Hi,
I upgraded my XDA 2s last week to the 1.40 Type I ROM along with the Type I Radio 1.13 and customised my Extended ROM in the 1.40 kitchen. I have been experiencing some weird problems though and wondered if anyone else had had the same things and if there is a workaround.
1) I had trouble with GPRS reconnecting but then foudn the post about changing Caller ID version so that one is sorted.
2) My bluetooth headest has gone weird on me a couple of times during calls, it suddenly adds a question mark to the headset icon in the top bar and switches the call to the phone which is quite annoying (and dangerous when driving!)
3) It seems that my settings for sounds and notifications keep going back to default, particularly my SMS tone, which is just a WAV file in the Windows directory.
4) Sometimes when i switch it on a white light comes on the screen for a second then it switches off again and has to be pressed again. A soft reset cures this normally.
I really like 1.40 apart from these irritations as I really want to keep WMP10. If anyone has any insight, I have posted the contents of my config.txt file to see if anything could be causing issues.
Thanks for any help,
Fin

I am being tortured by the fail in re-connect gprs, could you tell me how to solve me by the 'Caller ID version' that you suggest on your post.

Hi Patrick
You have to unhide and unlock your extended ROM and replace the Caller ID cab file with older version of the same file that is available on the wiki site in the Blue Angel ROM kitchen. From memory, I believe the older version of the file you need is the one with the 14 suffix. are you familiar with unhiding ans unlocking the extended ROM?
Best Regards
Chris
Thanks Chris but I am not familiar with playing around with the ext rom, do you think there is patches out there that I can apply, otherwise, you walk me through step by step how to do it.. if it's not too troublesome.
Best regards
Patrick Choy
Instead of unlocking the ROM, can't you just copy the photo contact cab file to the phone, rename the IA*.DLL's and then execute the cab file to load the program? Obivously this will be removed after a hard reset.

Mmmm... that might work, although since the existing version of the program is also running, there may be some conflicts, unless you could stop it before starting the replacement... Not sure on that... "The Last One" or "Happy Goat" could probably advise if you if you PM one of them.

As far as I know there are no patches available at this time. We are still waiting for O2 to release their version of the 1.40 software, which will also include the Blackberry client software. Its only a 50:50 chance that their update will also contain some GPRS, Bluetooth and WiFi improvements, but I would not hold my breath....
The wiki site (wiki.xda-developers.com) is really the place where all the knowledge resides, plus the various ROMs and CABs. It explains explains all in great detail and I would encourage you to read the sections on Blue Angel. In the meatime, here are some specific links to help you step by step through the ROM unhide and unlock process.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_ERK_X_Zip
Once you have unhidden and unlocked the Ext ROM, you will be able to replace the Caller ID file with the older version (1.17), which can be fould here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_ERK_Applications
The 1.40.147 extended ROM seems to differ from other extended ROMS in that you do not have to update a Config.txt file. You just copy in the new CAB files using the same file naming scheme as the other files in the Ext ROM. I cheated a bit here, by just renaming the older version of the file after I downloaded it (not really good CM practice but it worked for me ). So after unhiding and unlocking the ROM:
1. Download the 1.17 version of the file from the link above to a folder on your device
2. Look at the file name of the Caller ID CAB currently in the extended ROM and rename the file you downloaded to the exact same name.
3. Delete the current Caller ID CAB from your extended ROM.
4. Copy the Caller ID file you just renamed into the extended ROM.
5. Re-Lock and Re-Hide the extended ROM per the instructions at the link above.
6. Then perform a Hard Reset and the modified extended ROM file will reload. WARNING! Remember that a hard reset will ERASE all the date and 3rd party apps you currently have on your device. You will have to resynch with outlook and reload any apps you want again after the hard reset, so make sure all is backed up before you do any of this.
So that's what I did. You could try the trick that HennyB suggested first of course and see if that works. The other option is to wait for the new ROM from O2. And if you do not want to mess with the Extended ROM, but can't wait for the new O2 update, try going back to the current 1.31 ROM from O2 and installing in 'corporate mode' when prompted. The 1.31 ROM always had a very stable GPRS connection for me.
Hope that helps

Chris
Caller ID
I have done this previously. All you need to do is copy the Cab file over to you device. Typically to temp folder. Use file explorer to navigate to the Temp folder and double tap on the CallerID cab file. A window will open staing that it cannot copy IACIDSync.dll. Select cancel, and find this file in the windows directory and rename it. Go back to temp folder and double tap the callerID cab file. It then states their is a problem with another IA*.dll file (cannot recall the name). Go to windows and change the file name. this has to be done on 2-3 files. Then the cab file will finally load.

