Orange HomeScreen

---

Ok well no one seems to be replying to my question about dumping my orange rom so lets try this instead.

How would i go about saving my orange homescreen so i can put it back once i have upgraded my m700 to the dopod rom.

Or, am i being stupid coz im sort of thinking that maybe the orange customization that runs on first setup is in the ext rom which will stay behind on the upgrade and i will therefore get all my orange stuff still

????? dont really know


Please help i really wanna upgrade my rom but i keep backing out until i can get these things sorted.

thanks all.

In the extROM of GPS enabled ROM, I can see this file : PT_WA_Abaxia.CAB which is related to this Orange customization. But I think that some parts of this Today plug'in are embedded with the OS itself.

On my Dopod rom I'm using the orange customisation from the Hermes ,the cab is HERMES_RO_BUILD_93_CLOCK.CAB,and it's working quite well except for the speed dial.
I think that the abaxia cab our friend mentions in the previous post should do the job.

How big is this file ?
mine is around 100KB I think (I'm at work now, can't check how big it is exactly)

Hi everyone.

in my ext rom on my trinity i have the file PT_WA_Abaxia. I order to test whether my ext rom had the correct stuff i hard reset my hermes and installed my trininty ext rom but this didnt seem to install the homescreen. Saying that though it wouldnt let me run the autorun so i had to install the cabs individually.

The hermes homescreen is older than the trinity one. I have never been a big fan of the orange homescreen but the trinity one is quite nice. You can add vip contacts which show up straight in the homescreen rather than having to use the speeddial thing, the background pic changes depending on whether the phone is on silent, vidrate or ring. All in all a but nicer than the hermes one.

more testing

right on my hermes which was factory settings including all orange customization i tried installing the cab PT_WA_Abaxia. didnt seem to do a huge amount.

I then renamed the old DIL_APP folder and copied this folder from my trinity.

I also copied the DIL_PLUGIN.dll from the windows folder on my trinity onto my hermes. Then i soft reset and my trinity homescreen is now on my hermes and all works fine.

So now i need to know how to get my trinity homescreen onto my trinity without the original orange customization.

When i was playing with my hermes last night i tried not installing the orange customization as this then seemed to allow phonepad to work. I then tried the same steps as i did above and i could get the homescreen to show up in the list. Therefore i can only assume that i would need to run the hermes cab to install the original orange screen and then rename it and stuff like i did above.


So in summary, i would need to save the hermes homescreen cab, and the dil folder and the dll file of my trinity. Flash my trinity with the dopod rom. Install the hermes homescreen using the cab. Rename the folder and copy the trinity one across and copy the dll file into the windows folder and all should be done.

Anyone got a better way, while i go off and test my theory.

heck how big it is exactly)[/
You can find the cab (304kb) in the Hermes FTP extended rom section and in the Orange_M31_00_14.123.1.614_extrom

thanks for that, i saved it off the hermes. getting good at this unhiding my ext rom malarky.

anyway. i tested my plan and it worked on my hermes.

I hard reset
didnt do orange ext
installed the cab file HERMES_UK_BUILD_93_CLOCK
renamed the dil folder and copied the trinity one in
copied the dll into the windows folder
and hey presto

porbably a bit of a long winded way but it worked.

Hi,

How are you sure Orange wont know yourve flashed the rom?

Also how do you prevent the orange customization after hard reset on the trinity?

Thanks

well this is the problem. If orange check then they will know we have flashed the rom. That is why i want to be able to re flash back to the orange rom if i need to.

Easiest way to stop the customization on any device is to soft reset just before it starts, when windows loads up the first time on it you will see a little window saying customization will start in 3 sec or something. Just soft reset then and the customization will not run.

So far though i havent found any real reason not to run it on the trinity though. If i dont run it on my hermes at least i can get phonepad to work but no such luck on the trinity.
