Home cooked extended rom files for Windows 2003 SE

[Shikra]

Hi,
Running w2k3se 2.06 wwe for a day now. Looks quite stable. As this is intrim build (in between dcs and CHS version) there are bound to be bugs.

Most have noted camera failing the landscape. I think it would be better if we can list the bugs so that we can try to solve them.

I found many of the bugs cropped if we used older external rom files with w2kse .

Good that many of us are coming out with home cooked extended rom files. The big problem is to find which of these files are better and which are not.

Let me give you example MIDI56.sa.CAB give a better performance than MIDI561.sa.CAB. And rember the cleartype of 1.60 to 1.72 and so on.

The other problem with cooked extrom is that 70-80% file are same in many of them with very few new files. I am on dialup and it takes quite a bit of time to down load 6MB file just to get a customised cab. Also the server will have that much of load.

So my sugestion is we need a repository of file which are included in extrom. Why not seperate the cab files and just publish their customised config.txt in the post.

I think we need to create a thread of only those files. Suggestion are welcome.

OK! Lets starrt the ball rolling.

Noted the followings for v2.06 ROM posted by mystery man:-

1) Sometimes the bluetooth icon on the Today screen would mysteriously disappear. Worst case is when the Today Settings don't even have the Bluetooth Profile although the blue light is blinking.

2) The camera menu got stuck in landscape mode after repeated switching from portrait-to-landscape and vice versa. Soft reset could not resolve the problem. However, after some time of use the problem automatically resolves itself.

"The phone is not ready. Wait 15 seconds then try again"

This is when accessing the phone icon in the settings menu, or when trying to send an sms message.

hi,
few more bugs on 2.06
1. After playing around with landscpae and portrait several times, phone would loose last two rows of buttons both in landscape as well as potrait mode. Soft reset corrected it.

2. MMS composer is not started if you choose from programs, but this can be bypassed by going to the outlook and start coposing.

If you notice startup folder of w2k3se several of the w2k3 startup programs are missing. Is that why SE is faster and I noticed my battery now lasts longer than W2K3 ;-)

This is something I've always seen if trying to access any of the phone's advanced functionality right after a reset, even with my old XDA.

This is akin to trying to access phone numbers on ye olde ubiquious nokia phone SIM card right after turning on.
