O2 Xda Mini S questions

Hi Guys,
new to the forum and i have a couple of questions
1) Does anyone know how to configure rules - for free - in the pocket outlook on WM5?
2) The o2 UI is starting to grate on me now and i want to remove it in favour of a NORMAL today screen. can this be done?
thanks guys

I remove all o2 software when the machine is hard reset. You go through the usual cut/paste appointment, set time, password. Then you get 'tap screen to continue' after this you get a message which says something like ' 3 seconds until reconfigure ' ( i can't remember the message ). Within this 3 seconds BEFORE the o2 cr*p loads simply soft reset. easy. You get basic wm5.0 with no o2 bloat.
I find it really helps with general speed and especially screen rotate when pulling out the keyboard.
You will then need to set up gprs/mms settings yourself UNLESS someone knows which .cab file holds this info in the extended rom area...;-) I've tried them all - no luck.

Many thanks for that- i had a search around and found that if i remove the O2 things from \windows\startup then softreset i can uninstall the o2active rubbish and keep my settings. The speed difference is fantastic!!!
I've also installed an application called switch which has a tiny footprint and is brilliant for closing apps.
Still searching around for how to use outlook rules though
Also can anyone recommend a "desktop" style application (for free) so i can have a shortcuts tab in my today view?
thanks

@davidcollins01
can you please post the cab file that creates the o2 active ui? it is located in your extended rom! why i am asking? it is not there in the german version of the xda mini s....
best regards, lutz

forgive me how would i do that?

if i where you i would install the extended rom unlocker (here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=33680), then copy the files you find in that folder to sd card, zip the o2 active ui cab and attach it here
after thet delete the extended rom unlocker tool on your device and everything is like it was before.
thank you for your (upcoming) help
best regards, lutz

and if you were to find that little switch application you mentioned arlier in your extended Rom, it would be great if you could zip it too and upload it here.
Thanks!

a lot of work to do for you now
cheers, lutz

Will be working on the cab files ;-) - well trying lol

I have the attachment if someone wants to host it, send me their email address. Its all the cab files etc out of the rom.

best you can do is uploading it to rapidshare - http://rapidshare.de/ - "durchsuchen" (means browse), upload and then post the link to it here.
also there is an ftp server from xda-developers: ftp://xda:[email protected]
use the upload folder!
thank you very much!
cheers, lutz

rar file containing my entire rom extROM version 1.5.4.102 (11/08/05) Rom Version - 1.5.4.2 WWE is here - http://rapidshare.de/files/8333519/O2XdaMiniS.rar.html
Hope this helps

you're great! thank you very much!
best regards, lutz

sup lutzh, nice to see you here ;-)
anyways, that file you've uploaded to rapidshare... is that the german or the UK O2 Ext-Rom Files?
thanks,
martian

hehehe, here- there- anywhere
it's of course the uk file. if you need german - let me know. but the active ui isn't in the german rom, thats why i've asked here for it. unfortunately it is not visuable after installation - i am evaluating at the moment, what the problem is.
cheers, lutz

Its the UK O2 rom files

thanks davidcollins
Can anyone upload it onto the ftp server? I can't get it, as rapidshare does not like proxy servers...

I downloaded it (through a proxy) and tried to upload to the ftp of this site, but it says 'Pesmission Denied'. Sorry

ingenious - thanks for trying!
Can anybody else give it a go for me and millions of us who sit behind proxy servers.... ?

MDA and XDA extended ROMs : Where to get ?

can anyone tell me where to get these ROMs ?
they're not on the ftp server any more.
Thanks
XDA:
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Universal/Extended ROMs/O2_XDA_Exec_Extended_ROM.zip
MDA:
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Universal/Extended ROMs/mda_pro_eng_uk_extrom.zip

What are extended roms ?
The file you have listed below is there, problem with your url, try:
ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/Universal/
then manually click extended roms etc ....

ROMs GONE
I must be awfully thick - I've tried Filezilla, IE6 and Opera, the only directory I see at ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/Universal/ is Shipped Rom and then Xda_Exec_LaunchROM_v113139.exe, nothing else.
I've done a bit of searching and it appears some unkind person has deleted a lot of the Universal files.
Can some kind soul re-upload them or provide somewhere where I can download them?
This sort of stuff is good to distribute using BitTorrent don't you think?

ROMs Gone. Yes
I agree, been looking for the Radio Update and you're right only one ROM in the upload site

looks like they have been deleted by a selfish person :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=100072#100072
can someone re upload them ? or perhaps seed them using bit torrent?
please ?

