I've read a lot of useful information while browsing these forums, but I have yet to contribute anything. Well, spent some time doing a break down of what each of the CAB files in the Extended ROM for Verizon's XV6700 does. I haven't found anything in the forums that go into the XV6700's file too much.

Hope ya find this information useful.

Nice work. Thanks. Looks like maybe that wireless sync app can be deleted (for me), but not much else.

Nice work. Thanks for taking the time.

would you mind detailing what the following mean:

# Disables Call Forwarding user settings
# Disables Call Waiting user settings
# Disables SMS user settings
# Disables BC SMS user settings

I saw these registry entries the other day and considered messing with them, but I wasn't home to back up my files in case i broke something. Just wondering what settings might be unlocked by enabling them. Anything useful?

In the phone dialer app, when you click on Menu > Options... > Services tab.

The items listed are what that references.
Unaltered that list includes Call Forwarding, Call Waiting, SMS, BC SMS. With those items exposed you're able to change certain values to your personal taste. Like totally disabling Call Waiting if you wanted. Or setting up your Call Fowarding w/o having to dial Verizon's special numbers. etc.

thats actually kind of what i figured, although I wasn't sure where some of the unlocked options would appear (Services tab, versus elsewhere). thanks for clarifying something that was actually pretty self explanatory. some folks would definitely have had a smart ass reply.

thanks, going to explore now.

None of this is listed under my services tab. Mine has only location setting, Voice Privacy, Network Service, TTY Mode, Time Sync, and alert. Why would mine be different?

You don't see them because Verizon has hidden them. The different cab files in the extended ROM that Big_Rich has decomposed for us, customizes these options and then hide them. Thats why you don't see them.

What is Verizon hiding from us by not showing these options. Why would I benefit from having access to these?

also, Big Rich Says "unaltered" that lists includes..., so I thought that meant "from the factory"

After editting the registry to enabling these services, I looked at what I could customize. The only useful one I found was being able to set up call forwarding. The SMS service only allowed me to change the SMS callback number, which i believe is configurable elsewhere as well. The BC SMS service only has an option to and enable/disable BC SMS. Similarly, the Call Waiting service only allows for enabling/disabling call waiting notification. I chose to go back to hiding them all except for call forwarding. If you didn't miss these options when you didn't know they were hidden, chances are you probably don't need to enable them now that you know can be made visible.

sorry my question hijacked your thread Big_Rich.
