ROMs available from the FTP site attached to this forum. You need to do a bit of digging and use the search function.
thank you very much! i will look for it
I wouldn't recommend to flash the entire ROM just to get a different skin. If the flashing goes wrong, T-mobile will not provide any help (guarantee wise). It's not worth the risk.
I'm not the big expert here, but there must be a way to change it without flashing a new rom...
Most parts of the skins (nearly all?) are bitmaps in the windows directory. Store new ones and your Magician gets a new look. A problem could be that in the windows directory RAM and ROM are merged. A ROM file can not be erased but you can store a file under the same name in RAM. The original file in ROM will not be visible and used anymore as long as the file in RAM exists.
In my Magician the brandings are installed in RAM (from the extendedROM), so I can replace them. If I just delete them I get the original skins from MS stored in ROM.
If you have the IntelliDialer you have to notice that it is installed in RAM (from the extendedROM) so only deleting its files does not work (there are no others).
I do not know how O2 integrates its skins but I think they will use the same way as t-mobile so taking O2s (bitmap) files and copy them to your device should work. (Make a backup before to be save)
Hope that hepls a little bit

If you haven't already fixed your problem, here is the O2 splashcreen CAB.
Just copy it to your my documents and run it from there.
That removes the T-Mobile startup screen.
Then you can just do a search on these forums for some skins for the intellidialler and intellipad. I have a nice Apple based one that I found in a post on these forums.

Anyone have a cab for the O2 xda exec phone skin? I had that rom on my xda and upgraded to the new TMO Dutch rom and the phone skin really sucks bad, I loved the O2 one - Can anyone help me out???
I bet alot of people would switch to this one from the tmo one. Again thanks and this site is great. FISH
Does anyone have the bmp files for the O2 phone dialer??? I know how to upgrade it but I do not know how to extract them from an old ROM.
So does anyone know how to extract files like the ".bmp" icons or images from a ROM that is not installed on teh phone?
Here you go.

Universal's extended rom. You want the file signed_UNI_o2AUI4_build76.CAB for the skin.

You guys ROCK!!! Thanks for the quick response to you V and to Buzz for the PM help. FISH
I would like that skin too..but after running the first CAB file my dialer screen is somewhat..corrupted.. Was wondering if there's a way to restore it or any instructions on how to use these files?
namura: did you run the wizard version, or the universal one?
V
I ran the first one..judging from the outcome..I guess it's the Wizard's one..
I ran this CAB file:
PhoneLight_Skin_O2_WWE_1005.CAB
Hi Namura, my apologies, I clearly confused by posting both the wizard and the universal (although I labelled them in the description section).
Anyway, you want the Universal skin from here:

hi vijay555, no worries about it.. I managed to recover from it though..hehe now using the Orange skin..
If someone has ETEN X500 or M700 device I ask him/her to extract and post PREI_ETMERGEEX_ENG.CAB (it's in Extended ROM) and post here.
This cab installs the Phone Service for ETEN PDAs that is quite an useful program with zoom-sms, Scenarios and call-blacklist. I use an extracted version in my Artemis, downloaded from our forum, but it is from the previous line of ETEN PDAs (M600, I think) and not perfectly stable.
Thanks, in advance!
cheers,
ctibor
I know i guy with X700 & maybe he'll agree on that. How this could be done?
With Total Commander or Resco Explorer you should write to the command line: "\Extended_ROM" (without quotation marks) and it becomes visible. Than you can copy any files of the hidden folder to another 'normal' one.
At least I hope it works in case of ETEN devices too, because for HTC devices this is the easiest procedure. But I do know that the preistalled apps of ETEN PDAs can be extracted, because they are on the net freely downloadable (eten-users forum), but, unfortunatelly only the German version is avaible there. :-(
cheers
this any help?

Unfortunately, no. That thread is about the old, extracted version of the prog (which I also currently use). My aim would be to replace this with the original and more advanced version of the app, preinstalled to all new ETEN PDA.
But anyway -- thanks

I had found that link before but my guess is the GER in the title means its in german - probably need the equivalent with ENG in the title.

Thanks man, I have long discovered that site. If you want e.g. Quicklink (Today plugin for start apps directly from Today) you can download from there and run it in any WM5 device without problem.
But the specific cab I need is only available in GERMAN there! I gave it a try: installed the German version and it worked like charm, but I cannot speak German, and - to tell the truth - don't want to use a non-English (or non-Hungarian) program in my PDA. But I do encourage all our German-speaking mates to try it out!
So, that's my problem!

