Got my new English MDA PRo ... - JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading

... but want to make some changes. Is someone who nows how to:
*remove the T-Mobile coloured dialer pad (phone pad) and changes the colours back to the original Windows Mobile colours
*remove the T-Mobile logo and put back the normal operator name. I am going to have the SIM unlocked, but he point is that even if I use Vodafone the operator name is the T-Mobile logo
If the above can be solved by not installing a part of the extended rom (but I do ot know what part), than please advise me. Maybe I have to change to the Qtek ROM when available. Can I just delete the extended ROM in WM5?

Hoogerhuis,
1: Hard reset your MDA Pro, reset it when it says that it starts installing the additional applications
2: Download the following file ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/mda_pro_eng_nl_extrom.zip, copy the contents to an SD card, and on your MDA PRO install all the cabs *except* TMO_NL_UI_0727_signed.CAB which contains the User Interface for T-Mobile.
** Do not launch the exe files or autorun.exe, or it will install everything out of the extended rom.

Actually I was wrong about the file that does the T-Mobile dialer skin etc. The file that should not be installed manually is:
Enable_VT_RTPlugin_0727_2_signed.CAB,
(I justed tested and confirmed that myself

Wiz, many thanks. I indeed tested it myself also and saw which one was the problem. You could use the i-Mate jasjar version of that file, although I don't know what that file does besides changing the dialer skin.
Are you also Wiz at PocketPC-club.nl (now PocketInfo.nl)?

No, installing the Jasjar equivalent will not set it back to default. The Jasjar uses the standard WM5 dialer skin and therefore does nto need to customize it.
The Jasjar file only contains the Ringtone Player plugin, the T-Mobile one contains the Ringtone Player plugin + the TMO Dialer skin

I now have an internally unbranded MDA PRO. The only thing is that I miss the IntelliDialer and can not access the smartdialing options. What is the trick here ...

yeehaa! that's exactly what i was looking for!
This thread made me donate since i was looking for exactly this solution for so long!
I've already tried it and it works perfect.
now the only thing i still need is a today & dialer Theme (for the universal) that rocks (just like the halo theme - does anybody know where to get it?)

How did you get the MDA pro English? I just called them and they can't even say exactly when it will be available to buy here.
Cheers,
Joe

Hi guys,
next time: to remove dialer pads from brands: just change your register! or get some advancedconfig freeware. all done in a jiffy.
Greetings from the fats lane
C.

I just installed the customised dial pad .CAB and it looked rather lovely...
As far as the rest - plenty of into in these forums, just have a good search.

