one question I have right now the shipped rom of tmobile MDA and its already sim unlocked (i can use other providers service) I'm from the phillipines question is this if I flash this rom on my wizard will my wizard be sim locked? can I flash this rom?
I am just worried that I will brick my device and its a long way back for a warranty if ever I still have one.
thanks. is this official rom fast and stable?

I'm seriously hoping he does! I upgraded to this ROM last night and it seems okay, but just not quite the same without summiter's touch.
The easy way to upgrade
I was using xelencin's 2.24 version. I backed up with SPB backup, used the installer above, and installed 2.26. Then, when the installation was complete, I prevented the customization (after the screen align, etc., when the 'customization will begin in 3 seconds' popup appears, perform a soft reset with the stylus), and restored the backup.
This seems to work fine.
I then used total commander to copy the /extended_rom/ T-Mobile customizations to the miniSD and installed a few of them -- smart dialing, phone_light, PP_Extversion (not sure what that does), and the updated Hotspot login.
Of course, I didn't get the advantage of cleaning up the system, but since I did a start-from-scratch build a month ago, that wasn't necessary.

This seems like a good idea. I might try to something like this myself. I ended up uninstalling the Hotspot since we don't have T-Mobile where I am and I figured it had to do with their network.
A question... how do you disable the "message sent" notification for SMS messages? I've searched the forum but I can't find it anywhere.
UPDATE: Nevermind about diabling "message sent". I found a the hack for it.
TIA!
gonna try it now thatn for the information. i never let the customizations load after the phone rom is completed seems the phone works better without i just add the needed cabs.

Is there a depository somewhere with all the extended ROM cabs separated (and documented, what's what, what does what, etc) so you can just pick and choose what you want to install?
i just base my cabs off the files that xenelicin uses on his custom roms. when i first got the phone i donwloaded alot of cabs and yes there is a topic on this board somewhere with all the cabs and what they do. i still got a bunch i dont know exactly what they do so i never use em.

I'm also using xelencin's 2.24 version, I been happy with it, "Upgrade or NOT to Upgrade - That is the question". How's the radio working?
Radio is fine
The radio is fine.
I tried running some of the t-mobile customizations from 2.26 and that caused things to slow down. Understand that I am doing these over xelencin's customizations, so there may have been conflicts. Here is what I installed (these are abbreviations):
enable ntiz
smartdial enable
edge icon
generic conn settings
generic ui
other conn settings
security policy
phonelight
pp extversion
gprsandedgeDTMF
ringtone
WISPA - (this is HOTSPOT)
camera
This turned out to be a bad idea and I rolled back to the customizations I was running in 2.24.
I'm going to wait for someone to sort out what the entire list of customizations is. Xelencin renamed the customizations (in a way to make them understandable) but that makes it harder for me to match them up.

I know there's a list of Cingular extended ROM cabs but does anyone know what each one does? I just pulled the T-Mobile extended ROM cabs too and I'm wondering what those do so I can pick and choose what I want to install.
Also, is there a way to create a cab with all the regedits so you can just execute that one cab?
TIA!
Seems to still be AKU 2.3 but newer everything else.

Missing the Milet Manager in new 2.26 ROM
What does T-Mobile USA have against the Midlet Manager? Why is it that they never include it? T-Mobile UK has it, and others as well.
Has anyone pulled just the Midlet Manager out of the UK 2.21 version?

The ipl, spl, radio and os all come from the qtek 2.17 rom. The htc logo and splash come from the t-mobile usa rom. The extended rom is my own creation. There is no offical 2.17 rom for t-mobile, they are rather slow at these things.
For what it's worth, I was just trying to download these files, and when the download completed, I ran it and got a corrupted file error. I look at the FTP server again, and the file have disappeared! Someone is deleting the files, it appears.
I've hosted the files here:
http://www.joystig.com/wizard.htm
Does this have the new Comm Manager that came with TMO?
Sounds great... What is NOT in this that was in the stock ROM load? How far off will it be from the T-Mobile version that shipped with the MDA?
Also - any comparisons in terms of:
- amount of storage the two versions take?
- program memory/storage? (never enough!)
- speed / performance
TIA...
ahhh, I flashed one of my two devices (my wife's) Qtek 9100 and now it just boots and reboots over and over. Ok, without being able to establish an activesync connection, how do I flash it back? My phone is running the Qtek 9100 AKU2 release just fine. I should have just done the same to hers.

