under "HKLM\Software." Next, install this cab. Once it is done installing, check your registry under "HKLM\Software\Arcsoft\ArcSoft MMS UA\Config\mm1\WspHeader" and make sure X-VzW-MDN is set correctly with your phone number.

Yeah that was just for testing purposes originally...to make sure the previous one was completely uninstalled, then to make sure the new one installed correctly. It's been verified working though for a while.

I'm glad to see dcd, colonel and etc... are cranking out these new roms like crazy, but after hearing that you have to call verizon for the akey, which i had to do once already and don't feel like doing it again. I'm just wondering if someone has the cab for the new threaded sms that comes in wm6.1. That's all i really want i would just stick with the ported palm version, but i keep sending multiple text to people and no one has figured out how to solve that yet. So if anyone can help please let me know.
Sending multiple messages was narrowed down to closing the app completely before a message was done sending. If you are using something that closes the program instead of minimizing it like x button or spb pp I suggest you set the palm app to be excluded. It solved the multiple message problem for me.
I switched to 6.1 due to the fact that its more responsive and whenever I opened the keyboard right after clicking reply the palm app got confused and for some reason opened the dialer after a few letters were typed. This does not happen with the 6.1 threaded SMS.

You only need to reprogram those settings when u upgrade the radio.
I've flashed many different versions of DCD's roms and the only time my settings were wiped out was when I went from the old radio to the new 3.27 radio.
Correct me if I'm wrong please, but that has been my experience.
Going from 2.0 to 2.1 to 2.2 I've only had to call Verizon for an A-Key once, and it's no big deal, just say you lost it in a hard reset.
I am also interested in a CAB of this, if possible. Not ready to start flashing my phone yet, but a native threaded text messaging application would sure be nice.
DCD, any chance, when you update your ROM with XIP 199 that you put back in the stock voice speed dialer and stock dialer screen (not the HTC?) for Verizon? I know I'm probably asking for too much, but I just cant get used to the plainness of the HTC dialer; and the Cyberon voice speed dial is somewhat unstable when installed from a cab for whatever reason.

come to think of it when i did a hard reset that's when i had to call verizon, but after i flashed to dcd's 1.6 clean rom i didn't have to call. So it must be when the radio gets an upgrade. Now to choose which rom to get 2.1 or 2.2
This thread is dead on, the only remotely nice part of wm6.1 is the threaded sms from microsoft themselves. Has anyone been able to cook it into a 3.16 rom yet?

so why not just flash 6.1? it does run a bit faster imo, that alone is worth the upgrade
Okay. So here is the one issue that I have been having with this particular Rom.
I can receive MMS messages just fine, but I cant send them. When I hit send and receive it says error synchronizing. The crazy thing is that in the progress icon for sending MMS it goes to 100%, however it never leaves my outbox and the other person never gets it.
I changed the settings under server to the correct ones:
Server settings that need to change:
Gateway: "blank"
port: 80
Server address: http://mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms
Sending Size limit: 350k or 400k
Any ideas? This is the only problem I have had so far! btw, like I said in my title, im on VZW. Btw, I know about the Arcsoft Sprint MMS hack, however if possible I would like to use the version on Arcsoft that came with the DCD rom as it has a lot of features the old sprint hack does not. Thx.
-Sayajin
if you are on verizon you dont use the sprint hack, you dont need a hack at all. make sure you did not make any changes before you set up your MMS. i know several people that did some things and thought it was the arcsoft but it was something else they had changed. from scratch, only change the registry (did you make these changes?), the server and the connection. then it should work, almost guaranteed. this is in multiple posts so just search and you will find tons of them.
Sounds like my problem may be that I didint make those registry changes you were referring to. Other than that, the only thing I did was put the correct server in.
What registry modifications do I need to make in order for it to work on VZW?
btw, I wanted to add that I searched and found some threads on this issue and the correct settings for T-Mobile, but i diddnt see one for VZW.
Thanks a lot.

