I am using the Cingular 8525 and to avoid having Cingular junk installed after a hard-reset, I soft-reset the device after a successful hard reset. I.e. when the "installing in 3 seconds" notice shows up.
However, now that all the Cingular installation files are removed, I no longer have any of these:
- MMS Shortcut
- Smart Dialing in Phone app: this is the one that allows you to type if the name via the keypad (much like T9) and have the names listed
I have tried to install the files manually from the Cingular 1.34 ExtROM compressed file hosted in XDA Developer FTP site, but to no avail.
The ExtROM contains the following, and only the bold ones are the ones that I try to install to bring the above functionalities:
CAB: \Extended_ROM\MT_PC_Hermes_GenericLight_REG_060609.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\MT_Shortcut-MMS-Hermes.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\C_Cingular_GoodEmail_081606.sa.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\C_getmail.ppc2005(HTC8100).ARMV4Rel.cingular.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\C_HSDPA_Wirelss_Modem_Stall.cab
CAB: \Extended_ROM\C_Hermes_MobiTV.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\C_GetTeleNav.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\T_mm1lib_DLL.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\PP_PIE_Default.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\SMS_Setting_07Jun06.CAB
Please help. If I can't get the MMS shortcut and Smart Dialing, then there is no point in upgrading ROM since I'll be crippling the device to certain degree because it will not have the above functions.
OK, I am getting extremely frustated now. All I want is to get the MMS Shortcut and Smartdial on my Cingular 1.34 ROM.
I have installed the following (taken straight from the Cingular 1.34 ExtROM):
T_mm1lib_DLL.CAB
ShortString_Keypad_XML.CAB
MT_Shortcut-MMS-Hermes.CAB
MT_PC_Hermes_GenericLight_REG_060609.CAB (Smart Dialing)
I got SmartDialin to work. But NO MMS shortcut whatsoever! I installed the 1st three CAB above to get the MMS shortcut for 5 times in different order soft reset after EACH install, and NO MMS shortcut.
Those who have upgraded to the Cingular 1.34 and bypass the initial customization (soft reset after the 1st hard reset), please let me know how did you get the MMS Shortcut back. I assume there will be at least 20-30 people who have done this before.
No one knows how to fix the MMS shortcut for the CIngular 1.34 ROM? I guess no one is using Cingular ROM, then...
BTW, just FYI, any modification to the messaging program for some reason will get removed again, just like the MMS shortcut. For example, I installed Cingular XPress Mail (push email client) and the "Inbox" created by this application DISAPPEARED from Messaging application after 2 soft reset.
It looks like that Cingular and HTC have found a way to stop hacker from modifying the Extended ROM.

I found that some of the CABs in the extended rom will not install if you try to install them manually, no matter how many times you run them. So, what I did was unlock my extended rom and just deleted the stuff I didn't want installed, then did a hard reset after that. Worked fine. (Personally, I wanted everything BUT MMS, but I'm sure if you delete the opposite of what I did, it'll work just as well)

I did that. As a matter of fact, I used the ExtROM mount cab to access the cabs directly.

That's interesting to know! I think it affects mostly on the Messaging application, since it also make Email accounts disappear, not just MMS.
If you don't mind, can you let me know the following:
1) Which .CAB file did you leave (not delete)? I assume they are the following:
a. MMS Shortcut
- T_mm1lib_DLL.CAB
- MT_Shortcut-MMS-Hermes.CAB
b. Smart Dialing
- ShortString_Keypad_XML.CAB
- MT_PC_Hermes_GenericLight_REG_060609.CAB (Smart Dialing)
2) When you delete the unncessary CAB files, did you have to modify the Config.txt in the ExtROM folder itself? This text file list all the CAB files that will be installed, seemingly in a particular order.

I wanted MMS out, s I deleted all the files that had MMS in their name. Sine you apparently WANT MMS, you should leave those in, and I guess delete whatever you don't want. Regarding the text file, I actually tested it both ways. If you edit i and clean it up, it'll work, but if you leave it as is, it won't complain and will just silently skip over the things it ca't find. So, basically, the only reason to clean up the removed files out of the config.txt file is for, um, aesthetic reasons. You don't have to, but if you feel better about it being clean, then go ahead

Just so I know I am doing the right thing, which of the CAB files did you leave it in, with the exception of MMS?
ONe major item I need is the Smart Dialing feature.

I had a hard time to upgrade and modify my xda2 so I decided to make a small tutorial for everyone with the information’s I found on the forum. It’s not perfect but it could help.
Thank's to every one who made all this possible!!
Before starting I recommend every one to make a back-up of your rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=4608
1- Extended Rom:
Your XDA2 has an Invisible Extended Rom in the device containing the operator’s configuration files and software.
Modifying it will allow you to customize the boot image and to choose the programs you wish to install during the setup of the device.
To show the extended rom on your device your need to apply this small hack and then open your file explorer:
http://www.ppcw.net/index.php?itemid=1638
2- Files contained in the Extend Rom:
Broadcast_WWE.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.
CallerIDRC11_WWE_1.5.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.
CameraRC131_WWE_1.5.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.
GPRSMonitor_WWE.sa.CAB:
Includes the GPRS Monitor from SPB Soft. Very useful I would recommend it unless you aren't going to use GPRS anyway.
MIDI56.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)
MMS1507_WWE.sa.CAB:
Installs the Arcsoft MMS application for composing and sending MMS messages.
VideoMMS.sa.CAB (not contained in Qtek):
Installs the "Video MMS.exe" file into the Windows folder. When you start it you are in camera mode immediately and after you have recorded a picture or video you get into MMS composition mode.
This seems to be just an easier way to compose MMS messages since the main MMS Application (see above) is already able to compose MMS messages.
OEM_AKU1_WWE_4AP.sa.CAB (named OEM_4AP_WWE.CAB in Qtek ROM)
Installs the following files: GPRSAuthentication.exe, BTSetting.exe, STK.exe and WModem.exe
I am not sure if these are customized versions or if the normal ROM doesn't contain them. Well perhaps not because these are specific to the Phone edition so they can't be present in the main ROM, maybe they are contained in the Radio ROM, but probably they are only contained here, meaning you shouldn't remove this cab file.
OEM_WWE_03120301.sa.CAB (named OEM_WWE_03122301.sa.CAB in Qtek ROM)
Installs files for Bluetooth: AudioGW.dll, BthASPlugIn.dll, rilgsm.dll, Serial3.dll and Wavedev.dll. Also contains the new feature of mapping a (dynamic) serial port for BT.
I think you should not remove it.
TM_phone_class10.CAB (not contained in Qtek):
Installs several registry settings regarding phone functionality. (See my other post regarding this topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=5539)
TMCOMREG.sa.CAB (not contained in Qtek):
Contains some of the settings contained in the previous one anyway. I'm not sure if it does anything else but I don't think so.
TMD_AP_NL.sa.CAB (not contained in Qtek):
Implements several settings specific to T-Mobile (NL): Restricts video types for MMS. Adds connection and gateway settings for MMS connection via T-Mobile NL. Adds a T-Mobile profile to GPRS Monitor.
I would not install this cab unless you live in NL!
TMD_NL.sa.CAB (not contained in Qtek):
Sets the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\3rdversion\MSYSTEM1 value to the provider name.
Not required!
TMDNLCustomize.sa.CAB (not contained in Qtek):
Adjusts all the "theming" stuff: Changes colors, installs Today-theme, installs T-Mobile Dialpad, sets T-Mobile ringtone.
If you don't like you xda2 look like a pink pig you should leave this out.
(You can extract single items from the cab file if you like)
t-mobile_shortcuts_only(UK).PPC2002_ARM.CAB (not contained in Qtek):
Contains some strange things that seem to me rather useless: "WebDisplayText t-zones", "T-Mobile Resetter.exe", "T-Mobile PIE Launcher.exe", "TMobileWebToday.dll", "T-Mobile Homepage Plugin".
I wouldn't install this one!
Version_AKU1.sa.CAB (Version_AKU1_160.sa.CAB in Qtek):
Seems to only set the version number of the extended ROM in the registry.
3- Modifying and editing your Extended Rom:
Most of the latest XDA2 have a write protected Extended Rom
A) For NOT Write Protected Extended Rom:
If your XDA2 Extended Rom is not write protected just add the new files you want, you can find on the forum many different extend rom files (O2, T_Mobile, Orange) and kitchen your own extended Rom by adding the cab files directly in the Extended_rom directory and soft reset.
B) For Write Protected Extended Rom:
The only way for the moment (until we find a way to make the rom writable) is to use the upgrade programs used by the operators and ER2003Edit program.
1)- Download
http://www.c1au.com/iMatePDAROMS/ruu15283.zip
or
http://www.clubimate.com/Support/ruu113sku1.zip
2) Simply unpack the complete T-Mobile Rom update file (it's a zipped EXE) into a folder.
There you will find these 6 files:
- HimaClearJumpCode.exe
- HimaGetDeviceData.exe
- HimaUpgradeUt.exe
- ms_.nbf <----- this is the file which holds Ext Rom!
- NK.nbf (main rom)
- Radio_.nbf (radio rom)
3) Delete the other *.nbf files to prevent updating the full XDA2/MDA2 rom. You only need "ms_.nbf" and the "*.exe" files!
4) Now modify the ms_.nbf with the tool softworkz kindly provided.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/ER2003Edit
5) After this, install the modified ext-rom to your XDA2/MDA2 by starting "HimaUpgradeUt.exe" and follow the instructions!
6) If you get a country code error during the install you will need to modify the country code included in the ms_.nbf file
- Download xda2nbftool
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=5563
- Put xda2nbftool.exe in the same folder as your ms_.nbf file
- Run xda2nbftool.exe from Command Prompt and type the following command
xda2nbftool.exe -so O2 -v ms_.nbf
Replace O2 by your operator’s name (ex: orange, O2 etc)
It should now work!
cheers,
Yann
nice one Yann
Thanks
I had a go at doing the "if your extended rom is protected"
I down loaded the file
1)- Download
http://www.c1au.com/iMatePDAROMS/ruu15283.zip
and accidentally ran it.... I know I was stupid... I now have an I-Mate instead of a XDA - O2. Please help can I get the O2 back is there a programme that does the same as the one I just have used. It has changed every thing the radio stack, the other bits of software, I am just pleased it still works of calls.
I couldn’t find the indivuiual HimaUpgradeUt.exe programme any ware.
Please help I am really stuck at the minute!!
The bit I didn’t understand was the bit about unpack the exe. Which I now understand how to do. Although I have upgraded to Rom 1.52.00wwe, radio version 1.06.01, I can haply say I have the original O2 rom back in place with additional programmes installed in the Ex-Rom. I had a fair bit of space so I popped some music files in as well!!!!
Thanks for all the help!!!!
thanks yann for the perfect summary
as newby i needed something clear like this to dare my first rom changes, and i successfully did!
