Hi guys,

I was wondering..... can we delete the content of the extended rom and use it as extra storage space like the xda mini?

There is a trick to get extra ~10MB via registry hack on Extended_ROM2.

Do a search on this forum to find that post, as I found it here.

This is not possible, with the Unlock Tools you can only view the files, but the extended rom is protected. You can test it!!!

(Sorry for my bad english)

There are no tools to unlock the artemis external rom at the moment - if you mess with it with the reg edits and tools on the forum you risk loosing the contents of the external rom or the whole external rom may become corrupt so needing a reflash - so beware. On my inspection of the external rom i believe its only 2mb (i may be wrong) in the orbit not sure about the other models so not much to gain anyhow.

it is bigger than 2mb, because the German O2 Extenden Rom (you can find it in ftp) is 4,6mb.

i belive its 7-10mb

Hello!
From what I assume the Ext_ROM is about 16 Mb. When you look in Settings -> System -> Memory on the left side it shows Total 48 Mb (Datastorage? mine is german!). So its likely the entire storage is 64 Mb, ~48 Mb Data and ~16 Mb Ext_ROM.

On the T-Mobile MDA the extended rom is less than 2mb of which only 400k is used.
