If you don't want to hard reset, you could try the second method found in this thread:

The link pointing to Total Commander is dead. Use this link instead:

You should be able to remove the junk you installed when you let the carrier customizations run.

If you don't mind hard resetting, just hard reset and then soft reset as soon as you see the "Customizing in 3...2...1" prompt. That will prevent the extended ROM cabs from running.

For any of the recent (1 year?) kitchens, once you let the carrier customizations run, you really need to do a hard reset and start over as the customizations load older, buggy drivers.

That makes sense. I was thinking of the early days, back when one could remove the preinstalled crap by using Total Commander. Thanks for pointing that out

Thanks for the advice. I am pretty new to this. How do I unlock my ext rom & delete everything in it?

It will be a new icon in Start/Programs. Tap the icon. Tap OK when prompted. Voila! Use file explorer and delete EVERYTHING in the ext rom, and you'll have a "bonus" storage area!

Ok, that helped a lot! My 6700 is running super smooth now. No Sprint customisations ran after the extended rom was erased.

Major thanks to guitardoc64, gguruusa & of course helmi_c!

So, I've started having the issue with using the keyboard that I thought I read other's were having a problem with. When typing, several letters will be missed. I think it's the autotext popup. It seems to lag a bit. Can anyone else confirm this?

Same thing for me. It is very difficult to type an email.

I've noticed a lag if I immediately start typing once I extend the keyboard. If I give it a few seconds before I start typing, all seems well.

Most definitely can confirm this too. Even waiting a few seconds after opening the slide-out keyboard, it lags and misses a LOT of letters I type.

I never noticed this before on an AKU 3.5 ROM - I think it's the word prediction because it seems to not just suggest single words as you're typing, but often the next word based on what you've typed.