it would be even more perfect if also somehow the program settings/passwords could be cooked in/restored from the extended rom. i searched the forum but could not find any hints.
Are there methods for this ?
Perhaps a silly question, but I'm fairly conservative when it comes to messing around with my device.
How do you find out or know if your Ext ROM is write protected or not? I know that I can add applications to my Ext ROM and it does not seem like I should be able to do that if it's write protected, but then again I'm not sure if this matters.
Ed
ed, if you can copy files to your ext-rom via activesync, it is per definition not write-protected.
your not that conservative, because you already run a tool or edited the registry to be able to see the ext-rom
ronald,
Well I guess you are right I do like to play around, as I get more comfortable doing so. It is this Forum, guys like you, and some other forums that have made this possible for me to do. For some reason I'm more comfortable in general hacking around a desktop pc than a PPC.
I thought my Ext ROM must not be write protected. When I deleted the TMD files, described here as useless, I got the message that they were read only, but they did go away from the Ext ROM Folder. I do not notice a big difference, however, nor did it free up that much memory. I was thinking that I might need to do more then this. Do I?
So basically, if my Ext ROM is not right protected, and I have been already loading programs into the Ext ROM, I’m pretty much at the place people are trying to get with the Ext ROM Cook ER...Edit. Is that correct or am I missing something here?
Ed
Ed,
I do not like flashing rom (or bios) on either my desktop or PDA (if not absolute sure to fix bugs). However flashing the PDA's ext-rom can basically not screw up the PDA because you don't touch the OS, so I flashed the ext-rom to get familiar with the PDA flashing in general (and also to have a restore of my standard used software after a hard-reset).
About your ext-rom; I do not recognise your situation. I would say if it is read-only the file will not disappear (like with my PDA).
I did notice while editing the ext-rom file for flashing that the file is fixed ~16MB, regardless of which cab's are included or deleted.
Maybe this is the same effect that you see when deleting the file in the ext-rom ???????? (although I can imagine both effects have no relation)
ronald
Camera Programs
Okay,
I made a custom ROM with the following programs:
CAB: \Extended_ROM\CameraRC131_WWE_1.5.sa.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\CallerIDRC11_WWE_1.5.sa.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\MMS1507_WWE.sa.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\GPRSMonitor_WWE.sa.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\Version_AKU1.sa.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\OEM_AKU1_WWE_4AP.sa.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\OEM_WWE_03120301.sa.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\VideoMMS.sa.CAB
Awesome, alot less bloat, but.... Camera doesn't work.. Application says Camera is not a valid Pocket PC application. :: grumble ::
Did I miss something?? Camera.exe is there, but doesn't work
Brandon
My Ext ROM is not write protected, and I'm able to run applications in the EXT ROM Folder. I deleted the 2 TMD and the T-Mobile cab files, but I have not nticed a big difference, nor is my GPRS back to always on, which it should be now.
Perhaps the device requires another hard reset without these cab files in place prior to the changes taking actual effect. Does anyone know if my assumption is accurate about the required hard reset?
Ed
what dictates if the ExtROM is write protected or not? is it the version? or the hardware itself? or a mix of the version with the OS checks?
cuz i believe the ROM version is dictated by the version_AKU1.sa.cab. does that mean we can hack the cab (or use a diff version) to disable the write protection?
i'm using a himalaya btw.
I have a question or two.
I'd also like to know if it is possible to modify CAB files so they install an application and then also put in your purchased key or serial depending on the application so it's already registered to yourself. It seems like it must be possible because the GPRS Monitor on the T-Mobile Extended ROM is already Registered when you try and register it yet I was under the impression it normally has to have a key entered to turn it into the full version with no limits.
This would be great if this was possible, if it's a key file then it's simple to copy it over but how about automatic registry entries? Are these done similar to Windows .reg files? Does anyone have any info if a .reg file can be make and run from the Extended ROM to make changes to the registry? This would also allow me to key in a few other things I'd like presetup.
Is there a way to see what registry changes a CAB file makes other than from purchasing MagicCAB? Is there a free program like this? It seems like a reasonable program from the info but I don't want to spend 10 dollars on a program I might only use once or twice.
Acutally, one more while I'm here. Does anyone have a CAB installation version of CabInstl which puts a shortcut in the Programs or an easy way for me to make that? I've set it up so it will copy the EXE in manually along with a shortcut but I've yet to try it. I think it should work OK I imagine, just might be neater and have an uninstall if it's in a CAB format?
Can you delete files from the extended ROM script? Just so I can clear out a few folders of things I don't want in there when I do a hard reset?
Thanks for all your help. I'm looking forward to making a super kick ass Extended ROM for myself, I'm half way there
Updating the indirect way
Had a few problems with the updating process... and thought i would explain how I got around them!
First I updated to the standard 16007DE ROM
Then I installed the Extended Rom Viewer, and then because it is protected, i copied the contents to my HDD.
Then i tried to open the Rom update from T-mobile with the Extended ROM editor, but kept on getting file access errors The only one i could open was the NL 13006 version. So I changed the splash screen, deleted the origianl contents, and then inserted the contents from my updated original Extended ROM, as well as a few other bits that i could find, IE the extended ROM viewer. It is updating at the moment, So I hope it all works.
I have a few questions though!
Does anyone know a way in which I can automatically install a few themes, and a few ringtones? I have a few MIDI files that i want to be installed into the windows\rings folder, and the themes need to go in a folder called themes in My Documents. I also wanted to ask if there is a way to extract the CAB from another program, for instance Voice Commander. It is an MSI, but only works in windows!!!
Any help would be greatly appreciated...