Not sure where to find it...but I've read a few posts that, as I recall, tell you how to get into the boot loader of the MDA, and proceed to reload the firmware from there. I'd do some searching around here - I suspect you'll find somebody (or an older post) that can help you get the toasted MDA back up to snuff...
The Newer ROM is up and working great so far...
The Original T-Mobile ROM seems to be corrupted and not available on the different links provided.
bootloader: hold the camera or recorder button in while resetting... then run an RUU. I had to run through many old incarnations and slowly update the device. I won't be trying a custom rom again.

You got it working though?
I understand the feeling... much as I'd like to try a newer ROM, I'm thinking that I'll probably wait a bit to see if T-Mobile comes out with an official release soon. Maybe it's silly of me...but I'd rather be in a position where they'll still fix or replace the phone if their own firmware load messes up my MDA. I've done a bunch of firmware updates to various devices over the years, and still find that I hold my breath while doing it. Don't need any extra problems just now, and my MDA is working really nicely for the moment, even loaded up with Wisbar Advance, PocketBreeze, ContactBreeze, iLauncher and some nice skins. I'd like some more memory, but the whole thing seems stable throughout the day, and responsive...so I think I'll leave well enough along for now!

Yes, thank goodness... but the phone is without some important things. Of course, like me, her phone was/is using push email, so she gets the most critical stuff back immediately, but custom app settings, etc are gone. I did have a recent SPB Backup... and all restores ok except for System Data. When restoring that part, the system will freeze and restart and then I have to hard reset. I wish I could do a more finely tuned custom restore and narrow down the troublesome part of the restore. Oh well, now to reinstall all of the apps that were on here.
I just flash this rom and everything seems fine but when I try to connect to the edge network, it won't connect. I have the 29.99 plan. How do I fix this problem?

Stupid question, but is that 2.25 radio ROM on the /Uploads/Wizard directory on the FTP from the Cingular ROM, or is it the T-Mo ROM? I'm curious because there are numerous reports that the Cingluar radio ROM is "better" than the T-Mo one.
Thanks!
This is definately the Cingular version (I know because I made and used it).
Replaced the link with one that Mr Paditiot (first name Stu) can't delete!!!!
does that mean I can use this for tmo as well?

Using that Rom Update will only flash the GSM (Radio Rom) to the latest Cingular issued version 2.25.11.
It should work with any carrier.
oh nice
So I can basically install any rom I wanted and then load this radio rom afterwards to get the excellent reception I was getting with 2.25?
If so I could go back to 2.3

Thanks a lot! I was looking forward to it. I flashed my phone already, but I have yet to see any positive/negative effects. Of course, just sitting down at my desk, I don't think I will see any difference
This thing is beautiful...
I left my phone connected via USB on my desk for about 5 minutes to check signal strength before and after this update. Before, I had 2 bars. I ran the update, didn't touch the phone, let it reboot, and now I'm at full bars. Outstanding.
I get reception with this radio rom update that I can't get with any other rom I've run (except 2.25 of course). 2.25 was too buggy for me too keep on my phone so I was sad when I had go back to 2.17. Then 2.3 came and I was excited b/c I thought the bugs would be gone...and they were, but so was my reception. Now I get the best of both worlds.
Updated your 8125 to this seems like a no brainer to me regardless of what rom you're running.
THANKS!!
Losing stuff?
Sorry for this if this is a dumb question.
If I run the update utility, will I loose any stuff on the phone?
Or will this only overwrite the radio rom and keep the rest of my phone intact....
I don't want to install all my apllications like it's a hard reset....
Can someone please give me the "go" to install this to my qtek 9100 rom?

Likewise, can someone please confirm this will only update the Radio ROM? The warning message for the ROM installer says that all setting will be wiped!
BTW, I found the file in the Upload folder - /upload/wizard/ROMS/Cingular_2.25.11_Radinly.zip
it wont wipe your settings, i just flashed mine last night.
Sweet! Just ran the update on mine and can confirm all settings, data apps etc remained untouched! My Radio version has now increased to 02.25.11 and Protocol increased to 4.1.13.12. All other version numbers (ROM etc) remain as they were before.

