hello there
i wonder if we can add those few more erom megabites to the main memory and/or main rom ? (this is off course in case we dont need any of those additional erom sw )
many thanx
It's technically possible if you're deep into the Uni-fu, but as it's currently irreversible the Uni-fu monks have not made a utility publicly available to do it. It would add to your Storage, BTW, not to your operating ram.
uni-fu ?
thank u for the reply , i guess it would b a much better use of those few megabites .... i d really like to give it a try , but .... what is uni-fu
That'd be kung-fu for universals, ie, not something we ordinary mortal users can expect to master easily.
is there any links where mortals can learn to b gods
:?: :shock:
You're asking a very difficult thing, and dangerous.
I unlocked my Ext_ROM and cleared it, then it would show up in the install list.
I have in there at the moment about 9.5MB of installed programs, so whether it is merged with main storage or not, it is being used.
I'm sure when Buzz has a tool that works for repartitioning the DoC without possibly wiping it and properly bricking, he will let us know.
Right now I'm quite happy that his energies seem to be directed towards the SIMlock =)

I've been reading the forum, and based on the information and the tools there I have been able to modify my extended ROM, which is great. Now of course I'd like to modify the main ROM as well, but despite the many hours I've spent searching the forum, I can't find the necessary information to do it. There's always something essential missing, something which probably is obvious to a programmer, but not to a normal user. As I've been able to modify the extended ROM, I guess I should be able to modify the main ROM too. Who can point me in the right direction?
from what i understand it's not even 100% possible with xda1 since people cant seem to make the extracted files back to a nbf file
and there are no tools that i know of that even extract the main rom from a xda2
As I understand it, when you upgrade the operating system, you're actually modifying the ROM. Some people here like to call it to "flash", I think, and there are a lot of messages about it in here. I just haven't found the information necessary to do it. I want to modify the ROM on my XDAII.
no the operating system is the rom which is in a eeprom in the device
when you flash the rom you replace the operating system with the new one
when you say modifying it mean more in the way of exchanging different files inside the rom
but if you just mean flashing the rom with a newer then here is a guide
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/HimalayaRomFlashing
What does EEP stand for? How many ROMs are there?
I've seen a ROM created here for the XDAI, containing more programs than what the devices normally come with. I would like to have a ROM on my XDAII containing the programs I use, so that I don't need to reinstall them every time the device is hard reset. Isn't this possible?
What does EEP stand for?

huh what does EEP have to do with this ?
suppose it could stand for
Executive Excellence Publishing
or
European Environmental Press
how many roms there are i think there are 1.5 1.6 1.66 and 1.72
about extra programs then they are not! in the rom they are in the extended rom any CAB file you copy to the extented will install after automatic after a hardreset
you should take a look at the romkitchens ( specifically for xda1, but can be made for xda2 as well ).
and mkrom, and the other romtools
EEPROM stands for "electrically erasable programmable read only memory".
this is sort of the predecessor of flash memory.
"electrically erasable programmable read only memory" sounds like a contradiction, but thanks for that, it makes more sense than EEPROM.
What about all of us users who don't have a Unix machine? I suppose we're stuck with the original ROM then, and have to install our programs over and over again for every hard reset. Of course you can put a few of them in the extended ROM, but it becomes full too quickly and you're left with installing the rest of them manually.
well you can upgrade to a newer rom as they come out
like i have 1.66 but if i wanted 1.72 i could upgrade
about contradiction heh yeah suppose so but then if it was 100% always READ ONLY then it would be random was what in it as how the transistors randomly set when it was produced
A newer ROM wouldn't contain the programs I want.
no :/ but it could contain bug fixes for ms and radiostack and such
i suspect that extented rom was made so it would be easier for the phonecompanys' and other 3th party resellers to get programs preinstalled fast without having to mess around too much in the rom
this is at the cost of memory though
but then some programs dident like to be in the rom i believe here i mean if setting files were places in the rom aswell and the program could not write to the setting file
mkrom also works on cygwin under windows.
( now I also wrote this in the wiki page )
Isn't that just for XDA I?
it works for windows ce in general.
that doesn't mean that there is no work involved in getting it to work, but it is possible to make it work for the xda2. I use it to build custom roms for the devices we sell, that is why I wrote it in the first place.
What's cygwin?
How much space is there in the ROM to add extra programs? In the ROM that this forum developed for XDA I they added quite many programs from what I could see.

