Unlock you Extended_Rom and Speed up you K-JAM!

[thereaperman]

During the installation (Customization) it installs a file called from the extended rom

Default_CAAVPPC_IMEI_Wiz_range

Which installs “eTrust Antivirus for Pocket Pc”

If you miss this out of the install no slow down etc

to remove the file you need total commander ppc.

install it on the k-jam run it and then at the top input \Extended_Rom\

and move the file to your storage card/other folder on the ppc, hardreset the device and no more slow down

** be careful what you delete tho as it could cause problems etc etc, which I can not be accountable for etc etc ***

yeah that must of been were i read it first, could not find the link, but figured i would post it here in case anyone missed it :D

The antivirus software DOES NOT install itself in hard reset (on my imate k-jam and others too). If its not listed in your "remove programs" then its not installed. So all this talk of the k-jam speeding up when you remove the cab file from the extended rom is pointless. Unless of course there are different roms on the devices?

It's not on mine either , its on the SP5 in the program window but not on my K-Jam . UK Version.. Like the Jam maybe there are differnt external ROM builds???

It does install and consume memory/storage/processor. An easy experiment is to do a cold boot of your device, then look at the storage and memory utilization. Next remove the file indicated and do a cold boot. Examine the numbers again and you will find that they are higher. Ergo something has been removed. I would say that the AV program removes itself from the Installed software list as a means of preventing Viruses from spotting it.

It does install, but it hides from the add remove programs list as robinton says

[adamz]

Mine doesn't seem to have anything antivirus related installed as applications or in the registry.

Is this confirmed and working and how much faster does this make the k-jam/how noticable?

Thx.

does anybody know if the QTEK 9100 installs the same anti-virus software? Just received mine yesterday and think that it runs really slowly in comparison to my old Ipaq 3850!!

I appreciate that it isn't an "apples for apples" comparison, but my IPaq is over 3 years old and runs like a dream - even put TT5 on it and it runs better than on brand new Qtek! :?:

Install total commander and find out.

I have the Sprint PCS (CDMA, US) version of this phone. The extended ROM includes a program that hides everything it loads from the add/remove programs list. I'm assuming the other versions do to.

Unfortunately my extended ROM space is visible, but not writeable or erasable.

I'm wondering, before I try it, will the same technique work for the SkyPE?

[itsmewhoelse]

Ok, I'll reply to my own post. :)

I installed Total Commander. I went to the Extended_Rom dir, and moved the av and skype out and into My Docs. Did a hard reset and wham! No more av or skype. Skype was a 2.6m file. Funny thing is, Looking in My Docs, I don't find them.
The device is a bit more peppy now.

I can't seem to find the file mentioned anywhere in my extended ROM. I've using the KJAM WWE 1.1.9.106 EXTENDED ROM version.

Any ideas?

I have WWE 1.1.9.104 EXTENDED ROM, that could be why.
