The Best Configuration for the Magician with Chinese Support - JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General

Somebody asked me about this through pm.
My advice is to:
- upgrade to the newest shipped English CE ROM (O2 1.11 or JAM 1.12)
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Magician/
- change it to BigStorage (Two-byte method)

- upgrade the radio to 1.13 (newest)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=25465&highlight=
- install ROS Chinese support and HWPenCE
http://www.pdabase.com/download/SoftView.asp?SoftID=3807
http://www.pdabase.com/download/SoftView.asp?SoftID=2635
- clean install all other programs
The rationale is as follows:
- English ROMs run faster than Chinese ROMs and have less compatibility issues for softwares
(you can just upgrade the CE ROM, i.e. nk.nbf, by renaming the Extended ROM ms.nbf and the radio rom radio.nbf)
- It is now very safe to use the Direct Method to get BigStorage and you can install most of your softwares to Storage
- The newest radio ROM 1.13 is by far the best and the most stable
- ROS Chinese supports both Traditional and Simplified Chinese, and occupies the least memory. It supports SMS in Chinese even better than Chinese ROMs
- HWPenCE is similar to and even better than the Hand Recognition built into Chinese ROMs
- It is more reliable to reinstall the programs after upgrade, unless you are familiar with the advanced features of Sprite Backup, in particular their add-on utility for ROM upgrades

latest magician ship file

nubie here. first post. exiting .
would any of you magician wizz kids out there tell me where I can find the latest magician ship file that is for the O2? I have looked in the ftp's and looked for the ship which basicalled had the highest number and ended in wwe (iam australian) but the QTEC spalsh screen apeared when i flashed my rom with it.
Call me a neat freak but i want my os to match the maker (o2).
put simply - i need the latest 02 operating sys.
this is the current ship file iv put on o2asia_11100_922_11100_ship. (the only reason i found this was because it said 'o2asia' in the file name)
Please direct me if there is anyer virsion.
thanks and i hope iv made sense in what i just said :roll:
The whole ROM consists of 3 parts. The OS, Radio, and Extended ROM. The OS and Radio ROMs are generic and what makes a unit unique is the customizations within the Extended ROM.
If you perform the BigStorage hack, you can install ROM 1.13 which includes Radio 1.12 (there's a stand-alone Radio 1.13 though), then install only the Extended ROM customizations you feel is usefull for you.
I suggest you check-out also the File System Tweak by "nonentity".
Before you proceed, please go through this forum as there's tons of usefull information which includes Registry Tweaks, UI enhancements, recommended software, etc.
Cheers and all the best with your new gadget.

Chinese version

Hi dear all,
My name jojoe, from Singapore...
Previously using 2nd hand 02mini, it come with chinese input version...
I had just got my very new Atom, reliase it can't read or input chinese..
Anyone know why it does not support chinese?
Anyway to install to view & input chinese ?
You'll have to flash it with a Chinese rom. OR else you have to download a chinese input method that is like a plugin for english ROM. However, I haven't got any working so far.
E.g. you can try something like this

UPDATE: try this too?

Just install CE Star 2.8 for WM5, from it you can input and read CHT or CHS. It works well With Atom.
CE STAR is a Chinese plug-in ,it can display Chinese.
i think the best way is to update your Rom to CHS or CHT rom.
If u know Chinese,maybe u can find it at http://www.pdafans.com
i have ce 2.8 ,but how to install with the atom ?
Here you are the instructions which copy from others forums.
1、解压后找到以下两个包(取自己所需)
- System Big5.cab 繁中用
- System GBK.cab 简体用
安装好后,不要做任何动作,接着安装输入法包(下面的包喜欢哪个选哪个吧,呵呵)
本包包含的输入法
- Zhuyin注音.cab
- Pinyin拼音.cab
- ChaJei倉頡.cab
- Jianyi速成.cab
- Yuepin粵拼.cab
- Penpower蒙恬Big5.cab
- Penpower蒙恬GBK.cab
2、输入法安装完成后,
到 Start -> Programs -> CE-Star -> 按 Install 点OK后自动 Reset , 安裝便完成.

How can I make the interface of a Magician Dutch?

How can I make the interface of a Magician Dutch? Where can I download a changer of the interface or a Dutch ROM?
Use a Dutch Extended ROM.
Where can I download Dutch Extended ROM? Do letters NL mean Holland?
Here's the link. ftp://xda:[email protected]/Magician/Shipped_ROMS/NL_11300_131_11200.exe
I tried this ROM, but the interface wth this ROM is English, only Dutch typing is available.
What I know is that the Main OS is English but the Ext ROM is Dutch, and when I installed this ROM in the normal way in order to generate a ROM for BS, everything was in Dutch.

What does BS mean?
BS stands for BigStorage ROM. When installing the ROM in the normal way, a certain amount (I can't remember the exact figure but is quite big) is reserved for the Ext ROM which one has no access to. The Ext ROM programs don't use up all this memory space. By installing a BS ROM, the Ext ROM portion becomes accessible and can be used as a non-volatile RAM to install whatever 3rd party software needed. Secondly, one can do away with what one could consider as useless customization software. In my case I don't use MMS so I didn't install it.

update from wm6.0 to wm6.1 - easy

hi,
today i test the bepe 0.66 german wm 6.1
1.) before i made a backup of my full system.
2.) dump my old german rom for reverse chance
3.) then i upgrade the rom from bepe 0.66 german wm6.1
4.) (and now the funny part ...) i restored my system from the old wm6.0 so that i waste a lot of time to install ~100 programms and a lot of reg hacks
-> and its working almost perfect.
but it was not really good, i think, and so it is better to install it brand new all apps.

[Q] qtek s110 - help with changing rom

Hello ! I need your help with changing rom in my qtek s110. I bought that device two days ago, it have french rom and I want to change it for english one. I want to ask you with what should I start ? It will be the very first rom change, so I don't know if I should do something before running instalation of the new rom, or just start it without checking anything or instaling other programs before the rom ? Thank you for all answers !
If you want a stock rom, get one here (USA or WWE = english):
http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=windows mobile&model=Magician
Extract the *.exe with Winrar and replace the Romupgrade.exe with MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe, execute it, and follow the instructions.
Or get one of Cotullas ROMs (Follow the instruchtions mentioned in the thread). It's a little bit buggy and the camera may not work (depends on version you chose) but it's WM6/6.5
Personally I believe that you should start with Cotulla's WWE 03. That will give you a stable WM6.1 and the instructions are in the post, and also cotulla's homepage.
It also has camera if you needed it for anything. From there you can decide whether you want to goto newer versions or if you are happy with 03.
