Extended Rom cab files

hi guys..... first of all i would like to say that i finally got the big storage thing working and its cool! Now my question is..... do i have to install all of the cab files in the extended rom 1 by 1? because i clicked on auto RUN and nothing happened.....

Yes, you have to install them manually but you can choose which ones do you really want to have.

Hi,
Can you post link to the program?
Gilbert

I think it will be fair, that we download the programm from the site of the developer.
So you can visit his site and register in the forum. I think he will do many updates of this small goodie, so he need some of our support. If everyone can download the proggie from anywhere else, its possible that he will not put more development power on it.
Think about it :wink:

thanks bongo user, I think you programmed a great tool. helped a lot to me even though I can't check whether hsdpa is really working because there is no specific sign (h instead of u for example) on the hermes to see whether I am in hsdpa or in normal umts.

i have downloaded the software, but have no idea as to what to do with what i have downloaded.
I unpacked the file, amd it is just a bunch of cab files... Unfortunately, I am not sure as to how to proceed from there in order to get the program to work on my Tytn...
Can anyone please help me out? I am new to pocketpc devices in general and don't know my way around yet...

Copy this cab file to your device.
run this cab file like an "EXE File.
Then it installed my App.

thankyou for the quick response... I am going to try this out and then report back

That's a nice tool.
However, I chose to remove the communications manager from the system tray, but now the battery icon is gone too, even though I have not checked that box. And I actually like the battery indicator.
Checking and unchecking the battery indicator checkbox yields no results. Do you have any suggestions?

Sorry BongoUser, I just wanted to make it easy for non german speakers... you can delete the account if you want.
I also updated the wiki information with fit4cat Hermes Tweaker:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Registry
Will you be updating it when we add more registry tweaks to this page like the registryWizard guy does?

hmm... no luck...
I copied it via activesync to my documents folder on the tytn.....
When i open the file i see a bunch of little files that cannot be opened since they are not associated with any programs...
Can you please give me a step by step instruction as to getting this program working? Thanks again!
EDIT: got it! i was unzipping the file before sending it to the ppc, when i should just have sent the file over as it came

You can also have a look at Universal and Wizard registry tweaks, most of them are generic WM5 tweaks, not device specific.

Hi Bongouser..
All i had to do was to copy the file over to my documents folder in the pocket pc WITHOUT unzipping it.
I then clicked on the file in the pocketpc and it installed...
I think my problem was that i was looking for an exe file somewhere to click on to install the program..
It works great though!
I do have a question about the sound quality adjustment for the bluetooth headphones...
what is the default setting from the factory for this on the Tytn?? I am just trying to compare the different levels to the standard so that i can decide which I like best.
Thanks!

Uncheck the Checkbox, then default will be set.

Read the this part: Improve BT A2DP sound quality
Then you can the the default settings too.

Need to extract a dialer skin from a cab (DONE! TyTN Original Green Dialer extracted)

Is there a way of extracting just the green HTC dialer skin from MT_PC_Hermes_Qtek_WWE_060621.CAB?
Because it changes other stuff also like the 3G icon to a U and maybe other stuff which I don't know about.
Any way of extracting just the dialer then?
Thanks

Anyone have any idea?

With a cab manager program you can. Where is this file located? I'll take a look at it and see if I can do that for you.

Where can I find this magic "cab manager" program? I'd like to compare the files from the Cingular and HTC ROMs to see if I can customize the dialer install for myself...

It's here... ftp://xda:[email protected]/Hermes/Extended_ROMs/HTC_TyTN_1.18.255.105_ExtROM_WWE.zip
EDIT: Just had a look at the cab file in question using WinCE Cab Manager (Thanks URPREY) and there's tons of files. I have no idea what to do to get it to only install the dialler stuff.
Any help appreciated.

I took a stab at it and made a cab file to install the necessary files. I haven't tested this on my 8525, but I did make a modified grey dialer yesterday that worked fine with a cab install. You can install this and soft reset and you should have the green TyTN dialer...

It works perfectly!
I can confirm it works as it should on my UK T-Mobile MDA Vario II.
Thanks URPREY.
This should probably be added to the Wiki under dialers.
Thanks again!

I've uploaded the HTC TyTN Green Dialer Skin to the ftp here... ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Hermes/Dialer Skins/TyTN_Dialer_Green.cab
EDIT: Wiki updated!

Sweet. Glad it worked out for you

can someone please provide the IMATE dialer as well?
merry christmas everbody!!

How to flash Original o2 Rom without running branding

Hi,
I want to flash my XDA Orbit with WM6. o2 has the image on their page, but it first installs WM6 and then destroys many things when it tries to put everything to GPRS, so that users pay much money instead of using the built in WLAN.
I read something about flashing and then soft resetting, so that it cannot run the branding tool. The .cab files with the branding tools an Tomtom and some patches are lying then somewhere. Where?
Is this method good?
When do I have to soft-reset?
regards,
Stefan

Just as the unit starts the customisation, directly after the auto-setup routine.
HTH,

Hello,
thank you for the info. I found that out in the meantime, but where are the update files then? I`m unable to find them...

In extended ROM, if you want to take them out, it's possible to cook the same ROM and re-flash it without this part....
If you want to see this stuff, you'll need an application like Total Commander.

