XDA2 Customization Settings - MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development

Hi,
I want to start thread to discuss some of the customization settings that are used by different extended ROMs provided by the OEMs.
One of those settings I am curious about is
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\CellBroadcast]
"Language"=dword:00000001
On the German O2 ROM this is set to 0. On T-Mobile NL and Qtek this is set to 1.
What is CellBroadcast? Probably this corresponds to the "Broadcast Channels" setting in "Settings=>Phone=>More"?
Some settings that are also quite interesting are located in the TM_phone_class10.cab file of the T-Mobile NL extended ROM:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\PhoneExtendFunction]
"EnableCPHSONS"=dword:00000001
"GPRSAuthenticationSlot"=dword:0000000a
"Class0SMSRoute"=dword:00000001
"CSDISDNEnable"=dword:00000001
"CBSTName"=dword:00000000
"CBSTSpeed"=dword:00000047
"CBSTCe"=dword:00000001
"GPRSAuthenticationMethod"=dword:00000001
"NoGPRSAutoAttach"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Phone]
"Flags2"=dword:00000008
"Group"=dword:00000000
Does anyone no something about these settings?

how to understand CM_Entries ?
Hello Folks
I had to generate a personally rom for a customer project and found there a file where is an CM_Entries.xml in there, makes some configuration for WAP, GPRS and so on.
How does it work?
why so complicated?
Why not easy writing some keys to the registry with an cab manager like http://www.ocpsoftware.com/products.php?nm=cecabmgr?
whatfor is the CHECKFILE.EXE and the CESetup.dll ?
how are these files conected together?
Does anybody of you know??

To all you WM2003 Users out there

Hi,
Can anyone using WM2003 check to see if they have a "MORE" tab under Phone>Tools>Options and let me know the version.
The 4.00.11 version of WM2003 I got from Jeff's Kitchen does not have the "MORE" tab dispite the Microsoft Mobile site saying it should have!!! :?
mine does
Mine does. Its a USA 900/1900 T-Mobile device with 4.0.16 OS, 6.24 radio.
BTW: The radio version alters whats in Tools-options. e.g. the USA devices have a 'band' tab.
cheers,
..lance
Mine does not. T-Mobile device, 4.00.16, radio 6.24.00. Another device here with the same versions also does not.
Maybe this is related to a SIM feature?
nope
Mine does not. PPC 2002 on my XDA had it.
I've got an O2 XDA with 4.00.16 and Radio 4.21
I have got both the More and the Band tab.
Dear,
If all ROMs of yours are from Jeff's Kitchen, I think the presence of "More" option is optional when you cook your own ROM.
Thanks for the info guys,
I think it's a "feature" of 4.00.11, but I will check on Jeff's Kitchen for Ken_xda's suggestion when it comes back online. As Aurora13 has the same Radio as me but a different ROM, I will try an upgrade although I would rather have a UK ROM than a US one.
Mine does and I'm running a T-Mobile device, ROM 4.00.16 and AT&T radio stack A.20.10.
BTW my ROM came from a bin file install that I downloaded
from Aurora13's FTP site when it was active.
HTH
I too have just upgraded to ROM 4.00.16 and radio v6.24 (thanks Qman)...I do not have the "More" and "Band" options either - I remember having them under 2k2. Are these features important enough to request Aurora13 to repost the bin file? Should I revert to 2k2?
Good question!
As far as the "Band" option goings I'm sure you're safe if you plan only to use the phone in the Country/Region that your SIM card is set to. If not you
can always change if from the bootloader.
Now as for the "More" option goes it has the following Options:
Automatic pickup
Answer incoming calls without pressing Talk after xxx rings
Hardware button lock
Lock all buttons except Power button
Do not lock buttons
Broadcast Channels
Enable
HTH

