thanks anyway
thx nice
There are some dialers available!

But Someone is making a theme which should be more perfect than this one!
Still waiting on that!
Very very nice
Just to get this clear...
Do I simply back up my other GIFs and BMPs and overwrite them with these ones?
What about the .ini file?
Sorry, now I've read the ReadMe file
But I tried to copy out my old files and can only see the bmp files in Explorer on my PC. If I ask for the folder properties, the PC knows the gifs are in there but just won't show them. Any ideas?

That's no problem, yuou need photoshop or fireworks to view gif files. Maybe paint will view them also, i don't know
davehutch, yes in order to backup your existing dialler files you just need to copy the files in your PPC "windows" folder to a desktop folder. If you don't see all the files on desktop, go in Tools -> Folder Options and make sure that "Hide Protected Operating System Files" is not ticked.
I made a backup of the files and was able to restore backto default skin by just copying the files back.
Kept the intelidialler skin though ;-) I liked that, much neater than the default.
Hello,
I have read that some people have been having a bit of trouble with customising their extended rom on the Universal. So here is my attempt at creating a guide, as a way of saying THANKS to all who helped me in these forums to create my own customised ROM's on the blue angel and my current EXEC.
First thanks mainly to Buzz for the Ext Rom Unlocker and also to BeyondTheTech for the Disable Security Cab.
Also thanks to all other members who contributed their trials and files in the thread.
IMPORTANT - DO A BACKUP BEFORE DOING THIS AS A HARD RESET IS REQUIRED!!!!
Here Goes:
This is how i did it:
1. I created a folder on the desktop called Exec, and inside i created 2 folders called Orig Rom and Cooked Rom
2. I then downloaded the following 3 files and placed them into the Exec folder.
3. i copied the unlock policies and the ext rom unlocker onto sd card and copied them to the phone.
4. i ran the unlock policies cab first then the ext rom unlocker cab
5. under programs i clicked on ext rom unlocker to execute the file
6. it then said succesful and reboot to finsh
7. once rebooted install total commander from below.
8. i then ran total commander and typed in /extended_rom (note underscore) and it displayed the contents of the exteneded rom that originally came with the phone.
9. selected it all and copied the contents to SD card.
10. if you connect your phone directly to pc then you can copy the contents directly to the 'orig rom' folder you created earlier, or use card reader to do same.
11. either way you have the contents of the ext rom on the pc. i then deleted the contents of the Extended_Rom on the phone.
12. the next steps are done on the pc.
13. copy the autorun.exe and the config.txt file from the 'orig rom' folder to the 'cooked rom' folder.
14. copy all the CAB files that you want to be installed upon hard reset into the cooked rom folder aswell.
15. copy the disable security.cab file into the 'cooked rom' folder aswell
16. you will need to rename the cab files that you want installing in the following format:
Default_Unsigned_xxxxxx.cab where xxxxxx is the name of the file
17. if the cab files have long names then just rename them!
18. if you wanted to keep some of the original cabs from your extended rom then copy these into the 'cooked' folder aswell but leave their naming system alone ie:
Signed_UNI_Remove_BatteryIcon.sa.CAB
19. once these have been named as above open the config.txt file
20. it needs to be prepared into the following format :
LOCK:Enabled
CAB: \Extended_ROM\Default_Signed_DisableSecurity.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\Default_Unsigned_tcpmp.arm_ce3.cab
CAB: \Extended_ROM\Signed_SSD_BTUR_Patch_For_BT_Cannot_Initial.sa.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\Default_Unsigned_Porta-Pinball.CAB
RST: RESET
this is an extract from my config.txt file
21. i used the existing file and amended the entries, add/deleted some of the entries.
22. note the space between Cab: \ this is important.
23. also note that the first file that i wanted to install was the disablesecurity.cab file, without this the other 'personal' cabs will not install.
24. so once you have edited and saved your config.txt files making sure all spelling is correct (also an important thing otherwise the files dont install) and no warnings are issued either! you will have in your 'cooked rom' folder:
autorun.exe
config.txt
and several cab files
25. select all the files and then 'right click' on properties.
26. select the 'read-only' option and ok
27. i found that after the first install some of the cab files delete themselves! this prevents that from happening.
28. connect your phone to the pc
29. using active-sync Explore device and navigate to the Extended_Rom folder
30. copy all the contents of your 'cooked rom' folder into the Extended_Rom folder
31. once completed, disconnect the phone and perform a hard reset.
32. after you have aligned screen and done the start-up routine it will start installing your personallised cab files.!!
33. You should now have an Exec, customised with your own extended rom and as a bonus a complete back-up on your pc.
34. if ever you upgrade the phone rom/radio etc, all the software you need and the perosnlaised rom is ready to go.
if i have missed a step plz post back and i will edit my posts and put in there.
I cannot stress how important it is that you make a backup first before doing this as you will lose everything on the phone.
Bye for now!!!
Gr8 Work!!!
hi there this is a perfect guide well done m8
only one question as i have the jasjar and i-mate rom on it
i do not have the config.txt file
how do i tell the device to install my personal/third party cab files
thanx in advance
mail attachments
Thanks for the guide, however when i use total commander, extended rom is shown with the same symbol as storage card and I cannot get the mail programme to save attachments to the real storage card as the universal thinks the extended rom is the storage card.
How can the properties of the extended rom be changed so it does not appear to be a storage card ?
Thanks
Steve

