Hi, im new to all this rom upgrading stuff.. infact i wont have an XDA II till tonight :lol: but i hate all the o2 rubbish so i want to create my own rom. Which rom should i use? I want it to be free of as much branding as possible (white boot screen.. or a custom one.. but thats prolly a bit to complicated for a first timer)
Could anybody link me to a working kitchen, a few seem to be broke and i dont want to kill my phone
few other quick Q's aswell - what rom do download from the kitchen if i ever want to restore my phone to the orginal incase it breaks.
Can I remove bits off the main screen, i dont see the point in being told my own name in the owners section all the time
Thanks
Ryanmt
The current available kitchens are for XDA I ROMs only ... XDA II has a different h/w and ROM image
doh! thats stuffed that idea then :lol:
what are my options for getting rid of all the o2 stuff, esp that active screen thingi
Usually, there are some s/w links in the \windows\startup directory that initiate those operator's staff ... just delete those .lnk files .... BE carful not to delay other links by mistake or you will endup doing a hard reset
also, if it has a plug-in foot print, you can uncheck them in start -> settings -> Personal -> Today -> Items
Hi Folks,
I'm using iMate pocket PC which i bought from India. Its awesome while sync with my exchange server and get me entire mailbox of mine to the device.
I also want to check whether i can enjoy the WM2003SE on this device. I have been reading quite a few posts on WM2003SE for XDA here (i'm not sure whether this is the right forum to talk bout the iMate; however, i tried coz i seen a category for HTC).
I know for sure that the vendor has not yet published WM2003SE for iMate PPC. however, Could anybody please let me know if i can upgrade my iMate to WM2003SE (i'm crezy about it and a couple of days back i just decided to use one of the upgrade from this site and somehow cud hold myself as i cud not predict what its going to do with my device ). If its possibel, from where shall I get the upgrade?
thanks in advance.

Hi Columbus,
thanks for the response,
Wud this upgrade work with the iMate Pocket PC from India?
thats what is the concern for me. I have seen threads where we need to modify the .nbf files for the operator / country codes. Do i need to modify the .nbf file for this upgrade?
thanks.

From Today screen, goto START/Settings/System/Device Information.
What's your ROM version/date, Radio version etc?
You can search and check out DCS posting on how to check the operator code on the .nbf files and your devices.
Alternatively, if you are not too worry about changing the operator code (since the upgrade to WM2003SE voids warranty anyway), you can run the upgrade only with HimaUpgradeUt.exe (remove the HimaGetDeviceData.exe and HimaClearJumpCode.exe).
There exists many tutorials/tips from people who have tried the upgrade, so have a good read and copy the important tips.
Some general tips from me:
(a) Backup all your important data (calendar schedule, docs, contacts etc)
(b) Be mentally prepared to spend quite awhile doing the upgrade. Smooth upgrade -> 1-2 hours, Error-prone upgrade -> 1-2 days.
Do not rush, or you will find that 99% of the time, the error happens because you are careless. Always clarify, clarify, clarify.
(c) If encounter errors, copy the sequence of events, EXACT error messages, search for similar errors reported here. If unable to find, post your errors to request for urgent help!
(d) Also, if you have the luxury of a spare phone, keep that handy in case your mobile phone connectivity is indispensable to you.
(e) If all else fails, be prepared for a downgrade back to the original ROM. Remember to download the original WM2003 ROM package as well.
good luck!

Cheers
Hey,
I just ran the himalayut.exe and i'm sure there was no ms_nbf file in the directory
So, I beleive the ext ROM was not present and its not installed.
Can anyone give me a good ext ROM which i can use to with my iMate (asia)?
Thanks.
finally i got the most turn off things i faced in 2005 to back me up to 2003 but after i installed 2005 for the 4th time & desided to stick with it untill i either solve the problem or microsoft will post solution
1. Etisalat Settings for mnet & MMS
(everytime you install them they somehow crash the original DB of messaging where you will not be able to open your mesages anymore untill you do a format
2. and most importantly Arabic reading writing
after long time spent to fix those problems i finally got them working, see screen shoots
yeah ok , great but how u fixed the issues ?
lol am sorry it was a bit hard, & even worse to explain, i writing down something that might help people around doing it once i find an easy way to make it accesseble to people

