Which ROM is the best for XDA 2i???

[felixx_do]

Hi all,
I wonder which ROM is best for my XDA 2i?I use the Modified ROM V.1.11.00 WWE- Radio 1.03.00-ExtROM 1.11.162.However,the signal is not stable;I can't connect to GPRS as well(Im using O2 UK PAYG).

[DAz999]

Hi, I've been looking into which is the best ROM, I was thinking of swapping to the I-mate PDA2 ROM. But the general feeling is the modified 02 with Radio 1.03. This is what I have put on mine and I'm on PayT vodafone UK, my GPRS worked fine after I installed the attached file. :lol:

Unless your loaded a word of warning Vodafone charge £7.50 for a 1Mb download of data on PayT!!!!!!!! I found this out after I had subscribed to TomTom Traffic on TTN 5.1, waste of my money now, GPRS too expensive, looking at other PayT deals ie. T-Mobile +£2.60 per Mb, although still too expensive. :x


Copy to XDA IIi. Access the copied file on your XDA IIi , click on it to run and it will install all the UK settings for Vodafone. Please keep a copy, as the install deletes itsself automatically. :twisted:

[DAz999]

Sorry was half asleep when I wrote my original replay, which refers to vodafone not 02, please find the correct file for 02 PAYT attached. :D

[Danny-B-]

are these the settings for the free GPRS on PAYT on O2 ?

or have they realised their error yet ?

[haider]

hello,

i've been looking everywhere for the 02 paymonthly gprs settings, i tried the pay as you go settings, but it didnt seem to work.

i was on the phone to 02 for hours last time until we got it to sort of half work, but i had to hard reset when i updated my rom. i installed with corporate user, and now i dont have gprs settings again. anyone know how to do it?

much much appreciated!

How do you work with CAB files? Just double-click like an executable? What does this update to the GPRS do?? Will it affect my WiFI settings?

the cab files will only modify/add settings into your registry. it will not affect your wifi settings

Again, do I simply double-click the CAB file to install the "registry" (if that is what happens)? And specifically, what will this O2_UK_PAYG file do to my settings? If I add something like the TMobile caller ID patch (another CAB file), how will that affect the general O2 settings of my XDA unit (I am a TMobile customer running under the O2 ROM)?

To run a CAB file just find it with File Explorer and click it. It will automatically be deleted afterwards

Your new settings should either overwrite the old ones or add an addition set of network settings that you then select as the defaults.

Thanks man, i really really really appreciate it. must have been long! you didnt have to include pictures!

Thanks again anyway. i really do appreciate it. :) :oops:

No worries chap, any more problems just shout!

As for the pictures etc, I would sooner do it properly once and refer people who ask in the future to there, than end up doing it over and over....

[DAz999]

To run the cab files, copy to your PDA and double click to run. These cabs just update the registry, it doesn't matter. As long as your PDA is SIM-Free, any carrier should work.

They are the official files from the IMATE website, which has cabs for most carriers including worldwide. You can only download these files from IMATE website if you have a registered device. They should work on all XDA or other brand names etc. :twisted:

[DAz999]

I have uploaded the rest of the available cabs for the UK carriers, contact and PAYT. So in combination with my earlier uploads, these are all the UK carrier settings for the UK

There are cabs for other countries and carriers available, let me know your carrier, contract (PAYT or Contract) And I will try to locate the correct cab file.

These are the offical cabs from IMATE. They only update your registry and nothing else. Copy to your PDA and click to run.

[haider]

just one other thing, once the gprs connects, its stays on? how do u disconnect it - save battery? it used to end connection once mms was d/l or u/l and there was an option to disconnect when pressing on G icon?

small detail cos i can always soft reset or activate wireless, but would be handy, thanks again!

If you are a T-mobile cstomer,then I suggest you use the T-Mobile file I have uploaded, it is for T-Mobile contract users. It doesn't matter what ROM you have, it only sets up the gprs and wap settings, by writing to the registry on PDA. :D

I just open 'Wireless Manager', if the GPRS is connected then the icon will be green, tap the icon to disconnect. :twisted:

[haider]

yeah, thanks i did realise afterwards. i think i'm just acting a bit spoilt. although i still have a few more bugs in the phone... :( (multiple copies of my messages are being sent out).

thanks everyone. :)

Hi, all

I have had a look at the carrier cab installs, I uploaded and found out that you can change your splash screen with these cabs as well.

XDA IIi installation

Go to this link for instructions on how to create the 2 files you will need.

http://pocketpcdubai.infopop.cc/groupee/forums/a/tpc/f/582600994/m/138105069

They have the Windows program for conversion and some example jpg's or create your own Splash screen. This program runs on your PC.

In the program save your chosen jpg as twice as system1.nb and then repeat with same jpg and save as system2.nb.

Copy these files to your PDA Windows directory. Then copy the correct carrier cab file (listed earlier), click to run, it will then install/re-install your GPRS and WAP settings and update your splash screen, it will probably freeze, then do a soft reset and voila you will see your new splash screen. To change just repeat the process and overwrite your 2 files in windows directory with your new ones and use the cab again.

**Please note the GPRS cab files will only update your splash screen if you have copied the correct files to the windows directory on your pda.

If you do not want to change your splash screen, then simply run the cab file without copying/creating system1 or system2, and this will just install your chosen carrier internet settings etc**


One more thing I mentioned in an eariler post that the cabs update your GPRS and WAP, well they also install your MMS settings as well.

