O2 Xda IIs Asian Extended Extended ROM

[[Krueger]Dr.Stein]

Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition Version 4.21.1088 (Build 14132)

O2 Xda IIs Asian Extended ROM plus Xda IIx Extended Extended ROM

First off I'd like to say that some of you are pathetic to the core. Having said that I also like to add that I believe I can throw any amount of insults and yet the same people will still download in spite of. This brings us back to my first point.

I've posted the M.O. on extracting the Extended ROM from the Xda IIs but no one bothered to even try. Sad is that Xda IIs has been sold out of stock twice or more and yet zero Asian O2 Xda IIs owners came forward.

It doesn't matter anyway. End of story.

Hi Dr. Stein!


Thank you for your postings.

I don't own an IIs so I really look forward to such postings to have an enhanced experience.

Thank you again.

:D

[FOSA]

Hi Dr. Stein!

One question.

Whats the difference between the 2 EXT ROMs? Care to elaborate whats added/removed?

Thanks

:roll:

[FOSA]

Ooooops! Sorry!

The 1st file is not the EXT ROM.

:oops:

[skuld]

Umm, first of all I'd like to thank you for providing your ROMs to us. In my case, it's not like I'm not putting an effort in looking for an Asian XDAIIs Extended ROM. But the people that I know, none of them owns an XDAIIs. So I guess you should try to understand that not all people are as fortunate as you are to have a friend that owns an XDAIIs and allows you to copy files off it ... :) Try not to be bitter and just remember that we are just trying to help each other out here ... Thanks again, doc.

[mann2]

Thanks Dr. Stein! I hope my mongrel 2003SE will now begin to look like an 02 after im done customizing.

[[Krueger]Dr.Stein]

I sincerely apologize for my outburst. It was wrong for me to take on this forum as my wrath does not belong here.

And now for the business proper.

The first zip file contains the Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition Version 4.21.1088 (Build 14132) and Radio 1.18.00 and not Xda IIs ROM and Radio as this has not yet been exploited.

The second is the O2 Xda IIs Asian Extended ROM plus Xda IIx Extended Extended ROM which has two folders carrying CABs to be extracted to the folders named.

Dr.Stein
Trying to irritate you again ;) Is it only for XDAIIs or for XDAII also
First file is it similar to dcs or mystery man's version. I mean is
OS ROM :2.06
or
OS ROM : 2.02t1
or
totally different?
. I am asking this as I am on dialup connection and it takes hours to download 17MB here :cry:

[FOSA]

Hi Dr. Stein!


Just to confirm.

In order to perform the upgrade I'll have to dump all the EXT ROM files (from the 2 folders) into the same folder as the Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition Version 4.21.1088 (Build 14132) and Radio 1.18.00 and then run HimaUpgradeUT, right?

2nd question - If I only need S'pore and Malaysia telcos I'll have to edit the AutoConfig file by deleting all other unwanted telcos and re-save it again, correct?

:roll:

[rehman]

You need not to reflash ur device. I have my extended ROM unlocked so I just deleted everything from extended rom and filled it with the one dr. has provided. Did a hard reset and everything came alive. I've to say this extended rom is great except camera doesn't seem to work. I recon if i remove Camera_Patch_10080401.sa.CAB from config. txt, things should be fine with camera as well.

Don't forget to remove TPDISABLE.EXE from config.txt otherwise u won't be able to interact with SE warning msg. Enjoy!

Negative.

Extract the contents of Extended ROM and Storage folders to the respective named folders existing in your Xda II.

Now run the HimaUpgradeUT.exe from the WM2003SE Xda IIx folder.

Provided the Xda II has already been flashed with WM2003SE ROM and Radio ROM of your choice.

The camera patch is needed for SE customization. Your camera didn't work probably because you did not install the CABs from the Storage folder I have included as an Extended Extended ROM. If you go through the Config.txt you will know what I am talking about.

Hi rehman!


I've the EXT ROM 'unlockextrom' file on my O2. Upon tapping it amessgae prompts out which says

debug

Usage: unlockextrom [-lock | -unlock] [-hide | -unhide]

How to unlock the EXT ROM?

