Can someone please advise which shortcuts are included in the startup folder on the standard vanilla build of the Xda II (non-O2 branded) as I'm trying to work out which I can safely remove on my O2 Xda II.
Cheers in advance.
Hmm I'd like to know this too.
Also, how about that dreadful, dreadful, O2 Active program, eh?!!! I uninstalled it the minute I realised I could.
Just for those who are interested, the startup files on the O2UK build are:
AFlashMan
BPInsert
BTIcon
CFlashMan
CheckAutoRun
HandsFree
IA_Caller_ID
MMReg
NFlashMan
poutlook
SMSReceiver
stk
TFlashMan
USSD
Tell me about it, the O2 software in plain bloatware. That's why I want the list of standard shortcuts to know what I can move out in advance of removing the CAB files at the next hard reset.
I made silver phone skin for Universal.
The screenshot shows Japanese, but you will see English if you use English ROM.
Enjoy!!

Added Black one.
Again, the letters depends on your ROM or mui setting except for "Video".

I found some people wants carrier's.
You will see them on FTP/Upload/Universal/Phone Skins
You can the following phone skins:
Qtek 9000/i-Mate JasJar/Dopod 900: Qtek_Phone_Skin.cab
O2 Xda Exec: O2_Phone_Skin.cab
T-Mobile MDA Pro: T-Mobile_Phone_Skin.cab
Vodafone v1640: Vodafone_Phone_Skin.cab
Orange SPV M5000: Orange_Phone_Skin.cab
Again, the characters on buttons depand on your mui setting.
Enjoy!!

Uoloaded carrier's on this thread.
Very nice, but this has to be installed in the main memory to work, thus taking up our precious memory.
very nice , can you pm me how to make it :wink:
thanks
cktlcmd:
Yes, this cab file is too big just to change phone skin. It would be possible to use skin files in storage after changing registry.
I recommend cooking your own ROM with your own skin (or mine). (Of course, you cannot use carrier's in this case.
mwang:
There are many *.bmp files used for phone skin. I haven't perfectly found which bmp file is related to each button.
Only with this change, you cannot change "Video" button. The *.dll files (phcanlrc.dll & phcanprc.dll) have resources for "Video" button. You have to change it if you want to change "Video" button.
You will need to change resources of "phcanOverbmp.dll" if necessary.
As for registry, you will find many keys under [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Phone\Skin]

I have tryed to run one of the files on an Emulator and the Emulator HArd resetted itself. Have you got any idea ??? will that happen with the device also ? PLus does it really mean that you can get rid of the ugly t-mobile phone skin but keep the Video button ??
Churchill:
I've never run these skin files on emulator, but these worked fine on my Qtek-9000. I also can swich skins with these cab files. I have no idea why these skins shut off your emulator.
Regarding "Video" button, these are included in dll files in my cab file. You can modify or replace it to another one. It would be possible to use T-Mobile "Video" button only. (i.e. use Vodafone skin and replace dll to T-Mobile)
P.S. I don't think T-Mobile's is ugly but this is only a taste.
hard reset problem <Emulator
i guess OS on emulator didnt have 3G function.
so relative files of 3G function, such like follows confilict with its owns.
phcanprc.dll
phcanOverbmp.dll
phcanlrc.dll
phcanhtc.dll
phcanrc.dll
anyway, shugo's sikins are for the Phone with 3G,
should not use on Non-3G phone.
You might be right abou that Asukal
Thanx
Best phone skin so far??
I've seen this phone skin...I love it...
And I've used the search function on this site, but can only find it available for smaller screen HTC devices... ie; KJam :x It does not work on the Universal.
I'm no expert, but can someone explain to me how (in idiot's language please) I can recreate this skin for the Universal?
I can use Photoshop easy, so once I figure out how to extract the relevant gif files, I can alter the buttons quite easily....
If someone can explain it to me, I am willing to email / post the results back here...
Here's what the skin looks like...
try spb dialer skin
hi all..
for those who is really bored with the original dialer skin,..
y dont u check the spb software house site..
they give a few free skin (it's made for their spb software actually)..
but the they still give the free dialer skin..
me myself use one of their dialer skin, quite ok though..
dunno if it's works with ur machine, but mine (xda IIs), not a single problem...
eventhough the site said it's not working on wm2003se..

