Whistler4ever's first WWE superstorage rom (based on AT&T 3.62 rom)

[whistler4ever]

This is my first superstorage rom (based on the 3.62 rom) created by Pandora's kitchen with the help of some other kitchen tools. In addition, this is also using bepe's superstorage hack.

All the bloatware has been removed. Everything else you need, is mostly available in the form of cabs. It has the Schap's 2G dialer and 10-button Touch Commmanager since I think nobody likes the stock ones anyway.

Anyone interested in testing it, feel free to do so. If possible, let me know if you find anything wrong with it, I'm still in the learning phase.

Thanks.

EDIT: I had better luck the second time, and uploading v2 as I type this.
uploaded new screenshots of the v2, as I said, very simple!!!

I'll take a seat and waiting for your screen shot.

Interested in trying this ROM but would like to know what is in and what is out. Thanks for your efforts.

Oh its definitely cool to have made my first successful rom.

Since this rom is from AT&T, all the AT&T stuff is out of there.

This is a 6MB page pool. This is only the OS, no splashscreens, no radio.

I added the following:

updated white-color battery icons,
Comm-vibrate toggle
Schap's 2G dialer
10 button CommManager
Black keyboard
Superstorage hack (thanks to bepe)
Schap's Advanced Configuration
pBar
Office 2007
Startclean

I skipped the following:

Intent midlet manager
No touch button
Network Wizard
No Autoupdate
no catalog
no windows live

Thats what I remember on the top of my head. Hope this is good info.

Did you apply Bepe's hack to the 3.62 OS (i.e. hexedit the 3.62 os.nb and edit the XIP)? Or did you cook this rom using the 3.60 big-storage OS and then combine it with the 3.62 OEM and SYS files?

only 20 some megs available for programs? ekkks. I'm thinking we all will need a bit more than that.

it is cool you offer this rom, but maybe its just me, I personally need to see more program memory.:eek:

[whistler4ever]

@ Ross - I hex edited the 3.62 rom directly, no using of 3.60 OS.

@ Ko0ky - thanks for that review, I need to look into that. I would definitely some more program memory too.

[whistler4ever]

I just noticed that binky has more storage memory than me, so I must have done something wrong...so back to the drawing board for me!

[megarek]

Yah, the big storage hack didnt work. Too bad, i was really excited for a second

it worked half way, since i have a total memory of 61.38 MB, and there is ext_rom. No worries, I'll get cracking on it again today after work.

[whistler4ever]

Aiighty, on a second try, looks like I've had better luck.

Office, pbar, Java, Arcsoft MMS, X button, etc. have been removed from V1 since they're all available in cabs.

Tempted to give it try. I am using duttythroy's Touch I Ultra Lite which has 73.44MB Storage and 50.77MB Program Memory. However, it is based on the 3.60 ROM. I would like to use 3.62.

[megarek]

Good job on milking out some more storage space! How did you do it? Could you give us some details so that those of us who like to cook our own can do so? Thanks!
Ross
PS It is strange that there is still about 5 megs less 3.60 based big storage roms. What is up with that?

[whistler4ever]

well, I realised that my mistake was in the hex-editing. I only did half the hack right, hence got only half the result (atleast thats what I think).

I have tried to make this quite a few times, and thats the max I've gotten. I might have to squeeze out some more apps/dlls, but I cannot seem to get it to 3.60 superstorage numbers. I'm still trying though.