Can this More" option" be retrieve any way on WM2003 4.00.11 i.e setting :idea: :?:
Hi All,
I've done a bit of fiddling. I downloaded ROMs for 3.17.00, 4.00.05, 4.00.11 and 4.00.16 from Jeff's Kitchen and tried all of them with Radio 4.21 from UK O2. The only one that gave me the MORE tab was 3.17.00. none of the 4.00.xx versions did.
I would like to try with a different Radio ROM but I don't have the previous version prior to te upgrade to 4.21. Can anyone tell me where to get an earlier version.
Hmmz strange I have the O2 Radio 4.21 and the 4.00.16 (kitchen) ROM, but I DO have the More tab!
O2 XDA with 4.00.16
Hello, Posible to download O2 XDA with 4.00.16 or 4.00.11 (not ROM Kitchen), where ftp? or site download?
Thanks
Wow you can download a XDA? I had to buy mine in a shop!
Maybe we can download the O2 XDA II already somewhere?
But seriously: if you don't select the extra options on the kitchen page, you get a 'standard' 2003 ROM.
The band-switching feature is particularly important. Any time I've ever switched bands using the bootloader method (using bootloader 5.15, ROM 4.00.05, Radio RA.20.10) I always seem to end up accidentally doing a hard reset. Very frustrating. I've learned to always backup to SD first, but what a pain. I travel to Europe reasonably often (just got back from T-Mobile country (DE) yesterday) and would love to have the tab back. I just looked at Jeff's kitchen again, and I can confirm that there's no option there to add the More and Band tabs (there's an option to add the BandSwitch program, but as the page says, and I can confirm, it doesn't work with the 4.xx.xx ROMs).
I'll try 4.00.16 to see if the Tabs come back.
PS - That config (ROM 4.00.05, RA.20.10) has worked great in UK and Germany for me... I've roamed all over and get as good as I can get considering I'm running at 900 while I'm there.
PPS - Maybe this has something to do with stk.lnk or HTC SAT (/windows/stk.exe) which seems to always hang at startup on my system?
No Band or More Option and HTC Sat Also Hangs
I've upgraded to ROM 4.00.11, Radio 4.17.00. I do not have the More or Band Tabs.
I also suffer from HTC SAT hanging at bootup.
Otherwise everything good.
I have an O2 XDA and in Australia

Feedback for the new O2 UK 1.72 ROM Upgrade.

I have created this topic to try and get all feedback specific to this upgrade into one place.
So if you have comments, issues, problems, opinions or just plain questions about this upgrade, post them here.
great job dcs.
let me be the first to post and it's regarding Incoming MSG.
When i first got my unit from Philippines, it was loaded with 1.66WWE and with this version i was able to select preloaded or customized WAV as incoming SMS tone. But it went missing when i upgraded to Waxx's 1.72 and even now to the latest o2 UK 1.72. Anyone else experiencing this?

Personally, I find the performance to be improved and also stability. Also, when a call comes in, the Answer button on the dialog works, which didn't before. As part of the extended ROM, O2 have provided improved video streaming over GPRS plus video for MMS (I haven't used either yet). The OS itself has the Microsoft user update 2 included. Of course, the 181 release also has Blackberry included.

OK. Strange, but at least you are sorted
Edit: Maybe it is something in O2 Active that causes the problem? I have uninstalled it, so perhaps I am unaffected. Could other people with O2 Active still installed throw light on this?
msn
Hi, I have installed the new rom (1.72.187). Everything is ok but Messenger. I can surf web sites using gprs and wifi but i cant connect msn. I always get the same error. "Logon to MSN Messenger failed because the service temporarily unavailable." But i can connect with my laptop. Any idea? thanks....
dcs,
have you tried Battery Pack Pro v1.1.10 on this? The last time i used this with 1.66WWE, i keep getting total blackout on my XDA2 with Bluetooth light steady blue and i hard to perform hard-reset. since then i was afraid to try again.

Have you applied the latest patch from Microsoft? Take a look here: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/downloads/msnmessenger/pocketpc.mspx
It does state that you cannot access the service unless it is applied. Quote: "Customers without the updated software will not have access to the Service until the download has been completed."

