Does anyone know how to repackage this? - P3600 ROM Development

I grabbed the netwizard out of the Official Dopod extended rom, since it automatically sets up all my mms and gprs settings, but now that i'm not running the Dopod WM6 the program won't run, saying that it's only for dopod..
anyone know how or what needs to be done to make this thing work? "netwizard.zip" contains the net wizard files.. i pulled them out of the cab that's also posted below. It contained a couple more cabs inside of it, but i don't think they had anything to do with the netwizard ( i could be wrong though). so i'll just post it for reference

You also need the dopod certificate as well thats in the ext rom (attached) and that does it for me and running the normal netwizard.
hope that helps

i love you right now! haha.. so there's a bunch of netwizard files in there... am i needing to put some in windows directory etc? or i just run the exe..
*edit* actually nevermind, i got it working.. thanks a million!

extrom like normal disk

Hi all, i have problem with extrom. I cant find solution for long time. I would like use extrom as normal disk, that means i would like to install programs on it and modify files on it.
I normaly do it, but big problem is after reset, when my files are replaced by original files from ext rom.
I tried many roms a same like dopod 900 aku 2.6 dont do it(after reset my files staied ext rom). I dont know where is the problem, mayby somehere in registry.
I dont know, where is original files backup. because i delete all files from extrom and tried find some of them in windows directory,no was there.But after soft reset original files are still here.
Please help
I would like to second the motion for this request. I do so with the full understanding that this question is already discussed in the forum. However, the threads are soooo long and contain information that is often conflicting. I have already followed along and tried several different methods of effecting this exact result. In the end, I have the EXT ROM area visible, but I cannot rid it of the O2 files and open it for use like the iPAQ File Store I used to have in my previous device.
Again, I apologize for requesting this information that already exists, but a definitive How To would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your consideration...and more importantly, all of the hard work put into the site!
you need to both UNHIDE (make it visable) and UNLOCK it...that is you need 2 cabs to do this
Thank you; I understand that I need to both unhide and unlock this area. I have attempted this several times in several ways with several tools/executables...
good, now is ok. Before i used only extunhider. Now i run ext rom unlocker and it is ok

"Not Enough Memory" troubleshooting thread

So, some of you have this error, some dont. So lets try and figure it out. Heres what we know.
The problem affects ALL Artemis WM6 ROMS.
Remember, the issue doesnt appear when just using it normally. Its only under certain circumstances. Heres how you re-create the problem.
Run Tomtom, this causes the error90% of the time.
Create a new word document and try to save anywhere.
Heres my setup and what ive tried to fix it.
Device: MDA Compact III
SD Card: 1gb
Ive tried font cache size, system cache, removing the memory card.
Please dont post "I dont get the error" if you havnt tried running tomtom or saving a word document.
Thanks
To add to the problem re-creation, I was trying to copy a directory with around 15 files in it from the internal memory to the storage card, the message just kept popping up for all the duration of the copy process, I stoppped clicking ok eventually. I looked at the free program mempry available then and it was pretty good at around 22mb.
Device: Orbit XDA
SD Card: 1gb
I too have noticed that looking at the free storage space seems to fix it for tomtom (but not word). There is something else wrong with Excel in that the "Save As" is in the wrong place, infact where it is isnt actually save as.
You're right, I haven't noticed this before with excel. I can't remember if it was like this before, was it? It won't be easy figuring this little memory issue out. I hope someone has a trick up their sleeves.
I have the WM6 emulator running on my pc and the excel thing isnt there. Comparing the registry settings on the emulator with my device. I would love to hear if anyone does actually have Word working without issue.
BREAKTHROUGH!
OK. I installed the original Orbit rom and... IT WORKS!!!! So the question is what did bepe and the guys do when they de-branded it? The orbit rom has an Ext-Rom with a load of branded stuff PLUS! some patches. I bet one of these patches fixes the issue!
These custom roms have NO Ext-Rom at all, hence the increased storage space. however in the process of removing the ext rom they have managed to cause these memory errors.
So guys, any chance of a rom close to the Orbit rom but with the English language and Ext rom left in tack?
Great work mate, it is the removal/merging of the extended rom that's causing the problem then. Maybe it's not even a patch in the extended rom, maybe it's the way the extended rom was merged that's causing it. This surely deserves more looking into.
Great breakthrough
Word FIX!
Thanks to pvdhelm for the tip on this one. Attached is a patch to fix the memory issue with word (and only word). To fix it for other apps you need to view the memory in the control panel and click on "Storage Card". The word fix is pernament but the other memory issue it only until you reset your phone.
Absolutely brilliant, so it looks like missing registry entries!! We need to find out what was in the original extended rom then to find out if we're missing anything else. Looks like only me and you here, you should post this fix in the main threads mate.
Cheers and well done.
I have a copy of the rom, tried isntalling it all but to no avail. It looks like on boot up the system thinks it has a different ammount of ram due to the ext rom being merged. By displaying the ammount of storage it realises it has a different ammount and fixes it. Until the next reboot. So if anyone knows what changes when you view the storage that may be fixing it I would love to know.
Or if somone can make a rom with the ext rom still in place.
EDIT: Heres one just for the MDA Compact III without WiFi users. It applys the Word memory errror fix but also fixes the Comm Manager issue and does so just for the MDA as it removes WiFi from the list.
Maybe this is a clue for you all. I have never had these errors, ands I use Tomtom daily and have tested word for you again with no fault.
The difference? Well I upgraded to WM6.0 the original way before USPL patch and flashed the OS only. I'm assuming you with problems used the ROM installer method. Am I right with my assumption? If so that should narrow down the culprit.
I used Bepes original WM6 WWE OS only upgrade, therefore the Ext ROM on my device is still the old T-Mobile WM5 one and was simply not allowed to run. So it can't be right to assume there is something missing from an EXT ROM patch.
It's most certainly the extended rom being merged then, there's nothing else to it.
gajet, can you give me the exact steps you took. I went from the T-Mobile rom to Black and blue then to the others. I uses USPL first though.
Can you give me a quick set of steps you took i.e Original T-Mobile rom, then ran USPL, then updated to Bepes.
Also, if you used bepe's can you also tell me which rom update util you used? as the one ive tried has errors at the end.
Thanks

