I have unlocked my XDA 1 from o2, and changed it to a vodafone simcard. I emailed vodafone for the settings for the internet, but I can't get them to work. I've found the settings on different web sites but no one tells me exactly how to set it up on my XDA so its all just guesswork which isn't working.

Hi guys, I am very proud of my new xda, however I could not identify who sent me the sms messages since it does not show the senders names unlike other mobile phones, we cant search by phone numbers too I live in the Philippines where sms is part of our lives! Please help me Thanks in advance
Download the cab-file from the following link, copy it onto your XDA and execute (doubble-click) it. That's all
http://www.mywirelessoffice.com/xda/sms_fix.cab
there is a free utility from paragon software to show names on sms, however it works only for the list view && received sms
take a look at penreader.com, it's lying there somewhere
ROKO: is it the same? mine is called sms_names.ppc.arm.cab I think, does it fix sent items etc...?
thank you very muchb
thanks so much guys, now im super happy with my xda, if only they made it a tri band phone so we can also use it in the us, anyways I very happy now, thanks again guys

I don't know. You could compare the two by looking into the cab files using WinZip. I wouldn't worry too much about it, there are more way's of doing the same thing. :wink:

That's funny, I was wondering why I was getting more traffic on that site lately...
The copy I have may not be the most current, though it does seem to work fine. It was not an official release. I can't recall the URL for the official release, but I know you can find it in Google.

Hi, I've followed this subject word for word, but my XDA keeps telling me theres no file associated with the three files you get when you unzip the downloaded file?? can you help?
This extended ROM is based on the latest UK release of 1.72.181, and was customized for asian users of the Xda II.
All the latest versions of the software in the base ROM are included, minus all O2 UK custom settings and software, however all configuration settings are set to the old Asian extended ROM version 1.60.44.
I also added the latest drivers/software for the Socket Communications SDIO Wifi card and the Xda II Thumb Keyboard which automatically install as a part of the post install tasks.
I had to remove the Java MIDlet Manager included in the base ROM since the size limit of the extended ROM was exceeded, and I also removed the O2 Active UI since it is customized for O2 UK users. I included the installer .CAB file for the MIDlet Manager in the .ZIP file so that it can be installed manually after the ROM upgrade if desired.
I am currently using this custom extended ROM now and have not encountered any problems. It is ideal for Asian users of the Xda II.
Enjoy...

You are aware that build 181 is for those who need Blackberry, WAP and Mobile Web to remain connected when a phone call is received. It will disconnect any GPRS connection running, requiring a manual re-connection of GPRS.
Build 187 allows GPRS to remain connected when receiving a call. I suspect this is the PRIMARY build everyone should use.
The reason I mention this is that at this point I haven't heard what differnces there are in the Extended ROMs (specifically).
Blackberry support
Yes I am aware that this is the one for Blackberry, I customized this one because my provider, Globe Telecoms, has Blackberry service.
Have you connected to the Blackberry service?
We dumped Blackberry since it has crappy PDF/Excel/Word/Project support. We now use Pylon Anywhere and Pocket PCs, must say this solution is better than Blackberry.
THanks

Umm, if you read the documentation, you'd see that the Mobile Web and/or blackberry connection will remainconnected. All others will not, therefore unless you connect to GPRS without the default settings, it doesn't really matter.
ZeroXtreme,
Did you leave the Ultra Profile in it? or it comes with the 02 Active?

Yes, it is part of the O2Active stuff.
Ultra Profiler
As dcs mentioned, it is part of O2 Active UI.
I cant remember exactly where in the forum I got it from before, but there is a way to get just the Ultra Profiler and enable it on your unit. Try doing a search in the forum, the instructions and necessary files were provided.

