Just a tip for anyone that reads the whole thread before installing the new ROM for Sprint Apaches, unlike Jeff's first clean & simple 3.5 pre-release ROM, this one wipes out eveything in the Extended ROM (not just the .CAB files, but also program previously installed there) - I guess because the .CAB files are no longer needed as they are built into the ROM.

My problem is that I don't remember what programs I installed to the Extended ROM versus main memory - oh well - at least the new Sprint Backup orgram works so I did not have to reinstall everything else. Eventually I will figure out what was isntalled there when they don't work.

So if you plan to restore from the clever new Sprint Backup designed to account for changes/upgrades in the ROMS, rather than reinstalling, you should make a backup of the programs installed to the Extended ROM.

However, having to reinstall a few programs is a small price to pay for such a fantastic new ROM - Thanks, Jeff!

On another issue - the soft key assignments to "Web" and "Running Programs" rather than Contacts" and "Messaging", I have not tried the registry fixes described above, but Tweak UI also allows you to change the soft key assignments.
