How did you avoid installing the Sprint cabs? Did you unhide and unlock the Extended Rom? If you want, zip and upload the Alltel Extended rom to rapid share or somewhere and I can package it with the Rom. Plus I would have it ready for the next release.

To other users on different carriers, if you can do the same thing so I can get all of the extended roms, I can then package carrier specific upgrades with carrier extended roms to make things easier.

I don't get how Rom Kitchen works? It looks very complicated. Could someone please explain a bit.

Thanx

Hey, i see that my data connection stays on all the time.....i can's stop it...

Wow... I wish I hadn't been so busy with work in the last month... there've been some serious developments on the Apache front! Congrats and thanks to Helmi, wide awake, colonel (hey buddy!) and alll the others who have helped test thus far.

I've been purring along with 2.2 but I've got some time this weekend so I may get started in the kitchen (heh, the the figurative one). I agree that the kitchen is definitely the way to go because everyone's got their own idea of what the "perfect" ROM is. But working together we can save time by not duplicating each others' efforts.

Anyway, I hope to be able to spend more time over here (which seems to be a great place with most of the brain trust for the Apache).

Thanks again for all the hard work guys! I'll pitch in and do my share in the kitchen (just don't make me wash dishes!) :)

same issues here I have ppcgeeks as home page and set it to load in one collum mode and just about everytime pie opens up it freezes.....so I dunno I hadn't tried the other 3.3 rom

Just go to http://www.utstarcom.com/pcd/downloads/ The files starting with APA are for the Apache, just look at the second word to determine the carrier (BM for Bell Mobility) and then at the dates and/or version number to determine the latest. You can extract the EXE file using WinRAR or 7-zip and just copy the ExtROM nbf. Hope this helps.

Colonel,

I unlocked and unhid the sprint ext rom. I deleted it and copied my alltel ext rom from my storage card. Installed it and all seems fine. The apache unlocker from xda developers seemed to work. Thx for your reply though. Oh and thx for all of the work you put into this. It seems faster than the vanilla 3.3 rom i prev had installed. Last, IE does not work on this install as others have reported.

How come my battery is draining about 25% faster than it used to with this Rom?

Not exactly sure. I did put in some performance hacks (basically the same as ApacheHax). The Glyphcache might be cranked up (use PPC-6700 app to check). Other than that I can't think of anything I did that would cause battery consumption.

As far as the Rom Kitchen stuff, I kinda glanced over it, but haven't really gotten into it. I am finally comfortable with Mike's process. I will look at it soon enough.

did u find out why pocketie is having problems????
