XDA2s Extended Rom Files Description

[sleepnow]

My shiny new XDA2s arrived today and now its time to get down to business. For me, this involves two things:

1. Unlock the d*mn thing (may not be as easy as it was for the old XDA2)
2. Strip out all the unnecessary O2 stuff that may get in the way being as that I'm on Orange.

I've not seen any posts here yet where people actually get into what file is for what on this baby, so if you have and idea, please clue us all in!

Just to be clear, we're talking about the new new XDA2s (i.e. Blue Angel)

Thanks

hope this helps

[vo1968]

and this

[sleepnow]

Excellent, but I don't think the xda2unlocker works on the new XDA2s does it?

[nvgear]

what does "UKORGCustomize.CAB" do ?????

[Apec]

Yep more info guys would be helpfull thanks you.

[vo1968]

re files: it's more fun putting stuff on your phone when you don't know what it is!!!!!!!ORGUK is orange customization, i put it on mine, think it's GRASS screen, back-up, update.

[nvgear]

hahah yea that can be fun, but it wont be fun to hard reset and reinstall everything... maybe if i was in highschool with nothing else better to dooooo :P

[vo1968]

but by making mistakes you learn more. i know how to flash phone really easy now. life is too short, experiment!!!!!

[nvgear]

yes yes i learned how to flash it too after 10 minutes but STILL, there are some damages (software-wise) that will screw up your phone so bad you wont be able to re-flash it...

anyone with the UK xda2s can post the Extended ROM cab files please?

thanks

after using xda2,
i found xda 2s,
verry bad like the screen its i think 50% dull than the xda2
and the jabra bluetoot which worked fine with xda2 dosen't work well with 2s lot of hissing,
i am really unhappy with the screen quality,
so guy's and gal's stick to xda2 and pray that xda3 will have a crisp and clear screen and the bluetoot will work fine,

[xda-rocks]

I agree with jaykumarr, the Blue Angel in it's present configuration is a lemon.
The only advantages being a slide out keyboard which I can live without and a wifi connection, which with the number of open wifi networks around can be handy.
The disadvantages being almost too many to mention - eg. poor sound quality, bluetooth doesn't work properly, poor screen, button lock unlocks when the os enlivens on any event, etc, etc.

sleepnow et al,

I really like the black enclosure of the XDA IIs over the the PDA2k or MDA III, but don't want to be tied down to the O2 ROM. In my case, I'd like to take an XDA IIs and:

1. Unlock it
2. Install either the MDA III T-Mobile ROM, or the PDA2k ROM.

Please keep us posted as to your progress, as it seems what you're trying to do here is similar.

[xda-rocks]

I downloaded O2 extrom and put it in storage on my MDAIII . Did hard reset and soft reset before t-mobile etxrom loaded, then manually installed o2 extrom. I now have O2 XDAIIs, but with silver case :-(

[radar]

Someone else who doesn't like the O2 software but likes the black case!

I've sat and played with the extended rom, on a IIs. Hard reset the thing, and then stopped the auto install and then run each of the cabs by itself to see what it does. I've got most of them, but not all of them.

Below is what I've got so far. Any mistakes, or additions let me know please.

Thanks

Can anyone post the latest ROM and Radio upgrade files for the XDA2s.....Please

[chriscole]

I have a feeling that:

BA_cm_rm_map_o2_v3

Installs something that autocompletes the phone number/email of a contact when you start typing their name into the "To:" field of a text message/email.

At least, I upgraded my XDA IIs to the newer i-Mate ROM and it stopped doing this (although the new ROM means that pressing the message hard button no longer always brings up Outlook Mail - yay!). Installed that .cab from the O2 extended ROM, reset, and it started autocompleting names again.

If someone else could confirm that's what that cab does it'd be appreciated.

Chris.
