Post Exteneded Rom Links Here.

---

We have lost the exteneded roms again.

This is the 2nd time that I know of.

I think this has to do with the fact that they were not linked to post thus unkonw files get killed. I read that some were when I first came here.

I have most of them and will start uploading them again, linking them to a post.

Anybody have a better idea or know why they have gone?

Not sure whether they've been deleted or not, unless you have been reposting. They are under BlueAngel_Roms instead of Extended_Roms. Things seem to keep getting moved.

And what are they doing there ?

Sure I have been uploading to ExtenedRoms for over an hour now.

I will move the buggers!
Rename The Folder Exteneded_Roms
Clean up the file names

Gee I love house work thought I was would be cooking in the Rom Kitchen, but no.

We are going to have to post the links as they got killed once before.

Thought you were out.

Can you belive this!

Got a folder name that says "Dont touch MDAIIIUser Uploading" and we have dowloades.

You around need so help.

ok done

cleaned up the Exteneded_Roms

Will post in the morning.

We need to take these apart and find what version they are then rename them.

Do you need some assistance with the Excel sheet for ROM Versions and contained cab files?

Is there a neater way of structuring the ftp server directories? Is there any way of setting folder permissions on the server for read/write only and not alter/delete?

Do I need help in the Exteneded Rom Kitchen. Does the .... (ok no bad jokes)

Sure do BIG Time!!! Its not my kitchen, I just work there!

The Idea of the Kitchen is not realy to find out what version number Orange Rom A has for an application but to see if Orange's Rom A has application / Patches that are better than our base.

The Sheet just is a list of the files which go:
Base (I-mate) + Rom A + Rom B = Extended Rom Kitchen (ERK) Rom

My end goal is to generate a ERK Rom Version which is as upto date as possible.

And have this info on wiki so we dont need to hunt for it.

How far am I, Well The UK orange rom has been looked at but info not posted in the kitchen.
( I think RTP worked on that but I am not sure as I was haveing PMs with few people about that rom. )

We have the 3 roms above that need to be looked and info posted in the Kitchen and added to the Excel Sheet.

The Excel Sheet needs to be made to look nice so the rest of us can undersatand it.

We need to check against the "List of know Blue angels" to see what rom is missing and see if we can find it.

Oh yes and its friday, I get to pick my kids as its "The 3rd weekend of every month" and as my ex-wife has got a date, thus By 12:00.
Chances of me doing much till monday are ZERO.

So you want a job, pay is s**t, hours are bad, it can get hot in the kitchen when there is a fire and you lose all your stuff.

You need to understand Roms, read cab files, use your brain and most of all admit to the fact that you don't know everything and thus ask.

I am looking for Pastry Chef as well. One that can write applications.

Is there any way of setting folder permissions on the server for read/write only and not alter/delete?

Given that at the moment we are all the user XDA, I would say no.
What we need is a "BA_Admin" that revokes the rights of XDA to Read only, then we just get into the next problem, the person that posted (XDA) can't update it, so he needs to be BA_Admin...

The FTP site is a public place and like Toilets some people just can't pee in the Pot like the rest of us and sonebody has to clean up the mess.

Is there a neater way of structuring the ftp server directories?

Got some ideas, then share them with us.

Will have a look at dir structure but seems reasonable to me at the moment (Though Extended is the correct spelling ). Will use my WinCE CAB Manager to see what if anything is different on rom's you haven't had chance to view yet and generally assist where I can.

I will have a look at the orange rom as well, time permitting.

Would it be better to extract the .nbf files to sub dirs under the Extended_ROMS dir and have similar structure for radio and CE ROM?

ie ->

BlueAngel/Extended_Roms/Imate_PDA2k_WWE_12200_162_10600_SHIP/ms_.nbf
(With cabs extracted as well under a cabs sub dir?)
BlueAngel/CE_Roms/Imate_PDA2k_WWE_12200_162_10600_SHIP/nk.nbf
BlueAngel/Radio_Roms/Imate_PDA2k_WWE_12200_162_10600_SHIP/radio_.nbf

Or leave as is and use the kitchen with a CAB's dir under it with all known versions of cab files so we can select the most appropriate ones?

I've posted the document on the Orange 1.12.139 ROM into the Kitchen. It's fairly large since there is so much in the Orange ROM.

Here's a link:

ftp://xda:xda@forum.xda-developers.c...139_ExtROM.doc

Unfortunately nothing really new though (Wish I had known you were doing this rom - just wasted 2 hours!).

I haven't looked at the WModem.exe update yet - any ideas what this is for?

Who keeps moving files in the BlueAngel section of the FTP server? Makes life difficult having to keep searching each time. Please let us all know what you are trying to achieve as it keeps breaking links on other web pages!