Hi everybody
I newly un-hid and found my Ext_Rom in my Dopod 818.I was wondering how I can delete ClearVue's (Default PDF reader) cab file from its list.I tried and analyzed all of the files within the extended Rom but I don't know which one is installing this damn ClearVue while costumizing my Dopod.
Is there any brilliant hero around to help me on that?I would be really appreciated.
My Rom Version is :2.15.13.27
Thanks
I want to know that too.
I want to know how do I get into a ROM? How does the ROM makers that?
Hey folks
Nobody knows what is the name of damn cb file in Extended Rom that installs Clearvue???
It is unbelievable to not be able to find even one with enough knowledge about that?!?!?!?
I alredy know how to access to Ext_Rom...
I aonly need to know which cab file is installing the CLEARVUE program in my mobile...
Come on guys...I know there are many people who know the answer...and I'm sure there should be one way to get rid of damn CLEARVUE...
Find attached the Extended ROM of 3 UK.
Dont think that it's incomplete due to the small size, u ll find out that it contains several cabs.
I m sure many will find it usefull.
BTW i m still waiting someone's reply on how to dump a rom. I already tried few things with the tools mentioned in wiki but i m not quite sure if i m doing this right. I will really apreciate a feedback on this. Pls feel free to PM me...
Regards
Z£Y$
Many thanks mate. This is really appreciated. wish I could help with the rom dump but I am still learning myself. good luck with it.

Umm this is a slightly modded version that does NOT remove the wireless section from the today screen as the original does, and adds a few freeware apps that I use every day. The apps being:
Tcpmp
Total Commander
PS Shut XP
HTC Xbutton
PHM Regedit
and RAR Archive manager.
This is still in the same format as the above (the files only) and not in .nbf format as I simply don't know how to dump it / compile it. So it's for unlocked extended roms only.
For a guide to cooking your unlocked extended rom have a lookee here
I am using this rom on top of an original O2 Exec rom not the QTec rom used by 3UK and it installs fine. So it should work with any universal variant.
Happy 3'ing!
Psi
Have now made the ms_.nbf file for of the original files from Z£Y$ for flashing via RUU.
http://rapidshare.com/files/66799675/3uk_ext_rom.zip.html
And here is the ms_.nbf extended rom file for my own version that includes the apps above.
http://rapidshare.com/files/66989609/3uk_ext_rom_psidoc.zip.html
And here is the rom with all the streaming media bits n bobs already in with the browser string modded to suit 3 as well.

Thanks for these Guys.
I wish I could help with dumping the ROM too. I've been looking for the 3 ROM for months.
The 3 rom is a standard Qtek rom with the 3 bits n bobs added in the extended rom.
Basically you can use any WM5 (or 6 if you don't want videocall) of your choice and all the 3 stuff is in the extended roms above.
@Z£Y$ what version of Qtek rom is your 9000 using.

Re:
PSIDOC thanks for confirming this m8.
F***k the ROM dump then lol
BTW i m on:
ROM version:1.30.77 WWE
Radio version: 1.09
ExtROM version: 1.30.246 WWE
Is this the latest Qtek ROM version?
Regards
Z£Y$
Ah, I didn't realise this.
I had gone back to the basic Qtek rom quite some time ago to sort out issues with the web connection dropping out all the time.
I still have issues with being unable to get to My3 with the E61 block. I think this is something to do with certificates. I have no idea how to solve this.
I've asked 3 if they can provide it. Don't hold your breath though.
I contacted them today, they said they would get back to me.

Welcome mate. Re having the latest, I think you are, however have a lookee here (requires you to register.)
http://www.myqtek.com/europe/myqtek.aspx
@ Lakota,
The reason for the E61 block page is because you are using a web browser, not a WAP browser to view the pages on 3. I found this out eventually on my old nokia E61. Sadly the Uni doesn't have a Wap browser. Please refer to This post here for Z£Y$ method of getting around that. Personally I use Opera for a browser so i don't get the problem. You could alway just click the services icon and viola you get past the E61 block.