I found a post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=4278
However, it is from way back, so someone with the current version of O2 Active installed needs to build the same solution.
hi ZeroXtreme,
Could you please post the link to download your customised ROM? BTW, how do find with that customized ROM? Is that all stable and the bluetooth has been improved a lot?
Thanks for your help! :lol:

Its actually on the first post, but my friend also experienced problems with the download link not appearing, so here it is: http://forum.xda-developers.com/download.php?id=1623
since they upgraded the site, you would need to log-in first before you can see attachments on threads.
hope this helps.
I tried playing around with the Blackberry software but i guess only O2 UK users can benefit from it at the moment. Has anyone else in Asia or other countries besides UK tried it out?
Zeroxtreme,
Did the blackberry work for you? Do u also have the sync prog for the desktop? isnt this required when u first connect the blackberry to the desktop to sync Lotus notes?
thanks
Blackberry service
You will have to be a subscriber to the Blackberry service before getting it to function.
Globe Telecoms provide this service, I also know that Smart is also providing it.
I am still in the process of inquiring if the service can be subscribed to without purchasing the Blackberry device.
actually, yes, i am aware that we need to subscribe. Our company supports the feature as well in our domino server.
Have you tried it already though?
thanks

Hi, are there any UK based custom 2.1 ROMs?
flashed Villain3.4 but it seems the market is the US one so all the location specific apps are US and doesnt work properly
anyone point me in the right direction?
@nortynort
Sorry for writing this, but did you inform yourself before you wrote this new, unnecessary thread?
sorry it might've been daft, but the only way to get informed is to ask right?
MarketEnabler
Install market enabler and set your location to UK.
http://uploaded.to/file/en3pg4
nope mate ... the right way would be to make some research.
but I will give you the answer, have a look at page 1 from the Villain thread. Villain 3.4 basis is from an Eris dump, means the sources are from a US thought software leak.
There is no UK based ROM even no Mongolian based ROM, why? Because no official 2.1 release exists.

Not at exactly a manual is it? More of a reference point and discussion on the ROM itself.

it is not only unnecessary, it is also in the wrong subforum.
Wiki; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RTFM
"RTFM is an initialism for the direction "Read The ****ing Manual". This instruction is sometimes given in response to a question when the person being asked believes that the question could be easily answered by reading the relevant "manual" or instructions. It is also used to tell people to try to help themselves before seeking assistance from others."
So according to wikip phanes used the term correctly. And who wants to start a discussion concerning the validity of wikipedia? Not me. I believe in the peoples opinion.
Edit; Oh how i love metadiscussions..
As far as the original question goes. What is not working, market is fine for me using VillainRom 3.4?
Things submitted by U.S developers will show in $ anything in UK will show in £ and some will be Euro's you can still purchase them all the same.
Have you checked to see if you can change the "LOCATION" and "LOCALE & TEXT" options in SETTINGS?
I'm honestly trying to help, but no matter how I try wording the above, it always sounds a little condescending.

I'm not too knowledgable in this, but whatever app I download seems to be set to be US centric?
For example Yelp, which worked fine in the stock tmob uk ROM, now can't find my location at all. I set the currency thing in the settings to UK and it still can't find my location.
Other apps like pocketauctions for ebay are set to US by default but that one is managable as setting it to UK works fine.
Shopsavvy barcode scan feature no longer works, it doesn't recognise any barcodes anymore, I dont know if thats a US/UK thing as well. Typing products in by name brings up US prices. There's no setting to set it to UK.

Going to Settings ---> Location only gives the options "Use wireless networks" (Checked), and "Use GPS satellites" (unchecked)
Can't find a direct reference to Locale and text, but in the keyboard settings there's a LOCALE setting and clicking on it you can only choose a language

yes tried MarketEnabler. installed it, didn't see my original network (Tmobile UK). Tried tapping on other networks just as O2 germany, but nothing happens, no error message no nothing. Nothing changed in market.
I would like to buy something on marketplace, but it doesn't show up in my country.. Isn't marketplace international? How can I get apps from US marketplace in Europe?

hit the options menu and if you have the later versions you can change the region and where the apps will be installed mate
will it be compactible with my currency? as I use Euro, and not Dollars. Thanks for the advice, I will check it.
yes it should be i think that was the reasoning for allowing region change, or maybe because they did it on here before MS allowed it lol
You can also find a lot of those apps on
the developers own website by searching for the app on Google.
is there anyway to pull out the cab file when i d/l from marketplace???
it kindly sigh when i format my mobile and had to re-download again and waste my data plan usuage.
use wifi my friend? Or connect trough USB there must be a cab somewhere, windows site maybe

There was a fine application once, to track minutes and SMS that was made by http://www.hudsonmobile.com/ But they don't exist anymore and app was only for WM5.
Does anyone know similiar application that works in WM6 and has an option to track minutes by prefix for different numbers, so we can set up a rule for free minutes in home network, but also rule for free minutes in other networks?
i'd also like something like this.
