Announcing XDA-developers Special Edition ROM v1.1

Version 1.1 of the Special Edition ROM is now out:
Fixed:
- Based on O2 3.17.03 ROM: annoying reply to SMS bug fixed
- Everyone can now use GPRS
- Pocket IE opens GPRS connection
- Serial ActiveSync now works
- Minor issues and cosmetics
New:
- Brand new version of dbView tool
- EzWAP2
- Our own band switch tool for US users, switch between all three bands
(no guarantee your hardware supports it, but at least you can now try)
This is now officially the coolest ROM for you, no matter where you live...
See the mkrom page for details on how to build this ROM (difficult), or wait for some kind soul to build the EXE, and just download and run it (easy).

Thanks a lot for your effort. I've really enjoyed the possibility to create my own ROM.
Is it possible to get a look on the source code of that welcome.exe app? So far it 's the only closed thing in your package.
thanks

XDA-developers ROM v1.1 installer
Thanks to Andre, who was online during the announcement and who sent me a message, I must have broken some speed records:
Click here to download a new and tested version of Special Edition ROM v1.1. Simply run the exe and presto...
This version fixes most if not all of the problems some people had with the 1.0 release. Thanks to the XDA-developers for doing such cool work, and for making their instructions easy to follow...

The source is online: http://xda-developers.com/mkrom/welcome101-src.zip . The source for the welcome in the previous ROM was available too. Look at the mkrom page for details...
Let us know if you come across cool tricks we could incorporate in our ROMs too.

oh, to my previous post:
nevermind, my wish is granted, found the sources on the mkrom page.
thanks

update
jeff summers, you are a prince amongst men! Ta!

This is wonderful.
My PIE & ActiveSync over GPRS are now working well with this ROM + AT&T SX56 radion on my T-mobile USA device.
Thanks again XDA Developers, and Jeff for being so 'quick' with his help!
cheers,

Jeff you're like greased lightning!!! Well done to the boys and girls at xda-developers for this update, it seriously rocks!! MaxIreland and "guest" refered to a prog called sms-char-counter....
freeware tool written from a user at a german xda forum. it's an sms-char-counter

Any more genious people out there who know where to get this from?? I'll learn german if I have to! Maybe it would be a good addition to the next version of the ROM!!
Respect to you all at xda-developers.com

Hoorah, the SMS caller identity thing has been fixed

Thank you
thank you

OK silly question...
I am here in the uk...
Last time i tried to flash my xda with the radio upgrade i lost all functions on the device and had to send it back to the service centre to be repaired...
If i run the exe that has beed kindly created is there any chance of screwing up my device again!...
I would be running via USB and the docking station that came with the decive!..
I want to do this but am a little worried after the last incident!...

thx for your great work.
is there any "diff" tool for ce, so that i know what ezwap2.5 or other programs (like an sms-counter) are installing exactly for using with mkrom?
if i got you right, then i need all files installed and all registry-entries?
is there any install-tracker on ce?
Jabba

Two questions:
Is EzWap version 2.5 MMS or 2
When you say:
"- Everyone can now use GPRS"
What do you mean exactly by this ?
Because we have a serious problem with our local operator: they "upgraded" the GPRS system (by Erickson) last week, and since then, all GPRS on Pocket PC's stopped connecting. Is the new ROM the solution ?

ezwap 2.5 has got MMS

is there a program on the new ROM which can open pdf files instead of acrobat reader?

Thanks Jeff and you wonderfull developers, This ROM is great and I didn't have to mess arround in UNIX to install it.

thx man gonna try it soon !
installed it but the autoconfig still doesn't work on my xda ?

SMS-Counter Software to include in ROM
u'll find it here (german thread in forum):
http://www.ppc-welt-community.de/showthread.php?s=&threadid=21372&highlight=smscounter
Try it.... it sits as small programm in the taskbar naming "start" (because it's right over the start button).. it runs always... taking nearly no cpu-time. when u start to write a sms then it begins to count (like nokia).

MS Transcriber can't be installed on S200 SVE?

Hello everyone!
I'm new to this forum and Qtek/HTC/I-mate but judging by what I've browsed through so far this place kicks ass.
Anyhoo... I just bought a S200 with WM5 in Swedish (the only language available here) and the damn thing lacks the transcriber. I googled a bit and found out the transcriber could be installed separately. Well.. no. Not on my S200. It just says that "transcriber is not a valid pocket-pc application". :roll:
Has anyone with a non-english s200/prophet/JAMin actually managed to install the transcriber? I was really looking forward to using that particular function, it was actually one of the main reasons I bought a non-qwerty-phone.
An option for me would be to flash the whole thing to english (I'm an Aussie so I'd actually prefer it) but is it possible to use swedish characters if the OS is english?

