You can find the three cab files for the CA anti-virus, backgammon, and Skype, on the xda ftp site. Go to wiki.xda-developers.com, find the ftp link most of the way down that page, scroll down to Universal, click on the link under Universal uploads, then click on the extended rom folder on the ftp site and Joe Bongo.zip under that.

Use add / remove program to uninstall these three programs - anti-virus, backgammon, and Skype. After they're uninstalled, in turn, tap on the cap file for each of these three apps and when the install dialog comes up, choose to install TO THE SD CARD.

It says there is a problem installing the anti-virus program on the SD, but it's not true, it works fine from the SD card. Putting the three apps anti-virus, backgammon, and Skype on the SD card frees up about 4.2MB of space in ROM (storage). :)

Don't hard reset and these apps won't wind up back in the ROM. You don't need to hard reset unless you are installing an new ROM.

Alternately, you can go the more involved route in the link below to free up a little more space. If you get the Joe Bongo extended ROM, you'll see that there are 7 other cab files in the extended ROM. They take up about 0.5 MB of space. I'm not going to hard reset my device to save 0.5 MB of ROM space, because it's not that much space and I'll lose all of my settings on hard reset.

Hi cool_case and thank you for your reply

what i wanted is something totaly different

1) i wanted to delete the files i do not need from the extended rom (to free up some memory)

2) i wanted to add programs i do need, to the extended rom (to make installation automatic after a hard reset)

as you probably know, when i remove programs allready installed (like the anti-virus) i am never 100% sure what registry changes were made (altough i am deleting all changes i know of, using a registry editor).
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] cool_case:
Hi aseptic,

One of the xda-developers aces will be fairly like to figure out how to create a special ROM image that doesn't have have the extended ROM stuff in it. You may be familar with the Anansky hack (and later easier methods) posted in early summer here for the xda mini (JAM) that freed up about 27MB of 'storage'.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] aseptic:
okay i will be waiting
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] 155:
The thing about deleting things from the extended rom to free up memory is that the extended rom is already partitioned so deleting things from the extended rom will not actually free up space. It will only prevent the deleted things from installing the next time you hard reset.

We will need some sort of other hack to free up this partitioned space (big storage hack). Just deleting them from the extended rom will not do what you're hoping for.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Noel:
This WORKED for me!!

Following the instructions listed on this page I was able to reclaim 15M+ for Storage and Programs on my JasJar.

http://wiki.howardforums.com/pocketpc/index.php/Selectively_Bypassing_the_Extended_ROM

Not to bore you guys with result details here is how it played out with application installation:

After hard reset with Extended ROM bypass (eliminating Backgammon/Antivirus/Skype)

Storage 39.52 Program 28.27

After first ActiveSync 4.1 Storage 34.53 Program 21.29

Installs with soft reset after each:

Resco File Explorer Storage 33.31 Program 21.39 (?)

SPB Imageer ' 30.03 21.35

Pocket Artist 3 28.08 21.55

Listpro 4 27.24 21.45

PhatPad 26.42 20.84

MS Pocket Streets 5 25.92 20.75

TCPMP 24.28 20.25

Magic Button 24.15 20.44

NewsBreak 23.32 20.25

also on 2G SD Card Pocket Informant / MS Reader / Weather Panel

Sync includes 1,235 Contacts / 3 years of Calendar / 2 years of email (3 accounts) (attachments on SD) etc.

Bottom line Storage 19.67 Program 14.86

I wouldn't consider this too shabby.

Darn sight better than with the fluff on Extended ROM.

Hopefully this may be of interest

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] cool_case:
Thanks for the link to the hofo wiki with the very clear instructions for bypassing the extended_ROM installation.

What I had done before was use add-remove programs to remove Backgammon, the CA anti-virus, and Skype. Then, I used the cab files for these three apps found on the xda ftp site to install these three to the SD. This saved about 4.2MB of storage. People had said that this method didn't really remove the apps from ROM.

But, that's apparently not the case. I followed the instructions for bypassing the extended ROM installation above and wound up with about 1MB more of "storage" memory than was obtained by just removing the three apps above manually using add-remove. So, the method above works is a little better, because while you can manually remove the backgammon, anti-virus and skype, you can't manually remove the carrier settings.

Another good thing came of doing this -- Sunnysoft backup did a nice job of restoring settings, including Today Screen plug-in settings Haven't found any omissions yet, but as I don't sync pim data, can't comment on whether Sunnysoft does that.

Hey guys,

Had a couple of questions that maybe some of you could answer... I've got an AT&T sgh-1337 and wanted to trade my dad for his T-Mobile GS4... Since MF3 doesn't allow me to have any fun.

The OG Pro has a great screen when viewed directly at it, which is 99% of how you'd view a phone's screen anyway. However, when looking at it from certain angles, the blacks are really bad and it looks as if you're looking at film negatives. Also, the OG Pro has a really reflective screen.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MobileNick:
I haven't noticed the bad display when viewing at an angle on my G2. But then again, I didn't notice it on my G Pro either. Blacks are of course not nearly as good as with AMOLED but still fine. Haven't been as thrilled with the display outside, although many said it looks fine. Maybe I just need to play with some settings. I will say this:

1. When I was buying my G Pro, I found myself constantly looking over my shoulder at the gorgeous G2 screen

2. I ended up returning my G Pro and picking up a G2 and haven't regretted it at all! Loving this device so far :)

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Hnk1:
Hello There

I have read about people asking about how to install google books, magzines, movies. music or how to use those features which are restricted due to their country. Well, this is a guide by which you can change your country as default and then you can enjoy all the applications from a particular region you choose.