- Download the O2 XDA2 ROM 1.60.50
- Download the T-Mobile MDA2 ROM 1.60.36
- Remove O2 apps i don't want to use
- Add applications from T-mobile rom which i want to use
- Change ROM provider from O2 rom to to T-Mobile
- Save new O2 ROM and upgrade
But... I want to add custom ring tones to contacts, and if possible also want to add custom picture. Also my camera must be able to work. Which software do i need for this?
Because.. All i want to upgrade is today theme to O2's and also the software to 1.60.50... Does the O2 rom also has an "TMDNLCustomize.sa.CAB" ?

2 questions for you,
1. how do i know whether my rom is the editable 1 or the non editable one?
2. I tried option A, just mergly adding the CAB files into the EXTROM but... when the hard reset was perform it did not install the CAB files i added in? what could be the prob i know there is a "autorun.exe" in it but i dunno whether will it affect the process. I also notice a "config.txt" in the extrom, tried editing it but it seems that nothing happen
Reason for adding the cab files is because i was using a 1.72.00 rom with radio stack 1.12 but intend to change it to radio stack 1.14 and also try cooking up my own rom in the ktchen but after doin so its like nothing happen. need some advice for cooking roms in the kitchen been searching the forum... found a few but its all talking about Linux platform.
Hi Kelvin,
1)
The way to know if your rom is not writ protected is if you see a folder called extended_rom in the root of XDAII and if you can add files in it.
If not, there’s a nice tool to make the extended_rom visible and to make it writable.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=8422&highlight=extended+rom+hide
2) The config.txt is made to lunch the programs in the extended rom when you hard reset the XDA or when it starts for the first time.
You just need to put the cab files in your extended_rom folder and edit the config.txt this way:
Exemple:
I added the cab file vxIPConfig.ppc3_arm.CAB in the folder extended_rom
and added this line in config.txt
CAB: \Extended_ROM\vxIPConfig.ppc3_arm.CAB
Cheers,
Yann
hi yann,
i tried doing that way as i figured out that config is like a startup "prg" to actually start the programs installing when hard reset is performed. But the thing is i cannot make the programs i added in the install after the hard reset is perform. I don't know why but the rest of the cab files can be done. Do adding of all this cab files into the ROM consider cooking ROM??? not really fimilar with the terms of cooking ROM unless that is the way.
Hello :
How can i upgrade my HTC TyTN with the imate rom ?
I only get 99 % ....everithing works after that ....except mms... that ive notice.
Any ideas ?
Luis
The upgrade stopped because same cabs need a Imate IMEI....
You need to put the extended memory in the card, soft reset when the fist installation stop, an install manually tha cabs yuo need from the card.
I solved also the MMS problem.
I suggest to use fit4cat tweaker to show the TyTn EXT_Rom content. Save the MMS cab on your computer, then Upgrade to I-Mate rom (look at Wiki, http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Upgrades )
During I-mate personalizzation the phone will "freeze"... don't worry just soft reset. just config date, time zone, international setting, then install the TyTn mms cab an configure the MMS
TyTN MMS Ext. Rom CAB File
As I was not aware that the iMate MMS CAB was only installed to specific IMEI devices I did not save the TyTN Ext. Rom to my PC before installing the imate JasJam ROM.
Does anyone have a copy of the TyTN MMS CAB file to save me having to re-install the HTC (QTEK) ROm and then save the file and then install the JASJAM Rom?
Thanks
Mike
Re: TyTN MMS Ext. Rom CAB File
all extended roms are here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_ExtendedRoms
Thanks for that -
I have seen how to unhide the Extended ROM folder and have succesfully done this, however if I try to delete some of the unwanted CAB files I get a message saying the disk is write protected and if I try to copy the TyTN CAB files to the Extended ROM I get he same message - does anyone know how to 'unlock the Extended ROM?
Thanks
#EDIT#
I have installed the CAB in the Temp folder and run it from there - I know have MMS, I then re-ran the Orange CAB and it installed all the correct MMS Settings. I would still like to remove the unwanted CAB files from Extended Sotrage and install the TyTN ones I do want, so if anyone has any idea I would appreciate it. Thanks Mike
If i soft reset before any customizations after a hard reset....and i install cabs from extended rom manually. Will this take up more main memory than if it had installed/customized on its own?

