Hello all,
In this topic I would like to share ideas about making the ultimate ROM & software configuration for the French users of XDA II.
I browse this site for months now, and I am very disappointed by the total absence of 1.72 French ROM.
Yes I am pretty happy with my Orange 1.66.02 Fra, but I am looking forward for a better MMS client, for the WM2003 SP2, and, why not, for a better battery autonomy.
I want also to edit this ROM, to unload all the unnecessary stuffs (the Orange software in my case), and to add some of my software.
I don't make any illusion about a possible WM2003SE upgrade in the future, so I want to have a very good WM2003 ROM, with all possible details which make the difference.
======================
So, any news about the 1.72 Fra ? Please, say you have !!
Then, between two cries about the 1.72, how can I edit my 1.66.02 Fra ? I made the image on the hard disk with OSImage Tools, then I tried to open the .nbf files with WM2003 ROM Image Editor but I never found the right password! Do you know more than me about this thing ?
I hope we will discuss here about all the details needed to modify/customise the French and only French versions.
Thank you,
Merci
best way to customize your current (Extended!!) ROM is to unhide & unlock is.
Change whatever you want (even extract newer versions of MMS, camera or whatever from newer Extended ROMs like the 1.72)
Lock it again and hard-reset.
There are some threads here on modifying the external rom.
This way you dont have to flash, which in its own is always risky-er than just changing files.
OH, BTW: Before you make any change to the extended rom , copy ALL files in it to your PC. Just in case you mess up.
Look that, it's the ROM 1.72.02FRA on my SPV M1000.

JRC, how could you help us with the 1.72 Fra version ? I bet there is plenty of french people here that are waiting for it.
edsub, I used ExtendedRomUnlocker (thanx for the idea) et now I have acces to :
- TPDisable.exe
- Broadcast_FRA.sa.CAB
- CallerID_FRA.sa.CAB
- MIDI.sa.CAB
- ClearVue233_FRA.sa.CAB
- camerarc143_fra.sa.cab
- MMS16012_FRA.sa.CAB
- OrangeFR_AP_20040302.sa.CAB
- DIM_OrangeFRA.CAB
- CustomizeFRA_166117.CAB
- Version_AKU1_16600.sa.CAB
- TPEnable.exe
- RST: Reset
Can someone tell what is doing each file ?
As for me, I am interested to erase all the operator-related files but the phone stuff and connection settings. But I don't know exactly what to erase.
I tried to put my own CAB in the extended memory and it worked like a charm at hard-reset.
So, will we begin to review all the newest versions of each french mini-software (PDA, Phone, BT etc.) available ? In the 1.72 Fra case, is the newest also the best ?
Hello again,
I discovered that there are few MB free (and lost) space in the Extended Rom, and I want to put a file (an eBook) inside (beside the CAB of MobiPocket).
I need to know what is the command, sort of autoexec.bat thing, which copies that file on [RAM] My Documents, at hard-reset.

