In my company I'm not allowed to enter a camera and I would like to disable it.
I have S200 with ROM 2.9.7.106
I have read some articles that talk about removing some CAB fles from extended rom.
My config.txt in the Extended rom is:
LOCK:Enabled

Can I have explenation on the different CABS?
does any body know what is the CAB that install the camera?
I tried to delete the camera.exe ffile from window directory but the file is marked ROM and cannot be deleted.
Can anyone suggest how to disable the camera?
Thanks

james bond!
you need to talk with james bond MI5
You can overwrite the camera.exe (which I am pretty sure is in actual ROM and has nothing to do with the extended) with en empty file with the same name.
This will prevent it from being launched, but the real question is will the security people in you company trust you to not re-enable the camera?

How do "overwrite" a file that is in actual ROM. I cannot rename is so I do I overwite?
Just drop the file in windows directory. What happens is: the file you copied is placed in program memory (flash) but because it has the same name and is in the same directory it "hides" the original file from anyone trying to access it.
Make sure the file is not in use when doing this.
Thank's
I did that using resco explorer and it worked. Istill need to convince security that it is a good solution.
What will happen after Hard / Soft reset. will the original file come back ??
Soft reset will have no effect, but hard reset will erase the replacement file.
Now let's hope they won't make you physically dismantle the camera or get another phone

hi,
i don´t want that on every hard reset my phone turns back in the t-mobile settings.
I don´t want any settings there. I want to do the settings for my self.
How can I do this?
How must i modify the /extended_rom directory?
Which cabs-files contain these settings?
thanx & regards

I've searched, couldn't find it, I know it must exist. Can someone point me to the right place that shows out how to do it?

For those who are using O2mini............
In order to save some rom memory for your device to run faster and smoother, I would like to share with you all the method of viewing the extended rom on O2mini and install only those useful .cab file.
1. Backup whatever neccessary, perform a hard reset.
2. Follow the screen instruction, align screen, etc...
3. when the screen show setup is complete. Tap the screen to begin using your device, get ready your stylus pen, one tap on the screen and when you see "today" screen appear, do a soft reset immediately.
Well, you are now halfway to finish the slimming course
4. Now in your mini, you'll realise there's one new folder called "Extended_ROM" under your file explorer.
5. Build a "Guest" partnership and copy this folder to your PC.
6. Disconnect the sync.
7. ok, let's start to do some hanky panky things on your mini's extended rom........
8. Tap this file ------ Delete_vdisk_shortcut_WWE.sa.CAB
9. And tap the following files
O2_User_Angent.sa.CAB (this one must install if you want to use O2plus)
Patch_103_7.sa.CAB
Patch_WWE_103155.sa.CAB
Version_WWE_103166.sa.CAB14.
10. ok, make sure you've done all the tapping and double tap this file "TPEnable.exe" to unlock.
11. that's it, softreset your device and now you can see the different.
You can do some memory comparison before & after. Dont worry, your device will be back to normal if you do a hardreset again. everything will be fine.......
try it.....
After gone through the Extended_ROM, i found a file called 'Config.txt'. This looks like a script for autoinstallation all the cabs after a hardreset.
Check this out:

Above are all the cabs I installed on my Mini except those with remark "not installed". That means, about "7135KB" cab files i did not installed & yet it doesnt meant I have saved that amount of spaces cause some of the cabs will auto delete specific files after an installations.
So my estimated amount space saved is about 5.4MB.
Now I have no prob with GPRS, MMS & O2 Connect/Plus.
Wow, a lot of work and reading there. Why not just download sktools 4.0 and have it do it for you? Much easier than going through all of that imo.
you might want to check under '\windows\startup' some of the links here can be safely removed if you want copy it to another folder like '\windows\startup_backup' so if you make a mistake then you can undo it. personally i have 5 items in startup. the rest i moved to my backup folder. i noticed a slight increase in spped after soft reset.

