Just uploaded ROM version, how to change buttons? - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Just loaded up the xda-developers own ROM version for my xda1. Fantastic piece of kit, very happy with it and i will definatley contribute to the sites coffers.
Just one small problem...
How do i move the applications logo's from the today screen? Small thing i know, but i have a cool screensaver and the 40 logo's completley ruin it. Any ideas?

Just disable the today plugin....
Stefan

Thanks Stefan
Thanks, in hindsight that was a bit obvious... to be fair though, im still working out how to use the thing!
Thanks, Matt

Unhide/Unlocking Universal Ext Rom ??

Hi
On my BA there were some tools to do this. I am assuming that they have not yet been created for the universal yet (unless I am missing something?)
I tried the BA ones (nothing to loose), to no avail.
On my BA, I always used to cherry pick what I wanted from the extended rom post install.
Nigel
currently you can't unlock the extended rom, but with totakcommander you can type /Extended_Rom on the commandline and you'll see the content of the folder. You can start the .cab files from there or copy them to the SD card.
You can't copy anything back to the extended rom.
Wolfgang
Cheers Wolfgang!
Total Commander can be found here:

Yeah... Dopod from Michael (mwang) arrived today as well, but they want me to pay the custom fee... oh well...
So it is now blocked at the post office and i have to give them proof of it's price.. hmm.... or something like that...
buzz
Yaeh, i know the feeling about customs charges, i bought a Top-Gun style leather jacket from the US and it cost me an extra 54 quid on import tax and VAT
Anyway, you'll love the universal, it is so much better than the old xda ii, even Mel (the missus) likes it.....
Speak to ya soon. if you want me to test anything for ya, as always, no problems....

I've had that before, and not far from you either
I buy a lot of stuff from eBay, but all the customs crap (not just the fees, but all the paperwork and delays) made me limit most of my purchases to the EU. I still get stuff from the US, and the far east sometimes, but mostly just items with small (declared) value, that can slip through.
There I come to my point: I see that you have to provide a proof of the price like I had to. Since I had a private ebay purchase, I could only print the receipt from the website. As most of the gadgets I got were very uncommon, a few times I took the liberty and changed some numbers on the receipt. Nothing outrageous, of course, but still. The cumulative 8% import duty +25% VAT pissed me off a lot...
You might want to consider this if they ask for half your kingdom...

VGA-out and presentation solution?

Hi folks:
Is there a way to make presentations to a VGA projector out of the Universal? I remember Margi used to make an SD-based "presenter-to-go" and that has been discontinued. Are there any other options?
Thanks in advance.
Fernando
any updates??
Hi folks: I posted this some months back. I was curious if there were any updates on this front, i.e., is there a way to VGA-out of a JASJAR?
Thanks.
I think none!
Hello all: Has anyone been able to VGA-out of a Universal? It seems like such a pity that this is not available.
Finally, some hope!!!

And what do you want to project from this, the 5MB movie, stored inside the Universal ?
This card does not hold any data .....

Dimensions are right, not a pretty solution but a functional one. its wider then needed for exec, but the right height.

Great Man! This is very exciting. I haven't been this excited since WM6 Release. Looks like all the cooks will be up late tonight! Wish I could contribute in some way, but I have never been good in the kitchen and I don't have a blue angel.
Keep up the great work Super Cooks.
I also flashed the wrong rom >___>
Thanks for all your hard work to try and bring it to us guys... I'll throw in some cash to your donation boxes if you get WM6.5 workin on Hermes

Rats! My mint condition Blue Angel with original ROM still in place is 260 miles away.
...In fact, this has got me thinking about the BA again. If only I could hard-wire a GPS receiver to it somehow (so I wouldn't have to mess about with Bluetooth and two car-chargers) my Kaiser wouldn't be on TomTom duties - the BA's mahoosive screen would be so much nicer
As soon as I'm within arms length of my BA I'll try the flash...

Mines on its last legs, backup battery is 100% dead, and the screen only works badly, but even then the finger scrolling works really well.
I cant get IE8 working, as It wont sync with my computer to put the files on.
the screen is so ugly compared to my Hermes though

I have problem with my Dell Axim x51v

When I both it on ebay.com it camed with totaly messed up screen. Then the guy sent me a new one. I changed it and i did a calibration. now it is precise but only when i tap very hard. If I tap soft then its rather to tap on some other icon. I can hardly use my screen keyboard because it is frustrating to miss every secound letter. This digitizer(touchscreen) that he sent me, is it possible that it is harder then it should be? Maybe is some cheap one?
I'm really not in to this stuff but I would like to know what to do. Should I buy a new digitizer and change it, or I can somehow make this one to work correctly. Anyone who can help me thank you.

Uni hinge pieces

Hey all.
Just thought I'd post my experience here.
After owning my uni for a few years, I thought it was about time to give it a make over.
My main annoyance was the hinge pieces / spine where the paint had chipped off. I tried touch up pen........ looked worse.
Googled and ebayed but all I could find was housings only.
Eventually I just took the paint off and, after several applications of Autosol.....WOW! Shines like a mirror! I'm shocked that no one i here has tried this.
Next task is to use the old housing's exterior metal branding as a template and put a chrome piece in the new cover (on the spv m5000 housing)
I'll post some pics as it progresses.
please do, sounds great. what is Autosol?
That sounds interesting! Can't wait for results. Please keep us posted.
That sounds interesting! Can't wait for results. Please keep us posted.
Autosol is metal polish in a tube. Really good stuff.
I'm sending the phone of for the 128mb upgrade before renewing / modding the housing.
Decided on aluminium for the outer branding and found a guy to machine it.
Any of you guys know if you can get silver buttons (camera, volume etc) for the uni or will I have to get them plated?
I too can personally vouch for how good Autosol is ;-) its about £5 or so from Halfords iirc
BTW karl where have you sent your phone off to to get the 128mb upgrade done? And for how much can i ask?
Cheers
I've been contacting a guy called Joe at retronix uk ltd.
Very helpful he's been.
He quoted £80.00 to do it. They want the entire phone (not just the board) and the charger. They also want a 128mb rom loaded on so they can test it once it's upgraded.
Payment is going to be by debit card.
Hope that's enough info for you.
I dont suppose anyone has an mda pro keyboard and toggle button (one next to the screen) spare / for sale?
Ordered the housing of fleebay but without the above.
Cheers all

I'm interested in the upgrade, and would like to know something more about the shipping options... do I have to contact them directly or PM you, or whatever?
regards
I think it's better to contact directly.
No harm in it.
(sorry for the little OT)
I'm in contact with the Italian partner of Retronix, trying to get an affordable price to get the upgrade done. If someone else from Italy is interested can contact me, chances are that we can get discounts for quantity...
sorry again for the OT,
cheers to all
Has anyone actually used Retronix Uk yet?
How did you get on?
Mav
Tried the chrome thing on da hinges a year away. the main problem is dat it needs attention every month. mine got yellowish in a month. also try touchin the hinges while the phone is on charge. ull feel electrified a bit...lolzzz.
