I've made an empty extended rom for the apache for those who have a use for it. After flashing this you will have an empty extended rom. It persists through a hard reset so you don't have to delete your carrier's files everytime.
If you want it, download it here, unzip it, and when you flash your next rom to your apache, put the file in the same folder as the rom you're flashing and you'll have an empty extended rom after you flash.
You can flash this with a rom or by itself. The RUU utility we use to flash roms to the apache can flash the extended rom by itself too.
This won't be helpful for everyone as some people use the carrier customizations on their extended rom.
This download is is for people who don't use their extended rom from their carrier and just want extra storage without having to manually delete everything everytime you hard reset.
