My shiny new XDA2s arrived today and now its time to get down to business. For me, this involves two things:
1. Unlock the d*mn thing (may not be as easy as it was for the old XDA2)
2. Strip out all the unnecessary O2 stuff that may get in the way being as that I'm on Orange.
I've not seen any posts here yet where people actually get into what file is for what on this baby, so if you have and idea, please clue us all in!
Just to be clear, we're talking about the new new XDA2s (i.e. Blue Angel)
Thanks
hope this helps
and this
Excellent, but I don't think the xda2unlocker works on the new XDA2s does it?
what does "UKORGCustomize.CAB" do ?????
Yep more info guys would be helpfull thanks you.
re files: it's more fun putting stuff on your phone when you don't know what it is!!!!!!!ORGUK is orange customization, i put it on mine, think it's GRASS screen, back-up, update.
hahah yea that can be fun, but it wont be fun to hard reset and reinstall everything... maybe if i was in highschool with nothing else better to dooooo
but by making mistakes you learn more. i know how to flash phone really easy now. life is too short, experiment!!!!!
yes yes i learned how to flash it too after 10 minutes but STILL, there are some damages (software-wise) that will screw up your phone so bad you wont be able to re-flash it...
anyone with the UK xda2s can post the Extended ROM cab files please?
thanks

xda2 s suck's
after using xda2,
i found xda 2s,
verry bad like the screen its i think 50% dull than the xda2
and the jabra bluetoot which worked fine with xda2 dosen't work well with 2s lot of hissing,
i am really unhappy with the screen quality,
so guy's and gal's stick to xda2 and pray that xda3 will have a crisp and clear screen and the bluetoot will work fine,
I agree with jaykumarr, the Blue Angel in it's present configuration is a lemon.
The only advantages being a slide out keyboard which I can live without and a wifi connection, which with the number of open wifi networks around can be handy.
The disadvantages being almost too many to mention - eg. poor sound quality, bluetooth doesn't work properly, poor screen, button lock unlocks when the os enlivens on any event, etc, etc.
sleepnow et al,
I really like the black enclosure of the XDA IIs over the the PDA2k or MDA III, but don't want to be tied down to the O2 ROM. In my case, I'd like to take an XDA IIs and:
1. Unlock it
2. Install either the MDA III T-Mobile ROM, or the PDA2k ROM.
Please keep us posted as to your progress, as it seems what you're trying to do here is similar.
I downloaded O2 extrom and put it in storage on my MDAIII . Did hard reset and soft reset before t-mobile etxrom loaded, then manually installed o2 extrom. I now have O2 XDAIIs, but with silver case :-(
Someone else who doesn't like the O2 software but likes the black case!
I've sat and played with the extended rom, on a IIs. Hard reset the thing, and then stopped the auto install and then run each of the cabs by itself to see what it does. I've got most of them, but not all of them.
Below is what I've got so far. Any mistakes, or additions let me know please.
Thanks

XDA2s ROM and Radio upgrade files
Can anyone post the latest ROM and Radio upgrade files for the XDA2s.....Please
I have a feeling that:
BA_cm_rm_map_o2_v3
Installs something that autocompletes the phone number/email of a contact when you start typing their name into the "To:" field of a text message/email.
At least, I upgraded my XDA IIs to the newer i-Mate ROM and it stopped doing this (although the new ROM means that pressing the message hard button no longer always brings up Outlook Mail - yay!). Installed that .cab from the O2 extended ROM, reset, and it started autocompleting names again.
If someone else could confirm that's what that cab does it'd be appreciated.
Chris.

Hey All,
I'm curious as to what all the .cab files do in the new T-Mobile extended rom (when you flash to ROM 2.26). I did the soft-reset trick to avoid having them installed but there are a few features I know I'm missing that I would like to get back (such as the today screen shortcut to the comm manager).
Does anyone have a list of what these .cab files do in the new extended rom?
Thanks,
- Tatusmi
Bumping as I would also like to know if anyone has figured this out. Thanx!!!
If you look on the wiki there is some limited documentation about what each thing does, when I went through each one individually I found some of the things labeled as "unknown" were actually self explanatory in the name.

I thini it us called t mobilr blue... not sure... also I remember seeing a post maybe from a kitchen that had a lot of cab file such as office. aim and etc.... if anyone knows please post ... thank you.
Okay
Search for HTC audio manager. Also it can be found on a page with a lot more Touch software for the zwizard. But you could also consider the Wizard retouched Rom with the plug in allready build into it.
Oh what the heck you can find it here.

