[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] selyb:
I have spent the last couple days customizing/optimizing to use ExtenDir and all I can say is WOW!

I didn't know my kaiser COULD be this responsive!

I will post some details on what I did to get it working and what I tried to do to optimize.

INFO

Device: Kaiser (AT&T Tilt 8925)

Radio: 1.59.46.12 (probably going to change soon)

SPL: HardSPL 3.56

Rom Build: 21054.1.6.7

Rom: Custom using files from TPC kitchen, TPC XIP/SYS, and osKitchen

If anyone is interested, I can upload the kitchen as I used it but BE WARNED - this is far from final and has bugs/annoyances

CHANGES

Based on info in this thread and my own knowledge of programming and windows inner workings, I tried to remove anything that seemed sensible. Definitely all documents, media files, help files, etc. If it didn't seem sensible to remove all of it then I stripped the files I thought should be moved. I only did folders that contained more than 25 files though.

I will provide a link to the packages I cabbed or stripped but here is a quick rundown of them

Completely cabbed and installed later:

Sources\EXT\Apps\Album_2_5_18221129_1

Sources\EXT\Apps\AudioManager_2_2_19122724_L0

Sources\EXT\Apps\CommManager_2_7_5_0

Sources\EXT\Apps\connectionsetup_2_7_37392_4

Sources\EXT\Apps\LongPressEndKey_1_2_35861_4

Sources\OEM\HTCCamera_5_04_31875_00

Sources\OEM\Z_ExtraFilesPkg

Sources\SYS\21054\VoiceCommand

Sources\SYS\21054\Phone_DPI_96

Sources\SYS\21054\VoiceCommand_Lang_0409

Sources\SYS\21054\Phone_dpi_96_resh_240_resv_320

These are stripped of things I believed could be installed later:

Sources\OEM\OEM_Drivers

Sources\SYS\21054\MediaOS

Sources\SYS\21054\MediaOS_dpi_96_resh_240_resv_320

Sources\SYS\21054\MediaOSFiles

Sources\SYS\21054\MediaOS_Lang_0409

Sources\SYS\21054\PhoneRedist

Sources\SYS\21054\PhoneRedist_Lang_0409

Sources\SYS\21054\Shell

Note: I combined related things into one cab and/or stripped folder. e.g. MediaOS, MediaOSFiles, etc all went into Stripped_MediaOS

BTW, some things are working and other things aren't. There are too many things to label here. I would love to hear any advice from seasoned cooks (no pun intended) about what I've done or what else I could do.

I've uploaded my files here

ISSUES

Include but are not limited to:

Album always fails to install

I have a TouchFLO item in Control Panel but I removed all TFLO related stuff >:-\

I have conflicting packages (e.g. only recently realized I had config.txt in two different places)

Even though I removed the Timed Repllog from the original mxip_notify.vol, AS or something keeps adding that entry back to notifications queue anyway >:-/

Busy animation isn't changed like it was before I mutililated these packages
