Announcing XDA-developers Special Edition ROM v1.1

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...

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!

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).

Thanks for the link. I think I'll try it out tonight.

works good, but i think there's a bug where a new MAC peer address appears every 5 seconds during a scan. Now MAC's don't rotate do they? Is it a falsey from the device itself?

after installing it ok, when i run it i get a error saying ""this version of (wififofum.exe) recuires a newer version of microsoft. NET framework than the version installed on this device""
Can any one please tell me how to fix this
thanks

Pop along to microsoft and download the .net compact framework 2.0

All the Intent MIDlet Managers 11.x ever released!

Hi all,
Before Esmertec Java ever came, the only Java midlet manager available (at least on this forum) was Intent's one.
Long time ago i published HERE the first cab-ified version of the 11.x series: 11.1.7.1023. It worked with google maps and opera 3.1 and fullfilled all my needs. I then quit following Intent's further developments until today.
This morning i read this great article by Menneisyys (i have still to find one of his articles which is not great!) and realized that there were two more recent versions of the Intent midlet manager: 11.1.7.1029 and 11.1.7.1034.
In particular, the latest one was already available as a cab but it was not suited for connecting to the net since it prompted asking permission each time a connection was made instead of each session. So using it for browsing with opera mini would have required the user to give his permission every time he opened a page! Even worse that Windows Vista UAC!!!
What can i say? I had to do something! And i was able to re-enable the per-session check!!!
Obviously, the credit for version .1034 should go to dFine (i used his file: TAO_JMM_11_1_7_1034_WM5_Communicator_by_dFine.cab).
I have only removed the oneshot-only security limitation.
Now, i give you here all the versions of the Intent MIDlet Manager i have: they will all work without prompting you each time. ENJOY!
UPDATE: Thanks to megarek who informed me, i'm happy to publish here a still newer version of the MIDlet manager: 11.1.7.1036!
- Intent MIDlet Manager 11.1.7.1036 Newest release! Can Be Installed in SD Card too. (tested)
- Intent MIDlet Manager 11.1.7.1034 Can Be Installed in SD Card too.
- Intent MIDlet Manager 11.1.7.1029 Can't be installed in SD! Must go to Device
- Intent MIDlet Manager 11.1.7.1023 Can't be installed in SD! Must go to Device
Have Fun!!!
RELEASE NOTES:
Version .0136: while stable with all the midlets i've tried so far (google maps, mobile gmaps, etc), i have had problems with Opera Mini 4 beta2: i'm am not able to quit the program (menu->quit will freeze the midlet manager) and i've experienced random freezes too. I don't know if these bugs were present in release .1034 too.
EDIT: user Menneisyys did not experience this problem with his Universal, so it is probably a rom/device related problem. I'll keep you posted on this.
Version .1034: I don't know if it is a version .1034 specific issue or a problem with opera server but i wasn't able to install opera mini 4 beta2 straight from my ppc. I had to download opera jar file (attached below) in my desktop pc first and then copy it in my ppc.

PS: i always installed these programs in my device (no SD card). Versions .1023 and .1029 will only work if installed in the device. The latest one, .1034, should work if installed in SD card too (but i've not tested it in this configuration).

It's a separate hack by dFine; he explicitly enabled storage card support. This is why his releases are all stroage card-aware.

Yeah, i checked the registry entries in the cab and they all point to %installdir%, it was really a good work from dFine!

thank you. great job

Great post, thank you kindly!
However, I don't mean to nit-pick, but .1034 is not the lastest version. The T-Mobile Hermes ROM (WM6 3.60) comes with .1036 of the Intent Midlet Manager

First post has been updated! Enjoy!

btw, could you also have a look at the Jblend (not Jbed!) jvm? prolly you could hack it too. see my related thread & additional info in here, the dev & hacking forum

It'd be GREAT to have a flawless (Net-enabled, new - the currently available CAB file is no-Net and old, for example, it still doesn't support M3D) Jblend installer.

Thanks for the info and the different versions.
I was shocked to discover that the brand new Touch official Dopod English ROM comes bundled with the Intent v10.1.7.575!! In contrast, the official German Touch ROM came with the Esmertec midlet manager. Rather strange!
Do I have to unistall the old Intent version before installing the new ones posted here?
Or do you think that the Esmertec is better than the Intent? I have reasons to believe that it is better/faster

I've thoroughly tested 1036 on my WM6 Universal (aurentius26's WM6 PRO Business V7 VIDEOCALL v7, based on AKU 0.3 - see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=312519 ). I haven't enounctered any crashes / freezes with 1036 installed to my storage card using the same OM4 b2 version. (Tried to exit OM4 several times.)
That is, this might be a ROM/device-specific problem?

