What do all the CABs in the O2 XDA Exec Ext ROM do?

Hi,
After deciding to follow dingo's advice and do a vanilla install then install the cabs you need from the Ext ROM on the ftp, then install his great O2 Active cab that just installs connection settings, I realised I wasn't anywhere near 100% as to what each of the CABs did. I have listed the config.txt below and what I think each CAB does, but if anyone can fill in the gaps I would be very grateful, and it might make a useful wiki addition.
CAB:\Extended_ROM\Signed_SSD_BTUR_Patch_For_BT_Cannot_Initial.sa.CAB: \Extended_ROM\Signed_SSD_Shortcut_WWE.sa.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\Signed_UNI_o2UK_PortalKey.sa.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\Signed_UNI_o2UK_UAProf.sa.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\Signed_UNI_o2UK_VoiceMail.sa.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\Signed_UNI_o2UK_Customize.sa.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\Signed_UNI_Remove_BatteryIcon.sa.CAB - Removes default battery icon from the system tray- why??????
CAB: \Extended_ROM\Signed_UNI_PictureEnhancement_reg.sa.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\Signed_Version.sa.CAB - does this give the Ext ROM version?
CAB: \Extended_ROM\CAB-Customization-O2UK-Universal.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\Signed_MoveO2Tone.sa.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\CAB-Shortcut-O2UK-22Aug05.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\Enable_VT_RTPlugin_0727_2_signed.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\VT_DisableOK_O2_0830_signed.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\signed_UNI_o2AUI4_build76.CAB - O2 Active installation CAB

Signed_UNI_o2UK_PortalKey.sa.CAB
This adds a registry entry for PieHomePage = pda.o2.co.uk
Resulting in pda.o2.co.uk loading when you open PIE. Wasting your GPRS/3G bandwidth unless Wifi or USb connected etc.
Signed_SSD_BTUR_Patch_For_BT_Cannot_Initial.sa.CAB
This installs Serial_BTUR.dll. I assume this is required and is to fix a BT bug judging by the name.
signed_UNI_o2AUI4_build76.CAB
This is the one to steer clear off if you do not want all the O2 Active stuff. The only downside is you do not get your settings which is why i made the CAB with only the Connection Settings App in it.
Signed_UNI_o2UK_VoiceMail.sa.CAB
This sets your Voicemail number to 901.
Signed_UNI_Remove_BatteryIcon.sa.CAB
Yes you are correct it simply removes the battery icon. The reason being they install their own battery app with the Active software. I use this to remove mine as i don't like it there and i use another third party app which includes a battery indicator.
Signed_Version.sa.CAB
Yes again correct. This sets the ExtROM version in the device information.
Signed_UNI_PictureEnhancement_reg.sa.CAB
This enters some registry entries via a XML file. I am not 100% what Picture it is supposed to enhance. The Entries are

The default, out-of-the-box Microsoft alternative, however, is www.yahoo.com so there's no advantage or disadvantage in applying that CAB to the system. I still edit the registry to change the default action to about:blank cos it's useful to be able to press a HW button to end my browsing with a page that I know is not going to call up GPRS while I'm not watching.
Lurking on these forums somewhere is a .reg file that can be applied to the system (using a registry editor like TRE) that sets this key for you, and you can edit the URL to whatever you want. I've attached mine in case anybody else wants the about:blank option.
Getting back to the OT, I just did a hard reset and then a selective install of the ExtROM CAB files, and the only ones I installed were:
CAB:\Extended_ROM\Signed_SSD_BTUR_Patch_For_BT_Cannot_Initial.sa.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\Signed_UNI_Remove_BatteryIcon.sa.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\Signed_UNI_PictureEnhancement_reg.sa.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\Signed_SSD_Shortcut_WWE.sa.CAB
...and my Exec is running perfectly, with loads of available storage space and all the important functionality. I chose CABs that didn't have O2 in the title. The rest is just O2 fannying around with the system for their own nefarious purposes, I think. They just want you to remember that you're their *****! Of course, I needed to install Dingo's perfect connections CAB as well (thanks Dingo!).
The only thing I missed out of the O2 Active interface was their Task Manager, but I copied the .exe for this out of the system before I did the hard reset and it works fine as a standalone app on my new clean machine.

