Removing O2's Active User Interface - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General

i have been searching though all the old topics, and i can not find anyone who has been able to do this on the Wizard....
Please can someone help me, or link me to another topic where the answer is please..
Marc

This is what I did to remove it from mine...
http://www.modaco.com/index.php?showtopic=235057&view=findpost&p=707087

Cheers man
Read that post, and tried the the corparate option, and it worked
but then, out of pure interest i decided to try the Basic option
and that did just what i wanted it to do
it installed the good stuff, but not the AUI
Thanks man, my phone is super fast now..
Marc

Glad I could help.
By the way, check all your GPRS and MMS stuff is working OK. Once I'd done the above I had to install an Orange contract CAB file (I'm on Orange) before MMS would work (even though that just seemed to set the same MMS settings that I already had).
Just out of interest, what was "the good stuff"?

Good Stuff
O2 Battery Bar
O2 Wifi Hotspots Directory
O2 Background
O2 GPRS Settings
O2 MMS Settings
so i kept the good stuff, but got rid of the bad stuff.....
Thanks again

Can you tell me what the "bad stuff" is and what is to be gained by this?
How do you put it into basic mode?
Do you need to back-up all your files first?
Thanks in advance.

the bad things really that were taken away were the stupid Active User interface that o2 has
it killed it good,
i had to do a hard reset to make ti happen though...
but it is working great now

Few Questions From Forum Newbie! (Ip, ActiveSync and Skins!)

Hi all! Been reading for for about a month. Sites saved my life about 5 times now, but have a few questions i couldn't find, so hoping someone could point me in the right direction! :wink:
I'm using a XDAiis. Less than a month old. Removed that o2 icon and stability is up 110%. I use the WiFi allot in my home, but as a Network engineer by trade, would like to see and perhaps change my Ip address and other settings and so forth. Is their any FREE 3rd party apps, or perhaps a Pocket PC Version on command prompt?
Also, i've seen a few people mentioning using active sync over the WiFi. couldn't find a thread explaining how to do this, as i can't seem to work it out :?: (Must be doing something wrong :wink: )
And lastly, are their any sites where i can download dialer skins? As all i have at the moment is the o2 and Windows defaults.
Thanks in advance to anyone who read this!...

Unlock T-mobile MDA Compact

i have been looking around these forums for a few hours and i can not see a thread on how to do this,
i have read abit about unlock_all_XDA.exe or something
could someone please just give me a quick update on how i can do this
please
Unlock MDA Compact - From T-mobile to O2
Thanks
Marc
mate i used that to unlock and mine runs all but orange now
form t mobile to o2 i went
Which software did you use
and what O2 Rom did you use?
Sorry to be a pain
i dont know much but its no problem mate.
i didnt swop the ROM etc,i just wanted to be able to use any card in it.
so i ran unlocker (read it and go slow cos it can ,mess up)
if ya rush it then it tries to load while your pda is still booting up it can then asks for a code but get stuck on that screen but , a reinstall covers that.
i dont now owt about roms dude
but that unlocker did allow other sims in a t mobile phone
sorry i dont know more,hopefully someone can offer some more info
good luck mate
Thank you very much
will try that and see if it works
i have been told that the O2 roms are better than the T-mobile Roms, so i was wanting rid of anything t-mobile...
Thanks alot again
Marc
For the moment the TMO1.13wwe has the best specs. To ditch the unwanted 'extra' features, you need to hard-reset your device & just after the init procedure ends (after the 'tap screen to begin using your device' message & you get the default windows wallpaper) soft-reset before the customization pop-up shows. Now the ext-rom isn't executed & you have plain 2K3.
Now it's up to you what you install from the ext-rom ;-)

My simlock disappeared too, very strange...

Newbie M5000 advice/roms/updates/etc

Like a lot of new M5000 users, a lot of the posts on here are quite confusing, so I'll list my queries all in one post.
It seems the M5000 is the HTC Universal, but on the inside of the unit it says 'HTC Innovation'. Is this the same model, and if it is then it's presumably safe to follow the HTC Universal topics?
My M500 had the option to hard-reset, then soft-reset immediately, to save the programs in the extended rom from loading, is there a similar facility for the M5000, and if so, is there a list of the extended rom programs anywhere (like the M500 cab list, that tells you what cab is what program, and what you need to install)?
Again, there seems to be a few roms floating about, but they refer to iMate, etc. Is there a decent upgraded rom for the M5000, or is it safe to flash an Orange M5000 with, say, the iMate rom, for better performance?
Sorry for the questions, but I've trolled the forum a lot in the past 2 days, and things can get a little confusing, without actually giving a definate answer to new M5000 users (trolled it enough to know not the ask about M5000 unlocking )
Thanks in advance.
Geez I had written a lengthy reply but it was eaten by one of those many 'database error' server crash... anyway, I'm a newbie too but i"ll give it a shot:
- Yes your m5000 is a universal.
- Yes hard then soft reset is a valid option to stop all the extra stuff from installing, but you might miss on some performance tweaks and other bits from your operator. Also don't forget to write down your connection settings before you hard reset.
- Using another operator rom on your phone is theoretically possible but AFAIK it has many drawbacks and requires an unlocked phone. See the Modaco forums or buzz's site for more info.
Good luck, and don't forget to share your findings!

Help!!! bought HTC Trinity Black - Tottenham court road!

Hiya guys, my first post and a relatively simple one at that.
I have the Trinity in black bit of a impulse buy but I coudn't resist when it made eyes me got a Holux BT GPS module (sirf star 3) TomTom 6 all workin lovely with Ozzie Osbournes foul mouth directions guiding me to each destination.
I have one big issue I am on Vodafone UK and I want a cab file to install all the wap, internet, MMS and streaming settings etc would one of you be able to oblige pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

PAYG or Contract?
Ok, so you are fairly new to this forum. So I wont respond as harshly as I intended to. Why don´t you put a description of what you are looking for in your topic title, and do not make it look like a cry for serious help? A clear topic title will help us to ignore a topic for which we have no interest or answer.