5) Go to Messaging, MMS and config MMS parameters (gateway....)
6) Try your Internet UMTS-GPRS connection, if your phone try to connect using the MMS connections, tap on settings and restore My ISP connection as default for internet. (Stupid software, it automatically try to use the last network configured...... )
Thkns but already try with the cab from dopod and and htc.
I upgrade again with complete upgrade with rom form htc and is working.
To bad o cant use imate.
I upgraded via all the instructions..worked pretty flawlessy and was a bit scary.
ie: super CID, v1.06 downgrade to 1.04, upgrade to 1.35 South Africa, downgrade back to 1.04, upgrade radio stack to 1.20..blah blah. I unhid my extended rom but i see that its the one from South Africa.. I am using a cingular 8525 on T-mobile..is it possible to replace extended rom with the T-mobile MDA Vario II extended rom or the cingular 1.34 extended rom? And is it a good idea? I really wanna get back to normal...I don't think I've ever tweaked a device firmwarewise as I have this. (although i had fun with my mda...it was still designed for "t-mobile" though). My keypad did get disconfigured but i found a .xml cab file from one of the cingular extended roms and it worked thanks to searching the forums. But something doesn't just doesn't feel right. I want to feel normal like I have the appropriate software for my hardware? ( know what i mean?). I'm wondering if I could just simply delete all files in extended rom currently and replace with the latest cingular extended rom cab files or t-mobile vario II extended rom cab files?
note: i'm from the usa..so im a little confused with all these foreign roms etc. All I saw initially was a higher number shortly after when I started off with simply the goal to unlock the thing..lol.
Yes, you can replace the extended ROM from other one... you'll need to hard reset after to get the autorun configuration.
For a guy on T-mobile....i'm looking at replacing the extended rom from south africa with the latest cingular one of the t-mobile uk. I honestly have googled to try and find out what each cab file means..but seems like it would be safer to just replace with the latest cingular, especially in terms of selling the device later.
I wonder what everyone is doing? all you 1337 h4x0rs simply deleting files you don't need and then doing a backup after manually entering your internet, mms settings?
I'm so lost. maybe its because the MDA was around longer so it was like bread and butter flashing to Molski's rom etc. I know that we had a "missing mms shortcut" that we could just download....
blah..hi. my name is n00b. help can me you? lol

