How to Customize a Custom Rom: Adding/Removing Programs

I really like JD's sprint2921 ROM, and I'd like to have the gps and revA like the Hybrid ROM. If I use prepit to extract the nbh of each rom can I simply mix and match certain files to get gps and Reva on a stock like ROM? I'm sure that's over simplified but I really don't know. Can I turn one of the ROMS into a kitchen?

The GPS and Rev-A is actually in the Radio. That topic on converging roms should be left to the chefs. This thread is for taking jd's rom and adding a few programs to it and taking out a few you don't want. Maybee you can request to have the features you liked in his 2921 rom installed in his current rom.

There have been numerous requests of him already. I'd hoped it was something I could pull off. Do you think if I have the 3.xx radio installed I can run an older rom and get gps if I add the driver's?

Flashing an older rom on the new radio would not be wise. The new rom had to be ported from alltel to work with the new radio. You might try the PPCKitchen so you can create your own rom. It is fairly easy to use and has a support forum for it if you run into any problems. This tutorial is only for minor changes to an existing rom.