Maybe I can get a response here... I'm on GSM 2.25.11, but I'm having an issue with dropped calls left and right whereas I had no issue on the original ROM that came with the phone. After a couple of minutes, especially when people call me the connection just drops.
I've never believed Cingular has the fewest dropped calls as they're currently advertising, but i dont believe this is their problem either.
Any ideas?

Spoonter is right, I think kyphur is posting a bad link. Try:
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Wizard/ROMS/Cingular_2.25.11_Radio_Only.zip
Kyphur, can you confirm this is your file (2.16 Mb)?
[Edit] to fix the link I mistyped...
since i stopped using weather panel, i haven't had a single dropped call in about 3 months now. and i'm using cingular.
We've been getting some great ROMs designed for US carriers, but our UK T-Mobile friends seem to have gotten left in the cold. Sure a new ROM is available, but it's only being sold on new devices at this point. So I decided to build off the base Mr. Clean ROM and create a custom version for T-Mobile UK.
This is a AKU 2.3 ROM, using the latest OS core, the 2.24 bootloader, the 2.25 Cingular Radio ROM and a customized version of the T-Mobile UK Ext ROM. I've gone through the Ext ROM and dumped anything that seemed unnecessary, keeping just the vital bits. Repacked a few things, and included some vital accessories (Total Commander, Registry Wizard 1.0T, and the MIDlet Java Session fix) to finish things off.
.NET Compact Framework v2 is packed in as well, but it doesn't install by default. You can install it manually if you so choose by going to the NETCFv2 folder in the Ext ROM and running the CAB.
--------------------------
Exact version numbers are as follows:
IPL: 2.24
SPL: 2.24
GSM: 02.25.11
OS: 2.24.10.1
Within the OS, Device Information reports:
ROM version: 2.24.10.1 WWE
ROM date: 4/17/06
Radio version: 02.25.11
Protocol version: 4.1.13.12
ExtROM version: 2.24 Mr. Clean TMoUK
And the OS build is reported as:
OS 5.1.195 (Build 14955.2.3.0)
--------------------------
This version of the ROM supports A2DP natively.
Push Mail is of course supported.
I've tested the ROM with US based GPRS settings, but bundled the final version with UK based GPRS and MMS settings. Unfortunately since I don't have an active T-Mobile UK SIM card I wasn't able to test those. Hopefully someone can give it a go and let the forum know ASAP if there is an issue. This is one aspect where I was flying blind.
I'd also love it if a Blackberry user could install the BBConnect client and let us know if it works with this ROM or not. According to T-Mobile it shouldn't, but we all know that's been proven wrong in the past. Ideally I'd love to have someone who's got it working now upgrade and try it. This way we're testing from a known good situation.
One final thing, I had to repack the Soft Key application. If everyone can pound on that and make sure it works, that would be awesome.
And with that...
Enjoy the ROM (and don't forget to CID unlock before upgrading!)

Hi,
you did a superb work but, IMO, you chose a wrong name: Mr Clean ROM, in fact, is a ROM without ANY mobile operator's stuff while your ROM contains T-Mobile UK customizations. So, from my point of view, it's no more a Clean ROM!!!
sounds fantastic. Those on T-Mobile have been waiting for ages for a ROM update, so your work will be valued by many.
Just a couple of questions before I jump on the boat:
Has it got the T-Mobile UK today screen customisation? I am on the 1.06 T-Mobile UK ROM and the first part of the today screen has shortcuts for the T-Mobile favourites (IE) application, contacts, calendar and notes. I quite like it and I don't want to lose it. If you got rid off it in the new ROM, would it be possible to install CAB files from my current extended ROM once the device has been upgraded with your ROM? I've got a copy of my existing Exetended ROM, so maybe I could select and install these CAB files later? or are there any incompatibility issues between the 2 ROMs, i.e. cab files that only install on signed T-Mobile ROMs??
Browsing the wiki http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=T-Mobile 1.6.2.105 UK, I guess these are the bits I am talking about here:
CAB: \Extended_ROM\TMO_UK_Browser_Signed.cab
[from the wiki:Creates unnecessary Internet Explorer Shortcuts.]
and/or it could be this:
CAB: \Extended_ROM\TMO_UK_UXC_Signed.cab
Shortcuts, registry entries for today plugins, softkeys, T-Mobile sound. Not needed.
and/or it could be this:
CAB: \Extended_ROM\TMO_UK_Browser_Signed.cab
[from the wiki:Creates unnecessary Internet Explorer Shortcuts]
Could you include these files in the Ext ROM, or could they be installed afterwards?
I suppose it means I don't want my ROM to be fully clean, but to include the good bits that are part of the current T-Mobile UK ROM! The best of both worlds :!:
Also, will it be possible to upgrade/downgrade to the soon-to-be-released official T-Mobile UK ROM, or to the current T-Mobile ROM in case anything goes wrong?
I can't wait - my Wizard will be very happy
Thanks for your help.
Top stuff.
Just a quick point.. Im using a T-Mobile UK upgraded to a 2.17 Qtek ROM. I had CID & SIM unlocked it using Lokiwiz 0.2b prior to upgrading. Would I need to run the newer Lokiwiz 0.3 before upgrading to this ROM? And how do I access the Net 2.0 install CAB in the Ext Rom?
Cheers.
I've just upgraded. Will let you know how it goes. First impressions: the device is much more responsive than before.
No particular issues as yet.
thanks a lot - feels great.
It works extremely great. The GPRS works great as well.
overall far more responsive device and not a single issue with the new rom as yet.
Great job! Thanks a lot
Excellent news!!! thank you so much..... however, i think someone may have deleted it off the FTP
i dont see it there now

