As a newbie, I shocked myself that the rom upgrade went so smoothly! Push email is working great with 4smartphone, and the 8125 flies!
I installed a few of the original .cabs (smartdial, mms, edge icon) but I cannot get mms to work.
I had no MMS account option until I installed the MMS cab, but since then the account is there and I receive MMS messages no problem...except for 1 thing:
When the messages arrive, they download what appears to be the attachment, but the icon shows as a vertical black box attached to the message, and I cannot open the picture at all. I can redownload no problem...but the picture won't appear.
Also..the phone keeps trying to redownload the picture every couple of minutes.
Any ideas? Is there another cab I need to install?
thanks.
I am 99% sure I have the settings correct, as they were taken from c
problem is you installed Cingular's cabs on a new rom. Which rom are you using anyway? can't post too much information, but as you have, you can always post too little.
I am using the newer Qtek rom on my 8125 and mms works great. it also worked great on the Imate 2.16.9.1 ROM. But I just installed the default titled roms from the Imate and allowed the customization to happen for the Qtek. Then manually configured MMS Server as the MMS account was there after running the new cabs.
I am using the new ROM but I do not use MMS, howver I will note that QTEK's EXT rom has MMS cabs, I would advise doing a hard reset and letting the QTEK EXT Rom run. I couldn't find ANYTHING in the EXT that would be unwanted (*except MMS for me since I dont use it, but I still let it install, meh.) I don't know if I can send MMS with my current plan, I have unlimited internet but no sms plan or mms plan as far as I know... can I send and receive MMS? If so I will test it for you.
Later; Lew
you would get charged for sending them, I think 15 or 25 cents per message... but no need... I am using the Qtek ROM 2.17.7.2 allowed it to run the customization (ie all EXTRom cabs installed) and after I setup the MMS server it worked fine. Send and Receive.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=244432#244432 -- instructions I created to setup GPRS/EDGE and MMS
Some people want to be notified that they are on EDGE and if you don't want to make a simple reg edit (change a 0 to a 1) then you can use the Cingular EXT Rom that sets the EDGE icon.
LOL, I thought the cab file had the ICON inside... care to share the registry value it changes? I liek making my own changes. =)
Thanx; Lew
Haaa.. Haa... nope... just this.

well...it seems I got it working.
I downloaded the newest imate released aku2 rom and reflashed the phone with it (after unlocking, etc.) As per everyones instructions, I hit the soft reset when it asked for the carrier so I didn't get any of the customization.
I then installed a few of the cingular cabs (mms, edge icon, smart dialer) and everything worked perfectly...except mms.
I found a thread at howard where someone had the same problem, and I found that I also needed to install 2 other cingular cabs. sms. and something with EON in it. After I did that, MMS worked perfectly.
so...as of now...the phone is flying (even with the few cingular cabs I installed.) no lockups, push email is working great.
keeping my fingers crossed. If I start having some problems, I will take your advice and hard reset. Until then...it is working very very well....mainly because of all the help and tips I got on this forum!

I agree, I'm glad this forum is here.
In fact, speaking of help and tips on this forum.....
dude!!!! I can't believe you didn't post some type of link to those files or atleast threads!!!!! To help others towards a solution!!!!
Somebody sent me a text message and I can't access the download....
Ah well, back to the search function.
I hate you!
Just kidding :twisted:

I'm interested in this too -- and would appreciate learning the pros/cons because I know that some people really don't like Oz. However I also have unlimited messaging, so SMS charges aren't an issue at all for me if the functionality is there.
Anyway - I just found the Oz cab here. Just takes a bit of looking. Go to the FTP site here and into the Wizard\Extended_Roms sub dir:
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Wizard/Extended_Roms
Download the "TMo-US-Ext Rom.zip". Inside you'll find all the CAB files, including what appears to be the Oz install.
I downloaded this, and have the files -- just want to verify that all we need to do is drop the Cab into the MDA (Wizard) and run it to install. Anyone else try this yet?
thanks alot, jon. i did do some ALOT of searching on my own but i didnt really know where to look. i appreciate the help.
i just installed oz and it works like a charm. so thanks alot. -tommy

tommy - great! I imagine that it doesn't use any "main storage" (working RAM) when it's not running, does it? As long as there's no downside in having it installed, other than using up space, I'm ready to try it. It would really be nice to have a full-fledged instant messaging client again on the phone. When Agile is ready, I'll probably go that way, but I'm not ready to deal with "alpha" level issues right now...
where can find the one with MSN?
Thanks
Well, this DOES use your SMS texts you know, not data. If you want one that uses data, goto palringo.com, its freeware, and supports AIM, YIM, MSN, ICQ, GT and many more.
Yes i know OZ uses SMS, I like it cuz I can still get my messages if i don't get reception.
I heard the new one has MSN but i can't find it.