"Wisbar Advance 2", you have to download from Wisbar website.
But you need to download the Theme from the web (done by somebody) it is call Pocket OsX.
http://members.chello.nl/ddelug/skin.htm
Be warn that Wisbar will slowdown the PPC a little bit.
I think the new dial pad from CrossBow Theme looks better.
how on earth do you change the keypad skin on a universal without going to registry all the time i thought its meant to chnage with the theme.
regards
I actually did registry edit almost manually.
First I copy the keypad related registry out into *.REG files. Keep this as a backup and make another copy to do a text edit and modified it manually. Basically the filenames are the same, I put the new skin in the extended rom, so I need only to change the texts "\Windows\" to "\ExtendedRom\Windows\". Afterwhich I copy the new *.REG back into the registry. Soft reset and NEW ＤＩＡＬＰＡＤ ＳＫＩＮ.
Hi Guys,
I got my Universal [O2 XDA Exec] today, its a replacement for my old Ipaq H5550. So far i'm very impressed with the PPC side of it. But totally lost with the phone side
One of the things i've already discovered is its not locked to O2, and i've already tested it with my Orange PAYG sim. Which is the reason for this post.
Is there a way to use the O2 settings/servers to daytime [work] use, and the Orange settings/servers for night [playtime] ?
I don't need a one button solution, i don't mind getting a little messy.
if you can extract the cab files for operator settings fro the orange and o2 extended rom and save them as read only on your device you could just run the one you want to use and soft reset.
Hi Midget_1990,
Damn, that was quick.
I'll over to the FTP site and have a play.
Thanks.
OK, had a look in the Ext ROM folders, but theres no clues in their names, and I don't know enough about CAB's to pull them apart.
I did find a thread explaining what the CAB's in the O2 Ext ROM do, and a modified CAB with just the O2 settings, [Thanks Dingo].
Can anyone tell me if someone has made a simular CAB for the Orange settings, or which CAB's in the Orange Ext ROM the settings are in ?
Thanks Guys.
Hi guys,
I was trying different ROM's on my Universal today, to see what the different operators were offering. When I came across the Orange Today Plugin. I like the idea of it, but not the setup.
So, I was wondering if anyone here knew how to add, remove, or change the items in this plugin ?
I did a little search of the forum for an answer to this question, but it seems i'm looking to do the opposite to what everyone else is doing.
re
could u be more specific...
In this screen dump, you can see the plugin.
I'd like to be able to change the selections and the links in each selection.
For example, change the five links in the Web selection of the screen dump to five of my own URL's.
Or better still, add or replace one of the selections in the plugin with one that points to My Device. That when highlighted would have links to 'My Docs' 'SD Card' 'Program Files' etc.
I hope that makes sence.
I'm searching the same solution.

Hi filippodisvevia,
I fonud how to change the URL's, but not the sections.
Look in your Windows folder for a file called Full_one.xml, the URL's are at the top and the link names are near the bottom.
Good luck :wink:
thnx

Thank's so much.

Some other ideas ?

Hi cudo,
Here http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=61711&highlight=today+plugi+orange you can file the cab e some other file.
I'd like to personalize the cab if I understand how it work.
It works on qtek 9000\jasjar\xdaexec so I think is good for t-mobile too.
Hi Guys,
That plugin is from the SPV M3100 and works diferently to the Universal version. See my post at the bottom of that link above.
If you want the proper Universal Today Plugin with bigger icons for the Universals bigger screen. You'll have to install the Orange M5000 ROM, as its built into it. Plus the Orange ROM has just been updated with a new Radio driver.
I'm using the new Orange ROM, with the last O2 Ext ROM, and the Signed_ORUK_HomeScreenReg.sa.CAB from the Orange Ext ROM as it has the Reg settings for the plugin. And everything is working great. 8)