Sounds like this is the workaround then. Certainly seems easier than the ROM "surgery' and if you ever have to do a hard reset, you could modify the ROM then..

Hi Henny, the rename that you say mean just change the name to something else, correct me if I am wrong about what you say. And crbrow51, you mean if I perform a hard reset, everything that I do according to Henny will be gone, isn't it.
Best regards,
Patrick Choy
I just renamed the IA* files to IA*.dlb from .dll and then executed the cab.
I am definitely running version 1.17 of the Photo Contact program but still have GPRS program. Photo contacts seems to work more reliably though.
Now I dont believe that changing the version of photo contacts will solve the radio problem.
Hennyb wroteI just renamed the IA* files to IA*.dlb from .dll and then executed the cab.

Well that fix worked for me, although I did it via the extended Rom update and hard reset. Is it conceivable that a hard reset is needed to completely flush the effects of the existing Caller ID version...? Anyhow, here is a link to a thread that has some more pointers to possible GPRS connection fixes

Yes, if you do the workaround to bring this file in without updatinf the extended ROM, then the change is lost on a hard reset.

Removed phonealarm program (which I thought was great) and now GPRS is working flawlessly.
Not sure if changing to photo contacts helped the situation or not.
What is phonealarm?
What Is Phone Alarm?
Its a great profile and repeating audible alerts program for PPC PE devices.
You can download the trial at
www.pocketmax.net
try AlarmToday by the same developer. Great products, first class support.
Also, as an aside, i have both working on my device with no GPRS problems. My bet is that the caller id cab file downgrade fixed the problem as it di for me ;-)

GPRS on my phone even with the caller ID downgrade did not work properly until Phonealarm was uninstalled.
I believe the compatibility problem is with the new O2 Asia 1.40 ROM. Users have reported the same problem on the Pocketmax.net forum for phonealarm.
http://www.pocketmax.net/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=565
Mmm.. interesting... Which version of PhoneAlarm are/were you using? I had trouble with 1.20 and went back to 1.13... I was thinking of moving to the O2 Asia ROM, to see if there were any improvements to bluetooth connectivity. Guess I could do that and use O2 Plus instead of PhoneAlarm... Thoughts..?

I was using 1.22 and the new Asia ROM.
I do not use bluetooth but one of my friends does and said that the older ROM with the bluetooth patch is better than the new 1.40 Asia ROM.
I had a same issue with GpRS not being able to reconnect. Drove me nuts as we use mobile mail to our devices.
Installed the older called id cab (1.17) (just renamed one file) and now its all good.
Also my XDA2s now does not freeze when gprs is reconnecting.
Thanks!
Hi Folks,
i found a trick to make an autoinstall from strorage card (like from extended Rom)!
autorun.exe looks for the file config.txt on the place is in registry stored in:
"HKLM\Comm"
"AutoRunCFG" = "\Speicherkarte\Autoinstall\config.txt"
so i changed the registry entry and now i am able to put config.txt and the files to install on every place i want.
on windows Mobile 2003 devices this works wonderful!
on problem i have now with windows mobile 5 devices:
when installing a question appears where to store files (device or storage card)!
can anybody help me to get rid of this question during automatic cab install??
i want install all cab files to device without any questions!!
pbelcl: apologies for my ignorance, but is this very different to a 2577 folder?
with a 2577 cab we could use this info:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=225375#225375
and choose a default install folder I think for WM5.

