yes tcpmp should be simple. If I'm not mistaken u can set that with the initflash file....but I may be wrong. What I have been doing it editing reg entries to point to the windows directory, and placing files there.

Aha! Thanks for the tip! I want to put the logmein files there, too!

Wideawake 01-18-2007 06:12 PM

I'll gladly share if anyone's interested. I was also planning on adding a browser that shows the "pixels" nicely. Don't know about sharing that one...

I've tracked down the initflashfile syntax to make directories and move file to them. It looks like it just copies the files from \Windows to \Program Files and takes up internal storage after all. I think your changing the Reg entries and pointing everything to \Windows is the way to go to save space!

Just to clarify as I am starting to play.

"3. Now you wanna cut you nk.nba from this folder and move over to the folder named 2. IMGFS Tools. Once you have the nbf in the folder you can run the nba_to_dump.bat. This will convert your nbf file into a DUMP folder. This folder contains both files (ones not in folders) and modules (the ones in folders). You can modify this folder as needed for your custom Rom. "

You start by referencing the .nba file then switch and mention the nbf file twice. I am assuming that this is a typo, but just want to catch things as I am going through this so it doesn't confuse others.

Also, before people go wild with this, should there be some ground rules about what can or cannot be put in the Rom?

More specifically, I am planning on trying to get some apps in that are not freeware. Obviously this can bring about some rights issues if I freely distribute Voice Command, iGuidance, etc. Of course the don't ask don't tell is always an option.

Bushrod 01-18-2007 06:50 PM

I would definitely NOT distribute commercial apps in your rom! I'd say that thing that require serial numbers would be ok as the user could enter their own serial number, like Memmaid or Resco Explorer.

colonel 01-18-2007 07:09 PM

Good points Bushrod. Apps that required serial numbers or had trials would be fine, but could also eat space for people who don't want (want to pay for) them.

Also, saw you on the xda site about WM6. Did you get it running on anything or were you just grabbing it while you could?

Wideawake 01-18-2007 07:17 PM

lets not get off topic here. I would only put freeware actually into the ROM unless its for personal use only and u own a copy. ;)
