Newbie question: Working with Ext. ROM - JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General

Hello,
Sorry if this has been asked b4 or too simple.
Can anybody tell me how I can extract a particular file from the ext. ROM?
Also, what is the best way to prevent customization from running? Is removing the files from ext rom the only way?
Thanks.

[Universal] Extended ROM unlocker !!!!!!!

YES YES YES
!!i just made extended ROM unlocker for Universal!!
THIS TOOL IS DEDICATED TO MWANG
get it here
Please test it and let me know...
It is very early release, so it does only unlock.
Later, i'll add also locking.
For unhiding Extended ROM i just need to create cab file.
Otherwise it's ready as well... Meanwhile you can display your extended ROM using TotalCommander for CE.
How to unlock:
Just copy it to your device and run it..

on hardreset, all customisations are run from Extended_ROM.
By default it is locked for writing with a password.
That means, you cannot add or remove programs, which are autoinstalled on coldinit.
Now you can.

Thank you very much....
Buzz,
Thanks for working on this. I realize that a lot of people are looking forward to "freeing" up memory by deleting the extended ROM (i.e. Big Storage). I'm one of them. Here's my question: Does this allow you to delete the files in EXT ROM? If so, are they PERMANENTLY deleted? Or can I "restore" them by reflashing my ROM from the ROM Image provided from imate's website? Sorry for the newbie questions.

Unlocking Extended ROM allows you to delete or add files into Extended ROM.
Files are permanently deleted or added.
Once you flash the device with new ROM, which contains ms.nbf (Extended ROM image), it's content is then flashed to the Extended ROM. That means there will be new content in there...
This is my first contrib to Universal, Exec, JJ community...
Next step can be the same as i did on Himalaya.
To get more storage space, e.g. remove the Extended ROM partition and make the Storage partition 10MB bigger.
well, if anyone wants that... ))

would it be safe to assume it works on the Wizard?

NO.
This will work only on Universal, O2 Exec, Dopod 900, Jasjar Qtek9000 etc...
If you want i can try to make one for Wizard...
buzz

Is 10Mb what we can expect as an increase in storage?
Too infinity and well beyond!

Nice
Congratulation with new tool. Now we can delete or copy files of extended ROM, we need to see and use ER as storage therefore unhide application also must be needed
Thanks
:wink:
Unlock JJ.. works like charm..
Thanks for the good work.. really really useful and save lot's of efforts to customize the machine after a complete installtion.
Keep up the good work.
where do i send it to?
Here Buzz
Excuse my lack of expertise, in PC terms is this similar to having a copy of the uninstalled o/s on your harddrive and is only required when you wanted to reinstall your o/s?
If so, would it be possible to empty the rom and only place one cab file which loaded all the required cab from SD? i.e. copy the rom to an SD and then be able to hard reset using the SD to reload the o/s?
How much space does the rom take up?
Regards
Simon
Cool Buzz! he is the man!! But....do i understand if u ru
Yoo Buzzie Buzz
Listen i have an question and a problem..the tool is cool no doubt about that. Now we can exclude some unecessary programs etc.
But my main question is does this remove the Simlock aswell? ?!? ?
Because there are a lot of people who cant use their MDA PRO properly because it has an simlock of T-Mobile......if this does not remove the simlock could you make an program that does...? I think it is now quitte easy cause the ext. rom is an open way.....
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE BUZZ and all others.....Help and make an Sim Unlock tool just like you all dit before for the Himalaya etc. etc.

[Q] QUESTIONS: imilka's Gingerbread Sense v0.4

To start with, I couldn't post a reply in the topic forum because I am still new apparently.
I am wondering if there has been any news regarding the bugs on this rom? The only bug that I am aware of that is stopping me from putting on my phone is the camera bug. I need my camera.
Question 2: Is there any other Roms that share a basic Gingerbread OS with something similar to sense? I don't want a rom that tweaks everything from looking like the standard gingerbread w/sense. What I really want is a rom that is close to the look of the evo and gingerbread. But something that clocks speed. Any recommendations?
Sorry for the stupid questions, I have been reading and reading and reading and I can't find a single post that talks about definitions and recommendations for users. Its hard for the normal noobs to grasp the lingo in place
Thanks again
hi,
gingerbread with sense is still a work in progress,and no the camera does not work properly yet.....
otherwise,please check here:
