Hi guys,
I am currently using the orange spv m500, I upgraded radio rom to 1.13 and the last orange update for the 1.12 rom.
What will happen if I choose a rom from another operator (e.g. tmob)? How do I get the setttings from my current provider back (GPRS, MMS) ? (only settings! not interested in all the programs, I will reinstall all necessary software manually; it's still windows :? )
Will there be any software installed from the rom of another operator? if so, will this prevent to set my orange settings back?
Thanks!
By the way, why are there barely any custom orange roms?
No problem at all, just backup your current rom. Flash with the new rom, prevent ext-rom from starting or go directly for BIG Storage & apply the setting cabs for gprs etc.
Cheers, M
Ps. Dutch how to's are available.
which cabs from external storage
great, big storage it probably is! Hoping the new rom will also work with the extended bluetooth stack from this forum.
besides that, it gives me the opportunity to get rid of the horrible fonix voice dailing app.....completely useless with a long contact list....
fonix voice dail: "would you like to update your contacts?" NO! "please speak more clearly"...NOOOOOOO! (....people in the bus staring at you.... :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: )
anyway, does anyone know which cabs from the external storage are absolutely necessary for orange?
The one thing you really need is the Orange network settings. Get a copy of WinCE CabManager (>10 trial executions) to view what's inside your Orange cabfiles. Usually the name says it all. Then after an upgrade you can easily decide what to load & what not.
Besides on BIG Storage a hard-reset its all it takes to get rid of an unwanted Orange program. So make a list of things you wanna keep, execute the ext-rom cabs on look what it gives you. Gambled wrong? Hard-reset & start again, doesn't take so much time as long as you don't install other third-party apps during this process.

Hey All, I'm very excited here , my new 8125 will be in my hands Wednesday. The first thing I would like to find is a weather program to install. I use xWeather on my Treo 650, it gives me nice radar views. I would love to have something like that for my 8125. I wonder, can I try loading the Treo 650 program on the 8125 or is that a No No. So ware do I go to find down loadable programs for my 8125. I go to mytreo.net for tons of free stuff and trial programs for the 650, is there a place like that to go for my new 8125? Watch ya say guys? Thanks...
As far as Weather Programs -- there's WeatherPanel by Marsware, Spb Weather, and Sbsh Pocket Weather that I'm aware of.
As far as other apps -- go to Handango, Pocketgear, Freewareppc, or pocketpcfreewares. Or, just do a google search for "PPC APPS".
Another suggestion is to mosey over to the Cingular Customer Forums and do a forum search for "8125 apps" to see what kinds of programs some of us are running on our 8125's.
Thanks newbie2 for all the info. I went to all that you mentioned and did the google search and found lots more; way cool ! I like very much the Marsware WeatherPanel also, I will put that in the new 8125 first thing and for 12 bucks I will buy it also. I sure hope my new 8125 comes with a data transfer cable or I will be bummed out big tme. LOL

It comes with the USB sync cable to connect to your computer to sync AND for downloads -- so, you're all set!!
Thanks for the info on what the unit comes with, that's a relief!! I set up folders and book marks for all this new stuff so I'm all ready. I been waiting for Fed-X, my package is out for delivery. I down loaded Weatherpanel and am ready to install that also. I'm used to getting stuff for my Treo 650 and having to install .prc files for programs. It was interesting to see that the weatherpanel has a .exe extension and it seems as though programs for the 8125 mda set up as if you are doing regular computer installs; hence the name Pocket PC. This is neet stuff... Now ware is that truck..........
New 8125 came in yesterday, I am loving it. I stayed up late to get it set up the way I want and all is fine, everything from syncing to E-Mail to Wifi is all done. My 1Gb sd card will arrive Friday then I will install Weatherpanel, with that install I guess I just use the explore from the hot sync manager and put the program in a folder and just double click the .exe file. I'm really not sure how to install programs yet to the phone, any info would be great. I use 4 E-Mail addresses and having to switch between each one to check them all is a pain. With my Treo 650 I used Snapper Mail and it checked all accounts one after another automaticaly. Is there an E-Mail program for my 8125 that will work the way Snapper Mail does? I looked briefly for Snapper Mail for Pocket PC's but still no luck. Again any info is appreciated. Thanks All....
For an .exe install, you want to install from the desktop through ActiveSync. Just double-click the program's install icon -- the installation will start on your desktop and go through the ActiveSync connection to install to your phone.