A Response To Your Find
An Interesting Find

@ PsiDOC
Do you get all the services using opera? such as "today on 3" and access to all "services" such as mobile TV??? I was not able to do so with opera untill few minutes ago hence i decided to release a guide.
@Lakota
I had very lenghty discussions with 3UK and the outcome of the numerous callbacks is that Qtek 9000 is not compatible by 3UK to use planet3. So do not expect a solution by them. However there is a workarond as i m describing here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=341755
Thanks very much for the extended rom and for your guides, Z£Y$. It might finally be time to ditch my Orange sim and get a 3 contract sim I think!
Quick question though, as I don't know too much about the services 3 provides - are ALL the various services that are available on 3 working on the Universal with your guides/workarounds or are there still things that don't work 100%?

With regard to services I only really browse the 3 uk site to check what I owe and get the news etc so yes today on 3 does work. I haven't used the Mobile TV so cant comment on that. Opera is fine for doing that. I usually go in on mobile.three.co.uk and it automatically redirects me without the E61 block page.
With regards your fix for the streaming media most of the files for getting it to work should already be in WM5. If you like I can add the rest into the Extended Rom and have that do the registry change as well, so when you first setup and the customisation is performed it's all done for you. No fuss no hassle then.
If you want it, give me a day or 2 as it's a bit manic here today.
Psi
@PsiDOC
Yes m8 if we can add the procedure i.e registry fixes and files to the Ext ROM will be excellent. I m gonna give this a go myself as well if i have some time... BTW HTC streaming media is not included in my wm5.
@XTCrefugee
All of the services from 3 are working now!!!
Many thanks guys.
Some very useful information posted here. Much Appreciated.
Cheers.
Ok peeps, I would have had the streaming tv ext rom sorted by now, however I am having problrms putting the coredll.dll file into a .cab file for the extended rom. It's sending my PC into a 100% CPU loop. Everything else packs up ok, it's just this little monster that's giving me a headache.
Bear with me on this I will sort it.
Psi
m8 one thing to consider is that these dll files for the streaming media need only to be ADDED if missing. In my case i added only few of them and ignored the rest without to overwrite the existing ones. So if you ll make a cab file it will install all of them rather than installing only the missing ones .....correct me if i m wrong.
Ideally during instalation u should be promted about the existing dll files.
Regards
Z£Y$
I appreciate that mate. However what we have to consider is the varying configurations for user installations. I can set a .cab file for "if exists = skip install" on files which will bypass on install if the file is alrady present.
It's just that I cannot get this bloody file into a .cab file....
It's annoying me now. Been trying all night. GRRRRRR!

Streaming Extended rom is now done and uploaded to rapidshare.

Requesting all those great Rom cookers out here to create a Rom with Manila2d in it. No, not on ExtROM but inside the ROM itself. That would be faster better and faster I think.

Integrated Manila 2D into cooked ROM is surely a better solution, however most people prefer a clean ROM. Beside due to limitation of the flash size (32MB i think), it would requires to remove lots of even basic application come with the ROM.
not possible due to limited 32 mb storage. even the mms is not included in any ba wm6 rom so can u think for Manila.

M2D cooked in
I'v tryed to fit "M2D" in a cooked ROM you can get the main files in there' But not enough of the image files, I also did some test builds "without" the calc, media player,dialer,and commManager skins, And Flashed them from "ExtROM" as Themes It Seamed to Work fine But you would still Be adding A large number of files Via ExtROM so not much to be gained (can't say It was any different speed wise)
My origonal Idear was Adding skins to your device like this may, make rom's more fun and the user could change Skins From *.cab files (Themes)
So If you fancy a try and some people are intrested in making some Skins then I'll cook My New V3 and working version of M2D into a "ROM" With all Skins Removed and Post it with One Full Set of Skins in CAB files and folders of files for you to edit and i'll even pack some of your Themes into CABs and we'll see what Comes of it
I would like at least 5 people to be intrested in assisting with skins as I don't Have enough time to do it all
So If you would like to have a GO then you need to say SO or i'll not bother that's my offer regards
swampy395
I think it is a great idea, manila2 in a cab with no skin, and the default skin in a separate .cab so we can replace and tinker with it at leisure
I am in to give a hand!
Ok people think about it just for a minute, Manila 2D has a size of 12 mb, with a rom of 32 mb even if it is compressed we have to cut a lot of things from main rom to make this possible, and the the stupid questions will come, why this or that not work. Thats why i am working on a proper kitchen so the people can choose whatever packages they want in rom and make it themself. So if the rom does not boot or has audio video formats problems or software compatiblity problems this will be the builder configuration fault not mine or any other rom cooker.
Also you can use my last kitchen but you need to add options.xml in OEM and SYS folder to choose the packages

Well this is good as idea(i mean the complete customization from cabs and saving space from the skins in the rom area) but you have to make manila not to load on startup because without skin it will just crash and you will have to reset, and there will be infinite loop ...