I'm using a pretty old one (aurentius26's WM6 PRO Business V7 VIDEOCALL v7, based on AKU 0.3 - see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=312519 ). No problems with the security rights in either (1023 / 1036) version.

Nope, you don't need to explicitly uninstall it - just answer Yes when (and if) the installer asks to remove the old version.

In many respects, it's certainly better; most importantly, in full screen support. However, there still are some advantages of the 11-series TAO over Esmertec; for example, support for M3G.
I really recommend the charts of my forthcoming MIDlet Bible; in there, I've compared these apps. (The charts are still beta and I'll further extend them when I publish the final version of the Bible; however, as a start, they are OK.)

It's really weird. There is nothing that have to be configured, it should work just out of the box. The small hack i apply to the program (to enable the session check) is in rofs_target.zip so, pls, be sure that this file gets replaced when you install one of my cabs. This is the only help i can give you, i'm really sorry.

At this point i have to conclude that it must be a rom (or device) related problem: in all my tests, 100% of the times it freezes when tring to exit the program! I'm going to install a new rom in a few days, i'll keep you informed on the developments...
Bye

Hello,
First of all, I'd like to thank you all for this thread, it's really great.
Then, please correct me if I am wrong. I'm using the smartphone HTC S620 (WM5, Intent v10.1.7.561). This version does not seem to support DatagramConnection type, does it? (Nor SocketServerConnection)
I tried to install the Intent v.11 but it crashed from starting the application.
Thanks in advance for your response,
Luubi.

a little help needed!

ok i have just a small query as to upgrading firmware on my wallaby...
i have ROM version 3.17.03 ENG radio version 4.20.00 protocol version 32s54
is it actually possible to update this, and which would be the best update? i have downloaded the xda developers v1.2, which i would use programme A and active sync i presume(?) but just checkin to see if this would actually work or whether it would bugger everything up lol i have backed the ROm up with OSimage tools and activesync so i think i have covered my bases! Also i am running ezwap v2.5 mms working all that and most wap pages, but when i try to open some pages, i.e mobile.msn.com it comes up with a download box which i click yes on (if i click no it cancels it) and then it comes up with there is no application associated with /temp/ ****** not a valid pocket pc application. its driving me mad, as im unable to check any email or basically sign into anything, and even my DS running opera can do that!!!
cheers for help!

anyone please?

How to uninstall Opera 9.5 Build 2745

Hi Community,
I installed Opera 9.5 Build 2745 Cab from a Touch HD on my Xperia.
Because there is a bug with the keyboard, you can only type one letter in a textbox and after that it will deselect that box, I want to get rid of it.
My problem is I can't remove this version via System -> Remove programs.
It's just not listet there. I already tried do install/uninstall an official beta of Opera.
This only helped me as far as an Opera was listet but it only removed the official beta.
Anyone a suggestions what I could do?
thanks in advance

why dont you run the stock Opera from the Windows folder? that in theory will install the default X1 version and replace the one from Touch HD.

Just go to your windows directory in the root of your phone memory there you will find a .cab of the stock opera

Thank you for your reply, byt there is no an Opera cab there...

- Some people here have had the same problem. I think they all did a hard-reset (everything will be gone afterwards).
-> If you do a hard-reset, you can update your ROM while your at it. The new official ROMs have a better Opera version built in (9.5 build 2532, but way better than the original one, scrolling works with the optical joystick now, faster, better landscape support etc...)

My problem is that in my custom rom (Touch-It Experience v.3.01) I have Opera 9.5 Build 2532, but I cannot change with AEKmap to the GREEK layout. Is not working. I can write only English...
Perhaps, should I take the: Opera.exe and OperaL.exe from the cab of Build 2520 (which is working with AEKmap - Greek well, but there is no scrolling which I DO want!) and overite the ones of the 2532?
Or vice versa?
Do you think that I will solve the problem?
Thank you!

I searched and searched...and I didn't found a solution.
Is there now a way to uninstall opera when it's not listed in the program list? It's driving me crazy!

Reinstalling doesn't work
When I try to do this, it say's something like "opera software asa opera 9.5 cannot be removed"

Did you just try to install on top of the current version, without uninstalling it?
I think this version is in some custom ROMs. The bug was definately the same and installing the version I linked to on top of the previous version always did the trick for me. But perhaps it depends on the ROM

Maybe it's because Opera mobile is my standard browser?
Could this be the reason why I can't re/uninstall it?

Another option is to try SKT Tools. You can kill opera.exe and I found several posts here and on PPCGeeks stating that it worked.
I tried it with the stock opera on my Sprint TP, and it worked (I do not even remember what the original version was). First time I got the same message (cannot delete...). But once I stopped the opera.exe from running, it worked just fine.
Hope this helps.
