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

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.... ?

OK, here's the stuff:

can anyone tell me where to get these ROMs ?
they're not on the ftp server any more.
Thanks

What are extended roms ?
The file you have listed below is there, problem with your url, try:
ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/Universal/
then manually click extended roms etc ....
ROMs GONE
I must be awfully thick - I've tried Filezilla, IE6 and Opera, the only directory I see at ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/Universal/ is Shipped Rom and then Xda_Exec_LaunchROM_v113139.exe, nothing else.
I've done a bit of searching and it appears some unkind person has deleted a lot of the Universal files.
Can some kind soul re-upload them or provide somewhere where I can download them?
This sort of stuff is good to distribute using BitTorrent don't you think?
ROMs Gone. Yes
I agree, been looking for the Radio Update and you're right only one ROM in the upload site
looks like they have been deleted by a selfish person :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=100072#100072
can someone re upload them ? or perhaps seed them using bit torrent?
please ?
I am just in the process of uploading the MDA, XDA and jasjar extended ROMs back since I had downloaded them a while ago
edit>>done, but I can only see the files if I use xdaupload as login...odd
thanks!
bluesign2k
found the ROMs you uploaded, they've ended up in the /universal/upload area.
THANKS ! :lol:
I'm looking for JASJAR_WWE_11353_137_10301.rar

I tried to register at ce4arab.com to download O2 Plus V2.3.
Is there anybody that can download it for me? Since my Arab is very bad
I think I did manage to register but even with online translation tools I wasn't able to download the file.
Here is the link:
http://www.ce4arab.com/vb7/showthread.php?t=67549
Thanks in advance!
here u go man
sorry,this is the file
Thanks, also found it in the Atom section. Is yours a "universal" version?
Havn't been able to find a patch for this one.
There's only a patch available for O2 Plus 2.0.
Im not sure,I downloaded it from the link that u gave me.
BTW,whats ur device?
I own an HTC Wizard and an HTC Prophet.
When I try to install the program it tells me that I there has to be a program called "connect" on my device. Older versions also had this message, but there was a patch to work around this.
I will see if I'm able to solve this problem
hope u'll be able to solve it.
i want to ask u a question,did u manage to put the o2 media plus software on ur prophet?
I havn't tried O2 Media Plus, but I will have a look for you to see if I can get it and make it work on the HTC Prophet
thanks in advance,i'll look in ce4arab,maybe they cooked something like this
found one!!
this one worked for my prophet(qteq rom),here u go
Great find! Will try this later on
So is there a working version for the Wizard?
It will work on HTC himalaya?
dont know
i really dont know if it will work on the himalaya,like i said i've tryed it on my prophet with the new qteq rom

You should run this on PPC not on your PC. Just click that file on PPC and install on main memory.
Please tell me if this will work on the Wizard.

Why should someone offer himself for your curiosity?
Yes it works on the Wizard/Prophet
Does anyone feel like making some individual cabs for each or some of the plugins?
I know Last Call and I think Calendar have been done before, but what about Battery/Card/Memory, etc?
Saves space and is more convenient.
Find attached the Extended ROM of 3 UK.
Dont think that it's incomplete due to the small size, u ll find out that it contains several cabs.
I m sure many will find it usefull.
BTW i m still waiting someone's reply on how to dump a rom. I already tried few things with the tools mentioned in wiki but i m not quite sure if i m doing this right. I will really apreciate a feedback on this. Pls feel free to PM me...

Z£Y$
Many thanks mate. This is really appreciated. wish I could help with the rom dump but I am still learning myself. good luck with it.

Umm this is a slightly modded version that does NOT remove the wireless section from the today screen as the original does, and adds a few freeware apps that I use every day. The apps being:
Tcpmp
Total Commander
PS Shut XP
HTC Xbutton
PHM Regedit
and RAR Archive manager.
This is still in the same format as the above (the files only) and not in .nbf format as I simply don't know how to dump it / compile it. So it's for unlocked extended roms only.
For a guide to cooking your unlocked extended rom have a lookee here
I am using this rom on top of an original O2 Exec rom not the QTec rom used by 3UK and it installs fine. So it should work with any universal variant.
Happy 3'ing!

Have now made the ms_.nbf file for of the original files from Z£Y$ for flashing via RUU.
http://rapidshare.com/files/66799675/3uk_ext_rom.zip.html
And here is the ms_.nbf extended rom file for my own version that includes the apps above.
http://rapidshare.com/files/66989609/3uk_ext_rom_psidoc.zip.html
And here is the rom with all the streaming media bits n bobs already in with the browser string modded to suit 3 as well.

Thanks for these Guys.
I wish I could help with dumping the ROM too. I've been looking for the 3 ROM for months.
The 3 rom is a standard Qtek rom with the 3 bits n bobs added in the extended rom.
Basically you can use any WM5 (or 6 if you don't want videocall) of your choice and all the 3 stuff is in the extended roms above.
@Z£Y$ what version of Qtek rom is your 9000 using.

Re:
PSIDOC thanks for confirming this m8.
F***k the ROM dump then lol
BTW i m on:
ROM version:1.30.77 WWE
Radio version: 1.09
ExtROM version: 1.30.246 WWE
Is this the latest Qtek ROM version?
Regards
Z£Y$
Ah, I didn't realise this.
I had gone back to the basic Qtek rom quite some time ago to sort out issues with the web connection dropping out all the time.
I still have issues with being unable to get to My3 with the E61 block. I think this is something to do with certificates. I have no idea how to solve this.
I've asked 3 if they can provide it. Don't hold your breath though.
I contacted them today, they said they would get back to me.

