Based on the readme file it's just an update to AKU2.2 with the DST changes in place. Possibly some other minor things (who knows) but with stable AKU3.5 ROMs out there now, it's not really anything of interest to most forum readers. I don't think anyone here has even bothered to flash it; we all have our custom 3.5's just the way we like them.

This update has been raised several times on various forums.

So are you still using AKU 2.2? What is your Radio version? 1.10 or 1.12 ?

well this is the same file that is posted on Verizon's support site for updates. You can practice flashing your phone with this file, and if you break it, Verizon will replace your phone. I did this myself. I bricked on my first attempt cuz I was trying to flash my phone using my Vista PC. I called Verizon and told them their update bricked my phone, and it was replaced in 3 days!


Below is a copy of the ROM details.
