Small network operator seeking help with amending ROMs

Hi everyone
I work for a very small mobile operator, we purchase through the O2 UK sales channel so therefore sell the UK version of the O2 XDA2S, which comes pre-installed with the O2 UK ROM, but we have our own GPRS APN connection details etc.
We don't usually sell a huge volume in any one month, due to the fact it is a small market, so setting up our own connection details and 'today screen' on an individual device basis hasn't been a huge hassle.
However I have now been asked to investigate delivering a large quantity (hundreds) preconfigured to a customer. Apologies if this is obvious to some of you (and I did do a search hehe but don't quite understand some of the apps and tweaks I've seen), but is there an application that allows me to tweak the ROM to change the preinstalled O2 connection details to our own? If so I would be hugely grateful if someone could explain in a relatively simple way how to achieve this.
Very many thanks in advance for any help!

You need to have a better understanding of the device and how the applications are placed on it (that come from the operator o2 as well as your own ones).
What you are trying to do we refer to as cooking the exteneded rom.
What we mean by this is taking out components that are not needed or wanted and adding others such as today plugins.
Thus you can create a Exteneded rom and ship this with the update utilaty provided by the manufacture.
Please read the threads in wiki in the exteneded rom kitchen.

As an operator can you get hold of:
"Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition Adaptation Kit Update 2 (AKU2)"
This is shiped to HTC and then passed on to the operator (o2) thus you.

UK o2 Active settings after upgrade

Anyone know the o2 active GPRS manual settings for the BA? I have just performed an upgrade with the o2 Asia rom and obviously now dont have the UK Auto configurator!
Well... whilst I started typing this I FINALLY got through to the o2 Data Support group (0800005005), who gave me the following settings which got me up and running!....
MY ISP
<Add a new modem connection>
Connection name:My Connection
Modem:Cellular Line (GPRS)
Access point name:mobile.o2.co.uk
User name2web
Passwordassword
<Advanced=>Servers>
DNS:193.113.200.200
ALTDNS:193.113.200.201
MY WORK NETWORK
<Add a new modem connection>
Connection name:My Connection 1
Modem:Cellular Line (GPRS)
Access point name:wap.o2.co.uk
User name2wap
Passwordassword
<Set up my proxy server=>Advanced>
WAP: 193.113.200.195:8080
I dont know if this is obvious information, but I couldnt find it anywhere... so I hope it helps someone!
On a side note, whilst upgrading the ROM to a non UK variant, is there some way of avoiding these sorts of troubles?
Cheers,
Jon.

Yes mate, simply use this cab file to install the settings into the phone, therfore not having the trouble of having to type them allin manually!

Any chance of expaning further, how do I replace / install this cab!
Cheers,
Jon.

Never mind, i see this is just a standard cab... thought it was part of the extended rom files or sumthin!
Thanks for that!
Jon.

Could a mod rename this thread please?
I nearly missed it, thought it was to do with the evil useless O2 Active software, not the useful settings for gprs!

cheers mate - just what I needed after my upgarde to the i-mate ROM

O2 XDA IIs UK upgrade using ASIA ROM, will it be a problem?
Hi!
I will be using my XDA IIs O2 UK in the Philippines(ASIA), but I got it from UK. Will there be problems if I will load my UK phone with the ASIA ROM.
Thanks

Hope this is what I need .
Running XDA2i in corporate install, will this CAB put all the required info in the settings to allow GPRS, e-mail wap etc?

T-Mobile New ROM info

Hi yawll,
Just a heads up for all those who are wanting info on TMobiles plans for the Vario, I am havign emails with tech support atm who are saying there is a new update planned for the end of June that will include the extras we are seeing in the recent Qtek and Imate rom releases...
Dunno why there taking so long? I mean to release an update then pull it takes the mick, but to wait three months longer than other carriers to release an update makes me :evil:
Cheerio,
Veef13

Thx
Thx for the update though fella

I applied the i-Mate upgrade to my T-Mobile UK Vario and selected the T-Mobile UK operator option when applying the customisation.
It still didn't setup the GPRS APN stuff - which I expected it to do. Before I was using the T-Mobile shipped ROM.
Is this normal or is there something missing from the customisation?
I also tried the separate t-mobileUK.cab and that didn't set up the GPRS either.
Thanks

no worries... wish they'd pull their finger out tho!

Would any kind person be able to generate a new UK T-Mobile.cab that did configure the GPRS & MMS settings as well and perhaps add back in the defaults favorites/homepage url.
I'm sure this would get a lot of use now we have this new generic i-Mate firmware available
Thanks

Easiest way is grab hold of the Tmobile Extended Rom from the FTP and use the two connection configuration files in there, job done!
but at the same time a working cab would be spot on!

I read an interesting conspiracy theory the other day that theorised the reasons why T mobile are going to be late with an upgraded ROM.
“There are devices running on the AKU2 out there, HTC devices even. Could it be that it is not the new ROM that is causing problems, but the T-Mobile Exchange platform offering push e-mail that T-mobile has announced? With push email in the new ROM but a Exchange platform that is not ready yet, users can easily go to some other service provider to get working push e-mail their. Without the ability to use push e-mail on their SIM locked devices however, MDA Vario users have no other option but to wait for the ROM that does support push e-mail to be released by T-Mobile”
Not my words I must stress, but there's generally no smoke without fire....

Can you confim which are the connection files in the extROM is it
CAB-Customization-Connection-TMUK-Wizard-Aug08
&
CAB-Customization-WapPush-TMO-Wizard-Sep02-1
?
Thanks

hi,
you really only need the first one you highlighted... If you install the second one without the 2nd part of the wap push profile you'll get "cannot find elateservice message ever reboot" you may also want the file called CAB-Customization-TMUK-Wizard-01-04-03Oct05
Cheerio...

searching for provider settings cab ger. vodafone mms&live

hi, i am bored about the many required settings to use
german vodafone live & mms.(spezialy after crosstesting different firmware packages,and everytime losting the settings.)
in the past i got cab files, they automaticly configured the internet & mms for my provider.
is the a cab file available for htc diamond?
THX, dirk

I too looking for the operator cab for my currently location Hong Kong, Operator One2Free. Would appreciate it to get some help, coz I already went to the Operator dealer shop to copy all the wap/MMS/internet setting with all the proxys, but can't get it to work completely.
With all the settings done, I can retrieve email & surf the internet with my data plan, but can't access the wap site of my operator. Strange...
& the salesman has no knowledge of this at all, OMG...
I also tried Tech support but couldn't help, saying the phone is too new, they don't have the latest settings available yet for manual input of proxys.

[Q] Can anyone of existing owners answer simple question?

Is it possible to change User Interface language e.g. from German to English? Or is it necessary to change the whole image?
Thank you very much for reply...

Yep. My UI is english instead of german, but all localization options are set to german (time-format & co.). If you browse the marketplace with this settings, you get a german description of apps (if available), but after installing them the ui of them is set to english.
My language options are englsh/german/spanish on my german o2 HD7.
So far my experience.

Thank you very much... I am on my way to Germany to buy one... ))

Hmm, maybe you won't have luck. It's sold out here everywhere.

Its was not. I bought one in Dresden...

And I have seen several of them in O2 shops in Munich as well. They didnt have them in store but when I asked the sales, he said, that he has couple of them on stock.
Find the shops in your area, check if they have it and go

Till now I thought, I have a good phone (HD2) but since I have HD7 I dont like it anymore.
