Why unclokcing Ext-ROM ? - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading

Can some one tell what usage ids after unlock the ext-rom ?
Thx a lot

You can put your fav applications into this ext rom and it will install it automatically the next time you do a hard reset.,

Do I have to edit the config.txt or do I just drop the cabs into the folder?

Well, I guess there is no way to get apps on Ext ROM installed directly to SD Card, on hard reset!?
Or there is?

Moving HTML help files from \Windows to \Storage Card

Hi all,
Any steps necessary to move the HTM help files in the \Windows folder to my SD card, other than just moving them? Will I need to hack the registry?
Has anyone tried this before?
Thanks!

Which help files are ya looking to move?
Pretty much all *.htm files that are not in ROM and have application names. Around 500KB worth.

I see. I'm pretty sure that individual apps would be hard coded to look somewhere specific for the related help files, or each app may have the location specified in the registry - which would make for some tedious editing.
You could try installing the apps to your storage card and see if the help files are also installed there. I have seen apps though that despite being installed on a storage card insist on putting config and other files into device storage.
Thanks for your replies! I'll move them, and if any apps complain, then I'll put 'em back on a case-by-case basis. Do you know of any other files that could be safely moved to SD to free some precious space on main storage?
Off topic, are you planning to enhance the new Cingular ROM once they get their act together and release a non-corrupted file?

It depends on what they release. If it really is going to be the 2.25 release that leaked a few weeks back, then I plan to stay as far away from it as I can.
However, I am working in tightening up an AKU 2.3 ROM for Cingular users. I'll be testing out an AKU 2.5 ROM this week as well.

WM 6 ext roms?

Hi guys. Here's the deal. Can you flash a WM5 ext rom in a WM6 device. I have a wizard and i'm just wondering. is it possible? or do I need a wm6 ext rom? OH and ive searched my head off and i cant find anywhere with the aforementioned ext roms..........any help? Thanks in advance.
You can (However you may need to use itsutils yourself), however note that software and settings in WM5 ext rom may not be fully compatible with WM6.
btw, you can just use Total Commander and navigate to \Extended_ROM and make a backup to files there to your SD card, then install what you need after flashing WM6, that's the same unless not automatic.

sorry to butt in but WST allows to copy all files (or just some) to the Hard Drive in an easy manner
btw, WST can also be used to flash an extended rom in .nb format (decrypted as a partition image)

HTC Backup on your Wing.

I've had this .cab kicking around but never tried it till today. Seems to work great on my Wing. Not quite sure everything it backs up. It only works when installed to the phone -- won't work if you install it to the Storage Card.
It creates a file on your Storage Card used to backup your phone.
My guess is, that you could create the backup image file and then remove/uninstall the program to save space and then if you ever needed it, you could reinstall the program and just run the backup file. Or just leave the program on your phone.
Anyway, I don't know if anyone wants it but here it is.
Cheers!
This is neat to have. My question is, does this backup my profiles in the programs (like games) installed so next time I install/backup the program it will be restored? I'm thinking about flashing to new ROM...
Thanks.
no
you have to copy that stuff from either the app data folder or your program's folder usually
i been using this since i got my wing. this back-up every single thing from reg to program data..
ok guess i was wrong then

Awesome, thanks man!
I just saved this to my storage card and installed it on the storage card, is this correct? Should I save it to the phone memory and then back up to memory card?

I believe the answer you was seeking was in the first post. . . .
The PPCGeeks forum shows some users experiencing major issues with this software - beware .. ! Hard resets necessitated etc,,,
I have a weird problem with HTC Data Backup... I first installed it on the SD card because on the page I downloaded it from it didn't say you have to install it on the device, later I saw some people mention it in the comments... I've uninstall it and installed it again on the device, but I can't find it anywhere - it's not in the Programs, or Program Files, although I see it in Add/Remove applications... How do I start the program?

Can I install games on sd card?

I have couple games for ppc but I want to install them on the micro sd card and play on the Wing. Can I do that? Will doing that corrupt the file on the sd card in the long run?
yes, you can.
they can only cause boot loop if it overwrites a neccessary windows driver..which it will probably not..
the probability of storage card or file corruption.. well you are dealing with windows and with blocks of memory...so it's always a possibility... no matter how great of an os windows is... it's still annoyingly stupid at times, hehe.
of course.. some games don't work properly from the sd card.. usually they automatically look for local windows files needed and they can't find them.. because they look for storage card/windows... oops.. so some games do have to be installed on the ppc itself.

Every game that I have ever installed, I've put on my storage card and had no problems. You should be fine with just about anything.

and then you have to create a short cut for the game in the "start up menu" folder right?

Not if its a .cab file. It will auto install and create the link for you.

Oh I see, so you copy the cab file to the sd and run it from there.

One more thing, this is not relate to subject but here is a thought.
I remember reading the cookers said that there is certain size limit requirement when they cook a rom and that's why they can't remove a lot of stuffs.
Here is my thought, why don't they just remove stuffs that they want. Then let say the size limit for a rom is 50 MB and now they have 45 MB. Can they just create a "junk" folder and put some junk files/pictures in that folder to bring the size of their rom to the limit. After people flash their rom, they can just delete the "junk" folder? Then we can have a clean rom with less amount of storage.

Can't install roms !

I normally can install roms but for some reason i can't anymore, when i copy the file to my memory card the ".nbh" part dissapears from the name, and when i try to install it, my phone says there are no images. Any ideas?
maybe you are hiding the extension for known formats on your pc.
it is an windows explorer setting.
fast solution : simply rename the file directyl on your phone via totalcommander or file explorer and you are good to go.
regards

Thank You so much , thankfully it worked.
One problem though, SEUS can't regonise my phone, i flashed a generic UK rom and thats it, any ideas ?
it because of the hard-spl
if you already have r3 then theres no point using SEUS
the only reason you would use it is if you want to return it to warranty, but even so flashing back soft-spl and generic rom would be fine!
SEUS is really jus useless
