Yeah, the first time your turn the device on it's actually standard WM, but a customization script starts running that installs all the CABs, changes the Today theme with the Sprint one, etc. Bascially it does the Sprint customization in front of you.

Also, out of all those CABs, there's one of the Audible apps that can be uninstalled from Remove Programs, all the other ones do not appear.

Hmm, looks like all of the cabs in the ExtRom can be thrown out. I will be more detailed later, but they all do minimal things.

Can someone try to extract the cabs from the rom itself? You may need to stop the customizations after a hard reset and extract the cabs before they run.

[chiromikey]

so can we just interupt the boot after a hard reset and prevent sprints entire extended rom to install without any obvious side effects?

[wowthatisrandom]

so i interupted it with a soft reset... and nothing install yay!... now i would love to make a custom rom any help would be great... how do i unlock the extended_rom folder so i can see it thru my PC?

[colonel]

Well, has anyone tried to unlock and unhide the ExtRom? Also, has anyone been able to copy out the cabs that are actually in the rom?