I didn't install any cabs and feel naked <shiver>
I guess it's only the picture enhancement and bluetooth cab I'm missing out on: if I was naked, picture enhancement might come in handy...

He I forgot about that. Yep i just edit the registry to remove it as that is even more bloaty than the O2 one. I might just make a cab for that too as not everyone will be able to import a reg file.
anyway a few more files and what they are doing.
Signed_SSD_Shortcut_WWE.sa.CAB
This makes links for Sim Manager & Enroller
CAB-Shortcut-O2UK-22Aug05.CAB
This makes links to sddaemon, MIDlet Manager & Voice Speed Dial. It also if i am correct adds MMS functionality into outlook. No software is installed it just sets up the link for the MMS etc.

This one installs O2_tone.wma, o2_video.wmv, default.htm & O2.gif. Then it sets the Time Zone to GMT London,Dublin, Sets the O2 Tone to the default ring and puts the default.htm in the windows directory.
Signed_UNI_o2UK_UAProf.sa.CAB

Ok i think thats all of them. My current test at the moment is running all of the cab files except the stock signed_UNI_o2AUI4_build76.CAB. I have built a CAB with just the Active stuff missing from this. So it installed the skins etc as i quite like the phone skin.
So far it has been very stable. So i think it is just the Active stuff that causes the problems. On my next Hard Reset i think i will do the same but just leave out a few of the CABs.

I quite liked the look of the O2 phone skin as well, but the default MS one works much much better when the Exec is in true VGA mode. Plus, O2 overwrite the 'Call History' button (above the Talk button) with their hardly-ever-used-because-there's-no-3G-signal Video Call button.
The only functionality that seems to be missing from the Phone after I left off all the O2 CABs is the smart dialling. If I tap the 'Menu' soft-button I can choose the 'Smart Dialling Options...' item, but nothing happens. Considering this 'feature' was a waste of time anyway, I don't miss it at all, but others might. It was pointless because you could only press numbers keys to find your contacts. Perhaps HTC/O2 didn't notice that the goddamn Exec has a full bloody keyboard with which I could have typed letters too! :evil: :roll:
So now I'm waiting for Mamaich to develop his WM5-compatible version of his contact-finder. That will be awesome! 8)

Wow!
I didn't expect anywhere near as comprehensive a bunch of replies! Thanks guys so much, that cab
CAB-Shortcut-O2UK-22Aug05.CAB looks like it might be the reason I am not getting MMS working after a vanilla install and running dingo's wonderful cab. Will check it out tonight!
Thanks again

(Medium-term lurker first time poster)
Having read this forum for about a month now I decided to do the o2 corporate install on my Exec for performance issues. I've just ported my number over and noticed that MMS wasn't working (It would only download the first 25k of a message). I put it down to the number porting (MMS wasn't enabled on all o2 systems for my account originally so assumed they'd cocked up again).
I rang data support today to find out what was going on, we went through the settings etc and as a last resort the guy said lets do a hard reset. Reluctantly I agreed, as I had everything running smoothly etc. He told me to install the personal setup. Naturally I said look I don't want all this bloatware can we go with the corporate one. He confessed that he didn't have much experience with the Exec but had found on previous XDAs that if you do a corporate install it doesn't install all the necessary MMS settings/executables.
Lo and behold MMS works perefectly now. So long post cut short ;-) Yes there is something in the extended rom which enables MMS. The question is can we isolate it so that we can have performance AND functionality?
Final point: I've spoken to 2 different people in data support and about 20 C/S monkeys. The C/S guys really could learn a trick or two from the 'techies' about C/S, as they've been spot on all the way through.