Itellipad & Intellidial available?? UPDATE: iMate versio

I read in an article on ppcw.net that the XDAIIi (yes 'i') has so called Itellipad and Intellidial.
Both techniques offer a better useable input manner (as compared to a qwerty stylus keyboard) especially for on-the-road-use: big buttons with the same functioning as keys on a regular mobile phone.
I know there is a tool called 'blimkeys' that has about this functionality, but apparently Microsoft (or O2) has put it into a new device as standard s/w.
Has anyone seen a ROM file that has Intellipad / Intellidial in it?
If so: PLZ post it here!!!
I would like to see if it would be possible to implemetn on a Himalaya.
edit: See my post from 14-12 in which I uploaded the iMate JAM versions
see this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=13066&highlight=
works on my XDAII and MDAIII in English, it must use default dictionary.
Do you mean you simply installed the cab and then was able to continue using an English language dialer?
That would be great.
Not the dialer - haven't seen a cab for that- but the T9 works great!
I dont get it:
The Intellipad stuff (T9 is just a feature of that) seems to be integrated with the dialer. Fro what I understand now is that IntelliPad and InterlliDialer are two different apps . . .
Is the IntelliPad from T9.cab English or German language?
And how about the IntelliPad/T9 colours (especially the Intellipad specific button-colours), are they T-Mobile pinkish or default/O2 blue?
Could you also post the contents of the following registry branch (I noted the defaults):
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\IntelliPad]
"Languages"=dword:00000001
"PopupMenu"=dword:00000001
"DockList"=dword:00000000
"OneSymbol"=dword:00000001
"AddSpace"=dword:00000001
"PlaySound"=dword:00000001
"HelpFile"="IntelliPad-1.0-(German).htm"
"ResourceFile"="IntelliPadRCGerman.dll"
There is no dialer, just T9 sip for typing SMS or using in any program. So the Intelidialer must be a separate app.
The colours are T-Mobile default pinkish (yuk) and all the registry settings are as you posted. It must use the default dictionary because although it says that it's German it is suggesting English words.
Thanks, thats what i thought.
Guess we have to wait for Non-T-Mobile versions of the device to come out before we can use a non-pinkish SIP.
From what I read on ppc-welt.info I am quite sure the dialer is in the ExtROM of the Magician too as 'Intellidialer.cab' (original name :wink: )
Now If someone could post that cab!
That would be great.
IntelliDialer
and remeber... this cab is for test purposes only...
Hey anyone out there get the intellidialer to work on xda2?don't seems to be working.
The dialer seems to identify a Himalaya and thus showing only the 'old' dialer (well, it is a different T-Mobile one, but even more awful than the original)
Will the IntelliDialer works on an I-Mate PDA2K?
Have a try!
Maybe it only works on Magician, maybe it just needs WM2003SE (like Blue Angel)
Plz post the results
I didn't work out for me.
The only thing it did on my I-Mate PDA2K was changing the dialskin to that ugly pink T Mobile dialer
Tried Intellidialer on English MDAIII - works fine, but in German, still I can see my contacts and dial with one hand!
IntelliDialer
With regards to the IntelliDialer does anybody know does the Magician run on WM2003SE?
And if so does WM2003SE integrates with .NET Framework?
I suspect we have to install .NET to get this baby working.
yes, the magician runs on WM2003SE, but apparently the program somehow is tied up with the dialer, since I'm running .net framework and It still doesn't work.
Oops

You are right and I was wrong Bro.
Went over the CABs and it adds up.
Since Intellidialer can de transferred succesfully to other devices based on certain pre-requisites (below one user managed to get it to work on a MDAII onother did not succeed on pda2k) we need to find out WHAT pre-requisites (hopefully its not SE dependent).
Now If both xda-rocks and VW_ELM could publish their config . . .
Intellidialer appears to be reliant on WM2003SE.
It was suggested on ppc-welt.info forums that maybe the cprog.exe version could make the difference.
Hence what we need is:
English Intellidialer.cab
English WM2003SE cprog.exe
(ans still off course an english Intellipad )

how do I get rid of the T-Mobile Branding on MDA Pro?

I have bought the MDA Pro from T-Mobile. They have changed the phone-interface to a pretty ugly pink-gray branded t-mobile interface.
is there a chance to get rid of this without unlocking the phone?
does it vanisch by unlocking it?
any clue?
thanks!
dont know tmobile but if it's a today theme then you can just change it in system->today
and not the only thing unlock does is make it possible for people to use any sim in their phone unlocking dont change installed programs or settings
i have tried that already, but it seems as if the phone skin is locked by t-mobile somehow. i have already tried to upload different skins, but it always remains the same.
I suggest the phone skin is part of the t-mobile branding an can only be removed by unlocking the phone...
or by replacing it manually, but i have no clue how to do that.
if it's only the phone skin and not the pda skin then use the skin chooser here
http://www.yorch.net/apps.htm
if it's the whole pda then you can
1 remove the today items from tmobile
in the 2th tab in system today items
2 remove any tmobile ref from the \windows\startup dir
Hi !
Can you please tell me if the size of the "Z" key is the same as the "Y" key. I want a german version but i want to switch the letters afterwards.
Thanks.
to decebal:
yes the buttons have the same size.
to Rudegar:
I have already tried to change the skin with skin chooser 7 and
some other programs (have forgotten their names) but as i I "activate" or "applie" the new skin it always shows the phone with its old t-mobile skin. Nothing happens....
It is also impossible to remove the today theme, because the delete button is not clickable and i cannot finde the *.tsk file anywhere.
there is also no startup.dir or any file/folder that sounds like im on the right way.
At least I have now found (i think so) some of the *.pngs containig the button grafics. i will try to replace them with my own buttons...
They are in the windows folder called indialer_xxx
(e.g.: indialer_ps.png)
If there are any better suggestions i am very happy, otherwise i will have to change each button by hand (sounds a bit cheesy)
we will see if that may work.
hehe...should have thought about that before....the phone images are *.bmps, so i was able to change them manually with photoshop, but i can't upload them because the files are protected (or still in use by the phone in background). so now I have very cool buttons, but the only thing I can do with them is pin them on my wall
so there must be another more professional way, but I have no idea wich.
maybe you have some suggestions...
sometimes you need to softreset your phone after having used the skinchooser program maybe that helps
odd if you dont have a dir in the windows dir called startup
all pocketpc's i've seen have that
guess you could also unlock and unhide the external rom and remove the tmobile stuff you dont want
i've used that skin chooser device on both 2002 and 2003 but non of the later versions...
i would load another rom in it
I would if I could find out how this works on the new windows mobile 5.0...
if you know where I could find some reference for it it I would be greatful.
maybe its just to early to ask for such things, in a few month there will be lots of stuff in the net.
patience was never my strong side though.
how what works on 2005 ?
phone skin choosing ?
buzzdev.net is a good place to check out if you want 2005
if you install 2005 you will not see special odd tmobile colouring anymore

