Hi everyone,
After loads of hardwork by cmonex I am testing a new smartbook ROM.
BookDigital hacked the cplmain.cpl so they would hide the fact the rom was shadow
(loads into and runs from ram not the rom
).
It appears so far cmonex's fix allows correct reporting of ram and looks to have fixed stability issues. I have tested at length since Sunday, including trying certain action that would always crash the original OS and often result in a hard re-set required, and so far have not had a single crash. I have also done a few soft re-sets and not had the OS not work following them.
Looks like the hacked cplmain.cpl was causing apps to write into areas of ram occupied by the rom
(well best guess here
).
Anyway I will quote cmonex's post with all roms she built. There are some XIP ones
(OS runs from rom
) but they are slow to the point I wouldn't recommend them.

Hope you all enjoy the results of cmonex's hard work and would be glad if anyone trying it reports any bugs or crashes.
I am now going to try and build a custom rom in the same mould as the 900c one
(though more basic to start with
). Progress will be reported here.
If anyone would like to suggest must have apps, utilities etc. please drop them in this thread so I can collate requirements to make it as usefull to as many people as possible.
Thanks for reading
John