Enjoy :twisted:

[DAz999]

Sorry made a mistake on the save files not system1.nb/system2.nb.

The correct file names are splash1.nb and splash2.nb. :wink:

[sainthalo]

Will the above CAB file install settings into my MAGICIAN (ORANGE SPV M500)?

Thank you.

[DAz999]

Hi Admin,

Where have all the cab files for the operator settings gone? :(

Thanks

[DAz999]

Hi Admin, they suddenly appeared again, so please ignore my last message :lol:

[DAz999]

I don't know, but since it has WM2003SE, I don't see why not, it only writes to the registry and inserts the settings that can be done by manual input. Not sure about spash screen mod.

Can Anbody else help sainthalo?


:D

From O2 : Re: No free WAP and or GPRS.

A) Your mobile number 07********* has a free allowance bundle of 300 text messages and 300 GSM WAP minutes. This is why you are charged for accessing GPRS WAP.

I request that you immediately call 2425 free or text 'ONMSG' to 21300 to change your free 300 GSM WAP minutes to 1 Mb GPRS WAP.

Your Anniversary date is the **nd of every month.

B) I cannot find any top-up attempt for your mobile number 07******** in the last 30 days. This is why your free allowance bundle has not been reactivated.

"ACTUALY I DID TOPUP AT 10.A.M. I RECIEVED MY TOPUP AT ABOUT 1PM"

Please let us know which top-up method was used. E-TOPUP WAS USED

I ASKED FOR SOME COMPENSATION:

Hi, I used your wonderful pictures to set up my gprs and they work beautifully. Thank you. However, I had to hard reset my XDA II as I think I'd been messing around with the gprs settings and had dozens saved.

Now, rather oddly, when I click on the O2 Active button at the top, it's all in German. I've definitely got the UK ticked in the connections box. It's not a huge problem, but does anyone have any ideas how to get it back to English?

Thanks again

sorry MaskedMarauder, i wanna know the name of the writing program that i see into the picture??

Thanks

[o2se3tak]

I've been using PUGS updated ROM version dated 27/1/05 (dowloaded from this forum in 2006) on my xda 2i since two years without any problems. However, when I recently tried to use activesync over wifi for the first time, I immediatly got a warning alert from the antivirus on the PC about an illegal access by the "Sinit Trojan" from the IP address of the XDA. As I had many programs installed on the XDA, I did a hard reset of the device and repeated the procedure with the same results.

Does this mean that PUGS rom is infected with the Sinit Trojan?

[Rizlo]

WTF... this was supposed to be a thread about ROMs... no moderators? This PDA is sooo dead...

[deedee]

WTF... this was supposed to be a thread about ROMs... no moderators? This PDA is sooo dead...

This PDA is so many things, dead it most certainly isn't. I still have one in active daily service.

[The Owl]

WTF... this was supposed to be a thread about ROMs... no moderators? This PDA is sooo dead...

I agree with DeeDee I got given mine about 12 - 18 months ago and I am TOTALLY happy with it yes I agree it would have been nice IF they had worked a new ROM for WM5 or WM6 but who really cares it works well its DAM FAST (still one of the fastest PDA's around) shame they didn't fit it with 128 instead of 64 meg because thats the only thing that even slows it slightly the chip is still one of the fastest, I have TomTom 6.75 running on it covering the whole of western Europe and of course the UK I have a "Simplicity" £15 a month Sim which does me and for the odd time I am out of signal which is VERY VERY rare I have a old Nokia 6310i with a Vodaphone PAYG Sim, thing is I am quite disabled so walking is a no go so if I break down I need help there and then the PDA mounts in a nice Brodit mount in the car and in a Cradle in my "work" area and another cradle in my Bedroom, I have computers to do all the multimedia stuff the camera in it is good enough for those quick snaps if I want better I use my "Real" camera.

I bet you your never satisfied with anything in your life either are you?

Always wanting bigger faster newer you'll learn eventually, with time.

[Rizlo]

Wait, wait, lol, so many assumptions about me... I never meant to bash the PDA, it's the only one I have and I agree with you about it being so fast. I was talking about community support... you have to agree, we bought the htc device that would have been the less supported, tweaked, improved by the community.

I think this pocket pc was way ahead when it came out, that's why it was so promising and I wanted it, and many other similar (but inferior) devices were being updated with WM5/6 roms, so I thought it was only a matter of time. Then we all came to know that this would never happen to our PDA, and we had to deal with it. We have a really powerful thing, but we cannot install most of the latest software on it. We cannot TURN IT OFF. We can't even let its battery drown, because that means data loss. Can you believe that? Of course you can, you have one don't you.

Besides that, a couple weeks ago I installed PointUI on my Alpine and was blown away, I felt like I had a new phone... incredibly smooth animated interface, acting iphone/touchflo like (gestures an stuff), beautiful look... and many apps run MUCH faster and smoother than on a Diamond - on a device SOME YEARS older :)

I know what I have, and respect it, I'm just a bit sad cause I know my Alpine will never be exploited, made the most of, as it should have been.

AND there were too many OT messages in this thread (IHMO) :)

[Brokul]

Hi,
I,ve bought an alpine few days ago,
it has:
ROM 1.11.00 WWE
Radio 1.04.00
Protocol 1337.42
ExtRom 1.11.171 WWE

Are those roms ok, ro is there something better I shoud install?