I don't know what l33t hax0rs are doing, but I just don't let the ExtROM install and after unhiding/unlocking it, I use it as storage space.... I do install some cabs which i have found to be useful either by: trial and error or extracting the cab file contents and looking at them. Also I take cabs from \windows\[pre]config.txt which are not on extrom but useful sometimes also.
For Internet and MMS settings I have a cab file I got from i-mate website long ago for my BlueAngel, and it is still useful on my hermes
Once you've everything sorted out, a full reinstall after a hard reset or ROM upgrade takes 10 min: meet Dr. Jonson, set time & date, install cabs... soft reset, install more cabs, soft reset and done
I noticed one of the extended roms listed in the wiki had a tiny bit of information
"HTC TyTN 1.18.255.105 ExtROM WWE (English)
LOCK:Enabled
CAB: \Extended_ROM\MT_Shortcut-MMS-Hermes.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\PP_ExtVersion.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\P_Generic_UI.CAB (This contains the Green UI for the Wireless Manager)
CAB: \Extended_ROM\PP_3-AP-Patch.CAB (This contains the camera app and StreamingPlayer)
CAB: \Extended_ROM\MT_PC_Hermes_Qtek_WWE_060621.CAB (This contains the Green HTC TyTN UI for Phone Dialer and Smart Dialer)
CAB: \Extended_ROM\VT_Engine_23818_ext.CAB (Ati video driver, and audio+video codecs)
CAB: \Extended_ROM\PP_ace-certs.CAB
LOCKisabled
RST: Reset"
But furthermore i was able to hard reset my device and then i soft reset before any of the cab files were auto started..so i guess now i'm just gonna have to install one by one..wish i just knew because i'm spending so much time on this before even getting my phone functional. i havent even placed my contacts on this beast yet because i keep feeling that I'm gonna hard reset a couple of times and wipe them out.
Would i have to change the auto run and config text somehow to auto run certain files or would that still be considered "cooking your own extended rom"?
Per dcd's request, please post in here to discuss anything to do with MMS on 3.1.x roms.
So i was having some questions about this.
I took the mms 5 out of the 3.0.4 rom and put it into the new 3.1.2 rom. Rom works fine. But i can't get mms to work.
I made a new STRING value, named it X-VzW-MDN and put the value my 10 digit number.
when i try to send a picture, it still wont' send.
When it trys to send, it shows the status of it and it is stuck at 0%
then it shows the warning message saying "unable to send your message."
There has to be something i did.. anyone help me? thanks!

