How to control order of app launch after soft reset?

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?
Thanks

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

PLEZZ-How prepare the EXT Rom Writable&Visible on hardre

Hey guys,
I am trying to create my EXTENDED ROM so that on Hardreset will automatically make the EXT ROM writable AND visible with the name "ExtROM"

Notice I've added Buzz UNI_ext_rom_unlock.exe at the end. But Buzz's just unlocks the ext. rom for writing... Now I also want the Config.txt to automatically make the nessecary Registry tweaks to make the Ext. Rom VISIBLE.. That is, without making manual tweakings. How do I go about making the required change to the Config.txt to apply the right registry settings for that?
BTW:
I would prefer it to be visible with the name "ExtRom" or "Storage", rather than the default "Extended_Rom", that is according to Buzz suggestion as to avoid it be called Extended_Rom2 or making the StorageCard called StorageCard2 later on.
Please guys.. make my day And let me donate to both XDA-Developers and Buzz site as making me happy )
Cheers,
MOBILER

In theory all you should need to do is install the Uni_ExtRom_unlocker.cab but this cab file is defective and writes the wrong value to the registry. I would suggest waiting until someone post a cab with the correct values for the registry.

The Extended_Rom is already readable. Just use Total Commander to look at it. Goto Total Commander and type in \Extended_ROM and you can see its contents. I have never had to change the registry to view it on the universal. Had to see it on Blue Angel. Not sure how to rename it, but i have seen it in one of threads here or over at buzznet.
Maybe its just on the Jasjar, but its always been available to see it. Even immediately after upgrading to the latest rom.
If you want to write to it, just the run the uni_unlocker and then copy in your prepared extended_rom.
Attached is a cab file that I used today to install the unlocker to enable writing to the extrom. This cab also has the registry settings, While dah seems to say ot doesn't work. it works for me. And the registry setting he talks about is not G31 in this cab.

Interesting...
This Uni_ExtRom_unlocker.cab is not the same as the Uni_ExtRom_unlocker.cab I downloaded 2/24/2006 and has the corrected value for DriverPath. Now if they would change "ExtendedROM" to ExtROM" we would be set.
Thanks

Thanks dah54 and eagle 1,
I know I need to the use the Total Commander, but that's exactly the problem. I don't want to use the TC, because I want it to be visible just like a normal storage card, so that i would be able to directly install software there, and not just being able to access it via total commander, that is I already do.

And that's been my point, over the last few days, the CABs files here where faulty. Try the version of eagle 1's cab (in the 3rd post) it should do all most all that you want, the name will be ExtendedROM but the normal file explorer will see the Extended ROM as a storage card, and you will not require any additional software. Install this version, run the program, turn your device off, wait 5 minutes, then soft reset with the button. You should see the ExtendedROM folder.
Note>> If you wait after turning your device off, this gives the Universal time to write the changes made to the registry, to the registry. If you simply soft reset and the changes have not been written to the registry your Extended ROM will not be seen. Then you must re-install the program to get the registry values reloaded to the registry!

Thanks a lot dude!! time for some donations to this great board!

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
Moti

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

Hmm.. total commander is a PPC software? You mean read the extended rom of my PPC?
I wanna read the ext rom of another device.. but I do not have it. I only have the ROM installer.
How?

Run the .exe (on your PC) as if you are installing the ROM. After the contents have been extracted and you are asked if you want to continue, just browse to the \Windows\Temp folder and you will se the extracted contents. This has been described in the Atom section last post by Apu http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=268005&page=7&highlight=New+atomi+rom
If it is a WinImg file you would need that program to "look inside"

Don't understand that,
Using: XDA Orbit
I connected the Orbit with my desktop pc and run the "RomUpdateUtility.exe" on my desktop pc, continued the first 2 steps ( "I understand..." "i complete..." ) and canceled then. But there is no extended rom on my desktop pc (C:\Windows\Temp) or Pocket PC (Windows or Windows\Temp)
...What i'm doing wrong?
I think, if i press "Update" in the "RomUpdateUtility.exe" it will update my Pocket PC - or not?

You don't have to cancell. Just stop there and look in the temp folder. You can cancell after you have copied the contents of tep somewhere

But there is nothing...really!

I have HTC P3300 with 1.12.405.01 WWE. Can I and should I use this update? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for all the tips.
All I could find is "RUU_signed.nbh".
Upon searching further, I found the following site:

But I can't seem to understand much out of it. Ya guys care to explain? I don't mind uploading the nbh file for ya guys to try out If the ext_rom contains the audio booster software, it will benefit many Artemis users

Configuring Extended ROM under newly released 3.35.651.2 ROM update

Hello all,
I have a Sprint Mogul (PPC-6800/HTC Titan) and recently updated to the new ROM posted on the HTC website (3.35.651.2). I'm somewhat of a newbie, although I've done some PPC Hacking and configuring with my previous phone PPC-6700.
Unlocking the Ext_ROM on that phone and editing the config.txt file was pretty straight forward with all of the posts on sites like these. I've had trouble finding posts on unlocking the Extended ROM on the Mogul and no post on editing the config.txt file.
I eventually found a program (Schap's Advanced Configuration Tool - see attached) on this site which appears to actually be for phones on another carrier, but it does help to unhide and unlock my Extended ROM.
Upon Unlocking the Extended ROM, I encountered the following .cab and other files:
AddContact
AddContest.exe
AutoRun.exe
Config.txt
DefaultRingtone.sa.CAB
GetGL.CAB
GroveMobile_plugIn.sa.CAB
Hidden.CAB
IOTA.CAB
MoveLnk.sa.CAB
Rilphone2.CAB
signed_071210_7500_SPCS_2.00_PRL60610.sa.CAB
And the contig.txt file (see attached) contains the following:
LOCK:Enabled
CPY1:\Extended_ROM\AddContact
CPY2:\Windows\AddContact
EXEC:\Windows\RUN_SPRINT_TSK.lnk
EXEC:\Extended_ROM\AddContacts.exe
CAB: \Extended_ROM\signed_071210_7500_SPCS_2.00_PRL60610.sa.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\GetGL.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\Hidden.CAB
EXEC:\Windows\PPST.exe
CAB: \Extended_ROM\IOTA.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\Rilphone2.CAB
CAB: \Windows\AudibleAir_SprintPPC.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\GroveMobile_pulgIn.sa.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\DefaultRingtone.sa.CAB
CAB: \Windows\ondemand_6800_boot.arm.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\MoveLnk.sa.CAB
EXEC:\Windows\ChgScutAttri.exe
LOCK: Disabled
RST: Reset
My question is what is safe to remove and how can I update my config.txt file to maximize the performance of my Mogul.
Thanks.

A shame no one has responded yet, as I'd like to know the answers to these questions too! Haven't gotten around to unlocking my ROM yet, but it was quite simple on my PPC6700.

From what I know, you only need the IOTA, Hidden and signed_071210 cabs. IOTA.cab will enable Sprint data services, and signed(etc).cab/Hidden.cab installs ppst.exe and other files.
You will have to copy out your config.txt file to your computer, change the Read Only attribute, then edit as you wish. I've read you need to keep the "EXEC:\Windows\PPST.exe" entry in the config.txt file as it enables something with GPS. Once you're done editing the config.txt file, enable the Read Only attribute and copy back to the Ext_ROM folder, choosing to overwrite the existing one.
I would suggest copying the contents of your Ext_ROM folder first and saving it to your SD card or desktop before deleting/modifying anything, just in case you need something later.
Hope this helped.
