i had a thread about that subject which was sadly lost in the crash along with the thread about the newest firmware :(
it was about creating custom roms for the 900c (maybe hpc2000 900 too). it would be based on the latest revision, OS firmware version 2.02, would include fixes, needed dll's, useful registry hacks, useless stuff like the citrix install cab would be removed, and so on... i would like to hear what additions/hacks you think would be most useful.
so far i made two custom roms (and experimented a lot a few weeks ago... this will be resumed soon!), one has a modified explorer.exe (i know it can be done with mui's too), to make the low backup battery warning disappear for ever (i had a funny story about that but i know that's been lost too). this one isn't really interesting, but the other one sure looks cool with a replaced gwes.exe and commctrl.dll, giving the 900c the "xp look" that some other cenet devices have by default (such as the sig3). i know it sounds funny but i like my 900c a lot better since then :rofl:
let me show a photo below... :cool:
other plans also include working out how to replace a module (not file) in rom, and to fully delete files. the best would be if we could replace coredll.dll too..with a better version. that'll be a very hard task...
but i have even crazier ideas too (but no word on those yet :x :rofl: )
