During the installation (Customization) it installs a file called from the extended rom
Default_CAAVPPC_IMEI_Wiz_range
Which installs “eTrust Antivirus for Pocket Pc”
If you miss this out of the install no slow down etc
to remove the file you need total commander ppc.
install it on the k-jam run it and then at the top input \Extended_Rom\
and move the file to your storage card/other folder on the ppc, hardreset the device and no more slow down
** be careful what you delete tho as it could cause problems etc etc, which I can not be accountable for etc etc ***
Great tip! I saw it first on PocketDubai and alreay appled it. Device works right now, I mean actually WORKS
yeah that must of been were i read it first, could not find the link, but figured i would post it here in case anyone missed it
The antivirus software DOES NOT install itself in hard reset (on my imate k-jam and others too). If its not listed in your "remove programs" then its not installed. So all this talk of the k-jam speeding up when you remove the cab file from the extended rom is pointless. Unless of course there are different roms on the devices?

It's not on mine either , its on the SP5 in the program window but not on my K-Jam . UK Version.. Like the Jam maybe there are differnt external ROM builds???

It does install and consume memory/storage/processor. An easy experiment is to do a cold boot of your device, then look at the storage and memory utilization. Next remove the file indicated and do a cold boot. Examine the numbers again and you will find that they are higher. Ergo something has been removed. I would say that the AV program removes itself from the Installed software list as a means of preventing Viruses from spotting it.

It does install, but it hides from the add remove programs list as robinton says
Mine doesn't seem to have anything antivirus related installed as applications or in the registry.
Is this confirmed and working and how much faster does this make the k-jam/how noticable?
Thx.
does anybody know if the QTEK 9100 installs the same anti-virus software? Just received mine yesterday and think that it runs really slowly in comparison to my old Ipaq 3850!!
I appreciate that it isn't an "apples for apples" comparison, but my IPaq is over 3 years old and runs like a dream - even put TT5 on it and it runs better than on brand new Qtek! :?:
Install total commander and find out.
I have the Sprint PCS (CDMA, US) version of this phone. The extended ROM includes a program that hides everything it loads from the add/remove programs list. I'm assuming the other versions do to.
Unfortunately my extended ROM space is visible, but not writeable or erasable.
I'm wondering, before I try it, will the same technique work for the SkyPE?
Ok, I'll reply to my own post.
I installed Total Commander. I went to the Extended_Rom dir, and moved the av and skype out and into My Docs. Did a hard reset and wham! No more av or skype. Skype was a 2.6m file. Funny thing is, Looking in My Docs, I don't find them.
The device is a bit more peppy now.
I can't seem to find the file mentioned anywhere in my extended ROM. I've using the KJAM WWE 1.1.9.106 EXTENDED ROM version.
Any ideas?
oli
I have WWE 1.1.9.104 EXTENDED ROM, that could be why.
Guys, I have an odd problem - can someone advise?
I just upgraded to the new Dutch 6.1 ROM and also installed Opera 9.5. Firstly, I have to say that these two moves have completely transformed the Kaiser - the new Opera is spot on. (only small problem I can see is the TCMPM no longer works)
Problem is that my Remove Programs list now contains just Resco Backup and Oper 9.5. I have tons of now useless software on the device, but it isn't showing up. I guess this might be because I reinstalled everything via Resco Backup, rather than installing the individual files. Is there a way to refresh the list of installed programs so that I can go through uninstalling them?
You will need to reinstall every one of the programs first then uninstall...
This might be a pain but its safest way!
good thinking - clumsy, but it works. thanks
How do I uninstall/remove som of the preset application wich came with the Diamond? Because many of them I don't need, like:
Bubble Breaker, Excel Mobile, FastGPS, and RSS Hub.
I can only use ActiveSync to uninstall the programs I've allready installed myself.
So how do I do this? And is it a bad idea? Maybe removing some applications will cause something not to work properly? Please state as much info as you possibly can.
Anyone..??
uhm .. read first about flashing new roms (guides and how-to you can find in the ROM sub-section) and then pick that ROM that suites your needs
Since nobody wants to cook a clean 'lite' official rom without all the excess baggage that all rom makers simply love to include... my only option is to choose a rom which is as close as possible to a lite official rom
which of these cooked roms is the cleanest of them all?
One which has as many nonsense official programs removed and as little other useless programs added
btw, i consider programs like batti a useless program becos i'm using o2 plus which has a nicer battery display meter and comes with a better task mgr... you guys should try it

