Hello everyone, i am looking for a description of what each cab file installs in the JASJAR extended rom...
i have been searching for a long time and have had no luck...
hi, i would like to join this request
i will also join in on this quest to find out what these cab files do..
I made a start on the t-mob one on another post, and I looked at each cab file name, searched for it here, searched on google, then tried to suss it out, then installed it and wrote down what it did to the device by annotating a copy of the config.txt file.
An amateur way of doing it maybe, but I got quite a lot of info on the cabs for the mDA Pro in this manner.
Best of luck and in the end we can probably come up with an uber Ext ROM and pick the best out of the lot of them.
yes i found it and read that. you annotated some of them as dont know. i would hazard a guess in saying that TMO could possibly be t-mobile related applications??? i have seen the o2 version and they have a similiar naimg system for their own customisation!! just guessing, as soon as i receive mine i can start playing!
Yeah I was drinking lots of the old Nelson at the time, and it just got more difficult as the beers went down...

Please read this before asking questions!
As of this time, there is no Blue Angel-compatible CE ROM of Windows Mobile 5 to date, in beta or final form, in circulation nor available for examination or experimentation to us.
As of this time, there are no official or unofficial plans or announcements by any manufacturer, distributor, or wireless carrier.
Please do not create new threads or post off-topic in current threads that are in regards to this UNLESS you have witnessed firsthand that one does exist or that you are or can be in possession of a Blue Angel device that has actual Windows Mobile 5 code on it.
As soon as we can get our hands on a test ROM, we will let you know as soon as possible.
Thank you.
Thanks to BeyondtheTech for the idea and text.

Well its a thought

The Dream is OVER!!! The president of imate said it
Some dutch company interviewed the head of Imate (in English), He said it himself, that the reason was because of memory issues, and the he was afraid that everytime, the phone died or there was a hard reset, we would lose part of the operating system. heres the link to the dutch webite
Here is a link to the Web Site
Here is a Direct Link to the streaming Audio interview
i'm guessing u didn't see the thread about WM5 actually on a BA device did u? well it's true, WM5 CAN be put on a Blue Angel.
by the way, i listened to the podcast, and he was talking about the magician. now if it was the SuperJAM, then i think it would be ok. but devices with 64MB RAM, then you will have the problem. but since the BA has 128MB RAM it's ok.
Dale Coffing on his site mentions something interesting. At the end of his review on the Samsung i730, he posts a response to a reader in the comments section who was asking about WM5 on the Samsung. Here is his reply:
"I have been running Windows Mobile 5 as a development platform on a BlueAngel device (the MDA3) so it kind of spoiling me to not have some of the advanced features on the i730."
So, it seems that not only is WM5 for the BA possible, but it already exists.
Here is the link to his site: http://dalecoffing.typepad.com/my_weblog/2005/06/first_look_sams.html#more
Youre right, i also read this, but we all knew this before. We know that it exists and we were very very close to getting a hand on it, severel times.
Well if Dale was as big of a bible thumper as he claims he is, he would have shared the device with us by now, after all isn't that what Christians supposed to do, share with the needy? But I suspect that his bigger passion is wth MS so I am pretty sure he won't share with us.
I emailed Dale hes a putts and eveyone on the world who has a BA with 5 and doesnt share it. There all putt's

If hes such a "bible thumper" as you say that's the very reason he wont give out what doesn't belong to him.
EFJAY--Please help...
I’m having the problem you’ve already solved on the PDA2K with the GPRS re-connection on T-mobile. I ran "The last ones" cab file for changing the ‘flags2’ file to 16. So far so good.
The other issue of course is the need to downgrade my caller id version to 1.20 build 17957. I have the cab file for that: IA_CallerID_1.20_WWE.CAB but when I copy it from my desktop to the device and double tap it I get the same error message: “The file “\windows\iacontacts.dll” is in use or is in ROM. If the file is not in ROM, please close the application using the file.”
So, the second part of the fix is a no go. This device is my goodlink and to be honest I desperately need a work around for this bug in the 1.40 ROM. I would be EXTEMELY grateful if you could stem me through the process of downgrading the caller id .dll file to 1.20 build 17957 and somehow getting around the fact that it’s in ROM.
Thanks very much for your help. I’m afraid I’m supposed to be leaving town tomorrow late afternoon and this IMATE PDA2K was supposed to be my lifeline. Now I’m ready to throw this brick out the window and buy a treo. I’m depressed. L
I would really be grateful for any assistance. Thanks so much.

