Customizations in the Original T-Mo US 1.08 ROM - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading

:idea: I want to see if we could pool together our knowledge on the T-Mo US customizations to document what they do, and whether they are relevant going from one release to the other.
I started with the 1.08 ROM and later upgraded to MrClean's 2.24a. What I want to do is bring the phone to as close to the original T-Mo US customization as possible; however I don't want to apply some 1.08 customizations that were there to take care of specific 1.08 issues (hotfixes, workarounds, etc.)
So to that extent, I am attaching below all the customizations from the T-MO US 1.08 ROM's Extended ROM section.
Let's get comments on what they do and whether they should or should not be applied on a 2.24a ROM due to changes to the OS. Please feel free to update the XLS file attached, and please remember to keep document tracking ON, so that we can see how the document is changing over time.

Re your question, "DiscoButton" is the GPRS Disconnect Button.
Andre

Andre,
Is that the one that appears in the connectional baloon after connecting to GPRS?
Would you happen to know what purpose the customization serves (enables/disables the button)?
thanks,

SX66 EXT ROM Standardization Project

Hi, I've opened this thread to correspond if a new development project that has started on WIKI. The concept behind this project is to support users of the SX66 (PH20B1) available in the US. There is a good community of folks using this model, and a users group seems to be forming. Giving that this community has varied levels of the technical skills, this idea came to me as a way of further increasing the growth of the BA adoption in the US, while reducing the need of me helping folks one at a time. But I must give credit where credit is due, the knowledge I bring to this project was all gained from the hard work and dedication of users here. Work that I would be lost without.
I have posted a Beta I trial for a 1.40.121 (cooked for the SX66 WWE Cingular) EXT ROM, and have invited select users to assist in the testing. This space will be used for feedback.
Update 5/12/05 - I've posted a Beta 2 release: Check out the Dev page at the link below for deatils:

Thank you for your effort, Chris. add me too.
Do you recommend upgrading to Windows Mobile 2005? I have downloaded the SW and wanna check first.
thx
where do you download this? or are you just sending it to people?
My friend, I will post the links to the forum now.

I am not responsible if you system has any problem because of this upgrade.
the bluetooth does not work on Beta2-S1.40.00-R1.12.00.E1.40.122
I can't pair my headset
KS, even after a soft reset? I've got 1.40.122 running without incident, but the BT files haven't changed, so it should not be an issue.. It is built on the 3900 stack included in the 1.40.00 system ROM, with only an add on to put the stereo headset in.
What headset are you using?
-Chris
Here is the link to the DEV page, which includes a link to the current kit:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_Wiki_Dev_Test5
Let me also point out, as I think it may be confused in some of the earlier posts. This is an EXT ROM for System ROM 1.40.00, which is Windows Mobile 2003 SE, not 2005.
-Chris
thanks Chris. this is nice, had been wanting to upgrade my sx66 but was just too lost to cook my own ...
the cabs included sounds good and i'm going to try it tonite!
feedback once its done. thanks once again.
AlmondKing,
Looking at your flag, and provider logo, I just wanted to point out that the files contain customizations for Cingular as they are required in the US. Hope that is not a problem.
Everyone,
Found my first bug. There is a problem in the version cab. I got creative, and tried the set the version to 1.40.122 (Cooked).... Well, the getdevicedata doesn't seem to like that. It doesn't seem to create a problem when flashing, but it records the EXT rom version as blank when reflashing. I've updated the version CAB, and will have it in beta 3.

Jerry, I believe the files you are trying to delete are the one that are part of the System ROM, and can't be deleted. This is why you are getting the in use error.

Extended_ROM vs Flash

Ok so im a little confused. And trust me its not that difficult to do. Ive read and reread the brilliant walkthrough provided by Faria and it just WOWs me. If i am understanding this correctly, I package the nk.nbf with the stuff that comes with the package that he included. Now that being said im already confused on how to explain what Im trying to do. What I want is a cingular basic phone installation with none of that customization that takes another 10 minutes after the flash or whatever it is. Now with the extended_rom, what gets changed? is it the whole phone or just something to add specific applications (cabs) to your current installation? I have tried all the versions I could find here and realized that these roms are just like a computer, the best one is the one you build yourself. Any help in pointing me in the right direction would be gratefully appreciated.
Sorry about sounding so newbish.
yoz..
They are basic developing skills. WinCE is not hard to figure out, anyone can make great apps with just Visual Studio. M$ hand feeds most of this stuff with a base rom, porting is intermediate work. I'd be impressed if they were developing an OS (no base provided) for computers.

