Here's a list of all the cabs that are installed on an MDA Pro. I am trying to find out what they do. Most of the ones I have filled in are thanks to 'Dingo' who has done this for the XDA Exec extended rom.
Signed_UNI_TMO_WiFi_SSID.sa.CAB
Adds a load of hotspot SSID's to 'Configure Wireless Networks' in settings
Signed_SSD_Shortcut_WWE.sa.CAB
Links for sim card manager and enroller
Signed_Service_Icon_Order.sa.CAB
Unsure - perhaps defines the preference order of networks when roaming? Could not see any changes after installing.
Signed_UNI_TMO_Connection_112100.CAB
Adds connection 'T-Mobile Internet' and 'T-Mobile Internet CS' to settings-->Connections. CS=Circuit Switched Data, ie 9600bps
Signed_Disable_GPRS_Autoattach.sa.CAB
I believe this causes that horrible 'are you sure' dialogue every time you try and go online.
Signed_LongDTMF.sa.CAB
Under settings, personal, phone, keypad, sets the keypad option to 'long tines'
Signed_UNI_TMO_UAProf.sa.CAB
See link at end (XDA Exec thread on same subject)
Signed_USIM.sa.CAB
Unknown. Did not notice any changes
UNI_BrowserPerformance.sa.CAB
I assume this speeds up browsing! Perhaps setting cache settings, I dont know.
Signed_Version.sa.CAB
Sets the version no for the extended from in the device information
Signed_UNI_TMO_Setting_111100.CAB
Pah, dunno!
CAB-Customization-TMUK-Universal-01-03-04Aug05.CAB
Adds T-Mobile MMS Settings
CAB-DATEmail-Universal-TMOUK-22Ju105-DataBase.CAB
Localisation settings, I believe (makes clock 24hr)
CAB-Shorcut-TMOENU-08Aug05.CAB
It also sets up outlook to have an MMS account. If you want MMS, then you'll need this (pitty you get other ****e dragged along with it tho!)
It also sticks a link for the elatepushservice (what the heck is this?) in /windows/startup. This link will fail to load anything since the files are installed as a part of the cab: TMO_UK_UI_0727_signed.CAB just remove the shortcut!!
While you're at it, kill the sddeamon file in startup also. This is the thing that mythers you as to whether you want to view the pics on an SD card when you insert it.
Dont kill the pocket outlook shortcut tho - doing so will mean that pocket outlook has no MMS folders.
This also installs the links 'clearvue PDF' and 'EmailWiz' Again, the targets of these links are installed as part of TMO_UK_UI_0727_signed.CAB so trash the links if you are not interested in these features.
Enable_VT_RTPlugin_0727_2_signed.CAB
Registry changes and XML settings see XDA Exec thread, link @ end. Read elsewhere that this adds/enables the video call functionality.
TMO_UK_UI_0727_signed.CAB
Files For T-Mobile plugin & Other stuff 'elate push service' etc
TMO_UK_UIShortcut_Plugin_signed.CAB
Shortcut for t-mobile today screen plugin (so it appears in 'items' on today screen)
TMO_MMSNotifySound_0805_Signed.CAB
Sets the sound for a received MMS ;-)
TMO_UK_pIE_0807_Signed.CAB
I assumed that this set Pocket IE home page, but it does not appear to do a thing!
TMO_pIE_HardKey_0810_Signed.CAB
Makes the (t) button on the keyboard point at PIE with tmobile home page
TMO_Streaming_0729_Signed.CAB
I had assumed that this added the Streaming icon to programs, but it seems not!
XDA Exec Thread On Same Subject: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=32527&highlight=extended+rom
I'll install the cabs manually when I get time and see what they do.
Note: I installed the imate rom (soft resetting before the imate ext rom got installed!) and then went through the Tmobile ext rom clicking each in turn in the install order from the config file, reporting the results above.
The t-mobile theme comes from the file \windows\t-mobile-tsk, this is loaded as the default theme. Its the first thing the t-mob ext rom does when it installs. I did not install this (dont have the files) I dont know whether some of the later cabs rely on this being present or not (as you'll see above, some of em did not appear to do anything...!)
If someone could post the file /Windows/T-Mobile.tsk I would be most grateful!
I also noticed that in the email app, no MMS account has appeared. But I do have the MMS server defined!
I'm gonna reset again and see whats in the imate ext rom!
Nigel
TMO_UK_UI_0727_signed.CAB
Files For T-Mobile plugin & Other stuff 'elate push service' etc
push service is what is used by tmob for their instant email - blackberry service, i've checked into this and found that service not avail with mda pro yet, but when mda 3 came out not avail with that at start and now with further rom update does
TMO_UK_pIE_0807_Signed.CAB
Looking at the contents for this it appears to set up PIE favorites, also seems to be some sort of PIE plugin for t-zones added to the registry too. If you remove it from the Extended_ROM and hardreset are the shortcuts to t-zones etc. set up in PIE favorites? Don't get my MDA pro until next week so can't try myself.
VELETRON YOU are the BEST!
How bout examining 1.30.77_1.76_1.09.00?
Just thought I would start a thread for problems/annoyances people have noticed with the upgrade to WM6 (RUU_Excalibur_TMO_US_1.22.531.4_4.1.13.34_02.79.90_Ship.exe)
Here is a start for me:
- The memory leak problem is just as bad as the beta I installed over a month ago.
- The homescreen reverts back to the TMobile Default Blue on a soft reset (you must rename to fix)
- The registry hack to disable the beep when you initiate a call doesn't seem to work (didn't work for me in the beta either)
Not sure what you mean by 'memory leak', but I found deleting the Voice Command shortcut from the startup folder frees up a lot of memory. Personally, I find the number 1 feature of Voice Command to be frustration, so I don't need it loading at bootup.

