YACR - Kirvin's Custom AKU 3.3

[Jeff Kirvin]

Ah, now I remember why I quit programming...

I've posted my own ROM to the FTP site, under the folder "Kirvin". It's a 3.3 build with a custom EXT ROM that gives me my full loadout and nothing else after a hard reset. The only thing it's missing is the Think Outside BT keyboard driver, and that's only because the OEM for that doesn't quite work yet.

Why 3.3? Because it works. Still too many compromises with 3.5.

Out:
MSN (all of it)
CyberonVDD (if you want voice dial, install it yourself)
ClearStorage
IA_Zip
SMSRetry
Intellipad (the useless T9 SIP)
Transcriber (really? on a 2.8" screen?)

In:
.NET CF 2
Helmi's tweaks (without which we'd all be watching TV instead of building ROMs... Cheers, Helmi!)
Internet Sharing
Sprint Extended ROM mods (you don't need the Sprint Extended ROM, it's all preinstalled)
A2DP
WM5torage 1.7.3
Windows Live Search
Total Commander 2.5, which has better softbutton support than the 2.0 everyone else is using
Pocket XPDF
The actual Sprint bootscreen, so as not to raise suspicion if you need to get it serviced.

But wait, that's not all!

The custom EXT_ROM I'm including also automatically installs:
Spb Mobile Shell
SK Tools
eReader
Pocket Player
Audible Air
Handyshopper
TodayTime

Of course, all the commercial software installed by the EXT_ROM is completely removable.

This was built for me as my ideal ROM and I only post it in case other Sprint users with similar needs might find it useful. Since the Sprint customizations are baked right in, it's pretty much useless to anyone else. That said, I've provided the ROM, the Kitchen I used and there's an installer in the Installers directory if you're really lazy.
