As I was surfing the net. I came across this O2 image and was wondering whether it is possible to have the same by some utility or another..
that is the O2 Active UI.
Pretty unesufull if you are not a O2 subscriber.
Pretty sluggish if you do are an O2 subscriber.
Yeah, beleive me, you don't want it! As with most of the apps written by phone companies, it's badly written, a resource hog, and offers very little functionality. The first thing I do when I hard reset or rom upgrade is to uninstall it.
Eww Eww Eww Eww Eww
Trust me it's awful!! It's the first thing I get rid of whenever I've upgraded / hard-reset. It's very slow, very counter-intuitive, not to mention useless if you want to change your today wallpaper.
Cheers

I liked it - when I saw it.
I installed it - it was sloooooow, so what did I do?
Tried to remove it, it wasnt being removed, so I hard reset

Thanks for the link. I've downloaded the file. The q now is, since it was designed for O2 members in the UK. Will it work for my in the UAE? I mean are all the connection strings and other stuff restricted to that region?

Hello,
where can I get the O2 ROM ? English ?
I have an O2 Magician but in German and I wanted to have it in English.
I try several ROM like WWE but no one come with this nice O2 Front Menu
can someone help me.
I lookin the XDA FTP but do not know wich one to choose
thanks guys
The O2 application can be downloaded from the server -
I do not advise the use of it though because if you want to get rid of it you need to hard reset the unit
AdmiralAK
I try to get in there but can not, it won't accept my EMEI
can you help me
Any update on this matter ??
Look like a lot's of people is looking for the O2 English ROM
If there is an other way to get the O2 menu (the one on TODAY's screen) like a CAB or so, please let me know
thanks
I remembered what the program name is called:
it is called "O2 active" and it is a CAB you can download. It is somewhere on the ftp server. Also, it is somewhere on this forum in a number of posts (use the search), I know because I was looking for it before
whooooo hard to find it.
I look everywhere on XDA FTP
I'm going to post about this. But if someone found it or you found it please let me know
tanks
What is the O2 menu, does anybody has a screeny ?
O2 Active
Is this what you are looking for?
Download :arrow: O2 Active
Yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
It's exactly this. Thanks a lot my friend
OK and what can you do with that, it really doesn't look like that screenshot ...
Dont you need to have O2 to make full use of it?
I thought that O2 Active was preprogrammed to access O2 wap sites and content... (not to mention that it's a biatch to remove)

i think a hard reset will do
The only way to get rid of this "bug" is to do a hard reset
I hope you had everything backed up
I say Yesssssssssss to fast
I can't get it to work ???
Do I need the O2 ROM in order to have it work ??
I try to download the O2 mini ROM from the O2 web site Hong Kong they have 2 version English and Chinese but you need a valid EMEI in order to sign in to there web site and be able to download
Where else can I get the O2 ROM ??
Thanks guy
PS: If I get to install the O2 Active I don't mind to do I hard reset in case I wanted to remove it. But since I'm looking like a dog to get it, I don't think I will remove it so soon.

