 | CUSTOM TX ROM - works
Here is a custom rom for your TX
removed are: Addit, the "jake coco" video from media, launcher backrounds
added are: netfront, filez,drive move,voice memo, better sample backgrounds
install instructions: - download THIS
- extract it to card directly
- backup TX (NVBackup, not anything else)
- hard reset TX (to make sure of no conflicts with flasher app, don't do this if you're feeling lucky)
- insert card
- click "TX updater"
- plug in power
- click "proceed"
- wait through 4 resets
- restore from backup
- enjoy
To answer the questions beforehand:
Q: tools?
A: no i did not use any off the shelf tools. I wrote all tools i used to accoomplish this. :-)
Q: dangerous?
A: this does not edit the full rom, just a part of it
Q: can you {include,remove} $APP?
A: Only if you can be very convincing

| Alright, I talked to Dmitry during this beast's creation, so I'm first in line to test it. Well, here goes nothing.
Edit: I like my TX2.
Here's my notes:
go
copying update files
reset...
and back on
progress bar scrolling
palm powered logo
reset 2
english selected
reset again
reset again
reset again
palm powered logo
maxX
palm powered
welcome: setup your device
gah, launcher has no background
now to hotsync

| Looks good.
Q: What do you gain by doing this?
Q: Any way to just remove the files without adding anything?
Thanks

| So this just takes a few things out of ROM and adds a few more. Why didn't you remove Quick Tour? I think I'll be brave and give it a go.

| Dmitry,
Disregard last msg. You CHEEKY MONKEY, you fixed my TX!!! Wow, I am impressed. What a great bit of coding you did.
Why the hell aren't you working for Palm, Palmsource, PAlmone, etc, etc...
Thanks for the great programs you make  | |

| Man Dmitry, it's so great, you're working on 10 projects at the same time and it's all great! It's like christmas all year with you!
I'm going to install next version, so some little bugs are squeezed.

| My Experience
I followed the instructions and they worked fine:
Notes:
During selective restore I had soft resets and cleared them by not restoring anything that had
NF3
HRFont
McFile in it.
Drive Mode did not work as expected. The PC did not recognize the drive, it would not appear on the list of avaialble drives on my PC (WIN XP updated)
When he said extract to card directly, do not select Palm/Launcher, WinZip put it directly in Palm/Launcher and the first time, I tried I had a Palm/Launcher/Palm/Launcher folder that contained the TXUpdater files.
"Web" still appeared and when I tapped it, Blazer launched. Is that expected or did I do something wrong?
Great Effort and results, Dmitry! | |

| wow, this is just too good to be true.... what wonderful news..
Great going dmitrygr!
I read somewhere on another forum that (custom crafted ROM) where removing unnecessary OEM apps from ROM allows you gain extra cache space on NVFS (RAM) therefore will give users slightly more DB Cache storage, resulting in less flooding on DBcache, enhancing the unit. Is this somewhat similar?
Let me guess, NetFront (the Latest version 3.1?)
BTW, I have CJKOS on my TX by default, will this TX2 ROM wipe it out? Coz I do use it to view some Chinese documents though I don't use it for input.
removing the QuickTour is also a good idea.