MMS reg
SSJSayajin,
Follow my directions here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=364043&page=30
Use the reg file and edit it......
Thanks a lot man your a Savior! One issue however, I am open the file and modify it with no problem, however I cant import it!
I am using Total Commander as my file explorer and PHM Regedit as my registry editor. When I click the file a "do you want to import this" does not come up. It actually opens up PHM Regedit, however the option to import the file is greyed out.
Any Ideas? This is my last issue! Thx.
*edit*
So I found out the problem, PHM does not allow you to import reg entries. So how do I open up the default reg editor so I can import this? Thx guys.
-Sayajin
I have a problem with the MMS registery hack you posted, I downloaded it, removed .txt, edited my phone number, transfered it to my phone but in file explorer or total commander when I click on it, it gives me a error " there is no application associated with "Verizon MMS settings for Arcosoft 4281" run the application first, then open this file from within the application" I am running DCD 2.2.6 rom,any help? thanks
Well I figured out one issue, as far as importing the reg file, use DotFred's Task Manager. It has a built in reg editor that works perfectly.
But my stuff still doesnt work properly! I imported the reg entry and I know it worked becuase it added more items to my phone, however I have the same problem of being unable to send mms. Does the exact same thing as before with the error of unable to syncronize.
Any ideas? Thx.
-Sayajin
i am testing this now. did a hard reset, imported it and i'll test it out.
that didnt work. I am juust going back to 3.2
i could send but not recieve
1st - Are you guys on Verizon?
2nd - Did you read the entire thread that I linked too.... It has other items you will need to do..... That thread resolved most if not all issues relating to using MMS with Verizon. Now when I put a new ROM on my phone, I have added the registry entries in MY file to the OEMizer and that adds it automatically to the ROM, so I get MMS right away with my new ROM..... Like I am on DCD's 2.3.1 right now, and I have MMS just fine.... Please go back and read that other thread entirely.... It will help guys.....

lol, youre not being an ass. thats what i would say.
what i meant was, there's more to it than just importing the reg file right?
so, i imported the reg file and it had a random character in the gateway field, so i removed that and i can send fine, but i still cant receive. I'll look through that thread more and see whats going on here.
Are you using Arcsoft MMs ver 4.2.81 right?
EDIT: When you download my reg file, it comes with a .txt extension. When you save it, does it's icon change? If not, then it's not being saved as a registry file....

Yea, its version 4.2.81. Also Yes, the registry icon changes once you remove the .txt extension. The file imports just fine, it just doesnt resolve the issue. Also yes, its on Verizon.
While I realize that reading that 60+ page thread will help, unfortunately I would rather not spend 2 hours reading the thread for a solution that someone may know off hand. Now of course if thats not possible I will have to read it, but I was hoping someone would know of a fix?
What else needs to be done in order to be able to send and receive MMS messages in addition to the registry hack that was pointed out?
-Sayajin
yeah, its verizon and i have that version of arcsoft. whast odd is that it was working fine on 2.2.6, on 2.3.1 it isnt. i even used oemizer to setup the registry entries and still... i can send but not recieve.
i am completely stumped
Okay, So I broke down and read about 30 pages of the thread to look for MMS issues. This is what I have found in a summary.
1. Install the Reg file in this post.
2. Delete every other server listed under MMS servers
3. Delete the random character that shows up under Gateway in server settings.
4. Go into the registry and where it says Default as the value for anything, change it to Verizon Wireless.
5. Soft Reset
Thats about everything I got from the post after reading 30+ pages. Still have the same issue....
-Sayajin
FWIW - This is about the only thing I can think of that might help.... Go into your registry and delete the config key under ArcSoft MMS UA.... Then import this reg file, its straight from my 6800 this morning, and I can confirm it works just fine for me..... I zipped it so there is no need to change the extension..... I send and received MMS from myself and from a friends phone he let me use.... I just tested this out.... I also tested my config by changing the sending size and when I upped it, I couldn't send anymore..... So trying to send larger files may mess up your ability to send MMS..... Hopefully this helps..... If the import doesn't solve the issue, then hard reset, imput the reg and test again......
I'm trying to help as much as I can.....
Thx a lot for the assistance man!
One issue, when trying to import the new file it says "error the selected file is not a registry script unable to import" any ideas on that one?
Thx.

