Adding programs to rom image

[d00k]

I now have a select few programs i use with my XDA II (sprite, Informant etc etc) which i would like to incorporate into a rom image for when i hard reset my XDA II. I also want to remove all the 02 stuff as i use the phone in Spain.

ER2003edit can do this from what i can see, but i would like to get the exact rom image of what i have already as it works fine.

any links much appreciated.
PS is there a program to make the files i want to auto install into cabs ?

1.66.00WWE
02/20/04
1.10.00
1337.18
1.66.181

02 XDA II, jabra bt200, kingston 256 sd,tomtom BT gps (all runs flawlessly)

You can get the original extended ROM (that is on your XDA at the moment) from http://www.my-xda.com/downloads/xda2_upgrade_download.html

Open it in ER2003Edit and remove everything apart from:

Broadcast_WWE.sa.CAB
CameraRC132_WWE_1.5.sa.CAB
OEM_WWE_04021801.CAB (might not need this, not sure)
Version_AKU1.sa.CAB

Everything else you can get rid of if you want, things like TaoJava might be useful though.

As far as getting the CAB files for any apps you want to install, that's easy. First, install the app from your PC to your Pocket PC. Then on your PC go to c:\program files\Microsoft Activesync\ and there should be a folder for every app you've ever installed. Copy the CAB file (or the CAB file with ARM in the name if theres more than one) into the ROM.

Remember to update the Config.txt file in the ROM after you've done all this.

thanks for the detailed reply, everything seems clear enough.
The only problem though is the rom version i have is different to the one posted on the web site, and would really like to stick to this version as it runs flawlessly. the rom i need is :

1.66.00WWE
02/20/04
1.10.00
1337.18
1.66.181


thanks