Thanks for that, Rudegar.
To Itsme: I don't mind the work, but it looks like its written for programmers and that if you're not a fairly skilled programmer, you wouldn't be able to do it.
I don't want to bother anybody, but I believe in the FREEDOM -with capital letters-, and I think that Liberty is the best strenght you could have. So, why not let the opportunity to give people the power in theirs hands?.
I do not know if the programm actually works, I do not have time to try it but it seems to me that someone has attempted to make money through this application. And to prevent an unwantwed use I have resolute to share with all the community.
Best Regards

Looks pretty interesting ... for Developers
But to me =>
anyway thanks for the Tip

thanks for posting
some of us from "artemis" thread in the "artemis upgrading" topic have tried this app, but none of us had had any success so far.
this utility require specific htc card in order to boot image.
even it boots, utility won't work. error message Init Decoder Failed
might be some confusion with codes (didn't have time to study)
rem: utility will not boot even from htc card if you have USPL installed, it must be original SPL on your device.

Dear Sirs and senior members and members:
At the beginning I would like to make it clear why I called the Title like that, not to make me important or to gain more readers, its because I appreciate the great efforts that have been done in this Forum to make it great and to help each other to find new ways to make your work better and better.
My Suggestion this time is to avoid the unnecessary copies of the same Rom build with all the extras or without anything “Full, Lite, Big storage etc…” and I think all of the Rom cookers faced the problem that they cant make a Rom which will make all the members satisfied, and many of them got the problem that as soon as they are finished with there ROMs a new versions appears of the same programs included in there ROMs and that way the cant be called NEW because of some old things, and the most weird thing that the Rom cookers make is to include many programs in the Rom that an be installed separately on the memory card which I can understand at all they work hard for very long time to make a fast and stable Rom as possible and they put all the extras in the Rom which make it heavy without any reason programs like “Winrar, Adobe acrobat reader, Adobe Flash lite, Real Player, etc…” puts many megabytes in the device memory and the Rom.
My SUGGESTION is very simple please use some kind of a program Like PocketPc installer (http://www.pocketpctoolkit.com/WhatIsIt1_PPCInstaller.php) which you make include all what you want of programs in it and port it with the Rom which we can copy to our memory cards to install the chosen programs that any one of us likes on the device memory or the memory card just like some modified copies of Windows XP which asks after the installation which programs to install , Please make a look at this program to get more detailed information about the idea.
Thank you for your kind Patience to read the Long post.

The foundation of XDA and its tools is built on free and open software, while windows mobile is not, the installers that are used, the build tools that are used, and the other various tools we use are built on donated time, resources, and a willing to share knowledge. We do not however want to use software that requires us to pay for to package the software that we are trying to give to the community to make better.
This is not an advertising forum, nor is this a place to try to make a false plea to our developers/packagers to buy and use software that you may own and are selling.
While your tool could be of use. If you were to release it free, I could see them using it. As for paying for something so we can give the community free roms doesn't seem very smart.
Thanks,
Andrew

My SUGGESTION is very simple please**(Use some kind of a program Like)** PocketPc installer
Please **(Take a look at this program)** to get more detailed information about **(the idea)**.
I am not and dont have any cnnection to this site or the programm maker to push you to buy anything, and the link that i have gave is just to show you my idea with Pictures and more details .
Thank you for your replay and i would like to know your openion for this idea.