im assuming you meant to click new topic rather than reply at the top of the thread!!!, lol
Can we post in here now?
PLEASE!!??!?!?!
Or at least change the sticky to the one that says WM5 is up and running?
I was wondering if there is a project started (or willing to start) to create a section on the FTP for Customization. There are times that I want MMS/GPRS settings (or just the splash screen) for a carrier but don't want the whole EXTROM, and of course I don't want to go through and download the whole extROM for one or two files (if I can properly identify them of course).
I thought it might be a great idea to create a section with MMS, GPRS, splashscreens, themes settings for carriers that sells/resell HTC products, and if no CABs already exist, maybe we could make some
What d'ya say?
You need to have a better look at wiki and the kitchen.
The cooked ext roms have a erk_14x_### page were you can read what files came with what rom.
The ftp site has a dir with that erk and the extraxted files extracted.
Some times you can find the splash screens in bmp and jpg.
Now due to lack off help not all roms have been updated as the task just got boring to do alone and the guy doing it spends to much time failing MCSE tests.
Hope it helps and have fun.
Thanks
I started on the project yesterday with some Greek customization CABs...the work continues I will also look at the kitchen. I downloaded it, it runs on my machine, but before I cook it tells me that its busy - one problem at a time though
All this and more....on my site
category filtering isnt quite done yet, almost, but you can find all customisation cabs and all other cabs ever extracted from roms/ extended roms
I did the himalaya ones by hand, every single ****in last one of em
just try it (look in signature)
Well I am inpressed...
I had a look at the BA cabs on my pda.
If I am allowed to make a suggestion then.
1 Could you put the select button infront of the item and add a borded around it. (on pda i get lost on what i have selected.
2 can you move language up the list after device ?
3 any chance of a info screen (for the ba cooked roms you can cut this info out of wiki)
Like i said it just a sufgestion, i know how much work it is.
1: done
2: ill think about it
3: there already is...but it needs editing a lot (click the magnifying glass)
remember, I do this all myself, for all cabs, for all devices....takes loads of time
well i dont get as lost, thanks.
Saw the comments, cant see how I am to add any.
Im still writing that
:shock: nice !!! :shock:
First let me say, I've searched this site, googled these questions and used wiki.xda-developers.com to try and answers my questions before posting. I couldn't find the answers.
I've downloaded and installed the T-Mobile UK ROM on my JasJar (I know that imate has a more "updated ROM", but I want A2DP and I don't really care about Push Email. Plus, the "Lock" function is playing havoc with my GPS Applications. Anyway, here are my questions. What do these CABs do? (Found in the UK Extended ROM v1.20)
Remove_CE_UA.sa.cab
Signed_TMO_Add-MSN_Del-SAPSettins.sa.CAB
Signed_UNI_TMO_UAProf.sa.CAB
Signed_USIM.sa.CAB
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'll post a full explanation of what all the CABs do in the extended rom once I figure out what the remaining four do.
Also, is there a way to "view" what a CAB file does? Do I need a hex editor?
Thanks
Justin
Download WinCE cab manager and you can see what each cab file does. It will show what registry changes, files added, etc, There is usually a xml file that changes the registry and will show you what is removed or added. The software is not cheap, but you can download a trial, that lets you open it upto 30 times (so download and keep it open until you have examined all the cab file in your extended rom) It can also be used to make your own cab files. I used it to create my personal settings like owner, ie tweaks, registry tweaks, etc
Thank you....
Eagle1,
Thanks for the tip. It was invaluable. I was able to piece together what (I think) each of the cab files do (both with the Extended ROM from I-Mate and the one from T-Mobile). I'll try to post my findings in the next couple of days. It may be a good thing to add to wiki.xda-developers.com if there is enough interest in it. The post will be VERY LONG, because I cut all the XML files and pasted into my Word Document. It now sits are ~22 pages for just the T-Mobile stuff. It'll be longer because I'd like to comment on the changes. Some were new registry changes, but others were not (so I really don't understand the purposes of those cab files).
