So here is my day long adventure with this awesome update.

Suggestion - incorporate a hack published earlier and make \Windows\PhoneOff.wav a copy of PhoneOn.wav - this will save .75 MB of Storage!
I agree here... That was my first change.

Anyone had luck with 2.2 and Exchange server? I have got some time this morning and gonna' give this a try.
This has been working fine for my with Push Mail active. Everything synced like a charm.

Another question... Mike, how does the custom ROM that you did play with the new AKU? If I take the existing custom ROM that I am using now and follow the same steps to install it after doing the AKU, will it overwrite (break) anything with the new update?
Ahhh... My custom rom stayed (downside was I'm still testing it). So not sure what was supposed to happen here. Mike?

Is anybody else running VC 1.6 with this ROM? The checkboxes to announce incoming calls is gone. As a matter of fact, the only checkbox under the voice command options is "announce calendar reminders"
Yep... Works greate... I get all the announcements just fine. Not 100% sure about call announcments though. I also use CallId v1.6 for the Audio Gateway option.

Does anyone have a problem with getting voice command to announce caller ID?
Not sure on this one becuase of what I said above. Check out http://www.ppcgeeks.com/transfer-cal...set-t1559.html. I use this just for the Audio Gateway. But i know call announcements are played as well.

Other then that I applied a couple registry tweaks (same as an earlier post) and this thing screams now.

Apps Installed:
MS Voice Command v1.6
MS Windows Live Search Beta v1.0.2515
SPB Pocket Plus v3.1
BatteryStatus Beta1 v0.03.300 Build 153
phoneAlarm v1.58
Marsware Weatherpanel v2.5
LVMTime v0.1.9
Verichat v1.42b
btCrawler v1.03
CallID v1.06
Egress v3.1.0
MemMaid v1.72
Navizon v2.2.0
Pocket RAR v3.60
PocketXpdf v0.5
UPX4PPC v0.4
WM5torage v1.73
New Menu for Windows Mobile 5 v2.0.2
Yahoo! Go Build 293

I think that is everything. I'm testing some new registry tweaks, but I won't have any results till after the weekend though.

Tweaks are:
1. Removing Voice Speed Dial Reg keys
2. Adding MIME types to attempt to get PIE to not download images, but display them
3. Default configuration of some of the installed apps listed above (such as file associations).

Oh... The Crossbow theme rocks... But it isn't compatible with SPC Pocket Plus. The taskmanager dropdown is a white background with white text. Oh well... It's worth it.

Other sugestions...
1. Remove Voice Speed Dial from the rom (make a CAB if possible for those who may use it)
2. UPX anything possible
3. Pre-Install the Reg patches posted earlier (on page 3 i think).
4. Strip and CAB any applications not nessisary (for space and personal configs, we can customize the extended ROM afterward).
5. Pre-Install CF v2.0 (yeah I know you're working on that one)
6. Pre-Install Widcomm BT Stack (haven't found anything bad about it. I might test it this weeked on this ROM just to make sure).
6a. Rip anything not needed from the MS BT stack if the WidComm can be fully intergrated.

Hope the wish list isn't too long.
