Do we have a Special Edition WM 2003 ROM??

Please dont bash me, if this has been answered.. but, I searched and couldnt find tha answer.. (n00b!)
Also, if somebody could tell me how I can cook a ROM that REMOVES all T-Mobile CRAP (like pdf viewers, etc)...
That way, I can have additional memory for my apps (32 is not enough on my XDA)..
Thanks

If i may quote one of the developers:
Special Edition Roms are out, Rom ccoking is in.....
So this would be the one and only "special edition".

Thanks for the reply LumpiStefan!
I cooked the ROM for my XDA 1, using your website. It is great, but, please tell me how I can remove the crap ClearVue programs, and other STUFF that T-Mobile puts in the ROM..
Is it possible that I can install only the RAW Microsoft distributed Pocket PC Phone Edition?
(I just want to maximize the space on my ROM)...
Thanks for the great site! Super!
Thanks in advance for replies..!

This is totally the opposit idea of the kitchens ... ROM space is wasted anyway if it's not filled with s/w ... you can't use it as RAM
go ahead and fill it with much s/w as you can

[Universal] Extended ROM unlocker !!!!!!!

YES YES YES
!!i just made extended ROM unlocker for Universal!!
THIS TOOL IS DEDICATED TO MWANG
get it here
Please test it and let me know...
It is very early release, so it does only unlock.
Later, i'll add also locking.
For unhiding Extended ROM i just need to create cab file.
Otherwise it's ready as well... Meanwhile you can display your extended ROM using TotalCommander for CE.
How to unlock:
Just copy it to your device and run it..

on hardreset, all customisations are run from Extended_ROM.
By default it is locked for writing with a password.
That means, you cannot add or remove programs, which are autoinstalled on coldinit.
Now you can.

Thank you very much....
Buzz,
Thanks for working on this. I realize that a lot of people are looking forward to "freeing" up memory by deleting the extended ROM (i.e. Big Storage). I'm one of them. Here's my question: Does this allow you to delete the files in EXT ROM? If so, are they PERMANENTLY deleted? Or can I "restore" them by reflashing my ROM from the ROM Image provided from imate's website? Sorry for the newbie questions.

Unlocking Extended ROM allows you to delete or add files into Extended ROM.
Files are permanently deleted or added.
Once you flash the device with new ROM, which contains ms.nbf (Extended ROM image), it's content is then flashed to the Extended ROM. That means there will be new content in there...
This is my first contrib to Universal, Exec, JJ community...
Next step can be the same as i did on Himalaya.
To get more storage space, e.g. remove the Extended ROM partition and make the Storage partition 10MB bigger.
well, if anyone wants that... ))

would it be safe to assume it works on the Wizard?

Excellent work Buzz! Thanks for answering my questions.

NO.
This will work only on Universal, O2 Exec, Dopod 900, Jasjar Qtek9000 etc...
If you want i can try to make one for Wizard...
buzz

I can see buzz being bought a wizard now too
Is 10Mb what we can expect as an increase in storage?
Too infinity and well beyond!
Hehehehehe

Nice
Congratulation with new tool. Now we can delete or copy files of extended ROM, we need to see and use ER as storage therefore unhide application also must be needed
Thanks
:wink:

Unlock JJ.. works like charm..
Thanks for the good work.. really really useful and save lot's of efforts to customize the machine after a complete installtion.
Keep up the good work.

where do i send it to?

Here Buzz

Excuse my lack of expertise, in PC terms is this similar to having a copy of the uninstalled o/s on your harddrive and is only required when you wanted to reinstall your o/s?
If so, would it be possible to empty the rom and only place one cab file which loaded all the required cab from SD? i.e. copy the rom to an SD and then be able to hard reset using the SD to reload the o/s?
How much space does the rom take up?
Regards
Simon

Cool Buzz! he is the man!! But....do i understand if u ru
Yoo Buzzie Buzz
Listen i have an question and a problem..the tool is cool no doubt about that. Now we can exclude some unecessary programs etc.
But my main question is does this remove the Simlock aswell? ?!? ?
Because there are a lot of people who cant use their MDA PRO properly because it has an simlock of T-Mobile......if this does not remove the simlock could you make an program that does...? I think it is now quitte easy cause the ext. rom is an open way.....
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE BUZZ and all others.....Help and make an Sim Unlock tool just like you all dit before for the Himalaya etc. etc.