To install a .cab file, drag and drop ( or copy and paste) to your phone through Active Sync ( I ususally put .cab files onto the SD card). Then just navigate to it on the phone through File Explorer, tap on the file and it will begin the install process.
If your SD card is in your phone, you'll be asked at the beginning of the install process whether you want the program installed to the device or storage card. Just make your choice, click "install" and the installer will do the rest.
Sorry -- don't know about any programs for multiple email accounts. It's all I can do to keep up with just ONE!!
yes you can run Palm OS 5.2 (or older) on your PPC!
Just visit http://styletap.crmhelp.net/?_a=knowledgebase&_j=questiondetails&_i=5
but know that is not freeware. But I still prefer WM5 apps
I just upgrade with the last AKU3.50 with HimaUpgradeUt_noID.exe and now i cannont synch but i can install aps...
By the way i use DOC tools to upgrade the storage to 30 Mb
If anyone have an idea, let me know
Thx
Whats your activesync version?
I'm on 4.5 beta
an di got the error => Support code 80070057
I try :
- changing my ROM => nothing
- changing my Radio => nothing
So actually i'm under AKU 3.50a.32 WWE with Radio 1.19 and 30 Mb of storage (using DOC tool).
Could I have done something wih the Disc On Chip ?
NB : I use Office 2007, it work before with my old 2003 ROM.
After, I upgrade so i force with HimaUpgradeUt_noID.exe and the progs wont install temselves...
So i change the ROM again, the Radio...progs install works but the synch can't be achieved
Don't hesitate to curse me for 3 generations
I think the problem isnt on your device buth rather on you computer..
Why dont you try to make another user on your computer then try to sync it there..
Lets see what will happen
back in 5 minutes with the answer...
It isn't my PC, it's my device...
So is there a hard hard reset ? or do i try to be back to an old 2003SE or anyone could me what I do wrong with my Hima .
do you have an application that actually closes programs? if yes, try to set activesync.exe as an exception.
I got a task manager but i dont see what you want to do
Trying to tell my firewall or toher that active sync is good for me ?
=> It's the case because it was working fine before
Trying to close the prog on my device ?
=> Haven't a activsync.exe just en repllog.exe with the activ sync icone.
Well well well, i'm so fu**** confused
Back to old 2003SE and it works... Geez !
tried looking up the error code?

I have the very same problem, since i've cook a new rom aku 3.2 w/ 24Mb of pagepool. I've noticed that i can't delete or modify any file in the root folder, but using resco explorer. So i guess that my root folder for a reason i don't know, is write protected. My hima didn't sync with outlook, using any versior of ActiveSync at home and work (before the new rom, it works pretty fine), but it gets connected so i can use internet... So any of you guys can tell me how to solve my problem?
It would be very appreciated
I have the same problem,so i did backup my Data directly on the Himalaya Device und copied it over the WM5 Storage tool,its a small run in a Circle but
its functional ,You can Install Apps too,because you can choose now (thanks to WM2k5)where the
Apps are going to copied..
I do the same thing, but i really need to sync with mi outlook at home and work, so that back up don't solve the problem.
The problem is 100% in your PC. I discovered this when I notice that my laptop sync ok but want sync with my desktop. I done everything under the sun to make sure my disktop mirro image of the lapttop but nothing works.
Then at last I discovered that it works when I UNchecked the settings on the device (USB to PC) to disable the advance network functionality.
I suggest you delet active sync first and re-install it then reboot..
Good luck.
forget to mention both laptop and desktop XP, and device is XDA2 with AKU3.5
I think better use the fix version 4.2 not beta 4.5. It could be there is some bugs in the software.
Is this just an email sync issue, rather than just comms?
Do you use Exchange server?
Try this:
On the Exchange server, launch Internet Services Manager. Right click on the Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync virtual directory and choose Properties. Select the Directory Security tab. Click the Edit button in the Secure Communications section and select the option to “Ignore client certificates.”
Hello,
I've updated my I-mate PPC to WM5, trying various different ROMS.
Everytime I reflash, all of my contacts, appointments, notes etc stay on the phone. Also the software I installed before flashing stays in the system. Is this normal? How do I get it to completely wipe everything and put on an entirely new system so it's like a brand new phone?
