hi i have been looking through this formu but cannot really find what i am after. sorry in advance but if it was covered in other threads please give links.
i would like to upgrade my rom (current i am using pre-installed tmobile mda pro rom) to something batter. the problem is there is so many things in this forum that makes me conufused.
Is it possible (probably it is- but how) to upgrade my ROM by creating my own ROM eg take the best radio rom and extended rom with the stuff i want eg some application i am using right now - instead of normal keyboard get resco keyboard and instead of file explorer get resco explorer and so on and on and put them to the extended rom .
is there any soft to do it ? can someone provide me with links where i can find out something more about ROM cos wiki isnt really helpful and seems to be out of date.
any help wanted !
cheers, cudo
ps. or put tomtom to the extRom...rom that would feauture all the good stuff.
what a pity nobady is willing to help me..maybe u vac just point me to some accurate threads within this forum, if ther are some.
cheers, cudo
To put another Radio ROM in is trivial.
Take out the other two (ExtROM and OS) ROM images and just flash in the Radio file. I did this and didn't even need a hard reset.
To put TomTom into your ExtROM is easy too.
Once you have done your hard reset with your new ROM images and the ExtROM has loaded, you have 10MB of space that you can reclaim. There are instructions at the top of this forum for unlocking the ExtROM and making it appear as another memory area.
Please use backup software regularly so that you don't have to reflash the unit until the next OS upgrade.
Creating a ROM image is more hard work, and I don't know for sure that all the information is accurate. This is only my understanding of the process.
Install the programs that you want in your ROM to your PDA and make a note of the locations of all files and registry entries that are installed.
Take a recent ROM image and unpack it to your desktop.
Delete the programs that you don't want to install, and then search through the hives for the entries that relate to those programs. Delete those too.
Put the files and registry entries of the programs you are putting into your ROM into their post-installed locations.
Rebuild the ROM image.
Flash it in.
Hopefully this won't break your PDA if you get it wrong, I'm guessing that this is very much a trial and error process.
I haven't tried this.
Use this information at your own risk, it could break your PDA.
how do i separate the rom images from each other..i mean radio, os and extended roms ? when i unzip the UNI_TMUK_130114_130232_11003_WWE_BL101_Ship i am getting loads of files but cannot see the right ones.
cheers, cudo
The only solution for a random ringtone now is Random Ringtones, MortScript by oblyvaeon. I made a simple application to do just that - randomize your ringtone. It scans your storage card (or any other location you specify) for music files and every time after an incoming call your ringtone will become one of those. Unlike the mentioned script, it does not require to be running all the time, so there is zero CPU and memory usage.
Features of version 1.2.1:
Select many folders to get ringtones from
Exclude some ringtones you don't like in those folders
Download
The program requires Microsoft .NET Compact Framework 3.5. If your device is complaining about wrong .NET version or missing assemblies, [re]install it first. Install only from the site mentioned above, because other packages have been reported as broken.
If something doesn't work, install the test version first and report what happens.
The program is licensed as GNU GPL v3 (free as in freedom), source code is available.
Seems a good idea; in effect what we have here is a ringtone randomiser.
Will try it out and give you some feedback.

This is what I was looking for... in two ways.
a) For a long time I wanted a random ringtone.
b) And recently I want to know how to make apps for WM5 or 6. I know basic programming and i learn easily, i'm interested in making some apps, but how? what tools do you use? Could you explain? Could yoy PM me or email me? or here?
Regards.
.NET and C# is it, and the APIs used are Microsoft.WindowsMobile.Status (for monitoring incoming calls) and basic registry manipulation. I can release the source excerpts or the whole code later, once I clean everything up.

That's all I need thanks.
Well while i'm here, do you know a site or thread which has basic instructions about making a "hello world" app for PPC? Just to get me started.
I don't want to mess your thread, I'll post a new one for this.
Thanks!
This works great, and its only 8kb! Thanks a lot, I've wanted something like this for a while.
Updated it, see first post.
not work
it's a great idea but not work. i reset my htc 3300, install compac netframewor 3.5 and then install the program. the first time, it work but when i change the path and i put autorun the program crash.
i apologise for my english
Can you please post the crash details? A screenshot, or just the error message text.
description
in my first configuration i put 2 songs in the folder "\Tarjeta de almacenamiento\songs\" of the system.
in my second configuration i put 2 songs in the folder "\temp\" of the system.
thanks
Hi, i installed to Storage Card, and got this error:
File or assembly name
'System.Windows.Forms,
Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=969DB8053D3322AC',
or one of its dependencies, was not
found.
Cheers
-edit- just tried installing to device instead, same error.
sigc, I will try myself and post back. But you must not select any other folder than WM sees already (SD root is OK, but not sub-folders).
mugglescuop, install NET CF 3.5. In the future, i might rewrite the program without that dependency, but right now it's like that.
Pardon me if this is a stupid question, but how hard would it be to make this program recoginze a subfolder on the storage card instead of just the root? There's already so many other things I must put in the root (all my themes and sms tones etc.) it would be ten times worse if I moved all my ringtones in here too. Especially since many of them have the same names as my SMS tones, just longer versions.

Agreed.
AthenaGirl, can you select those tones you have in a subfolder as your ringtone in Settings-Phone?

i have to have my ringtones in '//windows/rings' usually
To make it clear:
There are several folders Windows Mobile searches ringtones for in. These (usually) are:
\Windows\Rings
\Storage Card\
\Storage Card\My Documents\
Maybe I'm missing something.
As stated in the first post, the program does not copy any files. Therefore, do not put them where you don't see them yourself when selecting ringtone the usual way.
In the next version, you'll be just presented with a choice of where to choose random ringtones from.
oh right ok cheers
Still downloading NET CF 3.5... taking a while on a GRPS connection
sigc, your problem should be fixed now, download the new version.
I keep all mine in \Storage Card\My Documents\My Ringtones and they show up in the settings. In playing with this just now I discovered my SMS tones still appear if I move them from the root of the card to My Documents. You all probably knew this already but I somehow missed it. This cleans up my root a good bit. Now if I could only move those tsk files...
Hi!
I use HTC P3400i, but I can't change my thimr at taday.
before I can change it, but now It will not be changed. Why?
I already flash my phone.
just put the .tsk files into the root of ya fone n go to today n set the themes ya want best of luck
You may put .tsk files in the root of your phone or SD card. Probably the theme files may have been placed in some directory and hence are not showing upin today screen.

The tsk files should be ideally put in \My Documents or \Windows folder.
Thanks to All,
I already solve that Problem
I guess you must have done a hard reset right? I haven't found any other solution for this problem till now. Please do share when you find solution to any problem so that others can benefit too, and our forum can be saved from "Wild Threads"
Sumit,

Thanks to all member of this forum. They are really nice People and also helpful.
By the way, after purchase GENE, with in 1 month I flash my ROM, then the Theme problem occurred (Basically It is not Problem, Just copy Theme file into windows folder).

Guys,
I'm new in this forum so I wish say hi to everybody...
Then, I have an HTC diamond 2 (original rom) I've searched for the topic in the forum and I found just a solution working in my phone.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=515808&page=3
I've downloaded the cab and everything is working fine, but, because on soft reset all the values return to the original one I'm forced to install the cab everytime, so it should be easier to create a button that is going to modify the following parameter in the registry:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\TNETW12511\Parms]
"HTCKeepWifiOnWhenUnattended"=dword:00000001
Is it possible? There is someone helping me?
I have to keep on the wifi in order to use my voip...
Thanks in advance,
Markuz
You can export that registry key and just insttall the registry instead of the cab if the settings aren't sticking.