eyebeebe:
Correct in corporate mode you will not have your MMS settings or any other connection settings. This was why i put together the CAB file that is refered to above. The one that sets up your O2 connection settings only. This does set up the MMS server settings aswell but to add the MMS functionality into outlook you also need the shortcut cab Findus mentions above.
I am not sure exactly what out of the extended rom is or is not installed with a corporate install as i have not explored it yet. I prefer to soft reset before any of that is installed and start off with a vanilla install of WM5.
The reason for listing all the CAB files and what we can determine they do is so people can make an informed choice as to what they install. This method is more complicated but can go a long way to setting your device up to have it running the best you can.
I think basic mode will install most of the extended ROM but just leave off the Active UI stuff. This might be of better use to you. Again i have not really looked to much into that either so i can not say what exactly is or is not installed though.
Hope this helps.

ROFL, i know exactly what you mean about the 3G, what a great name for that button. I am right on the edge of 3G cover and it is a bit annoying for data connection as i keep swapping networks. I find it best to just fix to the GSM network in the phone settings.
I just checked the phone app and i have both "hardly-ever-used-because-there's-no-3G-signal Video Call button" and Call History. They are both stuck between Talk and Speed Dial

Dingo:
I'd seen your CAB and I must say it looked very useful but I'd already installed the corporate version and setup my data settings when it was first posted.
Regarding which install to use I've tried each of the three options and let them run through to the end. The corporate one is by far the quickest and leanest version in my subjective opinion. The corporate install does integrate the MMS box with Outlook. Unfortunately that wasn't the problem I was having.
In both instances (when I first got the phone and had the basic installation and recently with the corporate install) The phone would appear to upload/download the first 25K of any MMS. All other data services were functioning perfectly.

Originally having been thouugh all the settings for MMS, My ISP and My Work Network the Data Support worker went away for a couple of hours gave me a call back and asked me to try sending receiving again and it worked fine. He told that Not all of the systems at O2 are integrated and apparently my account hadn't been enabled properly one one of them.
Yesterday I was told that the systems fault above can't have been the problem. We tried changed a few of the settings (port from 8080 to 9002 etc) and eventually decided on a hard reset. I now have a slow Exec with working MMS, which isn't an essential feature tbh but has its uses.
Having thought about it some more I'm wondering whether it is a 3rd party app which was conflicting and it's actually a clean install which has fixed everything. I shall experiment over the weekend with various clean installs and the CABS in the ext. ROM and report back.

Hi,
I did a vanilla install and installed the non o2 cabs, plus CAB_Shortcut_o2UK_22Aug05.CAB
Enable_VT_RTPlugin_0727_2_signed.CAB
VT_DisableOK_O2_0830_signed.CAB
Plus dingo's great connections cab. I had to install the 2 VT cabs to enable video calling ( crappy gimmick i know but i like to show my mates what video calling looks like!!!) MMS now works perfectly along with everything else and I have over 29 Mb Program memory after a soft reset! Brilliant!
Thanks guys,
Fin

eyebeebe:
Thanks for the info. Its good to know corporate installs the essential CABs too. The one cause for concern though is it may also install the active stuff but just not set it up for running.
I really wish sprite would hurry up with their backup software. It makes life a lot easier when constantly hard resetting etc. I could then make a backup of my nice working system and once i finsish testing restore that backup.
Sorry you can not get MMS working other than a full install. Hopefully it was just a glitch or as you say 3rd party soft. It will be good to hear the results of your testing.
Findus:
Good News, glad to hear your running ok & and hopefully a lot smoother.
There is a great little file browser called total commander that will allow you to view your Extended ROM. Really good if you need to access any of your non installed cabs when your on the move. There is a post here somewhere that links to it. Just type Extended_ROM in the space and they will appear. Unfortunatly it will not let you manipulate any of them just run them.

Sorry for being a newbie.
But can someone tell me what .cab should I install in other for my O2 Exec works free of bug(hopefully)? (I'm not on O2 contract so I think I don't need O2 Active on mine)
I just got the Exec today, that's why I'm looking around for info to get start with my toy, I think I will go for the Corporate room, do you guys have any suggestions?
Thanks any reply,
Cheers,
P.s: and also where I can download the .cab files as well, thanks a lot.

