For example to remove or disable "about".
delete all about files in rofs2

copy to sys/bin in rofs2 and flash - no more about app.

open msg.rxx and change the words to what you like, remember if you adding larger words the file size will have to be changed.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#14. Changing languages
I've successfully deleted unneeded languages in my phone. Those languages don't appear on any selection lists anymore. It didn't free up tons of memory (only a few MB), but a little is better than nothing.
ADDING languages on the other hand is very tricky and the easiest way to do it, is downloading a FW with your own
language pack and delete the unwanted languages from there.
First thing is finding out which language has which numbers. So get them from here:
Language code tables
Choose which languages to remove from your particular phone and make a list of their numbers. Do NOT include English (01), since it can't be removed.
Edit languages.txt in \resource\Bootdata\ Remove the unneeded language numbers. Don't touch the contents in any other way.
Do a search of your rofs folder. Search for files named *.Rnn (nn stands for a language number you want to get rid of. if you want to get rid of language '99', then search for *.R99) Delete all such files. Repeat the search for all unwanted language numbers.
\private\101F4CD2\Content\
\resource\xhtml\
\resource\applicationhelps\
Inside these folders, there are other folders named with numbers corresponding to each language. Delete those language folders you don't need.
Dig into \private\10207254\themes\ and find the homescreen files deep there within folders named '1.0'. The files usually end with *.o00nn. Again the two last digits stand for a language. Unneeded ones are usually safe to delete.
Find files called T9*.dll in \sys\bin\ Do not delete the files T9English.dll or T9rel.dll. Other languages can be deleted.
\resource\qwerty\ Do not delete the file PtiQwertyEnglish.rsc. The others may be deleted.
\resource\multitap\ Same applies to these rsc files; Do not delete English.