how exactly do i install this? i downloaded it to my computer, i can hook my BB up to the computer via USB. it shows some folders. which do i drop the OZ messenger cab file into?
please help. ive been looking for this for months.
thanks
Here she is folks..... Keep in mind this is *BETA*.. there are still some things that i have to clean up... So go ahead and give it a whirl... This has only been tested on the 8125 G3 unlocked phones, i dont know if it will work on anything else outside of that!!!! So install at your own risk... Dr Puttingham seems to love it, and i think its pretty good. Dr Puttingham is also working on the stripped down version..
Major thanks goes to Molski for providing the core rom and his tweaks, and Dr Puttingham for his input and advice! And everyone else who made cabs for various things found on this board!
So install and give me your comments and suggestions.. and i will better prepare the final version :wink:
oh yeah, you need the link
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Wizard/Roms/Other_Unknown/Shogun_A_La_Carte_Cingular_WWE_2.exe
And for the N00bs.. d/l the exe, choose to unpack it to its own folder, then run ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID
**UPDATE**
Myself and faria have been working very hard on a future release.. it is currently in a private beta testing phase.. Anyone that is interesting in checking its current status feel free to check our blog
http://betarom.hypersites.com
Just so's everyone knows ... the install appears to "stall" or "hang" at 94, 98 and 100% so don't be alarmed! DO NOT DISCONNECT YOUR DEVICE NO MATTER HOW LONG IT TAKES! Sorry to shout but I'm expecting somebody to think that their computer's locked up and "brick" their phone! (And one really shouldn't be running any apps like Outlook or such while upgrading...)
Look around in the Programs group for folders called WIFI, Tools and 800Message.
Wow, that's great to get a new rom - Awesome! But sorry, not to sound ignorant... can you please explain what the G3 unlock is. I'm running a 64k SIM in my phone, not 3G.
Is the 8125 capable of running at 3G speeds, or are earlier models limited? Is this a hardware or software limitation... I would like to get my card swapped out with Cingular if possible. Thanks for your help.
--JAS
when i mention G3 and G4 its the difference in chips in the wizard, if you boot your phone and get .001 at the end of the ipl and spl numbers then you have a G4 and i dont recommend using my new rom, although i might be able to make an identical rom for the G4 (i just dont have a phone with G4 to test it) And the wizard does not do UMTS only Edge, so no its not capable of 3G speeds... wait till cingular offers the 8525 and you can get 3g
Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe he is talking about the 3rd Generation 8125 not the 3rd Generation wireless protocol.. Anyone try this ROM yet.. I'm still on Summiter's 2.17 and am not in a situation where I can experiment with my device no matter how much I want to..
Shogunmark, what advantages does this ROM offer up over my 2.17?

Thanks for mentioning the hang... i knew i forgot to mention something.. it was 2am when i finally posted it all
Few Suggestions and Comments
1. I was able to install this rom on a non G3 or G4 chipset and it works beutifully.
2. I would not include Pocket Controller since many people, including myself, don't have that software and thus its useless to me at least.
3. I don't know what program you installed to fully close applications but its a little annoying and puts a red dot in the X. I would recommend instead Smartsky.
4. Nice job including Omap and Omap plus. Very very nice.
5. Amazing job and keep up the good work.
Running it now. All I can say is IMPRESSIVE. This is the best custom rom for the 8125 yet. Thanks!

oh yeah, pocket controller will be left out of the final.. i forgot that it was in the beta.. i just got tired of having to re-install it when i was trying out different cabs and such..
i havent used wclose before, which is the program that fully closes the program.. it is kinda growing on me though
anyway, thanks for your input, i will keep a list of all suggestions for the final. The input is greatly appreciated!
How is this new ROM with dropping calls? I'm using summiter's most recent ROM. The reception is great, but I drop calls like Jenna Jamesson drops panties.

i havent fully tested that aspect.. I mean who makes calls with a phone anyway :shock: ... but this is built of the molski 2.26 rom with the good 2.25.11 radio which i ran prior to this and cant think of where i ever dropped a call with it
Cool. My dropped calls might be the fault of weather panel and flexmail2007. but i've gotten extremely irritated with my dropped calls. I'll give your ROM a shot once you release the final.
Oh and I second the "no need for the app closer software" movement as i'm a wisbar guy anyway.
cant wait for the final of this.... keep up the good work
A little of topic but anyone know when the 8525 will be available in the states.. Is there any link with info on this device.
On your pervious thread you mentioned that you would look into a stripped down version of this. I would like to try it but really dont want all the add ons. Are they removable via the remove programs thing in the settings? Also could you put together a complete list of all the features of this rom...or somewhere that list all the features?
Thanks for all the work!

im an Xbar kinda guy, not free, but used it alot when i use to run smartphones, its a cool little program. But i did like how appcloser will actually close the program from just clicking the x instead of just minimizing.. but at any rate, this rom is for everyone and will be built accordingly to whats popular by use, so if the general population dont want it then i will exclude, or maybe make a cab so it will be easy to install/uninstall.. who knows, just keep up the suggestions!