Thanks for your quick answer!
i read the other tread and if i understood it right i have to remove the .dll file from my cabs?
i'll try this and tell you if it worked ....
I think the other way round.
I've never done it before, but you need to make a custom cab and .inf file, and specify the installation location in therere, and then the "choose a location" dialog doesn't come up. I'm not sure, I'll try this at home later.

Thanks, that would be interesting for me because i cant generate cab files because i hav no developer software for this.
i also have access to a cab file manager (at a customer) where i can edit the cab files and change them as i need it.
if it is possible to generate an "empty" cab file for me that would be nice ....
pbelcl: I never use the cabwizard either, I use cab manager. To make an empty cab, take any normal cab (download one of mine?) and just remove all the files from it. That's what I always do!

ok, this is also my way to get an empty cab file
there is one question interesting:
Sometimes there is a "CheckFile.exe" and a "CeSetup.dll" in the cab file.
Do i need them for any work during install this cabfile or can i delete them also?
I remove everything from my cabs, and then use cab manager and drag and drop stuff. So I've never used those files. I will have to read up on how to make a "normal", but I don't think they're necessary if you didn't put them in there!

Hi folks,
again my last problem with automatic install on WM5 devices:
when my automatism starts to install the cab files (from where ever) each time there comes a popup windows where to install the cabfile (storage card or device).
for my routines it is not important becaue most of my cab files only set some registry keys and dont install files on the device!
Does anybody know how i can get rid of this window and install the files to device WITHOUT question popup window??
copy the cab to the ppc ,install it,
go to programs there will be a new folder called acessories,open it tap the usbswith icon and select serial ,restart your pda and you will be able to sync now.
no more interfering with my network
wow 22 downloads and no repys ,it must be good.
didn't work for me
how can i delete this?
hi dident work for me either any sugestions
hi dident work for me either any sugestions
I cannot seem to be able to load that file. I can only Explore on my 8125. I can extract the .cab file to my desktop and I can copy the unextracted .cab file to the 8125 (or the extracted files) but I cannot install the program.
Any suggestions?
Copy the .cab file to your device and run it there. I don't think you need to extract it first before copying it over.
Better still here is an explanation of what you would be doing and why.

how can i delete this?
Dears
I want to cook a ROM for my Prophet (Jamin)
I want to delete some programs that I don't need from AKU Aserg 3.13 and Add some programs that I use them
So I download tools for cooking rom and extract the ROM to my PC...
But I don't know how can I determine the files for a program That i want to delete or ADD from ROM.
for example I want to delete Total Commander from my ROM and ADD Resco Explorer 2007 !
But I don't know which Files and DLL files are related to Total Coammander , and I have an EXE file or CAB file for Resco Explorer how can i put Resco Explorer or other program to my ROM?
Thanks for helping me.
Couple of notes:
1) There is a free tool called "Dependency walker" which will show you what DLL files a certain exe is linked to.
2) There are several apps that can unpack a cab file, some free some not just google for them.
You will have 2 problems with Resco explorer:
a) If the cab contains a setup.dll you would need to find out what that does and replicate its function or the installation will not be complete.
b) This is a commercial program so you need to find out how its registration is stored (which is not easy) and add the registration manually.
There's a tool call ssnap (system snap?) to take a snap shoot of yr PDA (registry, file systems). Then use a diff tool (beyond compare is very good but not free) to compare the before and after install (and register)

Thanks u for good helping.
we know that the programs in te ROMs is not sufficient so we install programs for our needs. for example Dr.YAR Bluetooth manager, SPB pocket plus , SPB Mobile shell that use storage memory for installing and can't be install correctly in Storage card, so the Storage memory will be full after installing these programe and same...
So would u plz help me to put these file to my AKU3.13 ROM ?
Thanks a lot
Any idea?
Did a quick search and didn't find it...
if you mean an installed program in the rom
then one have to collect all the files required to run
and put them in a cab file onceselfs
if it's some sort of extended rom auto install then the
extended rom needs to be unlock and unhidden and
one can copy the cab out
The Rom is:
JAMin_ESP_2130924_21309117_020720_ship.exe
and I want one of the applications inside, a game I couldn't find anywhere else and my girlfriend loves it.
