Sprint - Weather again!

[dunawayc]

Since the database that holds city information is stored in ROM on the Sprint TP, editing it to add additional cities would not seem possible.

Would there be any way to repackage the ROM some how so that file is NOT stored in ROM but just in regular storage, thereby making edits possible?

Also, when installing a new ROM set, will a hard reset still restore the original factory settings in case something goes wrong?

Thanks,

Chris

If you load a new ROM, THAT is your ROM. Only way to go back is flash to another ROM.

How did you get past the error about changing the read only flag on the database? Using Total Commander, properties for the database that holds the city information show that the file is "in ROM" and therefore cannot be changed. I tried renaming or even deleting the file and couldn't.

Perhaps some Sprint models did not have that file in ROM but in regular storage, I don't know.

What is the model id of the Sprint TP that you were able to change the database on?

Attached is what I see in Total Commander when I look at the properties of the database.

I had the same problem with my Touch Pro. When you look at the properties of the file, you will see the check marks. If you DOUBLE CLICK on them they will go away.
