newbie question: what's extended rom? - MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development

hello,
i just got my MDA II, and i upgraded with the latest t-mobile dutch rom.
and then it installed extended rom. What does it actually mean?
and how comes when i start, i already have 51 MB in use???
my memory status is half empty, how comes?
thanks for your help.
btw, this phone ROCKS!

ext. rom is used by providers to customize their XDA II to work with their network. basically after each hard reset device installs whatever is in Ext. ROM automatically. You can customize it for your own use. search the forums on how to do it.

John, what kalex says is correct. I just like to add a warning. Playing around with the Extended ROM can help an expert getting a very individual result after a hard reset - for a newbee it's quite likely that you put your XDA into a status that it wouldn't work anymore. So, rather rely on what you have...

ok guys, thanx for your advice...

You could just easily flash the official HTC WM6.1 ROM to it.

Make sure it is not locked to any phone provider. If it is locked, flashing will stop before it is completed, and you'll need the original phone provider's ROM to fix this problem.

HTC TYTN Updating problem.

I have HTC TYTN (herm 200) with official 6.0 Rom. Its pretty old and buggy and laggy I know there is beter roms. I just cant decide what would be best for me. I use phone to calls and messaging. Only softwares what i would like to use is MSN messenger and some beter network program that internet explore. I want the rom what is fast and looking nice and stable ofc . I use network only with wlan what is in my home so i dont need eny weather programs etc. Please help me. Im sorry for my bad english but i hope you answer.

Would that be best for me? Seems pretty easy to install. Do i need first install that AT&T? I have official 6.0 anyway.
Should be fine, HOWEVER, you need to install Hard SPL V7 first... If you don't and you brick the hermes then it will probably remain so. Go to the Hard SPL thread (sticky in upgrading) and install that 1st. Then you can use sd card method as long as you have a 2Gb or less card to use.... Its safer than using PC....
i have 1gb (982mb) memory sd card is it enough? i will do that hardSPL soon.
Is this good quide?

[Q] EDGE icon alway shown in notification bar.

Hello everyone, My first post on XDA and yes.... I'm N00B.
I've flashed Alien # 3 (and proper kernel) into my Thailand Atrix. The problem is EDGE icon always showing up even I have deleted all the APNs, though.
I've checked with the operator already that no data transferred from my device.
But this problem is disappear when I used latest Orange FR rom. I've tried many other roms out there in the development section. But all of it come along with this problem.
Please help me to find the cause of this problem and how to get rid of this annoyance.
Thank all of you in advance

same here, flashed a diff radio but won't help either
I can now get rid of this problem. The problem is most ROM here on XDA come with function to detect LTE which is unavailable in Thailand.
I just turn the LTE checking condition off by baksmali-smali SystemUI.apk file.
My level of n00b increase by 1.
@pennzoilgtr, I can suggest you to get rid of this same problem, too. But you need to do this everytime you install new ROM.

[Q] Is any CM avalible for HDC A9100?

(HDC a9100 is a chinese good quality replica of SGS2 with double 3G sim standby)
If there is a way to make HDC a9100 running any CyanogenMod version, write it here, or if there is already one for that phone
I have been browsing for 3hrs and not found anything yet -.-
It actually already runs CM7 but the items giving acces to the settings and the details have been removed in the most china phones, the only one I know having CM7 settings and all still showing is the Z710 ^^
I'll by trying to get Cm7 fully in original state once my phone arrives
*been using mtk6516 before
thanks for answer, it helped
Did you have any luck with this? I can't find any one who has confirmed a custom rom can be succesfully flashed on. I want all the chinese gone from mine...
I will keep posting over here: http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/37450-samsung-galaxy-s2-hdc-a9100-chinese-mtk6573/
And you can root it (see my last comment there), then you can just remove those apps with root explorer.
And the rom it's running is CM7 but it has been quite customized and some apps have been removed, I will be looking into those things.
When I've got everything back to normal CM7 I will relase a update.zip which will remove the chinese apps and restore CM7 to it's original state ^^
Switching it to English made about 90% go English, but about 10% of settings menus still in Chinese. How you you deal with that? I havent used CM7 in about 5 months, so I cant remeber exactly where everything is, plus some has been rearanged.... I will check out your posts at CMforum too.
I will manually translate the remaning chinese parts of the software and create a patch ^^
Also I suggest to install the latest 2.3.4 of the forums link I've given above, installing 2.3.5 is experimental so use with caution.
Also I'm trying atm to get the original CM menu back as it was normally with more options and ofc the themepicker is something I'm working on for sure
Thank you for all of your answers! im really excited about ur idea seahorse!!
Hi there,
I'm just curious if it's also possible to flash to the newer CM9 ?
the phone just come to my attention lately, it looks pretty decent KIRF LOL
and pretty cheap

Where to find HTC Tianxi ROM

Hi everyone,
Please can anyone tell me where to find a good and stable ROM for flashing my HTC Tianxi T9188. My brother brought it back from China and left it with me. Unfortunately, I dont understand the Chinese language it came with and need to flash in an English ROM to be able to use the phone.
Its a shame that I have such a nice phone but cant use it due to the language issue.
Please HELP!!!
scratch that...

Well I was actually hoping that you could point me to a link where I can download the ROM from. I have been searching through google but haven't really found any good one so far.
Please help!!!
HTC Tianxi is the China only released version of the HD2. Some differences - CPU, RAM and TD-SCDMA. To me this seems a slightly lower spec'd phone than the HD2.
Check out pdadb.net - run pdacomparer. Doubt there would be any other language version's. At your own risk you could try some HD2 - built roms or ICS Andriod roms.
Thats the problem tx. I was hoping I culd get an English ROM for the HTC Tianxi T9188 and not have to experiment with the HD2 ROMs, considering that both phones have different hardwares. Thats the risk I dont wanna take cos of the possibility of bricking the phone. I did come across an Android ROM though but I can see CHS in the name of the ROM which tells me that it is still a Chinese ROM all the same.
Another problem I am facing is flashing the HardSPL for the Tianxi. It us using SPL 1.27.0000 and I cant find a hardspl flasher which is compatible with it. I have searched here and in other forums and Google and any other place you can think of, still nothing. Have tried the ones I have seen online and always met an error. Any help here will be most appreciated.
And thanks for taking your time to respond.
Check out thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611433
on SPL,SSPL,HSPL,HSPL2.
If you have SD Card try loading (SD version) in the root and (MAGLDR) boot etc. If that works then it may take NAND versions.
Other than experiment, sorry cant be of more help.
I have tried all the hardspl flashers I can find in the thread you gave ... from HSPL to HSPL4. Non of them could work for the Tianxi. All gave the same BAD ID error and wont flash the HardSPL.
Please help me anyone ... I am getting frustrated by this