I also have identical experience using the Battery Pack Pro v1.1.10 on 1.60 WWE. Being scared to have a try on 1.72. Should anyone pioneer on this, please also let me know. Thanks
Blackberry?
I'm trying to understand what the benefits of having Blackberry are. The Blackberry website says you get all the stuff which I'm sure I already have with my XDA. Things like e-mail and IE. Except for my e-mail which is blocked by my ISP, Plus.net (I can only view/download e-mails, not send new ones).
What's the big improvement I'm supposed to get with Blackberry? :?

I am running v1.1.1 with no problems on the v1.72 Rom. Worked fine with 1.60 also but no experience of v1.66.
have already installed New ROM 1.72.187
in this ROM, i think it work faster than 1.60 but liked other 1.72 ROM from T-mobile.
In the Ext ROM ,it doesn't include some software such as GPRS monitor.
Now ,I desired to cook it.
More stable without question. Only thing that I have found is that the O2 logo can't be moved. Dam thing stuck in middle of title bar. BT Tools works ok. Better wapsupport for o2 active, though XDA seems to forget it's connected and will drop connection and reconnect when conecting to O2's wap service.
Still it's a worthwile update.
I am having problems with Fonix voice dial. When I adda voice tag I get an error that it cannot update, hard or soft reset doesnt help. Also if I restore my backup using the built in backup program I find that streaming video and blackberry programs both vanish from my xda 2.
Feed back
looking good so far. I have added all my apps including BPP 1.1.1 and everything works fine.
SRS now works as well whereas before it trashed my xda II
I am from Asia but installed this UK o2 ROM and found its totally working good.
However, one thing is the autoconfig function has gone.
Anyone knows how to get this from the previous AISA rom?
Blackberry Config
Anyone been successful with this yet?
Ive activated the install and the BB client tries to connect somewhere over GPRS, but eventually suspends itself.
Ive got access to our Corporate BES so should be able to get it working. However, there seems to be some mention in the ROM upgrade guide about a desktop client manager (needed on PC to download the policy).
Ive seen posts that say O2 is not making it availble until Jan 05 - anyone confirm?
Oh, and Im actually using Vodafone

[Update 6] Today plugin for dual sim holders

Here it is a Today Screen plugin that allows the display of the IMSI code (or a custom label for it) of the current active Sim. Works for all dual Sim solutions allowing to always know which is the SIM in use.
From my personal experience I prefer the use of simple power on-off solutions because they consume the same amount of energy of a normal SIM. The digital solutions provide a nice STK application but the resource consumption is not acceptable (especially for HTC Hermes). This plugin solve the main problem of the simple power on off Dual Sim holders: knowing which is the active Sim.
Configure your custom labels in the Today option dialog for the specific item (Dual SIM Today).
Update:
Added menu to switch with a single click between the sim (works only for power on off adapter)
Added the operator name associated to the SIM
Some bugs fixed
Update 1:
Added configuration parameter to:
Activate the display of operator name
Define the Sim switch mode: traditionally with a menu or directly with a tap & hold on the today screen (with the stylus or the scroll wheel)
Some bugs fixed
Update 2:
Added an option to disable the switch functionality
Added the capabilty to open the option dialog directly from the today screen
Update 3:
Direct access to the menu with the action button (or scroll wheel) without menu gesture
Fixed bug in the highlight of the plugin
Update 4:
Fixed bugs in the management of option dialog
Update 5:
Show the last switch time
Update 6:
Fixed operator name redraw
@forum users; help me in setting the priority of the enancements; currently they:
. support for Stk adapter
. support for dialin adapter
. check sim (periodically verify that the right sim is active)
. automatic switch based on specific rules
...
If the tool is useful for you feel free to donate something

I really do not understand your question. Could you please explain it better? The plugin already shows his interface in the Today screen and can be configured in the standard way. Do you want the plugin show the operator name or some other information?

JPW, I have your same configuration in term of base software (except for Hermes, mine is an Hermes 200) and it works. Did you tried the plugin immediatly after the reset?
In order to understand what happened can you write details of the problem? when does the hermes hang? during installation, configuration, etc? What other software do you have?
Thanks and sorry for the problem.
Is it specific to Hermes somehow, or should it work on any WM5 device?
Can it be used with multi-SIM SIM cards (like 16-in-one), or it is somehow intended only for (some?) dual-SIM adapters?

