Dear Schaps,vp3g,Bepe,its right,Sleuth and all of You Good People
the rom kitchen packs all the DSM and RGU files that we need to build the OS only in the rom when you creat it, i am talking about more than 175 DSM files and 25 RGU files (with size of500byte-2KB) in the Windows folder wich makes the rom and the windows folder slower a little bit , you can delete all these unneeded files after you build the OS then search all the DSM,RGU files in the rom folder before you create the rom because they are not more in use and then create the rom .
1.make your rom as usual
2.Start BuildOS.exe
3.Delete all the dsm and rgu/Boot.rgu files and then start the CreatROM.bat
NOTE:
*****
I am Speaking about the Rom Preformence without this files included in it, and to help each other you can share this files ithout including them in every Rom , Give it a try and you will notice the Defernce in windows folder opening speed

Interesting! For those of us who are just learning the cooking process, say, using Pandora, how would we go about doing this ... or is it not really possible with the automated kitchens?
Does removal of these files have any other implications? For instance, would their removal make it impossible to dissect the ROM and rebuild it using one of the kitchens? Any other ramifications?
Regards,
-pvs
I intended it to be like that. It's not as slow as to many cooked apps inside windows folder. We're a community of learners here. It's better for everybody to catch everything up and learn how we do it. I know some cooks like to delete every RGUs so it will be a little harder to be hacked.
go get a black rom then. those do not have the unneeded rgu files. those come in handy bc if they are not there u cannot package the rom once its dumped. that doesnt mean u still cant recook it but schap lets the rgus stay so u can recook based on his rom. the dsms i believ u cannot remove even after u cooked ur rom.
I don't delete mine because it makes it easier for people to make their own ROM derivatives by using package tools developed here.
Aye, the rgu files in DIY kitchens are very useful for tailoring to your own requirements. Dunno about other pre-cooked ROMs by the XDA-Dev chefs but I wouldn't want to not have them in the kitchens.
So, I hope it's clear now why we did not delete ours, ok. We are helping each others in this field. If everybody keep it secret then there will be no Helmi's, Schap's, Ollipro's, Sleuth's, JJ, VP3G's, mine etc.
"WE ARE A COMMUNITY"
I was talking to a hermes chef about this issue not to long ago, and he said he'd happliy donate all the missing rgu's to anyone who asked. So I guess it depends on the sort of character that your dealing with as to whether rgu's were removed for speed benefits or as an anti-tampering measure.
The reason a speed difference exists is because your device constanty scans the WINDOWS folder for files. The less files it has to scan the less time that is devoted to this process.
Some chefs do employ this tactic as an anti-tampering measure. Some even go so far as to put all of your files on one dsm file. Claims of evolution past the use of dsm files surrounded this release, draw your own conclusions about that one. Chef's who employ this anti-tampering measure are in essence altering someone else's intellectual property (IP). Anybody who has had anything to do with the legal side of IP will know that it is a grey area at the best of times. So the scenario of adding your IP to someone else's IP raises many ethical and legal issues.
So just to summarise, if you do remove those files for speed purposes then thats acceptable, to do so as an anti-tampering measure is not acceptable. Sorry I took so long to explain my point.
Sounds like a good idea. Delete all the DSM and RGU files to increase performance, then post them in a zip when you release the ROM. That way, those who want to learn/modify it can, and those who don't want their device cluttered with crap they don't need don't have it.
We have to look at how developers do it. They also did not delete the RGUs. Why?
list of this rgu's?
Could anyone then give a list of these rgu's that we can remove and how are we to remove them... for speed purposes...
thanks!

Hum... You're quite funny talking here about intellectual property. Though we all appreciate the Chef's great job (and can donate to show our appreciation), let's have a bit of honesty: the IP here is Microsoft's.