Can you attach the cab ?
:thx:
I downloaded the cab from ftp, and install it, but nothing seems to hapen
I have T-mobile base rom and Qtek extended rom installed...
Hi people,
This thread is more usefull if you are looking for a cab file.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=61711&highlight=
I installed the cab posted and works fine on my wizard. Although u do lose all your other today plugin functionality. But the plugin is handy. even though limited in use.
I was thinking of finding some great developers on this site who would like to creat such a program but which could be used alongside the other today plugins. Anyone interested let me know.
Cheers,
Shah
What do you mean "finding some great developers"?
@filippodisvevia,
Heres the CAB file, but it ONLY works with the Orange ROMs. As the files needed aren't in the other ROM's.
@gtm55,
You need the Orange ROM installed before the CAB file will work.

Great or good developers. Who are able to program such a plugin. because u have beginner programmers, novice programmers, and advanced programmers and if you like great programmers.
Just to keep it simple a person or persons who are able to create such a apps, which is usable in different WM phone devices. I just used great, because I know there are some pretty great (good) programmers on this site.
Cheers,
Shah
Thank you, ZaForD, I really like Orange plug-in, but I'll stay with T-mobile (1.30.115 WWE).
Thank's so much fora cab Zanford

Every help will be fine.

Hi all,
I've a p3600 tim branded and the problem is that if i do an hard reset and let customize the device via the files present in the extended rom, then pocke msn is disabled...if I do a hard reset and then a soft reset to stop customization when it starts, then the pocket msn is enabled.
is there a way to re-enable the pocket msn without this workaround cause i'd like to have the tim customization or at least the others customizations present in the extended rom?
Thank you in advance and excuse me for my bad english.
P.s.1
in the extended rom i have only 3 files .cab and a .txt, but when the customization starts it install more files .cab?!
P.s.2
I know that if i want i can crate a shortcut from \windows\instmsgr.exe to \windows\start menu and enable messenger, but what i need is to enable pocket msn and the today plugin
You can find under /windows the instmsgr.exe program that is ONLY the MSN messenger and not all the Pocket MSN suite.
Create a shortcut under \windows\start menu\ and it's all right!

Hi alexbard,
many thanks for your reply, but look at Ps2 point of my post, I already know what you suggest, my question is how to enable the entire suite of pocket msn with the today plugin....
any news from the board?
[email protected]
You may try Windows Live for WM5, though it is still a beta version, but it has both msn & messenger.
Hi,
Where can we find windows live messenger 2005?
Windows Live works not so well..... especially under wifi.
I found it looking at emu***le, browsing for live_messenger_wm.
No news until the new rom release, htc confirmed a few bugs in the TIM release.
This is the bad cab file!!
Hi there,
I'm playing with some registry entry trying to solve the problem...I'll post any news...
Here attached is the cab file that makes the TIM customizazions and disable Pocket MSN (be carefull to launch it on your non TIM branded device if you dont want to hard reset to re-enable pocket MSN), if someone can examine the cab to understand where this file makes the changes that disable PMSN is welcome, I'm not so smart :-(
The file is not present in the extended rom but in the \windows dir, probably is recalled by another file of the extended rom.
hope this help our needs..

I'll have a look at it.... stay tuned...
Had a look at that cab file, but there are not registry entries.
Maybe the MSN is disabled in another cab, or it's done from an executable.
I have a TIM branded P3600 and done a hard reset without letting the device install the extra software. Works fine and I don't miss any of the added features from TIM software customization...
sorry...

Hi vbi,
it's sure that PMSN is disabled by the cab I'have attached before...I made the following:
Hard reset
Reset before customizations starts...PMSN is enabled!! Then...
Under \windows tap on that cab and.... PMSN is disabled so, if there are not registry entry probably PMSN is disabled by an exe present on that cab like you say, also not all but some customizations like Alice mail and the settings for MMS and server exchange are miss..
Damn!