Huh?
Ok lets try this again. Remember, im nottoosmart. I basically want to stop the customization from the packaged version of Cingular 8125 from HTC. I want a bland non marked version of Windows Mobile 5. How to i take all the extras out and when i do that to the extended_rom, is it going format the device and reinstall without the extras?
Ok, I think this is what you are trying to do. When you flash your device with the Cingular 2.25 Rom, which is their most current, or T-Mobile has 2.26. Let your device completley flash, once its complete, and you finish aligning your screen and what not, a message will display on your screen saying that your device will customize in 3 seconds - dont let it customize, do a soft reset before this happens. When it says that it's customizing, thats when it is installing your extended rom. Now remember, without that extended rom, you're going to be missing some carrier settings such as GPRS and MMS. Those are available here somewhere though, just search for 'em.

basicly its not that simple
Some do a custom extended rom, so after instal you get the page when your pda is customizing for you, your provider or for settings that someone did for you for that specific build of OS... but some change the files in the build of OS, they add stuff, replace version of apps, and that OSs are not clean, thats why you have all this builds and versions... Couse if they change the basic rom, there is no way to get clean build from that, couse after installing there is no need for customizing it from extended rom since all the files have already been changed in the rom...

The thread to address ALL TILT-specific questions

Update: I'm holding off on updating the Tilt wiki for a while, because these seem to be issues rather than things we can really sort and alphabetize at this current time (and I suck at coding/formatting, period). If someone would like to suggest a potential setup for the Tilt section in the Wiki, please let me know.
I limited this to address nothing but Tilt questions that seem to come up waaaay too often…

Assuming you stole/bought the Tilt on eBay: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=314547&highlight=sim+unlock (thanks tupisdin for doing this)
How do I get all the crap (bloatware) off my Tilt without flashing it?
Soft-reset (take the battery out) upon initial configuration (the part when is says “Windows will begin customization in x seconds”). If you’re past this point, do a hard reset (press both soft-keys at the same time and simultaneously insert your stylus into the bottom reset hole), and then do the soft reset thing upon configuration.
Where do I get the ATT/Cingular cabs for my Tilt so I can load tons of bloatware on my speedy HTC ROM?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=332438 (#34)
Why won’t TomTom Navigator 6 (that I got off of forums/internet) not work on my Tilt?
Because it was made for the Kaiser ROM as a “taster version”…If you want it, buy it…support good products.
Update: The mods ruling on this is that any other version than the TomTom "Taster" version that came with the HTC ROM is considered Warez, so please don't post. This also goes for where to obtain TomTom maps (without buying them), etc.
Do I need a tethering plan with AT&T to tether my Tilt with my laptop?

Update: How do I make my Tilt look like an iPhone?
Find the closest building that is three or more stories tall, get to the roof, and jump off.
-that would make sense if most new users in the forum actually read the wiki, which they usually dont...also, the Tilt is going to be the most popular variand of the tytn II for a while, thats just a fact of life because of the amazingly low price you can get it from with AT&T.
I think everyone's made there point, so whether there is a sticky or not, it doesn't make any differences, for all the forums that I been in, I have noticed that new members never follows the rules, they will just post everywhere, they cannot be bothered to search first.
the way I see it, just have a mod to delete all duplicate thread or members asking for the same thing, that has been posted before.
it's the only way to get rid of all the excess thread.
kms
Thread stuck.
There IS an over-abundance of stickied threads at the top of the Kaiser forum at the moment. However, because the Kaiser (and all variants) are so new, there will be MANY new users with many repeated questions. So a temporary solution is to sticky threads with the most important/commonly asked issues and questions.
In the near future, all this information should be migrated over to the WIKI with a single sticky directing everyone there.
So guys and gals, get those dictionaries and thesauruses out and make the WIKI nice. It should, after all, be a group resource and effort.
Redundant Questions
The reason you have so many redundant questions is that the Tilt was just released into the largest consumer population in America, Caaaleefornia as Schwartzenager says it. Unfortunately, all these Left Coasters that always have to have the latest & greatest gadgets don't know the difference between a MSM7200 & a BMW 750.
Having said that, now I need to ask a ??? I have tried everything but can dump the time & battery icon off the title bar without alignment problems. Anybody find a key yet? Are we stuck creating new icon templates in black to save us from the alignment issue? Or has someone found a key to compensate the alingment loss from removing both time & battery status icons?

haha true, i guess that is the paradox we are faced with...also I'd like to thank whoever the mod was that got rid of all the threadcrapping, it was definitely needed.
We've always accepted that we walk a fine line on the ROMs.
Technically when you purchase a WM5/6 device you have purchased that OS. We are able to Mod our desktop OS to extremities that PPC OS will probably never see. Cooked Roms are the answer. We do draw the line at ROMs that include WAREZ.
Now if you could come up with a way to have two OSes installed on your PPC at the sam time then this gray area would be decidedly more black.
BTW, you're welcome on the clean-up let's try to keep it looking good in here.

AT&T are the crappiest ROMs, and the people that seem to stay with them and have questions about them are almost always newbies that dont want to take the time to learn about flashing their phone (which is basically what the whole purpose of this forum is - improving your phone's current OS by flashing it with a newer, better one, which 99.9% of the time NEVER includes an AT&T ROM). Sorry to sound rude to those of you I've rubbed the wrong way but the majority of those people whom I have are AT&T users new to the forum who dont want to take the time to read.
For those who are in the 1% that dont flash because they are afraid of bricking and/or voiding their AT&T warranty, sirsycho has a whole thread devoted to getting it back to the AT&T ROM so you wont lose your warranty (it's stickied).