Hello,
thank you for the info!
Which version of Total Commander? And why Total Commander? To view cabs? This is possible with WinRar, too. But there are only the installer files and the complete RUU image. I tried TC but I got the same result as with winrar.
Or is the PDA version meant?
I want to use the original ROM from the o2 homepage, just without branding. I have no o2 SIM card, bought it from ebay. And I don't want to unlock it, because of warranty.
regards,
Stefan

Total Commander allows you to look n the extended ROM on your device I presumed you wanted to clear files out that way.

You can look in the RUU image for the nbh file (using WinRAR), then break this apart to take out the ExtROM....

Hope this helps - if not, then I've probably done what you're looking for already and could put it on the FTP site....one of the Mods will tell me if this is a no-no....

Hello again,
I extracted the .nbh file.
"for the nbh file (using WinRAR), then break this apart to take out the ExtROM.."
What to do with it? renaming to .zip or .rar doesn't result in winrar opening it...
It's the german ROM.
I want to flash it as meant and then stop soft-reset when branding wants to start (waiting 3s). And then install only the needed fixes (sd fix, cam fix etc.)

Stefan

Ah. I assumed you had some cooking tools...you need to run NBHExtract, take out the EXTRom, run Dark Simpson's HTC ROM Tool to re-constitute the ROM and then re-flash. Are you happy about all this, or did you want to stay 'official'?

Do you have a link to the German ROM somewhere? I'll happily do all this and post the file somewhere for you to pick up.

Hi,
I don't want to brick it ;-) If I flash a cooked ROM, I have to cid unlock it before. Is this necessary? The premium Rom looks nice. A german version is not available, or did I miss it?
At xda-zone where they postet this, they wrote that somewhere then lying the .cab or .exe files which are executed then. Is it not posssible to extract them? And then install them manually?
On my request where they are no one answered...
I never cooked a rom or something like that, yet.
I can give you the link, but I think you are unable to get it, because there is a serial check before dl. But you can try.
If you have ICQ, I can send it.
http://member.htc.com/ruudownload/O2Wm6SnCheck.aspx
The cam fix (found it in a forum) leads into the cam working good and the new modes are nice but often there is a message that the cam cannot be initialized. Then soft-reset helps.
Do you have the radio fix? Is TMC possible with it? With Navigon?
regards,
Stefan

Well, I'm only a trainee chef, but I can break ROMs apart and put them back together easy, without playing with the content too much - that's all you need here.

7z is another compressed format, use 7zip to expand the file, or use winrar.

Hello, We understand that file is a compressed format but after to have expanded the file where do you copy them in "phone Memory"or "SD"???? Because no *cab in your Download;

yeah.. thats what i was talking about. no where see any cab file

good to hear, hopefully cabs will be released soon.

My Humble Apologies, I fixed the Post, Thats what I get for posting things in the wee hours of the morning half sleep. All fixed, Cab Upped.
I will be updating this post tonight again, few more new fixes and additions of features I found.

eager waiting for your update !!
i downloaded the .cab package. apparently it doesnt wan to isntall into my tp2. i got about 80mb of internal ROM space. but the application needed +-6mb. it juz said install unsuccessful.

Manila has to be disabled, and the messaging app has to be terminated from the task manager for it to install. I'll check the when I make the new cab before I put it up, just wokring out a few kinks that I dont want to see in there.

Stupid question but still a question: can we install this cab on Rom WinMo 6.5 Sense 2.5"french" ???

Yes you should be able to, but its in english so if you have your language set to french (Sorry dont know the lang code) it might not since the lang code is not 0409. I have seen sometimes manila get weirded out by a different lang code, but Always BACKUP your phone before attempting any install.
Sorry all I know I was to update te post, but still ironing the kinks out, main kink right now, too many spaces under the menu selection, its causing blank spaces, need to get rid of that unsightly look.

Thank a lot mate!!
Just for your own information the french code is: 040C

FYI to everyone, I will no longer be posting Cabs or EXTs with features, When I release new finds they will no longer be posted with links. All links will be thru PM, since it seems people like to steal work and claim it as their own.
All info on First post.

First off AWESOME work man, and sorry to hear that someones stealing off ur hard work. Heres hoping ur able to get that msg limit workign and finally il be able to use it without feeling like flinging my phone into a wall im no ifan ( ive been using htc phones since the imate magician aka the Imate Jam ) but whenever someone whips an iphone out and it just does whats its suposed to without being laggy i get a lil bit of envy , but then i think about how cool my phone is and how i can customize it to the nth degree and say F#[email protected] that HTC rocks!

Please could you adapt it for 040C (French language)
I can translate from English if needed
just to confirm : is it fixing the problem with many sms in conversation mode ?
(for your info : pyrorob can't answer to that question ! : just I don't know , try it )
PM me your answer and a link to all what is needed to be translated , please

this looks interesting... when's the next version due?

Still not able to install

Hi
I would really like this update as I am so tired of getting the "SMS sendt" message when sending SMS. I Have tried to install the cab you have attached after disabling Sense and also after via Task Manager/Services "messaging service" set Manual and then reset the device but I still get the message that the installation was unsuccessfully.
Could you please advice me on what to do to get this installation successfully?
What is the procedure for installation of the zip file?
Thanks in advance!
