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.

Sjeesh man, life is too short to be vague. :| What is it you wish to accomplish?
(Since you posted in 'Unlocking it', it may well be that you wish to use this phone on some other provider than the one that is providing you with the phone, and that you suspect that the phone has a SIMlock set....)

i've got an MDA Vario II and just updated it to the original WM6 ROM which was available from T-Mobile, but I am very disappointed - in some things:
- The Power Consumption has increased
- Some Programs are even not in this ROM like the "Notes" Application and the Calculator
- The Performance is not as good as under WM5
- The WMP cannot play MP4 Files
...There are some more issues but I don't want to list them all, because this is not my core question
What I want to know is if it is possible to install the O2 Rom or if you can recommend me another ROM, it is no problem if it is in english, it just should be having all the WM Standard Programs and it should have more performance.
Can I get the original HTC ROM somewhere ?
Hello all,
I don't know whether this has been discussed before or not as I haven't been able to find it. I'm wondering if it's possible to install the Orange Today menu? I'm using the Indra AKU3.2 ROM and I wanted to install only the today screen app from the Orange ROM. If this has been discussed could someone just point it out to me? Thanks.
P.S. Could someone also give me the link to the FTP site? I can never find it. Thanks!
Orange menu
The orange menu is nice application but it has very limited configuration possibilities.
I have seen already some post regarding this. However no one were able to find a way to further to improve it.

Hey there. Thanks for the cab file. It's really nice. Though it looks better on the smaller sets rather than the Universal. But thanks.
P.S. Sorry for the late reply. Didn't receive a notification of reply. I just stumbled on the thread from my cp. Cheers.
Screen shots please.

sorry about this random post but the Orange menu dont work in Crossbow ROM? I find that Orange menu saves a lot of memory! It truly makes Universal more of a phone than a computer. Because i was recently wondering... I wanted a phone and not a computer... and really i could have made my laptop a phone too by buying those quad band pcmcia cards. But I want the Universal to have more "phone" features than other "computer" features.

To start off, the Universal is a makeshift computer. Not a phone. If you're looking for more phone then you should get the smaller PDAs or a P990 or something. The fact is that the Universal will never be more phone than computer. It's just the way it's been built and well the reason it's been built. Either way I've tried the Orange menu on my Universal. I have the AKU 3.5 ROM by Helmi_c and it's working fine ... though I'm not using it much now.. Have found a new arangement for my Universal: Wisbar Advance 2, SPB Pocket Plus and SPB Diary.
Btw, Sorry for the delay in putting up the screenshots... Also sorry for them being small but there's a restriction on the size of the file and so I had to keep them small. The last one is with the Orange theme that comes with the menu.
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???

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

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

Never mind,, had a quick rummage around and fixed t with trusty Resco RegEdit,, muhahaha,, WM6 is the best

I downloaded the LG Today plugin as i liked it very well it also works as promised by the developer! but i can not get rid of the two buttons no matter what!
i can understand from searching using the search function (so DONT accuse me of ignoring it) that you could get rid of it using a Reg Edit software but i have never dared to mess with my regisary (due to past experiances it reg on xp!)
Could Someone please tell or show me what to do!
removing system tray
i'm trying to do the same on my orbit 2
so far i've found this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=368836&highlight=remove+tray
but can't find a registry editor thats free.
ps: dont worry about changing your regisrty, just do things one step at a time and if you do mess it up theres alwasy the "hard reset" option.
update: ok found this registry editor. it runs on your pc and is a real time editor for the ppc registry (you can even do a full backup of your ppc registry). still trying to figure out how to remove the tray icons.

lets keep searching!
system tray bar
Hey pal, i've tried a few different things and found out that the prog in question is called o2c.exe (thats on my device anyway, maybe the same on the hermes). I found a thread that said rename the "o2c.exe" and replace it with "dciNobar.exe" renamed to 02c.exe, I tried this but it got rid of the soft keys (not what i wanted), so i just renamed 02c.exe to 02c_orig.exe (in file explorer), soft rest my device and hey presto no system tray, all that popped up was an error message saying it can't find o2c.exe or it is not trusted.
btw added these two little proggies (within zip) and my phone is now super sexy.
"but can't find a registry editor thats free."
odd i cant even mention one thats not free

I just got my T-mobile Dash and I read around this message board and see all the cool stuff you guys do. Im not completely stupid (at least in dont think lol) cause I flashed phones before, some which turned out good, and some ive bricked (lol)
Anyways what Im getting at is a i want a cool home screen like you guys got. I think you guys are using "Chome" if im not mistaken? Where can I get it? Is there a specific one I need to get? Do I need to flash my phone or is it just like a .cab file that I install on my phone? What stuff do you guys recommend I get to just get me started on making a cool home screen? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks Again

All the 6.5roms have Chome. and they are very customizable. You will need to flash your phone if you want the full package. Check the sticky and make sure you do an application lock prior to flashing.. I personally recommend ookba's 3vo rom and edit everything with Roloracer's titanium filechanger. I also recommend you search this forum for the icon and background thread for some cool backgrounds for your phone. image size for backgrounds are 320x240
RE:
Hey I looked and searched around for the ookba 3vo rom and had no luck. Is It just a rom that flashes me to windows 6.5? Can the dash have windows 6.5 on it? are there any other things or steps I need to Do before flashing the phone? Do I need a program to flash the phone or is it just like a ROM you would download from T-mobile, hook up the phone with usb, an let the install do the rest? Please help. Thanks man.
Tim
you dont have to look very far, the rom is 3rd from the top of the list!

Very true. 3volution series rom's are the biggest thing since sliced bread here in the dash world. Let me answer a few questions for the thread starter.
Is It just a rom that flashes me to windows 6.5? Can the dash have windows 6.5 on it?

It is the rom itself that will flash you to WM6.5 using the fore mentioned thread will directly link you to ookba's 3vo rom for the dash. Additionally check the Sticky out. (the very first post) it has a list of everything im linking you too.

You don't really need a "program" everything will come in the files downloaded from the 3vo rom thread. The one thing you will need to do is download and install an SDA application unlock found here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=355789
After that's done check out this thread on flashing for the Dash, its a little outdated but everything is the same. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=415225
