Are you referring to my post about RSSI_Icons.dll? If so, then no it doesn't have anything to do with the extrom. It's all contained in the CE ROM for the Apache.

What probably happened is that Sprint was the first to give specs for the PPC6700 (just as it was for the PPC6600 before it). So in building the CE ROM for the Apache, HTC created the RSSI_Icons.dll functionality and it remained in all subsequent ROMs built for the Apache. In other words, Sprint required it, but all the other carriers got to use it too. It was the same situation (but a different fix implementation) for the 6600.

As for why it is broken in AKU 3? I think that has something to do with a change MS made between AKU 2 and 3 that no longer allows RSSI_Icons.dll to hook in properly. That's my guess, anyway.
