1 Is it possible to delete files (.dll is what I'm after) out of wallaby ROM? I thought I read that it was, but now I can't find that info, mkrom, splitrom, etc info that I see all tells me that you can only add or change..
2 BTW, what's with all the versions of romtools & tools with the same name (but different versions?) in the demokitchen? I assume its good to have the latest and greatest, but I am beginning to rethink my assumption there. When I say versions, I am looking at the dates of said files in either /~itsme/cvs-xdadevtools/romtools or /Wallaby/Tools/CustomROMToolset or /Wallaby/Tools/MKromxxx.zip or http://wiki.xda-developers.com/uploads/mkrom.zip as well as a bunch of different versions of dumprom.exe (win32).
Any particular set that is most functional? I've noticed that a .pl file or two wanted to run dumprom (ELF version) which !work on cygwin, and another wanted .. unicode whatever.. yeah.. In one place or another I had to edit the .pl file & run it under cmd prompt instead of cygwin. Worked swell.
3 So in a set (I think it's the wiki's customrom instructions) of cook-you-own-rom instructions, it says to add neccesary files to files directory. files directory you just dumpromed to. Ok. My neccesary files are MMS files & whatnot. Later in the directions it tells you to run some xipchains stuff, with files1 and files2 directories as arguments. Well, there's nothing in there, since I put them all in files. The ROM builds, but I end up with basically the same rom I started with. if I dumprom it back out, I can't see any of the file additions I did in the new rom.
So I'm gonna assume again, that I should stick my files in files2 for the most part, so the scripts that build xipchains & calc free space etc can do their job & one of those scripts will get my files where I want them. (in the rom!)
TIA
BTW, if anyone is interested in the Arcsoft MMS Composer software not working in LumpiStephans kitchen, you need to grab & install Camera_WWE.sa.cab from someplace, which will install the requisite .dlls to make the MMS software work. Yeah, it's big, and there is no camera on the wallaby, I know. But the EzOS wap browsers MMS software really sucks (for me), and looses parts of the messages from certain people. I dunno if it's their email client, or what.. don't care.
if anyone is interested, I can tell you what DLLs it needs, I sat there for a while checking out the dependencies, and that way you don't have to install as much extra crap, but I don't have it handy right now. lemme know.