Hi ahmedkom,
I totally agree with your idea, rom chefs could make an ultra lite roms as the base rom and including an installer program to run CAB files from memory card. So that everyone could have their custom set of program and setting, and remove/updates could be apply without the process of downloading a new buly rom and take risks of flashing the device every week/few days...
CAB files could do manything from minor settings, registry, file operation to full program installation.
Beside PocketPC Installer, I suggest to use a program called CeleCommand (http://www.yonsm.net/read.php?329) for installer program. Worth try it out coz it can do many tasks..
just my 2 cents.
I totally agree ahmedkom too.
ok, i'm agree with you, but there are differences between integrating the apps and installing them after running the rom, many of apps use windows directory to install some files and that give the OS overload, otherwise if they are already integrated with the rom, they will not overload on the OS.
we have to keep this (lite and full versions) if the user doesn't need some apps integrated on the rom, he can use the lite version then he have to install whatever he wants.
the good thing from cookers is to create lite and full versions with make add ons cabs for the apps were not include on the lite version.
good thread dude for users and cookers .
Although I don't think it's a straight replacement for options, or variations I should say, in a ROM, I do think this looks like a damn useful app.
its a big honor to me to get answers from the seniors and i am very glad for you post its right but i didnt mention the programs that are installed in windows folder i am talking about the programs that we can install in the memory card just like pocket rar ,realplayer, totalcommander,gsfinder,1-calc LITE,tcpmp etc..
so...my idea goes like this...
1.what is the first thing u think of after your device got lost\stolen??
W.I.M.P (or any other anti theft program)
2.what is the second thing u think of???
what if the person who found\stole my device performed HR(?!)..
ok so what i was thinking of is having a way to change\modify the buttons sequence (witch every body knows) to perform HR so it will be like your own locking code..
****************
another thing that have to be done in order to prevent unwanted HR is to change the "1234" numbers u r being asked to enter when trying HR from the software to a personal code...
****************
unfortunately..i dont have this kind of tools and knowledge to do it so i'm asking u guys...
plz check it out !! it will upgrade the whole security issue...
Well there is also a thing like Clear Storage under the settings page wich also does a hard reset.
u missed the point..i'm not looking for another ways to HR....
no, but a thief can use that instead.
Or upload a program to do a HR.
Best thing to do is to bake WIMP in your ROM so it will be active after a HR. And get a sort of 'own signed' HardSPL so your thief can not flash it.
But I think he could flash the HardSPL, anyway, i think not many thieves come that far
good point !
but where is this coded ?
it must be before device loads bootloader ?! and if so - this is then hardcoded on the mb ... which maybe a bit tricky to change..
but i am sure we do have some more into deep guys on board .. so why not give it a try .. and brick another device ;-)
I think olinex can fix a way to 'sign' a rom with your code, so the hardspl can only flash roms that are signed with YOUR code. Building those roms is not very hard from existing ones I guess.
I am only curious, if the device can be locked in that way so no SPL can be changed (without password/right code/right SPL rom). I don't think that is possible.
Building a functional ROM with antitheft program full running is not hard.
Also make sure, the antitheft program can't be killed by advanced taskmanagers.
At first, it should stay invisible.
But, unless an XDA-noob steals your phone, don't be worried. Just a hard-reset surviving should be enough for 99% of the thieves. No 'simple' thief will know about reflashing and SPL
This looks promising! keep up the ideas!!!
YOu might want to look at this: http://www.pocketpc-live.com/pocketpc-softwares/ultimate-theft-alert-v3-for-pocket-pcs.html
i know it does not do what yo want, but i thought you may find it interesting because if there is some type of security development the messaging and locking features from her are very nice.
how hard will it be to take the official 1.93.456.2 rom and add W.I.M.P to it by cooking???
any links for a guide plz?
Maybe you can try cooking Ultimate Theft Alert v35! into it. Already guides are there which can me modified for diamond. Look here and here.

Carty..

wow read all of that seems pretty freaking neet
Thanks

I'm not a programmer....
but i think it's simple.. should go something like this:
Code:
if (diamond.stolen) ;
then do "change HR combination" ;
for i in buttons do
buttons.change;
end
i wish i had known more about it and have the guts to try it
ok....i was thinking about it while showering...
when u do "clear storage" u r being asked to enter "1234" to confirm...
all we need to do is change it too....
now...if we change the HR buttons sequence and the numbers to enter for HR from the software......what other way to HR u can use????
i think this is the best solution...
anyone know how to do it?
can you make a special System for D9000/cht9000.
My friend is trying to change this phone's ram.
every body kown this phone's ram is 64 M.
And my friend is trying to change it become 128M.
so I need a special System for D9000/cht9000.
can you edit it ?
waiting!
It will be made when you come back with an successful upgrade.
Delete this from here or point this guy toa technician maybe he can tell him that there isnt NAND ememories 128 for hermes... I know there are for universal but not for hermes... althout is non related to this forum...
