Looking into upgrading to WM6, and keep seeing Extended Rom not included? Can't find out if this means that there will be an empty space where the Ext. Rom used to be or the previous Roms Ext. Rom is left in place? Hope its the latter because I've put in UTA into my present Ext. Rom.
Sorry if this is answered elsewhere or a stupid question I'm just an amateur.

Extended rom may cause battery drainage in WM6. That and for the sake of G4 owners, i haven't seen any rom with Extended Rom included. Normaly, you will still have your old extended rom it won't be overwritten, but accesing it however, may lead to corrupting it and so making your battery life very very short.
Thanks for the reply, think I'll stop as i am.

hello
i have a big storage after i burn the rom without the extended

does if i install new rom on it it will be back to the smaller extended ??
please help me

thanks for all the good people here that want to help me
Come on. Your posting isn't 24 hours old.....
You can install the programs of the extended ROM manually or you have to reflash your device again with the ROM without the BigStorage hack.
As much as i know, there is no other solution....
Stefan
If you do a "normal" update, i.e. start an "official", unmodified ROM-update program that also includes an Extended ROM, you will get this Extended ROM installed as well.
The question is - why do you want an Extended ROM ?
Do you want to sell/give away your device ?
Otherwise you can install the .CAB files that usually are in the Extended ROM also by copying them from the PC via ActiveSync to your device. They are probably available on the FTP Server here (did not check it though).

One thing I must say is thankyou for doing your reading first - you set a good example.
One thing I must point out is that when you download the ROM, the ROM chef's who put them up for download usually include it with 2 files:
-kaiser_RUU.exe
-RUU_signed.nbh
All you need to do is make sure activesync is syncing up with your phone, then run kaiser_ruu.exe, and follow the prompts. There is no need to install anything on the memory card.
-Do I missed one step?
No, you haven't missed any steps.
-What is radio I do not really undestand it?and what can be the impact on my phone ( I am with Orange France) ?
I'm not 100% sure on this, but the radio is the software in the phone which acts as an interface between the reciever and the network. If you aren't having any reception or service issues, then it'd be best not to do anything to your radio. Usually, a ROM chef will point out whether or not they have included a radio update.
-Do the WM6 is include in the rom?
Yes. All kaiser ROMs are WM6.
-Do I will lose my office word and excel?
It depends on whether or not the ROM chef has removed it from their ROM. In their ROM description, it will usually explain what's in the ROM, or what's been taken out. You'd want to look for pocket office.
-All the Orange stuff will be remove?
Unless you download a ROM which strictly states that it has Orange settings, then yes, all the Orange stuff will be removed, but don't worry, because internet connectivity settings will automatically be configured by the phone when you start it up for the first time.
-Which rom is very stable and clean ( for a newbie)?
I'm very very happy with:

Oh, one thing you need to do is backup everything on your phone right now because you'll lose everything if you install a new ROM.
Thanks charbz
I do not have to save any data, I did not used it a lot ( a bit slow with orange stuff..)
I found a way to save my rom here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334680
Can it be usefull to save it?
Pascal
I don't think you have to 'un simlock my htc' - Flashing the ROM only requires the Hard SPL..
I personally would go for a large ROm to start with eg 'Austinsync's bigstorage
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=336509
or go for many of the lite versions and add your own cab's. Then backup using Sprite od SPB backup..
Saving original ROM is useful especially if you intend to return the phone for a waranty repair

Yes, it's always useful to save your ROM if there aren't any readily available versions of your existing type of ROM out there.
If you can get it working, then it would be great to have it backed up, in the situation that you need to make a warranty claim.
Can someone explain this to me. The storage in a device is in the ROM of the device. When you flash a cooked ROM it is in the ROM of the device. So are these in the same areas? When you look in /windows is that file what you flashed in or is it a copy? Where does all the space go?
generaly the full storarge is 128mb. the roms that are coocked are about 53-57mb unless the extended storage is included in the coocked version so it might be about 72mb (i think)
When you flash rom the computer loads the files into the phone, then the bar reaches 100% and a long wait before the phone reeboots. The rom files are locked for good; whatever aplications or upgrades you put into it do not overwrite any of the files in rom. so that when you hard reset only the original ROM files stay in the rom and all of the stuff you put into it are wiped clean.
The extended rom (correct me if Im wrong) is actualy located in the ram (usualy 10mb) This is the place where your carrier installes their programs and settings they desided are right for you. some developers also use the extended rom to put in their fixes.... However, all of that still gets installed into main device memory
Then there is a pagefile (from 4-8-12mb in some cases)
That leaves whatever miniscule remains for available storage and ram.
I hope that this is clear.
Can you just delete/add stuff to the extended rom or not?

