In the update below for the MDA vario 2 from wm5 to wm6, can someone confirm if it is the proper T-mobile rom and it has all the same settings as the wm5 one for things like Web and walk etc...as i dont want my phone to turn into a paper weight lol also can someone tell me if there is windows live messenger installed as well or is it hidden in the programs section and will have to make a shortcut to the today screen???

Hi guys.
I'm new here, but that won't matter.
I'm new to this entire phone area. I ordered a Cingular 8125, and is due on Monday. I've been using those "free with contract" phones for a while now, and I thought I would like a change in pace.
But the problem is, I know nothing at all about the Cingular 8125, so I have a few questions.
I have a Cingular SIM, as I am a customer of Cingular, but I'm buying the phone seperately, so do I have to get it unlocked?
What are some applications to use on it?
What is all of this talk about AKU2 i-mate, etc about?
And anything important you would like me to know...
Thanks guys, I appreciate it. ^_^
you dont need it unlocked if you use a cingular sim. They won't give it to you unlocked, but you can use a program called lokiwiz or awizard to do it if you want to. search the forums for downloads.
Aku2 is an update that adds push e-mail and stereo bluetooth support. imate is just the name of a company that rebrands these phones.
applications you need: omapclock, wm5newmenu, smartskey, RegistryWizard and Total commander
i also suggest a today screen shortcut launcher and a program that makes the X button actually close programs instead of minimize them. i use spb pocket plus for this, but there are free alternatives.
Opera has a great internet browser for ppc and an excellent java based mini version. I suggest both of those
Get TCPMP for movies and I like Mortplayer for mp3's
Thanks.
Where can I find these programs?
google.com, your local pirate for the rest
Thanks ^_^
Also, which ROM update should I use? I see a lot after I searched..
I just upgraded from Tmobile MDA to the latest ROM, and my problems have all but vanished. Radio now picks up Wifi much quicker etc:
K-JAM_WWE_216901_2169101_020710_ship.zip
Thanks, does it matter which model you have? Cingular 8125, T-Mobile MDA, etc?
Pondering the leap myself...

Did you have problems with the settings or anything? Once you managed the install, how complicated was it? Did you edit the extended ROM? How much storage did you have after the install?
Hi Guys,
I got my Universal [O2 XDA Exec] today, its a replacement for my old Ipaq H5550. So far i'm very impressed with the PPC side of it. But totally lost with the phone side
One of the things i've already discovered is its not locked to O2, and i've already tested it with my Orange PAYG sim. Which is the reason for this post.
Is there a way to use the O2 settings/servers to daytime [work] use, and the Orange settings/servers for night [playtime] ?
I don't need a one button solution, i don't mind getting a little messy.
if you can extract the cab files for operator settings fro the orange and o2 extended rom and save them as read only on your device you could just run the one you want to use and soft reset.
Hi Midget_1990,
Damn, that was quick.
I'll over to the FTP site and have a play.
Thanks.
OK, had a look in the Ext ROM folders, but theres no clues in their names, and I don't know enough about CAB's to pull them apart.
I did find a thread explaining what the CAB's in the O2 Ext ROM do, and a modified CAB with just the O2 settings, [Thanks Dingo].
Can anyone tell me if someone has made a simular CAB for the Orange settings, or which CAB's in the Orange Ext ROM the settings are in ?
Thanks Guys.
i've had chance to play with v1605 in Vodafone UK shop and i've noticed that vodafone has ripped off default Windows Mobile Today plugins, such as calendar, todo list, owner information etc. personally i really think it's crap thing to do, but is there any way to get them back? some reghack or maybe installing them from some .cab? anyone who using vodafone's Hermes/TyTN found way to do it?
btw, the model which i played with, had S/N HT626 and in fact some keys on sliding keyboard needed more pressure to make them work. other interesing news - it was unlocked! my Virgin Mobile SIM card worked fine.
Try this...

thanks, however since i have MDA Vario II with all standard plugins present, i don't need that solution any more. but maybe someone else will find it useful.
I have the exec jasjar and am wondering if I can add that nifty little menu on the left side of my today screen like on the M5000?
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
Without installing that operator plug, you can use pocket Breeze, making the same think...and much...
?
Do you know where I can get that operator plug?
You're probably thinking of the orange operator plugin. You need to check your extended rom for something like eg hermes_uk_build_93_clock.cab (at least on my hermes).
But the plugin is distributed on this forum repackaged.

That side menu reduces features compared to Windows original today menu. Dang I like the Windows Media player on the front screen in minimized position ^^. That side menu is good for managing contacts and making a quick phone call. But I dont think you will be able to use it in future ROM's.
I searched and cant find it either on the forum or in the ext rom, can you point me in the right direction?
Hi all,
i've got a spare hermes around and i flashed it with tai_sw's newest rom.
i've put in a 3 pay as you go sim card in hope i can surf their page at least on my hermes. i know for a fact that even with no credit you can surf their webpage as much as you like using a 3 phone.
is this possible with a hermes?
what is the url?
i use to be on 3 and the url was mobile.three.co.uk/hp/singleurl but it doesnt work anymore.
thanks in advance,
jason
anybody please?
You might need to change the IE user agent to pretend you are a 3 phone (not a Hermes). There should be a cab called Identify N95 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=366197 for more info
cheers cyfireglo,
do you know which cab i should use if i am running a windows 6.5 rom by Tai_sw?
ok that cab doesnt work on win 6.5 rom unfortunately
Hi all,
Sub69 has kindly made an update for win6.5 to tweak the phone to identify itself as a N95.