Hello, where can I get the Transcriber to install on my S200?? I'm on a portuguese version and I also don't have the transcriber installed

Hello...
go to http://www.smartmobile.se/ and choose S200, then u can download the file from there.. it´s working... cheers!

O2 Plus V2.3 available?

I tried to register at ce4arab.com to download O2 Plus V2.3.
Is there anybody that can download it for me? Since my Arab is very bad
I think I did manage to register but even with online translation tools I wasn't able to download the file.
Here is the link:
http://www.ce4arab.com/vb7/showthread.php?t=67549
Thanks in advance!

here u go man

sorry,this is the file

Thanks, also found it in the Atom section. Is yours a "universal" version?
Havn't been able to find a patch for this one.
There's only a patch available for O2 Plus 2.0.

Im not sure,I downloaded it from the link that u gave me.
BTW,whats ur device?

I own an HTC Wizard and an HTC Prophet.
When I try to install the program it tells me that I there has to be a program called "connect" on my device. Older versions also had this message, but there was a patch to work around this.
I will see if I'm able to solve this problem

hope u'll be able to solve it.
i want to ask u a question,did u manage to put the o2 media plus software on ur prophet?

I havn't tried O2 Media Plus, but I will have a look for you to see if I can get it and make it work on the HTC Prophet

thanks in advance,i'll look in ce4arab,maybe they cooked something like this

found one!!
this one worked for my prophet(qteq rom),here u go

Great find! Will try this later on

So is there a working version for the Wizard?

It will work on HTC himalaya?

dont know
i really dont know if it will work on the himalaya,like i said i've tryed it on my prophet with the new qteq rom

You should run this on PPC not on your PC. Just click that file on PPC and install on main memory.

Please tell me if this will work on the Wizard.

Why should someone offer himself for your curiosity?
Yes it works on the Wizard/Prophet

Does anyone feel like making some individual cabs for each or some of the plugins?
I know Last Call and I think Calendar have been done before, but what about Battery/Card/Memory, etc?
Saves space and is more convenient.

Dear Sir. I am new. Please help to explain that if I down all cab file and install manually all. Means I already up the R1 rom to R3 rom or do I need to do futher uprom process ( If yes, how can I do it )
Many thanks in advance

i guess it depends what you want to do. If you just want to upgrade your phone, then use the update-software provided by SonyEricsson. If you want to change language from one language to an other, then you need to follow the guides in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=665564
I think that the original poster of these cabs is mixing numbers. We have now MR2 available, not MR3!

Anybody got the Transcriber.cab ? With the latest Mr2 release the handwriting is gone. To get it back, we would need that transcriber cab.
I cannot find it in any of those uploaded cabs. Thanks!

big thanks!

Can't be, because all roms (that i have checked) are identical except those cabfiles that specify the language-version for the device.
If this is a special-rom, then please post here the device-info. If this differs from the list of device-infos i have on track, then i'll create a custom cab that you could use for getting the same look..

Hi.I am not of the chefs, but I will cook this build and will post here.I would recommend you 21911.Starts with 100MB free RAM and kept very well.I have some more work on it and if you care to upload it somewhere.
PS I gathered it.I'll upload tomorrow after work.

Regarding 21911, which I believe is a 6.5 ROM, I still prefer 6.5.5...
Consequently I would preffer a WWE version of above-mentioned ROM!

Hi, Pere!
Thanks for your invitation.
Glad I will help. Issue of WWE for the TG01 versions in my plans are not included, like to cook Russian ROM for Russian-speaking users TG01, because not everyone is happy with the WWE version.
If you are interested in is the WWE version may separate cook WWE ROM TG01, from you may need help in the tests the first alpha version of WWE ROM.
FV aka feropont
I'm replying him inviting him to join us on this forum. Fingers crossed!

feropont's ROM
I've been running the feropont's ROM for the last few days. It's really fast and nice-looking. feropont, many thanks for the nice job!
I've only noticed two minor drawbacks which, I hope, will be fixed in future releases. Those are: 1) Exchange server is not working as no root certificates are installed (after some hours of searching for solution I was able to solve this by installing a certificate requred by my OWA); 2) So far I've experienced two random soft-resets.

I'm running it for 10 hours, like it!
As I said before, encountered one random soft-reset so far...

One more thing. There is no Toshiba's sliding panel with arrows in this ROM , which is also a drawback in my opinion as sometimes the arrows might be useful (at least for me).

Hi!
Random reboot, paired with a set of third party software, maybe some ICQ clients, opera 10 flash, standard software in the ROM Toshiba will not be a free panel adjusts the same way would not be all that is written on a heavy DotNet, and I believe it inappropriate to use
Sorry for my bad English.
