I now have a select few programs i use with my XDA II (sprite, Informant etc etc) which i would like to incorporate into a rom image for when i hard reset my XDA II. I also want to remove all the 02 stuff as i use the phone in Spain.
ER2003edit can do this from what i can see, but i would like to get the exact rom image of what i have already as it works fine.
any links much appreciated.
PS is there a program to make the files i want to auto install into cabs ?

You can get the original extended ROM (that is on your XDA at the moment) from http://www.my-xda.com/downloads/xda2_upgrade_download.html
Open it in ER2003Edit and remove everything apart from:
Broadcast_WWE.sa.CAB
CameraRC132_WWE_1.5.sa.CAB
OEM_WWE_04021801.CAB (might not need this, not sure)
Version_AKU1.sa.CAB
Everything else you can get rid of if you want, things like TaoJava might be useful though.
As far as getting the CAB files for any apps you want to install, that's easy. First, install the app from your PC to your Pocket PC. Then on your PC go to c:\program files\Microsoft Activesync\ and there should be a folder for every app you've ever installed. Copy the CAB file (or the CAB file with ARM in the name if theres more than one) into the ROM.
Remember to update the Config.txt file in the ROM after you've done all this.
thanks for the detailed reply, everything seems clear enough.
The only problem though is the rom version i have is different to the one posted on the web site, and would really like to stick to this version as it runs flawlessly. the rom i need is :
1.66.00WWE
02/20/04
1.10.00
1337.18
1.66.181
thanks

Yup.. yup.. yup.. maybe thats the thing... cuz when i used the DCS ExtROM with Version_OU it says that my ExtROM is 2.06.100a and when i installed the ExtROM asian Version provided by one of our kabayan.. with version_BA it says that my ExtROM are now 1.something.something... but anyway heres the file.
And one thing... what is the use of:

Cuz when i deleted those files... my device increased a bit of speed when reset...
again.. is it safe to delete those files? Thanx again...

By first flashing with the 2.02.t1WWE ROM (& 1.18.00 Radio + Extended ROM), then setting up BT and detecting all devices but before adding additional software, I ran an ActiveSync backup. The reason I used ActiveSync was to capture the registry and system state but not an image of the whole ROM.
I then flashed with the 2.06.00WWE ROM + 1.18.00 Radio & Extended ROM, but this time I restored from the ActiveSync backup. Rather than what I expected (everything good about 2.06 to be blown away), ActiveSync restore did a merge of the 2 registries and overwrote the files not in use.
The end result came as a surprise:
I now have a version 2.06.00WWE that doesn't hang/delay on reboot, runs faster, looks great with cleartype and now has BT Handsfree as an option. Handsfree works great, though still blocks ActiveSync via BT (a reboot auto disables it) but it doesn't interfere with the radio now.
Are you sure they didn't just rename BT Handsfree in 2.02t1WWE to BT Headset in 2.06.00WWE? (same functionality, just no menu option in the later)
The reason I'm posting this, is not to produce a backup file for installation, but to give those of us playing around with the ROMS's food for thought.
I'm curious what would happen if someone installed an English version, deleted Media player 9 & it's registry as much as possible, then backed up. Then installed the Chinese version (2.20.07CHS with Media Player 10) and restored the original backup over it.
Would you end up with a combined Chinese version in English with Media Player 10?
(Before you ask why I don't try it myself - I need a break so I'm going back to work )

and if your not using the flashmans files then delete those flashmans file on startup... now ive left in my startup are the "CheckAutoRun, ChgDfLnk, IA_Caller_ID, poutlok, RegNotify, stk" and makes your PPC fast. Try it...
Just install the 2.02 WM2003SE DCS Rom then use activesync backup.. (Dont install anything after the 2.02 was installed just backup after upgraded to 2.02) after the activesync backup were completed reflash again, use the 2.06 WM2003SE Mamaich Rom then Restore the backuped files from activesync... then delete those flashmans... then VOILA!!!
Result: Fast and Stable, For me no hangs for reboot fast load when reboot and more stable... (For me... i dont know for you...)
Just try...
mines working the way i want it ( no hangs etc ) for more than a week now...got tired on reflashing and flashing...im testing the whole phone to the extreme ( calls, texts, games, movies, etc ) since the last time i flash and so far, its quite stable...
the reason : i just streamlined the today plugins to the one designed to run on SE ( RhinoCode plugins ) , thou i got a near-full ExtendedROm with extended-extended ROm ( \storage ), i dont even get unplanned soft resets till now... :wink:
this is my experience so far....

Perhaps you can upload both registries so we can do a comparison to see what is the difference between the 2 registries. Worth the check, if it does solve a few problems for those installed with either 2.02 or 2.06 ROM.

err, i wouldn't delete those "flashman" applications, as they're not from, lol, shockwave flash player.. those are there to detect inserted SD/MMC/CF cards as far as i know...

Interestingly enough, there's a posting that suggests that there is actual difference in the registry settings of 2.06 versus 2.02 ROM...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=13820&highlight=
Perhaps we should pursure the registry differences between the 2 if it does make our ROM more stable?

