1.40 ROM for XDAIIs

[vospol]

Does anybody have a copy that I can have which involves not messing with and that I can flash to my XDAIIs with no country error and no o2 stuff on it so it looks like the i-mate :?:

Dude do what this (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_1.40.00_Upgrade) say's.

I've just done it: UK XDA IIs, on Orange network, running i-mate 1.40 ROM.

[u2o]

Slightly going OT...

I am quite keen to do the upgrade from my standard O2 XDA2s 1.31.00 WWE ROM, but I am a little unsure on what 1.40 ROM to download from WIKI. I think I need:

i-mate 1.40.176

I know my device is a Blue Angel, Rom as above, extended ROM as 1.31.139 WWE

Can anyone confirm the correct download please?

Also, has anyone had any problems installing on XDA's the same as mine?

I have read the install tutorial, but would like to get an idea of if I am going to run into problems.

Oh, one more thing... What advantage does ROM 1.40 have over my existing ROM apart from bug fixes (oh please! daily lockups!!!)?

Many, many thanks.

I used the i-mate 1.40.176 upgrade for my O2 XDAIIs. All in all its pretty stable, with only the Bluetooth stability (memory issues and BT Manager & Settings "disappearing") as the main issue. Much better than the O2 1.31 ROM (will they ever get that 1.40 update out...!?) You will need to use the "MAUpgrade" rather than "BAUpgrade" utility, as the 1.40.176 ROM was built for the i-mate rather than the xda2s.

One problem I did have with this ROM at the start, was that GPRS would not stay connected. This seems to be a sporadic problem among those that upgrade, but if you experience it after upgrading to this ROM, you can correct the problem by replacing the "CallerID" cab in the extended ROM with the older version (1.17) This version of the file is available on wiki also. This will involved unhiding and unlocking the Extended ROM and replacing the file. Look at the wiki instructions under Blue Angel for "Cooking Your First Extended ROM" That said, you may not experience this problem, so upgrade the ROM first and see how it goes.

All in all a much better ROM. I am trying the new O2 Asia WWE ROM with a modified extended ROM and this is also pretty good. Slighty better Wi Fi switch on and off in my opinion. This one is on wiki also, but you will probably need to "cook" the extended ROM here a bit more than the 1.40.176 version.

Hope this helps

Anybody tried the imate 1.40 rom on O2 XDA IIs purchased from Singapore?

I am facing problems to using any 'Today Plug-ins' like IP Dashboard, O2 Plus beta, Lexisgoo English dictionary etc. The problem is after say 30 minutes or after more, my keyboard input will only be selectable, cannot select CE-Star chinese keyboard or Intellipad.

What do I have on my O2 XDA IIs?

1. CE-Star
2. Intellipad and Intellidialler
3. Lexisgoo English dictionary
4. SKTools
5. Sprite backup standard
6. Cal89A calculator
7. MDict 1.21
and many more.

Please help anyone.

Thanks.

my exerience with this device and all the ROMS has been that the fewer Today plugins you have the better. SPB Pocket Plus V2.5 caused a lot of lock ups. Not sure about new version 3.0 Seems multiple Today plug ins cause conflicts. Hard to pinpoint all the interactions and what affects what... Not much help I am afraid :-[ I would just try to keep them to a minimum.

You said it man!

I'm down to zero 'Today Plug-ins' now and it seems to keep my IIs from needing to 'soft reset'.

Any others from Singapore who had used the Imate 1.40 rom?

[chris_khho]

Two major problems that I am facing with 1.40 ROM include:

1. wifi can't be connected after disconnecting GPRS.

2. bluetooth problem (memory error) or storage card disappear after disconnecting BT.

Anybody experience these?

Cheers,

Me !!

I had used the Imate rom before but, there has been many casses of terrible lag. When i updated to 1.40 and radio to 1.13 wooo... just very very fast...

Installing the latest Pocketplus with my 1.40 ROM makes my device hard-reset itself.

I need a way of getting IE to be able to save pictures. Anyone know of an alternative way to do this?

[chris_khho]

I have no problem with pocketplus 3.0.

Which version you are using?

[KTamas]

1.40 ROM has serius today screen problems with me too (That's why I still use 1.31).

[mike freegan]

I have no problem with pocketplus 3.0.

Which version you are using?

My ROM configuration is in my sig.

The SPB pocketplus version is: v3.0.0.3652

I really want the mods it offers. (particularly 'save picture as' in IE).