Yep, absolutely agree with ya 100 % dude, ain't nothin to it.
Need help guys! How can i delete the files contained in my phone's storage or ext rom? I tried deleting the files but as soon as I soft reset my device, all of the files keep coming back... It really drains my battery big time and I want to get rid of it. How can I permanently delete the files contained in my phone's storage? Hope someone could help me here, thank you in advance!
Sukir420,
Not quite understand the question. Sorry, but you are referring to too many things without much details.. ExtROM, files in it and 'Storage' are two different things , The files in ExtROM are used by the device to install additional applications which are there in it, when you Hard Reset your device, and otherwise they just lie there eating that space.
It would help if you post more details about your device and current versions of Radio/ROM/ExtROM and whether your device is SupeCID unlocked etc.,
Anyway, act any of the below at your own risk.
a) If you would like to delete files in ExtROM first unlock (search this forum to get the extrom unlocker) it and make it visible then use a tool like TC (type /Extended_Rom folder) or Resco Explorer and delete filesfrom it. Alternatively you can pick up one of the empty ext ROMs floating around and flash that then unlock it to use that space as storage.
b) Do not understand or comment on whether files in ExtROM could significantly impact the battery drain!! , to my knowledge files in ExtROM may not impact battery too much.

Oh, okay sorry for that. I am then referring to Ext Rom. Yes, sir I would like to flash an empty ext ROM for my uni but I can't seem to find one. If you could please help me with this I would definitely appreciate it Sir. The files located in my ext Rom has an autorun file with it and again, sorry for implying that about my uni's battery getting burned too quick.
My Uni is superCID unlocked and I am using Tomal's WM6.1 Rom right now. I had this problem since I flashed my Uni with the "WM5 faster than WM6 ROM" for its video calling feature but I was too hooked to WM6 that's why I flashed back to Tomal's.
So, if anybody can help me with an empty ext rom to flash, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks guys!
Here you go
You can find Empty Ext Rom here
Surprised to note taht when you are on Tomal wm 6.1 (hopefully 8.2) you should not have ext rom as is unless it is 'NOT UNLOCKED'.
Tomal's Rom makes the ExtRom as 'Storage' which is visible and uable for storing files.
Ensure that your Extended Rom is unlocked and Visible before flashing this empty one. Other alternative is, use the unlocker tool and reflash your current Tomal version, if you can manage to reinstall the applications you got post Hard Reset as that would for sure make ExtRom as 'Storage'.
Attached is a working Ext Rom unlocker(at least it worked for me)
All the best !
The link for the empty extension rom states "Page not found", if you could please provide a mirror for this file, thank you very much sir for your big help.
Uploaded the ms_.nbf file which is Ext Rom for you to rapidshare.. Hope this helps

Hello,
I have a HTC Touch Diamond 100 and I installed the "Froyo FRX06 XDandroid NEW system update" review in the post "[prj] [XDANDROID] [AOSP] [FroYo | GINGERBREAD] [31.03] System Update" and everything works fine except that it doesn't recognize SDcard applications.
There's no Error Message in the screen, is just that the system doesn't recognice anything in the SDcard. I put my apps in the folder: AndroidApps-> Other. I think it's not the common fault that I have read many people have "Waiting for SDCard error. For people who have problems with sdcard message, add this to your startupmsmsdcc_1bit msmsdcc_fmax=14000000 msmsdcc_nopwrsave" because for instance the phone let me save the pictures i've take with the camera phone or install and recognice any app from the market.
I 've Format the card with the HP tools after initial installation and then i had restore all the files in the internal storage.
P.S. Sorry for my possible spelling mistakes but English is not my native language
Keep in mind if you put the apk in anything other than the AndroidApps folder you will need to install them yourself. See THIS FAQ for further explanation. As far as the wating on sd card message you get when you are booting into Android, I get those all the time and have no problems with taking pictures. I would suggest that you use the full bundle from THIS post to ensure you have the latest. Unless you know what you are doing

Oh what A noob mistake xD I didn't know that apps in the "Other" folder doesn't follow the "typical rules" for instaling apps (i've come from previous releases of Android, Eclair specifically, and in that version it was only place in this folder to install apps).
I'm using froyo instead of gingerbread builts because HTC touch Diamond it's quite old and i don't know if the performance would be better or slower than froyo performace but if you recomend me to use that gingerbread bundle i would use it.
Thanks R^7Z.
Honestly, Gingerbread is "better" but it is alpha release at the moment. Yes, this means that there are quite a few more "improvements" to under-go! I only recommend it if you like the idea of Android. The latest releases for FroYo aren't bad but it seems there are a few hard instability hits it has taken since FRX03 (last time I really enjoyed running a FroYo build from the XDAndroid project). Since then, I've been playing around with a few things and builds to include but not limited to this new idea of CWM (clockwork mod/Gingercherry tutorial) which is posted in the neopeek forums. So, unless you've got an idea as to how neopeek variants work, it's suggested to stick with the XDAndroid builds...

I see what you say but honestly, right now, I'm looking for stability and performace, if you know that gingerbread build GBX0A have better performance (i supose that it's less stable because it's an alpha) than FRX06 i'll choose Ginger
Thanks again R^7Z.