I can't remember where to read that but surely in this forum, you can savely delete all the .rgu files after rom dump creation (i mean delete those .rgu in the temp folder after running buildos tool) as all required registry for each package have been merged to default.hv and user.hv. Just simply go to the temp folder and make a quick search on *.rgu and delete all.
For .dsm, it will be best to kept all the .dsm files in the ROM for the device to run properly.
For instance, I have tried to delete all .dsm file when modifing a ROM to suit my own use, after deleting all .dsm, the activesync stop working (keep say connecting when plug to PC with USB cable). when put back all .dsm, it works perfectly.
This is just my personal experience on .dsm deletion, if anything i am wrong, please correct me. Also please share your view in .dsm files, i have googled it for long but still cannot get an idea of what it exactly done.
hope this help, cheers.
AFAIK
You can delete all rgu files, no difference
but try to do the same with ALL DSMs and you'll see the difference
you have to leave DSMs for at least SYS packages, but maybe not all of them. Or make just one DSM for all, not sure if it will work
EDIT: sorry, ctrlaltdel already answered above
How do you delete files that are flagged as being in the ROM once it is already installed on the phone?
i tried to delete the DSM's out of my own dumb curiosity... and... it broke.... so, dont delete these.

I do it for the same reasons, I try to split every component of my ROM into packages with all details in RGU files, to make the kitchen as easy as possible.
I don't know about the improvement after deleting those files, but for sure you mustn't delete DSM files, and concerning storage space I don't think you will save a lot by deleting RGU files.
if you're hard up for storage, I've found that you can delete quite a few files from the phone. I usually get rid of all the help files (they are listed at htm files). open each one to make sure you dont need it. I then delete all of the wav's, wma's, amr's, and mid's that I KNOW i dont want or need. Then I delete the one movie that's in the ROM. Then, i go through EVERY png, jpg, and gif file and remove the ones that I know I dont need. I use an aftermarket dialer and an aftermarket comm manager so that pretty much allows you to dump ALL of the dialer/comm manager pictures as well as the indialer ones. I get rid of all of the files listed with "I-8" at the beginning of their name, but, I dont have a camera so you have to be careful with these. I dump all of the EVdo Files (as the phone doesnt' do EVDO) as well as the 1xrtt ones. I have broken my phone (not bricked, just HORRIBLY slow) once so I'm pretty much not affraid to test to see what can go (as evidenced by my post just prior to Schaps).
bottom line: if you want to save space, you can. You just have to go through the rom file by file and delete what you KNOW you dont need. Keep a backup of the ROM and, if it doesnt work, reinstall and try again!

I am constantly uploading the new version of ER2003Edit to the tools folder but it gets deleted permanently.
How is responsible for this???
Maybe
Maybe intentional or not...
please try the other method...post it to your topic and attached...not giving the ftp link.
someone has deleted many folders from the ftp site,
left a file which says "Stop hacking the magneto PPC OS.
We'll do what it take to prevent those leaks."
dont those SOBs know ...no body posted it on the ftp
what tha F*CK!!
stop messing with the FTP!
Well on the blueangel FTP we have had two wipe outs, there is a thread in the upgrade section about that.
We changed the rights hoping that it was a windows move not copy but it did not work.
I have sent 2 admins a pm on the last meltdown requesting a backup no reply.
We are forced to do an offsite back up which is not cool.
Read a thread about revoking rights of xda user and Peter said he would get to it.
I agree with you that someone haas played tricky with us.
We should have to mange with this situation.
Now, most of files in ftp has deleted esp. in Himalaya folder.
And they leftsome files that said about Magneto, Why???????
I don't think MS do it but Maybe someone in community play tricky with us. I don't know why they do.
Or they are Agents from MS. Really bad story.
What do you have any idea?
I suggest Admin to lock ftp and Only moderator can upload files to ftp.
Peter,
can't you take a look at the ftp log files and compare it with the www log files in order to see which user is deleting files? I'd really like to talk a few words with this guy...
I was browsing through the ftp and it appears there are tons of stuff in the Universal Uploads folder. If someone in here is able to verify that all the stuff in there is good (well good as in meaning no virus's or fake files) then let me know i will jump in and move the stuff into "Safe Heaven". Since im not a Universal user i cant verify them myself, but i do want to get the ftp cleaned up a bit so its easier to find the stuff people want.
Universal Upload Folder
Most of the AKU3 ROMs directory is ok. "Uni_AKU3_WWE". I have try Indra, Ivan & Helmi. My friend tried Jwrights.
Most of the Radio directory is ok. "Radio". I have used the 1.14.10 & the 1.13.00
HELMI_UNIVERSAL_VISTA_BOOTSREEN_PACK.rar is ok.
Seems like a lot of stuff are missing or is it moved to somewhere?
Hi, I can verify Helmi's rom AKU3.5 latest version, radio 1.14.10, CreateBootScreenPackage.rar and MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe (under Uni_Tool folder) are all working and free of virus.
I'd like to have CreateBootScreenPackage.rar under Universal folder out of Uploads cause I'm planning to link it from Universal's wiki.
Sergio.
I understand the need to clean up the ftp folders but if the files are moved away from their present folders then almost every link to files in the upload folder will be invalid. That means that allot of users will be asking again and again for the files. Just thought I'd share.

