WM6 "Carrierfree" ROM?

[NightmarE]

I think this the time for making the latest released roms to be clean of carrier files, so we get more of free memory and also everyone can build his own one with this rom..

so how about taking these roms and extract => dump files => delete carrier files => delete carrier registries => repack the rom files ==> we get a carrierless rom!!

so anyone with me??!:)

Hi,

I flashed the dopod release and directly after it has booted the first time, while this popup comes up telling one that after 3 sec it is going to install the carrier specific software, customize bla bla and so on, I did a soft reset. This way you stop it from installing. After that you can mount the extended rom, have a look at the cabs in there and manually install what you like.
This works fine and this way you get your carrierfree WM6.

thanks for reply!

what about AT&T rom? it has some carrier files in OS.nb.
also dopod rom has some CABs that are includes in OS.nb so after every hardreset you cant make choice of installing them or not because thay are in the OS.nb files.

and to delete them you have to reCock the rom and delete them!!!

My idea is to make a rom that has no little file of carrier or also a tiny registery!! not to flash it as it is!!

Those carrier files are in the extrom, not in the os.nb, aren't they?
I'll change to my other pc, dump the rom and have a look for carrier files.

Edit: Found 67 exe files in the dopod rom, but I think there are no carrier files in it.

Edit #2: Found 2 dopod files in it, dopod_black.tsk (Theme) and P_Sound_Dopod_WWE_0713.cab (Soundfiles)

If you don't want the whole kitchen just take the OS.nb from it (or extract the OS from the official ROM).

Normally operator specific stuff goes in the extrom (that's the real bloat). The primary customisation that starts first is OEM specific (normally) and happens from preconfig.txt in the windows directory. For instance on the official ROM it runs a program to increase the in-call volume, which is very desirable as it means you can hear people when you are in a busy situation.

well, i done littel research about the different files in both Dopod and AT&T roms and made a file list.

you can find some register files in at&t rom *.rgu anyway i think there is also some files are same in name but different in version or build. for example the dialer in dopod support video call while the one in at&t does not support video call but it support PTT.

so here is the file list i hope it help you for knowing the carrier files.

did you look at the extended ROM and the cabs it install's before you pressed the reset button ;) there are a few usefull cabs and settings applied to the device... IE there is a new WLAN driver applied...

Hmm:rolleyes:, as I wrote I installed some CABS manually afterwards directly out of the ext Rom and everything was working fine for me - but maybe in my noob way of doing so - I forgot something very important though everything worked excelllent as long I was testing it.

Nevertheless, I cooked my own rom now with the pandora kitchen - and this seems to work fine as well :D
