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

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...

We're glad you appreciate it. That's what we work for...

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....

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!!

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).

Hi Guys,
new to the forum and i have a couple of questions
1) Does anyone know how to configure rules - for free - in the pocket outlook on WM5?
2) The o2 UI is starting to grate on me now and i want to remove it in favour of a NORMAL today screen. can this be done?
thanks guys
I remove all o2 software when the machine is hard reset. You go through the usual cut/paste appointment, set time, password. Then you get 'tap screen to continue' after this you get a message which says something like ' 3 seconds until reconfigure ' ( i can't remember the message ). Within this 3 seconds BEFORE the o2 cr*p loads simply soft reset. easy. You get basic wm5.0 with no o2 bloat.
I find it really helps with general speed and especially screen rotate when pulling out the keyboard.
You will then need to set up gprs/mms settings yourself UNLESS someone knows which .cab file holds this info in the extended rom area...;-) I've tried them all - no luck.
Many thanks for that- i had a search around and found that if i remove the O2 things from \windows\startup then softreset i can uninstall the o2active rubbish and keep my settings. The speed difference is fantastic!!!
I've also installed an application called switch which has a tiny footprint and is brilliant for closing apps.
Still searching around for how to use outlook rules though
Also can anyone recommend a "desktop" style application (for free) so i can have a shortcuts tab in my today view?
thanks
@davidcollins01
can you please post the cab file that creates the o2 active ui? it is located in your extended rom! why i am asking? it is not there in the german version of the xda mini s....
best regards, lutz
forgive me how would i do that?
if i where you i would install the extended rom unlocker (here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=33680), then copy the files you find in that folder to sd card, zip the o2 active ui cab and attach it here
after thet delete the extended rom unlocker tool on your device and everything is like it was before.
thank you for your (upcoming) help
best regards, lutz
and if you were to find that little switch application you mentioned arlier in your extended Rom, it would be great if you could zip it too and upload it here.
Thanks!
a lot of work to do for you now
cheers, lutz
http://www.snapfiles.com/get/pocketpc/switchppc.html for the switch application
Will be working on the cab files ;-) - well trying lol
I have the attachment if someone wants to host it, send me their email address. Its all the cab files etc out of the rom.
best you can do is uploading it to rapidshare - http://rapidshare.de/ - "durchsuchen" (means browse), upload and then post the link to it here.
also there is an ftp server from xda-developers: ftp://xda:[email protected]
use the upload folder!
thank you very much!
cheers, lutz
rar file containing my entire rom extROM version 1.5.4.102 (11/08/05) Rom Version - 1.5.4.2 WWE is here - http://rapidshare.de/files/8333519/O2XdaMiniS.rar.html
Hope this helps
you're great! thank you very much!
best regards, lutz
sup lutzh, nice to see you here ;-)
anyways, that file you've uploaded to rapidshare... is that the german or the UK O2 Ext-Rom Files?
thanks,
martian
hehehe, here- there- anywhere
it's of course the uk file. if you need german - let me know. but the active ui isn't in the german rom, thats why i've asked here for it. unfortunately it is not visuable after installation - i am evaluating at the moment, what the problem is.
cheers, lutz
Its the UK O2 rom files
thanks davidcollins
Can anyone upload it onto the ftp server? I can't get it, as rapidshare does not like proxy servers...

1st Question
I see on windows directory many T9 dictionary, but I was not able to change on my sms dialog any Hint ?
2nd Question
Where are located th Voicetag ? So I can can backup it ? And The user dictionary ?
:lol: :lol:
Same question
Hi CapZicco/Forum,
I asked the exact same question a while ago, but got no response. Plz let me know if you get any response. Meanwhile, the questions stands.. any help in backing up T9 user dictionary and voice tags would be appreciated.
James
For capzicco: Are you able to connect with WIND using GPRS with no problems? In many places under Wind I'm getting an "EDGE" indicator instead of "G" but AFAIK only TIM uses EDGE so that it won't connect at all when "E" is on the display using Wind. With a TIM card all works fine in EDGE... Very strange as the 9100 works fine in the same places connecting in GPRS... Maybe radio ROM update solves...
You can backup your voice tag database between hard resets by copying the file CommandModel1.bin found under the windows folder to your pc or to the memory card. After hard reset copy it back to your windows folder and all your voice tags are back!
Thanks!
Hey Mark,
Thanks for the suggestion. Will try it out and let you know if it works. Meanwhile, any such suggestion regarding the T9 custom dictionary?
James.

I think the main t9 dictionary is this file mssp2_en.lex and the custom dictionary is custom.dic - both in the \windows directory.
Some info may be in user.hv (\windows) but not totally sure. You can copy these 3 files using total commander.

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?

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.
This is a beta for testing First release from my new Porting Kitchen
I'm buisy today Entertaining, so I will post more details tomoro The style is like my 20275 v2 and the contents much the same,
see here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=435810

There's some new work in there folder_icons, file explorer, larger submenu's, new commManager, large start menu, more detail later give it a try and let me know how you like it,
I will Finnish tweeking the extrom and add some more cab like : office, IE6, VOIP, Chome will be a bit later, for now you could download some CABs from my 20275 extrom's
I know there's no icon view for taskmgr in settings page! but it still works fine
Enjoy

Excellent work, thank you very much.swampy395
Downloaded, will flash and test today and will report later mate. Hugz. Thanks for another ROM for us and Welcome Back to BA Cooking lol
Edit: Flashing went smooth. All though I used tools from Xplode's WM6.5. Clearing storage took a little more(about 4min) than it usually takes(about 2min), maybe because I'm downgrading from 6.5. Customizations installed w/o troubles.
Flashed to this ROM, it's great... Waiting ExtROM tweak
Is calendar able to display multiple events? I had stopped using manilla 2D just because it used to mess up with multiple appointments in a day and cant not handle correctly events like birthdays and anniversaries taken from contacts.
Apart from the phone usage, calendar / appointments is my next prime important use of hand held device.
you said that the ExtROM was the same as the last one, does that mean that TouchFLO2D is still the same version and not the Iolite Version ?
Can I even use the Iolite Version of TouchFLO2D on the BA ?

Hi thanks it's nice to get good comments and it's also good to get bug reports too But 6.1 rom's are not much in demand right now 6.5 is in the lime light and it's cool too and if the only prob with this rom is deleted and sent folders missing then i'm happy will get back to this soon, i hope but i have a new build to finnish first
