Default MDA Pro and the bundled Ext Rom apps

Hi,

I want to know if:

1. Any are necessary, or useful to install.
2. If any of them slow the device down

Just got my MDA Pro on first charge now, and I am thinking of hard resetting and then doing a soft reset to bypass the customising, but don't know if I will miss out on anything worth having.

Thanks,

Joe

You can allways install the extrom later by downloaden the extended roms of the Imate and MDA-pro and choosing the cabfiles you want to install.

I did it that way.

Yes, it's simply knowing which files are which, eg: which one has MSN on it?

Is there any way of finding out which cab does what?

Default msn is nog in the extended rom

msn is nog in the extended rom because if you cancel the installation of the extended romfiles MSN is already installed

So, the ext rom on a MDA Pro actually removes MSN mobile? Is that what you are saying here?

No I'm saying that if you skip the install of the extended rom msn is already installed so its part of the normal rom update.

Thanks for the clarification. I am avoiding updates for a few days as I am in a trial period wiht the device and can't decide if 40mb/month is enough.

If I keep it, then the update seems to be the way forward.