OK I found it. But :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: it's in German
It's for XDA Mini, I found this into XDA FTP //Magician/Extended_Roms/O2Mini_GER_1.12.144/AUI_install.ARM_Build37.CAB
But look :
its in german because you picked it from the GER directory :roll:
Hi
I played with a friend's Wizard the other day (XDA Mini S actually) and liked the O2 Active software on the today screen.
I know lots of people have been trying to remove it but I'd like it to replace WA2 and WAD with something that I can use single-handed instead. I liked how you can use the shortcut bar on the left with the navigation buttons.
Is there any way to get O2 Active onto my JAM (Magician)? I know Wizard is WM5 but surely it's just an app?
Let me know,
Cheers,
Joe
Hey Bro..Dnt try The active thingie its a pain in the behind to uninstall and takes a lota space
If ya still want it let me know..
Really? Hmm...
Just wanted to try it out before I hard-reset so feel like I have nothing to lose! Kinda feel like it may manage to replace a few other things I have running which take up space anyway.
If someone could post it that would be awesome.
Have fun bro ..dnt say i didnt warn u.
ciao
Ok, point taken, it's ****e!
My mate had tabs on the today screen part of Active though, things like System and Apps, seemed much more useful. Does anyone know if that stuff is available?
Try this its the O2plus for the Atom cracked for the Magician
the o2 active looks good, not to usefull tho, n when i installed it, i found a few bugs. because i am on PAYG in the UK, i wanted to select PAYG in the UK, problem was that it wouldnt let me. it installed all the internet settings for contract, because of that, the internet stopped working. i also found that it does not let you add extra today bars, and it has its own one, this one doesnt show half the time. when i make a call, it constantly vibrates, that got really anoying, lol. otherwise i thik it is a good app, lol.
??? ill change what i sead earlier, doesnt work on my MDA compact with SPB pocket plus, but does work with a hard reset. does any one know a reason for this? an how to fix it?
HELP !!!Anyone Know how to
load o2 active on to the o2 xda exec and where to get the software or settings to do it as i cant seem to find it anywhere .
So, you hard reset your device, you do the softreset to avoid all the branding rubbish and .... your phone won't work because you don't know the password to the internet connection settings and so on.
Question is: where can I find the t-mobile settings, web and walk included?
TIA!
There is a website I found recently called Google.com . It's some kind of search engine. If you enter "t-mobile uk gprs" and hit search it comes up with loads of links. not sure if the first one helps. Try it out.

Ah-ha. You must feel like a big man now.
Plus, you're wrong, they are not that easy to find. Looking at the first links on the search string you gave, they all list the username for the t-mob connection as being 'user', whereas mine is 't-mobile'.
here it is - but they dont work on some (ch) roms,works fine on my rom with web n walk
For USA T-Mobile users, here it is:
Just in case you want to add them in manually TMobile and all the UK service providers details can be found in this post over at the 4WinMobile.com website.
please help

How do I install from this cab file?
Not sure if it'll work on your device, but give this a go:
V
Vijay, maybe you want to rename the file to GPRSsettings ?
Hi guys, thanks very much for all the replies!
Signed_UNI_TMO_Connection_112100.CAB did the trick. I didn't seem to need the other file (MMS settings). The only other file I had to fish out of the extended rom is the long_dtmf one. If you don't put that on and try to dial a number, the phone hangs on keypresses :lol:
I'll let you know if I see any other required cab I might have missed. So far the phone is behaving slightly faster - not as big of a difference as I've seen on the O2 branded ones (which hurt from all the crap 02 leaves on them).
Cheers!
Would also like to add, without all the tmobile stuff from the extended rom, my battery life has doubled. Brilliant!

if U want to not install branding rubbish, after calibrating touch screen, ppc starts installig. U've got some 3seconds to softreset(small black hole below usb connector) press it and trick is done. Other way use ext_rom unlocker (www.buzzdev.net) remove or move (move is better, there are gprs,mms and other settings in .cab files, U'll figure it out which of them U need) all **** from ext_rom and hard reset
Dear All,
I believe everyone know what does the O2 phone plus can do. It allow you to Edit the number before dial.
I have try to install it on the Hermes, but it doesn't seem to do anything.
I have attached the phoneplus CAB file with this thread. Is there anyone who can hack this CAB and let all of the HTC users to use this feature?
Many Thanks!

That is the wrong version you need this one!
Check my thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296573
The file to download is there on my post at the bottom I love it because you can customise your today screen for ease of use, see the picture. Let me know what you think.

