the only way I'm aware of is to purchase the Palm TX Wifi Update http://www.palm.com/us/software/esu/ This includes a copy of the original ROM files... Then follow the instructions - which are basically the same procedure you did to flash the ROM in the first place only using those ROM files instead of TX2 ROM files.

Install TX ROM

Last night I went through the entire forum making notes, and went through the install. Here are my notes gathered from the forum:

Code:

Palm T|X ROM2
Custom ROM for TX 6/18/2006
removed are: Addit, the "jake coco" video from media, launcher backrounds

added are: netfront, filez, drive mode, voice memo,  sample backgrounds
   graffiti 1.99
6/18 small fonts for netfront
6/20 version with working drivemode
6/20 Quick tour removed
Drive mode works 

Install instructions:

   1. download http://www.palmpowerups.com/file/TX2.ROM.zip?uniq=56
   
2. extract it to card directly 
[unzipped to 16M SD card using PC card reader]
Palm/Launcher/
	TXUpdater.prc 
	TXUpdater_enUS.prc 
Palm/TXUpdate/
	overflow.zip.a.pdb
	overflow.zip.b.pdb 
	overflow.zip.c.pdb
	overflow.zip.d.pdb
	overflow.zip.e.pdb
	RomUpdater.prc 

   3. backup TX (NVBackup, not anything else) 
[backed up everything to 2G card in T|X]
   4. Hard reset TX (reset while holding down the power button) 
       to make sure of no conflicts with flasher application.
   5. insert card 
[16Meg SD with updates]
[NVBackup 'pristine' T|X to 16Meg SD card, ended up with 880K free. 
Be sure to do this if you have the Palm 'upgrade' installed you may need]
   6. Launch "TX updater"
   7. Be sure you have plugged in power and battery fully charged.
   8. click "proceed"
   9. Update goes through 4 resets while installing. Don't panic :-)
  10. Do a "selective restore" from NVBackup (from step 3) 
       just select all files then deselect applictions/data you don't want restored.

Included backgrounds too dark. I deleted and installed my own.
As I understand the hard reset process, there is a data base in ROM that has a list of 'stuff' that is copied to RAM. There is already a selective install list, when you select the language you want to use!

WIBNI on a hard reset, the user could select which optional applications were installed from ROM? Kind of like the language selection, default having everything checked and deselect the things you don't want installed to RAM. This would also take care of most of the requests for things to leave out.

**WIBNI = Wouldn't It Be Nice If

Sjweise Registered User Join Date: Feb 2004 Posts: 983	Yes, just install the drive mode file(s) into ram. I had them on my TX priot to the rom flash. __________________ Visor to M515 to T3.5 to TX (now a paperweight) to Treo 650 (another paperweight) to Treo 680 + Universal Wireless Keyboard (collecting dust) + 4gb SD card + Ipod video 30gb (classic white).
