Hi all,

I'm new to everything here and just had a few newbie questions.

I have an O2 Xda 2 but i want to remove everything O2 related from the phone. I am currently using a TIM sim-card but don't really want everything TIM related to be installed either. Is it possible to just have a default phone that simply uses the TIM part of things for calls n messages only?

Ringtones..... What file types are acceptable for use? And what can i use to convert mp3's to a decent length and size for use as such.

More if i think of them.

Thanks in advance

hey,

regarding:

"Ringtones..... What file types are acceptable for use? And what can i use to convert mp3's to a decent length and size for use as such."

you can use wav files, midi and wma. for mp3s; you can always find a decent mp3-wav converter...but that would mean your filesize for one ringtone would be big. what you can do is convert it to wma; that should make the size smaller. or; you could play the mp3 via your xda and then use the recorder to record a part of the mp3 song you want....(recorder to record...a little redundant there :D )

for the first one; are you saying you want to take out the entire o2 rom???

cheers

you can find LAME here
http://mitiok.cjb.net/
command line is: lame --decode <mp3file> <wavfile>
This is the highest quality encoder/decoder for MP3 available

as for WMA, there are 2 ways of creating this.
1. Put your device into the craddle, open Windows Media Player, put every file you want to send to the playlist. Go to CD/Devices section. On right hand panel choose your XDA as your device, and press sync button.
2. Take of the SD card, put into your SD card reader on your computer, do like above, but this time choose your SD card as your device.

There is one annoying bug at WMP9 even WMP10 beta. sometimes, if you are lucky, your MP3 file will be converted to WMA automatically and then transferred automatically. Otherwise, it's just plain copied. This is not happen to WAV files anyway.

The only O2 related item is O2 wallpaper there, and support link. You can just delete the shortcut from the start menu, and it's gone. Much of O2 related item are third party software actually. Your SIM card functionality is hidden under Programs->SIM Tool kit.
