New ExtROM for Telstra iMate. Has the new video viewer so you can watch Foxtel etc. Probably some other bits and pieces that I haven't had time to take a look at.

Haven't tried it with any of WM6 flavours.

Excellent work. Just loaded Black 2.0 and didn't really want to load the new rom I just downloaded from iMate website. Time to install some cabs and have a play with the Foxtel channels.

You mean the one that was released weeks ago and discussed here?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299597&highlight=telstra+rom
yeah it was discussed and released, but nobody extracted or posted the extended rom.
I asked for it, but nobody did it. This is great, got the files.... now....
i noticed a lot of new stuff.... lots of cabs that are not normally there. does anybody know what they do!!! i would like to get some of the new features, i know instinctively what a lot of them do, but i really dont have any clear guidelines or indication for the following as to whether they will add value, or clutter....

These are the two I want
videoplayer_No_Unistall
Telstra v5.2
Just wondering if I need any of the first few, at all to get the next two.
I know some gurus can extract and see in side what they do, i dont have these facilities, skills or knowledge, so if there are people who can, would you mind... i can post the cabs individually back if you wish.

I believe the player is to fix a streaming video problem that existed in that the default player did not work with the format that Foxtel is streamed using.
Not sure about the Telstra 5.2 bit. I'm not smart enought to deconstruct these things...
EDIT: Oh never mind... I just realised what the question was... It's too early in the morning to be reading and posting

the Videoplayer_no_Uninstall is for Foxtel
Telstra v5.2 is for setting up dataconnections and stuff... but this checks your IMEI before it starts...and if its not an IMATE it will not load...
Ok, i seem to have found a little bit...
NITZ is network identification and time zone disabling facility, so dont install...
MyPlace appears to be some sort of shopping or internet web facility link/app probably just to encourage us to buy more...
WaveDev is supposed to add base boost to the device for tcpmp and the like, so probably worth installing
RTSP is real time streaming protocol, so probably needed for the foxtel installation
PP Version might be to do with the java midlet, not sure yet.
MWizard cant find anything on at all yet.
3818_07 and AUS_HR and prefRat_2 still looking....
Installed MyPlace cab which has a few good web shortcuts. Also installed the Videoplayer_no_Uninstall is for Foxtel, but it comes up with an error when I start the app."PVPlayer cannot be opened. Not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its componets cannot be found".
So I think it may need another one of the CAB's installed to get it working.
ANyone else had a play with this yet?
Cheers,
Dev
RTSP didn't help, still got the error.
I'll try another cab.
i have extracted and got all the cabs. i havent tried the foxtel, though that is the one that i want.
there is a subscription fee.
also an imei check is required, if you dont have imate, it wont install apparently. mine is imate jasjam, so hopefully it will work.

