Talking CM6 Extender - gapps, Snap Kernel, Keyboards, and more. In one flash! CM6 Add-on

CM6 Extender was put together to enhance CM6 with a few small tweaks, but not make any major changes to the UI. Everything included can be found around the xda-developers forums, or directly from the developer, for free. I just combined them into a single zip that can be flashed in place of the GAPPS zip when installing CM6. Changes to stock CM6 below.

Includes all latest Google Apps (GAPPS)

Removed Facebook/Twitter (because they are easily found/updated in the market, makes sure you always have latest version)

Removed ADW Launcher, Replaced with LauncherPro 0.7.6.0

Replaced kernel with CM6-Snap-v7.4-havs875/OC/UV http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=733099

Added SNAP-widget by spiicytuna to manage/monitor it

Replaced Default Keyboard with Droid-X Multitouch: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=754948 (White with green highlights)

Creates a folder in your SD card with installers for Swype 1.61 and HTC Sense KB with 2.2

Added ES File explorer (To install those keyboards)

Added MSL Reader (Donate to the dev link within app)

Added Flashlight Alerts by apristel (not enabled by default, Donate to dev by purchasing from market) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=699978

Added Sprint TV


I will update Snap kernel once the 8.0 battery issue is solved.
Please donate to the CyanogenMod team at http://www.cyanogenmod.com/


Recommended Instructions:
1. Back that NAND up!
2. Do a full data wipe from recovery.
3. Flash CM6 (update-cm-6.0.0-Supersonic-signed.zip)
4. Flash CM6_Extender.zip
5. Reboot, enjoy

Updated: Moved LauncherPro to Data folder due to stability problems having it in the RO System folder. Also moved ES File explorer and Sprint TV to data folder so you can uninstall them if you want. (You can also download ADW launcher from the market and uninstall LauncherPro).
Also added a bunch of wallpapers to the SD card folder. A bunch of CM wallpapers plus the Galaxy S Wallpapers (all static)
New download link below.

Download Link: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=FHWJYYWV

If you use Firefox like me and want some sweet Chrome to phone action, go here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/161941/

You should also grab SetCPU to take advantage of the new kernel here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...6&d=1278385677


Should work with both RA and ClockworkMod Recoveries!

If you find any bugs or know of something cool I need to add, post it below! Thanks!! Also, if someone could provide a better mirror, that would be awesome!

Well I have no feedback because I'm all configured. It may be useful when I start messing around again.

Also, I just like my open source ADW. But this is a great idea. Thanks for the contribution. I will give this a try later.

Was it a syntax error by chance? I've gotten that a few times. Been trying to figure out a permanent fix.. will re-upload when fixed..

EDIT: I think I've got it. Updating with Snap 8.1, then a new upload coming.

EDIT again: Snap 8.1 is causing a ton of boot loops for me. I'll try and fix this tomorrow night :/

After reboot, I get the HTC screen and then nothing. Have to remove battery to get anything to work again (at which point, the same scenario occurs unless I boot into recovery mode).

Never mind - I just realized this was for EVO's only. I'm using the Hero.