Don't worry, I'll still keep maintaining the original Mr. Clean ROM. That said, I still think the name applies. While this particular ROM may be customized for T-Mobile UK, it has been stripped of any "extra" bits and just keeps what is needed. As a result, it should stike a balance between a base Mr. Clean install and a fully loaded carrier build. I tried to build it with just the essentials...more or less what you'd end up with if you took the original Mr. Clean and individually added on the T-Mobile bits.

No, the Today Screen UI bits have been yanked. They took up a WHOLE lot of real estate and weren't particularly functional as far as I could tell. Really felt as if it was designed for a smartphone rather than a PDA. Also didn't want to take the performance hit. As it is, Calendar, Contacts and IE are in the Start Menu by default (T-Mobile UK typically moves them) and you can add the Notes link to the Start Menu in the settings. This still gives you access to your apps with a single click, but doesn't require the T-Mobile UK UI customizations. For what it's worth, T-Mobile US didn't bother with the custom today UI over here.
If you're looking for a suggestion for Today screen plug-ins, I'm personally a fan of the O2 XDA bits. Someone had posted a link to it here on the forum awhile back. I keep that running on my personal Wizard.

You can always install any CAB files that you've got. The T-Mobile UK UI CABs all start with UXC, I believe. They should install on most any ROM. I don't believe that T-Mobile "locks" any of its customization CABs.

Also, will it be possible to upgrade/downgrade to the soon-to-be-released official T-Mobile UK ROM, or to the current T-Mobile ROM in case anything goes wrong?

Make SURE that you CID unlock before upgrading and you'll be fine. Most everyone SIM unlocks, but not everyone realizes that the CID unlock option in Lokiwiz02b has to be run separately. Do the CID unlock (if you haven't yet done it) first and you should be able to load any ROM you choose.

Top stuff.
Just a quick point.. Im using a T-Mobile UK upgraded to a 2.17 Qtek ROM. I had CID & SIM unlocked it using Lokiwiz 0.2b prior to upgrading. Would I need to run the newer Lokiwiz 0.3 before upgrading to this ROM? And how do I access the Net 2.0 install CAB in the Ext Rom?
Cheers.

You only need to CID and SIM unlock once. CID unlocking is what's important. If you only did a SIM unlock you'll run into trouble. Both the CID unlock and SIM unlock should be permanent so once you've performed both unlocks you're good to go. Won't need to do it again.
To accesses the Ext ROM start up Total Commander and manually enter \extended_rom into the directory field. From there, just go into the NETCFv2 folder and open the CAB file. It will install directly from there, and as it is set to read-only, it won't corrupt the Ext ROM.

Don't know who deleted it, but I've copied it back up. Download away!
gamescan, you did a fantastic job - works fine.
thanks a lot for your work and for answering my earlier queries.
Has rom been deleted again, tried to download this morning but link not working. Could it be uploaded again please!
Can anyone supply me with a copy of this rom as I would really like to try it.
TIA
Sounds good, I think I'll try upgrading mine tonight
Hope it gets upped on the server again.
could anyone using this rom tell me if they have problems with calls dropping after 5 minutes or so.

