What to install from extended ROM

[Dylan]

I just did the hard reset / soft reset on my T-Mobile MDA Compact. I can now see the extended ROM.

My goal is to have all the functionality I need, without useless programs (E-mail wiz and others) taking up space. I also want as little branding as possible.

What do I need to install from the extended ROM?

you have to modify the config.txt in your Ext_Rom

Something like this for .cab file from Ext_rom

CAB: \Extended_ROM\PPCTahoma.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\Registry_p02.ARM.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\Version_AKU2a.sa.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\VideoMMS.sa.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\VNKbrd2K3Lite.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\Wisbar1.3.CAB
...

and this for .cab file from Storage card

CAB: \Storage\AM.cab\ArcReader.CAB
CAB: \Storage\AM.cab\DateMate.CAB
CAB: \Storage\AM.cab\FastCleanup.CAB
CAB: \Storage\AM.cab\MMS16012_WWE.sa.CAB
...

So you will have 32mb for you prefered sofwares

Just make sure that they are correct - other wise.... :(

Thanks, but I understand HOW to make an extended ROM config.

Let me rephrase my question:

On the MDA Compact extended ROM, there are a number of programs that would normally be installed by default. Which of these do I really need (should I install)?

Hy Dylan,

there is no 'optimal' configuration for the extended rom. There are no programs in it which are needed to work as a phone. You should install all programs for the camera and maybe MMS.

All other programs are options (in my opinion)

sorry bad dial-up :oops:

I was wondering the same.. For some of the items it's obvious what they do but for some it's not.. Which ones does one 'need' ?
