Hi all,
I've downgraded to the 2002 Special Edition Rom, and am now missing some ringtones that were part of the WM2003 ROM.
I thought I'd go out looking for some, since the ones included in 2002 kind of suck, but all I'm finding are the tiresome "songs turned into ringtones" on a million sites out there.
What I'm looking for, are some generic, ringtones such as the ones included in the WM2003 ROM's we have in the kitchens, etc.
Anyone know of a good spot to download these types of tones?

ROM upgrade to WM2003 2nd Ed?
So with this great news, does anyone have any idea if/when we will be able to upgrade our current Himalayas to Second Edition?
Hopefully it will be out and available in someone's kitchen soon. I'd sing from the mountain tops in my underwear for simple portrait/landscape switching and a better version of IE. I'd save a bunch of memory by dumping the 2 apps. I use that stuff now.
answer me own question
oh i asked the question about how peeps will get this rom updates ages ago and got absolutely no answers - but a look at brighthand gives some clues:
http://www.brighthand.com/article/When_Will_WM03SE_Updates_Be_Available
so im not betting much on o2 providing a 2nd edition rom update for my xda1.
Hello:
Thank you for this site. I am new to all this. I am not yet ready to use a special edition rom, but I was interested in one of the programs, phoneExt. In fact, I'm mainly interested in distinct ringtones. I installed it on my pocketpc 2002 and it worked except for the distinct ringtones. Then I upgraded to PPC 2003. I installed phoneExt and same thing.
Can anyone help out or point me to another product that allows distinct ringtones per caller?
Thanks in advance.
RingtoneX from MTUX is a good software
if you go from 2003 to the special edition rom then you are downgrading
heck my xda1 came with a newer rom that special edition did
Thank you for the replies. I've heard about RingtoneX, but I liked the fact that phoneEXT is freeware. I decided to give it one more try on 2003 (since it was recommended not to downgrade). So I installed it, put a shortcut in the startup, did a soft-reset, assigned a ringtone to my contact (from the windows/rings directory), and it still didn't work. Any ideas? Or do I really have to remove this and use RingtoneX?
Thanks again.
I have the same problem on my i-mate (ppc 2003). Other folks have it work perfectly. There is an other thread about this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=8788&highlight=
Hope u find it useful
i m using phonExt for long now formerely on my XDA1 and now on my XDA2 both with ppc 2003 and i have no problem playin specific ringtones for every user in my contacts.
just have to put the rings in /windows/rings must be a .wav file
and i define them from the contact list by a long click and the function assign ring tone.
i ve heard many people complaining about phoneext on XDA2 (with ppc 2003).
And i do not understand really, i did nothing specific, just installed the soft and made a shortcut of the exec in the startmenu.
i used in in the extendded personalised rom made with the rom kitchen when i had my XDA1.
well do i have a magic XDA2 or a magic ppc2003 .... i doubt.
I too doubt that you have a magic XDA, but I did all of that. Perhaps my version of the software is older or has bugs. Can you tell me where you got yours or give me a copy (afterall it is freeware)?
Can it be related to the way that phone numbers are in the contacts? For example mine are generally of the format # (###) ###-####, but when I get a call, it does show the contact's name...
man it's been a little while since i properly redid my phone!...this sites become pretty disorganised now!
i wish to upgrade to 2003se (wm5 is not an option due to my need for backpack)
now i see there is 2 versions.
2.06WWE - native english, doesn't seem to be riddled with too many problem
2.20 CH translate to EN loads of people moaning about this that and the other and many also suggesting its much better than 2.06
so what is the major differences (aside from wmp10 (i dont care as long as mp3s play))
what needs to go in the ext rom...there are lots of things about font fixes and button mapping. mms etc... is there a recommended ext rom that should deal with all the hassles.
what radio rom is recommended .19?
thanks alot
ps if someone can give me some decent details on it ill write it up in the wiki
First off, I need to thank everyone on this site for the wealth of information that is contained here. I took my stock XV6800 and walked through several tutorials and I've put on 4 different ROM's in 2 days, all of them with the GPS functioning like a champ and everything on the phone running swimmingly.
A special thanks to mr-free for his prompt responses and dcd for his excellent guides.