Thanks!!
But i still can't get it to work.
EDIT!! I got it to work. I copyed some reg values here then it still didnt work. But i went ot the options, it had "1/2" in for the gateway.. hahaha took that out and it was fine.
I am trying to get someone to coment on if their Video MMS on verizon is working correctly. thanks.
These are the COMPLETE instructions on how to have working MMS with Verizon out of the box.
1. Cook your rom and flash (Arcsoft OEM no longer needed from 3.0.4 kitchen).
2. Install Verizon carrier package cab.
3. Install dcd VZW Arcsoft MMS 5.0.31.19 cab.
4. Soft reset.
That's it. Both MMS send and receive should work. Make sure you have an active data connection because you will not be able to send or receive anything without it.
this should work for vz users.
i have not tested it.
this would at least save you one cab install. install this and then create x-vzw-mdn key.
you still need my current vz carrier cab. with this cab, you dont also need the one gcincotta just posted.
edit: after thinking about it, im going to just revise this to include mortscript and throw a small script in startup to set the key... unless anyone disagrees?
edit: use cab posted on page 2

sounds good to me........does this mean we are getting closer to MMS cabs for all carriers? If u need a tester for cricket, ill be a guinea(sp?) pig again

its not how i want to do it. i want 1 cab that supports everyone. this way is 1 cab that supports 1 carrier.
it at least separates the mms and rom topics, which i think is for the better.
this would at least save you one cab install.

Not really...they don't install both verizon carrier package cabs, just the one i posted.
This is better for now though if the mortscript is included to fetch the MDN key though.
Still gotta code that setup.dll though to get rid of the mortscript.
this way is 1 cab that supports 1 carrier.

This was only meant to be a temporary fix for vzw users until the proper cab is completed.

ohh, gotcha.
ok well, mms/mort cab is done and works.
i didnt realize a mortscript is capable of deleting itself so it will only run in startup once and then dispose of itself.
vz users: install this cab, soft reset, use mms.
(dcd 3.1.3 and later will automatically soft reset after install...)

With that said, I'm going to change the instructions then in my post.
dcd, i made two cabs for cricket based off of ur vzw cab with mortscript. Both are working fine as I have quickly tested them. One cab uses only the MMS setup options and same mortscript but i had to change it to X-Cricket-MDN or whatever key it is. The other also incorporates a mortscript mms fix which was made by mooringhorse over at hofo and changes the left softkey and envelope key into scripts to delete the defaultconnectionsettings string if it exists then open the messaging. I can post them and let u see em if ud like? or if any does?

I was never able to send mms on 3.0.4. I installed this cab, soft reset and it now works perfectly. The slowness of the acrsoft that came with the 3.0.4 kitchen actually seams inproved also.

You probably didn't set it up right then, because MMS worked fine on 3.0.4 as long as it was set up correctly.

