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

XDA-developers ROM v1.1 installer
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,
..lance

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
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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

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).

I can't add city on htc home (dual touch-Niki)

Hallo. I write this post because all guide faqs and post search on internet don't work.
I want to add city on my htc dual touch, but i try a lot of settings, and all setting don't work. I have ROM (niki project v.2.1.3).
1: i have change the xml file with my location city; (OK)
2: when try to download information......don't work;
3: i try to replace htchome.dll with che same what search information on another server...don't work (now all cities don't work)
4: i have found a little guide, but when ask me to install cerfiticates i can't install.
Now, it's a lot of days that search on internet but don't found the really metod to add cities on my htc home, and now, afther change htchome.dll any cities don't are found...
There are a person can help me...please...
very very thank's, an sorry for my englis (i my italian).
Marco.

You can add only a few cities, there is a list (i am not sure where, if at accuweather or at htc), with the cities included. It's because an agreement between HTC and Accuweather.

Realy??!?!?!?
But on the internet there are some people with other cities on our niki.
i can't understand what i wrong....
where are some guide for patch, or cab install for resolve this question?
Thank's

can u tell me where your city is? let me try on my nike, if i could find it there, it means u should also can find it on your device

To find yout your city code just go to: http://www.accuweather.com/includes/ajax-functions/favoriteCities.asp?region=EUR&country=UK
Change the end of the link to your country (US users only need a 5-digit area code), PT=Portugal, UK=london, etc...
...OR, just click in http://www.accuweather.com , then in the international tab search for 'city, country', and it shows the code in the address link...
With resco exploer or whatever search for a file named H*.xml inside your windows folder.
Open it with notes and add your own city code.
Reset, choose the city on the HTC home plugin and your done.

Ok....but there are the same pass, that i try from one week.
for exsample.my city is:
Montecatini terme - Pistoia - ITALIA
Now on http://www.accuweather.com/ is:
http://www.accuweather.com/world-in...r&locCode=EUR|IT|IT016|MONTECATINI TERME|&u=1
Hence:
<city name="Montecatini terme, IT" loca="EUR|IT|IT016|MONTECATINI TERME" land="Italia" />
And edit, with notepad with file
\Windows\HH_0410_WeatherCities.xml
it's correct?

it appears so, is it not working?

no and dont know what is the cause!
if i dont replace the dll all entry work ,but my city no
if i replace htchome.dll all cities dont work
i cant understand why dont work AND there is a solution!!!

dll? i didnt mentioned any dll...

in some post on internet i have found a guides. On these guides there are wrote that's necessary change HTCHome.dll beause the original search weather information in a wrong server ( for the new cities add ). it's all.
i you search on google "add cities on htc home" there are many post but are all wrong :-( :-(, and i cant understand what it's my problems.
thanks.

Just install the latest version of htc home, the one with a skin chooser.

Very very thank's.
ps: one question, a few O.T. can i connect with gprs my home lan with vpn without install other software, but only with OS.thanks.
Marco.

As I said, if I'm wrong, please, let me know, cause I want to put another cities in my Niki, you can only see the weather of a certain cities, not all in accuweather, only the ones that are in a dedicated server htc.accuweather.com, i'm gonna search the list and if I find it i will post it.
Sorry

Did you install the latest Opera build? I had this problem after installing (and removing) it. I opened the accuweather widget that came along with it and after that updates got stuck.
I don't know if this is the problem, but it happened just after this.

Go to connections & edit your main connection to ensure the "this connection uses a proxy" check box is unchecked. It gives some isses for me until I disable the proxy, then all is fine.

Re: Manilla 2D - weather update problem
Hiya folks.
Well, I had the same issue when I loaded Manilla2D v19a. To solve the problem, do the following:
1. Unzip the attached file.
2. Copy the file over your manilla2d.exe file located in the device \windows directory.
3. Reset your phone.
I did not have any issues with other functions after copying the file over my manilla2d.exe file, but to be sure, backup your original file before doing the above steps.
For those of you that do not have your city listed, edit the HH_0409_WeatherCities.xmlfile located in your device \windows directory. Just use one of the listed cities in your county as a template to add your city. After a restart, your city should be listed.
I hope this helps all of you.

