Thnx.

Sorry guys i'm new to this, i have an O2 xda11s what will installing the extended rom do and how do i do it.
Thanks in advance

OK, I am either old, stupid...or both??
OK, folks, I am scared of a lot of this, I guess because I don't understand it yet...I dl'ed hte Siemens file, unzipped it, now what....??
I see a file called AUTORUN, should I double click that file, and pray like anything??
I guess the simple word here is "HELP!!!!" :shock:
Thanks in advance for everybody's assistance!!
Tom

The Extended ROM is just a collection of applications and patches that the provider included with the phone... for instance, the O2 Ext. ROM includes a PDF/Power point viewer .cab in theirs that I-Mate doesn't include with the PDA2k Ext. ROM. The naming convention of these .cabs makes it semi-difficult to find out what each .cab does without testing it. To install a .cab, simply copy it over to your phone, browse to its location and tap on it. I would recommend doing a backup, as you can't really uninstall a lot of these .cabs.

Does anyone know of any updates posted anywhere for the Orange version of the Blueangel - the SPV M2000? Either on the Orange website or elsewhere?
Thanks!

XDA For Dummies?
Here is the problem I have...there is a LOT of info here, for which I am VERY grateful; but there seems to be an assumption that everyone here knows all this stuff already. And I will be the first to admit, I DON'T!!!
I have the updated extended rom files, and I am being told to put them on the handheld, and run the cab files. Well, the updated rom files contain more than cab files! Where do I put htem, and which ones where?
Is there a "XDA FOR DUMMIES" guide somewhere? I would really like to update my unit, but I don't understand WHERE the files need to go...
Here is the file list from the SX66 Update:
AddContacts.exe
AutoRun.exe
BA_Album_WWE.CAB
Button.CAB
CallerID.CAB
Cin_inbox_ap.CAB
Cingularsplash.cab
Cingularcustomize.cab
Config.txt
Enable_GPRS.CAB
getmail.CAB
JAVA_WWE.CAB
MEdiaNet.CAB
MIDI561.CAB
MMS_WWE.CAB
RestartRadio.exe
StartServices.CAB
TPDisable.exe
TPEnable.exe
version.CAB
WLANPatch.CAB
Exactly where do I put them, how do I put them there, and how do I do the update?
Please forgive me for being a bit obtuse, but I was not born knowing all this stuff , and I cannot find the info anywhere! IS THERE A STEP BY STEP GUIDE FOR DOING THIS KIND OF THING?
Hell, I would make a $25 USD donatin to the forum if we could get some kind of "dummies guide"...
Many thanks for your time, and I hope, some assistance!
Tom

I forgot...
Oops, I forgot...HOW do I back up this "extended rom" so if there is a problem, I can return to the previous state? Can that be done...how?
Enquiring minds really want to know!!
Tom

No clue............
I don't get how to install these either.
The custom 9th button assignment one is cool! (for the "E" button the bottom of the keyboard)
Most of these CAB files complain that it's not in ROM in \Windows etc (yes/no/cancel)
How do we allow the CAB files to write to protected ROM?
I've searched this forum and cant find a description on these extended roms either. It's not fun to install stuff in trial and error mode. (anyone care to give a quick breakdown or add a text file to the zip file?)

For a better understanding of extenedrom read:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=13072
NOTE this is about a XDAII and **YOU** are in the Blueangel forum !!!!!
Siemens has a WLAN Patch in its uploaded extened rom,
Anybody know what it is ??
(yes I know its a Wlan Patch have other operators used it)

If you are talking to ME...
I have a SX66, which IS a Blue Angel!
Take care!

i-mate PDA2K WWE is blueangel isnt it? I still dont quite understand how to load the rom upgrades that complain about read only rom over-write errors.