I would love to give this a try, but I don't know enough about the interdependencies of the root packages to build a reliable options.XML file. Could you post a list of the diff packages that are part of the ROM with a notation of which are required, which are nice to have and which can be left out? If you do, then I will try to build an Options.xml file and post it for testing with your kitchen.
I have modded manila2d so the default skin is no more and instead one more of my liking. The resulting cab is 100KB smaller...
It boots fine
Will be posting today

As my previous post I did some tests and I could get enought of the M2D files in the ROM for IT to boot! and from "rom boot" to "ExtROM Finnish" it doe's not try to load M2D, first load of M2D is after the reset that Terminates ExtROM loading BUT I had to remove 'Calculator,Dialer,WM_Player skins,ring tones and some shortcut, The rom I tested for about 4 days and was as stable as any rom!, And here's a BIG "BUT" Keeping track of all the bits that are needed is a some TASK! in short it will work but it's hard work

I can live without all of the things that you removed as I use alternates for all of them which are loaded into storage anyway and just waste the ROM space.
BUT, as you say, I don't have enough knowledge to know which parts can and can't be dumped from the core ROM. That's why I asked Xplode to make a list. If you can make some kind of list, I'm willing to try and build a suitable options file to be used with his kitchen.
Another thing. I may be slow, but I can't figure out what parts of M2D are in the ROM and what parts are being installed via CAB. I opened the M2D cab and I see that the executables are still in there. If they are in the CAB, what are you loading in the ROM?

Hello again
I didn't publish that ROM, It was a test 'only' My M2D roms have most of the today plugins removed from rom as you don't need them, you can only have M2D plugin running!! If you remove WMP you loose so many formats 3gp etc. There are many things you can install from cab But cannot leave out thay have to go back in, The end finnished rom plus cabs is just the same size so y bother
P.S. If your useing a swampy rom then you can flash new skins from a cab
Swampy, if you cook my modded M2D you will have some 100Kb more to play with in the first place...
Now, if you zip up your ´Removed´ folder after cooking a barebones rom with M2D in rom we can help you build .cabs that would go in ExtROM an hence we would have a much more modular design
Taskmanager is a good candidate to go on a .cab, some people like one some like another. It pains me to see two installed
Swampy, but there is an alternative to Windows media player,
Mplayer, a 4megs cab. Supports many formats, it is lean and a standard in Linux (available for Windows Mobile)
Download MPlayer for Windows Mobile
You could remove everything to do with windows media player and put them on a .cab, then give users a choice; windows media.cab or mplayer.cab

Sorry, but I'm still not following you. In the first post of your 20275 thread and in your sig, you have a M2D version. If this isn't the M2d in ROM version, then what is it? If all that you did was leave out the today plugins, what did you use the extra ROM space for? Also, I never use WMP as almost any other player is far better IMHO (Coreplayer, S2P, Tcpmp,Mortplayer, Etc.) If I don't use it, will I still need its support for diff file types?
Swampy´s M2D roms don´t contain M2D in the rom itself but will install it in rom from the storage card whenever you do a hard reset.
So it is basically loading the extra stuff from a custom ExtROM folder in the storage card
Of course I agree it would be better to have M2D in rom proper and say windows media player in a .cab in the ExtROM folder so it can be easily removed if you don´t want it (I certainly don´t want it)

I agree with gloomyboy. Since there are SO MANY differnt app/utilities that more or less do the same thing, it stands to reason that everybody will have their own preferences. If someone could build a kitchen that really allows you to pick and choose what goes into the ROM, everybody could custom tailor their ROM for what they really use. Unfortunately, AFAIK, all of the kitchens available today only allow periferal change and not major systems changes. I don't know why, maybe it is just my lack of understanding of the core requirements of a ROM and it can't be done any other way. But I can allways wish....

OK, now I get it. I do that myself with my own home grown EXTROM based more or less on Xplode's new release of M2D with all sorts of shortcuts and config files being copied from my SD card into memory. I am constantly changing my cfg.txt file to include newer versions and getting rid of apps and utilities that I find that I don't use. I think that the ROM should contain all the permanent stuff that will fit and I can't function without.
