XDA ROM Hacking
"It all started when we wanted access to some of the files which reside in the ROM of the device, so we could understand the RIL (Radio Interface Layer) mechanism better. The PocketPC OS wouldn't give these files to us, claiming we didn't really need them since they were in ROM. So we started digging into how these files were stored, and ended up understanding the ROM layout enough for us to be able to create our own ROM images. This page describes our own ROM image, which we dubbed 'XDA developers Special Edition ROM'."
These enterprising folks have managed to create a new, custom, unofficial ROM for the O2 XDA. While at it, they crammed a ton of software and tools into the ROM. It's great to see the community inventing solutions like this, and I'd love to see if people have done similar mods for other Pocket PC devices.
(Disclaimer: do note that attempting to use this ROM probably invalidates any warranty you may have on your Pocket PC Phone...)
