I am VERY impressed with all the custom ROMs I see here, and the number of people doing them. Software done the way it should be done - passionate people sharing their work.

If I were to do one, my 'dream ROM' would be kitchen-based, 3.5, VERY modular, with a library of packages. I'd like a clean package that I can customize. I'd prefer not to have one that has every freeware app but the kitchen sink (pun partly intentional) in it.

Helmi has done an outstanding job with 3.3 without even having the hardware!

If someone would like to coordinate a collection and buy Helmi a 6700 to give us a working 3.5 kitchen, I'll kick in the first $100 via PayPal.

(If I've 'broken protocol' or somehow offended anyone with this post, it's unintentional, and I apologize in advance.)

hey, thanks willysp, for the idea... My intention is never money oriented... but thanks for the idea... really appreciate it... thanks

Nice to hv other device to mess up with, but I'll keep try to help others who need my help even without the device with me...

for AKU3.5 try to remove some of apache service, drivers, extra function etc..

Like some of this extra function services, for example:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\RPS]
  "Dll"="RadioPresentService.dll"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\Power]
  "Dll"="Power_Service.dll"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\PhoneExt]
  "Dll"="PhoneExt_Service.dll"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\PhoneExt\KeyProgram]
  "Prog3"="EPST.exe ##775"
  "Key3"="#775"
  "Prog2"="DMRouter.exe"
  "Key2"="#3424"
  "Key1"="#33284"
  "Prog1"="FieldTrial.exe"
  "Key0"="#778"
  "Prog0"="EPST.exe ##778"
  "Prefix"="#"

u might leave everything to just OS service only,or remove some device extra startup app (initflashfiles.dat) like:

Directory("\Windows\StartUp"):-File("bugtrap.lnk","\Windows\bugtrap.lnk");
Directory("\Windows\StartUp"):-File("sddaemon.lnk","\Windows\sddaemon.lnk")
Directory("\Windows\StartUp"):-File("ChgDfLnk.lnk","\Windows\ChgDfLnk.lnk")
Directory("\Windows\StartUp"):-File("Usbcnect.lnk","\Windows\Usbcnect.lnk")

or some extra registry key/function like:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{D5DA6C41-D942-4a15-A857-70A5F569B64D}\InProcServer32]
  @="PicturesExt.dll"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{2C51FDE9-39A0-4df7-8C59-9A41EE060497}\InProcServer32]
  @="PhoneSetting.dll"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{AA9E7E86-002E-41fc-B53F-F4EA5D7DECBB}]
  @="Phone Menu Plugin"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{AA9E7E86-002E-41fc-B53F-F4EA5D7DECBB}\InprocServer32]
  @="PhoneMenu.dll"

etc...or anything extras like that, cos the problem is exist after the device boot... so some extra app or oem or service maybe incompatible with the new os.. we just need to check them one by one...

or for developer who use my kitchen? maybe U simple try temporary remove some OEM extra folder like:

EPST.exe
FieldTrial.exe
Generic_6_0_2_x_8_CDMA_noMMS
CyberonVDD
DMRouter.exe
IntelliPad
Camera
ButtonSetting.dll
OEM_Misc.dll
OEMExtDLL.dll
PhoneExt_Service.dll
PhoneMenu.dll
PhoneSetting.dll
PicturesExt.dll
RadioPresentService.dll
ScreenRotate_Service.dll
SMSRetry.exe
SmartDial
HTC_SMS_Providers.dll
and remove all DSM folder

and try to built the rom ( only Windows & Core Driver will be available,with the above removed oem pack) does the AKU3.5 will work or not. if work, reverse the procces by simply added the removed OEM pack back to OEM folder... hopes we'll find the problem...

Great info here, Thanks! Keep'm coming.

I've been working on this AKU 3.5 and have it down to about one file and it's associated reg entries causing the problems. If they are included it locks up all the time and if they are not included the USB doesn't work (activesync or file transfer). This part will take more detailed troubleshooting i think, but i'm working on it and will get it posted as a custom kitchen once it's all ready.

[finster869]

Are you sure those files are related to the USB issue?

[ImCoKeMaN]

yup =)

Quick ?, Is helmi_c really overseas and if so would he need the MSL for a 6700? I've been looking at a couple ebay auctions for lost (really stolen lol) 6700's that are selling pretty low.


I was actually able to get a 6700 from ebay that was reported lost and ended up checking the phones owner info and found the orginal owners number, called him told him (fingers was crossed that he replaced the phone and had the same number) how I got his phone along with proof of the auction. He then went into Sprint and cleared the phone for me to activate! All for about $180.
