Furthermore, unlike previous edits, where i used palm Inc.'s updater, this is purely my code, so i can distribute this freely Cool huh? __________________ Annoying me is NOT an approved way of encouraging me to produce software My software:PowerSDHC, PowerDrive, nuRom, UDMH, warpSpeed, PowerDiGi, brightnessFix, etc...

dmitrygr Software engineer/hacker Join Date: Jan 2004 Location: Silicon Valley, CA Posts: 5,061	well...i just killed a TX by flashing it as battery ran out... so maybe as soon as i add a check requiring external power before flashing :-) BUT, i did manage to throw away half the rom, and add netfront and small fonts and clie organizer on my TX :-) __________________ Annoying me is NOT an approved way of encouraging me to produce software My software:PowerSDHC, PowerDrive, nuRom, UDMH, warpSpeed, PowerDiGi, brightnessFix, etc...

_Em Beta Tester Join Date: Nov 2005 Location: Igloo Posts: 2,377	I'm thinking we should at least compile a post outlining what is NOT safe to remove. What is the bare minimum required to enable a person to boot their TX up and flash it? __________________ My Palm family: Palm T\|X ~ Palm T\|E ~ m130 ~ m125 ~ POSE

Anyone has a [broken?] TX they want to sell for cheap [i swear it's for a good cause]? i cannot finish this until i have another TX. EDIT: I bought a new TX from eBay for $173.00 very good news: the space in the ROM is quite free, so there is a lot of freedom ;-) __________________ Annoying me is NOT an approved way of encouraging me to produce software My software:PowerSDHC, PowerDrive, nuRom, UDMH, warpSpeed, PowerDiGi, brightnessFix, etc...