What you thought i would help you find a thread in the wizard uprgading forum called "HTC Touch - New Files For Our Wizards".
Work Baby, welcome to the club.
About the Theme. Just ask any user on a wing thread if they can send you their theme.tsk from the windows folder of their device
IS it cool?
Is there any way that I can just get the htc today cab and the 3D Touch flow cab for (Tilt Kaiser) Im not comfortable installing a new rom to get these items. thanks Jami J
Did you try searching? It's in the Latest Cabs for Kaiser thread that's stickied at the top of this forum.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1678291&postcount=10
Yes I hit that thread all ready I pulled some stuff from there all ready. (htc music player and flash lite 2.0 that is the style of download that I am looking for. I just downloaded the Kaiser tweaks v0.4 that program worked wounders for fixing the screen locking up (dim) after a phone call. and activating the HSPHA has brought the "H" to my tilt for the first time since I have owned the Tilt. I wish I could do 1/3 of the stuff you guys know how to do. You take a good prouduct and make it 100% better for the user Jami j.
Guys,
New user - very impressed, found lots of good stuff here - hoping someone can help with this one:
I have had my Vodafone Touch Diamond for just over a month - very nice phone, awful speed!!! I hate the Vodafone default theme, so I had installed the default black one that I found here - very nice looking theme!!
Now I have just upgraded to the 1.93 Vodafone ROM, and the phone finally runs at a half-decent pace - problem is the nasty Vodafone them is back. I then re-installed the old black theme I had, and it has slowed the phone right down again (in fact slower than it was on the old ROM, and some graphics weren't as good) - it looks like the 1.93 ROM has a newer version of Touchflo (or is it the theme?). Basically, the phone, on the settings screen, says it is running Touchflo 3D version 1.1.34574.1_1630.38. It clearly is different, as the animation is less, and there are subtle changes (alphabetical index when selecting country or town in Weather, for example).
I would rather have the newer TouchFlo (the losses in animation are worth it for good performance).
So the question - anyone know where I can get the updated black Touchflo software for the 1.93 ROM? I appreciate I could flash a non-voda ROM into the phone, but would rather not - don't want to lose my Voda sat-nav, for instance.
Any thoughts would be much appreciated, guys.
Thanks
Paul
Hi Paul From Swindon,
I'm Nathan From Oxford lol....oh the hatred (football Terms)
I'm using the vodafone ROM and i installed this great Diamond TF3D Config Tool.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=405749
I then also got the Black Diamond Theme, can't remember the link for that and saved it to my internal storage.
I then used the Config tool to install the black theme.
Its fairly quick and keeps the extras like sat nav etc.
I did try installing the new HTC ROM however it DID like you say removed all the settings and the vodafone extras. so it took me about an hour to find and install the Vodafone one again.
Annoying!
Also in Oxford
hi guys, Ralf here also in Oxford. I've had my Diamond for about the same time and been playing with some of the tweaks to try and speed it up. Interestingly I bumped into a guy in Carphonewarehouse the other day who was the Microsoft Trainer for the Diamond. He was great and spent about 20 mins showing me around some areas of the phone. The unit he was running was not Vodafone branded and was so amazingly quick. I've managed to up the speed a bit but it's still slow in comparison to the unit I saw the MS guy with.
To be honest I've been very wary of trying one of the other ROM upgrades as I don't want to brick my handset or loose the Vodafone Sat Nav etc.
I just looked and my handset is on ROM 1.37.161.2 dated 26/6/08.
Can you please point me in the direction of where you got the latest Vodfone ROM from and how easy it to apply it (I should also add that I'm using a Mac not a PC so if there is some PC based tool then I'll have a small problem using it).
Thanks
Ralf
heres the link for the official vodafone ROM update LINK
its a piece of cake to install, but not sure about using a mac!
just a quick thought about the vodafone sat nav;
once you've clicked through the initial link, it just downloads a cab (installation) file,
which is easy enough to find and copy through active sync onto your computer for safe keeping.
Thanks
Cheers for the info and link there, I managed to download the installer and am just waiting now until the new PC laptop I ordered for my wife arrives at the weekend so that I can give it a go.
Thanks
Ralf
In Finland here. I want to use the official ROM as well, but my provider doesn't have one available, and the HTC Europe site tells me that the ROM updater is not for my device.
Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device.
I am a registered e-club member, with the serial number registered. How can I get the ROM properly? Or if I install this one from Vodafone, will it affect my phone somehow?

Hi Nwilko,
Did you have to install HardSPL before flashing original HTC rom?
Hi Guys,
Thanks for your thoughts so far - sorry, been off-line all week.
Nathan, thanks for your thoughts - this is what I tried doing, but when I installed the defalt black theme from this site via the config tool, it went incredibly slowly, and lost some of the new features in the TouchFlo system, such as alphabetical indexes on the weather, and seemed to return some of the aminations that had been taken out - it was taking up to 5 seconds to scrol between main screens, much worse than before - I also noticed I couldn't read some of the text.
I guess what I could do with is the Touchflo software from the 1.93 ROM update. It, I assume, exists as a cab that installs when you first switch on a non-branded phone after a ROM update. I am guessing that default one already comes with the black theme, and has the speed and menu improvements.
I have tried to live with the Voda theme for the last week, but there is no getting away from the fact that it looks terrible. The whole phone just looks so good when the black theme is applied.
I am tempted just to try and install the HTC ROM and scrap my Voda one. I really didn't want to lose Sat-Nav - I agree the link on the Voda ROM just downloads a Cab file, but I am worried it won't activate - does something in the ROM tell it that ot's on a free subscription, or does the website activate it from the mobile number - I don't want to pay 4.99 per month for it! Anyone tried it?
Thanks
Paul
Guys,
Gave up on trying to get a newer black theme for my Vodafone TD. Bit the bullet, and installed Hard-SPL, and the latest factory ROM (thanks in large part to the exceellent info on this site!).
So far all looks good - nice and quick, lovely black theme once more, nice speed, and newer radio ROM too (the new Voda Rom still had older radio version).
Fingers crossed, it seems much better - and because I kept the Vodafone Sat-Nav CAB file, re-installed it and it seems to work fine!!
Coolio!!
Paul
