I recently discovered that there is now a file in the Uploads/Blueangel/ directory of the xda-developers FTP named BA_1.40_radio_1.20_untested_extrom.rar
The file (and the contents extracted) can now be found here:
ftp://xda:[email protected]_Updates/BA_1.40_radio_1.20_untested_extrom
(EDIT MDAIIIUser: Moved file and corrected link)
This is a Generic 1.40 Rom with cabs from 1.40.110 Extended Rom.
I would like to thank whoever put this file up.
Note that the extrom folder in the archive contains some cabs that would not be included in a standard extended rom (eg SPB GPRS Monitor, the Extended Rom unlocker, etc), as well as some updated HTC cabs, so it is a requirement to cook your Extended rom yourself.
The cabs not natively a part of the 1.40.110 Extended Rom are:
AudioPatch_Media.CAB
CprogHook.WM2003_2577.CAB
dsp_en.cab
GPRSMonitor_2.20_WWE_BA_20041011.sa.CAB
TotalCmd.arm.CAB
xda-developers_Unlocker.CAB
Examples of HTC Extended Rom Upgrades found in this archive:
Old Album: 2.51 Build 16894
New Album: 2.51 Build 18454
Old 1.20 Photo Contacts: 1.20 Build 17957
New Photo Contacts: 1.20 Build 19167
The new Album now opens Photo Contacts 1.20 with the assign to contact command, where it previously did not.
The radio rom included in the archive is 1.12, it seems to be MDAIIIUser's 1.12 Type I Radio Rom.
The 1.40 nk.nbf is seemingly Type I: it will work with the old xda3nbftool.
This rom has Windows Media Player 10, and it seems to be a bit better on the battery. Mamaich (in a post below) has already found some issues, however. (Typical)
UPDATE:
The MMS cab file (CAB-ArcsoftMMS-20022-Magician-Generic-ENU-08Mar05.cab) included in this update causes the hardware phone end button to lock up many people's blue angels during a call. It is highly recommended that you do not use this new cab, and install the older version instead, accessable here:
ftp://xda:[email protected] Media Messaging/MMS_2.0.0.16_BA_1123.CAB
Just flashed the NK.NBF (CE ROM) portion on my PDA2k.
Boots up fine as 1.40.00 WWE on diagnostics screen.
Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition, version 4.21.1088 (Build 15045.2.6.0).
Device Information page shows:
ROM version: 1.40.00 WWE
ROM date: 03/10/05
Windows Media Player 10.0 build 15045.
Camera applet integrated in ROM, version 2.21 (build 19307)
Broadcom Bluetooth 1.0.0 build 3900, same versions across all Bluetooth files.
Single "G" icon.
All seems well.
Now, I'm going to piece back the Extended ROM with my customizations and get it going.
This ROM has several minor problems. For example ringer.wma sounds ugly, backlight is maximal after you leave camera app, but it seems that this ROM drains battery a bit less then previous versions, even with 1.12 radio ROM.
To fix camera you can replace camera.exe with a version taken from old ROM, I use EXE from 1.31
And this ROM supports 2 different camera chips: ADCM2650 (old, my device has it) and OV7660. So maybe it is designed for new BAs with an improved camera. Though both chips are limited at 640x480.
Album_BlueAngelAKU26_Generic_WWE_RC20.CAB, Album application
AudioPatch_Media.CAB, changes audio priority to 80
BA_OEM_PA_Remove_WiFi_Logo.sa.CAB, remove extraneous Wi-Fi logo from top status bar
BA_Version_140.CAB, embeds version number for Device Information applet
Broadcom-Corporation-BT-PPC-AV-Upgrade.cab, apparently upgrades Bluetooth stack
Button9.CAB, programs extra button on slide-out keyboard
CAB-ArcsoftMMS-20022-Magician-Generic-ENU-08Mar05.cab, MMS add-on for Messaging applet
Caller_ID_BlueAngelAKU26_Generic_WWE_RC20.CAB, IA Caller ID
CprogHook.WM2003_2577.CAB, related to Phone applet (?)
CV2.41.386_wwe.CAB, ClearVue PowerPoint and PDF Viewer
Default_JMM101257_WWE_1004.CAB, Java Midlet Manager
dsp_en.cab, "Bass & Trable [sic]" (?) (likely customized)
GPRSMonitor_2.20_WWE_BA_20041011.sa.CAB, GPRS monitor
KSE_Fax_v2.09_BA_WWE_0720_unremovable.CAB, KSE Fax for CSD
MIDI561.sa.CAB, MIDI ringtone support
SetDefaultSMS.CAB, default to SMS in Inbox
TotalCmd.arm.CAB, Total Commander (likely customized)
VideoMMSB12_BA.sa.CAB, Video MMS applet
xda-developers_Unlocker.CAB, Extended ROM tools (likely customized)
So what improvements is this rom supposed to have?
(I've installed it now)
mamaich, how can you tell what camera chip a BA has?
Broadcom-Corporation-BT-PPC-AV-Upgrade.cab - adds HID and high quality audio BT profiles
CprogHook.WM2003_2577.CAB - my program, adds "contacts" button to dialer, it is not the latest build
dsp_en.cab - adds "bass&treble" customization, it works on BA and Magician devices
I don't know what are the improvements in this ROM, except that it should be more stable (because it has a newer kernel build with MS patches integrated), it has a built-in 3900 BT, so you don't need to install it and lose about 1Mb of storage space, has WMP10, and this ROM is produced by HTC (or MS) and not created from other ROMs parts like I did with 1.33.51 ROM.
I have not tested the sound quality over BT headset, maybe it is improved.