Anyway, I've already used two kitchens so far to make custom roms (Titan Kitchen 6.5 Beta 4, and Titan Reloaded 1.3.2). Both create very usable ROM's but there's aspects of each that I like better than the others. Since Kitchen 6.5 uses WM 6.5, I'd like to start with that one, but there are several OEM packages that I would like to add to it from Titan Reloaded, as well as a couple of other ones that I've found from the web.
And so I'm not flamed, I have searched and found the following information about Alex's Cooking Kits helpful, but still not completely sufficient to answering my questions:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Kaiser ROM Kitchen Tutorial
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Alex's Cooking Kits
And on to the questions:
1) Is it possible to just copy the folders from the OEM folder of the Titan Reloaded 1.3.2 kitchen into the OEM folder of the 6.5 Beta 4 Kitchen and have them show up in the "BuildOS" menu?
2) Are the instructions in Alex's Cooking Kits applicable to the Titan? Its geared towards the Kaiser, and I couldn't find anything that would lead me to believe it is compatible with the Titan. If not, is there a "Cooking Kit" suitable for the Titan?
I'm not to the point where I'm capable of creating my own OEM packages, but I'm gunning for that too eventually. No questions on that though...yet.
The only question I can help with is your first. The OEM packages from Titan Reloaded 1.3.2 should be able to be copied into pretty much any kitchen.
Note that the Manila_2d_Scott OEM from Titan Reloaded kind of depends on the SYS\dcd_UCAutorun package, as it installs the first M2D theme from CAB at boot. This may be fixed in later versions by making a seperate config.txt for m2d. That way the OEM package will be more portable.
Note that the Youtube package from Titan Reloaded also requires the YTFIX package, but those will hopefully be merged in later versions.
Other than that, you just need to watch out for conflicting packages. Usually buildos will give you errors if this happens, so you'll know.
Awesome, that's really helpful.
Actually m2d is not something I was planning on keeping anyway. I'm moving from a Samsung i760 (dreadfully unhackable) but in an attempt to make it more usable, I actually paid for SPB Mobile Shell, and SPB Phone Suite. I've gotten quite addicted to using them and I don't find m2d to be a sufficient replacement for primarily the lack of ring profiles. Ring/Vib/Silent just isn't enough for me. (And PhoneAlarm doesn't have what I need either.)
What I was looking to move though was:
Adobe Reader 2.5
YouTube (with the YTFIX, now, obviously)
HTC Album
Tweak_Volume_Higher
no2chem_nueExtROM
There aren't any dependencies there that I need to be aware of, are there?
I couldn't find Google Maps in the OEM folder from Titan Reloaded but its no big deal, I can download it I guess.
I guess I should have mentioned that to use the no2chem_nueExtROM package, you'll need to add these lines to the bottom of ROM\XIP\boot.rgu.
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\ EXT_FLASHDRV]
"DefaultFileSystem"="FATFS"
"Name"=""
"PartitionDriver"=""
"MountHidden"=dword:0
"Folder"="Extended_ROM"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\ EXT_FLASHDRV\FATFS]
"FormatTFAT"=dword:1
"EnableWriteBack"=dword:1
"EnableCache"=dword:0
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\AutoLoad\ EXT_FLASHDRV]
"DriverPath"="Drivers\\BuiltIn\\EXT_FLASHDRV"
"LoadFlags"=dword:1
"Order"=dword:12
"Bootphase"=dword:2
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\EXT_FLASHDRV]
"Profile"="EXT_FLASHDRV"
"Index"= dword:1
"Dll"="OEM_FLASHDRV.dll"
"Prefix"="DSK"
"Order"=dword:13
"IClass"=multi_sz:"{A4E7EDDA-E575-4252-9D6B-4195D48BB865}"
It's possible that this is what's causing some people problems with Titan Reloaded 1.3.2 though. If you've already used Titan Reloaded 1.3.2, you probably don't have to worry about this. It might not even be the cause though. Most people are having no problems with it.
Also, based on someone's post in the 6.5 ROM thread, you'll likely want to remove this file from the kitchen before adding in an adobe reader package:
SYS\OEMAPPS\ppc_adobereaderle.exe
Titan Reloaded installs GoogleMaps from CAB during customizations. Since Google is likely to upgrade the app often, I'd recommend that you just download it and install like you said.
Those are the only caveats I can think of for the packages that you mentioned.

