I have ordered a new Imate PDA2K from Australia through Ebay, haven't got it yet so I do not have all the data incl. all rom versions it is running under, however, Orange Partner, my Cell Phone provider has released a new Rom version on it's website, Orange_Israel_V1.72.187_Dated-3-2-2005.exe designated for the IMATE XDA II, (the same but without the sliding keyboard) which is the device they sell here in Israel, and which contains Hebrew language.
My question is, would it work on my new PDA2K?, what do I have to do in order to be able to reinstall the original rom in case the new one does not work, I have read the "Blue Angel for beginners" at wiki.xda-developers.com, however it is rather complicated, well at least for a new user.
Thank you.
I would not install the ROM for the XDA II, I really don't think the only change is the sliding keyboard. It's a different device and comes with dfferent hardware and I have a feeling that you are going to screw up your phone, especially since u are getting the phone from australia - what would u do if u screw it totally? U are stuck with a dead duck.
If I were U - I would not take the risk.
This is just my opinion.
Thank you for sharing your opinion, I thought so to, anyway there is a rom update at Club Imate, I think I will use that one.
From what I have read in the [email protected] forum, the update I was talking about in my question is the exRom, it appeares so in many devices in some posts.
Thanks again!
I just called HTC europe and they told me an update for s730 is in progress.

i did ask but she didnt know exactly when.. she said in the coming month or 2
Unfortunately I was told the same thing ("about a month or two") about 6 months ago.
HTC support is very disorganized, and even to get that out of them I had to go through about 5 different people, who all spoke very broken English.
I will not be buying another HTC product; ever.

frankly .ur reply made me sick.
do u mean u a going to buy another brand who hires good english speaking workers?
after all htc is the brand from taiwan. they speak chinese.
Depending on which departments he was at broken english might not be a good thing. Their offices in Taiwan yes broken english is understandable. But their main customer support line should have a few people if not everyone who can speak english decently. Europe and the North American region have a fair ammount of people purchasing their devices who speak english in one of its flavors.
I think that the language issue hit more upon that user due to the lack of informative people he kept getting transferred to time after time.
(At least I hope that's all it is )
any updates for now?
I'm looking for original S730 ROM.

ur = you are? or did you mean you're? your perhaps?
If I spend a large sum of money on a cell phone, with a warranty, I expect the company to honour it. Being given the run around by people reading off screens with no follow-up is bad customer service. Them not being able to speak passable English is also annoying. Nothing sick or inappropriate about that one champ. If another brand offers me better support, and cares after the customers after the purchase, I will (and did) go that route.
Also, in Taiwan they speak both Chinese and Taiwanese. I visited almost a year ago with some of my co-workers. Just an FYI, bud.

I was cheated once and now I won't believe any rom release dates anymore until it is actually released on their site