I am just in the process of uploading the MDA, XDA and jasjar extended ROMs back since I had downloaded them a while ago
edit>>done, but I can only see the files if I use xdaupload as login...odd

thanks!
bluesign2k
found the ROMs you uploaded, they've ended up in the /universal/upload area.
THANKS ! :lol:

I'm looking for JASJAR_WWE_11353_137_10301.rar
which contains the File: MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe for the rom. been deleted

T-Mobile UK GPRS/MMS Setting

Sorry Mods, I did a search for a already start string, but could not find one that meets the needs!!! Maybe there should be a part just for settings!!!
Ok well i got it working so.... If any people that are T-Mobile UK you can try my cab file!!!
It will setup your GPRS and MMS
ftp://xda:[email protected]
Unlike the last cab file i made, this one is tested and works great for me!
Feed back would be nice!!!

Thanks - worked a treat!!!
I've been searching everywhere for the correct settings since upgrading my Hermes ROM and your .cab was the only one that worked!

Will this cab file work for fresh mobile, which uses t-mobile???

Hmm, not sure, have installed them both but can't find any info about them in the connection settings. Do I need to install the arcsoft mms for it to work?

Sorry the FTP has ben tidyed up abit and the file is not there any more!!! But if you look you will find the files in there!!!

Not sure if the cabs were responsible, but after installing them for fresh I couldn't receive any calls, and after installing them I can receive calls. Don't seem to work for fresh mobile.

I just installed the faria rom and it seems great but now i cant connect to internet via GPRS not can I get MMS to work.. have clicked the .cab link in this post but that doesnt seem to work either. Can anyone advise where the cab file is..?
Also I dont appear to be able to connect to the FTP server.....??
T Mobile UK
Thanks

I ripped the settings from the T-mobile UK website and these work fine for me with this latest Faria ROM and the 02.25.11 Radio ROM.
This radio rom seems to give me better battery life, and I don't have the missed calls issue that the later radio roms can cause.
Hope these help.

Ah - you mention a radio rom.. does that mean that I need to use 2 rom files - not just the faria one..? I have looked at the ftp site and there appear to be rom files and extended rom files - whats the differece?

If you have followed all the downgrade/unlock/upgrade_to_current_provider_ROM/upgrade_to_Faria_ROM sequence you should have a radio ROM of at least 2.xx. This should work fine with Faria's ROM. If you need/want to change your Radio ROM have a look here for a selection.
My own feelings are that the 2.47 radio roms have excellent signal strength but at the expense of decreased battery life, also there have been reports of missed calls with this ROM.

Thanks for that! I also see that you are t mobile uk - does the auto config from farias rom work for you - can you send mms and log onto the web via gprs or have you had to load different settings?

The autoconfig within Farias excellent ROM did not work for me. I have had to re input the settings after every ROM change, so I can nearly remember the settings off by heart The settings in the text file, a couple of posts back) have worked on every ROM for me. (FlexT with Web&Walk)
Yes I have no problem with MMS, Web over GPRS and Windows Live Messenger.

Released: 3 UK Ext ROM

Find attached the Extended ROM of 3 UK.
Dont think that it's incomplete due to the small size, u ll find out that it contains several cabs.
I m sure many will find it usefull.
BTW i m still waiting someone's reply on how to dump a rom. I already tried few things with the tools mentioned in wiki but i m not quite sure if i m doing this right. I will really apreciate a feedback on this. Pls feel free to PM me...
Regards
Z£Y$

Many thanks mate. This is really appreciated. wish I could help with the rom dump but I am still learning myself. good luck with it.
Regards,
Psi

Umm this is a slightly modded version that does NOT remove the wireless section from the today screen as the original does, and adds a few freeware apps that I use every day. The apps being:
Tcpmp
Total Commander
PS Shut XP
HTC Xbutton
PHM Regedit
and RAR Archive manager.
This is still in the same format as the above (the files only) and not in .nbf format as I simply don't know how to dump it / compile it. So it's for unlocked extended roms only.
For a guide to cooking your unlocked extended rom have a lookee here
I am using this rom on top of an original O2 Exec rom not the QTec rom used by 3UK and it installs fine. So it should work with any universal variant.
Happy 3'ing!
Psi

Have now made the ms_.nbf file for of the original files from Z£Y$ for flashing via RUU.
http://rapidshare.com/files/66799675/3uk_ext_rom.zip.html
And here is the ms_.nbf extended rom file for my own version that includes the apps above.
http://rapidshare.com/files/66989609/3uk_ext_rom_psidoc.zip.html
And here is the rom with all the streaming media bits n bobs already in with the browser string modded to suit 3 as well.

Thanks for these Guys.
I wish I could help with dumping the ROM too. I've been looking for the 3 ROM for months.

The 3 rom is a standard Qtek rom with the 3 bits n bobs added in the extended rom.
Basically you can use any WM5 (or 6 if you don't want videocall) of your choice and all the 3 stuff is in the extended roms above.
@Z£Y$ what version of Qtek rom is your 9000 using.
Psi

Re:
PSIDOC thanks for confirming this m8.
F***k the ROM dump then lol
BTW i m on:
ROM version:1.30.77 WWE
Radio version: 1.09
ExtROM version: 1.30.246 WWE
Is this the latest Qtek ROM version?
Regards
Z£Y$

Ah, I didn't realise this.
I had gone back to the basic Qtek rom quite some time ago to sort out issues with the web connection dropping out all the time.
I still have issues with being unable to get to My3 with the E61 block. I think this is something to do with certificates. I have no idea how to solve this.

