custom roms for 900c!

I'll have my 900C on Thursday. I'd like to try the beta.

sure, hopefully it'll be ready by then

Because if you only remove the resources, it will only make the "Warning window" invisible, but you may have remaining side effects.


great !

BTW, which UI components do you want to include in your last ROM ? my cobalt skin or the new GShell desktop, including HPC Explorer Classic ? the whole package is quite big, because there are many bitmaps, but I can make a "light version" which would spare some space in your ROM.
A suggestion: there is a simple way to regain some space in your ROM - instead of adding many MUI files, why don't you edit resources in Dlls and Exes directly ( Ceshell, coredll, explorer, gwes, etc.) ? I can do it for you, if necessary: just send me the required uncompressed system files.

i've sent a reply to your email thanks

Maybe cmonex could somehow map just the internet cache and other frequent writing functions to the ram.
PS And I will try the beta also. I will probably do it on my partly broken down 900c once I get back from Florida (On Friday) (and on my old 900c the keyboard doesn't stay in completely or work right and the calibration of the touch screen is SCREWY)

yep i said installing a ramdisk purely for the IE / opera cache is possible. it could be an option if not many people want it.

thanks for offering help with beta testing

Ya. I just saw that. I posted before reading the rest. Either way though it would most likely hurt the life of the internal storage card. On my MP790 I mapped the IE cache to the internal storage and it corrupted it. So now I got a 790 with a bad internal storages card. Then I got my MP900c and gave the 790 to my brother he just keeps a CF card in it all the time. Another example is I use Firefox on my USB drive. The people who compiled it made the cache go onto the RAM of the computer so it wouldn't continuously write to the USB drive and destroy the life of the drive. So ya... Thats my 2 cents.
Thanks,
Bensawsome

heh the 790 probably has NOR flash. the NAND in 900c lasts a much longer time, by the way WM5/WM6 devices get along with IE cache in their rom (NAND) just fine. but yeah this ramdisk will be an option if not for anything else then for speed maybe

Not to hijack the thread, but is there a way to reformat the flash storage ROM in Ben's 790 to make it usable again?

well, I screwed up the internal disk in a 900 once, by trying to format it with various utils (goal was to zero out all the bytes, i.e. full format). in the end I got a disk that went from 32MB to 0.5MB.

psdwrite revived it. but that's an ARM only program (and remote from PC). but, isotherm wrote a small app to do the same ondevice, both for ARM and MIPS. if he doesn't have it anymore, then I can get it rewritten. next time he's on IRC I'll ask

hopefully just that's the problem, screwed up formatting

Any chance of a wpa aes driver for prism based wifi adapters?

if you provide me with the driver or a download link to it, then sure, why not.