It is not related to Hermes. It uses standard Windows Mobile APIs. I tested it on Hermes and WM6 (Black 2.0 and 2.5) but it should work on every devices with WM 2003 and up.
The basic plugin should also works for every multi sim card. The functionality to switch the active card is currently working only for power "on off" dual sim card (I'm developing a version that works also for digital dual sim holder).

Hello, Pelargonium
I enclose a photo to you with which I consider that he would be ideal. To integrate the DualSIm Plugin in the Wireless Plugin, since space is saved.
I have a SIMORE GOLD that works perfectly with the TYTN, although the change I have it to do with menu of own dualsim. The one of plugin does not work to me. I hope to help but that to bother, and again, pardon by my english.

Hi, I think you're product is great, just what I've been looking for BUT... I'm afraid to say it doesn't quite work. I have an early dual sim adaptor (cut) that requires the phone to be turned off/on to switch. I'm running it on a Orange M600 (prophet) with Jesterz 2.20 rom. Your switcher switches the phone off OK and then back on... BUT it doesn't register on the network.. just gives me a "!" next to the little signal icon. It displays the right number for the sim and all just doesn't fully re-establish the signal. I have also loaded a WM5 version of WIVIT sim switcher (from this group) but as it doesn't allow me to define my own number it's no good. However, when I have WIVIT loaded and on screen, YOUR product works fine.
I would rather just use your product. Any clues on how I might be able to fix this?
Thanks
Dave.

@qdavhen, I tested the plugin only on Hermes with different WM6 Rom, because I don't have other devices. let me test it on the WM5 sdk emulator and I'll give you a feedback.
Thanks Pelargonium,
I've found that after running your program if I go into phone options and select "Find Network" then the phone starts again. I've been doing some digging around and *think* it might have something to do with needing to wait longer between switching off and then back on again... hope this helps.

Fixed and updated the first post. I've also added the name of the current operator. Please try it and give me a feedback.
Thanks
Pelargonium.
Pelargonium,
Works a treat! Thanks! A couple of small changes that would make this perfect... you have added the operator (eg. O2-UK - 123456789) I would suggest removing the minus sign AFTER the operator and just leave a space. Also rather than tapping and holding and then selecting "switch sim" is it possible to have it switch sim automatically when tapping and holding? These are just small things. Otherwise it is fantastic! Dave.

MWg Atom Life & T-Mobile (USA)

