Clean and simple AKU 3.5 for the Sprint Apache

[Wargazm]

11. Go ahead and start reinstalling all the stuff you use for your standard loadout, putting everything but device drivers, stuff that sets alarms and Today screen plugins in Extended_ROM2. You should have well over 25MB of main storage memory still free when you're done, a pretty mean feat for an Apache! Oh, and don’t restore from a full system backup as you’ll end up restoring pre-3.5 system files.

Can I get a little more elaboration on this? I'm a little confused on what exactly needs to be done here. do i copy cabs to the Extended_ROM2 directory to install the programs? or do i just install from my PC via activesync like always?

Excellent! This is exactly what I was looking for; installed first thing this morning.

Thanks.

To repeat the question I posted above, which seems to have been bypassed:

Does the extended ROM need to be left unlocked after installing the programs to it?

If so, doesn't that cause a conflict with the storage card when one wants to install programs to it?

Thanks.

Yes.

I must say, I like this ALOT. Clean and simple, almost what we are looking for with the Unified ROM project.

Thanks for all your work.

Yeah, you want to leave it unlocked so it's just another storage card. And no, this doesn't conflict with your MiniSD. You'll see both as install destination options.

Any chance you'd release it like I have been doing the kitchen pre-2? Ie, create a batch file that does all the removes, and then copy in you're OEM package?

That way we can easily see any tweaks you found, and people can extend the rom for others..

I'm not sure I understand what you're after. All I did was remove the OEMs I listed and insert the ones I listed. No special tweaks other than that. Took me half an hour or so. The ROM team did all the real work.

I've had requests for a version without the Sprint mods, so a more generalized ROM without any change to the EXT_ROM will be my next build.

I do have a question though. When I try to tether my 6700 (via USB) i'm getting a "COM OPEN ERROR" is this normal with this build?

I think that's still an open issue with ROMs based on the Unified ROM Project. Colonel's working on that IIRC.
