Hi, sounds like your after the same info as me, I've been looking and not had any luck so far. Membership of the SD Card Association is $1500 US minimum. I'm not able to afford that :-(
So, if you find anything at all on the SD spec's, please pass the info on, and I'll do likewise.
Oh, the pinout, and a lot of other information, is available in the SD Associations sample specification (you have to join to get access to the rest of them) at :
http://www.sdcard.org/sdphysical_simplifyed_Ver101.PDF
..Chuck..

These Infos are very helpful for the first step. Loking forward to find additional Infos.
regards

How to achieve 40mb program memory?

I've read in somewhere in this forum that when you perform a softreset after a hardreset, you can get 40mb of program memory. Is this possible? I've tried performing a hardreset then softreset before installation of the cab files but my program memory stays at 25mb. I've already deleted my extension rom cab files but I can never get pass the 25mb of program memory.
Could someone please, please, please point me to the instructions in this forum on how I can have achieve a program memory that's greater than 25mb? I've really tried searching but I don't know if I'm just really bad at it or I'm just using the wrong keywords but I couldn't find anything that would answer my question. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I need a lot of program memory since every time I use Opera Browser and there are a lot of tabs open, my dopod818pro hangs. I think I'm actually regretting trading my Xda mini for the prophet.

Dont worry. Ill get you 2 applicatoins to add and youll have more storage... around 50MB not even 40! And youll get around 40% speed increase on ur phone compared to its original speed without any confusion. Email me at shivam (at) shivam (dot) info and ill get back to you.
Dont have too much time on the forum to post replies here. sorry.
Regards

Actually, he is talking about program memory, not storage memory.
Still, it would be nice to hear your solution. Why don't you post it here, instead of requesting for a private email? I am sure a lot of people would be very interested and grateful.

i, too, would certainly be interested in this "solution".
please post more info

I think they talk about unlocking the ext.rom and to delete all files in it !
Nice idea, but unfortunately, you cannot store Photos or Outlookdata on your Storagecard afterwards...Ideas?

Swap out microdrive?

Is it possible to crack open the Athena and replace the crap-tacular microdrive with, say, a 16GB compact flash card? I know that flash only has so many write/re-writes, but I'd fancy having a large storage space to keep music that won't change much.
What d'ya think?

Not a great start to your xda-devs life. Rather than starting a new thread try the button marked search (or you could even google xda-devs) and you might have come across this 5 page long discussion: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=306239

Excuse me, not a n00b here. I did in fact search first. Why would I go out of my way to type a question that someone may or may not have an answer to if I could find the answer with a search?
When I ran a search, it didn't bring up the thread you linked to, but nevertheless thanks for all your good-natured help.

how to cook a rom?

Hi, i have a HTC P4350 and there is not a lot of storage memory even if i install my programs on a sd card. My goal would be to learn how i can get rid of the programs i dont like that comes by default like IE or WinMedia player, replace messenger for a fixed one that work properly and if i can even add all my programs that i use to install all at the same time it would be even better. I want to save some place by doing that. I dont need IE if i have Opera. Stuff like that. Can someone out there give me some advice or even tell me i'm a douche bag that dont know nothing and dont deserve to have a intelligent advice?

(Dumb-ass question again) is there a how-to guide....??

seasons greetings!
have another question thats been bugging me sinse getting my Touch HD. this question is probably the equivalent of potty training...One i know how to do it there's no stopping me....
i've been reading various posts on people changing the fonts on their phone (cab files?) and upgrading the ROM (?) and obviously adding software to their phone to, but i dont get any of it. the thing i dont understand is how you install software that i've seen (is there a specific place on the phone?) add cab files (to where?) and what on earth is a ROM?
the last time i did anything like this was a few years ago to Orange SPV 500 and 550, but it was much easier for me to understand back then as is was all pretty basic. but now? im confused.com
i guess what im looking for is a HOW TO guide that i can follow and understand. can anyone point me in the right direction? or am i going to have to pee and poo all over the living room carpet before i actually hit the toilet???
adios!

I am new as well, but as far as I can help:
A .cab is much like an .exe on your PC, you can put it ANYWHERE you want really. To install, you simply navigate to where you have put it on your phone through the file explorer and run the .cab from there which will install the application.
I don't know anything about Roms I am afraid.

how to
just type "install cab pocketpc" in a google field, i'm sure your find what your looking for in the first five answers. I know it's could be hard to understand but this is a though forum: if you want to learn from the beginning here you got to search a lot and read more. That's what i'vedone or you google for simple words.
PS: Put the cab in your storage card from activesync, open file explorer in ppc, click your cab, choose where to install ( on ppc for everyday use, on storage for big files). Continue to ask but in the right thread. In french : "tous les grands chenes furent des glands". Rom is the "windows" you got in you ppc, it could be arrange , or modify before by someone (adding or suppressing)
NB/ edit: apologize, you can find people like ScarySquirrel How could you have 116 posts without flashing once ?

I guess your'e going to have to "pee and poo all over the living room carpet" as you so eloquently put it. Just read up the forum and use the search, using context clues to figure what you want to do. Around these parts, people aren't very keen on spoon-feeding info to people. Also check out the Blackstone wiki as well. The blackstone is slightly difficult to mod for newbies at this point due to it being so new, but i'm sure in a few months there will be .CAB files for pretty much everything.

Try this wiki page:

CABs are just like setup.exe files on Windows. I suggest you forget about ROMs if you are new for now.
