Probably not, what is it you are wanting to do?

I noticed my tytn battery seems to run out fast, even on a clean rom.
So i think the extended rom could be doing it.

Interesting theory...flash a standard carrier WM6 ROM...which should use the ext_rom for setup stuff....do some tests and see if that changes anything.

Though i gotta say it seems a bit of a strange conclusion that the ext_rom memory area is draining the battery?!? :)

Are you running a superstorage ROM then i take it?

I did it on my wizard and my battery life went to 2.5 days with slight use.

So maybe making an ext_rom with zero usage...which can be made with the HTC image editor if i remember correctly....do a quick search for it (or i may have it on file somewhere)..

flash it alongside a standard WM6 ROM (non superstorage)......dont bother booting and then flash the WM6/WM6.1 ROM of your choice?? essentially wiping the unused area of memory with zeros perhaps?

Id like to see the results of this if you do have a go?

Are you superCID? if so then flash a normal WM6 ROM, unlock the ext_rom and delete everything in there, this might do the same thing?

thanks for your help guys, But I don't know what you guys are talking about. I know how to cook my own rom by following noobie proof guides, but I have no idea what i'm doing (like no idea what the steps are actually doing to the rom, but i know what i'm clicking?)
most of the roms i cooked for myself failed and always have some programs missing.

Thanks