I have MMS working on DCD's newest 3.1.2 ROM with the 3.39 Radio as well.
1. I installed the 3.39 Radio using the stock Sprint 3.39 Test ROM.
2. I installed DCD's 3.1.2 ROM using the kitchen with the Arcsoft OEM from DCD's 3.0.4 Kitchen cooked in.
3. I installed the Verizon Customization CAB
4. I added the string X-VzW-MDN with a value of my ten digit phone number to HKLM\Software\Arcsoft\ArcSoft MMS UA\Config\mm1\WspHeader in the registry.
5. I changes the MMS setttings to:
Server settings that need to change:
Gateway: "blank"
port: 80
Server address: http://mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms
Sending Size limit: 300k
Now my MMS works fine.
Hope this helps people since for some reason everyone sort of skirts around this topic.
did u try MMS video? just seeing if yours is working ok. mine was working then it wasnt then it was...
There is a thread SPECIFICALLY for mms on 3.1.x. It was started to stop the crazy amount of posts in the kitchen thread and to thwart against tons of new threads like this. Please, from now on post in that thread to discuss ANYTHING to do with MMS on 3.1.x

You guys do know that there are other people out there on other carriers trying to get MMS working too? That's the reason for the dedicated MMS 3.1.x thread.
Also, you do realize that if you use the verizon carrier cab that I posted, with the MMS settings, and not the new one, that you don't have to go in and change anything in the server settings.
gcincotta maybe I found you. I have falshed my xv6800 w/ dcd 3.1.2 with the 3.39 radio and I installed the verizon cab. Everything is werking fine after the over the air prog. But the OS does not have the personal settings tab, there is no voice command, and there is no slide sounds settings. Can you please advise??? please...

MMS settings are different for each carrier. That's why it doesn't make sense to do your "collective MMS" thread.
Say i have verizon, i need to sort through tons of unrelated crap to find an answer. This thread is short, concise, and it works.
Please stop complaining.... If you have a CAB which does this for us. Than please post it.

This is not complaining, this is common sense. MMS settings are indeed different for each carrier, but if you actually read my posts you'd find that you do NOT have to touch your settings WHATSOEVER as long as you use the carrier cab WITH MMS settings. I do have a cab that does this for you, and if you took a minute to fill out a search box you'd find it ALONG with my instructions on how to make it work. All you have to do is enter your MDN key, which can be done using UC AUTOMATICALLY. As far as I'm concerned, this thread is pointless and clutter, as EVERYTHING stated in it has either already been said, or is moot.
If you search my posts you'll find that I help a LOT of people, and I love doing it, but when ignorance like this is thrown into the mix, it makes it a lot less rewarding.
Halkeye, shoot me a pm and we'll get your situation squared away asap. No reason to continue this thread, especially with off topic stuff.

Well i just did a search "Verizon MMS" it came back with this thread and your other thread and a bunch of useless threads (no i didn't look at every one, if it doesn't have a clear title no one will look at it) none of which have this CAB file your talking about. Regardless These instructions are great for people who have already run the DCD Verizon customizations and don't want to re-flash and then run your customizations. I still think this thread is relevant and again if you have this CAB i think it would still be useful to post it.
I will be posting complete instructions in the other thread along with the cab file.

