Clean and simple AKU 3.5 for any Apache

[tfields4800]

hey all.. thought i'd give you a heads up on this. I had originally posted some questions regarding whether m$ gps intermediate driver was available in this build. After MUCH research, I came up empty.

My wife also has a 6700, and complained about the blinking light at the top. I went digging and found a program called ppc6700 hacks (http://www.freewareppc.com/utilities/ppc6700hacks.shtml) that took care of that issue, and lo and behold, one of the options in the program was to turn on the GPS icon. After a soft reset, voila! Micro$oft's GPS intermediate driver was there!

Thought someone else might benefit from this info...

Is the problem the 1.5 versoin of Voice Command? I've flashed the ROM two times with the same results.

I'm having the exact same problem. PLEASE HELP ANYONE!!!

From the looks of it, yes its a problem with VC... Because I have used V1.6 many times and it works perfectly with this rom...

I too have had no probem with the C&S rom and VC 1.6. Other than needing to add in the button 5 reg fix, its working well for me.

Any word if anyone is cooking a C&S rom based on the new 1.0.2 kitchen? Or can we take the latest C&S kitchen and somehow merge that in with the new kitchen files. Sorry if thats a dumb question, I'm still new to custom roms.

You guys all rock.

Not a dumb question at all, Same one I have actually.... I for the life of me cant find a good free cab manager, and I can not afford $100 for a program Ill rarely use... Otherwise I would currently be trying to make my own C&S style rom based on the new kitchen myself...

Looks like the update to the ftp structure took away some of the roms. I am looking for a link to the latest Kirvin C&S for any Apache based upon the final release Kitchen. I need it for a Verizon 6700. Any help would be appreciated.

I used this rom to upgrade from Saridnours, and it worked, initially. I got the blue boot screen which gave special thanks to ppcgeeks and a few other people. But I messed up installing some other stuff so I had to hardboot.

When I hardbooted, the Palm SMS threading app wouldn't work because the AKU wasn't above 3.3 (which is necessary to get it to work). I then reloaded Kirvan's rom, and then my boot screen changed back to the old school Sprint one, and it said the aku was 2.2 or something. I tried loading the Palm SMS app, and sure enough, the AKU wasn't above 3.3. I reloaded the rom at least 7 different times, making minor tweaks here and there, and none of the times would it properly load. I tried downloading the rom again, installing the rom from a different computer... Same thing always happens, when I install it I get the sprint screen that says the aku is 2.2.

Please help!

Your boot screen, if I'm not mistaken, as I'm still new to all this, will not show the updated AKU version. Instead you need to check it from
Start-> Settings -> System -> About. My C&S build from Kirvin's latest kitchen shows OS Version 5.1.195 (Build 15698.3.5.0)

Check there to verify what OS version you are actually running at.

On page 5 of this forum is a reference to Kirvin's Clean and Simple - Generic Apache ROM. The link in that post doesn't work for me.

Could someone provide the link that ROM if they have it?

Thanks again......

I just deleted the files from my computer after I upgraded to the new kitchen, otherwise I could have zipped them up for you. Sorry about that.

However, it looks like the successor to this ROM (unless Jeff decides he wants to do his own) may very well be this one that phoenx06 cooked up:

which incorporates all the new stability features and bug fixes in the new kitchen.

Yea, I just saw the new C&S rom based off the new kitchen. I am now waiting for it to come out for Verizon and then I will be all over that one.

Can't wait........... [/quote]