Getting a bit of research going, and testing.
FIRSTLY. IF YOU HAVE WM6 DO NOT INSTALL PV PLAYER OR RTSC.
You dont need it. Media Streaming works for Foxtel services. The reason PV Player is available is due to WM5 and the shortfall of the OS. WM6 uses media streaming and it works, so we dont need that.
The new telstra cab file is beneficial. It installs the correct settings for MMS and internet, sets the WAP facility and i also find i get better phone connection, might be an appearance, see later.
The proxy manager that is installed should be used with My Places, to force the system through the WAP and thus receive the concessional access charges of My Places. Also, My Places being WAP based, is very text limted, and download size limited compared to most, so the cost of access is much cheaper.
However, I suspect leaving the proxy on is going to interfere with push email, and general browsing. So its a matter of turning the proxy on before connecting to the internet (and WIFI is not available when proxy on), so that you can connect to the internet My Places and their rosey garden of chosen content.
However it is possible to access foxtel via the normal internet settings, but suspect if you do that you are going to get or incur premium data charges.
So in summary the ones i wanted i dont want, and the ones i didnt want or need, i installed. Not all though, if I couldnt see a reason for them, skipped them.
Still awaiting some feedback or input in what most of them were about, but if you are on telstra, then some of the items in that extended rom are worth while.
If somebody after this does want to know what i installed, and the effects (if known!), PM me. Its going to be a bit of trial and error over time, so better to PM rather than me keep posting back....
Also, might be beneficial for somebody to consider looking at some of the other files like the mms and other cab files, to see if they are newer, better, or more efficient than the standard device settings.
Personally, i aint gonna bother unless i find a need, i am sure anything in wm6 is going to be better than what imate are releasing.... (thanks to jasjamming and his premium wm 6 OS.... )
Thanks for the info simon. It is appreciated.
Is any of this required in WM6? Is it possible to just get the ExtRom by itself? I upgradded to the latest ROM from iMate/Telstra, but i want to upgrade to WM6 too...
just download ext rom review as reqd but install telstra cab and my places cab if u want foxtel. there are 3 others installed and didnt appear tause harm but cant see what they did or the benfits.
somebody needs to open the cabs and let us know wot they do.
i also installed the 3518 odd ball one, the one with AUS in it and pref-rat as its name imples prwference rates but dont really know wot these 3 did... but again caused no apparent harm.
Have installed those two cabs but cant get Foxtel to work.
I go to my place and click on the Foxtel icon, and I get the following error "Page cannot be displayed or downloaded because the connection was lost". I do have a data connection as my push mail & web browsing works perfectly. I'll have to try other cabs as when I click on Bigpond music icon on My Place, it comes up and says Non Telstra, so there is obviously something missing.
Any ideas anyone?
Dev
Do you have the telstra proxy turned on?
you should b able to access wap on my places without proxy. proxy reqd for most things though including foxtel.
can u browse the internet? is connection set to internet or work?
if that fails disconnect from internet and use the telstra proxy and view the rese coloured telstra garden...
No, I didnt have proxy enabled. Just turned it on and it doesnt make any difference as I still get the same error message. When I click on the Foxtel icon, it want to connect to Telstra.internet, not Telstra.Wap. Both my WAP & Internet connections are working perfectly.
I'm stumped!
Dev
Yea - I cant get fox or AFL vids to function either. Can browse to the wap sites, etc, and click on the TV stuff, it loads up the Windows Media player, says 'Failed to connect', then closes.
Im working with WM6 Black 2.0, with just the Telstra 5.2 cab and My places cab installed. Proxy was set to 'On' for my testing.
Would like to know if I need any other cabs from the Ext rom to get it to work.
i am having difficulties. still testing. but... in media streaming ... need to set the connections settings as to which to use may be secure wap or simply wap. not sure which yet.
i had the test working ok... cant get live to work yet. need to fiddle and ensure doesnt exceed downloads while testing...
Hi....I recently flashed CUSTEL'S V2.5 WM6 and I was running Dopod WM6. With dopod wm6, IE was full version and I got full websites with great quality pictures etc. Now, with CUSTEL'S WM6, I am on Pocket IE and it just plain stinks. Is there a way to change IE or get rid of the "pocket" version or do I have to live with it while using this WM6 rom?
U can try Netfront, Opera, P.I. plus for your PPC. Just do a search for more info on these...
You never had a "full" IE as your calling it. It was Pocket IE in both roms, however, there might of been some setting changes. Do you have images turned on? Are you browsing through a mobile proxy now? Make sure you are going to the same addresses as before.

Well, I just had to assume it was full....things like yahoo for instance, if I went to yahoo b4, I would get the full yahoo website. Now, I automatically get redirected to mobile yahoo...and images on all websites are very low quality where as b4 they were fine. I can not find anywhere to change these settings.
there will be a option in pocket ie somewhere can't remember where atm, (i'm currently hooked on opera ppc 8.65) where you can tell pie to identify itselfs as a mobile browser, you will get pages optimised for mobile devices.(or it might be in pieplus or one of the other reg hacks )
or you can tell it to identify as a ie6 in which case you will get web pages desgined for a full size screen...
registry hack
it's a registry hack that announces what version of IE you're using.
Do a google search and you'll get you're answer.
It's HKLM/SOFTWARE/MICROSOFT/ Windows/ Current Version/Internet Settings/5.0/User Agent
Change Version to MSIE 6.0