The best part is that

NO ROOT REQUIRED OR ANY OTHER KIND OF MODIFICATION.

INSTRUCTIONS :

1. Download TunnelBear version free from Google Play or any other VPN service which allows you to select a specific country.

2. Sign up and then log in to Tunnel Bear.

3. Once logged in, enable TunnelBear and then choose a region. Suppose you choose US.

4. Wait until your phone has been connected to TunnelBear VPN.

5.Go back to your home screen. Do not close it or use task managers that might kill it automatically.

6. Force stop Google Play in Application Manager from Settings.

7. Clear data and cache

8. Open Google Play Store. Accept the Terms & Conditions of Google Play Store.

9. Once you are connected to US Google Play, you may disconnect Tunnel Bear as I think it has a limit.

10. Enjoy reading magzines, books and other applications :P

11. To revert back, simply clear cache and data again after force closing Google Play.

12. Use WIFI and disable your 3g/4g connection. I am not sure if location causes any problem but if doesnot work for you, just go into airplane mode and use WIFI till you get US market.

This works without root but fast internet, latest google play firmware, root is recommended in order. (It should work without root but if it doesnot, make sure your internet speed is good and/or upgrage your Google Play. Also, if you are unable to connect to US market, try doing the 6-8 steps again.

GOOD LUCK AND ENJOY :)

I read this somewhere online and I can not remember it. I only wrote down the steps in my own words. Credit goes to the author and who found this trick!

I would not be responsible for any harm caused by this if you can not follow the instructions properly
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] BladeZero:
I did see this concept in many different places do don't worry about the author cause there are tons, I tried it a while ago with a different VPN app but I will try the one u mentioned but my WiFi wasn't fast enough and the store wouldn't load
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] mixterz:
Doesn't work with movies . even with movies app pre installed on a US nexus.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Hnk1:
Well, first try to open just regular websites using proxy and see if that works. Then try opening the Google Play Store. Good Luck

Are you rooted ? If yes, open titanium backup (search market) and you will see the apps frozen. Just unfreeze them. Open proxy while opening the Movies. Once inside, turn off proxy. Tell me if that works for you!

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] BrettS:
Lately I've noticed that when I'm using Pocket IE I'll try to go to a web site and it will start to load, then IE simply closes and I'll be back at the today screen. It doesn't happen on the same web site every time, but once it starts happening for a particular website it will keep happening on that website until I go into the options for IE and clear the cache. Lately it's been happening once a day or more and it's starting to get rather annoying. I'm about ready to try to move the cache back off the SD card.

Has anyone else seen this?

Thanks,

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] atekant:
Same here. I was suspecting:

- IE cache on SD

- GPRS connection always on

As those were the two tweaks I did just before the problem started.

Just a few hours ago I tweaked the gprs connection back to the way it was, but the problem came back.

I suppose it is the SD cache then.

I had the same problem with the cache on the sd-card.

I "moved" the cache back to the device, and deleted the cache from PIE options.

Then I emptied the cache folder on the sd card and "moved" the cache to the sd card.

Is it possible that some content of the cache is somehow indexed in a database? So there would be an inconsistency when only the path is changed... :?:

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] hamsup1o:
hi all,

I don't believe it has to do with the SD card. I am currently using a HTC Apache (Sprint PPC-6700) and I am also having this problem. I am using a Sandisk 1G miniSD. I have moved the temp folders back to main memory and haven't had any problems. :?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] yyl:
I am guessing, could this be related to the write speed of regular SD cards? It seems that the only one that reported no problem in this thread is using a faster-writing card (Sandisk Ultra).

Yesterday I was testing the SD card caching again. I was loading a very long blog page with lots of photos, the page size close to 1 MB. IE crashed and closed itself towards the end of loading that page. I cleared the cache and tried it again. It still crashed almost at the same spot. And the same for the third time. It almost looked like the SD card couldn't keep up with the amount of data that needs to be cached. (I was using WiFi.)

I also remembered the last time I was using SD for IE caching, I was surfing the web using Verizon's EVDO service (at around 100-200K speed), and I was able to surf for a few hours before IE started acting funny. When I use WiFi for surfing, however, IE crashed much sooner.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] whydidnt:
I have had this happen too, but never thought it could be caused by having the cache on my SD card. I always thought it was a memory issue, because a soft reset has always fixed the problem. Next time it happens, I'll try flushing the cache to see if that fixes it.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Marvlesz:
Hello,

You do seem new. I will be your guide for today. :)

First of all, to access the main bootloader (SPL/rainbow screen) you must HOLD the volume down rocker then boot the phone, while still holding the volume down rocker. From here, you can flash anything you want using guides (since you're new, you'll have to search for them). You can also revert back to stock by running your stock ROM.exe (Make sure you don't brick your device by flashing an incompatible radio, READ FIRST before attempting anything)

In order for any flashing to proceed without errors, you must have the drivers. Which drivers? Well, that depends on what operating system you're running. You will have to download and install one of the following two softwares:

1- Windows Mobile Device Centre. [For Windows Vista or above]

2- ActiveSync. [For Windows XP/2000 or earlier]

Enjoy your stay.