Extended ROMs for Dummies (The books,so no insults intended)
Aloha
Maybe I am feeling sorry for all of the new people who have been lucky enough to stumble onto this site. This site started as a developer site as we took apart the early HTC products to see what made them tick. Here is a quick overview of the extended rom.
Your phone is made up of three rom files. (radio, OS, and extended) The OS and radio ROMs make up the guts of the phone, but the extended ROM is where your provider or reseller (Cingular, O2,T-mobile, Imate) places custom software that differentiates themselves.
This extended rom contains a number of CAB files that usually auto install after a hard reset. You can see them by searching for the Extended_rom unlock tool on this site. Once you unlock this area of your device, you will see a new Extended_storage area. Place the files you like from the downloaded roms. There are great features to pick and choose from such as modified phone applications, ring tones, PDF and PPS viewers ect.
You can click on any of the cabs or modify the config.txt to install the programs. Since many of the programs are similar and probably already installed, you may get an error about the file being locked in ROM.
I hope this helps.

WM5 and X-backup

How do i get my information back that i saved with X-backup? As far as i can see there isnt a program called that in WM5, and i have hole my calender in it.
Can i get X-backup somewhere?

Zalasta Quikos
Qtek 9090 with 5.03.02WWE

this might be possible if someone has the .exe file from a previous os. tho someone would have to try it out either by saving content from wm55 and backing up from wm2003se. I'd like to know if it can be done.

I have tried xbackup.exe from himalaya rom dump. it does not work.

I don't think that will work. XBackup tries to read the data from the storage memory (RAM) which is does not exists anymore cause we have persistant storage (ROM) now. If someone has xbackup from 2003se i can try it anyway...but i bet it wont work.

ok, i will be honest here, what the hell does that mean????
is that why my memory is like really low???
cos my memory only seems to be only 43.26 MB with 27.23 MB free
while it says program mem is 123.15 mb and 96.85 free

Has anyone given Sprite backup a try yet?

Im sorry but does that mean that i cant get my calender back?

I'm afraid yes, unless you downgrade to WM2003SE than sync with Outlook the re-upgrade to WM5.

need info on extended rom

hello just need to know how do i install programs in the unlocked ex rom as when installing apps from active sync it only has 2 options 1 divice or 2 memory card ..
also if i do a cold reset will the stuff in the unlocked ex rom be deleted?.

Does anybody know how to change the Ext ROM? I searched on buzzdev and this forum and didnt find anything.
I would want to make an Ext ROM because I'm trying the different AKU 3.2 beta's and am reinstalling a lot.
Cheers in advance.

have a look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=251710
but why do you put your cab files in your unlocked extrom, install one of the aku 3.2 roms without the extrom and after that install you own cabs from your extrom?
I do it kind of this way with my sd card because I want to see what the guys put new in the extrom of the new aku3.2 variants.

I'm in it for the best, most stable and fastest OS.

[STARTED: 25-1-'08] ==> Real Clean ROM <==

This is just a start of a "real clean rom" mini-project.
I'll try to make a ROM small that includes just OS and drivers for our device.
It's based on original ROM ver. of HTC (AKU 0.4.2)!

very nice... can't wait for it...
will it be in WWE version and in Dutch version?
Thanks for the hard work...

Nice job, NikMel. Any update?
BTW, any link to read about making "big storage" ROM for Artemis? Any problem with battery life?
Thanks.

How have you installed a rom smaller then 50MB?
Have U modified RomUpdateUtility?

Seems very Nice

It's a real good idea.
Is it a BigStorage? interesting......
I'm waiting for try it, but....how can you flash the Rom <50Mb?

will be a good job but i would suggest trying it with few applications before release only 4MB of memory is used - did i get that right?

This is a bigstorage rom yes
To install a rom this small you need to put it on your sdcard and boot into bootscreen RGB.

Can't wait to try this. Hopefully, clean out my PDA and speed things up a bit, with only that installed which I will use!
Go for it!!!!
how come this device shows it has 68mb of storage and my device only shows 47mb of storage (next to the 49mb program memory)
Can somebody also explain to me what the difference is between the two. If I install a program it will use storage space won't it, so why the differenc between the two?
thanks

Will it also have removed all the HTC files (HTC home, cube and others)
thanks
Patrick

it will be a great job
thanks NikMel - look forward to try this rom

Since it's your first ROM i'd flash Kavana Ricky Remade then flash them all to find the one you wan't.
It's all about personal preference, so the above isn't me stating best ROM just most noob friendly i.m.o.
Check STICKY @ top all info about flashing and ROMs there.
Good luck
