hi all,this is my first question on this site.This site is incredible for the wealth of info put forward by its member,credit to all you guys.i have flashed with a couple of the roms on my universal mainly tmobile and o2 and imate,but i desperately want to try the orange rom,does anyone know where i can download this from.thank you in advance.also praise due to buzz,what a techie,gr8 stuff.THANX
thats brilliant, i wouldn't have the guts to do that, just a few questions
1.Which ROM have you found the best out of the box? (from the 1st turn on)(added applications etc)
2.say you are on O2, were you able to still make calls/txt/mms on the other roms, (changing the settings etc maybe)
I have an Orange M5000 that im using as a bluetooth modem right now to use on the internet though GPRS (not in a 3G area)(only because u get 1gb allownce for the first 3months!), I would like to help you out with my ROM but i wouldnt even know where to start
THANX FOR YOU REPLY.I WOULDNT ASK YOU TO DO ANYTHING YET,i have done a lot on both the magician that i have and the universal.i have read a lot of discussion on these topics on this website.in my experience,if you are on a contract then yes you are dead right with what you say.at the moment on my device i have about 30 programs on it,it runs suitably fast enough for me.i have unlocked and unhidded the extrom and deleted it.i have an o2 exec running bits of tmobile and a bit of o2,because i have an tmobile sim.the unit is superb despite the neg comments on it,i have had masses of pdas and this is the coolest.currently i have xda exec,mda compact,fujitsu loox720(TOP CLASS PDA VERY DIFFICULT TO BEAT),TUNGSTEN T3,NOKIA9210,SHARP SL860.I would read more on here though because you can increase the confidence level and the level of knowledge u have.the way to do it is to unlock the extrom then soft reset,then unhide it then soft reset have u can see whats on your extended rom.i have an extra 10 meg now i am waiting for buzz god to find out how to delete the partition.the orange has the best today screen interface hence why i want to try it.the files can be copied onto a pc then zipped and posted.only try it though once you are comfortable.flashing roms onto the pda is far more gods will,wouldnt recommend that unless you are totally confident.
yes you can change the settings although i am happy with the config at the moment,easier just to install the extrom bits :shock:
pardon me im a noob around
but pls can any1 help me here? ...i have an o2 xda2s and i want to change it to wm5 ...
i dunno how to do it with no knowledge of any scripting language and i dont seriously get the whole concept of ROM....EXT ROM...and MKROM for the fact.....
if any1 is able to help me out ......help is greatly appreciated...
i would like to know how to that exactly....and pls try to help me get the concept of ROM
Your best bet is to search this forum thats how we all learn how to do it. The tools to unlock your BA can be found on the ftp site and all information you require are their on the wiki link at top of the page here.
i dont think u got me since i mentioned i quite dont get the terms.....i just want to know if yu can help me out and wether it is possible to upgrade my o2 xda 2s without damging it...
plz some one just help me out....

Hi Dreadlord,
In a nutshell, yes, it is possible to update your unit.
My personal recommendation to you is that you stay with what you have. Presently, there are few advantages that you, as an end user, would gain from an upgrade to WM5. Perhaps, it's just an appearance issue..?
To Upgrade a BA to WM5 requires some end user knowledge of the day to day running of the device and if you're having problems understanding the daily terms within posts here then you might end up damaging your BA.
Don't forget that these ROMS are not official releases. They are patched reverse engineered Operating Systems that still, at this stage, feature bugs & code issues. Granted they are getting better with each release and I strongly believe that one day they'll be a "plug & Play" version that people can just load and use..
This is why I presently am running the latest 1.42 WWE ROM for WM2003SE.. Yes, I have updated my BA to WM5 several times but I have always downgraded again to WM2003SE as so far as I rely on my BA too much for it to use [compared to WM2003SE] an unstable system.
Another thing is that the majority of users on this forum have all had to read the wiki on here and learn. There's very few people who are lucky enough to have this kind of information in their brains already. (Click the link in my Signature to start reading Wiki)
You might not get a good response from others on here if you reply in bold (or caps) stating that you don't understand things - It's not their fault you don't know..
Hope this helps..
Cheers!
Blah Blah.. etc etc.. Hehe
My previous post was my 100th - I'm an an old salt now.. hehe.. Apologies for not being around lately.. I've been in a different country!
Hope all is well with everyone..?
I've noticed the high degree of work that's been done lately on WM5 and all I can say is:

Take care all - it's nice to be back!
This is really agravating me as the taskbar under it doesn't draw properly..I need to get rid of it.
Actually I'd like to just strip out the unnecessary o2 software altogether, the only thing I'll need to keep is the phone prog (unless of course there is a replacement)... can someone give me some pointers?
Thx. (Just got a brand new XDA IIS for £130.. and I'm still a bit of a noob with it.)
Sorry guys,
I know his is a noob question..
but give me some time.. I'll soon be up to speed.
Worked it out myself.
It all comes down to finding hidden files that don't show up via the device file explorer.
Hello,
hopefully somebody got a registry twaek or anything that make
it possible to use the mail preview in TouchFlow or MS 3.5 in
combination with BBConnect.
Right now in both programms it is only possible to see the header
of the mails. Well that´s a little bit frustrating, because it makes
it impossible to use the preview function, and you still have to
oben the mailreader programm.
Thanks for your reponse.

Hi Howie,
I have been using various versions of BBConnect on various handsets for about 4 years now. I'm afraid I have never seen a solution to this. I would like to be able to delete the emails from the Touch Flo screen using a soft key without having to open them anyway. BBConnect is an apauling programme and causes lots of bugs. Your one is just one of them!
Hi Mitsi,
thanks for your feedback.
Just to your point, within MS3.5 it´s possible to delete an mail
with "two clicks" without open the original mailprogramm.
Well, from my point of view, since it is a problem that comes up
in TFD and MS3.5, i believe there must be a solution.
It seems that both programms are using a procedure or whatever
that is similar in both programms. ( Hey sorry, i´m not a programmer)
From my point of view it must be possible to trace that back.
But to be honest i don´t know how, if somebody could point me in the
direction i would try it. But hopefully there are more experienced guy´s out
there who knew how to do that.
Is there somebody ???
Okay, maybe this way works, if somebody will provide a solution,
we can talk about a reward - 10 until 15€ ???
We will see.....
Wiling to donate also...
Bump.
Hi everybody,
just to bump it up again, maybe one of the dev´s has now a solution
on that matter.
Reward is still open
Hello,
bump it up again, still hoping somebody got a solution and is going to get
the reward
Yet another questition, since i´m running on the stock rom (german ),
could give me somebody a hint if the mailpreview will work with sense 2.5
or maybe with a "cooked" rom.
Would be great to get at least a feedback, if that will be a way,
that i could follow for a solution on this issue.

I'm not sure which thread to post this query in, but have tried to delete from other threads and can't find out how, sorry.
Anyway on to my query.
Hi folks, i have just bought an 02 XDA orbit 1, and i really like the device although one of my gripes is that the keyboard is too small for texting.
I am running windows Mobile 6.1 professional, ROM version 'Oops black WWE' and I have a 1gb micro sd installed.
can you please let me know if the keyboard 'EZIMPUT 2.1 will work ok on my device in English? and could someone please point me to the link for the best version to use with my device specs?
Sorry also, I am really new to Windows mobile, is it just a matter of putting the cab onto the phone and installing it from there?
Also, sorry again, but is there any way to get the screen to dim completely after the time out. mine still shows and although dim, may be enough to be using the battery.
Thank you very much
Steve