Thanks and your today screen looks great too. I am using SPB pocket plus to do the similiar layout.
But O2 plus and O2 phone plus is not really the same. O2 phone plus is simaliar to the Smartdialing that we have on HTC. The only thing which made it even better is that you can click on the number and edit it, like putting prefix.
I know software like MyPrefix could do similiar things but the O2 phone plus make things alot simply.
not to threat crap, but i like these Ò2 apps

Hi Boz,
Any update on this cab? Can you get it working with WM6 for Hermes?
As some of you may know, SEUS has finally put up the R2A firmware for the X1. Someone from another forums said that the new official firmware is newer and has more features than the one that we can find in the ROM development section for R2A UK. Does anyone know the actual differences and whether or not it's worth the time to update?
its in the rom development section!
Norti has even has a list of what files have changed..
However I've been having a look and there's a huge amount of new files in the SYS that weren't in the last build.. (it looks like the "OS" folder wasn't populated in the "08" build).
Ive not flashed yet.
I'm sorry, but after looking for a few hours, I still cannot find the actual post. Is it possible that you can link me?
Thanks in advance.
Edit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3357724&postcount=721
If you're referring to that post, I have no idea what it means really.
I have NO idea how much or how little has changed but I have to give the new software a resounding HELL YEAH!
I don't see any different functionality yet. BUT........ my Xperia is AS fast after 4 hours on the Sony download as it was after a week WITH the R2A_UK and Xperiatweak memory tweak. The panel selection is super fast and access to menus as well as their selection is INSTANT!
It ran great on the R2A_UK downloaded off the boards but my Xperia is running like I expected it to run out of the box. I have loaded gtrags icons/taskabar, youtube+panel, facebook,advanced config, Tom Tom7.9 and run the hell out of all the programs. I have intentionally left all programs running in the background instead of closing and installed no memory tweaks at all.
With EVERYTHING I can run at one time going (including blue tooth and wifi AND enterprise push) I have had no lock ups. It slows down on video playback of course but this is the first load where I haven't had to poke the little stylus in it's favorite hole for a soft reset as soon as I start flogging it so soon after a fresh rom.
Be warned that the reload took 30 min for my Xperia to load from sony. I don't know why it took so long but it did.
Bottom line, what ever changes were made were surely small, but it really helped my unit run well. I may be only do to cache not having to catch up as much as with the previous two revs I have had.
So it is worth the trouble of updating?
Edit: Or should I wait for DuttyThroy's ROM.. hm...
I tried the SE-US for me swedish X1 and it told me I already had the latest FW. Is this new edition only for english devices?
Someone has posted an alarming thread, they said they updated to Rom2, through SE Update service, and the new ROM has no mobile office.
Please tell me they are wrong and mistaken
Is this the same update that was on emma a couple weeks ago?
About this mobile office thing:
it should be under START Menu, right after Today! Another way to test if office if there, open a doc in the phone...duh!

So you would suggest flashing to R2A010 from R2A008 then?
I would say yes, as I have seen a nice improvement over 8.
It has been suggested that maybe my 8 load wasn't a clean load and the 10 loaded directly from Sony was. I don't know, but I have seen a very nice improvement in the overall speed of function and video.
One funny thing is that when I tried the xperiatweak memory tweak, my phone actually slowed down a bit. Huh? I wonder why this is.

The response here for the new firmware over SEUS seems good, will update mine after I get back my phone for the casing replacement.
I have tried the SEUS and it tells me no update is available, this is for a UK O2 phone. Should I be able to update this?
Thanks
Ant
The one on SEUS for UK just now is for generic/not network locked phones. I'd imagine the O2 version will be online later this week or next at the latest.

Yup, go into the Xperia Rom forum and you'll find it there. It's very simple to do - dl the .exe file, extract it to get the image file, rename the file (details are in the forum, I forget), stick it on your micro SD card, restart the phone whilst holding volume down and power. It should then kick in automagically!

Trouble after the update!
I don't know if anyone is experiencing this problem but after the update i can not connect to the internet. I can connect to windows messenger and AIM. If i connect using Wi-Fi i have no problem using the internet but when i'm out and about i want to be able to access my internet. Does anyone know how to fix this problem or know how to downgrade the firmware?