Would someone mind clarifying for me... I should be receiving my exec tomorrow, will install into corp. mode, and install this CAB by Dingo for communications settings...
Will this then make everythign work, i.e. Bluetooth, MMS, video calling etc etc so that I get full functionality of the phone, but without the O2 active software installed?
Thanks, and sorry for being thick

hi mate
are you getting the exec on o2
I have a uk exec and have flashed various roms and tried many installs I think I have found what works.. I can send you all the cab files you need top run,, however I am trying to create the extended rom which will be the easiest way. If I get the answers I wil create it and you can have it.
It then will be in personal install without all the o2 crap and it is by far the fastest I have seen one of these things run
If I can help please ask
Magpie

anyone created a custom extended rom for exec catering towards vodafone sims?
If anyone has, can I have a copy?

Any news on extended ROM for Exec on o2?
I am a newbie to all this and I'd love a plain vanilla install that just worked, as mine is running like a dog at the moment and I have nothing installed!
Thanks for everyone's help and support.

Does anyone know if the cabs on the ftp have been updated with the new O2 v1.13.188 ROM?

HTC sound equalizer not working with BT headset

When I try to use the sound equalizer it just says I have to connect a headset - but I have a BT headset connected!!!
Is there any registry hack to make it work with BT Headsets and not just usb ones?
Does anyone else have this problem?

We talk about HTC Audiobooster?
It only works with the HTC Kabel Headset! It doesnt work with Blue Tooth devices :->

Well that sucks!

I've had the same problem - very irritating.
however, look up and download SRS WOW HD - install, reboot the phone.
The Audio Booster disappears from the HTC Music Player, and you have a settings option for the SRS WOW HD. It does take a bit of processor time, and a fair bit of tweaking of its options, but it does make the Dual sound quite nice.
Shame about the occasional "break" in the music though.

THis Programm work ONLY with the Kabel Headset!!!

Does SRS WOW HD work with bluetooth headsets?

Yes it does, but you need Edit your Registry, too support your Blue Tooth driver.
Here a Copy from a Thread about this task:
That worked through BT headset it is necessary to copy all parameters from [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\Wave Dev] in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\BtA2dpSnd
Except for value of parameter "OldDriver", he should be such, as was "DLL"
For example:
Before
"DLL" = "bta2dp.dll"
After
"DLL" = "WOWHD_ARM_WCE_PPC2005_Driver.dll"
"OldDriver" = "bta2dp.dll"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=355913&page=3
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=357071
To have real stereo with your bluetooth stereo headphone you have to change the following registry key:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\A2DP\Settings
Change the UseJointStereo value 1 to 0.
The value 1 means dual mono, value 0 means stereo
Importent ... befor you edit ... you must 100% know what is your device blue tooth driver!!! different HTC Device ... different Drivers!

Thanks alot that worked great!

That worked through BT headset it is necessary to copy all parameters from [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\Wave Dev] in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\BtA2dpSnd
Except for value of parameter "OldDriver", he should be such, as was "DLL"
For example:
Before
"DLL" = "bta2dp.dll"
After
"DLL" = "WOWHD_ARM_WCE_PPC2005_Driver.dll"
"OldDriver" = "bta2dp.dll"

To have real stereo with your bluetooth stereo headphone you have to change the following registry key:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\A2DP\Settings
Change the UseJointStereo value 1 to 0.
The value 1 means dual mono, value 0 means stereo
I added the information above and installed the driver. I am now restarting to see if that fixes otherwise I uninstall the drive and go back to the old one.

grrrr
you doesnt understand me ... what stand in the regkeys befor you edit the settings? have you restart your device after change?

That happened to me too, needed a pesky hard reset. Can anyone explain the reg changes again?

this are the reg changes and it works! if its a big problem for the most guys, i can provide a modded version for Qualcomm Devices. i need only few min. to edit.

