Thanks for the suggestions guys! Keep them coming.
I myself was going for the clean rom also. Just basics in the main and other apps in the extrom so that the end user has the option to remove from there.
I have found I can upx some exes but the dlls seem to be a no go or the ones I did complete crapped out my ppc. But ppt.exe alone saves a lot! 2.2mb->617kb or something like that. :P I'm still searching for other things to upx. And as for a tutorial.....sure you know I will with all the tools ya need
BUT it won't be until I finish my work here. :P ok? I mean what I could tell you could have u building a custom ROM in no time but it took me a LONG time to learn and track down what was needed, what worked and what didn't since it appears noone really had ever done much on the apache. And it just got a section over there not that long ago. But I done it. Will I be the first to create a custom ROM for apaches? I dunno maybe.
Learned it all thanks to xda!
And Paul afterwards if u wanna team up or anyone else we can work together on AKU 3.5 just let me know.

PS That's no typo either not aku 3.3 or 3.2....3.5! :P
