I just upgraded to the LVSW WM6 ROM and want to know how to get Hotmail, etc. back onto my today screen. I thought it might be in the ExtROM area but couldn't see it. How do I get this suite back?
Bump.
No-one know?
Hi There,
Firstly, you need to download the WXML Optional Cabs, which will contain the Live! mobile cab, or find it alone around the forum somewhere and install. If it's already on your Hermes, but not on the today screen, you need to navigate to start -> settings -> Today then in the bottom tab, switch to 'Items' and make sure Windows Live! tickbox is checked. It should then appear on the 'Today' screen.
Hope this helps!

Hi all,
New to XDA, so sorry if this is just such a stupid question!
How can I get rid of the O2 phone 'skin'. When I first upgraded my ROM I got a much nicer phone. Then the O2 install happened and I'm back to the horrible O2 version. Can I clear this out without too much trouble?
Also, while I'm here, can I do the same for the welcome screen which always seems to stick an O2 logo across whatever title is displayed?
Many thanks in advance

here are some phone skins
about the splash screen then do a search about it some guy made a tool which let you change it
If u mean the O2 Active cack that is everywhere, then follow these steps mate. If not, forget it
The way I removed them was ...
a) Start, Settings, Today, Items(at the bottom) and remove the tick from the O2 Active line.
b) Start, Setting, System, Memory, then Stop All Programs Running in memory.
c) Start, Settings, System, Remove Programs. Then remove the O2 progs. I think theres three in total, ActiveUI, Xmail, and one other (think it has o2 in the name).
If when you go back to the Today Screen, the background is all strange with lines on it, that is because the picture that was used has been removed. Therefore go into Start, Settings, Today, and choose Spiral or any other theme you have installed to replace the desktop image from the Today Screen.
Hope that helps,
Rgds,
Rob.

Ok I scoured the archives and can't find what I need. Basically I've..
1. Hard reset - Soft reset and got back to it not installing anything off Extended Rom.
2. Run Total Commander and found the Extended Rom, got list of apps.
3. How do you install them from here, there is no apparent command and clicking on them messed up the title, on my JAM when you go into ext rom clicking on stuff installs it, so what do I do here ?
4. Anyone got a link to list of what to install and what it does ???
many thanks
in TCommander, set it up for single click operation - go to about/settings.
once done, then just click on the cab file(s) you want to install and you're done!
Hey thanks, I'll give it a go. Am I correct in saying that the T-Mob vario does not have the Skype and antivirus programmes on it ?
Yes, no Skype and Av on the Vario, only on the K-jams. When in TC, just double tap on a file and it is executed, a single tap does nothing or lets you change the file name.
Thanks very much. Are there any posts here concerning what each bit in the rom does, I can find one from the Magician on T-Mob but not the Wizard.
on this site they have a list for the Dutch T-Mobile Vario and the I-Mate k-Jams. (it is in Dutch, but you can understand what the files mean)
http://gathering.tweakers.net/forum/list_messages/1085437//
I'll have a look, for those contemplating doing this too,
The one called 'Cab customisation connection TMUK wizard'
is your GPRS settings, bit of a simple one, but probably essential unless you like tapping in your own settings 1
The one called TMO wallpaper sound ominous so I deleted it.
That Dutch list is good, most apps are the same replace the TMONL Moniker witl TMOUK and you'll be on track.
There are less things on the UK one that though quite a few less.
Hi
I'm new here but I was wondering if anyone knew how I could get rid of the O2 customizations. I've unlocked it with the unlocking tool but I cannot get a Rom for I-mate to clear the O2 rubbish as I am not allowed to join clubimate without a valid imei number.
I've checked xda-developers ftp site for the correct rom but i cannot find one anywhere.
Please help me
Sloane
You don't need a new ROM, and with the UK mini S, it's probably best to leave the supplied one alone as, amongst other things, the hardware keyboard layout is different and you'd need to re-patch the keys and symbols back onto the right keys from the i-mate defaults.
I let the full O2 install happen to see what it would install (aside from the 'Active' rubbish) before I did a hard reset to clear it all out. During the reset, when it says 'installing customisations in 5 secs' (or whatever the exact msg is), do a soft reset with the stylus in the hole in the side, and voila, native Wizard, but with correct keyboard mapping... Don't worry, your SIM unlocking will survive the hard reset.
Then, get Total Commander because there are some cab files in the extended ROM that you might want like the MMS editor, additional ring tones etc...
I've got a Qtek 9100 and a mini S (now on Vodafone) and the overall build quality of the mini S is much higher.
Hope that helps?

