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 (http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=24656) 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.

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. ;)

Negative on GPS.

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.

In the previously mentioned PPCGeeks thread, vetvito has extracted those alltel apps and customisations and are available for download (http://rapidshare.com/files/109643937/allTellEX.rar). 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.

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.

Has anyone been successful getting the working arcsoft into oem form to cook into DCD's kitchen? I know I have had this version of arcsoft installed before on the phone, but it never worked until know. So what in the settings have changed? If I could have this working version of arcsoft cooked into DCD's 3.04, I would run with it.

I had mms with the arcsoft (3.x something if not mistaken) in 3.0.1 working by installing lennys cab. Same with 3.0.4 if you dont select 5.x something arcsoft in the kitchen, just have to install lennys cab after loading rom and it will work. If you dont select the arcsoft 5.x in the kitchen i quess it just loads the 3.x version.

I have tried Lennyscab with varying results. My main thing, even with Lennyscab, was that upon receiving a video from a non-6800 phone would try and send me to the axxessmypics stuff. Anyone else get that? With the official ROM, I had someone send me two videos, the first one came through fine, but the second tried that axxessmypics link again. I think the second was over the 300K limit, but for the life of me I can't increase the size anywhere.

I guess I will retry DCD's 3.04 and Lenny's cab, and see if it works.

OK, I have finally found the answer I was looking for. For any video with a size of 300K and below, it will come through fine. For any video 300K or above, it sends you a link to the axxessmypics page instead of the video. This is on Alltel, and since my friend who has been my MMS test sender is on Sprint, I think they allow 600K. This has been causing my problem.

So, anyone up for trying to increase the MMS size Alltel allows? :D