Hi Guys,
i downloaded the himalaya update for win mobile 2003. Now I have a problem. The phone which was 1.72.01GER, extROM 1.72.184, radio - 1.17.00 now has become 2.02.t1WWE, radio 1.18 (NO EXTROM version),but the extended ROM is still in german and will not let the new version install. I have to rest the PDA to use it. But most of it seems to work well. I have tried to install the 1.72.181 WWE version, but I get langage id errors (I tried GER, WWE).
There was a note with the installation that said do not let TDxxxx.exe run, in config.txt. I have no idea were to find the file.
please help.
Could it possible to erase all of the rom and install a new version altogether? or erase the ext rom alone? If yes then HOW????
I am not using O2's services in India.
Thanks a million.
Hope what i have written makes some sense.

Search around for ExtROM posted by ZeroExtreme, DCS or SIN. It's probably zipped up or in .EXE file. But the final file you are looking for is ms_.nbf.
Put it together with your ROM nk.nbf file and re-run the upgrade again.
You can skip the RADIO .nbf file to save some time.
thanks Henry. Will try your solution and let you know.
Here is a new rom from the still unreleased Cingular 8525: HTC Hermes (HERM100) branded from U.S. Operator Cingular.
ROM Version: 1.30.502.1
ROM Date: 08/21/06
Radio: 1.11.00.00
Protocol: 32.47.7018.00H
As always, download link on the wiki upgrading page:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Upgrades
If you have questions be sure to read the Hermes wiki first, specially the Upgrading FAQs.
Notes on this ROM:
* Cingular 8525 doesn't have front camera, you'll need to install cab files from other ExtROM to enable video calling (I used TyTN ExtROM on mine).
* Left button is mapped to push-to-talk application still unavailable on the rom, so it is unuseful. You can map it to any other APP using 3rd party software to remap hardware buttons.
Enjoy
if i upgrade to the cingular 8525 rom, will my tytn still be unlocked? or will it be locked to cingular?
It will still be unlocked. The network lock doesn't depend on the rom you're using.
Guys
Any ideas as to who/what website released this ROM?

What is the OS build?

OS 5.1.195 (Build 14955.2.3.0), so it's AKU 2.3 as all the other available ROMs until now.
i just installed the cingular 8525 rom! and now U CANT DO A LOCK IN ON GSM OR WCDMA MODE! (that menu been removed!)
i going back to the Imate rom!
Trying it now, thanks for the link! It also seems that the MMS limit is increased to 600K!

I am on the cingular rom, and my menu exists. Go to:
Settings -> Personal -> Phone -> Band -> Select your network type. The options are Auto, GSM and WCDMA.
If you don't have it by default probably it's on the ExtROM, as I said I installed the ExtROM from TyTN, try it.

Any comments as to the stability of this ROM on a TyTN?
Do we know what the different files in the EXT_ROM are for?

1) hard reset
2) do the usual alignment stuff, copy-paste, etc...
3) soft-reset before it starts installing the cingular ExtROM (customizations), you have 3 seconds
4) Unhide your extrom (you can also use fit4cat hermes tweaker for this)
5) Extract the contents of TyTN ExtROM to a folder in your miniSD card.
6) click on the CABs files you want to install, this is what I installed on mine:
From TyTN's ExtROM (on SD):
MT_Shortcut-MMS-Hermes.CAB
MP_mHub_060630.CAB
MT_PC_Hermes_Qtek_WWE_060621.CAB
P_Generic_UI.CAB
PP_3-AP-Patch.CAB
PP_ace-certs.CAB
VT_Engine_23818_ext.CAB
From Cingular's ExtROM (unhided):
MT_Shortcut-MMS-Hermes.CAB
T_mm1lib_DLL.CAB
MMS disapeared and I had to install the CAB 3 times, i used both from TyTN and from Cingular, then setup a default account settings and sent an MMS and received another (I sent it to myself from another mobile phone) and after that it stayed and no more problems with MMS.
I also installed the TyTN green theme (.tsk) because I like how it looks
Hope that helps.
Does the Cingular ROM or EXT_ROM contain the Cyberon VoiceDialer?
(I hope not!)
Yes, it's on the ROM but it's not mapped to any hardware button.
interesting.. BAND selection tab (GSM/UMTS/AUTO) is present in the ROM if Cingular extended ROM is not installed. it is being removed during Extended ROM installation procedure. more over, none of this Cingular CAB files are responsible for removing BAND selection (GSM/UMTS/AUTO) tab.
I have skipped Extened ROM installation, verified that BAND selection (GSM/UMTS/AUTO) band selector is still present and then installed all Cingular extended ROM cab files one by one. supprisingly enough - band selector is still there. there must be some other invisible configuration file in the extended rom. gprs connection is not auto configured either.
@superduper: probably you need to soft reset for the changes made by cab files to take effect. If you want to know which cab file disables it you have to install one, soft-reset, install another one, soft-reset and so on...
never mind
here is. i have selected the line in registry that needs to be changed to:
dword:00000001

P.S. It would be goos if fit4cat will add this feature to his hermes tweaker.
Great finding
Guys, is Cing Video now activated and available as an option?
Thanks.
Is it me or does the ExtROM Unlocker only unhide the Extended ROM on this build - leaving it still read-only / protected?
I tried with fit4cat and the Hermes MountExtROM.cab but no luck modifing contents.