Loading WinMobile 5 Without Built-in Apps

I have searched before posting this.
What I want to do is to reload Winmobile 5 onto my TyTN WITHOUT the built-in apps like calendar, word, etc also being loaded in. I would like to load up the phone app but not anything else.
Can this be done please? If so how?
Thanks
WB

I'm not an expert...but think you could try to cook your own ROM; modify the existing WM5 ROM you have and remove all the things you dont want to be there....
I don't know if the existing tools posted in the forum could also be used to modify a WM5 ROM...but could give it a try if you want.

Mablan

Mablan,
I was hoping it was a rather more simple process, such as using a special sequence of the bootloader to do this, rather than have to cook ROMS. Appreciate the thought though.
Anyone else able to throw some light on this question?
Thanks
WB

I am afraid most of the programmes are part of the operating system and you will not find a rom here customised to your specs, the last poster was right if you want a stripped out rom to your specs you had better get cooking that is the only way. Look on the Wiki under Hermes for the info you need if you are into D.I.Y.

Guys,
Thanks for the info. Ah well, looks like I'm either off to find a cooked ROM or I live with what I have got.
Cheers

Is there any clean WM 6.1 ROM

I'm looking for clean WM 6.1 ROM - i.e. no 3-rd party applications included - just as it is being shipped.
I want to customize it myself.

Hi osavioro,
I am working in a clean rom WM6.1, however it is half difficult to obtain aid this way…. it would be made use to cooperate?
I am constructing one based in the ROM of the SDK of the MS…

I'd love a clean install as well. I appreciate all the work the cookers do, but every 6.1 ROM has something I'd like to remove but can't. Unfortunately I don't have the skills to cook a vanilla ROM for myself.
I just use my Trinity for calender, contacts, phone and GPS navigation.

yeah me too

me too You can count me in guys. I would like to help to produce a clean 6.1. I already have some attempts on 19206 and 19701 builds.

This is my current rom and I like it a lot is pretty clean and stable,I don't lose my email, wifi settings.....give it a shot.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=364972

I would help ... but unfortunately I do not understand a bit about cooking ROMs.
Even more unforunately is that I don't have any spare time for learning, although it is quite interesting.

I am working to only create a clean ROM - WM6.1 with drivers for the P3600. Already I tried to get aid through the forum however I was not answered. I am using my PDA for the tests. As soon as possible I will be publishing a ROM Beta for tests. If possible, still it would like aid in this process.
To generate the ROM I tried to disassemble some ROMs of the forum to understand, however its creators had placed some protections, thing that I find that he goes against the principles of the cooperation.
I placed some topics questioning on what I would have to make and was not taken care of. For the S200 I found a ROM clean (Korand 3,1 - thanks!!! ) how I could work and transform into what I wanted, already for the P3600 is difficult, the people they do not want to help nobody, they only want that I make a donation!
I understand "hard work" that it is to generate a ROM, but I find that the knowledge the respect could be shared.
Thanks for all!

[REQ] Can Chefs make a VERY lite Opal ROM?

remove ALL unnecessary apps... JUST leave the Windows OS and don't put themes, make it ALL original Windows OS...
if the app can be installed in the storage card, why do you have to include it in your cooking?
i don't know what's the purpose of cooking roms if it doesn't make the phone faster, better and LIGHTER!
more MEMORY - the most important thing.
if i have the time i will learn how to cook the LIGHTEST ROM ever.
