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

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!
cheers,

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
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).

New Intent Java MIDlet Manager 11.1.7.1036

I saw this right now at softpedia.
Here's the direct link
I think this is the latest releast of the Intent java. I cannot verify the version cause I didn't install.
If someone makes feedback comparing it to the Esmertec Jbed it would be great.

Thanks for the information^^
Just tested it...
Esmertic is better:
1. auto-hide the top and bottun function bars for Opera mini
2. slighter
However, Intent Java can be used no matter what regions the users set for their device while Esmertic requires the same regions as the device's system CID.

How do I exactly upgrade ?
Is it going to overwrite the old version? I don't want to loose another 3MB storage space with it.
BTW. I tested it with the Device Emulator and it doesen't really work. Oh ... and yeah ... it take 3MB storage space.

i've got a question
does anybody can this be installed into SD card?
regards
thanks

There is a little bug with pim.vol in this build (only with contacts from SIM). You can apply patch, which restore another pim.vol.
Install patch:
- backup your contacts (you can use Jeyo Mobile Companion), because this patch erase all contacts from phone (not from sim)
- apply patch
- restore your contacts.
PS: I upload patch lately

Usually 8-9 mb. Leak of memory is small (after 11 days without reboot it will be 5-6 mb). Another screenshots I put lately.

Thanks for info , I'll try it soon.

Is this version better than the version from andot?
How can I translate to German?

I've instaled your rom ALEUT, it's perfect! good work man , I hope that you'll release more roms for typhoon ...maybe a new cooked rom wm6.1 (I'm asking to much...I know ), thanks a lot

Nice work,Aleut!

Menu speed??
Hi ALEURT,
Compared to andot's WM6 ROM, I have some concerns first before I try.
1. Is this more robust and responsive?I mean menu loading, and especially Messages and Contacts loading, is this faster?
2. Also is this in a near Vanilla version?I mean more or less it contains ALL the default applications that WM6 includes?Not just some replacements?
3. Is this AKU more latest than what andot used?
I am currently using andot's ROM, but I am having so much doubt that he is cooking a new and improved version since it is now killing me about the lagging and everything.
Thanks for this one. Hope to get answers soon enough so I can reflash and give you some feedbacks.

1. May be no more faster because it depend on cpu, my rom no have unnecessary components and settings.
2. In my rom you don't find: STK, windows life, office, ... because it don't work (STK) or you can install separately (windows life, office), my rom include codecs for wmp, MMS and more.
3. Yes, andot used AKU 0.4.0 (18120.0.4.0 v.5.2.1616), my version is AKU 0.5.0 (18165.0.5.0 v.5.2.1711)

This is the best rom!

HTC X-Button (Task Manager) 2.0 (build 31261)
I been searching for a while looking for the cab. I finally found it and wanted to share it. Maybe you can add it to the OEM cab's thread and remove this one.
Enjoy.

This version of 2.x doesn't work on non-htc devices as well, you got any other version of it?

how is it different than 1.x?

Well the reason i posted this cab, it is the only version that i could find that worked correctly with WM6.1 rom. The others would cause and error and cause the device to reboot.

I have 6.1 htc mogul 6800, installing now. glad to hear it works for 6.1 and mogul

Would you mind tell us what kind of phone do you have? I cannot make it work on my Wizard after installing 6.1. Many different ROMs have been tried but all have the same problem.
Thanks.

I success installed on P3300. WM6.1 ROM by meschle.
How to remove the original WM6.1 Task Manager ? I don't know it will conflict or not.

HTC Task Manger 2.0 build 31261
I installed it on my hermes wm 6.1. The task manager seems to be working but there's no X button. I tried in options, reinstalling many times but nothing. Would anyone know if there's registry entry that could be responsible for that? Thanks

I used it in the past on a tmobile wing (htc herald) and the problem is it does not differentiate ok and close at all. If I tried to make a new appointment in my calendar and hit ok it would close the calendar program and didn't save anything.

I did success install but I think use another company is better support and bugfix and cute and low memory usage.
Such as BatteryStatus Extended version have built in these function. or SPB Pocket Plus.
I am newbie too. No time to learn PPC. If i have another choice I will told here.

Works on the Duttys 6.1 - 5.2.19716 just fine. Needs a soft reset after install; and the installer complains that it might not work right; but seems to be working okay on my end.
X Buttons and all.

I definately prefer BatteryStatus Extended version for closing apps on my Hermes!

X-button file reloaded
This X-button cab works on the Mogul with 6.1. Not sure why it was labelled Taskmanager 2.

thanks . . . . downloaded

thanks, both downloaded

Any other users install this on WM6.5 Titanium? It works, but only from the Home screen, and it is in the same spot as the clock in the title bar area. It is actually overlaid on top of the clock and looks bad.
This makes the app pretty useless if it can't be used from the title bar from anywhere other than the Titanium home.
FYI this is on a xv6800 (titan).

Thanks
Works well on my HX4700 iPAQ

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
Greetings from Germany

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.