so i take it you gave the custom roms another shot? did everything work out this time?
im sorry for the troubles you had before, im trying to incorporate something in my next version to prevent vz troubles like you had.
I have zero interest in Sprint Picture Mail. However, the account is sort of "hardwired" into the phone and there is no (official) way to disable it that I can find. It doesn't even show up in the list of accounts under Options in Pocket Outlook.
Does anybody know some sort of tweak to get rid of this account?
This would include...
1. Removing it from "send" options when emailing pictures (album)
2. Account chooser for Pocket Oulook

I have zero interest in Sprint Picture Mail. However, the account is sort of "hardwired" into the phone and there is no (official) way to disable it that I can find. It doesn't even show up in the list of accounts under Options in Pocket Outlook.
Does anybody know some sort of tweak to get rid of this account?
This would include...
1. Removing it from "send" options when emailing pictures (album)
2. Account chooser for Pocket Oulook
3. TF3D icon on the mail tab

I believe its an extra cab that installs after a hard reset. Try hard resetting, and stopping the customization.
If there are any Sprint cabs you want they are floating around here or ppcgeeks.

Well, that's definitely a solution, but I'd rather not have to hard reset my device. I have the settings just the way I like it now.
Does anybody know how to get rid of it after it's already installed?
just stick a peice of black tape over the portion that says picturemail on your phone...

I'd love to know how to dump this as well without a hard reset and manually adding the all the other useful cabs myself.
Thanks for posing the question, now to wait for a good answer....
Try downloading the cab from somewhere, installing it, it will say the previous version has to be removed, after it removes the previous version, hit cancel to not install the new version.
Might be worth a shot, although I don't know why you wouldn't want picture mail, it's not like you have to use it, but why remove features?

That is a good idea. I'll have to try that!
As for why, good question. I don't really know why it bothers me so much. Maybe just because I like less clutter? Maybe it's an OCD type of thing. :-D One of the first things I did was install Advanced Config and remove the sprint music/tv tabs because i didn't want to use them, even though i didn't have to use them. :-D

I'm definitely going to try that! Good idea.
As for why, I don't like the extra account when I got from my text to email accounts BUT the main reason is because it works like POO POO! I hate how it is so damn clunky in it's operation and even though I don't use it to send picmail, if I get a picmail it goes in there.
I applaud Sprint for trying but damn, try a little harder next time. I could have done without this particular crap a$$ feature.
I'm also very interested in dumping Sprint Picture Mail. Since we're limited to six accounts in Pocket Outlook, its being there keeps me from adding in another account I actually use, so it's frustrating that they would add that in by default. Tried deleting all of the registry keys, installed files etc that are done as part of the CAB installer, but it's STILL there! Haven't been able to figure out how to bypass the customization step, otherwise I'd do a HR in a heartbeat and see if skipping the CAB install would work, so still awaiting a solution to this...
i tried but sprint mail was not completely removed , i even installed the other version and it got completely installed and i could not un install it using memaid ! there should be a smarter way toget rid of this sprint B/S.
i don't think it can be removed this way.
you will need to load a custom rom without the picmail.
in the time you have wasted waiting for an easy solution you could have flashed and reloaded all of your settings.
Not everybody wants a to use a cooked ROM. You know, it really gets tiring when know-it-alls pop into threads and instead of contributing something useful just say "you should have just done x,y,z instead of doing what you actually wanted to do." It's already been established earlier in the thread that hard resetting (which running a cooked ROM requires) is not an acceptible solution. I do not appear to be alone in wanting an alternative solution. If you don't have a solution or a constructive comment, can't you just, you know, not post anything?
maan76 - Thanks for trying that method out. I've been too busy to tinker. At some point, I'm going to try scouring the registry and DLLs in \Windows\. Pocket Office is extended just like any other MS app -- through DLLs. So unless Picture Mail has been hardwired through some bizarre method or bundled together with a load of other useful features into one big unremovable DLL, I have got to think that there must be some DLL somewhere that can be unregistered somehow -- it just hasn't been discovered yet. I hope anyway! But you never know...

