Here's a quick summary response to most of the issues i'm seeing in the thread (if i missed one sorry, you can post it again and yell at me if ya like
)
Adding MSN: I will not by including this in my revision of the kitchen as i'm trying to keep mine as a baseline/tutorial still. However if you want MSN all you need to do is copy the MSN1-3 folders to the OEM directory before building. I added them to a zip file on the ftp at:
ftp://up.ppcgeeks.com/Apache/ImCoKeMaN/MSN.zip
No USB support: I know about this one and this is my sole focus right now. USB does not connect with the PC (except in bootloader). This means activesync does not work for your contacts. In the meantime you can sync to mail2web before upgrading and then you will be able to get your contacts after you flash AKU 3.5 since wireless sync does work. For file transfer i use a usb adapter for the mini sdcard as a workaround now also.
Timesync: Yes i've gone through this too. I'm not working on EXT_ROM type stuff yet, but this can be fixed under settings ->phone -> services -> Time Synchronization. Just make sure to check the checkbox and hit update now. Watch the clock it should be accurate, but you can hit it again if it didn't take.
Hmm i guess i should post this in the first post too. editing time...