A quick Question, if I install the radio and rom, does it clear out extended rom as part of the upgrade, or do I have to do that manually first, so that it doesnt restore all my old 1.2 cabs
Click to expand...

It does not touch your extended rom. I would recommend cooking your rom first, then installing the upgrade.
Thanks, mamaich for your answers.
could someone be kind enough to advise
I have tried to read through pages and pages of threads to sort out my problem....
I have been helping pass on the knowledge I have learned from you guys to others when I see them ask... and understand how it must frustrate when people ask already answered questions..
BUT.. I cannot find the answers and I am sure the answer will help many people....
I have downloaded this ROM and would dearly like to use it. I have however a number of questions if I may..:
1) I like what I see in the extended rom on this download can I just use it.. if so how and can you see any problems?
2) I cannot seem to use the rom as it sais wrong country error. I have read may threads and have downloaded xda3nbftool as described by them but cant seem to understand how to fix the file for my country code.. I have the information and this is as follows.....
Model = Ph20B
Minor version =OB
Language code = WWE
Minor = R
Operator code = O2_001
Rom version =1.31.00
Minor = 00
Extended Rom version = 1.31.139 WWE
Radio version = 1.12.00
Please help guys I am sure there will be many people struggling as I am.
thanks in advance
Stay happy
Magpie2000k
magpie2000k, I do not recommend using the current extended rom. Some of the cabs are retail software, and unless you are willing to pay for them, you will be installing time-expiring trials. One of the included cabs is even corrupted. That doesn't even take into account that carrier customization is missing, among other things. I would recommend taking the time to understand how to cook your rom properly and then make your own rom using some of the cabs included so that it properly fits your needs.
As for installing the CE Rom upgrade, I can be of help to you for that. First, since you already have the 1.12 Rom installed, remove the radio_.nbf file that is included in the archive, so that it doesn't unnecessarily upgrade again.
OK, now extract the attached rar file and put them in the same folder as the upgrade, then run fix.bat. Then run BAUpgradeUT.exe and voila.
One again, however, I stress that you should cook your rom before doing this.
Thanks
You are a star.. I take it using the fix bat you created for me the change from my details.... very kind of you..
I have tried to cook the rom. have read and thought I understood all of what was on wiki I have read every page, but when I do what I think it sais it doesnt work.. for instance I want to put the Audio patch enclosed in the supplied extended rom and it doesnt happen when I try and change the config text file it wont save it.. I have unlocked extended rom etc etc etc..
I feel that when I eventualy learn I will write a very very simple version of how to do it and put it up as reference to all...
If you can help in any way on that I would greatly appreciate it..
To all that dont know THE LASTONE is a star
stay happy
Once again thanks