Dr. puttingham has decided to work on the stripped down version so i can focus on this one.. right now only some of the features are removable from remove programs.. in an effort limit the massive amount of cabs it took to install this i had combined some..
i will compile a full list later today, right now i gotta hit the shower and get to work..
here is the list of what i included:
zoA2DP.cab
ammar_Wireless_Today_Plugin.cab
PPCContactsMgr.cab
BT_COM_PORT (did not install)
TRE.arm.cab
total-comander.cab
WiFiFoFum2.cab
Omapclock_and_Omapclockplusv0.0.4.cab
Wireless.Scanner-Hitchhiker0.4b1.cab
SearchToday.ARM.cab
vxutil.cab
TodayAgenda_PPC.ARMV4.cab
Molski.Biz_Performance_Registry_Tweaks.cab
rar.ppc_arm.cab
Molski.Biz_Customizing_Tweaks.cab
VNC_pocket_viewer.cab (did not install)
Molski.Biz_Stevens_Customization.cab
SP_ARM_504P.cab ~ soti pocket controller
VoiceDial_Button_Customizer.cab
NETCFv2.wm.armv4i.cab
SPWM5CallRec.cab
PPC2003PMVault.cab
fp7_ppc_en (flash) (did not install)
there is a couple that either did not install or didnt install correctly.. will be a quick fix.. and there will be a MAJOR change coming to this...
Mark, what tools are you using to make your ROM's? I've been trying to use mamaich's (think I got the name right), and although I can extract everything fine, I can't seem to turn it back into the binary file..
Looking to see if you might have any ideas.. I've searched the forums more times than I can count..
Thanks!
Well... nothing personal but I'm staying on with shogunmark's Cingular experiment. Lot's to do here but it's geared more for me. (gee I wonder why!)
OK, let it all hang out!
wclose should be left out of startup (my add in, kinda like it - install by user
smartskey - fantastic - install by user
omap - again fantastic -install by user, perhaps with smartskey
CF2 in ROM - get to it Mark!
I'm with the leaner, meaner ROM myself. This one faster, even with omap left out. molski's tweaks and my additions I think help.
And I like the idea of a Cingular ROM as ... that's my ROM...
Lot's of hard work being done here... respect to all!
Cheers!
Hello,
I'm looking for a software to send free text messages over IP. Chat functionality would be nice but not a must.
I found EQO (www.eqo.com) and I wonder, if anybody has already some experience with it. Functionality, performance, etc.
Thanks a lot!
EQO has a Windows Mobile beta version out now. I've tried it and it worked quite well on my Palm Treo 750, fast and no connection problems on regular GPRS. It's the best free IM client I've found. I recommend trying it for yourself.
Cheers,
Chris
That really sounds like it's worth a try!
Thanks
Hey everyone, I have an ATT Tilt with windows 6.1. I have unlimited txt. I would like to use aim on my tilt,the only thing is that it dosent show all my buddys. Ive been googling for a program to install that still uses SMS and not data. So i came here to see if anyone knows one that is like the Oz one that comes preinstalled.
Thanks Steve
you can download the new aim mobile http://mobile.aol.com/aolproducts/aim-for-windows-mobile or get octrotalk (no visuals, use aim, yahoo, msn). you need a gmail account though to use octrotalk...you can even use gchat on it too. works well and doesnt use to much memory
does it use text messages or data?

Looking at the web site, it shows:
"*U.S. only. AOL Mobile services may require a wireless data plan and charges from your wireless carrier may apply. Not all AOL Mobile services are available on all wireless carriers or on all wireless devices. Check with your wireless carrier to confirm that product use is consistent with your carrier's Terms of Service."
why would you have a phone like this and NOT have data?
he could be like me and used to only have a razr but his lovely gf bought him a kaiser =]
as for the official aim program ,it uses data/wifi. i am also in search for an aim program that uses text instead of data ( data disocnnects too much where i work).
?? blackberry?
texters are for blackberrys! hehe i had a blackberry for 5 years! now i got the Tilt and never going back specialy with 6.1 a big improvment better than my last try for a windows mobile phone witch was a 8525 with 6.0 rom
data is 40 dollars. also the best messanger is www.beejive.com
its in alpha stage but, it works 100% and they wont bring it out of alpha stage. I dont not know why... cuz its a great program