I got this last night so I'm uploading it now. It should be there in about 35 mins
Edit : as of 11:35 the file has completed uploading.
Some damn fool keeps deleting the uploads section again. Someone give me his IP address and I'll arrange a DDOS :twisted:
Thanks to thephm, downloaded and I am installing rom at present.
A quick question: after upgrading to Mr Clean's ROM I noticed my Wizard displays time with the US format, despite selecting English/UK in the regional format.
How can I get it display using the 24 hour format?
This seems to be a minor issue, but it bothers me when using Pocket Informant.
Thanks for any advice you may have

Does this imply that you are having this problem ??
There is a thread talking about this ... looks like it could be linked to GPRS

This is a setting that's built into WM5, though due to the way the drop down menu displays it can be easy to miss.
Start -> Settings -> System -> Regional Settings -> Time -> Time style
Choose one of the four options:
h:mm:ss tt -- 12 hr clock
hh:mm:ss tt -- 12 hr clock with leading zeros on the single digit hours
H:mm:ss -- 24 hr clock
HH:mm:ss -- 24 hr clock with leading zeros on the single digit hours
Enjoy.

Yep I had this problem the original Mr clean rom and also most of summiter's custom roms TBH I have'nt tried this version of the Mr clean and there for I like to know if the problem is still there before I flash my wizard for the 20th time
http://www.htcamerica.net/docs/RUU_Wizard_225111_22511102_022511_CWS_WWE_Ship.exe
This ROM is AKU 2.2, if I understand the numbers correctly.
On your marks, get set, go!!!
So is there supposed to be anything in this official ROM that is an improvement over summitter's latest?
BTW, I have summitter's 2.3 test 2 but when I go to device info the Rom version is 2.24.10.1WWE. I am guessing this is because it is based on the leaked version from Cingular but would like to confirm this.
It's a corrupted file. I tried downloading it last night and again today just to confirm.. Doesn't seem to be able to get past a certain point before it errors out stating that it's corrupted.
If anyone has gotten it to work, I"d be interested in hearing about it though..
Just downloaded it fine this way no issues, not installed it as i run a UK phone and being new here, and new to the imate systems dont know if it work or not
I kepted it on my comp so if someone needs it i can upload to a server to download for others.
Just send me a PM and i upload.
Keep trying until your downloaded file is about 51MB.
It does appear to be corrupted. It only shows 39MB when it should be 51MB. Strange.
If anyone can post the real file to the ftp that would be greatly appreciated. I can't get it to download correctly.
This is about par for cingular
Yep looks like mines only downloaded 39.1 meg in size sorry.
I think they're re-uploading the file now, because I'm downloading it repeatedly, and the file size keeps increasing. Shouldn't be more than another few minutes before the full file is there. Last I checked it was at over 37 megs.
EDIT: The file is complete, 50.0 megs. I'm finishing up applying the update now.
The link to the ROM is now gone entirely from the HTC download page.
Sumptin's up.

Ignore the fact that the link is gone, the URL at the beginning of this thread still works and points to the now completely re-uploaded file.
And it does work.. I just finished the update, and am in the process of a final soft reset after the Cingular app install..

Yeah, I'm all finished with the install and have started to reconfigure my phone. Unfortunately, I'm at work and don't have my apps here.
idownload and installation complete
so far so good. i am testing it right now.
installed no problem.
the screen for installation showed a more square version of the wizard.
"x-cingular. raising the bar" logo on bootup
it has got some new programs and fetures like.
goodlink - real-time push synchronization of email attachments, and PIM data
get express mail - email for corporate, personal mail while on the go.
dont ask me how to use them, its just there.
the rom version is 2.25.11.1 WWE
rom date: 5/11/06
radio version : 02.25.11
protocol version: 4.1.13.12
extROM version : 2.25.11.102
so far looks to be running faster then normal, but that could be coz its a clean install.
Seems to be working well here. Definitely faster. Will report as more tangible things become apparent. Comm manager has a much nicer look and feel and acquiring an IP address on my wireless network is much quicker.

This ROM is based on the T-Mobile AKU 3.3 WWE. It was cooked with a combination of the Scoter, double_ofour, Molski and anichillus kitchens. It contains no registry tweaks, carrier dialer skins or carrier logo and it even activates your stock extended ROM, which makes it ideal for G4 device owners wanting a stock upgrade. Smartdialing and Phone Pad are both blue. This is as generic as they get.

