Hey guys
the boys over at PPCGEEKS have done it again. Someone there has released a kitchen from Helmi's Apache WM6 ROM/
I take NO credit just passing it on incase some people dont know PPCGEEKS website /and I thought our cricKet section wouldnt be complete without a link to it :
"
Not my work!
Thanks verizonguy, Helmi,Bepe, Mamaich, itsme...and so many more..."

Yes, you read it right, the first WM6 kitchen available for the Apache. This is based primarily on Helmi's work and the tools of Bepe, Mamaich, itsme, tadzio, misar, et al. I require no credit or acknowledgement for all the work I've put into this--just please when you get a chance, send a paypal donation to Helmi.

This is a work in progress and I wasn't going to release it yet as I want to do a lot more work polishing it, but figured I'd give you all something to play with. Remeraber this is a rough version, made available for testing and further development by the community. I haven't updated the documention. It still has our old wm5 aku 3.5 docs.

One condition to use this Kitchen: If you choose to make a custom rom from it and post it for others, please include Helmi in the title or give credit to Helmi_c when you post it. With WM5 kitchens, people used his work without giving him the proper credit. This can be really frustrating. Helmi is responsible for much of where we are today.

Bring on the testers.

Enjoy

Major Update: Devel4 now available for testing.

Summary of changes in this build:
I've managed to fix Infrared Beam OBEX in this build. I've also added SDHC support and Office 2007 support along with removing more extraneous stuff. I'll be starting a separate thread for more discussion on SDHC on apache. I think you'll find this rom also gives you more space to install programs on your phone



This installer package is designed for Verizon users to be run on Windows XP. This is a work in progress and is a development build, not yet an official release, so use at your own risk.

All credit goes to Helmi_c. We owe him much for all the time he has put in to making WM6 available to us on the Apache. Please send him a donation when you can to show your appreciation.

More optimizations & standardization.

-Other fixes, but it's 3:22am and I'm tired.

-Added free applications: Total Commander (great free file explorer/manager), PHM Registry Editor and a Soft Reset application.
