Selective Install on XDA Exec

Hi peeps.
After reading through various posts on this board, I thought I would hard resst my exec and install the cabs manually as suggested to get the features I want without the bloatware.
So far so good, installed everything I wanted and the connections only cab that is availble but, my MMS doesn't seem to work.
There is no MMS account in poutlook and there's noway that I can see of composing new MMS messages.
How does everyone else go on with this because when I've looked through some of the posts, everyone says thier SMS is working OK.
It's probably something stupid... :roll:
Cheers,
Smiff.

See? That's what happens when you don't proof-read your posts - there's loads of spelling mistooks and typos; and then no-one responds.
But seriously, someone else must have seen this as I'm not the only one to do a minimal install. Any ideas?
Cheers,
Smiff.

Answers in this thread for the cab file to install.

I've read that one multiple times but still have no working MMS in this situation...

I THINK
I beleive you have to create new account. It appears to be setting up email just continue through and at some point you can select type and set to mms. Then highlight account click on settings and put in your providers mms setting and bingo...
must say I havent had this problem on the exec but did on xdaiis and that solved it..
hope that helps
stay happy

Hi
Thanks for the tip but unfortunately, it didn't work that way
However, I have managed to get it working now - i did a hard reset again and a clean install and then installed 5 cabs - voicemail one, bt patch, both "shortcut" ones and the uaprof one.
The only thing I did differently this time from all the others is that I switched it off with the power button and on again before soft resetting it - i'm pretty sure that this did the trick
Cheers,

I lost the ability to do MMS?

So yeah, I gussied-up my M500 with a bigstorage rom from the ftp and it's pretty hot.
Thing is, even after installing pretty much all but the most offensive-looking cabs from the orange ext-rom, I have no MMS functionality.
I've got the access point settings just fine, but in messaging there is no MMS account, nor any way to add one.
Is it a .cab that I'm missing? There /are/ a couple that refuse to install, says they're missing a file somewhere in the Windows directory?

Man, it seems forum search is an ancient art unknown to the people of today.

I did not install Caller ID, but only installed an older version 2.0.0.x from an older extrom.
For version 2.0.x: Remember that Pocket Outlook has to run always in order to receive MMS. So if you use some kind of taskmanager, prevent poutlook.exe from being closed (this can be configured in SPB Plus)

OK, so let's try this out!
Also: I totally searched! I guess my search-fu is weak ;_;
[edit] All seems to be working, ish. Though a message someone claims to have sent me last night is in limbo or something? I guess if the phone doesn't know what's what then a MMS sent to it is lost forever?

Removing the Orange Skinning.....Is it Possible

Hi All,
Is it possible to remove the Orange Skinning.
I've already desabled their skinning on the Phone and disabled the Video Calling as I never use it, this gives me some much needed performance, but I never use the Orange Today plugin, I have it turned off, but it must use up some of my valuable memory.

Can't remmeber, but I presume yours is a WM5.
The organ stuff can't be easily removed, however you can avoid having them installed.
To do so, you must hard reset your unit, and just after the security setup section, perform a softreset when you see something like 'installing application in 3..2..1 seconds`, that will not install any orange stuff into your phone.

I will try this after I have done a backup.
As a question:
1, What else might not be installed should this work.
2. What is going to happen when I do my restore from my Complete backup

re
hi, i had the same issue and all you have to do is delete all the orange stuff in the extended ROM of the Universal. Make sure you keep a backup in case you need it after.

Make sure you don't reinstall the Orange stuff when you restore your backup!

re
Has anyone removed the actual orange branding on the phone? not the orange branded Software the actual Orange logo on the front of the phone and inside near the screen. I am wondering in the sugar cube trick will work?? Any thoughts?? Has anyone succesfully done this on the HTC UNIVERSAL

Ok, so I have now removed all the Orange stuff..........phone seems to be working much quicker and I have a lot more memory.
I've re-installed everything I wanted on it.
Phoned Orange who talked me through setting up GPRS and MMS.
I think I've done it right......email seems to work anyway.
But how to I configure the Pocket IE to use Orangeworld as its default home, and what is the address of the home page.

Ok getting there now.
Got my Orange World configure in the registry.
Last question (I hope)
My email works over GPRS.
Orange World works
Text Messaging works.
But there is'nt a mailbox in Pocket Outlook for MMS
How do I create it, as it looks like until it exists I cant send MMS messages

No MMS

I just flashed my 8125 G4 phone from the Cingular rom to the Wizard Love rom, only to find out that I no longer have any option to send or receive MMS messages anymore...And when I go through the normal way I usually would to put in Cingular's MMS settings, the only thing I can do is add a new account to the phone.
Can anyone help me out? Thanks in advance for any and all help

I've never used the Wizard Love rom so not sure what all is on it, but you will find most custom roms do not have GPRS and MMS settings on them. Run this cab on your phone and it should set you up. I keep this cab on my SD card in a folder called Setup. That way I can easily get this back after flashing a new rom or doing a hard reset.

[HTC HD2] Switzerland, Swisscom settings after flashing device with custom rom

Hello all,
I intend to flash that garbage mobile in order to have less bugs and problems.
I have this Swisscom provider (switzerland), and I carefully checked information on the forum. I learned that probably the settings like mms, etc... will be restored from the SIM card (although i don't like "probably" I like sure things...).
Is that correct?
Also what rom is "best" for Switzerland, with that radio thingy and everything?
I'm tempted to put the latest radio 2.11, I have 2.06 or something similar.
What Rom's best with that context (as I saw some are better for TMOBILE USA, etc...).
Ok thanks.

i got sunrise as provider and for me mms doesnt work after flashing a new rom, but that doesnt matter for me cause i just dont need it, im writing mails instead of mms.. but i think it would work if i would try to fix it xD
everything else is working perfectly^.^
btw, ur nick suxx too ^^

Thanks
Is there a way to backup mms settings then? (except writing them down )
I never write mms, but it's probably better to have all settings the same
(it's my work phone so I dont want risks)

i dont care about mms so i didnt searched for a solution to backup that configs.. so no, dont know sry >.<
maybe u shouldnt flash custom roms on ur work phone >.<! (well, i would do it too lol)

Hi,
same here...however I mean like in general!
MMS, internet settings, voicemail settings, blabla
all those things!!
Will they be deleted?
Well it's my work phone but I have total rights, and we also have the Swisscom support, eventhough they are useless...

Ok I updated everything (radio 2.12 and ROM Artemis 22)
As I expected all settings (internet, sms) where losts-
I have tried the "automatic settings update online" from Swisscom (phone provider), did not work for HTC HD2.
But on data mode, they were a setting to locate your provider, I did, and it automatically reconfigured everything.
It took me 10 minutes as I tried a few things, but it's now good.
I would be tempted to say it's the 1st time something went correctly with my HTC HD2, shame that it's when i removed the "official rom"...