Need Vodafone UK Contract settings - Apologies gentlemen
Okay guys, sorry for not making the title clear in the first post I am relatively new to forums in general. I need the Vodafone UK contract (MMS, Internet, WAP settings). I have searched for hours but to no avail; I can just about get WAP settings but not internet or MMS settings working. I did get all this right on my Sony Ericcsson P990i but finding it really hard for a complete setup on the Trinity, any help would be greatly appreciated.
I was wondering if somebody may have unlocked the extended ROM on the Tytn (qtek 9100 i think?) and maybe pulled the CAB file and whether this would work on the Trinity?
Even a good manual setup guide would be fantastic - perhaps if we collated all the available info then we construct a good guide for most UK networks?
Try this attachment.
Copy to your PPC and run it. Hopefully it will contain all your required settings.
Many Thanks
Thank you very much it works a treat. I just just need to change some registry settings so I can use Vodafone Live, seen thread somewhere so will check it out, looking forward to installing PVplayer and streaming away.

Would you mind letting me know how much you paid. I am looking for one and wondered if I should have a look down TCR?

Orange TOUCH 3 G. A few issues... Comments please.

Just had my HTC Touch 3G on the UK orange network for a few days and have been trying to set it up for my personal tastes etc...
The Orange UNIQUE function, is there a way to just have WiFi on or off, not the hybrid thing that orange seem to want you to use. On my previous HTC phone , a Titan, I just stopped GPRS connectivity and used WiFi but with the UNIQUE setup it doesn't seem possible to do this..
The contacts list, is there anyway to show the list with first name FIRST... I have tried to find a option in the setup menus but have not managed it yet..
Most if my contacts are on first name terms.. I know to look for Joe, Fred or Sally but trying to remember the last name or if I just saved as Joe @Garage etc is a pain for me...
Strange but if I view a individual contact, it appears in the correct order, First name first, last name last etc...
Any thoughts, help etc would be appreciated on a otherwise (so far anyway !) very good device..
Thanks Phil-w
The unique thing is bobbins, I contacted orange about it and the lady in customer services basically admitted that it meant I wouldn't be able to use wifi for normal data connections! So I took the plunge and flashed it to standard HTC ROM, all is well now! I would recommend you do the same!
Yeah as jmrenshaw said just flash your phone with htc rom.Those operator roms are blocking many things on the phone.Good luck.
Where can I get the standard ROM from HTC
Hi everyone,
I'm having a nightmare of a time with Orange's changes to the phone. I want to have the phone as it would be if I bought it offline. Please help me with this.
I assume I need to flash the ROM to the standard ROM but where do I get a hold of this and how do I flash the ROM? And would I be able to get back to Orange's setup in case need to warranty purposes?
Any help would be appreaciated.

What you can do is: put first names in "File as" field, then the contact list will display first names. "Files as" will default to last name.

Yes I have seen the thread you suggest, so many thanks however, as I say in my seperate thread - it is not the "reading" of the tutorial but it is the actual carrying out of the advice because of my physical disabilities.

I've managed to do what you want to do by using one of the dumps posted on the forum here and converting that into a ROM and then flashing the phone with that ROM. Its quite straight forward but I guess you're asking if someone can do that for you. Where abouts are you based?

Yes thanks, I am asking if someone will do it for me - sorry if I was vague but get a bit embarrassed! I have to use my mouth to type so using a "Touch" phone is great but when it comes to more intricate and complicated tasks, I am afraid it gets too difficult. I will be happy to pay of course - postage as well as paying for the job to be done. I just want to get rid of the Orange branded software as I find their software is too "fidly" and I also find that normal access to wifi is easier for me when not using Orange's silly "Unique Manager".
I am based in the UK.
EDIT - NOW SORTED - THANKYOU
Thanks Azahidi,
Slowly going through all the cantacts entries, pity there is no GLOBAL way to change the name order. (Unless I have missed it !!)

Hi Ziffos,
I didn't quite understand the bit at the end 'EDIT - NOW SORTED - THANKYOU'. Does this mean that you've managed to get your phone flashed? If you have then great! If not then I might be able to do it for you. Let me know.
Any help apreciated????
Hello
I have just read all the posts here about the Unique Manager and I completely agree. It is a nightmare, Orange UK have wrecked this phone. I have just got my Mrs. a contract on this phone as I intend to set up sat nav on it for her and I have the touch HD, so off the back of your comments I am looking to flash it.
It is running V1.71 and from reading the thrads I have to revert it back to V1.41, how easy did you find it to debrand it as it appears many people have had problems and I am worried about rendering the phone useless!!!!
I have never done anything like this before but I do understand the instructions as they are very indepth, but I am worried that if any exceptions or problems present themselves I won't be able to deal with it.
How straight forward is this process?
Any help is very much appreciated.
It was a long process but worth it!
Hi there,
I've flashed my phone about 2 weeks ago now and am having a much better experience. Actually I really love the phone now so my advice would be to go for it and flash it. I didn't actually read too many of the comments, I just followed the instructions and did it. Maybe just as well as I might have been put off.
Anyway the process was very long winded as I had to take someone's raw dump and then convert that into a ROM and then flash the phone with it. Took quite a long time but I definitely feel that it was worth it. I don't know how risky it is so can't really advise you on that.
I can send you the ROM file that I did generate if you want do it. I hope it goes as smoothly as it did for me if you do decide to go ahead with it.
