I upgraded my XDA II to WM5 using the rom on buzzdev (WM2k5_1.60c.00WWE) and used the tool to resize my storage memory to 30MB ish. (Hima_DOC_Tool_1.0)
I decided WM5 was not for me so u downgraded to WM2003SE and after I installed the WM2003SE rom i have no camera software installed. (And it seems like i have no EXTROM)
Is the cause of this not resizing the storage memory back to the default settings before downgrading to WM2003SE or do i need to install an EXTROM onto my XDAII?
I tried o2's final rom and the o2 active stuff doesn't install after the upgrade either.
Any ideas?
Thanks for reading.

Hi
I have recently bought xda2 but am unsure how to install programmes in extended rom. Everytime I install they seem to take space of ram memory.
I had an xda 1 before which doesnt have the extended rom option. What is the advantage of installing to extended rom?
Regards,
Ghaffar.
ExtendedROM is space reserved for "things" that need to be run after Hard Reset.
You cant install INTO Extended ROM (well not exactly true, but it would be a waist of it)
You can install FROM Extended ROM (into main memory, storage or sd card)
Use the ExtROMTools foundon this forum to get access to the Extended ROM. (but be careful)
Where can I find EXTRomTool
Hi
I have searched hi and low in this forum but yet am unable to find the link to EXTRomTool for imate, xda2.
Can you give me the link and if possible a link to its tutorial as well.
Regards,
Ghaffar.

I have just upgraded from 1.60 to 1.72.00WWE. I have done a restore of my old backup, but cannot install the app suite. The exe file runs, but the XDAII says thet the ROM is not the correct version!! so doesn't install.
On looking at the device information it says
ROM version: 1.72.00WWE
ROM Date: 03/15/04
Radio Version: 1.17.00
Protocol version: 1337.28
ExtROM version: 1.60.50
I am concerned about that last entry as I was expecting 1.72.187 (I don't have the BlackBerry.
Any help or advice on what needs to be done would be greatfully appreciated.
Thanks
probably your restore has overwritten the registry
Thanks. I re installed ROM and apps installed ok.
This just means I now have to install all my apps, set up ms reader, and other apps. Looks like I am going to be up all night
Does anyone have a better way of upgrading the ROM and restoring all apps from backup?
Regards
Hi folks,
I pretty much have the same setup except the ExtROM being 1.72.181, i.e. with blackberry. When I try to install the applications from the applications suite I get a strange error saying, please check you ROM, upgrade and try again.
I am surprised since this is supposedly the latest ROM available. (1.72.00WWE)
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers!
Lakshman
Did you do a restore after upgrading? This seems to update the ExtRom to your old version and therefore stopping the app suite to load. I am now only just getting my xda back to normal with all the apps I had installed (must organize myself better and put them in one place :x)
Regards
flintanis,
I re-installed all the apps afresh. In spite of this I am not able to install the applications in the suite. :-(
Cheers!
Lakshman
lakshman_mn what ROM versions does your Device Information give? If the ExtRom is not 1.72.181 (or .187) then the app suite wont install.
There is another thread where DCS suggests updating the ExtRom version in the registry, but not sure if that works and also putting the actual apps suite cab in the ExtROM and executing them from there.

Yes, I have used the search trying to answer this question. Before I upgraded to DCD 2.2.6 ROM, I was able to hide/unhide the ExtROM in the EXT_FLASHDRV registry entry. Now, after installing 2.2.6, the EXT_FLASHDRV key is not present. I have tried adding it with no luck. So is it possible to unhide the ExtROM after installing 2.2.6 or do I need to go back to the stock ROM, unhide, then reinstall 2.2.6?
I do not think rolling back to the stock rom, unhiding and then flashing Dcd's 2.2.6 rom again will keep the extrom unhidden. The rom currently flashed will install in it's originally fabricated state.
Unfortunately with this in mind, I do not have a answer for unlocking Dcd's rom if you have already tried with no success the registry edit. Maybe Dcd will release a version that implements the same extrom unlocker like no2chem's nueExtRom which is available on build 5047...

physically, the partition is still there but the driver is not loaded and the device will not see the extrom at all. what do you need it for?
i don't know if it is in there, and some people will probable think i'm crazy (which isn't too far from the truth), but i was wanting to get the sprint yellow today color scheme. just got used to it and personally like it better than the ones availabe.
install htcustom 1.8...go to the last tab on the program and u should see unhide ext rom or something similar...select that and click save...u might get error...just quit...soft reset using a program not the hole on bottom...and u should see ext rom
With advanced configuration, I believe you can both unhide the ext rom, and unlock it, allowing you to clear the contents.
hi
as you know O2 Atom has low internal memory.if we have a very clean rom we could install our favorite apps on sd card.
then I need a rom with very basic application and without any installed software like Office 6.1,winrar,Adobe reader,java midlet and etc
any suggestion???
need a very clean chinese(cht) room for ipaq6828.
wm6.5
need a very clean chinese(cht) wm6.5 rom for ipaq6828.
thanks
I have a HKWWE HD2, with JP winnls hacked in.
Generally if I open opera + email, I can't open any other programs. eg albums will say no memory can't open.
Settings will show 203mb program memory free and 70mb storage free
I can open fewer programs than on my old 32ram phone.
Installed are spb mob shell, pocket plus, phone suite
I don't know if it has to do with the pagepool, but you can always try a different ROM.
Are you using a 3.14 based rom without 3.03.hspl? 3.14 roms mess up the ram with any other spl/hspl.
I'm using retail shipped rom, but seriously considering android/wm7 now if only i had time to find a tomtom replacement

Doesn't really answer my question, if the rom you are running is a 3.14 rom and you flashed it whilst (example) your spl was 2.08.hspl, then it will mess with stability and available ram.
