Hi all,
I've upgraded to W2K5 on my XDA2. (respect to Buzz and all for their fantastic effort in making this possible) The Extended Rom is now unlocked/un-hidden
I'm confused about 1 thing. I've still got the orignal O2 extended ROM contents but after installing and hard resetting, I dont see the 'Customising' message and none of the CABs get installed.
This isnt a huge problem as I dont want most of them anyway but if I try to install them individually, the one I'm installing gives a message about removing the previously installed Customization Tools.
1. is the only way to install a few of these CABs to cook my own extended ROM?
2. Why would the original O2 extended ROM contents not even attempt to install after upgrading to W2K5/hard reset?
3. Is there a way to install individual CABs from the O2 extended ROM without the previously installed one being removed?
Many thanks in advance for any advice.
you can install whatever you like but
keep in mind that some programs there will not work in BUZZmobile 2005
search the ftp for a 2577 zip files there is the best colection made for BUZZmobile by another god thats really good ;-)
Really sorry - can someone point me in the direction of a tool that unlocks the extended ROM for a Wizard? I'ves searched but I can't find Am I being blind?
I need to free up some space and want to get rid of those imate .tsk files but need to unlock the ROM first.
Thanks
Mat

Ok Total commander gives you access to the extended rom using the method just posted above.
But if you want to actually have the extended rom showing all time, then you need this...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=33680&highlight=extended+rom
The extended rom unlocker will give the actual extended rom as space deginated extended_rom2 and its about 9.85mb size or something with between about 350kb and 2.5mb of .cab files in it depending on whether its a Qtek (Which has the least amount of files), I-mate, o2 or T-Mobile, these last two probably (along with Orange) will have the most 'junk in them.
Once you have ran the exteneded rom unlocker and soft reset your device it will be accesible through file explorer you won't need TC.
You can then go in and delete (be careful to make sure what everything does first) its your own responsibility, and remove what you don't need.
For example on the I-mate Extended Rom you cane remove Backgammon, Skype and the anti virus prog. There wasn't much on the Qtek Rom I just put on mine just clearvue and soemthing else inconsequential, there was no skype or antivirus, but I believe some Qtek roms might have this.
T-Mobile is abother story, there is a shedload of crap in the extended rom, ranging from a today screen toolbar to small progs, there is list knocking about of what each file does. When I changed from T-Mob to I-mate and then Qtek I just transferred the T-Mobile GPRS settings and the GPRS disconnect button .cab and put them in the exteneded Rom myself and let it run.
Also on I-mate Rom there are carrier settings that you can delete which won't apply to you, basically lots fo countries phone settings, like o2 UK, T-Mobile Spain etc etc, depending on where you are in the world.
You can't delete the I-mate .tsk todayscreens as far as I know, they are not in the ExtRom. The Qtek ExtROm doesn't have the extra .tsk's just default and the Guava Bubbles one.
If anyone wants the T-Mobile GPRS .cab and GPRS disconnect button .cab I can send it through msn or email.
that doesn't work either. I treid with the unlocker and deleted the files with TC. If i check the content no files are there, but when i try to copy other files to the ext. Rom it says that the volume is write protected. I softreseted several times also.
Any hint on that ? How have all the others deleted the files in extended rom ?

Might not work for you but it worked for me and a load of others. Once the extended rom is visible you can delete files easily, you don't need TC like I said. Its easier to put additional cabs into my documents sync them across and just run them.
Yeah, that's a pitty.... I have the Vodafone VPA Compact II, which is the Wizard 100 afaik.
Someone around here has the same model and succeeded in removing the cabs from the extended rom ?

well general, depends on the OS you are using..
if you have rom version 1.6.x.x it won't work easy yet.
the pre 1.6.x.x roms are quite simple, download totalcommander for ppc, install it, run it, in the adress-bar type "\extended_rom\" without the " " 's, and voila, there they are..
good luck..
ps.
the search button on top of this page would give the oppertunity to search for words as extended rom in de wizard forums.. :wink:
Ok
Thanx works fine with TC
Just a last question, all cabs i place in extended_rom will install automatically after hard reset ?
'cause I saw i had a autorun.exe file in there and some sutomization cabs that install after Hardreset ???
Thanks

There's a config file in there too (can't remember it's name off hand, but it's fairly obvious). This has a list of the cab files to install after a hard reset. I guess you'd need to add your cab files to that list as well as copying them to extended ROM.

depends, some have a config.txt file, if you open this one and edit it to your
needs, the files you put into it will be installed after hard reset, if you
set the right parameters from the txt file.
other roms have the autorun.exe wich installs all the files in the extrom.
i'm not sure anymore if this is right, but i believe that if you rename your
cab's like this:
applicationX.cab -> Default_applicationX.cab
it will install without any problems.
if you have problems with unsigned cabs, you can use the signed.patch
wich can be found on the ftp.
On my Cingular 8125 the extended ROM is write protected, does anyone know how do I remove the write-protection?

Only way around is to flash an older rom into your handset..

Here it is
i couldn't find it on the ftp anymore as well..
i'll put it there again, but here it is for you
if it's that easy to get into extended rom, then why do people release the unlockers for extrom? i don't get it.

you can access the files on the extended rom, but you can't edit any of the information there. you have to flash a new extended rom image for any changes to take effect. I think those that are looking at the extended rom unlockers is for a different purpose. I think I read somewhere that it let some people use the extended rom space as extra storage (~10 megs), but it messed up applications on the phone, especially the camera.
in general, it doesn't seem to be a good idea to unlock the extended rom. most rom builders look like they are trying to learn how to edit this properly to add it o their rom kitchens.
can one's extended rom go curropt?
after i heard about this, i went into extended rom just to see if it works.
and it did. i exited total commander and started to gather my anti theif program to get installed.
now I go back into extended rom, and everything became gibberish!
and when i click on something it says "error 3 Changing to dir!"
WTF is going on!
can someone help me out?
Can someone share with me about how to uninstall the pre-installed softs in O2 atom and how to access the ATOM extended rom.
I have already tried to install some extended rom in this forum, but it doesn't work. If you know one which works out well, please tell me how can I get it.
With the previous O2 model, after hard reset, we can soft reset during the installation of the attached software. However, with o2 atom, I can see no installation process for the attached software. I want to know about how to uninstall these software as I don't really need to use all of them.
Thanks all
Attached is a small app, install it, rest it your atom and you should be able to access your extended rom, be carefull though of what you do, advice to copy the content of the e.rom to your sd card in case you have to undo any changes.
MOst of the software which is preinstalled on XDA ATOM is into the rom image , in the extended rom there are some files, thets why you dont see any instalation after flashing, because the apps are already installed with the rom

Bothe the XDA Atom and the HP iPAQ hw6915 and rx6815 are made by Quaranta. The extended ROM of my hw6915 isn't able to unhide with the registry hacks I had from the HTC devices.
Could the above unhide cab be installed on my hw6915 and if neccesary be UNinstalled ? Could the underlying registry hack be provided ?
Many thanks in advance.
EDIT:
The .cab installs on the hw6915, but the extended ROM isn't shown. The unlocker does the same as the extended ROM unlock on HTC devices.
I hate the green look & feel but changed to the South African TyTn ROM as reccomended here. Now, the dialer, the Comm Manager and others are Green. I would like to give the phone the entire JasJam look & feel without HR. Any idea how should I do it?
goto the wiki and download the cab file from the extended ROM.
No good... :-(
The problem is that I cannot write into the exended ROM in this version. I always get an error: Media Protected.
I tried fit4cat & the cab from WIKI. Both did not help. Is there a way for me to run this from another place than the Ext. ROM?
hi, once you downloadthe extended rom from the wiki, just extract all the cabs to your PC and copy the required CAB to your devices main memory or sd card. then run it from your ppc.
it shoudl work, you dont have to copy it to your ext.rom
Thanks mate for trying to help but I'm afraid it does not work for me. Took JasJam Ext. ROM and tried to run it from the memory card. It says "customizing" but I keep "enjoying" the HTC green. I have no idea why but somehow the i-mate skins do not appear in the Today settings after I install the CAB.
Don't run the auto-run. Just run each cab file one at a time.
which cab file deom the jasjam ext.rom do i need in order to get the imate blue skin?
Running all the cabs from the SD does not work for me. Which cab is creating this skin? Am I the only one who doesn't like the TyTn green?
no ronen!
i want to have the JASJAM as well! the green thing is ugly!
i have the trinity (it use the name green look & feel) as the TYTN.
what do i need to install in order to have the JASJAM look and feel?
רונן אחי הוא מדהים!! מכשיר מדהים
I have the same problem as RonenB. Alos for South Africa with the same ROM.
Has anyone resolved this issue yet?

Looking and searching everywhere, I couldn't find an answer to the same problem.
Running the Qtek AUK 3.3 ROM, I can then install a blue skin, however, the colours used in the dialer make it hard to read: black text, on blue button.
I have manually installed all the cab file located in the original JasJam EXTROM, but it will not change the green/lime colour used by default in the Qtek.
If I reset the jasjam with the Qtek ROM just after a hard reset, then it'll use the blue skin (which appears to be the default) but in this case the smart dialler will not be activated.
Thanks for your answers.