@minhtv:
hi, i followed all your steps, but very strange, after the last step (softreset) i found i still have only 7mb left in storage... didnt change from the original installation with all the ext rom.. any thing wrong? oh, i could nt find these 2 files in my ext rom folder:
Patch_103_7.sa.CAB
Patch_WWE_103155.sa.CAB
and, when i double click tpenable, nothing happened.. but i did clicked it many times just to make sure...
any idea?? thanks
Hi,
Im using O2Auto.sa.cab (O2 Auto Network Configurations). I have put all of the networkxxxx.cab files in my Storage.
The problem is when I run the O2 Auto Network program and set it to configure other networks, the networkxxxx.cab are deleted.
The question is how can I prevent my cab files from getting deleted?
I have tried read-only options archive options already but they are still deleted once the cab file has been run.
Please can anyone help me out?
Thanks in advance
I see 2 solutions :
- You use CabInstl and check "Do not delete CAB file"
- On your PC or PPC you edit the file properties and Check Attributes "Read Only"

Hi DocteurN,
Im not sure if thats going to work because I need use the program O2 Autoconfig, and this program automatically select which cab files to install. (the program runs the AutoConfig.txt file below and selects cab files for specific network); although all the cab files have been set to read-only, the O2 AutoConfig program still manages to delete them :evil:
What I need is a program to set premission on the cab files or the folder themselves so that they cannot be deleted by any program.. hope you understand what Im talking about :?
Thanks for the input by the way.

Preventing the CAB to be deleted
Use Resco Explorer or other that can manage the file attribute. Make the file attribute to read only (+R). Works with me the CAB won't be deleted.

Im also using Resco Explorer.. and the cabs have been set to read-only..
but the AutoConfig program still manages to delete the read-only cabs :evil:
I guess its the Autoconfig program is overriding the read-only properties of the cabs..
hmmmmm... not sure what I can do other than cracking up the AutoConfig program to not to delete the cabs..
Thanks for the input tho :wink:

Cabinstl is what you need. It works great for me.
Hello all,
When came across to do NO install on ExtROM (or say, custom ExtROM installation), seems we are just blind guess and just use the method of "trial-and-error" to install cab inside ExtROM.
Do anyone have file details about them? or share your findings about ExtROM?

Um, what's the question?
You can't easily unlock the Magician's ExtROM anyway, so you can't change the files in it. It MAY be possible to install your own CABs in it if you could get the files unlocked, by altering the config.txt and having a read-only CAB, but until the Magician ExtROM can be unlocked, it cannot be done.
I am not wondering the method how to delete those ext. rom information. Instead, I would like to know which cab is/are necessary, which is/are not.
It is based on the idea that "Default ExtROM always instead something eat your valuable RAM".
If you think it is fine for default installation, it is always fine.
I know people who don't need the camera and have successfully removed ALL CABs from their XDA II!
As a general guide, you need the Smart Dialling, Phone Pad, Camera, Java VM, Patch_WWE_103155 and Version_WWE_103166.sa.CAB files as a "minimum" to get a useable device. Without these, some core functions don't work.
You DON'T need TPDisable - in fact, by removing it, you get interactive prompts for each ExtROM CAB on a hard reset - allowing you to install the "core" files to an SD Card if you want! I wouldn't recommend it, as some SD Cards take too long to "boot" in soft-reset or standby modes, and can cause your PDA to hang.
You still can't delete the other files easily either though, as the locked ExtROM is still unable (as far as I know) to be unlocked on the Magician.
1st problem, WiFi doesn't seem to work... Have tried everything... read on some forums that it could be a solder job on one of the antenna wires... anyone got good pics of it so if i need to i can open it and fix this thing...

3rd and final the wrap up
****If any of this is on the forums already forgive me.. however Beta5 of FF3 is preventing me from using search on pretty much any website... ends up in timeout land.. ****
ANYWAY
I tried both the Universal and Apache ROM Unlocker (and the registry settings)... no luck... Any Solutions? Would love to get rid of half this crap...
Additionally it looks like they put Audible and other crap from sprint INTO the Windows Mobile 6 OS ROM area as it calls to them from the config.txt as shown above... what crap is that...
Well other thought is i was able to extract main installer and the NBH file from the sprint ROM update download (60megs) but I haven't been able to find out how to extract .NB files that came out of the .NBH file.. or decode them or whatever is needed to remote the crap i want gone and then reflash it...
Anyone got any suggestions/recommendations (besides using custom roms...) i just want to remove some things... nothing else.... maybe if i get daring find a way to change registry settings prior to install so i don't have to do all 20 of them i normally do when a hard reset occurs...
Thanks!
Not meaning to be a selfless bump however
Is it even possible to extract the .NB files that come from the main .NBH file?
I just spent 2 hours with the search on the site, found several who asked the same question but absolutely no answer...
So is it possible? (my thinking is it has to be other wise where did all the kitchen and other roms come from right?)