Hello Everyone!
My first post here... hopefully someone can help me out here before I start "taking chances" and flashing my new MWg Atom Life. (I've never had good luck flashing ROMs, so it's a bad thing for me... lol)
Anyways, I have a BlackBerry Pearl 8100 (the original one) and my Atom Life (pre-loaded with WM6) just arrived today. So I went over to the T-Mobile store and had them replace my BlackBerry Connect Data plan with their "T-Mobile Total Internet Add-on".
Now, keep in mind that I have done alot of custom .NET CF development on WM and have used it alot as part of the testing process for those applications, but for the life of me, I can't seem to figure out how to connect to T-Mobile's EDGE network. I've configured the ISP/Modem settings correctly (and tried both "internet2.voicestream.com" and "internet3.voicestream.com") BUT everytime I try to turn on the "Data" session, it says that it "Cannot connect for an unknown reason".
I can make and receive phone calls just fine and the GSM network is automatically detected as "T-Mobile". Any suggestions to get the data plan working?
Thanks in advance!
Here's what worked for me (Atom Life/Windows Mobile 6 and T-Mobile USA), just follow the steps below in "paint by numbers" fashion:
Go to Settings -> Connections Tab -> Connections icon, then...
Under GPRS Settings, "Add a new modem connection"
Next page: Enter a name (I used "T-Mobile Data") and select "Cellular Line (GPRS)" - Note that choosing simply "Cellular Line" will not work, must be GPRS.
Next page: Access Point Name: wap.voicestream.com
Leave the next page blank and the Advanced settings at their default, and just click "Finish"
Let me know if that works for you.
And while you're at it - once you get Edge going, let me know how you handle voicemail notifications. I don't get a VM "flag" from T-Mobile, and my work-around - YouMail - doesn't seem to be able to send text messages to my device (interesting, since I get all other text messages). That's my biggest (my ONLY) problem with the Atom Life and T-Mobile - having to guess if I have a voicemail message.
Lee
Those are the exact same steps I followed, but I put in 'internet2.voicestream.com' AND 'internet3.voicestream.com' instead of 'wap.voicestream.com', since according to this Wiki, I have to use the other ones: http://wiki.howardforums.com/index.php/T-Mobile_Data
I went ahead and tried your suggestion anyways and it is now working, although I don't know if there are any port/connection limitations when the 'wap' access point is used.
At this point, everything has become more and more frustrating. The firmware is very buggy and the slightest program crash takes everything down requiring a power-cycle. Then the my date/time settings get lost everytime I do that (while everything else remains there).
Do I have a bad ROM? Should I re-flash it? If yes... from where would I get the official firmware again? Remember, this is an MWg branded Atom Life that was purchased in the USA from Expansys, so I don't know which firmware/ROM I should get for this.
Interesting. I bought the black MWg Atom Life and had issues with the ROM, too. Extensys told me to go to the MWg site and download the latest ROM, but none of the ROM downloads would install (ROMs were IMEI-specific, and my IMEI was not listed). So I upgraded to the XDA (White) Atom Life, branded with the original O2 rather than MWg, and I like the ROM version a lot more (has all the original O2 software).
It sounds like your ken with these devices is likely keener than my own, but the first time I loaded my device it too was prone to crashes. It had this annoying habit of refreshing the screen at random intervals - not as in refresh rates but as in the screen going blank for a second and then redawing itself. I resolved the issue by doing a hard reset and re-installing my software, soft-resetting after each install. It then ran smoothly for a few days, but when I realized I was missing a lot of good software, I decided to switch to the Limited (white) XDA version. Right from the get-go, the O2 seems much more stable than the MWg; hardware is identical save for the color, so it's the firmware.
I should add that Extensys has so far been really good to deal with - very helpful and they seem interested in keeping me a happy customer. Rare, yet so refreshing. Don't be afraid to call them about this.
atom life on t-mobile usa
i am using the atom life (mwg version, running 6.0) on t-mobile. if anyone comes up with a fix for the email notification icon, let me know.
also, anyone knows whether voice commander will announce incoming calls on this phone (right now, it does not!) let me know!
thanks.

So there is one problem I am having with T-mobile and my Atom Life is that since I got it I get the VM flag on my phone but I DO NOT HAVE ANY VM's! I searched for this all over the net but seems like I'm the only one who has that problem and everyone has the opposite problem of no VM flag at all and they have to guess for voicemail. If anyone knows anything that can be done please tell me.
Thanks

VoIP Finally

I have been trying to set up a VoIP client on my Windows Mobile phone for a long time, starting with the HTC Wizard which I could never get to work.
I have finally managed to get a VoIP client with a really nice interface working on several phones that I have tried it on.
I am using ViaTalk as my provider but it should work with any VoIP provider.
It works great (with a slight delay, nothing that I can't live with) on an unlocked HTC Sprint Touch Pro 2, a T-Mobile HD2, a HTC Diamond and an HTC Fuze.
The application is by NCH software out of Australia and it is free to use, or if you want to unlock all of the features of the application, download and register the business edition.
Here is the URL for the download:
http://www.nch.com.au/talk/pocket.html
Or if you would like, PM me and I will be happy to send it to you as an attachment to an email.
Only known issue is when the phone goes in to power saver mode it drops the WiFi connection but that should be an easy fix, right now I am simply pressing the power button and it comes right back and the connection is still alive.
wow men! you are amazing! you search better than me xD you have a paid version? or free version?

