MDA Pro and the bundled Ext Rom apps

[joebongo]

Hi,

I want to know if:

1. Any are necessary, or useful to install.
2. If any of them slow the device down

Just got my MDA Pro on first charge now, and I am thinking of hard resetting and then doing a soft reset to bypass the customising, but don't know if I will miss out on anything worth having.

Thanks,

Joe

You can allways install the extrom later by downloaden the extended roms of the Imate and MDA-pro and choosing the cabfiles you want to install.

I did it that way.

Yes, it's simply knowing which files are which, eg: which one has MSN on it?

Is there any way of finding out which cab does what?

[gpsenzo68]

msn is nog in the extended rom because if you cancel the installation of the extended romfiles MSN is already installed

So, the ext rom on a MDA Pro actually removes MSN mobile? Is that what you are saying here?

[gpsenzo68]

No I'm saying that if you skip the install of the extended rom msn is already installed so its part of the normal rom update.

Thanks for the clarification. I am avoiding updates for a few days as I am in a trial period wiht the device and can't decide if 40mb/month is enough.

If I keep it, then the update seems to be the way forward.