I echo thx2100 but will say the MAIN reasons I don't want to just run a cooked ROM right now is that the only real advantage at this time is they are light on the apps to free up ram. I come from the 6700 and 6800 and I'm in heaven with the speed and ease that the TP has when running multiple apps.
None of the new ROM's right now really dazzle me but if one comes around that is hot sh$# then I might run it.
With my stock ROM I have no surprises and only one really annoying feature which is the picmail but I can live with.
yep I totally agree thx 200,that there is no need for the cooked ROMs right now for the TP , why I am risking myself in a cooked ROM ?????????? to save RAM nop ! RAM is highhhhhhh and we have plenty of it in tp not like the mogul when the people were racing to build a ROM with higher free RAM after booting ! to save couple megabytes !, now with this strong hardware in TP , we have plenty of RAM .
the other reason which drove us before for flashing ROMs is the new applications (ex Manila for htc 6800 mogul ,u tube......etc) now we ve got the most updated versions of these software in the touch pro.
no logic reason for flashing ROMs at this moment , probably when new software will come up or super tweaks that require flashing ROMs , but definetely not now , we are still new and still learning about the Touch pro.I am seeing junior members building ROMs cause it is easy with this 288 MB RAM , I bet nobody was able to build ROMs for the Apache or the Mogul cause of the limited RAM.
we have a long way in improvement in touch pro before building ROMs.

Using MSCEInfo, I've been able to identify every registry change and file modification made by the Sprint PictureMail CAB and have undone them all to no effect. So, either some other routine is making changes related to PicMail or it's hardcoded into the ROM. Hopefully, it's not the latter...
Good luck and please let us know if you find out how to do it. I've pretty much given up and am just waiting to find a stripped down ROM for the Sprint Touch Pro that doesn't include PictureMail, Touch Guide Mobile or any of the other bloatware that Sprint decided we had to have.
Solution Removal Sprint Picture Mail
I found the solution this morning and I successfully removed the sprint picture mail and I also successfully added my yahoo mail
here what you need to do
1-install the sprint picture mail Cab
2-using resco file explorer or anything else go to windows folder
3-in resco explorer , unclick hide hidden files and unclick hilde file extensions
4-look for sprint picture mail cab , next to it you will find sprint picture mail.exe and some other files cary the same name.
5-this .exe is made by the second installation you just made not ROM related , but still you can not remove it ,for some reason.
so rename it into anything .exe , and do the same for the rest of the files including the cab , not delete them all you should be able to do so .
I did these steps exactly in that order and I opened the messages folder and I was soooo happy not seeing the picture mail account .
Good luck guys

Can you point out which specific cab you installed (was it just the one built into the TP ROM?) and which file(s) you removed to get this to work?
Also, can you confirm that this removed the Sprint PictureMail account from both the Outlook account list AND the Mail TF3D tab???

Well I seem to have completely broke my ability to get picmail so I'll hold back on any instructions. I'll do some more testing and may just have to install the freakn program again.... OR I might load up a bare bones ROM and load cab's I see fit, 1 will undoubtedly NOT make the cut.
Massive thanks to jerpelea (wouldn't have gotten anywhere close without him).
I'm back! This new version is based on the fantastic Insomnia NIKI Kitchen, using WM6.5 Build 21500 and OEM Iolite/mishmash. As I made this version for my personal use, it is FULL of applications - if you don't like applications installed from the start, don't download it!
Warning: This ROM is for testing only and has been prepared by a complete cooking noob (me). I cannot guarantee any results for you or your phone and this may end up screwing things up COMPLETELY . Install at your own risk.
Having said that, it works very well on my NEON200 (Touch Dual 850), much better than any other ROM I have tried and even better than the old 6.1 version.
Make sure you have installed the Neon Hardspl (thanks Olipro) before you even remotely consider installing this.
Known Issues:
- DEVICE ID Reports as NIKI100 (I am still trying to figure out the XIP stuff)
- The camera hardware button does not work
- The camera autofocus doesn't work properly (messed up the some of the files I copied I think) so it takes a few seconds to shoot.
- Hardware keyboard doesn't work properly. It thinks that it is a 16key version.
Anyway, give it a go if you are game and let me know how it goes. It is a hundred times more finger friendly than the WM6.1 ROMs (which is the whole point of the touch phones).
I only do this in my *very* spare time, so I'm sorry in advance if I don't update often. I can say that I am very happy with the ROM as it is (never use the keyboard or camera), so it may be quite while before I update.
Download the new WM6.5 ROM here.
Old version (WM6.1 Build 21109) can be downloaded here if you want it for some reason.
Well done, looks nice. Everything works. Camera is good, text works, after calling t-mobile internet connects. Reception is fine, battery does not get hot. Although, instead of having a box with an x in the middle of it at far right corner, i have just an x. It takes a little more effort closing out of an application. Good job again.

