Thanks, Nightraven...I'm trying it right now...

Btw, if there are going to be several of these, is there a way to backup the programs I have installed, update the ROM, and then restore my programs or is it better to install all programs fresh?

There will be more. I know it's a pain. However, I want to get voicecommand, WLM in the rom. I also want AutoUpdate(windows update), and managed programs back in the rom, and working.

I keep hearing about sprite backup. I have never used it.

Please post your expiriences with the ROMs. The more input the better....

Are you using Sprite Backup to restore? Which choices are you selecting to backup (system, pim, etc)?

My first impressions:

install - no issues
phone and bluetooth - no issues
app compatibility - no issues
evdo - no issues
activesync with mobile2web - no issues
o/s speed - faster compared to build 20273

So far so good for me as well...

Windows Live Messenger works when installed from cab. Let's see if it will work embedded. I'm also adding voice command. Also changing the help shortcut. I orginally copied it from the start menu, however that causes an issue with removing it using the menu control panel. To fix this, I am going to move it from the start menu to programs. That way it can still be added to the start menu using the menu control panel if desired. Still looking for a working autoupdate sys and managed programs, for this build...

I am going to publish this ROM has beta 2. This time I'll actually load this rom, before I publish.

Here it is.

Why don't they give people the option of deleting one of there own posts?

NightRaven · Oct 5, 2008

Windows Live Messenger still does not work when embedded in the rom. I'm going to remove it and just make people install it manually.

Voice Command seems to work correctly.

I'm going to republish Beta 2 without Windows Live Messenger. I'll post the cab file for it along with the rom.

Beta 2 link is temporarily broken, while I upload to new file.

ok... i will stop downloading the first beta 2 and wait for the update... there are syncing issues with that live messenger build, nothing serious though... it does not work if you set the sync frequency to "as items arrive". that is why i posted the link to the latest non messenger version a few days ago

What I don't understand is why it works outside of the rom. I used the cab file to create the sys package. It should work the same...

Beta 2 has been re-uploaded.

isnt messenger part of the o/s to begin with and wouldnt that be causing a conflict?

did you try the now messenger version from the link i posted? i know the 800w has a non messenger version built into the rom.

It was in 19202, but it didn't work there either. So, I removed it from this build.