Funny. I was given the exact same reply yesterday.
Only thing that bothers me is that the upgrade for the TyTNII has been released some time ago (correct me if I'm wrong) and the upgrade for the Touch Cruise has also been released several weeks ago. They don't mention the upgrade for the Touch Dual which has also recently seen daylight. So I hope they know what they are talking about. Anyway it gives some hope though.
I doubt it'll be any better than Alcaline's excellent version.
The cooked are crap only the SMS chat owns
Official new ROM out
So, the update file is finally posted on the HTC web site.
I installed, and it seems to run fine, but too early to give a final opinion. Memory management 'feels' better.
BTW: Where in the version numbers does one see it's really 6.1? And is there a list out there of improvements over 6.0?
Hi Hfrank,
version number: start -> settings -> about -> in top of screen.
Is there an sms-chat in the update?
"About" only shows: Windows Mobile 6 Standard
CE OS 5.2.1622 (Build 18128.0.4.4) - so not easy for someone like me to see the exact version (if I didn't know better I'd think OS 5.2 means WM 5.2, not 6.0 or 6.1 .
"Is there an sms-chat in the update?"
Haven't found one yet.
The more I think about it, it seems this is a bugfix update, but not update to 6.1...?
Hi
There isn't coming any 6.1 update for this phone. On the swedish site www.mobil.se there was a couple of weeks ago a chat with Christer Högström from HTC.
I asked him when the 6.1 update was to be released and the answer in swedish was:
"Det var planerat att uppgrader S730 till Wm6.1 men med den minnes kapasitet som finns på produkten blev det lite svårt att ge kunden en bra upplevelse. Där emot kommer vi med en Standard uppdatering till S730 om ca 2 veckor som förbättrar radio stabiliteten."
Quick translation: It was planed to upgrade s730 to WM 6.1 but with the memory capacity on the product it became hard to give the user a decent user experience. But we will come with a standard update that will improve radio stability.
Heres is the chat: http://www.mobil.se/ArticlePages/200810/28/20081028094638_MOB813/20081028094638_MOB813.dbp.asp
Sorry guys!
I am the new one.Even make my first thread in the english forum......
question1:who can suggest me to flash one rom which can help me to appreciate the beatiful screen on manilia 3d. what i should do anything? the D3D driver?must be installed?
qusetion 2:I get one phone from taobao in China,how to identify it to be the edition which it will be.
My keyboard of the Kaiser has a trouble:"z" and "y" is replaced by themselves.Excuse me,my English is not well.....Help me ,anybody,Thanks........please
Hi Johnyshi.
Im not from shanghai but have visited there on business if that helps
Are you sure you want the M3D on your Kaiser?
If so the only cooked ROM with it is Leo's L26 3D see the link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=436446
remember that this is still under development and far from perfect as Leo stated and if your not familiar with the roms and chefs around it I can tell that Leo is one of the very best and makes superb roms.
As for the keyboard issue - are you using the tilt? if so search for a cab named tilt keyboard fix and use it.
good luck
Send me an email with your problem and maybe I can help. I live Guangxi, but I'm not from China so I can't read Chinese. [email protected]
hi, jonny, I'm shanghainess.
Sorry for chinese below:
我建议你先看一下XDA的wiki，里面的东西有助于你了解你手上的kaiser版本，m3d界面在kaiser上还不是很完善，因为d3d驱动始终有问题，并且，如果你需要在横屏模式下使用中文显示，那你只有放弃任何涉及d3d驱动的版本，只有就的odi 驱动3.14可以保证横屏下的cleartype显示，建议你使用dk 7的CT版，这是我目前使用下来最完美的版本。
First,thanks a lot to the guys who be eager to help me.I have used the both fix patches in the wiki of the forum ,but it doesn't be useful.I suppose maybe the rom which i am using is the reason.Can it?I have 4 times experience to flash my Kaiser.
I am care that if I use Eglish rom ,The system in English will perfectly support Chinese ,or not?
Revin,may i have one number that I can take some conversation with u,thanks,any kinds of communication.Ex qq or msn
Okay I've been having a look, and there's some more newer stuff in this rom but hte language obviously isn't english, (it's 412) so that's me out.
most of the new stuff seems to relate to SKtelecom
Build date for the rom (or most of the files) is 18-20/02/2009 so it's pretty new.
there's a new cab of media panel. R23_SKT_RC2_33262 (operator branded?)
a DAUM mobilepanel cab ???
Camera files are R253, there's a new MMSC "mplayon" - no idea what that is yet, but I suspect it's something to do with WIPI as several files (including DShow) reference it
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WIPI
opera is 15969
there's a wondefully titled
NATE melonsync sonyericsson STARWARS cab ???
My PC panel cab
MY Smart (and MYsmart cab)
I've zipped up some of the cabs here.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=6TBY76JZ
Not had chance to test them yet, so they may cause you to become Korean, or something... off to bed.
files in that zip are;
FM_Radio_MR1_R20_SKT_32516
Installwizard SE Starwars 090109
MXP R23 SKT RC2-33262
Mypcpanelinstall
Natemelonsync SE starwars
wm6.1ppc dawn opera 15969
There's also a new radio 1.11.25.71 it's in the radio thread.
Update
MXP is in English, cant see anything new on that panel.
Opera doesn't have the slidey zoom.
My guess is it's a koren customized R2
Will have a look when I finish my homeworks (my X icons )
thanks for sharing
you don't need the slider zoom, use the volume keys for zoom !!

you probably don't need any of these cab files for your country's rom.
xperia x1 is exclusive on sktelecom in korea, and i have to say, korea has one of the most ****ed up cellphone market in the whole world. korea might make some nice phones(samsung, lg), but our cellphone service is one of the worst in korea i'll say(****ed up plans that are over priced, although quality is excellent)
all those new panels and new cab files that are in the korean rom is for sktelecom to make money off of it.
daum mobilepanel will connect you to daum.net website and their programs wanting you to use sktelecom's 3g service.
nate melonsync is sktelecom's music service so that sktelecom can sell music through 3g.
mplayon is some wipi based bs program to use sktelecom's 3g service.
mypc and mysmart are for people who doesnt have outlook to manage their contacts and calender in korean.
xperia will be korea's 6th or 7th smartphone korea will ever have.
because of the freedom you have with smartphones, until recent times, korea did not sell any of the smartphone(samsung blackjack came out year after it was launched in the states.)
basically, you don't need any of those files and no need to get curious about it. i intend to delete all those crab too, moment i get my xperia =)
@evank418
Wow - the carriers most surely don't like the concept of one SIM-free device world-wide. I've watched this pernicious bully-boy carrier marketing slowly spread across the globe for about 3 years now.
For example, SE indulged Telstra in Aus for the X1a as 1st pass exclusive retailer - that's not happened before
It's akin to purchasing a motor car and being told you can only buy it from from one retailer under their own unchallengeable conditions.
Thanks for the insights.
to ianl8888
yeah korea has no such thing as sim free. we have 3 cellphone service privider( SK telecom, KTF, LG telecom) and they just recently allowed you to move to other service provider with your phone, but everyone uses different sms program. so basically, you can move to other service provider, but you can only make a phone call (no sms, no video calls, etc).
im not found MY Smart (and MYsmart cab)
Tried all the apps...they suck
Opera has much worse scrolling, could not identify any improvements.
Starwars stuff is obviously providerspecific
a Panel in a very foreign language does not help either
But thanks for the stuff anyway!!
Media Panel have some changes. i Replaced it in my rom.
language is russian. i thing it have libraries for all languages
fards, are you ever gonna release a rom for us to play with??

