Ok was going to post a rom, then didn't as I added all my registered and comercial stuff to my rom. But the rom works and works well and thought I would go ahead and replace the registered bits with the trial apps and post it back on here. If you like the apps register them. I have found them VERY useful! Sorry I had to do all the trial stuff, but I couldn't post reg apps, but when these are used together this rom really shines.
This is a hybrid of AKU 3.3, 3.5 and WM6. Current Version R3
Things of intrest:
- WM6 RDP client
- 3.5's util apps (incuding the new features in wireless lan)
- WM6 sounds
- WM6 splash and theme
- *MS Voice command integrated (exe missing, see below)
- SPB imageer (trial)
- RAR
- tetris clone game
- pNotepad
- vjcandelite
- Wisebar (trial) task management and start menu addon <-NICE!!
- XCPUscaler (trial) Can not scale in trial, but scaling is the way to go.
- new fonts
- new today tsk themes
-new alarms
- .net cf2
- tcpmp .072rc1 w/ac3 (last free version)(added from r2)
- clear temp app (added from r2)
- additional AKU 3.5 systems files (GWES, ie files, coldinit, etc)(added from r2)
- wmodem (fixed from r2)
- Excel and ppt (added from r2)
- Pimg and Outlook read/send (fixed from r2)
Everything is set to load at start that needs to be running (with the exception of *voice command, see below). So Wisbar and xcpu will load at start and use the settings I found to work well.
I removed everything that I felt was junk wich includes the MSN apps, help files, doc templates, sample images, and other non-useful junk (at least junk to me). There was a lot removed.
*NOTE: Voice command had the EXE removed as this is comercial software. All you need to do is copy your EXE in to the windows dir and create a shortcut to the startup folder and it will be functional and mapped to button #5.
There are a number of reg tweaks and most of the apps are compressed to save room. This should make for a good out of the box experience as (other than reg trialware) it is a good working package.
Should install to less than 2.5 meg of user storage.
Ok that being said, let me know what you find as I have been testing with the reg apps. And we all know nothing is perfect
To install, unzip the package. Place your device in boot loader mode and run the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe to get the install going. Do a hard reset after teh update conculdes. (both soft buttons held while re-setting, not what is depicted in the app). Also set the date and time on the welcome screen. Not sure but the trials may expire when you later update the date/time.

Earlier builds and patches:

Patch for r2. Fixes:
-
Fixes Pimag.exe so it will load and reverts defaults back to it. (If you like spbimageer you can re-associate it by setting file types in options, I never saw an issue with it as the default but know not everyone will use it and why I reset the origianl config)
-
Fixes pOutlook so you can now read, create, edit, etc. Should be back to full functions.
- moves iexplorer cache/temp back to main memory (prevents DOD issue)

Patch for r2 to get Power point and Excel apps back. These will install to storage memory and will take up about 3 meg of space so I would not recoment this unless you need them. This will be intirgated into the nect release (r3) and will not take storage space at that point.