New Universal ROM from i-mate - Experiences

After some tricks at another thread, succeded to unlock Extended ROM.
However, can't find there the usuall 'Config.txt'. Is it normal? Any clue?
the wm5 extended rom's do not seem to use a config.txt file. They use the autorun and setup files. If you add something to the extended rom, put Default_ infront of the file name.
But the process I prefer; is to use an old autorun and config.txt file. I think you can find an example in the forum of BTT's extended rom under a thread called my extended rom. Or look on the xda ftp site.
The old way still works great. I also use the config.txt to copy some sounds and files to the windows directory from my sdcard during reset.
But back to the title of your thread:
I am finding that the new rom is faster and more stable. Radio 1.09.00 seems better. IE and gprs seems a lot faster. Of course, I only kept 4 of the files from the Extended rom. Lots of the cabs in the extended rom add bloat and/or remove/modify settings that I did not want. Push email seems to work, not sure I like the new comm manager. Really don''t like that I can not start the comm manager from keyboard after the rom upgrade. But overall its an improvement.
I wonder how different the official release from I-mate will be from this test version?
Please help I am always getting CONNECTION ERROR
The Update software starts fine, nonetheless after the screen where it shows the CURRENT and FUTURE ROM version, it is stuck
At least Extended ROM 1.13.151 WWE from Qtek9000, still uses Config.txt method.
Just Autorun.exe (fileversion 4.15.0.0) is present, and it seems equivalent to the Setup.exe (fileversion 4.16.0.0) on the new i-mate Rom. The Autorun.exe is much smaller and from a different origin.
Maybe this difference relates to, how Qtek and i-mate aproach the subject.
Another topic are my fellings/experiences with this new i-mate ROM, that I'd like to share with you guys.
ROM Version: 1.30.68 WWE
Errors or Lack of implementation
Still not possible to rotate Camera (landscape / portrait).
Universal backlight button still without effect.
Battery indicator replaced the clock on title bar. It is possible to re-activate the clock at settings (Clock & Alarms) to display in all programs, but however it does not work when at Today screen. :-(
Device Lock plugin is a nice feature, however the ability to make a few settings would be very welcomed. For instance 'Lock/Do no lock' buttons.
Despite it is possible to answer a call from BT headset, when device is locked, it is frustrating not being possible to initiate a call from BT headset ('Voice Speed Dial' not called). However it is possible to repeat last number called/dialed.
'Press' and 'Press&Hold' button associations (e.g. As assigned with PowerButtons from OmegaOne Battery Pack Pro), get easly misleaded. It seems internal timers are not workig properly.
My wishes
MS BT stack to implement sending extra info to 'Caller ID' enabled BT headsets. So they can show Contact name instead of caller number only.
Ability to tap handsfree icon at phone app, to toggle handsfree profile, instead of doing it through the menu (old 'profile' today plugin from WM2003, would be nice too).
Somehow allow Activesync to store Contacts PPC specific information, like associated ringtones (ringtone name should be enough) on PC Outlook Contacts. So the information could be later restored if needed, by synching.
Most of them seem to be MS issues, and nothig to do with HTC, Qtek, i-mate, etc...
Except for the first two, that I believe to be HTC issues in fact.