I just renamed the required cab file by adding "Default_" to it. That did it.
Thanks
But I have been through the thread numerous time.
The mail programme thinks the extended rom is the storage card.
The thread has a fix to hide the extended rom so the mail programme now saves attachements onto the real storage card.
It just seems a shame to have gone to all the trouble to unlock and make visisble the extended rom, just to hide it again so the mail programme can save onto the real storage card.
Am I missing something. Simple guidance PLEASE.

When the hard reset is done the whole point is for the Extended Rom to be hidden again. This ensures that at any point in the future if a hard-reset is required then the phone is setup agian as you want it.
At the moment the Extended_rom partitrion cannot be used as a storage space , and i believe Buzz is working on that.
So my guide illustrates deleting existing rom, and replacing with personalised rom and then hiding it agian.
Above this thread is a link to Buzz's small tutorial to alllow attachemnts to be saved back to storage card instead of the Extended Rom for those who want to leave it Un-Hid.
Regarding those without a config.txt file then renaming everything to Default_xxxxx.cab does the trick.
thanks
This is a GREAT thread. Hats off to you.
Personally, I think I'm going to add the T-Mobile USA Internet Settings cab to "cooked" stuff (I'm in the US).
Does anyone have a cab that will set up the gmail pop settings (w/ generic un/pass of course)? Lazy, yes, but I'm just trying to make any refresh that I would ever need to do that much simpler
i have another question as we have a lot of good registry tweaks....
is it really that hard to create cab files for those registry settings and just throw those in the extRom
regards

my problem is that in wm5.0 there is no config.txt file to tell the os what to install from the ext rom, i unlocked the ext rom and moved all contents to pc, i also deleted all the existing files from it, and i have all my cabs ready, but the problem is how to tell the installer to take these cabs instead of the origionals?
does it take it automatically, or should i do something to make it install my personalised ext rom?

If you dont have a config.txt file then you need to rename your cab files in the following format:
Default_xxxxxx.cab where xxxxx is the name of your file. this has been found to work in your phone.
thanks

this worked just fine.
cheers

Hi Guys;
I've searched many times for a player that plays .rm and .ram files, but couldn't find it TCMP can't play these files, can anyone give me a link where to download or purchase this player ???
thank you in advance.
Tried this?
http://www.realnetworks.com/industries/serviceproviders/mobile/products/player/index.html
are u sure?
thanx for your help; but does it support windows mobile 5 ? I'm afraid of taking risk to install it !!! need a quick reply plzzz.
I adwise you to make a backup before installing. Make a backup with Sunnysoft Backup Manager or other available software.
I've tried. Works well on WM5.
Default setup is bad. you need to extract cab file in temp.
I've joined the default cab.
Martinlbb
thank you buddy ..
Thanx alot; i've extracted your .cab file into TEMP folder on my device, then i've tapped on it to install the cool real one player; i'm happy with it ..
Re: thank you buddy ..
Wow.. Cool stuff..Thanks for sharing, Just got it installed on my Wizard.
Take a little longer to reboot. Able to run the RealOne player now..
Need to try some big files to checkout the performance.
For those who don't know how to extract the .cab file..You can do a search in google like me.. :roll: ..................... or try this :lol: ...
1) Start -> Run -> %temp% , to open the temp folder
2) run the xxxx.exe file, a new folder will generate in the temp folder.
3) copy the realplayer.cab inside the new folder into your ppc and install it.
Have fun..
Ops.. did not see the attachment until i login..
I got it, and also learn how to extract the cab file. thanks a lot. have fun.
Does anyone know were to get some camera themes for the wizard
and also how to install them
Here's some that I have. Just unzip the file and copy them to the phone's Templates folder.
Thanks
WOW
thank you very much they look great
On the Topaz forum i found:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=526792
works great on Rhodium too!
thanks a ton, works great and looks wonderful
nice find....thanks
Full color icons
I changed the files and managed to obtain FULL COLOR icons.
Credit also obviously goes to the original creator of the files, I worked on his basis.
I hope you like it. I like it more like this.
Cheers
Paolo
Do you have some pictures?
Can't paste files
Can anyone help me?
I send the zip files to my memorycard -> unpacked them -> tried to copy them to the windows folder -> I get a message saying that I can't paste and I must check my Memory, or the file is in use.
Anyone know what i'm doing wrong?
You have to use Resco Explorer or Total Commander.
Google for them.
thanks for t help it's working now
Thanks Man will try it and provide feedback
do you save these CAB files to your storage card or phone memory?
(please hold the laughter)
I tried it and just one comment WOW...you're the king.
Replying to cabranscom, you've to install it to the phone memory not the storage card..
that is really a good one. thanks.