VERY interesting reading!
If you move this thread, please drop a link on here for us, thanks. The first one to crack this problem will be worshipped from afar I am sure!!
I think it could be an order of upgrade issue, heres the latest.
1. Downgraded to T-Mobile WM5 rom
2. Ran USPL
3. Upgraded to Bepe WM6 using the EXE version
The word issue is no longer there but the out of memory in Tomtom is. Also no ext rom.
It would be good to know from others and gajet what steps they took and which files they uses to do it. Especially as gajet still has his extended rom.
I've tried:
official t-mobile wm5 to german wm6 to bepe uspl &
official t-mobile wm5 to bepe uspl
Both times I have had the error with tomtom but no problems with word.
Both times temp fix (looking at storage) worked (sorry about font cache red herring - thought I was onto something there).
Just tied chi-tai extended battery plugin with the storage showing on the homepage (as a way to force system to get correct memory) but no joy.
I have htc touch com manager and phone skin but not the home plugin.
Cheers
Matt
I think Ive cracked it. Just doing some final testing but watch out for a new "How to" thread.
go Danny go.
Look forward to seeing it.
Will test and report back once you've posted.
Cheers

Sadly the original thread was edited to reflect the OS update was repackaged but eddie2k still goes on the reexplain the process in this thread.

then use winrar to unpack the (bepe) wm6 wwe rom in this page (written in red). flashed using bootloader method.
after u get german rom installed , run ARTE os flash utility from xda ftp (log in properly) link don't work if not logon properly..
ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/Artemis/arte.zip unpack
copy os.nb from first folder (bepe) wwe rom to arte folder and rename os.nb to windows.nb then run UpgradeRom.bat
hard reset, soft reset done.

Now I didn't bother installing the german O2 release as my MDACIII was CID locked, so I just used ARTE package with Bepes WM6 .nb renamed and flashed the OS only, then after hard resetting, at the point of about to load EXT ROM soft reset.
This thread was also the guide although you could skip the process of extracting the .os from a ROM package as Bepe originally provided us with the raw windows.nb file.
Thanks gajet, Ive just posted the steps. Your post was deffinatly the key. Once I saw you still had your ext rom I knew we could do it.

