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, yet another project of mine I intend to get underway;
I'm planning on creating a program you can plop in your ExtROM that when you hard reset will configure your GPRS/MMS settings for you by enabling you to select a country and Operator.
Right now I'm in the stage of coding something that actually works, so I'm farting around with registry settings etc, but before I bother to do this, is there anyone who would get any use out of it?
I am also looking at developing an app to do this.. im using Studio 2005 with .NET Compact 2.0... i was thinking amoung the lines of xml files with the appropriate operator & mms settings...
sounds good,
Let's hope someone with the 3 Australia network + MMS settings can contribute. I havent come around to configure the above....
Cheers,

skip that, stick with 1.0, 2 is just going to cause massive headaches to be honest, especially as people are going to want to use this in their ExtROM on a fresh-boot.
and to be frank, there's not much that 2.0 can do that you can't get done with 1.0 in this instance
This Would Deffinatley Be Usefull. Especially If You Like To Update Your Device With The Latest ROMs.
Glad To See Your On Orange UK Olipro It Means I'll See The Benefit Right At The Start. Have You Got All The Orange Settings?

Hi,
My first time for posting as you all seem to always post my answers and questions for me. Thanks.
However!
A few days after receiving it I upgraded my UK T-mobile Ameo to TMobile WM6 which is excellent especially with RealVGA (thanks to all the posts on here!).
Every few days I have to do a hard reset as the machine periodically messes up.
Even though my today page tells me I have x emails in email account "fred" and y emails in account "John", when I try to go in it seems my accounts are all lost! So "Fred" and "John" are not there. I have found no way to sort this. I then have to setup the account with a new email name as the old one is in use!
I do not use any backup utilities so they cannot be to blame. And I will have gone from successfully using the email in the morning, a single phone call and then loose email access. This can often be preceeded by me loosing access to all communications including activesync, web access (of course WM6 WIFI does not work correctly with WPA-PSK so I never use WIFI)
I am very tired of re-installing everything and do not use any of the SPB apps as they have always locked up this device.
Any clues anyone? If not how can I get the original FlashRom so I can send back on warranty?
Many thanks
Tony

New Windows mobile Bing app is here!
No clear changlog is out yet.
"It's almost difficult to say how many Windows Phone owners prefer to use Microsoft's own Bing app as opposed to Google's. Luckily for those users who happily rely on using the Bing app, there is an update that brings the app to version 5.1.2010. It's unfortunate that Verizon Windows Phone owners can't get in on this update – that's because it only is available to Windows Phones on AT&T, Sprint, and T-Mobile. It's not to say that it's a bad thing for those Verizon owners because it looks to be only a maintenance update and doesn't really offer anything exciting..........."

If its any help this is version
Bing Mobile 5.1.2010.3290
Previous was
5.0.11249.0
Its alot quicker than the previous version and they have moved the menus to the bottom. I cant see much change.
I still prefer the old Bing/Live Search layout and configuration.
Movie times used to be so easy to browse, with the new style it does a bing search instead of getting the data from a provider. I think MS decided to cheap out. It's now basically useless in my books.

Using it on my Tmobile HD2 with Energy Rom. Working fine. I was using the previous version too and can't tell if there's any change. Wish it had a functional version of voice SMS like Microsoft TellMe.

Downloaded the latest directly from MS and installed on my Diamond/CDMA and it seems to be working fine. The one I used is a bit larger than the one a few posts up, so I've attached it for convenience.

Yeah, but isn't the Diamond WM 6.1?
I tested it on 6.1, but don't see why i won't work upwards, maybe the two are different versions indeed for different OS.
Mine worked on VGA TouchPro WM 6.1
i cant save 'gps tracking.' it remains unchecked everytime i check the settings. therefore gps is unable to locate me. this pop up always shows everytime i attempt to locate my position, "allow bing to access and store your location to improve searching and for navigation?" it doesnt matter if i chose ok or cancel because there are no change in results regardless. google maps is working fine for me so im sure its not a gps issue from my phone.
If you want the kindle, here's how using linux, works with latest WebOS.
1. Download & install the Palm SDK for linux
2. Just download the app file here.
http://bayfiles.com/file/RB7/oE4hSN/com.palm.app.kindle_0.11.499820_all.ipk
Go to the folder you downloaded and type this command while connected with usb cable to your touchpad, or just install the app any other way you know how.
palm-install com.palm.app.kindle_0.11.499820_all.ipk
Thank you, works perfectly. I put the ipk in my dropbox and installed it with preware without bothering with usb. It also syncs with the Amazon.co.uk accounts without a complaint.
Kindle App still available
As per title,I have searched everywhere,googled it.It was once available but i cannot for the life of me find out to where to download it from.
Any ideas?
Thanks
It has been withdrawn in Europe ( I think) but the US beta version can be had. If I remember correctly I downloaded it from webosbuzz and loaded it using webOS quick install through my desktop. You can still use a UK Amazon account to buy books despite the way the app was obtained. I'm not at home just now so I can't confirm that's where I got it but if you can't find it there post again and I'll double check.
I can't find the .ipk on the site you mentioned. If it's allowed (surely it must if it's a free app) would someone be able to post the updated .ipk on here?
This is the link to where I found it. XDA doesn't seem to allow me to upload it directly
http://www.filesonic.com/file/1779584324/Kindle.ipk
If that won't take you straight there then the link was from Webosbuzz within the HP touchpad apps forum. That particular forum is private so you have to creat an account.
Good luck.
Ps the app seems to work ok. I have been able to get books from Amazon uk- no sideloading though.
Found the newest version: http://hotfile.com/dl/128523150/76e47a4/com.palm.app.kindle_0.11.499820_all.ipk.html
The page turning makes all the difference.

That is quite some high horse your sitting on fella. It is easy for you to say that when you live in a land where the kindle app has not been withdrawn. Us euro users just want the same services that you have, after all we did pay more for our touchpads than you guys ever did.