Then they will have 2 options:
1. People can update their links to the point to the Universal folder and not the upload folder.
2. People can look be proactive and look in the Universal folder for what they are looking for.
By moving them to the regular universal folder it will prevent people from deleting files that may be of use. I am probably going to start moving files today!

Tool_and_programs folder in Uploads folder
I have added a folder in the uploads folder called "Tools_and_programs".
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Universal/Tools_and_programs/
In that folder I have put in four programs:
Currency_Converter_2005.zip: This is a free and really good program I found online.
ftp://xda:[email protected]_and_programs/Currency_Converter_2005.zip
OxiosMemory-CloseApp.zip: This is the close app and hibernate app that is included in most of the AKU ROMs.
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Universal/Tools_and_programs/OxiosMemory-CloseApp.zip
spv_m3100_orange_homescreen_194.zip: This is the Today screen from the Orange ROMs.

WM5NewMenu.CAB: This is the program/tool from most of the AKU ROMs.
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Universal/Tools_and_programs/WM5NewMenu.CAB
I have put up these programs to share with the community. However until it's moved to the main Universal folder out of the Uploads folder I am not held responsible for any manipulation to these files. The modified by date on the files when i put them up were: 24.01.2007 3:31PM for the Currency zip file while the other three were: 24.01.2007 3:20PM.

Where is radio 1.14? I am looking at ftp://[email protected]/Universal/Radio/ and the highest radio is 1.13 and it says T-Mobile Germany. Is it safe to use also when not in Germany? And were is 1.14?
FYI:
ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/Universal/Radio
Here's the working link
Radio in upload folder
The date on the file matches the one that I have on my PC and which is installed on my set so I'm guessing it's the same. Could have sworn that was in the Universal folder instead of the Uploads. There's a Radio named "1.4.10" ... I'm guessing this is a typo? Since it's in the main Universal folder that means that its real? Anyone try that file?
The date on 1.4 is 15/11/2005, the date on 1.14 is 23/10/2006 and the contents differ.... so I guess one is indeed 1.4 rather than a typo!

If you check via TriX Firmware files. Then Contents.xml is in *.FFS... maybe edit before flashing. Then changes in both files on handset.

You dont need modif ffs or other just use pfs file to modif what you want and in real time direct phone flash pfs file and not have write protect problem
Just says Thank
Example file : dont give attention of boot img cause i dont take time to do it in 800x480 but its 400x240 then its make bug but with pfs file you can upload anything you want to change !!!
Good hack !!!
Maybe with this you can create dual boot or i dont know what a pro smoker can do, you can also try to put her rc2 or rc1 directory i dont try it !!!
Download example, in this one you can see SystemFS and Registry directory, off course you can put her all directory you want to flash pfs, using trix to modified or wave remaker more faster :

An idea its like you can make your one firmware with personal Widget installed and other idea welcome....Just take file registry and Widget folder on phone and put it on PFS

I want to start doing some FW modifications of my own, but I have some trouble finding a good place to start. Even with using the search function . Maybe someone can point me to some good links to get started?
Here's what I want to be able to do:
Customize FW settings (such as percentual battery display)
Move preinstalled apps from one FW to another
Remove apps from FWs (such as Caster or Music Hub)
Remove CSCs, languages, keyboards
Hack the Firmware to identify as Wave 3
Make stuff like Caster or Music Hub uninstallable
Basically, what I want to do is to make a customized FW that will have a lot of application memory free and will therefore be able to play any game (such as Asphalt 6, Tintin). I'm thinking about leaving only those CSCs/languages/keyboards in that a specific region needs and, maybe, provide special files for multiple regions.

Risk that files are secured or write protected or changes take no effect...
Dataloss possible.
Depend on Firmware...
Type B.