Try renaming the tmobile default blue homescreen xml to something else, or delete it outright. Im pretty sure thats the homescreen that defaults back when you restart the phone. I would like to state for the record that I have octrotalk installed, and have customized my homescreen with octrotalk. It essentially creates a new homescreen with all the plugins from the current and adds octrotalk to the new one, setting it. When I restart my phone it always comes up as my octrotalk screen, regardless of how the restart was done (battery removal, smarttoolkit restart, whatever.) Additionally I don't have any memory leak issues. I run quite a few apps at a time, word, excel, IE, octrotalk, outlook, a few games in and out, occasionally zatelnet, and the filemanager. I also generally close all apps Im not using anymore, but when I close all the apps I opened to run, I usually recapture around 12megs free ram. When I start up from fresh boot, Im at just under 15 megs. Atfter closing apps in the default wm5 tmobile rom, I would usually end up with 9-10 free megs.
Unless someone else can confirm that the official rom does this same stuff, I feel like you may not have upgraded your rom.
I'm having problems with mail since upgrading to WM6. I can only reveive my .mac mail, I can't send out. I've tried everything to fix it, changed the ports on the smtp setup on the Dash and still can't send out mail. This is so frustrating! I didn't have this problem in the WM6 Beta or WM5.
I'm getting absolutely no email on my wife's dash after this new ROM. I try to set up the email and at first I get a warning about Roaming (I'm not). And then it just refuses to connect to download her emails from our POP3 account.
It' so strange these email problems we're having. I am not having any problems with gmail, or aol for sending and receiving, only my .mac mail (I can only receive, not send email). I rely on this as it's my main email client. I never had any problems before the "official upgrade".
Are you all using the T-Zones plan with the jury-rigged proxy settings? That might explain it. They're moving towards T-Zones being available via the WAP browser and widdling away at other features being accessable without paying for different service levels...
im just so glad there is a forum for the dash/excalibur here instead of mixing it with the MDA like HowardForums.
Over there there is about 2million "official" threads thare are never official to begin with. lol
If I use T-Zones button and go through the wap browser and go to my email I can send and receive fine within the t-zones wap browser. The problem is with the messaging app itself that won't let me send out email with my .mac account. Even if I have the phone turned off and am using WiFi I still get "the message cannot be sent" errors.
What else can I remove from the running programs to free up memory?
I don't use the voice command either. I would like to use the live messenger but it takes up so much memory.
I wish I could just take memory off my memory card and use it as phone memory.. Or even have a option like pocket pcs do and use the program memory as system memory...
Grrr I hate havin a laggy phone, reminds me of XP on a 266mhz computer..

I use PowerControl+OMAP from http://mobile.surrealnetworks.com/DashApps.htm to overclock my phone. It overclocks the processor to 240mhz when its in use and throttles it down to 180mhz when its in standby.
There is another issue with Windows Media Player and streaming Video (e.g Orb, Videos from Windows Media Mobile, etc) where the screen rotates 90 degrees when you zoom the video to full screen.
It's been tracked on this tread:

hey, can somebody plz help me in doing this?? when i go the file and go to edit, the delete option is grayed out.. i really need to free up some memory, thanks
i made a post on howard forums with the things i dont like on WM6 for the dash .... http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=1156952
What you describe is how T-Zones work -- if you pay more, you can do mail within the messaging app. If you pay $5.99, you can do mail via the WAP browser. Which service plan do you have?

It should have nothing to do with me having the T-Zones $5.99 plan I can send and receive with aol, and gmail with the plan, only receive with .mac, I can't even send out mail using WiFi. I was on the phone with T-Mobile today and they tried troubleshooting. They said that for some reason the smtp is getting blocked with my .mac account, they think I should call Apple. I even asked if it had anything to do with me being on the T-Zones plan, and the rep said no, it should work through WiFi since I'm not using T-Mobile's network.

