Yes, to resize use Image/Change format. Probably you can play with custom size, if standard sizes fit poorly.

My idea of making ExtRom is to place in it only essential patches/software, then in case of hard reset you get working device without wasting storage space. The rest could be moved to flash card or downloaded from PC.

I removed from original ExtendedRom cabs which were not necessary - TomTom, IE startup page and enabling power tabs in backlight (>50KB to add one registry value!).

Therefore it should not create any power-related issues, except maybe after flashing battery measurement may be incorrect and needs recalibration - full discharge and then full charge.

Also check if you have any unneeded applications running in background.
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] lalt:
That's axactly what I am seeking to do. And I back up your finding: 2MB is definitely not the minimum available size for the Extended ROM.

Some people here have experienced battery life issues due to their flashing cooked Extended ROM. After some research I have found that I was not part of them. The drop I have noticed in the battery life is related to the normal functioning of WM6 which seems to be more hungry for battery power than WM5.

Is UPSLing needed if system.nb is original?

as i said in other posts, i intend to keep original HTC WM6 ROM but getting a much smaller ExtendedROM to increase storage memory. The only way to get the extraspace appears to be not only flashing a smaller ExtROM, but also flashing the OS at same time. (So: the nbh file must include OS nb & ExtendedRom nb)

my first quest was obtaining the original nbh file: well, just opening the WM6 update *.exe file from HTC with Winrar did the trick.

I decompiled it with dutty tools to *. nb, and recompiled both original OS nb and 2mb ExtRomt to nbh as per Meschle first post.

keeping in mind that the OS is the original, i didnt UPSL, and at 3% i got the dreaded 270 error "image file corrupt"

does that error means that, even changing only the extROM and using original OS nb, i have to UPSL first?

Thanks in advance

EDIT: once UPSLED, I was able to flash the stock HTC ROM with small 2mb extended_ROM (so no longer considered by device as "stock"!)

Quick Questions...

Dear Meschle,

I have a quick questions, after i successfully inject all my cabs into the extended rom and build the ROM.

But why after upgrade the ROM (or Hard reset)... the programs cabs from the extended ROM does not automatically installed on the PDA?

i can see the cab loaded one by one after seeing the "MSFT_Logo.bmp" being shown. but after i check on the programs list the apps not there.

Please help me.. thank you so much!
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] browny:
Are your cabs properly signed? I'm referring to post #22 from fdp24 in this thread
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] sliders7:
Thank you browny for your advice.

all my cabs are original cabs and signed because i able to install normally... but how come it did not install by itself...

the cab only copied to the windows root?

at #22: i have to have a "Cert_SPCS.cab"

i'll just give it a try then...

Thanks a bunch!
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] fdp24:
sliders7:

i would like to mention few things for you to check.

1. Cert_SPCS.cab should be first in the list of installed programs in config.txt:

LOCK:Enabled

CAB: \Extended_ROM\Cert_SPCS.cab

CAB: \Extended_ROM\HTC_SIM_Manager 6.31.cab

.

.

.

EXEC:\Extended_ROM\ChgScutAttri.exe

LOCK:Disabled

RST: Reset

2. check properties of all your files in .nb file, they should be archive and read-only

3. some software will not installed. i think mentioned this before. if software after installation, displays a dialog (like select a language or accept a license agreement), it will not be installed from extended rom. because you don't have an option to interact during customization. consider config.txt as a unattended script.

4. how do you check that software is not installed? it may not be listed in remove programs list, but could be installed.

regards,
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] sliders7:
Thanks for the replay.. fdp 24

Thanks to you... Everything is ok now!..

I simply add this line:

lock...

CAB: \Extended_ROM\Cert_SPCS.cab (As an opening line)

.

.

EXEC:\Extended_ROM\ChgScutAttri.exe (closing line)

lock..

rst..

Now the cabs install by itself....

Thanks for the help. i really appreciate it.

Oh, so your tutorial posted is not meant for your rom but for others right?

Btw, I have just flashed your version 3 rom and exploring it the past 2 days and so far realised that the backlight turned off quite fast even though I had set it to max 5 mins. Didn't stayed on even with the untick option. But never mind. Small matter. Help save battey power anyway. Still a great ROM to play with. More interesting than playing pocket pc games. ;)

hi, hrmm, after having a little play, and realising with frustration i cannot edit the windows rom (the whole reason i was looking at this to take out some of the extra files that aren't needed, or at least i think they aren't!)

if i replace SPL.nb with the SPL in the USPL thing, and then replace the radio.nb with the latest radio file, resize the extended rom, add the shdc cab, would that just create a wm 02 rom with hte latest radio, spl and sdhc support, but have slightly more free space as the extended rom would be resized smaller?

sorry if this question seems stupid, its just I'd like to have an 'upto date' o2 rom so i can reflash my phone to get rid of unesscary files i've installed and not have to update little things like the radio or the sdhc support

Also, is there a tool avaliable to edit the wm rom or is that a really advanced thing I shouldn't even be thinking about type of thing?

also, the 02 wm6 rom has g3ipl and & g4ipl, how do i know which one to include? or am i being silly and you just leave that?...

Dear Meschle,

I am fond of your ROM and I have been using latest 4.02. But as I said in my earlier replies, I am having trouble with installing extended rom. I can flash it on my device but it doesn't get installed automatically. I can see it in Total Commander but it doesn't get installed.

I tried several methods but none of them are working. In parallel I was reading your some of replies and in one of them you have mentioned that your ROM do not support Extended Rom. Also I found that your default Comm is set to Storage Card and not exended rom. Is this a limitation? Does it means if I use your latest 4.02 ROM, I cannot have Extended Rom, Is there any way I can change the "Comm" registery setting. I tried it but it says access denied. I tried changing the provxml also but no luck.

Present ROM registery looks like this,

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm]

"AutoRunType"=dword:0

"AutoRunCFG"="\\Storage Card\\SDConfig.txt"

"AutoRun"="\\Storage Card\\autorun.exe"

I flashed 6.0.1 stock image the day it came out and using systemless root by Chainfire and franco kernel r37 in the moment. Used also stock kernel for a few days.

Is it just me but I noticed a slightly decreased performance on 6.0.1 than on 6.0. Skipping through songs with a remote controlled headset is a pain in the ass when the phone is in the pocket. If the display is on, no problems. And. My battery is draining faster on the same usage like with 6.0 I also noticed, that the phone got warmer during usage. Maybe a placebo but I thinking about going back to 6.0.
