Adapting extended rom. possible or not?

Hello Magician guys....
After having now for a long time the good old XDA I device i recently upgraded to Magician device. Received it today and think it was a good choice. Now i have spent a long time here in the forum to get more infos concernig this device.
All i want to do in the moment is to customize my device. Aborting the extended rom installation and dumping the rom worked fine. ;-)
Glad to read this all here in the forum.
But now i want to change the extended rom.
After reading many postings here, i could not find any solution. Maybe i´m blind or it´s still impossible to do that.
Can anybody give me a hint to a thread how to do this, or dissapoint me and tell me it´s in the moment definitly not possible....
Regards
Stefan

i think the or is correct

Actually it is possible to change the Extended ROM content, but you can only read the modified content. And if you want to change it, you have to hard reset in order to flash it again.

:roll: so how do you change it??
I wouldn't mind re-flashing if I could choose to install stuff to Extended ROM....

It works for me with ROM version 1.03.

PDAmobiz update: Final Rom - Dopod 818 Pro WM5 AKU3.2 and 2.3

http://www.pdamobiz.com/show_news.asp?NewsID=72203&PN=1
Because downloads are slow as hell at pdamobiz, I'll post this later on the xda-developers FTP.
If somebody could translate, it would be nice *waves to chan*
Update:
I've uploaded them onto the FTP site here.

Where I can download "clean" FINAL AKU3.2?

pdamobiz really do overfill what could be a good rom with junk.
is it all in the ext rom or built into the actual rom itself?

Omg.

In previous roms "Junk-soft" was build into ROM

please upload this rom, because looks incredible

still downloading....will up as soon as it's done and post the ftp link here
as already said, junk was in the ROM last time, I've contacted some people over the pdamobiz to have them release a clean version, if not, I will have a look to see what I can hack together

I'm downloading too. (over 40 hours already) 32 MB so far.

if the "Junk-soft" was built in the Ext-ROM, this release would be a PERFECT ROM

It's always up to you to upgrade your device with other people's ROM or not. If you feel it's full of junks, then just don't upgrade your device or just do it yourself.

hello,
are all the "junk-soft" in the extrom or in the ROM? is it possible to "debranded" the ROM whith making a soft reset after align the screnn? Will all this software (many unusefull for my using) don't install and we can choose afterwards what we want to install then?
sorry for my bad english.

Yeah, sorry Kuanchai (and I speak for many people...)
I'm currently using the RUU_Prophet_G3_2151327_AKU23_023021_P16MB_PDAMobiz_v2307 ROM that "is full of junk built into the ROM". I'm not complaining even though it is not 100% to my liking. I thank the people over at PDAMobiz for giving us this ROM and showing us the trick to CID unlock our devices.
I think in our zealousness to tinker constantly with our devices, we have become greedy Uncle SCROOGEs... always asking & asking and forgetting to say thanks.
And thank u Jesterz for notifying the rest of us. Let us have your review ok? Maybe some of our Thai friends can give a breakdown of the info on the site...?

Take it easy...

Hi guys!
Please be calm. First we should say THANKS for the effort, whatever our liking or not.
Then, we could suggest things to improuve. I myself might dislike many of the things included in someone's else cooked ROM, but suggesting to move them to another file and then allowing us to install them "one at a time" from, let's say, an SD card, is not a bitter complain.
BTW, as soon as an easy "ROM kitchen cooking" tool becomes available for Prophet I'm sure there will be no more complains in that matter....
Don't you?

Radio ROM?
does this 3.2 upgrade require a Radio ROM upgrade too?
I'm using Radio 2.30.21, not very happy at this time, since battery depletes at at astonishing rate and my prophet disconnects itself overnight. Are the different versions compatible with the new AKU?
Wich Radio versions are recomended?
Tanks!

Pfff that took long enough.
I've uploaded them onto the FTP site here.
AKU 2.3

Thanks, Putra and Looking Glass. Sorry if my previous post might be a little offending. I'm not in the PDAMobiz team but always respect them for their constant effort to make new ROMs for our use and never asked for anything. I also know that all of us here are also pleased to help each other without asking for any reward.
In fact, I also don't like some softwares in the PDAMobiz customized ROM but never complaint that those are junks. I agree that we could suggest things to improve and I think they are welcome any comments or suggestions. I think it would be great if our requests are more friendly. It might take time though to make a new ROM after our suggestions.
By the mean time, if you don't want to use any software in that ROM, just delete their shortcuts from /Windows/Start Menu/Programs. Their existence in your ROM doesn't make any harm to your device. If you have time to learn how to modify ROM image, then you could delete those softwares from the ROM and add any other things in. Then you will get your completely customized ROM.

These 2 new ROMs will downgrade your Radio ROM back to 2.19.21. You could, however, upgrade it back to whatever you like. The developer suggested version 2.20.21 because it's more stable and less battery drained:
http://files.pdamobiz.com/ROMs/XDA/Prophet/PDAMobiz_Prophet_G3_RadioRom_v2.20.21.exe
http://files.pdamobiz.com/ROMs/XDA/Prophet/PDAMobiz_Prophet_G4_RadioRom_v2.20.21.exe
Please be cautious if you want to upgrade to 3.2 ROM, from the forum, there are still some bugs:
1. The battery is not charged during the sync. You need the wall charge. Someone said soft resetting the device while charging will help.
2. MSN is still not working.
3. A few people said their device hung up when enter the camera.