I've asked 3 if they can provide it. Don't hold your breath though.
I contacted them today, they said they would get back to me.

Welcome mate. Re having the latest, I think you are, however have a lookee here (requires you to register.)
http://www.myqtek.com/europe/myqtek.aspx
@ Lakota,
The reason for the E61 block page is because you are using a web browser, not a WAP browser to view the pages on 3. I found this out eventually on my old nokia E61. Sadly the Uni doesn't have a Wap browser. Please refer to This post here for Z£Y$ method of getting around that. Personally I use Opera for a browser so i don't get the problem. You could alway just click the services icon and viola you get past the E61 block.

A Response To Your Find
An Interesting Find
www.DeserteDNJ.com

@ PsiDOC
Do you get all the services using opera? such as "today on 3" and access to all "services" such as mobile TV??? I was not able to do so with opera untill few minutes ago hence i decided to release a guide.
@Lakota
I had very lenghty discussions with 3UK and the outcome of the numerous callbacks is that Qtek 9000 is not compatible by 3UK to use planet3. So do not expect a solution by them. However there is a workarond as i m describing here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=341755

Thanks very much for the extended rom and for your guides, Z£Y$. It might finally be time to ditch my Orange sim and get a 3 contract sim I think!
Quick question though, as I don't know too much about the services 3 provides - are ALL the various services that are available on 3 working on the Universal with your guides/workarounds or are there still things that don't work 100%?

With regard to services I only really browse the 3 uk site to check what I owe and get the news etc so yes today on 3 does work. I haven't used the Mobile TV so cant comment on that. Opera is fine for doing that. I usually go in on mobile.three.co.uk and it automatically redirects me without the E61 block page.
With regards your fix for the streaming media most of the files for getting it to work should already be in WM5. If you like I can add the rest into the Extended Rom and have that do the registry change as well, so when you first setup and the customisation is performed it's all done for you. No fuss no hassle then.
If you want it, give me a day or 2 as it's a bit manic here today.
Psi

@PsiDOC
Yes m8 if we can add the procedure i.e registry fixes and files to the Ext ROM will be excellent. I m gonna give this a go myself as well if i have some time... BTW HTC streaming media is not included in my wm5.
@XTCrefugee
All of the services from 3 are working now!!!

Many thanks guys.
Some very useful information posted here. Much Appreciated.
Cheers.

Ok peeps, I would have had the streaming tv ext rom sorted by now, however I am having problrms putting the coredll.dll file into a .cab file for the extended rom. It's sending my PC into a 100% CPU loop. Everything else packs up ok, it's just this little monster that's giving me a headache.
Bear with me on this I will sort it.
Psi

m8 one thing to consider is that these dll files for the streaming media need only to be ADDED if missing. In my case i added only few of them and ignored the rest without to overwrite the existing ones. So if you ll make a cab file it will install all of them rather than installing only the missing ones .....correct me if i m wrong.
Ideally during instalation u should be promted about the existing dll files.
Regards
Z£Y$

I appreciate that mate. However what we have to consider is the varying configurations for user installations. I can set a .cab file for "if exists = skip install" on files which will bypass on install if the file is alrady present.
It's just that I cannot get this bloody file into a .cab file....
It's annoying me now. Been trying all night. GRRRRRR!

Alpine ROM 1.11.00 WWE with Radio 1.04.00 and ExtROM 1.11.180

Hi guys!
Here is my last contribution to the Alpine, before buying a Touch Pro 2. ;-)
This ROM is based on the most recent O2 ROM. I removed all O2 stuff and replaced the Bluetooth 1.0 drivers with version 1.6 drivers.
This ROM also contains the most recent TomTom version for WM2003 which supports the latest version 8 maps!
Enjoy!

Hi!
It looks like your device isn't a world wide English (WWE) device.
There is a thread about changing the country code on a Himalaya (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=228852) which should be usable for the Alpine, but it involves some hacking into the firmware definition file. Decide on your own risk.

rapidshare seems to of died
if somebody can send me the file i will be more than happy to host it

How long does the update take?
Hi, How long is the update supposed to take?
It has been running for about 45minutes now and all that is on the handset display is...
USB
V1.01
My laptop says it is still "Checking the information on [my] device... Please Wait..." Even though it has already shown me my previous firmware versions and asked me to confirm upgrade.
Thanks
Dom

After 4 hours and a call to O2 it would appear this update has crashed after erasing my phone...
I have now attempting to run the O2 official ROM install and the handset is no longer does anything...
Any ideas people or is my phone now a paper weight?
Thanks
Dom

Does it say anything on the xda screen

Not now...

try pluging it back into pc and running MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe again see what it say's

handset doesnt do anything, computer comes up with a communication error...
