Hi there!

Is it possible to clear out the extrom from the OS? I'm using a 2.x OS and I really want a pure WM 5.0 without any junk example carrier logos, operator themes, operator programs, etc.
How can I do this?

Thanks, and Cheers

Warning: You will loose all you settings (Well Duh!)

Hard reset the device.
Run through the setup.
When the device says "Device will configure in X seconds" you need to soft reset (button) before the time out.
Once the device comes back after the soft reset you will have a stock ROM and no Ext. ROM settings.

You can then customise the device with the CAB's you want from the Ext. ROM (download the CAB's from the FTP here) or whatever you want.

before you customising the device, Unhide the EXTROM and copy the files.
then delete them and uninstall the file.

Ok, so I need to use unlock/unhide program from the Blue Angel? Because I would like to remove the contents of the extrom to free up space.

cheers

Edit:

I've found a good ROM for me :D but it has a lot of extrom files. Please look at it, and tell me which onr of then are essential for the ROM and which one is Junk (like plus themes, plus programs, rings etc.).

Here are the extrom files:

AddContacts.exe

I would like to build a pure WM5.0 Os with the maximum of free space, and without any junk/obsolete files. :)

Thank you for the help
