S.D.
I've been using the following method to reliably install apps with the right features/button mappings.

I edited the jad files we were using earlier, and changed the URL to just...

Make sure email syncing is disabled?

Also, try it a few times. My first couple of syncs failed, but it eventually sync'd fine.

Follow this guide. The guide's for windows mobile, so adjust for the tm506 as necessary.

Yup, it can be done. I use the Exchange ActiveSync method instead of SyncML so it synchronizes the calendar as well.

See this thread for a more convenient install method.

You need to download the zip file from post 1. It contains the .jad file that sets up the keys correctly.

The link in post 3 only downloads the .jar file which seems to be generic for any device.

Looked over the .jad file many times and I just can't see anything wrong with it.

I guess we'll have to wait for more people to try it and give feedback.

Hmm... I tried it again on mine and it installed fine.

Use the default web browser, not operamini, and see if you can get to this URL.

Not sure if someone else had already figured this out, but here's how I got gmail working with the proper key functions. You won't have to use the '5' key to read messages anymore, although you still...

Another plus for this firmware:
I can copy files from my Mac to the phone via USB now. Used to have to do it via bluetooth.

Thanks for this easy to follow guide. I've flashed my phone and finally the GPS is useful.

Spent some time removing all the unnecessary apps and games after figuring out the phone's file system....

My phone is not unlocked.

If I use the Cin Bell firmware from SEUS or DaVinci, will my phone still work with my T-Mobile SIM?

Did you replace <info> with Scottish Skyeandce's data from post #8?

There's a direct link in this thread

that works.

There are some quirks but it does work.

And it doesn't use text messages.

Same here. USB transfers don't work. Not even from the Terminal.

"Invalid app" error for gmail and maps is an annoying issue that hasn't been fully addressed by google. There are workarounds to get these apps on your phone.
The last few pages of...

I failed to mention that the folder was on the memory card, so it wasn't that hard to find.

I just got my cable and checked it out. Unfortunately, the files are not plain text, so I can't simply...

I was browsing the phone's filesystem (through bluetooth) and came across the /System/ams/ folder which contained the .jad and .jar files. Can't copy via bluetooth cause the phone complains that it's...

As far as I can tell, it doesn't matter where the .jar is installed to. I've tried 1.5 on both and it worked.

From my limited experience with .jad files, it seems like it's a dynamic file that...

When I used the 'download to PC then transfer to phone' method I discovered earlier, I had the issues that you did (center button shows menu, so can't read message, etc). At some point in time, after...

This "invalid app" issue is annoying. I was able to get 1.5.x without any problems. Today, I tried getting the new 2.0.6 client, but I keep getting the "invalid app" error message again.

I have R3CA033 too. This is so bizarre. Last week, I tried downloading it with Opera mini and the built in browser from m.google.com and gmail.com/app. All gave me the 'Invalid app' error.

Today,...

Yeah, looks like I can't read a message or select a recipient too.

I have a feeling that the .jad file has some control over the .jar file. I dunno what connection the 2 have with each other...

Guess I solved my own problem.

To get past the "invalid application" issue, I used the Opera browser to download the .jad file, then a text editor to get the .jar's URL, then download the .jar...

I'm also getting "Invalid Application". Tried it through Opera and the built-in browser.

Any help is appreciated.
