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.
Hi Guys,
new to the forum and i have a couple of questions
1) Does anyone know how to configure rules - for free - in the pocket outlook on WM5?
2) The o2 UI is starting to grate on me now and i want to remove it in favour of a NORMAL today screen. can this be done?
thanks guys
I remove all o2 software when the machine is hard reset. You go through the usual cut/paste appointment, set time, password. Then you get 'tap screen to continue' after this you get a message which says something like ' 3 seconds until reconfigure ' ( i can't remember the message ). Within this 3 seconds BEFORE the o2 cr*p loads simply soft reset. easy. You get basic wm5.0 with no o2 bloat.
I find it really helps with general speed and especially screen rotate when pulling out the keyboard.
You will then need to set up gprs/mms settings yourself UNLESS someone knows which .cab file holds this info in the extended rom area...;-) I've tried them all - no luck.
Many thanks for that- i had a search around and found that if i remove the O2 things from \windows\startup then softreset i can uninstall the o2active rubbish and keep my settings. The speed difference is fantastic!!!
I've also installed an application called switch which has a tiny footprint and is brilliant for closing apps.
Still searching around for how to use outlook rules though
Also can anyone recommend a "desktop" style application (for free) so i can have a shortcuts tab in my today view?
thanks
@davidcollins01
can you please post the cab file that creates the o2 active ui? it is located in your extended rom! why i am asking? it is not there in the german version of the xda mini s....
best regards, lutz
forgive me how would i do that?
if i where you i would install the extended rom unlocker (here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=33680), then copy the files you find in that folder to sd card, zip the o2 active ui cab and attach it here
after thet delete the extended rom unlocker tool on your device and everything is like it was before.
thank you for your (upcoming) help
best regards, lutz
and if you were to find that little switch application you mentioned arlier in your extended Rom, it would be great if you could zip it too and upload it here.
Thanks!
a lot of work to do for you now
cheers, lutz
http://www.snapfiles.com/get/pocketpc/switchppc.html for the switch application
Will be working on the cab files ;-) - well trying lol
I have the attachment if someone wants to host it, send me their email address. Its all the cab files etc out of the rom.
best you can do is uploading it to rapidshare - http://rapidshare.de/ - "durchsuchen" (means browse), upload and then post the link to it here.
also there is an ftp server from xda-developers: ftp://xda:[email protected]
use the upload folder!
thank you very much!
cheers, lutz
rar file containing my entire rom extROM version 1.5.4.102 (11/08/05) Rom Version - 1.5.4.2 WWE is here - http://rapidshare.de/files/8333519/O2XdaMiniS.rar.html
Hope this helps
you're great! thank you very much!
best regards, lutz
sup lutzh, nice to see you here ;-)
anyways, that file you've uploaded to rapidshare... is that the german or the UK O2 Ext-Rom Files?
thanks,
martian
hehehe, here- there- anywhere
it's of course the uk file. if you need german - let me know. but the active ui isn't in the german rom, thats why i've asked here for it. unfortunately it is not visuable after installation - i am evaluating at the moment, what the problem is.
cheers, lutz
Its the UK O2 rom files
thanks davidcollins
Can anyone upload it onto the ftp server? I can't get it, as rapidshare does not like proxy servers...

I downloaded it (through a proxy) and tried to upload to the ftp of this site, but it says 'Pesmission Denied'. Sorry
ingenious - thanks for trying!
Can anybody else give it a go for me and millions of us who sit behind proxy servers.... ?
Thanks

Would anyone be so kind and post here an MDA Compact "T-mobile.tsk" file (Today theme)?
I recently hard reset my S100 and did not run customization from External ROM (except some .cab files) since I don't like the TMO-style dialer and Intellidialer skins and many other stuff. But, although it may sound strange, I do like the TMO Today theme itself -- I've got used to it... And I don't know, from which .cab file I should extract it. So it wold be simpler and easier to download from here.
Thanks in advance,
Cheers,
ctibor
The cab with T-Mobile sim toolkit, theme, sounds, carrierlogo etc. is
TMNL_Customize_113125.sa.CAB from the 1.13WWE rom. In other roms the version number will differ.
Cheers, M
Ps maybe I can upload/pm the theme itself tonight.
Extracted & attaced it.
Thanks a lot, oltp!
I intended to do the same but have had no time for it so far... So you really have helped me!
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.
V
Universal's extended rom. You want the file signed_UNI_o2AUI4_build76.CAB for the skin.

V
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..
Hello there,
I searched the forum but can't find an answer to this question.
I installed the Manilla version of TouchFLO 3D on my MDA Compact IV and now I want the old 'annoying pink version' back!
Where can I get the .cab for this??
Please help!
just hard reset or delete all manila files in windows and
then soft reset.it will work either way.
t mobile theme will be still in your rom.
