Default Avoiding installation of external rom

Does anyone know of a way to avoid the automatic installation of the external rom?

This is do-able on the universal and is convenient because you can then load the cab files selectively and have them installed where you want, e.g., storage card or extended storage.

Just do a soft reset when phone starts to install customizations.
Hermes -> Blackstone -> Nexus One / N900 -> Samsung Galaxy S II
Plus too many old ones to list or remember...

Install the free explorer app TotalCommander and you can specify \extended_rom as a path and you can then access the extended rom and install whichever parts you want to.

Then just install the little cab that has mms shortcut in its name.