Hi, just tell me what you want to remove in the LITE part of my LITEHEAVY ROM, and I will go in that direction!
We need a real clean ROM, only or near windows mobile 6.1.
I don't need Internet Explorer 6, TouchFlo, Office, Album, Manila Arcsoft_MMS_WVGA, MP3Trimmer, VoiceRecorder, VideoTelephony JBlendJava_WVGA, StreamingMedia, PictureEnhancement, SocialNetworksEngine, ZIP
I want to have the oportunity to install everything from cabs or use 3rd party software

At first, i wanna thank pzucchel for his great work on his rom's!
I think the way to make clean rom's and let the user install what he needs is the totally right way, but i wouldn't go that far and remove anything. IMHO removing office or even TouchFlo will be too much - i don't know if its possible to make cabs of them to install this programs or ui later...
But, as i say above, it's the totally right way, cleaning the rom and let the user install what he wants!
I think that most of htc top bar enhancement are useless, for me. I always turn off "enlarge start menu", "htc task manager" and "LargeTitleBar".
i've saw pzucchel's rom and i think it is far too complicated for a very simple concept
all i want is a rom as takhs has said, with everything stripped off and given as a .cab package
this is similar to what christonge has done with the touch diamond...
with such a lite rom, there will no longer be any need for anymore rom builders because we can install the lite rom and 'cook' our own roms by choosing what we wish installed and what not

I think a super clean ROM would be great, too. I always want little apps like MP3 Trimmer and the Office apps but I NEVER use them!

i better understand. If you make the ULTIMATE list of applications to remove, i can compile a ROM for you. I doubt, however, that you will be happy. Sometimes, to find the RIGHT cab (all available cabs for standard built-in applications are hacks/patches that could have little issues) is very difficult, and you'll start installing incompatible cabs. But if YOU manage it, and you make the exact and final list of applications to remove, i can make the ultra-lite version of my ROM. By the way, these are probably 10 clicks removing folders that you could also do on the preparred kitchen which i put on the thread of my ROM. BTW, i do understand your need but i am not fully sure it is the solution.
All the best!

Absolutely correct - this is as LITE as it could. BTW, all really WHITE ROMs, at the end, will be identical and dependent only on the core build of WM.
BlackDragon, how MUCH you gain in responsiveness by removing apps like youtube? i always thought that the apps not installing services, autostart etc.etc. would not affect the performances...or not?
Ok, I see a lot of customisation done here, so I think it's time to make a rom based on user requests. Of course, please don't ask for headset, BT, SD, wifi, this will of course be added when found.
Just post what kind of rom you would like, and we will try to find a list of good programs to include.
Criteria are: small programs, specially usefull, and (possibly) free to use in a rom.
Adding as much as possible in a rom is counter productive, as it grabs more storage space than installing the cab afterward.
My guess is that programs should be in the following categories:
GPS aid tools
Phone aid tools
Today plugin tools
Memory and system managment tools
Core functionality
Default settings
The following post will compile what has been selected. Rom will be created when enough input is aquired. Requests can be done for removal also (like games for example)
now fire your requests
----Reserved--------
To me it is sufficient that there was an application that gives me the opportunity to do everything with your fingers. Without using the scrollbar. As in Mr gullum ROM. Thanks for this opportunity to express your wishes.

