xv6700 running AKU2.2 and no default cabs installed

[Taurus]

I am a freak when it comes to modifying PDAs, I have owned several of the pilot devices (Pilot 1000 and 5000,Palm III, m505) then moved on to HPs (1910,2210, 6515) and the Dell Axim v50.
Now I moved on to the Verizon xv6700 and I am learning the new tricks thanks to this site.
I am going to list the steps and links I have taken and visited in order to have the xv6700 running a modded ROM and fewer to no apps installed from VZW.

1. http://www.zdziarski.com/papers/xv6700.html posted by Firegeek, this site has info on the cab files that are installed after a hard reset of the device, the author has stated that no cabs are need and that is exactly what I have done (not installed any)
2. The nice work done by wikeawake http://rapidshare.com/files/11053626/VZWCustom.rar or now you can also use AKU 3.3
3. All registry hacks are available here http://ppcgeeks.com/wm5-registry-hac...ootscreen.html Thanks to malatesta, I used only the ones I needed you might pick and choose your own reg hacks.


Ok the install:

1. flash wideawake?s custom 2.2
2. after a reset, I followed this step found here http://ppcgeeks.com/how-to-remove-fa...hods-t360.html posted by BIG D5

Once you get through with the device setup (time zone, password, etc.) The device will start to come up. You will get the message 3 secs to software install. As soon as you see this message, press the soft reset key again.

3. After the second reset I did not install any of the cabs found in the extROM, from this point on I had to only setup the dial-in server which is:
Setup EVDO connection dialup modem.

Phone number is #777, username is XXXXXXXXXX@vzw3g.com, password is vzw (X?s are your wireless phone number)

4. After this I setup my usual stuff (activesync, apps, and personal settings) I no longer have the verizon Wireless sync software, taskmanager, and a few others which I never used, and memory was Storage= 44MB and Program=50MB
5. I have noticed that AKU3.3 is now available and will be trying it next, hope this info is of use to someone and again thanks to everyone that helped me out.

Doing it tonight, still working now and hate to be interrupted.

actually you dont need the user name in password in the vzw 6700. Wanna know why?


## PST Talk = is where your username and pass are stored.

U can completely leave it blank.

You really dont need anything to get the vzw stuff going.

you are correct exchange push makes our lives easier although you may run into some issues with your vzw 6700 and 3.3. You have to work out the kinks.

LMK if you need help.