I am using the paid version but the only difference is that it unlocks some additional features that most people proably don't need anyway.
It is not trialware so it has no expiration.
thx you man, i'm trying this app since yesterday; works good!! easy to configurate, i'm using the free version because; i don't have 2 line, i don't use conferente mode... but it will be interesting trying these features xD
How does this app compare to AgePhone?
Hello,
why not to give a try to PortGo !
http://www.portsip.com/softphone.htm
The free version is sufficient and very simple to use, even with several providers (I currently use 2). Skin and language are easy to adapt if necessary (I've made it for French), see also here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=508715

I really couldn't tell because I have never tried AgePhone.
I have tried most of the different VoIP clients mentioned throughout this site but I have never been able to get one to work right until I tried this one.
It could be that I am too stupid to configure them right or it could also be that they simply don't work very well, I can't say.
As for PortSIP, I never got it to work right and the developer dropped off line a while back as far as I can remember.
This little VoIP client that I am using has got a clean interphase, it is easy to configure, it does not require any special "helper" apps. so I am happy with it.
Hope that some of you enjoy it too.
I sincerely don't know the use of that softphone over the built-in VoIP for WinMo (WM65VoIP.cab, ultimate.VOIP.WM6.5.cab - available in several threads here) - except you need 2 lines? Especially as these guys do not use the WinMo address book! I don't want to manually add 600 adresses to any additional phone book.
The above mentioned cabs integrate into WinMo and use WiFi or 3G-connections. The phone rings as ususal and displays who called (from WinMo address book). The call is even entered into WinMo callog (only disadvantage: You don't see if a call was made/received via GSm or VoIP). I use them on my TP2 (WinMo 6.1), HD2 (WinMo 6.5.5) and even had a cab file for HTC Artemis (WinMo 5). All works/worked pretty well
So what's the use of these softphones?
Cheers, Franky

I have mine set so that the light always stays on until I turn it off(I turn off auto back-light, my preference). So, no issues there. Additionally, I think there is a setting or app that will allow WiFi to run even while the phone sleeps. Or perhaps it is set into a low-power mode until the power key is pressed?
Howto in France ?
It seems great but how could I make it work in France.
My provider (mobile or at home) is SFR.
Thanks in advance to all for your answers.
Setup file attached to original post
I finally got around to attaching the setup file to my original post so it can now be downloaded directly from this site
Hi,
I suggest to please change the title to "Express Talk for WM".
I already tested it on my Ultimate 8502. I can call but can not receive incoming call. It ring but after receiving, it stop ringing with no active call and no sound. Any solution?
thanks

After installing Pocket Talk and configuring it I get the message that my handheld device is blocking UDP port no 8000 and 5060. Of course it isn't but I can't make callas. Has anyone had the same problem?
installation unsuccessful
It fails to install for me...
I connect my HTC Mega (Windows Mobile 6.5, moded rom), I start the setup, my phones screen shows the installer but than says "Installation of NCH Swift Sound Pocket Talk.CAB was unsuccessful"
Doesnt matter if I choose MainMemory of StorageCard.. there is plenty of free space on both of them.
Any Ideas? Are there any prerequisites? I checked the NCH forum but couldnt find any help...
PS: trying to install directly from the .cab it leaves on my storage card wont work either
Hi sorry for my bad english, setup doesn't work on my hd2 why???

Myself some hours ago said:
I'm also using WMVoIP and my phone is enabled by default to use VoIP when wi-fi gets enough data traffic, so I don't need other VoIP apps except for second lined. Usually I switched off the phone radio and whitched on the wifi radio and VoIP wasd enabled as default phone line.
But my problem is now I can use VoIP over 3G at no penalization from my phone provider, and I can't set my phone to use VoIP by default.
Is there a way to set VoIP the first option and phone the second one, using 3G (not wifi) ?

Editing: I found this xda-dev's app here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=730303 and it works fine with one SIP line, in my Kaiser, even using 3G instead of wifi.
Thanks !
It works fine on my HTC Touch Pro cdma with wm6.1.
But I don't like the fact I can't use my original contact list...
Hey Guys,
Im wondering what would be better for me, Im based in the UK and I want to know if Using a VoIP Service such as Skype or get a Dedicated Phone line put into my address? what do you guys think?
