ROM without Internet Explorer?

[DCwing]

Hey guys. I really need to get IE off of my Wing for parental reasons. Is there anyone that could either cook me a ROM without it, or give me noob-friendly instructions on how to cook my own ROM and leave IE out?

parental reasons? care to explain? =)
Anyway, the problem is that some functions of the ROM may depend on IE being there, kind of like how you can't play mp3 ringtones without WMP.

What you CAN do is disable the wifi and data services from running on the phone, which is relatively easy.

Aserg can help you with the wifi, but to disable the data, use MoDaCo's nodata to disable the data connection and, if you want, MMS.

Download JustClean EBO and then just remove the BROWSER folders from the SYS folder.

First off, thanks for the bullet speed response. :)

Second. what functions would require IE? Any chance that I don't use any of them? ;)

Third. Is there a way to disable Wifi without having it just as easily come back on?

Fourth. I don't have any data plan, but will I lose any features (other than web browsing) without having wifi?

1. You're welcome
2. I don't know, but there might always be something. I refer you to one of the more senior cooks (ivan, ttran, itje).
3. You could just not turn it on in comm manager. This is usually foolproof to an extent, but if they want assurance, ask Aserg how to disable the services.
4. Nope.

Thank you so much ivanmmj! Worked like a charm! But how do I delete it's icon from the program directory?

Open your initflash.dat file (I think that's what it's called... I'm at work, so this is from memory) using NOTEPAD. Look for the internet explorer.lnk and delete that. Then save the file and open it with a HEX editor. Then remove the first two parts. Something like FE FE or something. Or, if you don't want to recook, go to your \Windows\Start Menu and delete the Internet Explorer.lnk since it's not "cooked" but created whenever you flash/hardreset by that dat file I mentioned.
