Idea for Anansky and those who can cook ROM for us

[Artosoft]

Just an idea for Anasky and others,

Why don't we create small ExtROM with only minimal necessary file and xBACKUP program to restore previous Data from SD card.

If we have complete backup data on SD card, we can restore back from SD card after Hard Reset. And we have big \storage folder size, since the ExtROM is small. This way we still can recover from Hard Reset and restore all program to RAM.

Just my 2 cents :lol:

Arto.

"minimal necessary" may have different definition for different people.

For me, I like the current idea to fully get rid of the ExtROM and install whatever we like afterward.

Jackleung,

Yes, but if you are far away from PC, and suddenly run out of battery, and your devices need hard reset......

Not everyday happend, but who knows :lol:

Another question: Is the now bigger storage usable for automatically installing software after a hardreset? Is it used instead of the (now missing) Ext_Rom for auto-install?

hi!

divide space between \storage and ExtROM can be done easyly, but i know only one good use -
place some apps to ExtROM which MUST start HIDDEN after hard reset,
now i know only one app which require this method:

:)

any other apps, and apps was at ExtROM too, can be run from any place -
SD card or \Storage

xBackup resides in OS ROM, so, after hard reset it will appear and can be use for restoring backup from SD card or \Storage, so we don't need to place it to ExtROM fs.

Anansky,

So do you mean actually if the ExtROM is nothing inside, maybe some parameter to adjust \storage space, we can hard reset and get xBackup to restore the RAM to its working condition before we flashing empty ExtROM?

This could be the easier way for ExtROM to get max \storage space and working magician :lol:

Thanks!

[anansky]

yes, of course.

programs from extrom installed to RAM and after you restore they restored too!

you can download programs in ExtROM from ftp and instll it manually, from sd card for example.

Anansky,

Just my curiouscity.

Actually where is the modification for 27mb \storage take place? On the ROM or on the ExtROM?

Thanks!
Arto

Hi ANANSKY,

Why don't you tell others, what modifications you did in the ROM?
Please don't tell me the bullshit like "it is too complicated" and such...
I know what I'm doing...

We are hunting the missing RAM in wm2k5, maybe it will help if you FINALLY tell the story...

At least if you'd answer something like "NO, I will keep it for myself only".

This forum is here for sharing the knowledge i guess...