The ugly sound of ringer.wma is caused by the new album application. I tried installing another Album version (older) and the sound of ringer.wma is different! So, maybe they think that this sound as we hear it is more beautiful????
Funny that the Album messes with .wma files...strange, but funny.
But oh well, we all know how funny the BA can behave sometimes...
Jep, I really don't get it right, but it seems to do with any of the dll's installed. Something about that, but why??? Eat me.....
By the way, Happygoat and others. Today I talked to the dealer right here in the Netherlands and the told me they would send me the upgrade on CD to me tomorrow or monday. They confirmed that the version was
ROM1.40
Radio1.12
Ext ROM 1.40.110
Hope I will receive it soon!
That's good. I guess we can use it to ensure we have all the proper extended rom stuff.
Thanks, j_metselaars.
As allready mentioned, there are some minor probs with a few applications in this Extended_ROM.
The most annoying bug is the camera. When used, it sets to the highest brightness, and doesn't set back to your default brightness after use. I cooked the FixCamera_18157.sa into my Extended_ROM, it sets the camera-app back to the build 2.21B18157 from the 1.33.51-Mamaich-ROM, but it works allright.
Remember, when cooking, that the CprogHook.WM2003_2577.CAB (by Mamaich) and the AudioPatch_Media.CAB will need you to tap away the "This was build for a previous ...". Don't disable your touchscreen in the case you will be using one of these programs (= don't execute the "EXEC:\Extended_ROM\TPDisable.exe" in your 'Config.txt' hidden in your Extended_ROM).

HugoFranssen, funny you mention that. Not knowing what AudioPatch_Media.CAB was, I encountered that exact problem. Boy what a pain that was .
Thanks to everybody in this forum again.
Will install the upgrade soon may be after a week time.

Hi friends!
I think the topic pretty much says it all;
This is a native WM 6.5 Kovsky OEMXIPKernel/xip.bin/nk.exe - aware of the new Slot 60/Slot 61 Module virtual memory layout - what does this mean for you as a chef?
Now you don't have to recmod any modules in \SYS anymore, to port over WM 6.5! And you have 64mb free to convert more files to modules!
But you will need to use a relocation tool that is aware of the new memory layout;
Ervius Visual Kitchen + Bepe's New Kitchen do this with the "Real WM 6.5 AKU" checkbox
There's also a build of "WMReloc" 2.0 floating around that may support this, that would be compatible with the "old style" kitchen (buildos + g'reloc, it would replace g'reloc)

integrate to visual kitchen for kovsky
now have "real" wm6.5 on my device.
Big thanks Br.
Don't seem to be able to change the date with xipporterex in visualkitchen, when I press "Find Date/Version on \ROM\Xip\" is gives the following (see attached image).
So I'm not able to change the year since it is not loaded from ROM.
Anyone knows how to fix?
Very interested this. But not really sure if I understand what it is. Can someone correct me if I'm wrong. This is an ROM folder for the xperia? Not an Ported one but a real one right?
@Lokatho:
This is a common problem with XIPPorterEx and newer nk.exe - the method it uses to figure out which string is the version string does not work properly - if you change those incorrect values it's likely something will break.
Instead - use a hex editor, search for your version string - find it, and change it in the hex editor
This will work fine
The issue is with XIPPorterEx's algortihm - maybe you can report it to ervius, and he'll fix it up
very nice
thank you very much
not really sure what this is. but will it somehow bridge the big performance issue with x1 and the HD or TD2 (almost same specs but noticeably faster perormance)?
Does anyone still have this file? The link no longer works. Thanks.

