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

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!
cheers,

Jeff you're like greased lightning!!! Well done to the boys and girls at xda-developers for this update, it seriously rocks!! MaxIreland and "guest" refered to a prog called sms-char-counter....
freeware tool written from a user at a german xda forum. it's an sms-char-counter

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!!
Respect to you all at xda-developers.com

Hoorah, the SMS caller identity thing has been fixed

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).

Hmmm..... Just a quick question. IF i sent you a bootloader pic and a theme (all in proper format) would you be willing to add it to your kitchen?
It's a Star Trek Theme/bootpic I created.
I can't for the life of me get my kitchen to work at all.

yeah, of course, your contributions are always welcome! send it to: [email protected]

Hi all,
For some reason php is acting funny on my friend's box, using 100% of the available processor cycles every time it is invoked. We're working on fixing this, but I must say I have very little time these next few weeks. I suggest everyone that needs to cook using Yorch's kitchen for now.
Yorch: shall I just forward to yours for now?

Jeff

not a problem Jeff, yeah, you can forward to mine. Hey I also need your help, I'm trying to add ROM 4.00.21 to my kitchen, We can't figure out how, if you could please email me or pm

Hi Jeff and York, im a newbie, and also want to make a kitchen too. can you show me how to download and install on my Linux Server?
thanks. [email protected]

Hi Yorch
Please add in yours ROM-kitchen - O2 ROM WM2003 4.00.11

i went to http://www.yorch.net and customised a rom but was not able to find how to download it.
can any one help me.
I want to run XDAunlock.exe on my phone when i run it now it says unable to get unlock code. some one said that i should upgrade my rom to xda-special rom-1.2 but i dont have linux. i downloaded jeffs executable rom but it was giving errors cannot find rom image.

Can you add a PPC 2002 Siemens SX56 rom to your kitchen (www.yorch.net), I tried the T-mobile but it doesn't have the same feel.
Can I unlock the phone using XDA unlock from the ROM created in your kitchen?

Is any one working on cooked 4.00.21 roms with working programs in the rom? :mrgreen:
Yorch's site is good
havent checked up on Jeff's since its not ben lettig me in

If someone can help me get the necessary files to add that rom to the kitchen I will get it added. I just haven't been able to figure out how to get the necessary files.

Update Util?

Hi!
I wana flash WM6 on my unbranded Artemis.
Already installed USPL and downloaded a ROM, wich is a rar file "ARTE_WWE_WM6.rar" containing "OS.nb"
So what to do with that OS.nb?
I think I will need a Utility to flash that ROM to my device right?
Where to get it?
Thanks!

I propably need a ROM which includes a Utility?
I do not even know which WM6 ROMs there are.
Which one would you recommend?

I suggest you switch from the upgrading section to the Mobile 6 section of this site. There is a lot more info about WM6.
Basically (I don't intend to be complete) there are three flavours: Bepe's ROM, the PDAVIET Black and Blue ROM and, since a few days, a ROM that comes close (or is?) the HTC ROM. They are all different so you have to decide which one you like the most. They all have popular threads with lots of enthousiast users, more or less. Happy reading!

Okay I now got the PV Black&Blue v3 - which is great for me!! (though I dont know the others)
but the HTC Home Today Plugin takes so much space
If there were just the clock ...

wm pocket ie 6.1

is this available as a cab that will work on WM6?
I'd like all the new features in the browser but don't want to flash an entirely new rom to my device...
thanks,
vc

Yes there is a cab for pie 6.1, i got it from ppcgeeks before i switched over to no2chems 6.1 rom. I'd link the page but the sites down. Im sure its here if you search for it

http://rapidshare.com/files/92073733/eLiAs_WM6.1_PIE.CAB.html

Whats Diff Between Pie 6 And Pie 6.1?

A few viewing options If I remember right.
I installed this cab on the latest dcd rom. Now IE now longer saves favorites or history....

can upload the file again???

Yes, please upload it again.

Hey there, seems i didn't catch this one fast enough. I've been searching ppcgeeks but they don't allow searches with ANY terms under 3 symbols (6.1) thus making it impossible to find what I'm looking for.
If you could reupload that or find it here i'd appreciate it. All i've found on xda is an italien version...

I used the cab file install version on my Mogul with good results after trying to copy over original files without success. Very pleased with added browser features.

Thanks a lot dvborden!

[q] upgrading manila from 1.3 to 2.5

You can't get new Manila (Sense 2.5) just like that.
You have to flash new ROM...

If you have the manilla cab, you cant install that over sense. either flash to a sense rom, or flash to clean rom then install your cab. i recommend the first.
Also no disrespect to devs, but i find sense 2.5 slow on the touch HD. why not try out 2.1 which was designed for 528mhz. it is very similiar.

As said before me, you cannot change to a new manila by simply using a cab, you need to flash a rom with your desired manila on it. Use the Dummies Guide (sticky at top of forum) for step-by-step guide on how to flash a rom.