I cant Unlock the ExtROM, how did you do that?
Hope you back soon!
couldnt get MMS or a pop 3 to work.
WMP10 still plays 320/240 and fails to enlarge
Fn -> doesnt work....
of course the battery / clock on the today is one big screw up, but dont think this is an imate issue, more a MS issue
The new Comm Manager requires a full end task from task manager, not a simple stop. there is no help with Comm Manager, and no "intuitive" understanding as to what the other icons do.
No real additional functionality to the device overall in my view.
But much faster and who can therefore complain about the other stuff....
Actually, I think the Battery/Taskbar problem is an I-mate issue. NOT M$!!
o2 did that on their Blueangel. You have to remove the .dll the i-mate cab adds (by preventing it from installing in first place?) and edit registry to show the clock again
The comm manager is very self explanatory, so I have no idea what you are on about
I agree it has a few other problems, but at least the Uni is now a speedy lil devil and not sluggish

And other minor problem...
I-MATE?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!? :twisted:
As anyone noticed pocket outlook now checks you email even when you leave it on a sms or mms account! No more worrying about changing the thing back to email after every text message! nice!
I wouldn't know which .dll it is unless I got a hold of the CAB file from the extended ROM. With o2 it was called batteryinfo.dll and was in the \Windows folder, but also had a few Registry entries to go with it. To add the Time in the taskbar have a look at the following registry entry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell
"TBOpt"=hex:12,00,00,00
Change 2 as follows:
0:blank, 1:time only, 2:date only, 3:date & time
However, I think this will only work once you remove the i-mate battery add-in.
Could you give me a complete Registry Dump of your Device? That way I may find the registry entry that causes the battery to be shown.
Thanks
The battery icon is a MS issue. I have nothing from the extended ROM installed and still have the battery icon. Don't waste your time looking for a fix in the extended ROM. There must be some registry setting that needs to be changed. I'm still looking too....
For those who can't unlock Extended ROM, read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=42812&highlight=
Can't say exactly which sequence of actions made it possible, but it is working stable!
The main issue seems to be that Extended ROM folder, should have a name different of 'Extended_ROM' on registry.
I've used:
- 'Extended ROM' first and it didn't work
- than 'ExtROM' it worked
- and now 'Extended ROM' again. It's working!
At the it is even not needed to run the CAB to unlock. The registry tweaks are enough. Strange....

I'd be looking in the registry if someone gave me a dump of the registry like I asked. It is a I-mate Issue, because the Today plugin is not made by M$?
Here you have my registry dump.
Changing
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell
"TBOpt"
to 3 for example, displays time&date, but overwritting battery icon.
Defenitely it is needed to disable battery icon on title bar, and force the time to display also when on Today screen.
My most new annoying experience...
Everytime I delete some files from ExtROM that I don't want to install at hardreset, they reappear again after a softreset.
Even powering the device down, and waitting more than 10secs, as seral times suggested in this forum.
Maybe a silly question, but any ideas to overcome this?