Are you having any other issues? Does the keyboard work 100%?

I was just about to edit my post Keyboard does not work at any time. Also when recieving a voicemail, i tap and trys to connect. But says that phone call cannot be made at this time.
I've had no issues with voicemail...
Have you tried installing the latest Ezinput from the first post? Do you have 20-key device?
Perhapsthe Voicemailis something i need to set up with T-mobile.Yep, got the touch keyboard working with the install No keypad though.
Edit: Yes, camera button does not work.
I'm gonna load it up now and give it a shot.
I can't find the SIP task in task manager to kill it before installing the .cab.
Also can't get online because it is configured for Telestra (I imagine I can fix that easily). The "Setup Connection" app in settings closes immediately. That is how I used to setup my internet/phone provider stuffs.
Edits.
Ok...oddly enough after I updated my internet settings the 'task manager' and a few other apps showed up. That allowed me to kill the SIP and load the keyboard.
Overall this ROM is fast! Very happy with it so far. Can't wait till it is finished.
PS - I can't use my hardware keyboard either. Even with the SIP update. On screen works perfect.
I have NEON300 US version. If I decide to upgrade, can I reset back to factor default? Or is once upgrade, no turning back? I have Build 19209.1.0.2 version now on my phone.

I haven't found a packaged default ROM. You might wanna see if he releases one once he gets this build worked out. I would love to get a copy of your default rom before you upgrade it. I think I lost mine 2 laptops ago. Once you load the HardSPL you can go back, however you need the default ROM to do so. There isn't a backup / restore utility as far as I know.

Voice Mail (T-Mobile)
I havn't been able to figure out how to change the voicemail number from the Telestra default, but if you dial "123" with a T-Mobile sim card, it will send you to your voicemail account. Just a little tip I thought might help.

SMS
I have een having issues with SMS. When I try to send a text, I get an error message saying that my message can not be sent, that I need to subscribe to the service. I flashed back to Seths V2 rom and every thing worked fine. Any ideas?
BTW, don't know if any one needs it, but here is a cab that works great for reconfiguring internet stuff for T-Mobile or AT&T
I Just found this link. Says it is for the Neon 200 US, but my device still says 300. Any how, looks exactly like the Ship Rom as I remember it.

You can change it by editing:
1) Modelname.txt in OEM/OperatorPkg
2) nbhgen.txt in Tools/Htools
I've Changed nbhgen.txt to NEON200 and a different version number, but when I flash it still says NIKI100 and the old version number. I have also changed the CID in OS.nb.payload, still no luck.

Change the name in modelname.txt in oem/operatorpkg
Also change mixupdate_oemversion_100.provxml in same folder.
os.nb.payload content will get overwritten when the ROM is built.
Thanks for mixupdate_oemversion_100.provxml - that has the version info in it (also edited easily via registry). It was missing from my kitchen.
modelname.txt simply has "Touch Dual" (which is OK) in it. That file doesn't let me change NIKI100 to NEON200.
If you check my .nbh in a hex editor it displays "NEON200", yet upon flashing it still displays the device as NIKI100...