Anyway, again thanks for your help. I now know a lot more than when I started. BTW, the program link you sent me has changed their "Trial Period". It now only lets you open it 15 times vice 30. Just FYI. Thanks again.
Justin
If i install onto my exec Helmi WM6 v.1.1
will i still HAVE all of o2s random tripe like the tinterweb settings and such like... im just a lil worried that it wont work and ill have a nice expensive brick and i really dont like the thought of that
EDIT
can i install WM6 then just update with the damn O2 rom from their site??? or is it not compatable???
-DTM
There's nothing stopping you from flashing any ROM you like onto your device, and putting the O2 GPRS/MMS settings onto it.
There are enough links on the site with the O2 settings cab file if you search.
You will not be getting the O2 Active either, but again, this is something you can search for yourself and add to it.
I suggest you read the wiki http://wiki.xda-developers.com/ and this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=269118 (which really should be a sticky hint hint mods) before you do anything, as it sounds like you need to understand the difference between a ROM, and an Extended ROM.
I cannot beleive it was that easy,, i just needed to extract 2 files.... stoopid me lol.. TY Very much Alan
-DTM
Whoops spoke too soon...... the dreaded thing has happened
not really its working so crisp and clean upgraged and totally workin in 30 mins,, not bad
one little ammendmant tho the phone keypad is well not there,, the buttons all work and it makes calls but i would like to be able to see things on the screen,, no biggie tho but if anyone can help let me kno
-DTM
Never mind,, had a quick rummage around and fixed t with trusty Resco RegEdit,, muhahaha,, WM6 is the best
-DTM
I know people always ask to go through the threads and titles to find an answer, but the truth is I only find bits here and bits there, and not sure what to do!
I wish someone could explain what are the steps to take to move from Wm5 to Wm6 (I like the Black version) on T-Mobile Vario II, with as little probs as possible.
What programs to download and where from? Which order to install them?
Also: are all Wm6 versions available 'pirates'? Why cant you download Wm6 straight from Microsoft (I havent found any links yet!)
A huge thanks!!!
Step by step?
I agree with the above! Any step by step instructions for beginners?
I concur. It's a minefield out there. Lots of advice but a lot of it contradictive and the occaisonal mention of the "B" word just to convince you to put it off again for another couple of months.
It's been a lot more than that now for me but the need to sort out my HTC S100 Bluetooth headset means I have to.
I'm going to take the plunge. I'll let you know what happens.
T-Mob UK MDA Vario II (HTC Hermes) WM5hit
MrVanx's site has a nice set of guides on it.
I went here,
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_UpgradeForBeginners
I did the HardSPL part but I'm not sure if I needed to as the ROM I used seemed to do the same thing, but it didn't seem to hurt.
I then went here and downloaded the Schap's 3.60a ROM from mirror 1
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=all_hermes_roms
and ran it....
Forgot to back up my MMS's so lost them but apart from that... dare I say it......
The main reason for me doing this was to get a half decent sound on my HTC S100 Bluetooth handsfree jobby. It's done the trick, not perfect but it's so much better.
Hope that helps someone else and thanks to all involved in the sources I used.
DGL.
I decided to take the plunge today mainly to take advantage of the new internet sharing via wifi hack available on WM6. Like you guys I was nervous about messing up my phone and there is so much information available and so many choices. I decided to follow MrVanx's guide, very simple and spent about 2 hours doing to whole upgrade for hard spl, radio upgrade and windows black satin. It really is very easy if you follow that guide step by step. Definately worth it and had I known how simple it would be would have upgraded my vario II ages ago. If like me your on t-mobile then the cab on this thread might also be handy:
