ROM NO LONGER AVAILIABLE FROM XDA-DEVs FTP (thanks alot MS)
NEW updated rom comes as a complete install package for use on CID UNLOCKED Charmers that have the 2.06 SPL and IPL bootloaders installed (this can be checked on startup or in the bootloader)
New features include
* Crossbow Theme, also includes reskinned dialpad and WMP
* Crossbow System Sounds
* Latest OV9650.dll Camera driver - a vast improvement on previous
* HTCs X-Button
* New HTC Logo on bootup
* Customized Extended Rom
For those on T-Mobile, use the attached cabs to install settings for Internet and MMS
Doesnt seem to work!
Hi
Just flashed my device with this ROM it doesnt seem to work, kept crashing.. had to reboot and reinstall T-mobile ROM ... stay clear !
Sorry I must disagree with the last statement I did mine about two weeks ago (oct 06) BUT I never install extended rom just pick cabs I need, mine seems faster and more stable than the old install
T Mobile skin remains!!!
Hello.
I have instaled this rom update but T Mobile skin is still in dial pad. I did as you write - reset before customizing. The other T mobile stuff doesnt exist so is ok. But this T Mobile skins for dial pad is awful. What can I do??

not sure how you managed that, the tmobile skin for the phone is displayed using bitmaps, all of which i have removed from the rom aswell as relevant registry entries enabling them.
You make me BRICK my device.

Guys dont install that crap.I was naive enough to install it.The device freezes on the start screen and as the device wont be able to sync again as the active sync doesnt spot it you device will get brick just like mine.Not even try to reinstall this crap will work.
You which posted this should be held responsable!!!
Please somebory out there tell me where can I get my device back on?

well youve done something wrong cos it works fine on mine and others.
with the phone off, hold down camera and plug in the sync cable. keep holding until the bootloader comes up. now you can install the original t-mobile package

Hi guys. Listen I've got a MDA Compact 2 on T-Mobile
Bought it in UK but need 2 use it in Spain
Here's the device info:
MDA Compact 2

Youve tried to install my rom on a AKU1 device. Clearly states in the first post that you need AKU2, which means on startup IPL and SPL should be 2.06 for it to work
Hiya.The device remains killed.It has gone from bad to worse!
The device remains dead!Repeat dont install it just in case guys!!!
Now I've bought an Wizard (Qtek 9100) with a broken screen for 50 quids and I'm going to use my LCD Screen on that device.Been told it's the same one.If it isnt gotta send it to the bin.
MDA Compact 2 Bricked Help...
Hiya
I've already decided to use my MDA Compact 2 LCD Screen on my Wizard device. But I noticed that someone has had the same problem while falshing it with a wizard room.What I'm asking now is very important to him. He'll be able to enter in the bootload mode by holding the camera and power bottom while the device is connected to the power charger.The big issue is: The device will be out of the bootload mode everytime it is taken out of the power.And no,that's not possible to put it into bootload mode while using USB connection,I dont know why.
So normally the problem is to get into the bootload mode.I've managed it.So now I can see just two ways out.One: reflash it using the SD card (there must be someone out there able to do it) or find a hybrid "usb/charger connector" in order to "fool" the device.I mean, a usb conector which has an USB and Power as well just like the one that Motorola uses to their Motorola A1000 device.
Regards
Luiz Santos
cos youve trashed the bootloaders by installing a wizard rom, an SD backup is the ONLY option to fix it, theres no way of uploading a rom with a cable now. also the SD backup will only work if the wizard rom you installed didnt contain bootloaders for a G4 device.
Hello .. thx for the OS ... works fine ... but one thing .. where i can change the softwarebuttons?
ups ... sry ... found it ..
What are the main changes that you have made to make this an unbranded rom?
I thought that all the branding was stored in the extended rom anyway, which hasnt been changed.
ive downloaded it but just want to find some more info on iot before i try it.
Also what cabs would i need to get the tmobile settings back for mms and gprs etc, but none of their ugly skins
Can someone confirm that my device is the right version for this ROM please?

only a small part of the tmob branding is installed from the ext rom, mainly a different set of icons for the start menu, the rest was in the base rom. as far as i can remember, the branding i removed was
phone pad t9 input was replace with standard htc graphics from tmobs pink and grey
tmobs pink and grey dialler was removed, leaving the standard windows one
tmobile carrier logo removed from dialler
internet explorers 1st page has tmob stuff removed.
i recommend installing the following from the ext rom
CAB: \Extended_ROM\MP_EmailWizDB_PPC_TMOUK_060216.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\MP-Shorcut-MMS1-JAVA6XX-CV-VOICE-EmailWiz-TMO-051215.CAB

CAB: \Extended_ROM\PP_DiscoButton_8.sa.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\PP_UA_TMOEU_CHM_20602101.CAB
and then for tmobile users to install all tmob settings for mms, internet etc
CAB: \Extended_ROM\MP_Customization_TMUK_Charmer(AKU2.0 )_060414.CAB - sets up mms settings
CAB: \Extended_ROM\PP_Connection_TMUK_CHM_20602102.cab - tmobile gprs settings

Thanks for that, could you also tell me when to reset to stop the TM branding and where to find the cabs mentioned?
"i havent worked out how to insert a modified extended rom in the package, so you'll still need to soft reset at customization on first start to avoid tmobile crap then go in and install what you need."

Sorry but i have to agree, ive just used your rom and have the same problem, i soft reset after initial boot up and have not installed anything from the extended rom yet and i still have the tmobile dialpad, carrier gif & phonepad.
Just checked the windows directory and thay are all still in there.
Could u please tell me which one in the Extended ROM is the cab file for the program to change the 2 soft keys on the today screen?

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?

Never mind. It's working now. Thanks.
now obsolete
new aku2 here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=279908
so am i right in presuming that the gprs settings and phone settings are present in the rom? if not, how do we find them?
ALSO:
T-Mobile are releasing a rom update this month (ie this coming week!) so it might be worth looking at what they have done, not just for wifi fix but any other maintenence changes. Apparently they do alot of testing on their roms so there might be useful stuff there.
t-mobile gprs and wap settings are part of the extended rom. the 3 cabs files that begin CAB-Customization-...
i didnt include them as i'm on O2. This is more like a 'Qtek' version for the charmer, a universal version. doesnt include any operator specfic content.
looking forward to that update, hopefully its aku2, everyone else is releasing theres at the moment.
SDIO
What about SDIO drivers in this debranded OS?
so if i back up my current rom cabs and then install this, if it all goes pearshaped, i can relaod the origional and not end up with an expensive paperweight?
i wanna do the deed, but am scared as hell with it being my first PPC and only a few weeks old at that.
but anything to speed it up, its like im running windows or something.......
oh!
:wink:
only way you could mess up is if you pull the plug or have a power cut! while uploading the new os. remember to backup all your contacts and stuff as you'll need to hard reset.
you can start all over again if it doesnt boot or something by using the install package on the t-mobile site
http://t-mobile.iris-global.com/download_manager_mda_com2.html
just go into the phones bootloader, with the phone off, hold down camera and plug in the sync cable until the 3 color boot screen comes up and run the install package to go back to factory.
It worked!!
Dear dave106 and all;
i tried your fantastic upgrade yesterday. This was my experience:
1- I works like charm!
2- you might find it easier to use Total commander to uncheck 'system' and 'read-only' in the properties of the windows folder on your charmer, before Unlocking CID (to avoid any error).
3- alternatively you might use Lockiwiz 2b from this forum to unlock and unlock CID first.
4- the ROM upgrade went fine, showed some error messages on the charmer screen (nothing to worry about) but did not indicate an end. I unplugged it after 20 minutes. It rebooted on itself et voila, it was up and running.
5- Changing the boot scrren went very smoothly.
6- I noted that the T-mobile customization (after the new config.txt) did not install at all. I had to manually install the CAB listed in the config.txt file to reload the MMS and GPRS settings.
But now my charmer has no T-mobile crap on it...
However, i did not notice any dramatic change in speed....
Ill check your unbraded rom for wifi sdio capabilities over the next few days (on a 'just in case' basis). I'm just recovering from a totally borked pagefile on my main pc so ive been too busy to try as of yet.

Anyone have any ideas on what i'm doing wrong or what to do next?
I'm a noob, obviously :roll:
Keep in mind that flashing to a nonofficial rom voids your warranty. I am in no way responsible for any issues you may come across when attempting to update your rom. Please keep your questions about this rom in this thread, various users including myself can help you if needed. Please do not pm me with general questions about this rom or the mda, they would be better answered in the thread.

[ Description ]
I was going to wait until the AKU 2.2 update was released before cooking a new rom but I've grown impatient. This is the latest os rom available and while it doesn't add anything new feature wise I have changed some other things around for the better. The first thing I did was update the rom install process to automatically attempt to CID-UNLOCK the device and because of this change I have recompiled all of my current roms with the new installer. The second thing I did was go through ALL of the T-Mobile default customizations and cropped out only what was needed; I also cleaned out all of the other cabs used during the customization process. The third thing was creating a new set of registry tweaks to my liking. In the end, on a fresh boot the device has over 40MB of storage space available and over 25mb of memory free.
If you have issues upgrading to the 2.x roms I would advise downgrading to 1.08 first and then try installing 2.x roms again.

just in case I would install a english ROM (german ones are usually quite late), could I change the keyboard language?

so what's so special about this ROM? Did they remove the stupid battery meter from where the date/time should be? I already like 2.17 even though the caller id doesn't show up on my BT headset as it did on my old JAM. Was it worth the upgrade?
Thanks for doing this!! I too have become anxious and would like to upgrade. I have been running the last custom rom you cooked and I have been happy with it thus far. However, as of recently I have been having the random phone resetting issue that has been discussed in various other threads.
Does your current custom rom address that issue, as well as put in the stereo BT fix?
Looking forward to doing the upgrade!!
Upgrade working great so far.
Upgrade!
I have a sickness. I have to apply updates when they come available. It is a strange compulsion. Am I alone? I actually love doing it.

thanks again for all the work ... I have been using your 2.17 ROM since the day I got my T-Mobile MDA flawlessly and I just saw you released a new one - I'm going to install it right now.
keep up the good work ...
Keyboard tweaked
Just installed this on a Qtek 9100 and now the keyboard is no longer mapping to what the silk screen on the key says it should be. Looks like there are some differences in key mappings between the MDA and the 9100. I did try switching it from USA English to UK English and then back to see if it was a Regional Setting error and there was no change. It is not huge differences, but large enough that when you are using the keyboard that you have to hunt around with the "alt" button until you find the right key you are looking for. The hyphen key now maps to the underscore when you press the alt key now- stuff like that. Will definitly want to be careful if you intend to install this on a 9100 or Kjam, I think.

I did not install this yet. Still am a bit confused
I know its stated that it will automaticly unlock the CID, but how about the SIM? Will it also unlock the SIM? If so I guess there is nothing else to do, as it will unlock both SIM and CID and then install the new ROM. If not how do I unlock the SIM?
Also another question I have is RING TONES!! tmo only has a handful of ring tones installed. I have some great ring tones that I have on my old phone. I want to transfer them to the MDA, but where would they be saved to on the MDA, and how would I select them?
Thank You in advance for everyones help.

thanks for the new rom. Im a newbie here and i just used the lokowitz to unlock my o2 xda mini s.My question on this new rom is there a special way to run it or should i just copy it onto my mini s and just execute it. I already unlocked it and im using it for tmobile usa, just need to get the tmo rom. please advise.
xelencin, thanks as always.. i downloaded yesterday from here. Have to wait till after plumber comes and goes before i update... :roll:
Adding A2DP AVRCP
Xelecin:
Nice work as usual. I just barely flashed the 2.17. I was using the 2.8 Qtek Test ROM because of the A2DP and AVRCP. Can this be added to your ROM somehow?
Also, is it bad to flash the ROMs a few time?
Thanks in advance.
just dloaded it - and gonna give it a try...
cheers!
:wink:
what is the difference between the rom's you upload to ftp
I have mda vario. I want to upgrade rom but I'm not sure that I know the right rom available. xelencin upload 3 rom to ftp server of xda-developers(ftp://xda-developers.com/Uploads/Wizard/Roms/xelencin/). I don't know what is the difference so I want to learn the correct rom for my mda vario. Thank you
Do the ipl, spl, radio and os all come from O2 UK ROM? (which is the fastest base ROM I have tried).
Many Thanks
Martin
clock and battery still in same place wtf gives?!?
I installed this ROM on my Wizard. The express reason I installed it was because the wi-fi was non-functional for me on the stock T-Mobile firmware. This firmware doesn't seem to work either in the wi-fi department for me. The Wizard detects my wireless network and I'm prompted to enter a key (I use just WEP encryption). I enter the key and it never seems to connect. I have entered the key numerous times to make sure I have it right to no avail. One time it did seem to make a connection with my wireless network but quickly disconnected. There are other devices on my wireless network so I know it's working. My wireless network is just a simple Netgeat 802.11b access point. This is getting really frustrating. I'm running out of idea on what to try and was hoping for some help here.
Hey,
I just flashed my friends MDA with this new firmware with the 2.21 custom and everything went fine except after its done and i rebooted it, i am getting "Data Crashes. Please contact your system provider" and where the start button is, SIMlock is being displayed. Is there something obvious that i have missed or whats going on? I have the MDA too, succesfully installed 2.17 a few weeks ago. Any ideas?
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!)

Superb!!! , i'll give this a go today. THANKS!
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.

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.

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.

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.

I got this last night so I'm uploading it now. It should be there in about 35 mins

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

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.

I haven't loaded from this link because I loaded the one leaked the other day. But the link works for download.
http://www.t-mobileapps.com/downloadcenter/Software_Detail.cfm?ID=80
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'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.

Thanks, I'll look around for that post.
I'm downloading now!
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?