Post a cab or tell us what you modified in the registry!!!
Waiting, thanks! :?
Oh something else I noticed the radio rom is 1.08.00, can you dump it?
PC) folder, take a copy of your registry after pasting the file & before softreseting the the device, then reset your device, if it will ask you then if you want to run few DLL files acept all of them, then take another copy of your registry & store it in a differant file, now go to your programs & you'll find arabizer file there in which one of them is english name, another one is arabic as '7ayarat & the 3rd one is arabic letters but mirrored in reverse, this will be always your indication if arabic is now working fine, click on this file, it will load couple of other DLLs but will give you some error message about an AOP????? file, don't mind it, now got to your control panel, (Setting) of your mobile & go to the settings Tab, again it will ask you to load some file.cpl say yes, soft reset your device with a software for soft reset not through the pen, then it will load, if you get an error about some file couldn't be loaded just reset few times & it should work, if you lost you signal in gsm, load the first registry file & softreset your mobile again, it will ask you to load some dll file again accept them then go to the settings to load the cpl file, then reset , if this doesn't work load the second resitry file & do the same proccess untill the file with the names reversed is corrected, now enjoy arabic on your system.
اود التنبية على انني لست مسؤلا عن اي مشكلة تطرأ على جهازك و العملية متعبة جدا
PS. if some get this way working for him i please him to put it in a simplified way because unfortunatly i have too little time to spare on rewriting it in an organized way, but once it worked i had to post it here because this is the best site in the world for PPC's & they deserve the best
Thanks mate I'll give a try later on
now that's interesting , thank u
anyone tried it guys am intrested to know
i think the secret is in the registry integrity & the file loading proccess, if you load the arabic files first after reseting the device they will affect the memory or the gsm loading, specifically the file CPROG.EXE which don't get loaded correctly, actually this is how i found i can fix arabic if i only get it loading after cprog & not before, thats why you put the files manually without the setup file so after you reset the device & when it asks you to load the dll files it will insert it in the registry after loading the cprog not before
guys i heared someone tried it withought backing up the registry & it worked perfectly fine, remaining only is the camera & record button & this should be it for me
i think the camera is the last problem , buttons are working fine 8)

sadly it didnt work for me,the device kept hangings on the splash screen,I tried it with wireless on and off, i did hard reset 5 times (2 with clear registery option) but nothing worked,I also upgraded to Radio 1.17 but still didnt work,I couldnt find out what's going wrong (I get prompt to overwrite 3 files while copying them into windows folder) WM2005 1.50h, Radio 1.14 then 1.17
well am not sure but regarding the hard reset only do the clear registry hive option without the format,
hi guys!
we are working for the localize Himlaya WM5.0 to Chinese and Japnese.
On the previouse OS, we need Font and registry, and also need wince.nls which support to encoding to our languages.
without replacement wince.nls, the inbox and IE cant encode to ours.
Usual, we got the wince.nls which has our lamguge support from the device of Japanese or chinese, or take from SDK emulator, or make it ourseleves with MS Platform Builder.
Till the version of WM2003se, easy to replce it.
But new OS of WM5.0, replacement of wince.nls can not be effected, even it was replaced firmly. the OS seems to be ignor that!
@On the Himalaya WM5.0, Some version such like 1.6b, 1.6h, 1.6i can get encooding with new wince.nls, but other version of WM5.0, it was not be able...cant find the reason yet.
@On the Blue Angel WM5.0, also it was ignored by OS
@On the Jasjar just we got, also it was ignored..........
We need find some solution of this system which ignore the replacement of wince.nls.
i already work for that more than 5days ........
I think to localize to Alabian, you guys will have same problems.
Example some of you can replace wince.nls, some of you can not get it.
so if you got some information, please exchange it about that, of course we also let you know if we got it!
Thanks guys!
following is our thread about localize to Chinese / Japanese..
You may know what happened on new OS.

yes. I am using WM5 1.60C WWE, I can not replace the wince.nls in rom with new one.
this is again a simplified version of installing arabic in your WM2005, just install both attached cabs in there sequence & everthing should be working fine
PS am not resposible if it crashes your device but so far it haven't crashed min
to Replacement wince.nls
PLS install this cab,
and place your wince.nls onto \Temp folder
then soft reset. you can replace wince.nls
<exactry saying, not relace.enable to read wince.nls from \Temp frolder>
Rabia, what's so different about your arabizer version?