TomTom installation

Hey,
I am trying to install tomtom on my MDA compact III. Actually, I had it before, and I had to hard reset, and now I forgot how to install it again.
I have the tomtom in the root of my sdcard. I have the 2577 folder with the autorun.exe there. After running it, Im supposed to go and create a new folder on the hard drive, copy something into it, and run the tomtom installationform there. I dont remember what that something is, can someone help me with that?
I was just going through the tomtom threads and they didnt really work for my problem (im not new to this forum).
no one knows??
come one guys, im sure many people did that same trick!!
I know...if you do a search there are like 500 posts in the whole of XDA Developers ...and 175 posts in Artemis returned, related to Tomtom. Surely someone must have an answer!!
I checked like 50 posts believe me, they talk about something I have done alredy! but there is something else im still missing, thats why im turning to a quick answer!
Just install via the CAB file. Its free from the HTC website (as you pay for the maps not the software).
Here you go, copy to your device and run it. You will need to provide your legitimate, licenced maps as its useless without them.
Main Application
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=5S5ZIOZS
I went to the TomTom website, and logged in with my account deatils and downloaded the latest version, Tomtom PDA software (Through TomTom home).
I had to instal the cab file to the SD card, and reboot, after this it installed with mo probs.

Internet explorer plugin for apps

Was wondering if someone can tell me which file contains the IE plugin used by apps like Pocket Wikipedia. Ever since PIE6(WM6.1), its not working correctly. I know it has nothing to do with IE executable, n I also tried replacing some dlls I saw Pocket Wikipedia using, without any luck. What did work was restoring an old backup of a WM6 setup I'd made via spb clone onto the new WM6.1 setup. The restore got stuck in the middle where it was unable to restore registry entries, but it did restore software n even the IE plugin . The end result, as far as I could see was all WM6.1 other than the IE plugin. Now am using WM6.5 and I kinda like the new IE... so dont want to risk it again. Is there a way to simply replace the plugin file?
hello ,my fellow ,could U share the new ie with us by uplord it or give some link to download it ?thx
i dont think its out in cab form... its built into the rom.

Download link for extrom unlocker is dead. Help

Hey I want to add in a extrom for the first time on my siemens sx66. I read all the instructions and everything on the wiki. But they tell me I need a unlocker tool for it. I tried to find every link possible for it, but they all give me an error so Iam guessing there dead. Can anyone post up a new one please.
here you are, the unlocker and the repart doc
Thank you so much, appreciate it.
Okay, I downgraded back to wm2003, made it so total storage is 60mb. Now I upgraded back to wm6.5 explode. So now I just unhide, unlock and then just copy the extrom zip file to the extended_rom file???
Actually, I was reading another post of yours, and I remember you saying to put the /extrom folder in a sd card?? I dont remember reading that in the wiki. But anyways you think you could provide me with instructions on how to do that. I have the sd card.
by resizing the old extrom folder to (probably) 128kb, as suggested in the wiki, you don't have the old space to park the extrom, still the sd card has an autorun, as you might have experienced before, if for example there is a folder 2577 on the card, whatever is in there runs, when the card is inserted, but don't mind about that, just an example.
you have a file extrom.zip or something comparable, just unpack it and put it on the sd card, so that it shows EXTROM\ with a bunch of cabs in there and a cfg.txt, an autorun.exe and a picture custom.bmp.
- the autorun.exe is what executes the entire thing when inserted
- the cfg.txt holds the config, meaning it describes what happens there, there is a list of cabs in there, and how to process them,
- the cabs are the installation files of the programs to be installed, if you are uncertain, whether you need each one of them, maybe googling the name helps you determine that.
- the custom.bmp is the picture showing while installing the extrom and so rather uninteresting for you.
remember to make sure, the list of cab files in the folder is the same as listed in the cfg.txt, having it downloaded and extracted that is the case by default, but if you want to customize it, remember that simply copying the files into the folder is not enough, they need to be listed in the cfg.
i personally for example remove the adobe reader and arcsoft mms from extrom and put own apps in there.
every program in there is installed to the system storage, so make sure you don't stuff your device with to many apps that maybe you don't need.
Yay it worked!! Hey thanks alot for the help, didnt think it be so simple. Anyways, thanks again.
Heh I wrote this on my BA, more reasons to love this thing.