I do not think you can do this to fix a cooked ROM due to the files being in the ROM. Just try to copy the file over your manilla2d.exe file and see if it will copy over it. If not, then no, but if it does, then it will also fix your problem.

It worked for me in a cooked ROM of ttran01!

This fix don´t work on prophet... :-(
Manilla don´t open... will be any solution????
Thanks in advance

sorry, duplicated :-(

Date long and add a town

Hello all,
I've been searching for a while, even in this forum, but dont find any solutions concerning these two issues:
1) how can i set the date long (dddd dd mm yy) in the today page? My Diamond 2 runs the original French rom, wm 6.5.
2) I ve found a lot of solutions on the Internet to add a town, but no one works, and most of the time i must hard reset the device. HTC Sense doesnt start again. Softs like Weather Database Editor for example make HTC Sense not working and doesnt even add the town i entered...
If someone knows the right way to do so, i would be grateful
Thanks in advance

I confirm it works perfectly with both WM6.1 and WM6.5, just follow the instructions carefully..if you have any problem you can PM me, tell me the city you want to add and I'll make the manila file for you.

Thanks to both of you. I've already tried this method but it didnt work. As i said in my first post, each time i install "Weather Database Editor", it makes my HTC Sense unable to launch. I'll try one more time... but i almost sure i'll must hard-reset...
It would be kind of you Superman122 - sorry, Sualc - if you could make it for me. The town i want to add is Valence, in France, and the AccuWeather code is : EUR|FR|FR022|VALENCE
Thanks again!

Hope it helps you

Valence (FR) weather Added
@ Siber:
Here's your city weather on manila!! (see attached screenshot)
I made a .cab file so that you don't need to install Weather Database Editor anymore,by the way this may interest everyone..
ATTENTION:Since I have an italian ROM, the modified manila file I'm posting contains country names in italian, if that causes any problem or simply you don't like it, please post your manila file and I'll work on it. You can try the one I posted just for the fun of it but BACKUP your manila file first!
Ciaociao

Thank you sualc for your help,
Is there an easy way I can edit the files you posted to add a couple of cities to my TD?
EUR|CH|SZ021|LUGANO|
EUR|IT|IT009|COMO|
Saluti,
Filippo

Lugano (CH) and Como (IT) ADDED
The easy way is to install the .cab I posted above and then manually add your cities using SQLLiteAdmin. If you have an italian ROM you can modify the manila file in previous post, you could edit the "Valence" line (if not interested in..) and any another city you're sure you're never go to .
I am being very brief because I assume you read the "official" instructions, if you have any problems,PM me
EDIT: Well, Since It's almost Xmas and I feel Santa Sualc, i modified the manila file for you, but remeber to install AddCityWeather.cab aswell!!(AGAIN: this file is certified to work in an italian ROM, if something goes wrong I will need you ORIGINAL manila file)
P.S: It's really stupid not to put those cities by default, ok they're not enormous cities like Tokio but they are regional Capitals in their respective countries..

Sulac, you are the best! it works great!
Yes, countries are in italian in the list, but it doesnt matter. Thanks again!

No prob,mate..But seriously, if you want a nice&neat work,just post your manila

Hi koen-ronse and thanks... but i dont find "TouchFLO 3D" in the settings. Are you talking about HTC Diamond 2?

He's not online at the moment, I think I can answer for him:
Advanced config is an application that you have to download and install (google for it), then follow his instructions

Sualc, i didnt want to bother to much, but since you tell me, i post my manila file
Thanks also for the answer about the advanced config!

Here you go, Valence in french database.

Sualc, thanks for your help, and your fast reply!
@ koen-ronse, thanks also, i found the soft "Advanced Settings" and it allowed me to do exactly what i wanted.
It's nice to see there are always people ready to help when needed.

Thanks Sulac,
I can confirm that it works perfectly on my Italian ROM
You are very nice!!!
