My test results: Snappier, BT issues

Mike-

Thanks for making this custom ROM available. I just installed it this AM, and it looks great (Crossbow is awesome).

I have installed TodayAgenda and TodayTime so far. Will be installing more over time.

Observations that have come up thus far in the process include:
1. MUCH faster response (I have another PPC6700 that has the Sprint ROM (latest) installed, and side-by-side response is definitely faster with this latest custom ROM);
2. BT connection not as easy to make (when I first tried to connect to my mac powerbook g4 via BT, I had some interface issues; these went away on my second try, and all was good in connection land);
3. Tethering via BT does NOT automatically disconnect after 6-8 minutes (historically with prior ROM, my mac BT tethering had automatically disconnected after 6-8 minutes of being connected; with this custom ROM AKU 2.2, I was able to stay connected for 18+ min (I disconnected after that), was able to download a few files for my PPC, and showed pretty good speeds for BT (178kbps down, 88kbps up) for having a 0-1 bar EVDO connection)

I will report more as I observe more. Also, Mike, I shot you a PM showing you an old link (from pdaphonehome) how to do a portable extended ROM, in the hopes of seeing if it was adaptable to make the custom ROM fully customizable by the end user; please let me know if you want/need some assistance in that adaptation process.

Thanks again for great work here.