ClearTemp v1.2 (http://www.freewareppc.com/utilities/cleartemp.shtml)
would like....
i would like one that has only the phone, text messages, touchflo (if possible) and GPS, for everything else we have the Vista side like office, messenger and any other app we could possibly want.
botton line the less you put in it the faster it will be and still leave room to install any other app an specific user may want.
just my 2 cents.
BTW great work we are all very thankfull for all your hard work and that goes to cmonex and the rest of your team.
thanks
Call firewall and what you have listed chat of some type (I use yahoo)
i would love to have a ROM based on MANILA or POINT UI or throttle launcher.
i know that there is not much space. but it can be done ( for some resone it works slow..)
please, im willing to donate ( again!!) to the one that will creat that kind of ROM. ( no need for SnupVue...or Office..
10x!
Your current rom is almost perfect. Everybody can install the programs they want. Only I would like have speaker phone forced on like iOO did in his rom and those three themes can be replaced with just one black snapvue theme. And also it should be possible to soft reset from wm side so you dont have to start vista to do that.
Less is more
Actually I would like to see more stripped out all non-essential files/ anything to make more room for programs and data!
I see you put the HTC tools in there, but with the exception of USBTool,RealVGA and cab install support - I wonder how many times I will fire up GPS Debugging...
There maybe some housecleaning opportunities in the Windows Directory (temp files and other such....)
A good screen rotation utility would be nice - I use Mobipocket for WM for reading ebooks and it also has the nice side effect of rotating the WinMo display (if you rotate the display within MobiPocket it keeps the WinMo display rotated after you exit the reader) *** side note to ask MobiPocket to enable rotation in the desktop version of their tool (funny that they didn't think to put it in there - if enough people harangue them from this forum maybe?) - which I also have running on the Vista side and it sets my teeth on edge to know that i can't rotate the display...grrr.... ****
So I am ok on the screen rotation - but maybe others dont want to install Mobipocket........
Anything that would help battery life -- power miser settings set as default in most things that you might otherwise have to configure --
Lean and mean........
thanks for the current state - which rocks!
Shame on HTC for crippling such a neat device.

Sudipta
I'm registering all requests and also lean on to a clean rom.
lean for me too
first, thanks to all the ROM cooks. i have tried almost all of them and am now using thaihugo's latest. i haven't had this much fun configuring and reconfiguring a machine since installing Slackware 1.1 in 1994.
what a sad loser, i am. well, insomniac anyway.
i'd like a really lean ROM because i like to install my own selection of stuff: pocketxpdf, tcpmp. quickmenu, putty. i don't even need Activesync or the built in e-mail client and calendar. for me, it would be great if anything that i could easily install myself was left out.
Is it possible to include 800X480 resolution driver to fully utilize the screen. Thank you very much!
I've followed your requests here:

wow, fast.. Maybe a easy way, to customize your ROM with standard European language packs.
(french, italia, german, spain,..
I Would prefer a ROM BASE on WinMo 6.1 as UDK's rom was cause it worked fine with haret.
I Woud like a complete Rom With:
- GPS Fix
- QuickGPS
- Phonestuff enabled
- Google Maps (if you have it working with GPS)
- Opera
- TouchFlo (if possible =)
Apps: (prefered as cabs to install them when needed)
- IM Slick
- Mobile Office
- Total Commander
- Finger Keyboard (If it will will work)
- GoogleMaps
- Adobe Reader
I liked your roms but they wont work with haret.
So hopefully will work in future !

SnapVue Cab
What I really want (and have no clue how to do) is the SnapVue as a today plugin cab.
Love your Light ROM (it is my current one). However, I love SnapVue as a concept also. Some things to think about/fix (?):
-The clock allows you to open it to the alarms and Time Zones (I am using a plug in similar to the SnapVue Clock/Calender)
-The "Settings" button is remapped to programs OR opens a shortcut tab for key programs (customisable)
-The Plugin does not "steal" all the real estate. Currently it covers the scroll bar so you can not add other plugin above or below it. This is very irritating (particularly for me who has several plugins).
Currently, I can only get SnapVue (with other ROMS) to work with other plug-ins if I use RealVGA. However, using RealVGA then stops my spb Travel Assistant working (don't understand why).
Food for thought
Cheers
even lighter if possible!
I am using Age of Reason, and it is fantastic - I now even have space to store a bit of my own audio and video. I have also just installed the new YouTube WM application from m.youtube.com which works but has very jerky motion.
I am using TCPMP, so have no use for WMP. I also do not use ActiveSync, so if that was optional, it would save me some space (as well as having to kill it from time to time).
I still think that any item that is available in a simple CAB install might as well be left out, unless it takes up less space by burning it into the ROM.
Thanks again for all your efforts.

Actually, removing this component will make you lose memory, so it's better to keep them. Don't ask me why, but it is this way. WMP and activesync are system components...
Need i say more? Thanks for this great ROM! Age of reason is on my shift and it works great!