But for T-mobile us user with stock 2.26 Rom, if your ROM activates the stock extended ROM, the T-mobile crap still there.
Will try it, since Nottosmart version has some issues with the standard dialpad...

You can flash any extended rom to your PDA, there even an empty extended rom, which contains nothing
This is for those who don't use T-mobile. You can make your own extended ROM and flash it to the G4 if you like. The T-mobile extended ROM only gives you connection settings, IM and Winwap, so you may want these things if you are still on their network. You can also stop the customization by a soft reset after the welcome screen anyway.
I've cooked enough personal ROM's to give a different one to everyone on this forum, and I'm a little tired of bleeding edge. I figure this gives me and others an up-to-date ROM option. I can honestly say I like this as much as WM6 now that I'm actually using my device instead of playing with it.
Taking off my "moderator" hat for a minute, I don't like all of the "rah-rah" going on about people changing build numbers and the like because people are ripping off work as their own. Having someone else's name, number or customizations on my device is not to my liking. The good thing about this being a stock ROM is that I can post this as kitchen packages as well, since I extracted the XIP. Anyone can cook this ROM if they like, and I take the credit for none of it.
By the way, Only OS or has IPL/SPL, radio?
Is there anyway to install HTC home on WM5?

I don't know about HTC home. You can cook it and see what happens.
Wow, talk about under-sell, and over-deliver!
The best bit is my phone finally vibrates on incoming email!! I still can't quite believe it's working having tried SO many ROMs and it failing on my device.
I'm going to stick my neck out and predict this will be the best non-official ROM for the Wizard.
My only minor issue was it tried to execute the O2 customisation but seemed to fail (no error but device remained plain), but that doesn't bother me.
Just one quick question, did you put all the fixes from the ext rom into this rom? Not the TMO stuff but the cabs that install that do the Wireless G fix which is in the Ext rom?
Paul MDX, I'm not really sure about why it won't run your ext. ROM. I may need to replace checkautorun.exe for it to work on the O2.
NTS, as for the fixes, I left out the customizations from the T-mobile ROM because they are carrier specific. Almost no fixes/hacks are found in any of the actual factory ROM's. They are contained in the extended ROM's so I figured if a user allows customization, they'll get a factory setup which for me is exactly what I wanted since I'm using my device very heavily at this point.
It works on my cid-locked g4, but how do i know which aku do i have?? I think, that the aku didnt upgrade from 2.3 (love rom) to 3.3 generic. Help
I use now nbd 8.2 and the icons are the same - aku 2.3. I have modem link, which by aku 3 was removed?!?
Did you use shell tool to upgrade?

BTW, if the O2 .tsk is in the ROM, your ROM will not appear differently. Are your connections set up? If so, then the extended ROM ran.
Yes. RUU for love rome, shelltool for generic and nbd.

understood, but if you go through the cabs there are a few reg settings in there that are for this os. They actually did a cab for the wireless g capabilities. I have to get to a M$ XP machine first to flash it. LOL. Ill let you know.

My connections were not set up. I had to configure GPRS by hand. I would normally get a panel asking me for Normal / Corporate mode, which I did not get either.
Paul, I'm still not sure how to get around the fact that the ext. ROM is not activated in the O2 device, so if I can get the checkautorun file from the original O2 ROM, that may solve the problem. This may mean cooking your own. I tried to upload the kitchen to sendspace, but it stopped. I'll try to get it done here when I get my laptop plugged in to a power source. I also have a new OS ready to go as I had to make a registry change to get rid of the pink and gray highlighting on the Smartdialing panel. Other than that, I don't think there is anything needed.
NTS, there are some .provxml files in the 3.08 ROM that have the customizations about which you are talking. I'll look at and see if I can do a Herald style extended ROM which activates one set of files in the OEM section of the ROM then activates the true extended ROM. This may take the better part of a week, as I'm going to be very busy this week and won't have time to keep flashing my device.

Just to confirm, this isn't a problem for me, so don't dedicate time to it on my behalf. If you would fix it for other users or yourself, I can extract the file you want from my original .nbf if you point me to the tool.

This is the Scoter Kitchen which is one of the most complex kitchen's you'll ever use. It does a great job of extracting ROM's for cooking.
Is the T-mobile dialer skin in the extended rom? Which one please?