Another question is if I only need S'pore and Malaysia telcos I'll have to edit the AutoConfig file by deleting all other unwanted telcos entries and re-save it again, correct?


Thanks

[[Krueger]Dr.Stein]

Works fine on mine.

[FOSA]

Hi Dr. Stein!


Sorry for the repeated question. I was typing when you posted the reply.

Yes. Just remove the unwanted CABs from the Extended ROM folder and edit the AutoConfig.txt accordingly.

[FOSA]

Hi Dr Stein!


I'm getting somewhere now. Thanks for your guidance as I'm able to see my EXT ROM files now on my O2.

BTW, I could not get the screen of the debug you posted although I could get it from the Settings -> Menus

How to do it?

Thanks again

[[Krueger]Dr.Stein]

I don't really get you. You could get the debugscreen from Settings -> Menus - where?

[rehman]

Yes Dr. I did copy files in storage folder as well. All those cabs were also installed during extended rom setup as they're mentioed in config.txt file. My problem is that camera applicatin opens but viewfinder doesn't seem to work. Camea version is 2.21 (Build 17576).

[[Krueger]Dr.Stein]

Why does mine show Version 2.50 (Build 15954)?

Are you certain you installed the 2 Camera CABs from the Storage folder?

[rehman]

I'm sure because all other storage apps like extended rom unlocker, view, intellidial and intellipad are installed. I wonder what went wrong with the camera :(

[[Krueger]Dr.Stein]

I double-checked and reconfirmed the CABs I have included are the exact ones I am using now.

I am using SOTI Pocket Controller to capture screenshots but is limited to portrait view and no scroll page shots.

Is there a better or rather what is the best screen capture software that is able to take portrait, landscape, create *.gif, full webpage / scrollpage shots and capture realtime video shots?

[rehman]

Dr. Stein!
Screen Capture softwares, please check the URL below

http://www.pocketpcmag.com/awards/category_2004.asp?catid=45#ScreenCapture

[[Krueger]Dr.Stein]

Read through all the softwares description but none satisfy all the functions that I hoped for.

Do you know which ones are able to take portrait, landscape, create *.gif, full webpage / scrollpage shots and capture realtime video shots Bro?

[rehman]

Sorry Dr. not at this time but I would keep ur requirements in mind and if could find such a software will surely let ya know!

[FOSA]

Hi Dr. Stein!

I've WM2003se with asian customization file from Lazzy installed in my O2. The unlockextrom file was already in there.

So, I went to START -> SETTINGS -> MENUS and Extrom Tools is listed there. Just check the box and you'll get the debug screen as what you've posted.

:D

[FOSA]

Hi!

FI, my camera version is 2.51 (Build 16393)

:roll:

[FOSA]

Hi Dr Stein!

I found this in the AutoConfig file

[Default]
CAB: \Extended_ROM\6inone.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\O2ASIA_WWE_Customization_0923.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\O2_Default.sa.CAB
EXEC:\Extended_ROM\UpdateStartMenu.exe
RST: Reset


But I could not find the 6inone.cab file. Is this important or should I delete that line in the AutoConfig file?

Thanks

But the exe file is nowhere to be found in the EXT ROM? Similarly for the TPEnable.exe file although they are shown in the Config file.

So what now?

:roll:

[rehman]

Beg your pardon! TPENABLE & TPDISABLE .exe files are not there in extended rom but they're mentioned in config.txt file which ofcourse doesn't matter.

Dr.Stein]I am using SOTI Pocket Controller to capture screenshots but is limited to portrait view and no scroll page shots.

I already am Bro. But it doesn't support Landscape mode when I switch the display in SOTI cocks up.

[foxnolds]

Ah ha, I see what you mean now.. I just tried Landscape mode and saw the BAD display via SOTI Pocket Controller v4.12!

I just assumed it would work as I have used rotate display before I upgraded the Mobile to WM2003SE.

Maybe a fix in SOTI 4.13...

[kinglee]

It work if you disable that XDAII skin.
I had tried it and it is just fine using the native look and applying the landscape rotate on it.
