TyTN - playing with Extended Rom

[rakh1]

Hi all,

Have been mucking about with my Vodafone v1605 and the new HTC ROM. Had a play with the 'green' theme and decided to try and go back to Vodafon colours etc (basically the Vodafone extended ROM).

So, unlocked the Extended ROM, deleted the HTC stuff and replaced with Voda's. No problem.

When I hard reset the device it appeared to be loading HTC's stuff again???? I hard reset again and this time soft reset before the extended ROM could load. I now had a very vanilla WM5 setup :)

I now unlocked the ext rom again and went to re-import the Vodafone stuff...but it was allready there.

So - I ran the autoupdate and it stared to run. However, after a few secs it complained it could not find \Windows\vodafone.bmp. I ok'd and it carried on.

After all this I have a semi-vodafoned TyTN.

Anyone know what I need to do?? Does anyone have the vodafone.bmp so I may try again??? Is there an easier way to do this that I am missing???

Thanks - Rich

Some more digging found the following:

By simply taking any of the PNG splashscreens available on this site and calling it vodafone.bmp and placing it in the WINDOWS directory I can get the Vodafone extended ROM to run.

However, with teh ROM run I do not get the Vodafone theme or the phone skin or today plugins (guess they belong to the actual ROM not the extended). I do however get a 3 symbol....

In the end I gave up playnig and went back to the HTC extended ROM. Sure, green might not be 100% me but it's a nice change :)

Which ROm are you using instead the Vodafone one ?? Did you had screen calibration problems with the old ROM ? Changing the old ROM for the new one fixed this stuff ??

Ok this problem is related to the pre autorun issue that is availavail in the hermas verient....that means not only that the file willbe installed from the extrom bit also a part of extrom is kept in mail ce rom which will install before the installaton of ext rom...you can see it easily as the wait for 3 sec message after a hard reset will came twice the first time for pre autorum and second one from autorun...

now as u using the tytn rom s the pre auorun cnfig is still there which will install the green htc theme and default ie homepage and some other things like hsdpa anaval and some customised operator setting....so it doesnt matter what ext rom you use if u use the tytn main ce rom then u cant ignore them if not u reset just before first 3 sec wait massage and as a result u will not get the complete vodaphone ext rom addons as for vodaphone cd imate too there has some setting which relies on main image not on ext rom...

i think this explainaiton should clear it a bit..

thanks
