Version 1.1 of the Special Edition ROM is now out:
Fixed:
- Based on O2 3.17.03 ROM: annoying reply to SMS bug fixed
- Everyone can now use GPRS
- Pocket IE opens GPRS connection
- Serial ActiveSync now works
- Minor issues and cosmetics
New:
- Brand new version of dbView tool
- EzWAP2
- Our own band switch tool for US users, switch between all three bands
(no guarantee your hardware supports it, but at least you can now try)
This is now officially the coolest ROM for you, no matter where you live...
See the mkrom page for details on how to build this ROM (difficult), or wait for some kind soul to build the EXE, and just download and run it (easy).
Thanks a lot for your effort. I've really enjoyed the possibility to create my own ROM.
Is it possible to get a look on the source code of that welcome.exe app? So far it 's the only closed thing in your package.
thanks
XDA-developers ROM v1.1 installer
Thanks to Andre, who was online during the announcement and who sent me a message, I must have broken some speed records:
Click here to download a new and tested version of Special Edition ROM v1.1. Simply run the exe and presto...
This version fixes most if not all of the problems some people had with the 1.0 release. Thanks to the XDA-developers for doing such cool work, and for making their instructions easy to follow...

We're glad you appreciate it. That's what we work for...

The source is online: http://xda-developers.com/mkrom/welcome101-src.zip . The source for the welcome in the previous ROM was available too. Look at the mkrom page for details...
Let us know if you come across cool tricks we could incorporate in our ROMs too.
oh, to my previous post:
nevermind, my wish is granted, found the sources on the mkrom page.
thanks
update
jeff summers, you are a prince amongst men! Ta!
This is wonderful.
My PIE & ActiveSync over GPRS are now working well with this ROM + AT&T SX56 radion on my T-mobile USA device.
Thanks again XDA Developers, and Jeff for being so 'quick' with his help!
cheers,

Jeff you're like greased lightning!!! Well done to the boys and girls at xda-developers for this update, it seriously rocks!! MaxIreland and "guest" refered to a prog called sms-char-counter....
freeware tool written from a user at a german xda forum. it's an sms-char-counter

Any more genious people out there who know where to get this from?? I'll learn german if I have to! Maybe it would be a good addition to the next version of the ROM!!

Thank you

OK silly question...
I am here in the uk...
Last time i tried to flash my xda with the radio upgrade i lost all functions on the device and had to send it back to the service centre to be repaired...
If i run the exe that has beed kindly created is there any chance of screwing up my device again!...
I would be running via USB and the docking station that came with the decive!..
I want to do this but am a little worried after the last incident!...

thx for your great work.
is there any "diff" tool for ce, so that i know what ezwap2.5 or other programs (like an sms-counter) are installing exactly for using with mkrom?
if i got you right, then i need all files installed and all registry-entries?
is there any install-tracker on ce?
Jabba
Two questions:
Is EzWap version 2.5 MMS or 2
When you say:
"- Everyone can now use GPRS"
What do you mean exactly by this ?
Because we have a serious problem with our local operator: they "upgraded" the GPRS system (by Erickson) last week, and since then, all GPRS on Pocket PC's stopped connecting. Is the new ROM the solution ?
ezwap 2.5 has got MMS
is there a program on the new ROM which can open pdf files instead of acrobat reader?
Thanks Jeff and you wonderfull developers, This ROM is great and I didn't have to mess arround in UNIX to install it.
thx man gonna try it soon !
installed it but the autoconfig still doesn't work on my xda ?
SMS-Counter Software to include in ROM
u'll find it here (german thread in forum):
http://www.ppc-welt-community.de/showthread.php?s=&threadid=21372&highlight=smscounter
Try it.... it sits as small programm in the taskbar naming "start" (because it's right over the start button).. it runs always... taking nearly no cpu-time. when u start to write a sms then it begins to count (like nokia).

Are you sure you downloaded the official release from MS, not from some third party site like freewareppc.com or whatever? (not disparaging that site, just pointing out possibility of corrupt file on third party site...)

Check this package out....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=324049
Doesn't include pics, but easier to install...
thanks for the tip ,the package looks pretty sweetmand very user friendly
but mind asking..are these skins signed? or are they ment for nocet ROM only?!
cheers
They were signed using multifilesigner1.0 with SDKSamplePrivDeveloper certificate.
They wouldn't work for me until I signed them.
I don't think BUZZ created these skins, I may be wrong, but the post I found them on has an older date than BUZZ's. here's the link:
http://www.lakeridgesoftware.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5519
According to this they were created by BIBI, JUNI, and CHEFZ.
At any rate, thanks to whomever created them.
I found some more skins here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=322329&highlight=keyboard+skins
He said he doesn't know who created them.
and I created one (the ugly yellow one)
they need to be renamed, or added to the zip in my package..

downloads a 242k cab, but when i put it on diamond just says, installation of chess was unsuccessful every time tried a few times & same every time here m8
any ideas maybe its corrupted or something ?
foiled
/shakes fist
I figured that would happen. I am in the midst of cooking and don't have a rom on my diamond to test, so I couldn't verify before I replied with the link.
I just downloaded the exe, which ran successfully and deposited a cab on my phone. That cab was also 242k, installed successfully, but also gave me the error ... probably because I don't have dot net framework installed.
let me do that and get back to you.
Best regards,

Drat ...
no joy !!
I used to have a vogue and when I switched to a VGA device, I went out and got the VGA cab of Chess, but didn't have a chance to use it.
I'm a little bit bummed.
Sorry ...
Best regards,
-boggsie
np's m8 thanks for trying there
any 1 else help out with a cab of this 1 please ?
Ok,
I was messing about with sys/xip of 20924 & 20931 ... just to be sure, I flashed my stock sprint rom 19965 and the vga cab installs and the chess application works fine.
So, this may be something with later versions of WM6.1 ??

Pocket Grandmaster and Pocket Fritz run fine but not freeware
I'd prefer freeware.

This file is damaged, that's why you can't install it.
Download the app from aruppenthal, it contains chess, + a lot of other arcade games. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=464758
You can use old chess for PPC, working great on my Diamond:
http://freewareppc.com/games/chess.shtml
I found this one:
http://www.zanchetta.net/CEBoard/
It looks good and playing rather decently. You can install different engines and do analysis. Good thing, gonna stick for it by now.
arix thx for link, will look at it too.
if you check the rom development, one of the rom threads, i cnt remember which one, it has some optional exta cabs, one of them is called games for windows that has chess and solatare n everything lol
Hi,

Updated the tool installation section
Hi,
I have updated the tool installation section on my blog.
Primarily-
1. SQL 3.5 installation cab should be installed before the application cab as the tool uses newer version of SQL which is not present in ROM by default.
thanks a lot
I'm gonna have a look on it
Nice App!! Thanks for sharing..
Usage
