Got my new English MDA PRo ...

[hoogerhuis]

... but want to make some changes. Is someone who nows how to:

*remove the T-Mobile coloured dialer pad (phone pad) and changes the colours back to the original Windows Mobile colours
*remove the T-Mobile logo and put back the normal operator name. I am going to have the SIM unlocked, but he point is that even if I use Vodafone the operator name is the T-Mobile logo

If the above can be solved by not installing a part of the extended rom (but I do ot know what part), than please advise me. Maybe I have to change to the Qtek ROM when available. Can I just delete the extended ROM in WM5?

Hoogerhuis,

1: Hard reset your MDA Pro, reset it when it says that it starts installing the additional applications

2: Download the following file ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/mda_pro_eng_nl_extrom.zip, copy the contents to an SD card, and on your MDA PRO install all the cabs *except* TMO_NL_UI_0727_signed.CAB which contains the User Interface for T-Mobile.

** Do not launch the exe files or autorun.exe, or it will install everything out of the extended rom.

Actually I was wrong about the file that does the T-Mobile dialer skin etc. The file that should not be installed manually is:

Enable_VT_RTPlugin_0727_2_signed.CAB,
(I justed tested and confirmed that myself

Wiz, many thanks. I indeed tested it myself also and saw which one was the problem. You could use the i-Mate jasjar version of that file, although I don't know what that file does besides changing the dialer skin.

Are you also Wiz at PocketPC-club.nl (now PocketInfo.nl)?

[Wiz]

No, installing the Jasjar equivalent will not set it back to default. The Jasjar uses the standard WM5 dialer skin and therefore does nto need to customize it.

The Jasjar file only contains the Ringtone Player plugin, the T-Mobile one contains the Ringtone Player plugin + the TMO Dialer skin

I now have an internally unbranded MDA PRO. The only thing is that I miss the IntelliDialer and can not access the smartdialing options. What is the trick here ...

[bonegasher]

yeehaa! that's exactly what i was looking for!
This thread made me donate ;) since i was looking for exactly this solution for so long!

I've already tried it and it works perfect.

now the only thing i still need is a today & dialer Theme (for the universal) that rocks (just like the halo theme - does anybody know where to get it?)

[joebongo]

How did you get the MDA pro English? I just called them and they can't even say exactly when it will be available to buy here.

Cheers,

Joe
