I hope I'm not committing a major faux pas here, but I see that there has been a lot of hacking going on with the XDAs, and as one of many HP iPAQ h6315 users over at PDAPhoneHome.com, we're in the process of getting all hacky with our devices. I am hoping a lot of your hard work on this site can give us a jumping-off point.
1) I found an .nbf editor, ER2003Edit. Provided the correct passwords can be discovered for our .nbfs, would this software allow us to customize our ROM images?
2) If so, is there an app somewhere to brute-force crack .nbf passwords?
3) If this is all possible, what else would one need to keep in mind?
As I said, I hope I don't annoy anybody in here, and while I'm sure the answers to these questions are somewhere to be found, this site is vast and I wouldn't even know where to begin. Thanks in advance for any and all help.
hi everyone , i am looking for an application to turn on flash light at the of wizard so i can use it for example to see key hole of the my main door in the dark
any one has any info? i belive vijay555 can create one?
nolovelust: man, you have to check if anyone has asked this question before, and you really shouldn't say stuff like that about me!
I believe I can make one as well, but there's a lot of incredible guys on here, and I'm an insignificant beginner, so it's disrespectful to the others :wink:
I have done some work on the flash. I'll be posting some info shortly, most likely failure, but with a way to achieve success. I'll clarify soon.

sory about that i didn't mean to be rude to anyone and search option of phpBB is a bit unusefull when you search more than one words you need to know almost exact topic name ( or am i doing something wrong? )
Yeah, it's useless with boolean searches. I've found it more helpful if you tell it to show posts, not topics.
Basically, AFAIK, it's not been achieved yet. But I know it can be, and I've done some work on it. But being nearly there isn't the same as being there, so no, I haven't done it yet. But...

Guys, as of 3am yesterday I managed to control the flash, so I've made the torch app for the Universal.

I'll report back shortly, but there is flash light on the back of the wizard, right? I will start checking if I can write this for the wizard as well.
<cheeky mode>
If anyone has a spare Wizard available (IMEI blocked is fine, I need the hardware only), a donation would aid development immensly :wink:

Yep, there is a flashlight on the back of the Wizard.

vijay555 - you could just have a Wizard owner try the code you're using on the Exec? Chances are it's the same driver/etc. (IA Camera)
ZeBoxx: I'm sure it's likely to be the same code, but curiously the hard reset code wasn't the same between these devices. There's different mechanisms required to hard reset a Universal and a Wizard. I'm going to try to rip a rom from the FTP and have a look. There are several apps I need to investigate for several slightly overlapping hacks I'm working on.
Also, the different processors require a different treatment with some of these hacks... but if I get to that position, I'll shout out for a wizard beta tester. I'll have to try to get hold of one briefly to try out an app or two... off to the O2 shop to "demo" one

Guys, on my website I've posted VJCandelaLite 0.2 beta. This is hopefully Wizard compatible, but I can't test it since I don't have one. Someone brave, please give it a go and report back
Thanks!

No go on wizard - details in:

hi ya, i have an o2 xda mini however it has a t-mobile simcard inserted. what im looking for is a program that will allow me to send files via bluetooth, as i cant seem to do so any other way. im also looking for a decent infrared controller software, one that has been seen working with this model as i have already tried many diffrent types to no avail. so.... for all you geeks out there who know the xda bible backwards and could read it back in klingon, any advice??
on another not i am looking to learn more about this model, what i want to know is if there are any hidden menus, tips to enhance features and does any1 know of any good mods for it? any advice would be greatful thanks.