Worked great.
I flashed 3.39 full sprint rom : stopped at "tap screen"
Ran dcd 3.12 kitchen
Ran Carrier Cab (vzw)
Ran this mms cab
Everything is working good.
I installed the cab attached to this thread immediately after the carrier cab, and I cannot seem to send / receive picture messages. I get the following error:
Code:
Unable to receive your message(s). Your message notification(s) will remain in the inbox.
I have checked my registry and the all the settings match those posted earlier in this thread.
Can anyone offer some suggestions where i might start looking?
Hey guys i just bought a mogul on ebay and had it flashed to metro pcs, the internet, and gps work fine, i just cant get it send out mms like many of ur phones can, i dont have sprint picture mail, because i have metro service.
ANY HELP WILL BE GREATLY APPERICATED!!!!!
Did you install Arcsoft? If you did not, you might want to find a copy of it to intall on your phone.
Once you do, follow the directions below as a guideline.
Remove/Uninstall any existing MMS composer you have attempted to setup. Also a good idea to remove any registry keys it may have created that are left behind after the uninstall.
1: Install Arcsoft MMS version 5.0.70.24
2: Open your Messaging and click on the SMS/MMS option.
3: Click on "Menu" and select "MMS Options" then select the "Servers" tab.
4: Add a new server with the following settings:
Server Name: metropcs
Gateway: wap.metropcs.net
Port number: 3128
Server address: http://mms.metropcs.net:3128/mmsc
Connect via: SELECT EITHER THE CONNECTION YOU SETUP ABOVE OR "The internet"
Send limit: 399K
5: Click "Done" and then set the new server as default.
6: Using a Registry Editor edit the following values:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Arcsoft\ArcSoft MMS UA\Config\mm1\WspHeader]
DELETE KEY -> "X-VzW-MDN"
ADD STRING -> "X-metropcs-MDN"="XXXXXXXXXX" ( Insert your 10 digit phone Number )
ADD STRING -> "X-DEVICE-MIN"="1XXXXXXXXXX" ( Insert your 10 digit phone Number WITH the 1 in front of it )
Hope this helps nobale Metro PCS cousin...8)
*P.S.-- You might also want to find the Titan MMS fix CAB by CRwinger to help keep your MMS working properly. The reason is that when you open PIE it creates a registry key that will stop you from send/recieving MMS. The CAB file will automatically delete that file by pressing the messaging hard button on the top left of your Mogul.
Other alternative is not to use PIE and just use Opera.
PM me if you need any help, I'm with Cricket so we are almost in the same boat. 8)
mougl flashed to metro, mms problems
i'm really not smart when it comes to computers and pda, what is a pie and what is opera?
I'm pretty sure that PIE is something internet explorer. Opera is a mobile web browser. Probably one of the best since you can get youtube
mogul flash to metro, mms problem
ok i've located arcsoft mms 5.0.70.24, which on this forum, one do i download because i see beta and several other versions.
I use 5.0.31.19 myself. Any version after that or a beta is fine really. Its a trial and error of how well the software version you have works like you want it to.
Just DL anyone of them.
*Important--If anything back-up your phone just incase you need to do a hard reset. Use a program called PimBackup...its free.

thanks, i had downloaded a older version, how do i delete the older program completely? i removed it from my phone but, what's a registry edit? and how do i do that before installing the new arcsoft?
You need to find phmReg Edit and use that program to do your registry edits...its free just google it.
Also if you already have a version of arcsoft installed use the guide to get MMS working for you on Metro PCS. If that version doesn't work for you do the advised below.
*If you want to change the version of arcsoft it is best to start from scratch and hard reset the device. Thats why i suggested you to do a back-up your phone. Also if a hard reset is needed please be careful because it will erase everything on the phone except the SD card.
So it goes like this:
install phmReg Edit-->install Arcsoft-->follow steps in guide

THANK YOU GUYS... i'm able to send and receive picture and video mail, i just gotta get the titian cab fix or install opera, to keep it up.. what's the best opera version to install?
There are many builds out there but Opera build 2392 is good...seems to make it the default browser instead of PIE.
For example: When clicking on a link in a text message, Opera will open instead of PIE.
The Titan MMS fix by CRwinger I believe you might be able to find on PPCgeeks.