Use my mirror it's working fine
Since that question (see below) I have done some research on multiple custom ROMs and this is the result:
ROMs without Letter/Block Recogniser:
Dutty's Holy Grail 7.2 (english)
Energy.TOPAZ.23529.Leo_MaxManila_07.Feb.2010
ROMs that have the Letter/Block Recogniser enabled:
Tess Leo IV
Fix for Dutty and Energy (and possibly others):
The only working fix I have found to get the handwriting enabled in these ROMs is as follows:
1. Download the official HTC Handwriting Update (it doesnt matter from which site, they are all the same file) and transfer to your device.
2. Change the registry key HKLM/Software/OEM/MASD/IME-EZInput_Western from "2_1_19222911_00" (may possibly be different value depending on ROM) to "2_1_00000000_00"
(Credit goes to hotfootpowder)
Important: There are a number of registry tweaks and files floating around to "fix" the handwriting. Most of these tweaks will interfere with the Update. If you have changed registry keys to make the transcriber work you should try to reverse these.
3. Run the HTC handwriting update.
For me this worked flawlessly in these 2 ROMs
Hope this helps somebody
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi there,
one question: Is there any decent cooked ROM that either supports the official HTC handwriting update for the Topaz or even has it already integrated?
Thank you very much
t.
Many stylus-based devices include Transcriber or Letter (Block) Recognizer. AFAIK, most chefs include them in their custom ROM's ... not sure about custom ROM's for this device.
HTH,
Unfortunately HTC decided to disabled the transcriber in in the TD2 in the original Stock ROMs (disabled to the point where it's just not there, not only turned off). It seems that a large number of user requested the feature to be brought back though, so HTC provided a update .exe on their website. This official handwriting update in turn is sadly uninstallable on SEA and custom ROMS. There are a number of tweaks out there to actually get it to run but so far I have not found one that actually works.
updated original post with solution for 3 custom ROMs
Hi there,
Works fine for me too, with the latest official Dutch ROM update from HTC. Manilla version: 2.5.20113030.0
Thanks a lot,

Anyone knows how to change "regulatory domain" on 2.0 rom ?
Need to change channels to see my offices rooter.
I checked now 1.9 and it can see this rooter.
Installed also cyanogenmod and changed under "regulatory domain" to 14 channels and can see my rooter.
Anyone knows how to change this manualy on 2.0 rom ?
Or which file is it, so I can maybe copy from 1.9 rom?

Hi Demar, I'm currently on GR4, but it should be the same on TP2.
I just tested with my own setup, I set the wi-fi channel on the router to channel 13, and the phone was unable to connect.
Then I changed the property "ro.wifi.channels" in build.prop to 13. After a reboot it connected fine.
So it seems that's all you need to do, either edit or add the line
"ro.wifi.channels=14"
to your build.prop.
Yeah. I know this. I tried, but without results..

Which kernel are you using? I'm on HP-RC4.
Problem solved.
I'm not sure with what ?
I changed following:
ro.product.locale.region=EU
ro.wifi.channels=14
And installed some script that I found on forum
No I can choose regulatory domain
Wifi channels enable for both 11g/11n networks

Hmm... What script do you mean?
Anyway, to enable last (14) channel for .11g, without the script,
you need to set "wifi_country_code=JP" in the "secure" table in the following database:
"/data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db".
(It may be easily done with RootExplorer and SQLite editor installed).
Also, it may help for 5GHz .11n too, by default (for USA) very few channels are available,
Most channels in .11n become active with EU code in the field above.
And, there is no need to reboot the phone after change - just switch WiFi off/on!

I attach the build prop from mi 5(Gemini). Which is rooted via magisk 16 and I extracted the build prop file. As I'm not a developer, but very active user. So I let you guys see the new MIUI 10 build.prop if you can do something with this. Thanks in advance.
The build.prop is just a set of values, I don't think you can "extract features" since if they are present, those are built into that specific rom, even if you put that "new" values on another rom, you won't add any extra functionality (Example is Camera 2 API, you can enable it into the MIUI but it is just disabled by default, you're not "adding a feature", just enabling it)
