Extended_ROM

[ah_book]

Hi all,



Need your advice. I just found that under the below memory i have an additional storage (Named Extended_ROM), it is 15.97MB & used 15.18MB, free only 0.79MB. Do you have any idea what is the storage for? Can I remove & free some memory? Thanks

I am currently on ROM 2.06. When i check with my pals, who is still at ROM 1.66, they do not have this additional Storage.


Start/Setting/System/Memory/Storage Card

I have 3 options
a. Storage Card (my 256MB SD card)
b. Extended_ROM (Dont know what this is)
c. Storage (Should be XDAII memory)

This part of ROM (Read Only) is allocted for extra (region or operator) related bundle that is customizable to owners liking 8)

It is untouchable except that it is customizable :!:

You can add and remove from and to it just like your typical folders...for instance, the camera, album, operator based codes and other stuff are among the Ext_ROM :)

Hi :o

Ext_rom is the most important place when a Hard Reset (format) happen.

The Ext_rom has all the programs that is installed when a Hard Reset happen. So, if you delete it, you will not be back to normal when you do a Hard reset.

Usually the Ext_rom is hiddn so no body touch it.

In case you want your Ext_rom to have some special program that will be loaded every time you do a format, you need to add the programs in the Ext_rom.

Look carfully in the Ext_rom and you will find a file called "config.txt".

You can open and read the config.txt file.

In this file you will see a list of commands in some order.

These comands are the programs that will be loaded or installed each time you have to do a format (Hard Reset)

I hope this give you some information.

:D

Hi all,

Is there anyway i can make it disappear or so called hidden it & not show under my memory storage? As mentioned, My extended Rom is shown whereas my frens XDA II & XDA IIs doesnt, both on original rom.