its the same as my earlier version but before people comlaint about arabic keyboard not getting installed & the need of using a 3rd party arabic keyboard for it to work, also some people had trouble over writing few files & so HOPFULLY this makes the installation far more easier untill Mr Imaginet company decides to develop a fully intergrated 2005 arabizer
Imaginet already created the arabizer for 5.0, but they didn't release it yet as you can see in the JasJar arabized version, we have a new built of arabizer
hi,
can anyone still running the original japanese rom on x01ht share the manner mode executable with me? i don't recall the exact name of that file but i think it was like manner_mode.exe you can find in windows directory.
i had it backed up when i made the rom switch to tytn but i somehow lost it. appreciate it if you could reply to this with that file attached.
thanks in advance...
can anybody help?
Is that the program that activates manner mode by press and holding the comm manager button?
Sorry I don't have it either, I flashed English and would love this functionality back too.
tle,
yup, that's what I'm asking for. i think it will benefit everyone if someone can upload it here.
Isn't it on x01ht ExtROM? If it's not you can probably extract it from the dumped rom.

It's definitely not on the extrom... I've converted a half dozen X01HTs from Japanese to English, and not been able to restore that function. Thanks for the links to the dumped ROM; that should help me get some of the softbank special stuff back...
- awh
hi guys,
it's not on the extrom. it's in the windows directory for sure. i once copied it on my storage card but i lost it when i screwed it by reading that micro sd card with my pc.
pof,
i realized that you might be right saying that it's on the extrom. i recall that it was not a rom file and it was a file copied into the windows directory. i think that means it was installed by one of the sb cab files on the extrom. the only cab file i did not execute was PT_SIMlock_Empty.cab.

I think it's not on this one, this just adds the "annoying screen" for simlock protection by software. If you install this then you need to install SB_USIM.cab to remove the annoying screen.

I agree - I still have the unnerving feeling that some of the content in the extrom actually points to executables somewhere in the ROM. Bad band-aid type code, but what would you expect..? I think I saw similar on the i-mate extrom where it tried to execute parts of the standrard rom after a cold reset..

Dear all members
I saw some bbs mentioned as follow
'there is a file that was conianted in X01HT WINDOWS folder
TrayIcon_MannerMode.exe'
But I'm not sure is it correct?
Manner mode is called in oversea 'silent-mode' or 'flight-mode'
I've flashed my X01HT to Dopod rom so that I can not try it.
anyway let's you try it.
BR,
krnnidtt,
i don't exactly remember the file name but i think the one you saw is the one i am looking for. it's not the "flight-mode" that turns the radio off but it is the same as the "silent-mode" and turns the vibrator on.
you can turn on the vibrator by opening the comm manager and tap on the vibrator icon, but this small exe file i am looking for does the same by just press and holding the comm manager button. when that is on, an icon sits in the tray. not a big deal but it's convenient.
i'll check the dumped rom pof advised.
Now that I understand what "manner mode" is, this might be useful for you too:

hi pof,
thanks a lot for that. it works great and this is what i wanted. i should have searched more to find this thread myself in the first place. now i will find a way to assign this to press and hold state of the comm manager button (button 3).
Warning,
There seems to be problem with WM5 programs and utilities that modifies/changes the wince.nls files.
I used CE-Star2.8R3 on my Atom life prior to upgrading to WM6 and everything was fine. However, once I installed CE-Star2.8R3 on my WM6, I had a lot of trouble browsing SSL websites. Worse yet, I no longer able to do Exchange Activesync with SSL enabled.
I think there is another thread over in the Hermes forum mentioning the same thing about WM6 and wince.nls......
So a BIG WARNING!!!! Don't install anything WM5 that could change or replace the wince.nls just yet.......
There is a simpler way if you want to display Chinese characters in Atom. You can search a .cab named 'O2 Chinese Plus.cab'. I believe you will find it is super after install it. Just solve any Chinese display problems. Much better than CEStar or Monster Chinese, etc. I don't know how it works....Good Luck!
same problem.. this .cab will disable 'windows Live" and "messenger"

I haven't try to disable this O2 Chinese .CAB, if what you said is correct, then I know why other people said the Windows Live worked but mine didn't.
I got it working!!! Installed O2 Chinese Plus. Soft reset.
Go to the Startup folder and delete "usemynls.exe". I don't know what it does, but I know if I delete that, my Windows Live works again.
