o2 "button" on taskbar.. argggg!

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.

Improving M5000

Hey guys, i've just joined up so Hello to everyone.
I've had an orange M5000 for over a year now, and think its an awesome device and as it stands i dont see another handset that is a worthy upgrade, (with the exeption of the HTC Advantage and Slider, whic currently arent offered by orange) so i'm thinking of keeping my M5000, but i'd like to know if there are any ways i can make it any smoother to use and maybe more stable?
I've heard that debranding the handset and only installing certain extended rom files is worthwhile, but i dont really know a lot about it.
Any advice apreciated.
Ry.

Thanks for that, dont know how i missed it.
some interesting stuff. most of the tweeks i've already done (kinda common sense i guess)
i think for now i'd just like to remove the orange customisation of the device. is there any info on this? i am under the impression that you perform a soft reset before the automatic customisation starts, preventing the customisation taking place. Will the phone work just like this or do i have to install selected .cab's to get it working?

There are two ways;
1. Unlock your extended rom, thera is cab. file for that, then delete the auto run or any files that you dont need.
2. Flash the "Empty extended rom"

Backlight and tidy up artemis

Hi my backlight control's rubbish - whatever time I set it to it reverts to 10 secs all on its own ! Also, if I may, I bought this 2nd hand and there's a load of crap files on it especially in the windows folder anyone know of a good tidy-up / cleaner programme - and am I being tooooo anal if I want to get rid of all the silly smilies image files as well or are they too small to worry about. Thanks to anyone for taking the time to read this drivel. Regards Roger

I just got my second hand too and I just decided to upgrade the whole ROM. Check the posts in Artemis Mobile. Meschle made awesome ROM 4.1. I use the Vanilla version, probably fastest and not too much additional programs as in the Full or Lite version. Very fast, stable and neat looking. This way you get rid of all old files without wondering which to unistall, etc. Make sure you follow all the instructions on how to upgrade ROM. I was little confused at first, but it is actually pretty straightforward. Good luck.
backlight - mine did this

upgrade to meschle's artemis touch 4.01. you really, *really* will like it, and it'll fix your problem. honestly, it's twice the phone it was after the upgrade.
Thanks both - a few questions if you don't mind - now I am a real newbie at this - am only just about aware of what ROM is ! some kind of memory I guess. I'll keep looking but so far can't find instructions (those for an idiot anyway). There are also so many versions I am really confused - is this what I want ? ARTEMIS VANILLA 4.01 WWE ROM - WM 6.1 Final 5.2.19199 (SDHC). What's the reference to "Radio" - also I'm on a mac and have to plug up an old PC to use sync - very worrying I can see me bricking the whole thing ! Thanks so much for your time - Roger

[Q] Upgrading from FRX03 to FRX07

Hello,
I am a long-time lurker, and this is my first post! Therefore I am not able to post this question in the Developers forum.
I've got a Touch Pro 2 which I've installed FRX03 several months ago. I'm using another phone now (Samsung Galaxy S ), but I would like to bring new life into the TP2 and upgrade to the newest build which is the Froyo FRX07.
I've been searching for forums all day, looked at the Xdandroid FAQ as well as this thread and there appears to be no easy way to upgrade. Can they be used for such a major upgrade as this or is there an easier way ?
I would be grateful if someone could point me in the right direction. I look forward to the responses.
Regards,
testing251
Would be much easier to just download the full bundle. A lot has changed since FRX03 (that's an understatement!) so why not just start fresh? You'll save yourself a lot of time and headache trying to upgrade something that is so very outdated...
Hello arrrggh,
Thank you sooo much for your quick reply. You have no idea how relieved I am to hear that!
One more question though - do I need to uninstall FRX03 first, or can I install FRX07 on top of it?
Thanks in advance,
bsavarin

On top of it...?
I would remove any old stuffs, but that's just me - that way you avoid questioning whether this piece or that piece was updated or not...
I'm sorry, that sounded silly of me when I thought about it!! I will just reinstall the few apps I had there already.
I've taken your advice and now uninstalled FRX03, and will manually delete the andboot and android folders which are still there. I will let you know how it goes.
Thanks again!
bsavarin
Just thought I'll provide an update.
After several attempts to load it and tweaking (oh for a cab file!! ) it's finally worked successfully!! Afterwards I had a small problem with xdandroid being one hour ahead, so I installed clocksync in android and it works perfectly now!
Thanks for you help,
bsavarin

A very good start is to watch this (in total 14.5 hours of essential info and it is also funny and easy to follow):

Q what do i need to create a 3d game
I want to learn the C# language but I cant find any up to date tutorials. Most use this progrm that no longer exists. Also How can I use Visual Studio to learn to do C# w/o having to make a game?

A 3D capable Windows Phone would be a good start.
