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.

Hi
I have searched and found no answers to this particular question, I have recieved an o2 Ignito today as an upgrade for my partner, I have sucsessfully installed the solid black windows theme and the original HTC Touchflo, I have now found that the Comm Manager is still o2 blue, I have tried downloading the new updated comm manager which works but it is still blue. I basically want it to be the standard grey colours as on the original diamond but I am out of ideas, I don't really want to flash the ignito with a ROM from the forum as I don't really want to void the warranty. Putting the serial number into HTC Support has let me register the phone ok but It says the ROM upgrade is not compatible so that was a dead end.
If anyone has any info or solutions I would be most gratefull
Thanks
Richard
All files for this are located in the windows folder.
Maybe some guys from the forum can upload the files from a htc rom.
Just put the files in your windows folder an overwrite the old ones.

Had my Ignito last week and am still trying to get back up to speed with WM devices (2/3 years since my wizard). How did you make everything black? And do i NEED to be updating the comm manager?
Thanks.
Matt.
To get the windows top and bottom bars black I found a WM6 theme called soloblack.tsk once added to the windows directory it can be seen in the today settings and once applied it changes bars to solid black, the downside is the large start menu was still blue!! Changing the start menu to small icons seemed to fix this but I think this is again dependent on the theme you install so the files required were not there.
The comm manager seems to be theme dependant too, I found the original HTC Black theme but this didn't have data for the comm manager so it stayed the o2 blue colours, I tried another theme and it worked with the comm manager but the sound settings menu was looking horrid so at the moment I have taken it back to full o2 blue until i can find a full HTC black theme with the comm manager included etc.
Hope this makes sense.

Hi,
I want to change my rom version but i'll loose orange applications, especiallu Orange TV
I found it in this topic but it's not for the Diamond's resolution.
Where can i've this application for Diamond, or Can i extract this application from my phone and how to do it ?
Thanks a lot
posts elsewhere but for UK its http://orangeworld.co.uk/r/orangetv into Opera.
humm
Doesn't work for me :s
It say : "The Page you are trying to access via your Orange phone, when connected via the orange GPRS network. If you are a BlackBerry user trying to access via the BlackBerry Internet Service Browser please change your default Browser to orangeWorld through wich this portal available."
PS : an 403 error ^^
EDIT : OK it's good, i found the TV HD on Orange World^^
But when i launch a TV, it launch an application.
But when i'll change my ROM, i'll don't have this application anymore.
The TV on Orange World will work anyway or not ?
I've just upgrade to 1.93 official ROM
Now Orange tv doesn't work anymore :s

Hi Guys,
I having trouble with the setup of SFR Illimytics with my HTC s730.
In fact, I succeed to setup my GPRS connexion (Wap SFR) but when I open the Vodafone Live main page (live.vodafone.fr) to watch TV, I got a text page, without any access to TV or music.
So I looked up in XDA forum and Modaco to find a solution.
I found many things about the TytnII or other PocketPC's devices, but nothing for my smartphone.
Anyway, I decided to try diffrents solution designed for PocketPC platform but they didn't work properly (SFRinternetV2.cab, TV-musiqueSFR.cab, VodafoneLive-PROD-v1.4.ARM.cab, HTC_P3600-S300__Config_WAP_Tv_3G-3G___SFR.cab, etc...)
The result is I have now access to Vodafone Live! with text and images, but my IE is having a strange behaviour : I lost the 2 menus at the bottom of the screen ("Favorites" and "Menu"). So I cannot use it anymore
My idea is there is an issue with the file "browser.dll" in these CABs which was designed for PocketPC platform, not Smartphone.
Does anyone succeed to setup his s730/Wings with SFR Illimytics (or any other WM smartphone) ?
Thanks
Murray Bozinski
Ok Guys,
After several tests, hard reset, tests, etc... I finally find a solution !
Only one solution is working for smartphone : TV_SFR_Beta1.cab
(Google will help you to find it)
I now have a full access to Vodafone Live Portail, with TV working properly.
I still cannot access to free music and "Live Messenger by SFR" but I don't care these features
So, dear Smartphone's users, if you want to access to the TV with French SFR/Vodafone, use this Cab !

Hi,
i have bought a German Vodafone branded Touch Diamond 2. But i have some questions:
- There is a built-in G-Sensor, which can be calibrated, but it do nothing else. I can rotate the phone till my hands fall off, but nothing happens (i already tried some registry tweaks, i found in this forum)
- When i click on the Symbols in the Startmenu line e. g. the battery symbol, then it doensn't open the battery settings, but something called "notifications" (Benachrichtigungen).
- The Manila screen has wrong colors. White/red instead of black/white. How can i change it?
- How can i get the "HTC Audio Manager" to play the files in a folder? I want to listen to a audiobook, but it messes up the file order, which is pretty annoying.
Now, while i am writing this, i think about flashing a unbranded ROM could be simpler, right? But is this the solution i am looking for?

- Accelerometer: Are you attempting to use the g-sensor for anything in particular? Try loading up the game "Teeter" which relies on the accelerometer for moving the ball along a maze. There are few provided apps which require the accelerometer functionality, and Manila doesn't rotate by default.
- TouchFLO notifications is an addon provided by HTC. Search the forums for instructions on how to disable this functionality; I believe there are a couple of applications which will allow you to do this without manually editing registry keys etc.
- Red / White is Vodafone's brand. You may be able to install a replacement skin for Manila, it's up to you.
I'm afraid I don't use my Topaz for listening to music, so I can't help with your final issue.
Flashing an unbranded ROM may resolve the third issue, but the rest will more than likely remain. I don't see them being issues, though, just personal preference!
HTH.
Thanks for the answers!
The solution for the first and the second problem is this. If someone is wondering: The Topaz has a built in G sensor, but it is unused, mean's that no installed program is using this feature by default. Really strange from my point of view!
The third problem seem to be a little more difficult: M2DC say's that manila is not installed! And i wasn't able to find a Diamond II skin to download. Others are available. Maybe someone can give me a hint?
For the fourth problem i work around using a patched TCPMP, which looks a little outdated, but is my personal number one for media playback.
Greets schnurzelat
I think you will find that the sensor is used when you flip the phone over on an incoming call to mute the ringing!
That's why I never use branded ROMs (T-Mobile Germany)!
M2DC won't work 100% with new Manillas, never worked on branded or official ROMs for me.
Try latest original German HTC WM6.1 ROM Build 1.39.407.1.
I don't like WM6.1, so I use Tom's Leo R2 WM6.5 incl. very nice Manilla 2.5, which runs great with latest Radio, but it's English language.
I don't like branded ROM's too. But the german vodafone flash isn't availble yet - so i can't go back in case of warrenty issue.
