Yes i know, I am working on a bigger project now, it invloves lots of testing though. Hopefully it will increase overall performance with everything.

I am converting all my OEM so that they will be install into the Program files directory. this will free up the files that are going into the Windows folder. less files in there means it should run better, and take less time searching with fewer files to search through.

It is a work in progress and i hope to have it done sometime.

Won't a copy still be in the Windows folder? This is a question I asked once before on how to remove the copy (renamed) files from the window folder since they are no longer in use and I was told that it wasn't really possible. If thats changed could you please PM me a link to the information?

I need to change it from the install location, editing the initiflashfile.txt. if i change the location that it will install it at. it will not place a copy in the windows folder. I will then have to change the registy that has this location. and then have to test everything. because some stuff might have to be in the same locations. like camera and album, might have to be in the same place in order for it to work properly, i am going to be doing a lot of editing and everything else. once i get it, I will post some oem so everyone can enjoy it.

It is not possible using current tools.

initflashfile.txt does not determine install location. For ROMs, the install location is /windows. You can not change it.

I believe you hinted to provxml as being the possible way to do the above? Sorry for the off topic guys!

gguruusa,i dont understand why this wouldnt work.

new sprint leaked rom cam with quick gps installed to /windows. that's easily moved to program files... you could essentially do it with everything provided that you can change its path in the rgu as well so the OS knows where to point.

does initflashes.txt not mandate where a file is placed, and if one does not exist or the file is only referenced in DSM it is placed in /windows?

that seems ot be the way my kitchen operates.

It does but only after the fact. The initflashfile.txt only "copies" the program from windows and places it into what ever folder you decide. If there is no file listed in the initflash.txt or it doesn't exist, the program is then placed in the default folder which is windows. Based on another thread that was being dicussed, the provxml is the best way or at the very least, a possible way, to "move" and then delete the copy..however, I was also told that that process happens after the build process and thus making the file a "rom" file and not possible to delete.

Of course I am still trying to wrap my head around this so...

correct provxml's only move copies of files out of rom to other directories they cannot delete them.