Do you buy x1 from Korea

Im willing to do anything I possibly can to help in the creation of the ROM. I backed up the original Korean rom I got from mine. Just say the word and I'll do whatever else I can to help. I'm a full fledged supporter of cooked english/korean rom for the X1

Hi , you all are wise people and we will always expect some minor errors here and their I noticed most of it not meant to be, so the benefits will be for the majority.
this is an encyclopedia thread , it is try and error , and all of our chiefs stated clearly and always ( THE ROM ARE BETA OR EXPREMENTAL ROM ).
We majority understand this.
So please do not eliminate your experiences angels to flow above our souls.
Thank you in advance for reconsidering.

I sooo don't know what that means, but anyway, this thread is a couple months old.
Rats2007: I'm not the one making ROMs. I was asking for someone to make one. Seems you misunderstood. There's a forum out there that contains a link to a working ROM, phone is all in English but works 100% with Korean telecom, + supports korean and english sms. Just do a search, shouldn't be too hard to find. (sorry I can't link you myself, a tad bit busy at the moment)

Hi,
I am wanting a very simple custom rom but I am not sure how to "cook" one.
I've read the tutorials, etc.. but I'm still very confused.
I will try to get a hang of it, so I can make a truly customied Rom, but in a mean while can someone be kind enough to make me a basic custom ROM?
All I need/want is a UK ROM (or any english based rom) with Korean fonts, Korean Keyboard, Korean Thumb keyboard, Powerdic (All theses are pre-included in SKTELCOM ROM).
Korean Thumb Keyboard is like the one in HTC devices where you can type letters with onscreen number pad (I believe it's called "SKY II" in the Korean ROM)
Basically, I need an English ROM with full Korean Support. (powerdic is a dictionary program included in Korean ROM)
I could install softwares to my X1 with English ROM to get a similar result, and I tried but the result wasn't perfect - I was not able to read at some conditions and not able to write sometimes as well)
Can anyone PLEASE be kind enough to make one for me?
I hope it won't take that long..
Thanks for looking.
no one will do it for free. you should consider giving some incentives, otherwise everyones' gonna ignore you

just use it

If I get a chance later I will
But I can't promise anything, it'll depend on how my time pans out.
You should try to cook it yourself? Maybe instead, ask for like a "How To Cook Basic Rom" guide or something. Just like being able to take someones rom and maybe tweak it a bit to your own liking? Less hassle for them and puts more control into your own hands.

I've actually read some tutorials and guides but could not fully understand.

First of all, I didn't know what folders had what, and did not configure how to mix components.

Thanks a lot!
I'll try to figure something out in a mean while..
Hope I can find some who did something similar already..
Most audience in here are English user. For this kind of language specific request, normally you should look for forums in yr language community. I am not sure about Korean, but I know there's a lot of those forums for Chinese and Russian (in fact, many of them are really hard-core hacker).
The reason I need help from ENG speaking people is that I live in Canada and I use my phone in this country.
Sadly, Korea uses a bit different structure for mobile phones and there are a few things that work differently - for example, SMS feature is a lot different.
Since I am a Korean-Canadian, I use Korean language as well.
Only thing I need is Korean language input/output, and possibly ABC tabs in contact list converted in Korean Language - I think I can find a way for this by modifying some registries.
If someone can at least make Packages from SKTELCOM ROM, then I guess I can finish the rest.
I tried extracting and got stuck in making them into packages..
Plus, I don't know where the language related files are usually located from the extracted stuff..

Well I've just cooked you one, in fact two, but it's not booting. I'll try again tomorrow.
If you use evrius ultilanguage GUI rom kitchen, it'll extract the rom from nbh and make it into packages, it's all pretty easy to do. Then do the same with the UK (or NA) one and combine, but it's not happened with me tonight.
Language files are all those in 412 folders.
WOW, Thanks so much for trying that for me.
I will also try to make something out of it with the info you gave me.
Thanks

hi fards, just curious if you might have been successful in the cooked rom dahanist was looking for. I'm in the same situation, except I live in korea and cant really take advantage of the phone with a full korean OS, so i want to install an English OS but keep all the korean compatibility for sms, input, etc. Figured this might do the trick. Any luck yet?
By the way, there's a seperate thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=500446) where several people in my position are willing to pay money for a good cooked English ROM with korean language support, how's that for incentive?
got it
