Somebody asked me about this through pm.
My advice is to:
- upgrade to the newest shipped English CE ROM (O2 1.11 or JAM 1.12)

- change it to BigStorage (Two-byte method)

- upgrade the radio to 1.13 (newest)

- install ROS Chinese support and HWPenCE

http://www.pdabase.com/download/SoftView.asp?SoftID=2635
- clean install all other programs
The rationale is as follows:
- English ROMs run faster than Chinese ROMs and have less compatibility issues for softwares
(you can just upgrade the CE ROM, i.e. nk.nbf, by renaming the Extended ROM ms.nbf and the radio rom radio.nbf)
- It is now very safe to use the Direct Method to get BigStorage and you can install most of your softwares to Storage
- The newest radio ROM 1.13 is by far the best and the most stable
- ROS Chinese supports both Traditional and Simplified Chinese, and occupies the least memory. It supports SMS in Chinese even better than Chinese ROMs
- HWPenCE is similar to and even better than the Hand Recognition built into Chinese ROMs
- It is more reliable to reinstall the programs after upgrade, unless you are familiar with the advanced features of Sprite Backup, in particular their add-on utility for ROM upgrades
I think I don'd understand what really is the extended rom.... Can you help me?

Search the forum. It has been discussed plenty.
The Extended ROM is a special part of the ROM, that is used of the providers to add their own and additonal files, that have to be installed on the first use of this device. It only have Programs and Reg-Settings in it. Afetr the installtion of this programs, the Memory Part of the extended ROM is useless for the device. You can't access the extended ROM and you can not save data on this memory....
Therefore the bigStorage hack is used to free this memory-part.

Many thanks!
So... I'm Italian and I buoght my Jam with std Italian ROM.
I like to have Engl leanguage on all my devices so I hack the Country ID and I installed the WWE ROM.
It works fine but I lost some of Italian configuration and some applications (e.g. eTrust antivirus)...
I think that these applications are contained on Italian Extended ROM... is it right?
If is it right... can I install the Italian extended ROM in the WWE ROM?
Or... can I extract the eTRust antivirus and install it on my WWE ROM?
Yes, you should be able to install the programs of the italian extended ROM on the WWE ROM. Since most of the tools are os independet it should be no big problem.
The QtekS100_ITA_1.03.151 ExtRom is on the FTP. If your version was newer or anything else, than you have to get the files by yourself.....

By using Total Commander PPC You can Navigate to your extended rom by typing in the Location bar "\Extended_Rom".
Once you are browsing the extended rom - you can add and delete files as necessary.
Rom Version 1.12.2.23 WWE (11/14/05)
Ext Rom Version (1.12.02.110)
