In PocketPC, the ROM is a storage area where the core OS files (Windows Mobile) is loaded. This area is completely locked for modifications at user-level so you don't accidently delete any important files that may lead to mal-functioning the device. Only the ROM Upgrade packages distributed by OEM can access the locked area and and perform the upgrade or modifications with newer OS files.

Workaround to skip crap-ware installation:

If you are a pro user of Pocket PC, you definitely may not be needing these crap-ware that gets installed after hard-reset. They usually get installed onto Main Memory of your Pocket PC taking up huge memory space rather being usefull. So when you get the prompt that says "Customising your device in 3 secs" after hard-reset and aligning screen steps, just make a soft-reset and voila!

Installation in Ext.ROM RonX (59.182.55.xxx) 2007-04-22 22:50:14 Hi, I was wondering if one installes an app in Ext.ROM then upon hard reset will it still be available ? The reason is I have found an app which will send a sms when ever the sim card is changed to a receipient whose cell no you provide during setup. This app works when your handset is stolen and the sim is changed then you can easily catch the stealer :grin I had my previous wizard stolen & since then have learnt this lesson... So if a smart stealer hard resets the device before selling or changing the sim then am at los again but if this app is in exr.rom then it will still be there and get activated after hard reset also Any thoughts...

Carty (202.56.231.xxx) 2007-04-22 23:53:18 Ofcourse our software Ultimate Theft Alert can be added to Extended ROM to survive hard-reset. Our competors software lacks this facility because their softwares are installed as trial version and fail to work. But our software will work, since you add the license key and congigurations too in the Ext.ROM.. Regards, Carty.. Reply | Quote 1   0

Remove Q9H AT&T Bloatware platnm6309 (76.209.16.xxx) 2008-12-22 18:42:12 Hi, I may be in the wrong thread, and I apologize. This week I will be getting a never used brand new Motorola q9h. It is on the carrier AT&T. I was wondering if someone could possibly give me step by step instructions or a download so that I may remove this stuff? I would greatly appreciate it. Merry Christmas to All! Reply | Quote 0   0

Carty (59.97.65.xxx) 2008-12-23 15:30:16 Begin using the pocket pc, decide if you really need those bloatware, if not, hard-reset and during the initial installation prompt perform a soft-reset. Better yet, post your question here: http://pocketpc-live.com/experts-help/ Reply | Quote 0   0