Hahaha, probably faster as to login on a forum and ask you're question!
Thanks for the replies.....I am unfamiliar with how to get into the registry so I will have to figure something else out.
get a tweak program
A lot of the tweaking programs will do this for you.
www.tweaks2k2.net is one of the best
What if we used a Proxy Server instead of the WAP servers, and mobile servers that are provided.. then wouldnt the pages show up in full form?
Hi guys,
Just got my Mozart yesterday and trying to get it to work with my work network.
Questions as follows:
A)- Anyone managed to configure and gain access to their own private APN? - I've entered the settings into mobile network options but it doesn't see it.
B)- How is one supposed to go about installing security certificates (for the likes of exchange)?
thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Just been on the phone to orange
Answer to A is that these devices will only connect using CHAP authentication (instead of the PAP standard the previous WM devices used to connect with!) - Fed this back to orange as an issue.
Just need to sort out the certificates problem now!
Get yourself a 3rd party certificate from GoDaddy. only £50 for a multiple site licence for a year! Then you won't need to install your locally signed certificate
thanks for the input mate.
Orange recommended emailing the certificates to myself (The test hotmail Live account) - gunna try that first once I sort all the proxy crap out lol
B) emailing worked for me, I actually followed the instruction in this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8929240&postcount=4
Yep. E-mail certificate, install. Make sure you reboot phone.
yeah that worked for me 2 - thanks guys.
I emailed the certificates to the hotmail live account and just installed them from there. Exchange then sync'd up fine.
i can't believe though that microsoft have launched WP7 without MS Office Communicator! - I tried to download it but can't find it in the app store....
Just makes me wonder how the heck we are going to deploy these devices with all these limitations.... i.e. No PAP support, no communicator, no business applications (without market place!) - means for businesses the HD2 and Touch Pro2 devices are still more suited.
I hope Microsoft don't make too many concessions for the consumer market leaving all us business users behind....heres looking forward to Chassis 2 development starting, and a decent device management solution....
Hi mates..
Can anyone please tell how t configure Hotspot Shield? My problem is that Market is blocked in my country and the only way to access it is by changing my IP..
I tried adding VPN in the settings/wireless and networks menu but it doesn't work..
I also tried VPN Connections 0.99 app but it FCs when I try to connect..
I think it requires a custom kernel but I hope somone knows how to use it in stock ROM/kernel..
Any help is highly appreciated..
Thanks..

Hi pal,
Sorry but I know nothing about Hotspot Shield neither would I trust anyone to secure my data on my behalf when I can do it myself, especially if american!
Maybe this could help you, not only Androidwise: you could use it for all your web activities (BTW what's your country?)
You can use "SSH Tunnel Beta" from the market.
As you cannot access it I am posting the apk.
Or you could search SSHTunnel(BETA) v1.6.0beta.apk on google and you might find it.
Works like a charm, I use it to encrypt and to change my IP, whatismyip.org correctly reports the IP of the ssh server.
You need an ssh server to act as a proxy obviously.
(alternative is an proxy but firemole is not available on android)
All you need is a linux box in a datacenter.
Provider gives you root and password that you should change to something super secure, adduser name, disable root logins (/etc/ssh/sshd_config) and a few more things to be secure or if you like to risk.. just use the provided rootassword on your ssh tunnel app
I hire from www.leaseweb.com which is in NL or DE, you can get a VPS linux from many providers and they cost under 10 euro / month or get superb dedicated servers like I do if you have a use for them . Bandwidth is great but depends from the network in you country and also on the backbones used but you hardly care about this others are www.lowendbox.com and www.vps4you.it that offer 30 day trial
Hope this helps and doesn't just confuse you... But if you live in a country where things are banned I guess this would upgrade your web freedom
Now lets get back to work
G
PS you could also use it on your wireless router (get a www.dd-wrt.com / opnwrt / pfsense capable router) and you're done house/firm-wide
Thanks alot for the info mate
I'll see what I can do and report back..
Really appreciate your help
PS. btw am from Sudan..
Ive looked all over the internet to no avail. I am trying to access the hotspot admin settings. T-Mobile has provided information to their customers on how to access these settings for T-Mobile phones, but I have yet to find any information regarding this for any other carriers. Does anybody know how to access admin settings for the wifi hotspot feature? Is there a generic web address to punch in to get access? is there a carrier specific web address?
I have a Galaxy SII GT-I9100M on Sasktel network.
**Edit**
OK. So I just found an app on Google Play that lets you access extra info and I think it allows to access advanced settings, but its only for the SCH-LC11. You can find it looking thru Google Play for "Hotspot Admin SCH-LC11" Thats the actual full name for the app so im just assuming that it only works for that particular model. I may be wrong and it might not provide access to settings but its something like this that im looking for. The best I can describe it is the same as the admin page for a router. Its this that I am looking for. T-Moblie tells their customers to go to web page ****** but when i try that it doesnt come up with a page. any help would be appreciated!
Here's the webpage I seen for T-Mobile:
********
Ok so XDA forum wont let me post outside links just yet but if you want to know the info just ask for it and i will find a way to get it to you.
Not sure which ROM you are running but on mine (Cynogenmod 10.1 based on android 4.2.1) go to settings. Then in the first section (Wireless & network) go to "Tethering & portable hotspot".