The "Problem with the homescreen reverting back" is not a WM6 problem, it's a My Faves (My 5) feature. Basically, every time you turn your phone on, the My5 service detects whether you have MyFaves and changes your homescreen to the proper setting. The settings for this are saved in the registry.
The location is:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\My5\Homescreen
There are two values, On and Off. Just change those to your homescreen, or try removing them altogether (haven't tried that yet).
You could also try removing the My5MsgCenter.lnk from the startup folder, but I don't know if that's the one that reads from that registry key
ha, for some reason chaznet takes every opportunity to bash the 5.99 tzones plan. i have it now with wm6, i can go to every website, i can check my hotmail by going to www.hotmail.com, and the internet seems even faster than with wm5. so it still works, and it doest seem like its going away anytime soon

Deleting the Homescreen Registry "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\My5\Homescreen" Key Worked!
One of the things that annoys me about my Dash is its habit of attempting to call home every time it boots up. I always recei a number from some service complaining that I have an unknown phone number. It would be nice to know how to turn this off.
Also, is there some way of generally making a distinction between EDGE and WiFi connections so I can avoid burning data if I don't have to? AT&T's configuration has EDGE set us as an Internet connection, and a proxy set up from The Internet to WAP Network. It's nice that Skype and Fring make a distinction between cell data and WiFi, and I'd like to carry that over o mail, MSN Messenger, ShoZu and browsers if possible. I'm willing to experiment since I have unlimited EDGE for the rest of this month.
Any ideas?
Are you referring to a received text message? Cause you'll get that if you don't disable the myfaves when you use it on the at&t network.

Yep, that's it. How do I go about disabling MyFaves? And is it possible to re-enable it later? There's the possibility that once our contract is up (or at least, once my contract is up) we'll be jumping ship to go with T-Mobile.
There's a shortcut in \Windows\Startup that you move out. I forget the name at the moment, but it should be clear.
What he said.... you will need to rename the file (whatever you want)... reboot and then you can delete it.
He can't rename the file if it's in use. Download a task manager like celetask. Open program and go to processes, kill myfavapp (I think its called), then go to the \Windows\Startup folder and remove the shortcut to the My Fav application.
Oh really? Because that is exactly how I did it. (And yes, it was running under the processes)
I've never found a successful way of renaming or moving the my5service.exe file in WM5. I did it without any problems in WM6 but I don't use it. I've searched many threads and all say recommend the same methods like deleting MyFav from the Startup Folder (which I don't see like so many). It simply can't be done or something since it's a ROM/System/ReadOnly. I tried unchecking System/ReadOnly using RescoExplorer then tried moving it using Resco and Activesync. No Go. If anybody knows how to take out my5 in WM5, please post it.
P.S.: I am using Celetask 2.2
i am running WM6.0 what i did was to go to "Comm Manager" and i turned off the "Data" & "Phone radio" icons, i restarted the phone, with the radio off i was able to delete the file, after deleting the file i turned back on the above and restarted again, no rogue text any longer
good luck
Does there exist a utility that would allow one to export the T-mobile connections settings registry key(s), such that they could be imported into Kavana/Rickywats/NRG's ROMs after flashing? It would be a lot easier than having to go manually recreate the connections each time.
Ditto the My Faves settings, numbers, icons, etc that could be saved off and then flashed in the My Five app.
Just a thought.

I believe you are looking for total commander.
Total Commander, eh? I'll look into that, thanks.
After the last time I flashed the TMOB official ROM, everything has been running so fast and smooth (except for a continual reboot loop problem) that I don't want to take a chance of losing the settings when I flash again.
Thanks for your input.

1. SKTools does a much better job then Total Commander
2. Reboot loop is usually due to Memory Card. Either you have something on the memory card that is supposed to start up when WM does (like Facade or some other home screen plugin) and the device cant find it since the memory card is not always available upon start up or your card is almost full and it is taking to long to 'mount' or your card is defective
Thanks, that makes sense.
Is there any way to know which reg keys I need to export to save my wifi, MMS, etc T-mobile settings?

SKTools allows you to see the entires as you back them up. I generally just run then registry cleaner in SKTools first then make a backup. But you can find the ones you want by doing a search (ie WiFi or Connection)
http://www.htcmms.com.tw/gen/Excal-1.0.xml i found this online havent testit yet tho
Did a hard reset and going through the painful process of setting everything up. I did keep a .doc file with all my settings in it, and that has helped. One annoying problem though.
Opera is very strange. Mobile websites do not appear as they normally do. They come up very small, and I have to zoom and center them in to be able to read them. Anyone know a setting to ensure that Opera sees a mobile website as a mobile website?
Some are working fine. m.cnn.com is ok, others such as m.google.com show up incredibly small and do not fit the screen as they normall do.
Any suggestions? Thanks.

You are a rock star. I could not figure that out at 1.00 am.
Thanks!

On a related note, I cant seem to figure out how to make links in emails open up in opera. I changed the registry setting, and the manilla settings, but links in emails still open in IE.