Orange Homescreen on non orange phone? (customization)

hello to all
I installed Orange Homescreen on my WM5 blue-angel.
It it by far the cleanest plug-in I've ever used! Two problems though:
1. The URLs seem to be hard coded - anyway of changing that?
2. On the contacts "tab" there is an option for speed dial, but it generates an error when I try to use it - is there some other CAB I need to install?
Thank you!
Hi AdmiralAK,
I love the Orange today plugin too, but have had a lot of trouble installing it on the other Rom's for my Universal. Can you tell which files you used to install it :?:
As for the problems your having:
1. The URL's can be changed by editing the Full_one.xml file.
But your still limited to four.
2. In the Orange Rom, some of the files have a lower case t prefix.
Try changing renaming your speed dial executable. It might work :wink:
Thanks!
I downloaded the homescreen cab from somewhere on this board (this was a few days ago so I am not completely sure). I found two versions. One was in the ftp://xda-developers.com/Universal/Extended_ROMs/Orange Extended ROM/
(this one I did not install because I had the otherone already installed)
(ok after a little looking I found it)
I am actually using the Orange Homescreen from the Orange SPV M3100 (hermes device) - this is the one that is installed on my Blue angel and it works without a problem. --> I am attaching it.
(I apologize to the forum for postnig the same file again - I cannot find the link to it)
----
As for the speed dialer - I don't think I have the application installed on my blue angel (I am using the 1.3beta rom from HELMI and I don't seem to be able to find it) in my device - any idea where to get it?
Also, is the XML file that I need to edit in the windows/ directory?
Thanks
google tells me that the full_one.xml file is in my windows directory...but I dont see it :-/
The CAB from the Orange Ext ROM is just the reg settings, its no good without the files from the Orange ROM.
I'll try the file you posted this weekend [if I get the chance] :?
Yes, the XML file is in the Windows folder.
It works inconjuction with the HomeScreen.dll, with some icons stored in contactsico.dll.
I've added these files and the prefixed t files from the Windows folder of my Universal, I hope they're useful.
Have you tried the file ?
Hmm.. performing back up now.. and going to try it out. Hope it is easy to uninstall.
[UPDATE]
Ok, tested out the plugin. It is a nice plugin. Make your phone more like a phone than a PDA. It gives you one hand operation by using the direction buttons, making calls and stuff. However, since it will disable all other plugins, I won't recommend others whom uses Today calendar plugins such as Pocket Breeze, TodayAgenda, TodayPlus, etc.. to use this orange plugin. Uninstall is easy.
Screen shot of it here http://www.coolsmartphone.com/article569.html
under the section `INSIDE`. It is the same for smart phone and pda phone. You will see all the options available. And the 'Today' option actually sends you to the (built in) Calendar day view.
Hi, have you used the cab file and zip file above ?
Ok, I tried the plugin posted here by AdmiralAK, on my Universal.
First thing I noticed was it actually ran on the O2 ROM.
Second thing was how small the icons are compared to the plguin built into the Orange Universal ROM.
But I guess that makes sence as the screens are very different sizes. More importantly must of the plugin works fine.
I'm sure a little editing would probably have it all working.
What I did notice is its totally different to the Universal plugin, none of the files i've edited to get the universal version working the way I want it to, exist in this version. Hence the Full_one.xml, t* and .bmh files are not in the Windows folder.
I've gone back to the Orange ROM, as I have it running the way I want and the bigger icons are easier to use on the Universal. But i'll be keeping this version as I may get a TyTn next year.
Cool program. But too bad, limited customizable.
Hi people,
Great software, I was looking to try this on my MDA Vario. Too bad of it's limitations. Good to try out and see how it works.
Though I was thinking of visually designing a kind of similar application and find some great developers on this site to help me create it. Of course if anyone is interested in this kind of functionality.
Anyone already interested? let me know. i hope to have some draft ideas on here in the form of screenshots as soon as possible. but now it's diner time see ya.
Cheers,
Shah.
I have tried editing the 'full_one.xml' file, then soft reset....however it hasn't changed anything...
did i miss something?
Hi guy,
I've tried to resize the icon of plug-in and it's ok in portrait but no in landscape, I think it's a registry problem for landscape.
I'd like to use the plug-in on no orange rom.
I'll find the way to get more than 4 custom option but i get without icon.
The file full_one.xml is linked with other file of the orange rom so I think that's one problem.
@Shah2,
I'd be interested in a plugin like this, that has a few more options [see below] and works on all ROM's.
I have no programing skills or abilities, but i'd help out where I can. :wink:
@minty1978,
The Full_one.xml file only lets you edit the Labels and the URL's in the plugin.
@filippodisvevia,
I'd like to use the plug-in on a none Orange ROM too.
Then I wouldn't have to kepp hiding my Universal from the IT guys at work. :lol:
The 3 things I'd like to change on the plugin are:
1. Have more than 5 URL's in the Web section.
2. Have more than 4 programs in the Launch section.
3. Have all seven sections appear on the screen [at least in portrate mode][/i]
I'm a littlebit busy but I want resolve this match.
Stay tuned
Concept Orange Homescreen Pimped Beta 0.1
Hi people,
I told ya that I was interested in making the Orange Homescreen even better than it is at the moment.
THESE ARE PURELY PHOTOSHOP MOCKUPS!
Image number 1 shows the use of today plugin as we know them. It's just to give an example. All the other screens speak for themselves.
If anyone has his/her own ideas please share them in this thread. I would also like to draw the attention of developers who might be interested in creating this for real, and not just some photoshop images, please let me know.
Cheers,
Shah
Hi Shah,
Thats way more complex, than I was looking for. :shock:
But, If this was to be built as a new plugin, hopefully it could be scalable, using a .ini or .xml file. Like the real Orange plugin does. 8)
The only I don't really like, is the other plugins showing as in pic.1.
I have other plugins switched on while i'm at work, and the Orange one at night. I find the empty desktop more relaxing. :wink:

