The extended ROM is the area where the CABs are stored that run when the device does it's post hard reset 'customisation'.

On the Ameo, you can view the Extended ROM by installing Total Commander, and typing path '\Extended_ROM\'.

You'll find the following CABs...

BBConnect_PocketPC_TMO_single_2[1].1.2.49.cab
BB_FileAttribute_20061115.CAB
MP_CVSDcpl_20060920.cab
MP_JetCet_ppc_v4.2.533_FileAttribute.cab
MP_JetCet_ppc_v4.2.533_WWE.cab
MP_MMS35_OMA_CP_PPC_060717.cab
MP_Opera865_2211_HTCCustomization_UK_012507.CAB
PP_pIE_DefaultPage_TMO_UK.CAB
PT_ATI_Athena_Dshow_RC1.9.CAB
PT_DRM_Opera_Browser.cab
PT_DRM_UAProfile_Athena.cab
PT_Version_UK.CAB
ShowDRMUI.CAB
WM5_PPC_HTC_Opera865_2211.cab

...and I have included a description of each for your convenience, so you can just install the ones you want.

Hope this is useful! Remember, none of these CABs have uninstall flags set, so once they're on, they're on!