Resco explorer will certainly let you do this as will Total Commander. Novii remote is a pretty good IR controller software.
As far as tips etc there are about 10000 of them. Check out the WIKI and search for the threads there are dozens of them.
cheers will do.
also, does anyone know if its possible to change the bluetooth software to enable me to send files over bluetooth?
the native (comes with it) software will enable you to send file over bt. just use the 'beam file', it will let you select bluetooth to send file.
ahh cheers i also misread the first post, the guy sugested some there too... ok so i solved the problem with b/t with u guys help, cheers. now to find a remote software that actually works with this model, any1 out there who has sucessfully used any software and what sort of distance did you get from it?
Just got a HTC HD2 a week ago, been playing with ROMs since I got it and having a blast doing it. I was noticing that things are extremely unorgainized when trying to find the ROMs, where to download them (also having to download them off the free mirrors), what exactly changed, etc...
Was thinking of building a website, where all the cookers can upload their ROMs, provide a change log for each individual ROM, be able to display the different versions of their ROM. Provide details about their ROM (look, functionality, etc...). Then in each cookers section, people can post comments / questions for that individual ROM. I tried providing more details below of how the structure would work.
For the break down of content management I was thinking:
PHONE MODEL > COOKER / ROM > LANGUAGE > ROM VERSION > ROM DOWNLOAD
Phone Model - For now I would just be doing the HTC HD2, but if this caught on, would be up for doing more phones.
Cooker / Rom - This would be area for the cooker to show off his / her ROM, with pictures, description, anything else they want to say. This would also be the area where people can post questions / comments, that would be easily responded to by the cooker or another user.
Language - Notice that lots of cookers like to create their ROMs in different languages, this way, it is very easy to find the ROM in your language.
Rom Version - Display all the versions of that ROM in that Language
Rom Download - Change log for that specific Rom Version would be displayed and allow you to download the ROM (I would be hosting the website, so everyone would just be directly downloading off the website, no mirrors, etc...).
Like I said, it is just a idea. Let me know what you think!
i don't mean to be instantly negative, but it gets talked about every few months, and a few people even make a start(have a look through the regular hd2 section, theres at least one rom index project, possibly two,complete with little-used websites.)
problem is you need to get all the chefs on board, and most of them just don't care for the extra time and work involved.
best of luck, none the less.
I would be doing all the work. the chefs would really be uploading the roms and change log that's about it.
as i said, best of luck, it would indeed be usefull, im just passing on my experience of these type of projects.
(another point to consider is that quite a few of these roms have been downloaded hundreds of thousands of times, , at around 200meg each, can your server manage that? at a speed that people will be OK with? day in day out? you can bet that right this second as i type, there are probably a dozen downloads happening, thats a gig and a half, concurrently.... thats a lot of bandwidth)
yeah totally get what you mean. reason why I posted this to see if the cookers would even want to do this before I did all this work.
the bandwidth would be no problem, think I should just post this under windows development?
I totally agree and am willing to help!
Thanks, you have any knowledge in HTML / CSS / PHP / MySQL? Not going to start on the project, unless I can at least get a handful of cookers who are at least willing to just upload the ROMs to the server. I would be even willing to go as far as to get all the initial content up for the ROM, then hopefully the cookers would just upload new ROMs and submit a change log for that ROM version. The backend I would be creating for this website, will be very easy to use, and really would not take them much time.
But the biggest thing is getting them on board, see if any post in this thread.
great idea
I also think that having a website to organize these roms out there is a great idea. It can be very handy for new users who want to try out different alternatives with hd2. I think everyone including the experienced users would like to just go to one place for downloads and check out new updates. if you had the website done, everyone from this forum will check it out since we don't see much over here (we do have some threads about rom, but its just links to other thread, not organized enough). I will be very happy if someone like you can build a website for these roms.
Yeah, was also thinking of allowing users to subscribe to ROMs they like, so when a cooker releases a new version of their ROM, they would get a email, letting them know a new version is out!
Just to try to get the ball rolling on this, going to just ask the cookers just to upload their ROMs to my server and that is all. I will pull all the other information myself, at least for now, see how well it catches on.
There's already pretty good sites for that.. www.xda-roms.com and xdaroms.com !
xdaroms.com does not seem to bad, but they don't even have up to date roms, very cluttered website, etc... was going for most up to date rom / extremely clean / easy to use website.

I think this is a great idea... kudos n all the support to you... i have been driving myself crazy trying to sift through the threads n get a sense of what's what... we should totally factor in the time line of releases to make informed decisionmaking easier..
also, speaking of, anybody knows which thread has the best(stable+complete) version of android for the tmous hd2? not that i havent searched but the results of search are quite overwhelming to an extent they act as a deterrent for me to try some rom that might brick my phone.
Now that I have the support of some of the cookers, going to go ahead start on the project, will keep everyone updated!
Sounds great ... I wish I could help but I really do not know anything about websites/html and such stuff
But just wanted to let you know that this is a good idea and such a website is definitely much needed with so many ROMs out there ...
I like the idea, and hope it works well for you! You are probably already aware, but just thought I'd point out that there are chefs out there who don't post on xda. Ark_N is one that comes to mind over at htcpedia dot com. I'm sure people know of others??
http://htcpedia.com/
its already done my friend
Really looking forward to how this turns out...thank you for taking the time to do this.
If you like to see something change on XdaRoms.com let me know. I am also looking for help in getting the word out. HtcPedia doesn't allow you to really search through roms. A lot of chefs there repost over an old post so if you enjoyed an older rom better than the new one you can no longer find it. With XdaRoms.com I wanted the ability to have all versions of a rom available to search through. I also have the ability for Chefs to add a template to their account which you can generate a complete forum post based on a rom by just clicking a button. From there you can copy and paste the forum post and you don't have to write out the same stuff each time. The issue you will run into is mass adoption as others have pointed out. If you really want to help out and make things easier you should use what I have already created and pitch in to make it better.
Sorry to drag up an old thread
I started XDA-Roms.com a while back, because I wanted to learn PHP and also to give people an alternate to RapidShare etc. While I was fairly sucessful in learning PHP, I really do not like the code at all, and need to start again fresh, probably in ASP
I have seen a few of my ideas end up on other ROM sites, which is cool becauase we are all here for the same reason, XDA ROMs.
Unfortunatly, since I started XDA-Roms.com, my work pattern changed and I have not be able to spare the time to keep the site up to date (code or ROMs). Hopefully, I will re-write the site soon-ish and allow chefs to upload their own ROMs (the user interface is there, just not the backend upload code).
In an ideal world, I guess all the ROM sites would end up with the same ROMs, just presented to the viewers in different ways. Personally, im not looking for graphics on my site, just all the ROMs
With all this being said, if there are some ROMs people want uploading, PM me and I will upload them.