Hi ZaForD
The complexity is actually quite limited. Because if you use the plugin most of the options are the same. Most of the items are just additions to the rest of the plugin.
And for the pic 1. I can image it's not that nice. But with input we can work on making it more general so that people will like it.
Personally I would like to have the standaard Today screen plugins visible because they are still usefull.
It's also a possibility that all the items are configerable to meet users needs. For example standaard options like the original homescreen for users that want the basic functionalities, and advanced options for users who want more options. so that every page is user configerable.
Anything is possible in Photoshop haha. but seriously if there are any developers who are interested please leave a note.
Cheers,
Shah
I stopped using the plugin - no matter how much I liked it - because it did not show me tasks tat need to be done.
I would be interested in something more complex than it is now (at least show me my tasks) but maybe not as complex as the mockups. scalability would be cool
What do you think he is trying to do?

I have a Prophet and tested the plugin, however there are some things that I can't edit (cause I don't have an Orange ROM)...

Calculator???

Hi,
I have the T-mobile MDA Compact III, the Dutch version, with wifi and stuff. I also have a Qtek S200 and the first thing i noticed is that the Compact III has no calculator! This may seem like a small thing, but it bugs me as i got used to using it alot with the S200...
Any plugin or whatever to get a calculator??
Oh and while i'm asking, is there a way to change those freaky pink white colors of the phone pad? I can change theme in the notmal menus but the phone pad always stays with the T-mobile color scheme... any suggestions are welcome!
Thanks,
Rudy
Hmm... interesting. Anyway, there are tons of better calculator out there. I think the.. Omega(?) has a free calculator software.. and if you do a search on www.freewareppc.com, they ought to have a few .. much advance ones too.
Tons of phonepad available in this forum with iPhone wannabe to.. Vista look-alike. Easiest way to get rid of T-mobile stuff is to go Wiki (under WM5 tweak) to get rid of it and use the default.
Had the same problem.
There IS an calculator, only theres no shortcut made by TM
In the folder WINDOWS\calc.exe
there u got to be. ive made an shortcut to it with SPB Pocket plus.
and for the ugly t-mobile color, just install an skin for it. and do a soft reset.
excuse my bad english
Try tapping Start/ Organiser a new window will open desplaying icons for Claculator, Calendar, Notes and Tasks - Strange place to bury the calculator but it is there - Mike
when installing a skin for the phone pad, does it need to be unlocked first or something... and kindof a noob question, but will i lose my warranty?? Where can I download like legal themes for the PDA??
BTW, i found the calc just where you said it would be mike, And i linked it to my right software button!
Forget the CALC from Windows. Try searching for eval. Nice and free Calculator...