The above files are on the FTP server, the speeds are very slow from pdamobiz
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Prophet/Prophet-roms/RadioRom/

Thanks
Many thanks for info, will post my findings through the trial...
BTW just cancelled the endless download from the pdamobiz congested site.
;-)

BTW, can anyone confirm what pagepool size these 2 new ROMs use? I glanced the PDAMobiz site, but couldn't find any info.

Please help I am confused with WM6

Hi,
Please can someone help me. I am very confused by all the different WM6 OS that are on here. I dont want the O2 stuff thats on my PDA but when I flash with different OS systems its still there. I just want an operating system that is a basic as possible with as few bugs as possible.
I like WM6 and would like to stay with that so if someone could suggest the best one for me I would really be gratefull.

I guess you flashing with a OS ROm but not a extended ROM. Therefore you Still have the old extended ROM in Which are the O2 applications.
You need to get empty extended ROM and flash it to your device.
Regards to good WM6, it is up to everyones own opinion which of the ROM are the most suitable one. Currently I am using PDAVIET 2.10.11 and I am happy with it.

From my short experience with these WM6 roms there really isn't one "use this and nothing else" rom. They're all about the same with small differences. I use Laurentius26's latest rom and am quite happy. I don't even use video calls it just that I liked how stable it was to me.

Where can I get an empty extended ROM
Thanks for the help!
Can I be pointed in the right direction to find somewhere I can get and empty extended rom from.
Am I also right in thinking if I have an empty one it will leave more space for me to install programs of my choice.
I am new to all of this but am very keen to learn.
Thanks

I think you can find one in the FTP sites mentioned in the WIKI.
From my understanding having an empty extended rom gives you more space on the device yeah.

I am also confused by the many different OS version for WM6 ROMs. I did a search and this is the closest post I could find that had an appropriate topic but the answers don't really explains the reasons for different OS versions.
Is the latest the best and most stable?
Is there an OS changelist I can view somewhere?
Are the OS versions set by the ROM maker and shared by them?
Are the OS versions set by Microsoft or the device manufacturer that the OS came from?

When I found this thread I thought 'Universal' meant for all devices but I have just noticed that it was for a specific device and as such in a specific forum. I am going to post this question in the general forum...

update WM6.0 to WM6.1

Hi,
I've got a HTC Tytn 2 bought in the netherlands and it's shipped rom version 1.56.404.6 and radio version 1.27.1.32

Ruu_Signed_Duttys_WM6.1_Hybrid_1.64.08.21__RTM_
Ruu_Signed_Duttys_WM6.1_5.2.19700_Hybrid_V2_1_65.14.06_CubeV2_
NoThrills_WM61_NLD_V3.exe
They all give error [262]
I've disabled the windows firewall.
Did a clean XP install and activesync 4.5
None works.
Anyone can point me in the right direction? as i'm new here.

Like P1tater said before start on the first sticky of the forum or just click on the Link in my signature labeled "Flashing virgins click here". That will reveal all pertinent information.

How is it blurry? There's a huge link with nice big red letters in that sticky that even a pile of freshly shaven wool covered in alfredo sauce would know addresses your question:

I can only assume that by blurry you mean you read his response without your glasses and therefore the text wasn't in focus. Otherwise, I have to worry about wool being sentient and taking over the world.

I hate to say this but I never had to ask how to flash a ROM to my TytnII (AT&T Tilt). Every question on flashing ROMs has been answered time and time again. It doesn't matter what phone (Pocket PC, Smart phone, or other), you need to unlock it before you can change the OS, built-in OEM software, or the entire ROM on the device. You will only be able to update the device with the manufacturer's or cellphone comany's software updates if you do not unlock the phone.
As for updating to WM6.1, there is no update method that I know of. You will have to flash an entire 6.1 ROM to your phone. If your cell phone company releases an "update" to 6.1, it will most likely be a complete ROM and not an update like they might say.
Due to European law, most all phones are unlocked for use on different networks. That does not mean you can just flash any ROM to your phone, it still has to be software unlocked.
HINT: look up "HardSPL" or use the XDA-Wiki link at the top of your screen.

How to make a ROM for my device?

Sorry for the double posting , I posted in the wrong section!
Hi guys
I have this old HTC Galaxy 100/Dopod P100 that runs WM 5. I want to upgrade it to WM6+, but there aren't any roms for this device on this forum. Can I download a WM6 ROM and fine tune it for this device(add drivers, fix resolutions etc.)? If so, how can I do it? Please help me!!!
Thanks

Galaxy is pretty old hardware, you can't just download any 6.x rom. It has to be for your device. As far as rebuilding a 6.x rom for your device, I think that the resources needed to run a 6.x rom would either be beyond what you have of would leave you no room for anything else.
In any case, you can start here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=612

Looking through the forum right now hopefully I can upgrade the device
