Saridnours’ AKU 3.5+ Rom. Current 3/28 v3.5pr6

[gof]

A few follow ups for Beta 3.

MS Reader works fine. Love this in ROM for the space savings.

I can confirm that PIE+ expires, with one notice, then functions as PIE. Looks good there.

It would be good to get the Flash fix incorporated.

I'm seeming to have issues getting the Ext Rom unlocked. I thought your base ROM did this, and/or I've forgotten how to use the unlock utility, but I get a success message from using APA_ext_rom_unlock.exe (I loaded this, I don't think it's in the ROM). and while I can erase the Config.txt file, I wasn't able to WRITE a new one in it's place Very weird. So I loaded the apps one by one to avoid all the junkware.

Voicecommand works well once you copy your own file to the Windows dir. It does announce calls if configured to do so. A note to testers, remember that by default it only announced if your in "free time". So if your having issues, make sure your not in a blocked part of your calendar (i.e., Busy).

Finally, the number of apps you've got wrapped up in here is impressive. It would be very nice if you had in the Readme a list of added programs and at the very least a link to the website for each so people can find out exactly what they do Or a link to a discussion of them here. FOr those of us who can't spare enough time to watch every single thread, we sometimes fall behind on the latest utilities

Only Saridnour gives it out. And since we all like to keep him happy (and happily improving the build), we tend to respect his wishes

Anyone test JVM?? Did not see any mention of these changes in b3?
Anyone test MMS???

gof: There is a ROM unlock in the ROM as of b1. Also the first post will have a list of apps when released, Ill see about adding that to the read-me.

Ill take a look at the flash plug as this would be a nice add-in. It sounds like the current reg entries do not support the plug so I will need to do some before and after reg comps so this may delay things a bit but will be worth it. I was not aware of these so that's why they were not there before.
I had a video card fail on my desktop so thats holding up any progree for a day or so, just need to get a new card in it now that I am back.

Any eta on releasing the hounds (beta)?

[pringlet]

1) I tested the JVM, it looks good. Opera Mini installs and runs fine.

2) I can't speak for the MMS since I have MMS disabled thru Verizon.

Let me know if you need details or have anything specific you want me to try.

1) MMS on Verizon sort of works.
Running Beta 3.
Initially, after a hard reset, MMS was not even an option in messaging.
I installed "Apache_VZW_MMS3.0.6.24_20060124.CAB" from the extended rom.
Now I can send/receive Picture messages, but not video messages.

2) In the Wisbar Lite setup screen, the tabs at the bottom are missing the text.

These are the only 2 things I've found so far.

Anyone know if Goodlink works with this ROM. I know they have cracked the code in Phoenix's 3.5 ROM.