I think to convert the ebook in a cab file, which will be self-extracted at hard reset and copied to My Documents. But how to do this ? Any help would be appreciate.
I found the Extended ROM Tutorial made by Yann and I adapt the information for the french extended rom :
- Broadcast_FRA.sa.CAB : "Seems to only set the CellBroadcast setting to enabled or disabled. (I guess this refers to the Reception of News via SMS by selecting channels of interested. Quite expensive I think and only interesting for phones that do not have any other capabilities of receiving and displaying information).
T-Mobile NL sets it on, with O2 it's switched off. "
- CallerID_FRA.sa.CAB : "Installs the CallerID application from IA Style and the Photo Contacts extension. There are other programs that are able to provide this functionality but I use it."
My note : it's buggy to heaven ! I deleted it, without problems.
By the way, does someone known a similar program ?
- MIDI.sa.CAB : "RingTone plugin player. Allow you to play back RingTones in the following formats: mid,3gp,mp4. Also seems to register the audio/midi MIME type for playback of midi files directly from Internet Explorer.
By default the XDA can play back only wav and wma audio files (AFAIK)"
- ClearVue233_FRA.sa.CAB : stuff that read .ppt and .pdf
- camerarc143_fra.sa.cab : "The camera application for taking pictures and recording videos. AFAIK there is currently no alternative to this one, you should leave it in your ROM."
- MMS16012_FRA.sa.CAB : "Installs the Arcsoft MMS application for composing and sending MMS messages."
- OrangeFR_AP_20040302.sa.CAB : still mysterious ...
- DIM_OrangeFRA.CAB : still mysterious ...
- CustomizeFRA_166117.CAB : Install the Orange specific software (mostly useless) and the Orange GPRS settings (resulting the "Action Engine" directory in Program Files). It can be deleted without problems.
- Version_AKU1_16600.sa.CAB : "Seems to only set the version number of the extended ROM in the registry."
Thank you yann !
Now we can discuss about the "still mysterious files". Guys with 1.72 Fra (not yet official), what files do you have in your extended rom ?
I attach the Extended Rom Unlocker.
I called the Customer Service of Orange France, asking directly for the 1.72 Fra version.
They said it will be ready in around two months from now (very, very approximately), and available for all.
I asked if I put myself another rom stuff before the official rom, does it cancel the waranty. Amazingly, the answer was that there isn't any warranty problem regardless of software (roms and others programs) installed or modified. They said "any software incident is rapidely resolvable on pdaphones, and granted for the warranty period".
Now, I begin to cross people on forums that already does have the 1.72 Fra but won't talk at all about it's origin nor share. Maybe one of them will offer, one day, their help to the community. Otherwise it's a little childish to post on forum "-Hey folks look what I have, the so-much-wanted version" then total silence ...
Share 1.72 french rom!!!
Salut,
Il semblerait que plusieurs personnes détiennent la version française de la rom 1.72.
Il s’agit d'un upgrade majeur parmi les roms et la mise à contribution pour la communauté XDA me semble primordiale.
Merci ce celui qui en a une copie de me la transmettre (je la mettrai sur un ftp) ou de la partager directement avec la communauté en la postant sur le forum.
Ce qui fait le succès de ce forum c’est le partage de l’info !!
Merci.
A++

Hi,
It seams that many people have the French version of the 1.72 rom.
It’s a very important rom upgrade that resolves many bugs and provides good performances.
If some on could share this rom , I would be pleased to post it on my ftp or this person could directly post it on the forum.
What makes the success of this great xda community is the sharing of information.
Thanks
Yann

I searched yahoo, google, and even bing, and of course these forums. I couldn't find any threads on upgrading from WM2003 to WM2003SE.
I have an Ipaq h3835 with Pocket PC 2003,
Microsoft Pocket PC
Version 4.20.1081 (Build 13100)
The asset viewer says under version:
Product Revision Level: 2.0
ROM Date: 09/24/03
ROM Version: 3.00.06 ENG
OS Version: Windows CE 4.20
I simply need WPA support within the built in wireless configuration.
The wireless configuration program that came with my 802.11b CF card can't seem to connect to my wifi, dispite all the settings being right. The software itself is glitchy at best.
My wifi card is the Symbol Spectrum24
Model: LA-4137
WEP and open connections work, but not WPA with their software.
And my WM2003 doesn't support WPA right out.
Now that Microsoft has released "Windows Embedded CE 6.0 R3"
ref: microsoft.com/windowsembedded/en-us/products/windowsce/default.mspx
With Silverlight, embedded IE, Flash lite etc
Will anybody port this to an HD2
Can any one upload SEMC HSUSB driver (W7 x86) which is workable with Xperis S ??? Thx in advance.

Only workeround for now for me is: after connecting phone to PC I am going to Device manager and using search for changes in devices option few times sometimes it work. If not I am using uninstall driver for MTP in mobile devices section, reconect phone and typicaly it working if not need do it again. I saw on other forums people have same problem with Xperia S but no one found 100% working solution.

Please note: This was already discussed and resolved in the DEVELOPER SECTION where we discuss about flashing the ROMs. The solution was to use an altrernate driver pack.

@TheRafal
J'ai eu le même problème, aussi bien sous XP que sous Seven 64 bits.
Dans mon cas la solution fut d'installer (ou désinstaller/réinstaller) Windows Media Player (qui embarque les drivers MTP).
I got the same issue, in both windows XP and Seven 64 bits.
Problem solved (for me) with installation (or desintalling and installing) of WIndows Media Player.

MTP connection
If you can't get MTP connection you should first make sure that PC Companion and/or Windows Media Player (Latest version, Win XP only) is installed on your PC.
If your Xperia phone is running on Android Gingerbread you can try to clear data for the application called MTPapp. Found here in your phone; Settings > Applications > Manager applications > All > MTPapp > Clear data.
