If I put these programs in and remove the junkware what will be the result when I upgrade to the NZ Telecom ROM AKU 2.2? Should I just forget about customizing the extended rom if I want to do AKU 2.2? Should I remove junkware before or after AKU 2.2?

You could customize it now since with the 2.2 upgrade will update the 0S only and u may have to hard reset. Also all those can be put into the extended.

I have the Sprint PPC-6700 and I am trying to follow your instructions to remove factory programs. I currently have ROM 2.06 (Feb/06). When I go into my extended ROM I don't see the following CAB files.

CAB:\Extended_ROM\PPST_FILE_SPCS_1_19_003_with_PRL 20224.sa.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\PP_LockUp_Apac_212705.sa.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\PT_Ril_Apac_206301.sa.CAB

Everything else is there....Were these CAB files added in the later ROM upgrades? Do I really need them? If not then I'm will go ahead and do the hard reset and get rid of this junk. I will appreciate all the help.
Much thanks...

The first one you can get a better version of here at ppcgeeks...

http://ppcgeeks.com/sprint-prl-updat...ight,ppst.html

The other two are patches to the OS

See http://www.pdaphonehome.com/forums/p...laination.html

They are indeed in the latest sprint update, or in http://ppcgeeks.com/custom-aku2-2-be...ended+rom.html

You could just flash the "Plain Sprint ExtROM with all the junkware removed" extended rom.

If you are referring to the Total Commander link, it can be found here (source = google):

If you are referring to the PRL 20225 Manual Update Hack, it can be found here (source = mouseover the link, then search for the text you see in the status bar):

If you are referring to the "Custom AKU 2" thread, it can be found here, though there are much newer ROMs available (source = mouseover link, then search for the text you see in the status bar):