Right, I've done exactly as you said. I now have no O2 stuff there. I've got total commander on my phone but I dont know what to look for to get gprs and mms settings back.
Can you help please

Sure, the choice of what to add is entirely up to you, but here's what I added...
during the customising bit that you stopped when you soft reset, the contents of the Extended ROM are installed. Autorun.exe reads Config.txt and all the cab files listed there are installed. We want some of them.
Point Total Commander to '\Extended_Rom\ and you'll see them all. I looked at the extended ROM on my 9100 and tried to find the equivalent O2 cab files. Even though I had already configured MMS connection and server details, the MMS inbox didn't show up until I installed the cab file with MMS1 in the name. I also ran the RingTone one, SmartDialing and, I think, Signed_Version.sa (because my Qtek phone had a similar file, even though I'm not sure what's in it).
I've got a Voda SIM in, so I set up the two GPRS access points for web and wap( only used for MMS). Raphael over at BeyondTheTech.com has the MMS settings available as cab files to d/l and install, to save typing them in by hand. They must also be in the Extended ROM cab files, but I didn't need the O2 ones, and couldn't tell from the names, which cab they were in. The k-jam comes with all the carriers' settings in conveniently named files, and that's what Raphael has listed.
If I had had more time, I might have installed them all, one by one to see what each contained, but I was going out and wanted to take the mini S with me.
Hopefully, that will get you a good way there, but if you are stuck with any other bits, yell and I or somebody else will help I'm sure...
Good luck,
Dox

To get rid of the O2 interface I just removed it from the Startup directory in Windows, there are two files, both with O2 icons and then did a soft reset. Although I imagine there's still some O2 trickery lurking around on my device, I didn't have to add any new settings or anything that required me to switch my brain from inactive to mildly inactive.

Hi, im thinking of just removing those two files from start up as i dont want to do anything too extreme to get rid of 02 rubbish and the method of hard resetting sounds a little tricky, not sure i'd be confident doing it as i only just got the phone.
Have you noticed any error messages since doing this? Does the 02 rubbish not just appear again next time you do a soft reset?
Just let it do what its doing and then choose basic install. Then remove the 02 active in startup to stop the annoying message.
My wizard is running fine like that with all the mms settings etc.
Ok, i haven't hard reset but i have removed the 02 active thing in start up and its no longer appearing on the desktop now. Phone seems a bit more responsive.

If your happy with how its performing then dont change. However if you hard reset and opted for a basic you should see even more of a speed increase. But like I say if it aint broke it dont need fixin
I just received an O2 XDA Exec from Santa, and I activated the Active Desktop to see what it looked like. Awful. I'm now finding it difflcult to turn the damn thing off and get back to the standard desktop interface. Anyone know how I do this?
try www.logmein.com
add your computer to an account, and connect trough pocket internet explorer on the same site it works great.
I think you mean O2 Active right? I'm afraid I've never touched it, but many say a hard reset is required. I doubt it... but look around on the board. Sorry I can't help further.

Go to "file explorer"
"My Device" then "Windows" folder, then "StartUp" folder and delete "Active". Then soft reset device.
This will get rid of all that O2 active **** on your desktop. If you choose you want it again just goto programs and select O2 Active. But then you will have to follow instructions above to remove it again.
Hope this helps
Brill, thanks mate, that's it gone.
Hi, i am having the same issue, i want 02 active icons on the desktop gone, but can you tell me if since doing this solution if you have had any errors? Does this not just load up again next time you soft reset?
I want it gone but i don't want to do anything too drastic and mess up my new phone.
Thanks
tom99, the exec seems to be MORE stable without the O2 icons on Today screen.
If you follow my instructions then they wont come back on a soft reset.
But you will get it back if you select O2 Active from the programs menu.

If you follow the instructions that ArgyleMoss posted, it will remove the O2 Active desktop and your Exec should be fine. Mine was.

Excellent! Just got myself an XDA Exec, and have found loads of great info and some great hints and tips on this forum.
Cheers all.

I'm using an MDA with ROM 2.26 and I want to remove t-zones and pocket msn or at least remove the shortcuts from my Today screen. I've searched and I can't figure it out. Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks

You can't uninstall a program that is inherent in a ROM. You can remove them from your Today screen, though.
Go to Start/Settings/Today.
Click on the "Items" tab.
Uncheck t-zones and Pocket MSN, along with anything else you want to remove.
Also, I haven't looked at the MDA ROM in quite a while, but if these programs also run themselves at boot, you might want to go into \\Windows\Startup to remove any .lnk files that point to them.
Nevermind, I found it.

You can also remove them from the start menu by going to Windows/Start Menu and deleting whatever shortcuts you don't want to see anymore.