I did a hard reset to get my phone working again. I don't know what it was that stopped the sound on my phone but I just have to make do with standard instead

Stopped? You mean the little breaks?
Oh ... this isnt a SRS WOW problem! it is possible you tweak your device with some registry settings? Breaks in the Audiostream have many reasons. the most are ...
Buffer in the Blue Tooth Stack are to high
Buffer in the File System are to high and the MicroSD Card go in the deep power down mode (this problem can you have, if you here a very large file and a big part can stay in your ram!)
you switch to the next track (this is the most reason)
process task doesnt become enough resources (possible ... )
generel powermanagment problems
all this bracks are only timing problems of many parts in your device!!!

No, not the pauses issue that others have referred to - after installing SRS WOW and making the registry changes I had no sound at all during phone calls. Music worked fine but when I called someone or when they called me then I couldn't hear them and they couldn't hear me.
I had to hard reset to fix the problem.

Did anybody succeeded with xt7500 + srs wow over bluetooth ?
at least tried myself and at the moment no progress.
Before reg keys copy BT worked well and connected with
headset. After keys copy ppc BT menu indicted that wireless stereo are'nt
avaliable.
Is it nescessary copy over also same named settings ? example
both folders have before copy same named settings, like index, etc.
Good comments appreciated.

If you added bluetooth support to SRS and lost sound (or downloaded a cab with bluetooth support builtin) you need to follow the earlier instruction warnings, namely:
Preserve your Index, Prefix, and OldDriver settings so that they match what was previously specified in your BTA2DPSND registry folder (with the contents of olddriver matching whatever was in driver).

Low volume on a mono-handsfree...

I bought a mono HF and even with max volume its so low that it is unusable..
Any tweaks to boost the volume for HF?
Found this from the boards:

Ok well I found the solution, if someone is interested here is what you need to do :
found the solution for htc s730 and those who don't have the registry key acoustic....:
copy both files AudioPara4_FR.csv and AudioPara3.csv to PC
change the F25 line replacing 409 by 4000.
Copy files to SD card
Copy with total commander to windows directory and remplace existing...
Worked for me !
cheers.

I found similar files from the X1 and tried to change some of the values without luck.
To me it seems though that those files control all audio output levels to different kind of devices you plug on your X1...

Here are the files if someone wants to take a look.

I have this problem with the loudspeaker. It's just too low to hear, for example, Tom Tom's instructions. Would this mod affect the speaker volume too you think?

I think by finding the right values on those files, all of the different device volume values can be adjusted. I dont know about any registry tweaks, but if someone has some ideas please share...

well i posted earlier on same issues but no reply..
anybody could well help out if you knw any tweaks..even the sound calls of the ringtone is soft..

Open the files in notepad on your pc, not in excel...

is it true that X1's speaker suck and nothing can be done about it?

In Coreplayer you can select Pre-amp in the Equalizer, set hit higher to your liking.

Actually I tested this with a Nokia mono handsfree and it worked with a normal volume, so my problem has to do with the HF and not the X1...

T580 Volume Boost

Hello everyone
I'm trying to boost volume on my tablet speakers but turns out I have absolutely no idea what I am doing.
I've been messing around with mixer_gains.xml file in system/etc/ but no matter which value I enter the volume only goes down. To be honest I only tried to change "mono playback volume" and "speaker playback volume" in 'media playback volume' category.
I'm attaching .xml file for a quick look if someone is willing to help me out. This is only file that has numeric values that I suspect need to be changed, I just don't know which one's and in what category!
I'm not asking someone to do it for me, I'm willing to do it myself - changing, testing and experimenting with it, I'm only asking for someone to help me understand what I'm looking at/for!
Thank you in advance for your help

Why don't you use one of the many apps in Play Store that are made for boosting the volume? But I'd be careful not to boost it too much and blow the speakers.

Because I'm an idiot that didn't think of that - thanks, I'll try some of them out!
But I would like to learn how to do this, it would be a great thing to know how to do!
