Custom AKU2.2 Beta 1.0 Testers NEEDED!

**Wideawake** · #1 (**permalink**) 12-18-2006, 09:07 AM

So I worked hard last night "burning the midnight oil" as one of my teachers use to say.

I currently need Beta testers to help with testing. Below you will find the Beta link, BUT it is locked and you WILL need a password from me to extract and install. The reason Im doing this is, I dont want a Beta out there floating around when I should have a finally build soon.

All I need is some people who are willing to hard reset! And install apps they were running like before, NO BACKUPS, only fresh installs. This way if there are issues we can track them down and I can try and figure them out. If you feel that you wanna be a beta tester and are up for it, then please PM me for the rar password.

Below are so things done (mostly behind the scenes

) And if you get try this please report ANY issues to this thread.

I also have been running it now for a few hours with no issues as of yet. :P
Thanks,
Mike

Note: .NET CF 2.0 was removed because of issues, once fixed the download will be updated.

Features:
- A2DP built-in!
- HTC X Task Manager. (go to start/settings/system to enable)
- ApacheHax NO longer needed, registry pre-tweaked.
- Maximum number of connections tweak.
- No more dinging when volume is changed in call.
- Ligthen by removing un-needed files. (Saves about .5MB)
- UPX'd a few system files. (Saves about 5MB)
- Went from Telecom to Alltel base OS, so bootscreen now says Alltel.
(Looks better imho :P )

Known Issues:
- Video mail gives a unknown file format error.
- Today Screen Plugins dont always load after soft reset.

Beta has been released, it DOES NOT contain .NET CF 2.0 right now, but Im working on it, and another beta will be released soon to fix this and maybe any bugs/errors found.

Thanks,
Mike

you have to have the 6700 in bootloader mode (hold down power button, notes button, then soft reset)

Cool! Will get in installed in a couple hours and post back.
Edit: just thought of a new feature request

- if the extended rom does still have a lot of dead space in it, it might be handy to have it unlocked (maybe still hidden, but unlocked - ie, read-writeable)

* get congrats screen
* cold boot ppc, see alltel screen (Yay!)

** Post upgrade
During boot - Notification Error cannot start tmail
Sprint Stuff runs & installs away (including all junkware it seems)

Memory: 49.20/33.57 free
Phone Device info:

Check phone call - ok

Feedback:
Odd! All internal memory NOT wiped, contacts still there, apps still there

installed junkware, retained all installed apps & contacts, but seems to have wiped registry so re-install of apps needed

latest PRL also retained

does seem to be aku 2.2 at least

Feedback
* wipe memory before install?
* Get rid of the junkware!
* fix the "Notification Error cannot start tmail" error (or that could just be me?)

* Installer worked fine, phone works fine post-update. Now to re-install everything, check my reg hacks, and run with it for a while

Followup

- must re-select usb serial mode for activesync
- re-installed apps, that got rid of the "Notification Error cannot start tmail" error on reboots
- getting 'shell error' when tapping close with inclose installed, maybe a conflict there
- shell error seems to have gone away with more re-installs

shettj
as mike stated please install custom rom after a hard reset. so errors can be found with fresh install.
