- - Official List of Necessary ExtRom Cabs For Each Carrier (http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=3660)

Thanks Jamesus.

Now it would be nice to know what the optional cabs for a specific carrier like Sprint per say do so we can know if we want them installed or if they are useful to us.

The ones that are mandatory in the list you need in order for your phone to function properly. The others you can search for, as I think they are documented in the Wiki or in threads.

I have uploaded the ExtRom for Cellular South to the FTP ExtRom folder if you would like to update the Official List to include Cellular South.
As far as what is necessary/not I have used around many different roms (stock, custom, personalized) and have tried all of them with Carrier Customizations and without, and all seemed to work fine (with a few minor exceptions). So, as far as my experience is concerned, none of the ExtRom cabs are necessary for Cellular South but installing them helps a little.

hi, i figured that this has been answered in another post, but there is anyone that tellme how to backup my original rom so i can reinstall it in case of warranty

If you are with a US carrier, you can download your orginal ROM at www.utstar.com. If you're with a canadian or another country's carrier then you'll have to look on their web site to see if they offer a ROM update package. There no easy way to back up the ROM off the phone itself.

If I update with one of the new kitchens, will that recover the ext rom partition space? It'd be kinda sad to have all those MBs of useless space :cry:

I'm running across a problem if anyone can help me with a bluetooth stack. I ran the ext Rom and install the necessary caps on the ext rom file but now my bluetooth seems to lost its power. When I get conected to a phone call I hear a lot of static and if I'm 5 feet away from the phone literally it will get disconected and this is on an area that has all the bars. I'm using a 6700 from Sprint.

If anyone can help me?

*IOTA.sa.CAB - Installs for Vision provisioning.

*PP_IOTA_v1_10_Apache_206300.sa.CAB - Installs something called jTelDll.dll. Has to do with IOTA.

*Cert_SPCS.CAB - Disables the security feature from asking permission to run a certain program.

*Cert_SPCS.sa.CAB - Installs certificate.

*Customize_SPCS.sa.CAB - Installs some sprint customization.

+DirectShow.sa.CAB - Has to do with windows media player. Seems to be associating avi,3gp,mp4,m4a,mid,midi,rmi,amr,awb,3g2,qcp with that program.

+Enable_RingTone.sa.CAB - Related to RTPlugin_CDMA.sa.CAB. Seems to give option to set midi, mp3, amr, etc for ringtones.

+PhoneSetting_HelpFile.sa.CAB - Adds PhoneSetting.htm help file and add Clear Voicemail Icon setting.

+PowerICON.sa.CAB - Removes Bottom right battery icon.

+PP_ErrCodeForSPCS_Apache_206300.sa.CAB - Installs code translation. i.e. instead of Error Code 64 it will say "Unknown error. Sign in failed. Please try again. If the problem persists, turn your phone off then turn it on again."

+PP_Version_Apac_206303.sa.CAB - Adds in HKLM\SOFTWARE\OEM\3rdversion string MSYSTEM = 2.06.303 WWE which apparently makes a Item in Device Information called ExtROM with a description of 2.06.303 WWE.

+PT_RemoveHTCBatteryICON_Apache_206300.sa.CAB - Removes bottom right battery icon and remove title bar clock.

+ResString.sa.CAB - Has something to do with HKLM\Security\ResOver with parm name 56. Replaces Regcover.

+RTPlugin_CDMA.sa.CAB - Lets you have option of "set as ringtone" where it will copy the file to /windows/rings.

+TimeSnyc.sa.CAB - Makes it so that the time sync option is visible under Phone setting. Funny thing is that it's visible by default.

+ButtonLock.sa.CAB - Change button lock from Do not Lock buttons to Lock all but power.

Can you update the first post with this description (and/or the description found here http://pdaphonehome.com/forums/ppc-6...laination.html), and also if know, please post the descriptions for Verizon, and the other carriers. I think this would help a lot.

EDIT: I found a description of the Verizon Roms. Here is a link to the post. http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showpost.p...99&postcount=1 (Scroll towards the bottom for a description). Same info here. http://www.zdziarski.com/papers/xv6700.html
