Hi everyone!
Is there a fast way to delete system files?
I need some space in my /system folder because i'm trying to add the HTC_CIME (chinese IME) to my phone. It requires about 6MB free space.
Those file managers (like astro) do not let me delete files in the system folder, they give errors when trying to delete them.
I've got a HTC Hero that has been "rooted" with the SuperOneClick method. (didn't install a ROM yet)
Tried to google/search on the forum but i didn't find a straightforward answer
Thanks a bunch!

Finally managed to flash my mda with a bigstorage rom
All is good but I got a slight prob with something else. Although I hated the customisation of T-Mobile, I found it helpful that the phone automatically installs all the progs and settings in the extended ROM after a hard reset.
With BigStorage, I presuming that the Extended Rom folder is amalgamated with the Storage folder. Do you guys know whether it is possible to add the Cab files (e.g. intellidialer, etc...) to the Storage folder (as it was in ExtRom) so that it automatically installs the progs and customization options after a hard reset?
Or do you recommend going back to a traditional Extended Rom inclusive ROM and edit the Extended Rom there? I understand that ROMKitchen cannot be used on Mini's so do you happen to have any other program recommendations?
If the above two isn't possible yet, is there anyway of preventing the mda from deleting the Cab files after I install from them. For instance, when I install Intellipad, the cab file is automatically deleted. I had hoped that I may use this cab file again by dumping it in the "Storage" folder and using it if I need to hard reset the damn thing again
Thanks again
Hi rockykabir
sorry first for my english... I will try to explain my solution:
1. I have made a backup of all the Extended_ROM files to my PC (open in explorer loadvdisk.exe and copy through activesync.)
2. Made the Bigstorage and the Radio-Update (thanks a lot guys for the help that I have found in this forum.)
3. Made a small CAB-File which has to start first (see atached file)
4. If this file is installed, you can create a hidden and read-only folder on the SD-Card named: 2577 (Foldername is important)
5. Place inside this folder: autorun.exe and install.m2w and make the changes in the instal.m2w file. Think its easy.
6. Place all the recent CAB-Files into this Folder.
7. Make changes as you need
Make sure, that the folder and the files on the SD-Card are read-only and the folder should be hidden (not sure about that). If not, the Cabinet files will be deleted after installation.
How do I work now with this SD-Card? Easy... After a Hardreset, place the card into your MDA. Start Ext_Start.cab.
Put out the SD-Card and put it in again..... Enjoy.
Now i search only for an easy solution to make a small Extended_ROM for the Ext_Start.cab and the IIWPO. That task will be the next...
Enjoy the day
Thanks sooo much mate!!! - thats very kind of you as this completely solves my prob. I hope this is of use to others as well
I can't copy or move files stored in device ROM.
I've tried with Resco Explorer and Total Commander, but without success.
I didn't understand if there's a registry hack that allows these operations.
I've notice (or so it seemed to me) that I was able to substitute/copy/move some files having the ROM attribute, but many others not (eg: I've tried to copy the nleddrvr_sec.dll, obviously without success, otherwise I'd post this here!).
Surfing in many forums, I read many others asking for the same thing, unfortunately I haven't seen answers to their question about this.
Hope someone explains to me how to do or why is impossible to do.
Mersì bo q.

You can not copy / move / delete files in ROM. Thats the point of "Read Only Memory"
These files are not stored as individual files but are in fact packed in a special way as part of the device image which can only be written (flashed) by special tools.
If you want to extract OS files you need to use a ROM dump tool.
I suggest you look in the WiKi.
What you can do is overwrite one or more "ROM files". What will happen in reality is that a copy of the file with the same name will be placed in storage memory and the system will go there. If you hard reset your device or rename the file it will go back to the original file.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
As you said here and here (Changing Files in Windows Dir )
it's impossible to move/copy ROM files, just overwrite 'em.
Doing so the system looking for these overwritten copies.
So now the question are:
- there's a registry entry that points to this substitute ROM files?
- to modify an existent file resident in ROM I MUST dump my ROM or another one same or similar?
Mersì bo q, anyway.

when i use the file explorer and go to my windows folder, i cannot delete the cabs for games that i have. i'm guessing there is a way around this, i just don't know it. and do i need these cabs for the games to work? i think it's just the installer for the game, right? it's taking up unnecessary space on my phone. any help is much appreciated.
Anything in the windows folder, the OS considers a system file. To delete it you need a 3rd party file explorer like Resco.
my hero! lol thanks
I have been working on a ROM for the past few days, and I just recently realized that I deleted the files required for Clear Storage. I have been extracting other ROMS that I know have ClearStorage, but I cannot seem to find the files required in OEMDrivers. Could anyone provide me a copy of the ClearStorage files?
I know Alex includes a version of ClearStorage in his package collection, but it is not the one from the shipped ROM, and therefore not what I am looking for.
Hi you can find this file in ROM Folders(Rar file which you are download). So go to OEM\OEMDrivers and you will find it and then extract it to your OEM\OEMDrivers folder.
I figured out my problem, I had show hidden system files disabled.
Hello,
I was trying to install xrecovery into my x10. I copied the files as per the below post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=950324
but when I was trying to copy the files into the bin folder of my system, I could not find any bin folder in it. What can I do for this and is this the reason for my phone switching off regularly when i am trying to use net, camera, or even a call?
Please help.
