ProvXML Reference for Developers

As an update, I'm going to first take all the file operations and convert those to a regular initflashfiles.txt file and see what happens. Most of what I've seen in the ..\SYS folder are file operations and security certs...

I'm sure with all that file moving around, that should speed it up....anyone got a stopwatch? I forgot I use an app on my phone...

Generally speaking (non-PPCKitchen) is finding these things just the trial and error process of opening up the various provxml files?

for example ... things like:
ActiveSync
Calendar
Contacts
Help
Internet Explorer
Internet Sharing
Messaging
Notes
Phone

I've learned (thanks to your examples and tips) how to move/delete these with (prov)XML (_setup.xml) in a FileOperation.cab, but as I am learning, that is simply taking more time to do something that was just done as part of the phone setup.

I'm trying to follow, but am I on the right track, here?

EDIT: It looks as if most of what I was / am looking for is in initflashes.dat.


Best regards,

I've been doing a lot of research in regards to these files and am planning on posting my compiled findings, but I wanted to check in with ya'll first.
specifically did you notice any speed improvement rstoyguy? I'm guessing only @ first boot.
2nd, has anyone proven mxip_update files are ran @ soft reset? I'm betting not.
