How to Customize a Custom Rom: Adding/Removing Programs

Any help is greatly appreciated.

It may have something to do with greloc, but I'll have to look into the addresses and all. I'll find an answer somewhere...or you can let me know. It is pool/bar night....

I don't know what greloc is but I'll try and do some research.

Customizing a rom before you flash. Just my little tutorial doesn't appear to be working on some the post-GPS roms, I'll verify that this evening.

Yes you can still install them through a windows file explorer like you do now, or with user customization.

This tutorial is about adding files before you flash your new rom.

Did you ever figure out why we are not able to "edit" this ROM to our suiting? I've followed directions exactly but when I go to re-flash, I am stuck at the PPCKitchen screen and must reflash back to OMJ's original ROM. Thanks for your help in all this.

I haven't really had a chance to look at it...I am reading what I can about the rom itself so when I get time on maybee sunday???? I will crank out a solution to the problem. Gotta be something with memory locations....The problem arose when:

1. I thought it was safe to release this...
2. The new altell rom+radio hit which screwed up my methods.

Or if someone else knows why dogguy's kitchen can't handle the new rom's...feel free to share!

I'm a n00b at this and am just getting the hang of flashing. I just loaded Ghetto's ROM and will try your methods on it. Will let you know what happens. As far as trouble shooting goes. I can try out your suggestions but am not capable of coming up with solutions on my own at this point.