Welcome mate. Re having the latest, I think you are, however have a lookee here (requires you to register.)
http://www.myqtek.com/europe/myqtek.aspx
@ Lakota,
The reason for the E61 block page is because you are using a web browser, not a WAP browser to view the pages on 3. I found this out eventually on my old nokia E61. Sadly the Uni doesn't have a Wap browser. Please refer to This post here for Z£Y$ method of getting around that. Personally I use Opera for a browser so i don't get the problem. You could alway just click the services icon and viola you get past the E61 block.

A Response To Your Find
An Interesting Find

@ PsiDOC
Do you get all the services using opera? such as "today on 3" and access to all "services" such as mobile TV??? I was not able to do so with opera untill few minutes ago hence i decided to release a guide.
@Lakota
I had very lenghty discussions with 3UK and the outcome of the numerous callbacks is that Qtek 9000 is not compatible by 3UK to use planet3. So do not expect a solution by them. However there is a workarond as i m describing here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=341755
Thanks very much for the extended rom and for your guides, Z£Y$. It might finally be time to ditch my Orange sim and get a 3 contract sim I think!
Quick question though, as I don't know too much about the services 3 provides - are ALL the various services that are available on 3 working on the Universal with your guides/workarounds or are there still things that don't work 100%?

With regard to services I only really browse the 3 uk site to check what I owe and get the news etc so yes today on 3 does work. I haven't used the Mobile TV so cant comment on that. Opera is fine for doing that. I usually go in on mobile.three.co.uk and it automatically redirects me without the E61 block page.
With regards your fix for the streaming media most of the files for getting it to work should already be in WM5. If you like I can add the rest into the Extended Rom and have that do the registry change as well, so when you first setup and the customisation is performed it's all done for you. No fuss no hassle then.
If you want it, give me a day or 2 as it's a bit manic here today.
Psi
@PsiDOC
Yes m8 if we can add the procedure i.e registry fixes and files to the Ext ROM will be excellent. I m gonna give this a go myself as well if i have some time... BTW HTC streaming media is not included in my wm5.
@XTCrefugee
All of the services from 3 are working now!!!
Many thanks guys.
Some very useful information posted here. Much Appreciated.
Cheers.
Ok peeps, I would have had the streaming tv ext rom sorted by now, however I am having problrms putting the coredll.dll file into a .cab file for the extended rom. It's sending my PC into a 100% CPU loop. Everything else packs up ok, it's just this little monster that's giving me a headache.
Bear with me on this I will sort it.
Psi
m8 one thing to consider is that these dll files for the streaming media need only to be ADDED if missing. In my case i added only few of them and ignored the rest without to overwrite the existing ones. So if you ll make a cab file it will install all of them rather than installing only the missing ones .....correct me if i m wrong.
Ideally during instalation u should be promted about the existing dll files.
Regards
Z£Y$
I appreciate that mate. However what we have to consider is the varying configurations for user installations. I can set a .cab file for "if exists = skip install" on files which will bypass on install if the file is alrady present.
It's just that I cannot get this bloody file into a .cab file....
It's annoying me now. Been trying all night. GRRRRRR!

Streaming Extended rom is now done and uploaded to rapidshare.

I wanted to downgrade my pocket pc os to it's original rom because the windows mobile 5 does not have a transcriber.thanks
Hello nfstanton,
I don't have any i-Mate ROMs, but would be willing to search if I know more about what you need. I bet the following information might help others want to help you...
Could you list the model name or number of your i-Mate?
Are you trying to downgrade to 2003 or 2002? With or without phone? What language ROM?
Any chance you know the ROM version number that you want?
Wishing you success.
ph10b windows mobile 2003..thanks
LOL - I see that is a hard to find ROM... HTC Worldwide doesn't even list the Himalaya on their Support page anymore. Other resources I checked don't have it in repository either.
One quick fix may be to Download the install package for Transcriber direct from M$. It is listed for WM 2002, but may work under WM 5.
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...c3-2eee-41e3-9339-f7b303f4b386&DisplayLang=en
They have it in English, French and German...
Or
Here on xda I found an "All Himalaya WM 6.x ROMs" thread by user maggie
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=379017
Lots of ROMs in multiple languages to choose from...
Some of the links might still be good... Maybe an Upgrade instead of a Downgrade??? Especially since WM 2003 is next to be phased out of support by M$.
P.S.: I'll still poke around looking for the WM 2003 a bit... Post back if either option above solves your problem so I don't keep searching needlessly.
Here is a Blog with info and working download link for a cooked version of WM2003 ROM which installs on all Himalaya... (It appears to be an English Language ROM)

Thank You VERY MUCH for helping me You're like a angel sent from above i will never forget you
Yay!!!!
I'm glad you found an answer. Honestly, that post made my day. Thanks Bro.
There's a little problem
I'm having difficulty changing the operator in the WM2003 nbk and radio files..it says that i have to use command prompt and enter the words in the instructions so i entered them and it says that it doesn't recognize the syntax...How do you really change the operator ID of the ROM? Please elaborate the steps..if you can.Thanks
I'm honestly not up to speed on Radio Stacks... There is a large group of threads for your device here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=243
Or maybe try the xda wiki pages?
