I'm waiting for a wallet that isn't maintained by jonald_fyookball. ElectronCash my Aunt Fanny. 

ElectronCash is a swindle made specifically to steal your bitcoins.
Get the latest 2.9 version of Electrum instead!

You can't get the fork coins without the cracked wallet. As far as I know a new version of the official client won't help.
What do you mean by "cracked" wallet?
