Extracting myfaves to put on my 8525

[hiimcliff]

i apologize if this is the wrong forum for this. has anyone had any success trying to extract the myfaves today plugin application from the wing/herald? i want to put it on my 8525. i dumped the .bin file from this thread and copied all the 'myfaves*' and 'my5*' files to the /windows directory and ran the myfaves .exe file and still no luck. there is even a myfaves service that i enabled and still no luck. i dont have much experience here. can someone lend a hand?

anybody??? .....

Sorry for bringing back an old thread but i am curious if this has been done yet?

[duprade]

I'm interested in this as well.

From what I read on another thread. It can't be done but also not necessary. You can have my Fave 5 without having a my fave 5 phone. You can Check or Change yoru 5 via logging into tmobile account and changing it online. Having the My fave 5 app on your phone is only convient to Change it from your phone. No Big deal seeing that you can only Change it once a Month Anyway :p

Download Opera 9 for PC and import favorites on desktop then sync with opera online, then load up Opera Mini 4 on WM5/6 and sync favorites.

You can also sync fav's w/activesync for iexplorer. Opera 8.65 for wm5/6 will import your iexplorer favorites also.

Good luck
Chris

do you have TMobile or AT&T

[duprade]

Apparently that cab that was made was missing some DLL files ... so I corrected that problem... here's the fixed cab...

do you have TMobile or AT&T

I have T-Mobile. the only reason my phone says AT&T is because I actually work for an AT&T authorized retailer, and I don't want customers seeing T-Mobile on my display. and thanks to the Personaliser cab I am able to do that.

I'll give it a try. The last thread posted before the CAB link led to a package that kept crashing on my 8525.

[biscuits1978]

Okay I installed the cab file on my 8525 and it works, but it crashes after a minute or so. It maintains fine on my Today screen, but when I'm trying to edit the profiles of my MyFaves contacts it reports that the application had an error and needed to close.

I managed to get everything updated quickly between crashes, but the application works though.

I'm still running the stock ROM that came with the phone when I got it a couple days ago:

ROM version: 3.57.502.1
Radio: 1.48.00.00
WM6 version: 5.2.1437 (build 17944.0.3.1)

Anyone know of a good, stable, and fast cooked ROM for the 8525 that they would recommend, could you send me a PM with a link? :o

[duprade]

which one did you install? The first version posted was missing DLL files ... which i added here http://rapidshare.com/files/94439605/MyFaves__dD_.cab.html

See if that works? I dont have myfaves on my plan, so I've never used it.

[biscuits1978]

I installed the link you just posted and its doing the same thing on my phone.

UPDATE 2/26/08:

I updated my phone with the latest AT&T 8525 standard release:

ROM version: 3.62.502.3
Radio version: 1.57.07.00
WM6 version: 5.2.1622 (Build 18128.0.4.4)

I reinstalled the MyFaves cab and it works beautifully! It appears my previous ROM image was pretty horrid - had issues with GPRS/EDGE and auto-switching to WiFi all the time. Now I don't have those issues, and it runs sooo much quicker.