Is there a way to prevent the windows customization after flashing a ROM or hard resetting it?
All my old Windows Mobile devices had this feature to press some buttons while he says "Customization begins in 3 seconds".

no. sadly not. if you find some, please tell me!
thx.
I think you are mixing things up. The "customization" you see is provided by HTC and is not the same as the "User customization" provided with many roms.
The "user customization" can be aborted by pressing "Cancel", whereas the normal customization can't be cancelled.
You would have to re-cook the rom and delete the whole customization part.

?? well i've been talking about the customisations that come with the ROM you have flashed to your device (whichever that is). This includes adittional software or additional registry entries and such stuff. Both original and custom ROMs normally have such customisations (I've never seen a ROM without any of such customisations)

This is the "normal" customization johnpatcher is talking about, the one that starts right after setting date/time settings after hard-reset/first use of the device. For this device, i don't think you can skip that, other than re-cooking the ROM..
For others, such as TyTN2/Kaiser you would skip that by performing a soft-reset at that moment, as smb was suggesting above..
Just perform a soft reset while your Diamond asks you to enter the PIN code for the SIM card, before the 3 seconds warning appears.
It works perfectly for my Diamond (but solves only a half of the problems I expected the preventation of the HTC customization would solve).
After that I have the following memory values:
Storage
Total: 85.06
In Use: 14.19
Free: 70.88

Program
Total: 111.02
In Use: 55.35

when allowing customization to run...
As I could see immediately after performing the hard reset with no customization is the absence of Opera and Manila. But same giant menu letters are still in their place along with some 3rd party apps such as Adobe Reader, audio Booster, etc. Also I suppose that there is no MMS support as MMS is not supported by WM by default.
So it would be nice for me if someone would help me to chose what to install and what to skip when preparing my Diamond for the first use after HR. I can't accept some of the HTC's innovations as they look poor.
By the way, why 256mb=85.06mb and 192mb=111.02mb according to HTC?
well resetting before 3 sec popup OR after has no effect on automatic installing of manila files (tf3d)
if anybody had the trick to disable htc stuff from installing on my touch HD please contact me!
i am planning a clean wm6.1 with wisbar apps because it is more configurable and not so black . . . . .
thanks in advance from me!
It doesn't install Manila if the customization was stopped as Manila installing during the customization process. I'm talking about Touch Diamond, not Touch HD.

Hi people,
I'm here to say excuse me to all the people that has used my roms, that has supported me in different ways... I was absent here for a while, this was due to some reasons, I've had some problems in my life(nothing serius), anyway I had to sell my HD, so, the development of all my HD roms is ended
What to say, I want to thanks xda-developers becouse I met so many wonderful people here and I've learned many things too.
So, thank you people for this wonderful experience, I hope to give my contribution to this community again in the future

Hi all,
this is my 6.5_V-8.5, some changes from 6.5_V-8.
This rom is based on the new 1.56 rom, so you need 1.54 SPL or 1.56 HSPL to work with this rom.
I've used the last Manila from the official 1.40 Topaz rom and many other things from there.
This time I've deleted any flip app, only in this way the new htc album and other apps works very good. For the apps that you want to rotate simply press and hold the call answer button and it'll rotate the screen. Anyway for some apps the rotation is enabled by registry key, so if you want to stop to rotate some of them you have to edit these reg keys:
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\WhiteList]
"SMS"="_Dialog"
"Manila"="_Manila"
"Opera"="Opera_MainWndClass"
"Calculator"="CalculatorMain"
"TestHTCSensorDemoAP"="TESTHTCSENSORDEMOAP"
"Album"="HTCAlbumClass"
"Composer"="Ppc_WndCls_ComposerFrame"
"tmail"="Inbox.MainWnd"
"Active Sync"="ActiveSync"
"AudioBooster"="AudioBooster"
"Adobe Reader"="Adobe Reader"

"Teeter"="TEETER"
"Windows Live Messenger"="Messenger.Container.WndClass"

Fixed the backlight manula settings problem.
Updated Core and build to 21222.
Reverted to Opera build 15086(for some reasons).
Reverted to the standard Topbar icons.
Added Titanium Bliss skin, really beutyful.
You have two versions, ST, with the standard 6.5 features plus some stuff from Topaz, and the Manila
version with TF3D.
Many thanks to Da_g and the other people working on WM6.5!
Donations:
this rom is a free software for you all, anyway as I've said it's the result of hard work, so a small donation
will be appreciated. So if you want YOU CAN OFFER A BEER TO ME CLICKING HERE.

What's New in 6.5
Hi
here i am looking at 6.5. Maybe its me but other than a few tweaks to the Start menu and the close button options, i can't see anything different.
Are we sure this is 6.5? If it is, i am seriously upset that MS has not put any finger friendly enhancements in it

I've extracted the xip from the payload into Raphael Da_G kitchen, then I've used Ervius xipporterex r35. Then, try to download his kitchen(you will find it on Raphael rom section), and start from his xip.