x2 .. I find that loading programs as CABs or during customizations
is a damm cool and a better idea then loading it all in the ROM,
just having that options to remove something is a very good feeling lol
FYI: I got the ok from s10onn2o to upload a clean built 6.5 beta ROM
not kitchen .. the ROM is what I use .. got a few things fix and a few more stuff
cleaned up.. also has some basic missing apps, WM Office 6.1 + notes, Adobe,
sweet TF2D dialer, etc.. etc..

Heh, I've got a little more patience than "Give it to me now!" but yes, this does sound very nice. The omission of Office was also something that was really bugging me about 6.5.
In the meantime I ended up playing around with PPCkitchen and WOW are there a lot of packages. Too many actually. It takes me 15 minutes to go through them all. The build I'm running today is pretty good, but I still wish I was running WM6.5. I'm sure I'll come across your ROM once you've got it uploaded. XDA is rapidly becoming one of my favorite sites (and not to mention a huge time sink!!)
Anyone can add office to 6.5. Just get the oem from BuildOS and put it in the oem folder for beta 4,
Wow, its that easy huh?
I think I'll just do that then! This place rules!
Heyy ya'll,
I recently updated my MDA Vario IV with the new rom, and i noticed the changed a few things.
for example the wheather tab has been replaced with a mobileTV tab. and the flip clock has also ben removed. there is also a Web n widget tab added which is pretty nice, but i really want the weather tab back and de flip clock.
can anybody help me?
Did you try looking at the settings to see if the tabs were there and just not active?
yeah i did, and all the tabs are active...
tnx for the suggestion tho.. any other thoughts?
Not familiar with the MDA Vario ...
I've been using mostly ROMs from here for a while. You may want to try to reload the TF3D from XBox. That will bring back the weather for sure and the flip clock. You can download Manila TV and add that in. Not sure what you could do for Web n WIdget Tab, but I would do a search on all three:
Web n Widget Tab
Manila TV
Manilla Complete Xbox
and you should be able to just load them up.
Also, do a search on TF3D or Manilla and you will find a lot of pages that have work that folks have done for all kinds of fonts, clocks, tabs, highlites, etc.
Hope this helps
sorry for the late reply.. been having some problems with my internet..
anywho i'll be sure to try this tnxx
well i tried it but it did work
probably because the t-mobile rom is 1.95 version??
Is your Startmenü also black background with black text? The 1.95 ROM of T-Mobile was only for couple of minutes on my Vario, it's the worst I have ever seen... After that I installed a Win Mobile 6.5 ROM with TF3D2 and now I'm happy
really cool.. can you tell me wich version you installed of win mobile 6.5? i would like to install that one 2
Not sure what version Kobip has installed. I'm currently using the latest from NRG his second 23009 build. And it works great. It does not have the Manila TV in the ROM and I haven't tried to install it separately.
Also, the latest Chrome ROM is nice and has the manilla tv already installed.
Ahen's ROM has some nice visual enhancements to it as well.
I think you've probably only been using the "official" release ROMs which from my experience aren't near as nice as what you will find here.
You'll want to unlock your phone...HardSPL etc. See the Sticky by Olipro on the Raphael ROM page. This not only allows you to flash non T-Mobile ROMs, but will help prevent you from "bricking" your phone.
You'll find that the customizations that you can do once you get away from the stock ROMs will make your phone look and perform better.
Good Luck
tnx for the tips mwcostello
I also tried the HardSPL.. but the screen goes black and resets.. it doesn't install the win 6.5 rom. don't really know what i am doing wrong.
Could you maybe posted the links here? i'm kinda a noob on this site
i can verify that the latest NRG ROMs work well on the MDA Vario IV
have a nosey at the 'flashing for noobs' thread in this forum - HardSPL is only the start of flashing ......
or feel free to PM me ... but be aware im no expert or chef

Great points...let me add to it
Here is the Raphael Wiki:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Raphael
The wiki is laid out nicely and has tons of information. Scroll down to "GSM Upgrading/cooking/flashing:"
I don't remember if it was with the Raphael that I had to do some of the work arounds or not... I also Hard SPL and Unlocked a Hermes and Kaiser (8525 and Tilt). With one of them, I believe it was the last option for SSPLs... so don't lose faith...
heyy guys,
checked out the raphael wiki and i've been enjoying the the standard energyrom for quite some time now and it looks great!
the only thing is some of my hard keyboard buttons dont work like they're supossed too.. any ideas?