Also, the storage size stays at 14.57MB, which isn't enough. Why isn't it making it bigger to say 32MB or whatever the Rom is supposed to set it at??
Sorry if this is all just because I haven't read the instructions properly but I can't seem to find the solution to these problems.
Cheers,
Tim
you format diskinchip from the bootloader
any chance of getting some more info? doing a search for diskinchip gives me nothing... really all I want is more storage memory than 14.57 MB...
Cheers
HELMI SP2
Hi there
Use the ROM provided by moeya. Helmi SP2! Great rom.
Itll automatically give you 30mb storage, instead of 15mb.
All th details to format the chip is in th readme, provided with the download!!

i-mate PPC to WM5
Hello Tim,
please note that the upgrade from PPC to WM5 is not possible in some cases it can run and get installed but in most cases it might damage the device main board and in this case the device will no longer works and also note that the windows mobile 2005 is not easy to work on the 2003 operating system like what the PPC got. and also about the storage size on the PPC its not enought because of the programs that get installed with the operating system of the PPC and take from the size of the actual memory on the device i hope you take the advice in conisderation about upgrading to wm2005.
Brad
thanks guys I've installed the Helmi rom and am very happy with it...
one thing that I wish it had, that other WM5 ROMs have, is a memory icon on the bottom taskbar. Is it as simple as a registry edit?
Also, holding the on button down doesn't turn the backlight off anymore - is there a fix for this??
I came across, on another forum, a today plugin pic.
The poster in fact, was posting the cabs for activating VoIP on Wm6 roms.
Cabs mostly from Xda.
But what impressed me the most, was a capture of his today screen.
He has the regular 'wireless' plugin showing the status and name of the three typical connexions: GSM, Bluetooth and Wifi.
But his plugin was showing also the status of his DATA connexion.
(I guess GPRS, EDGE, HSPDA etc.)
Any one knows where I could find the cab or the registry tweak to add this feature to the basic wireless plugin?
OK I finally got more informations, it's part of a today plugin and commanager from O2 XDA Zinc.
Any one who have access to this phone could help providing the following?
- Which registry values are present on that phone in this area:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Wireless"]
- has any one got the installation cab of that plugin?
It would be great to see the _setup.xml file, maybe the tweak is there
- any one can send me the "netui.dll" in the windows directory of that phone, so I can try to run it see if that helps showing the 'data connexion status'?
Cheers
Well, 64 viewers and still no one knows about it?
1) has any one seen this wireless today plugin before?
2) has any one used it before?
3) does any one know about a registry tweak, a cab or a dll that displays this additional data connexion status?
I have it on my TyTN...sorta.
It looks just like yours with the WiFi and Blutooth, but not the Data part of it.
The registry tweak is documented in the Wiki. That's where I found it
You did not get my point
Thanks for the reply, I thought every one got scared away by the question...
Yes, I already know the registry tweaks and I also got the cab for what I called the regular/typical wireless plugin (operator name, wifi status, bluetooth status).
My point is: how about the DATA status (gprs, edge, 3G)?
Does any one know how to add this fourth information into the wireless plugin?
I updated the first post and the title with new informations
Its all about the O2 XDA Zinc phone
Could some one be kind enough to provide the following informations:
- Which registry values are present on that phone in this area:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Today\Items\ "Wireless"]
- has any one got the installation cab of that plugin?
It would be great to see the _setup.xml file, maybe the tweak is there
- any one can send me the "netui.dll" in the windows directory of that phone, so I can try to run it see if that helps showing the 'data connexion status'?
Cheers
This is actually a very intersting find. Data indicator is what always turned me away from that plugin. It'd be very interesting to find out more, unfortunatley a lot of Googeling got me nowhere and without the device in possession I feel like I have not much more to offer.
Anyone else?
//Nik
Yeah, I made some more findings, thanks to the guy the screen-shot came from...
The registry keys seem to be quite similiar EXCEPT the fact that this wireless plugin doesn't use netui.dll, it uses a dll called: WirelessManagerToday.dll
I put that dll onto my system and tried to get i working but it didn't.
It did not give me any error, but it just displayed nothing...
So what we need now, it's an installation cab of the O2 Xda Zinc Wireless Manager or something like that, to see if there is another file involved in this process (an .exe file or whatever)
And to know if there are other settings apart that registry link to that particular dll.
Any one using O2 phone can answer?
hi there fancy meeting u here
the thing is o2 zinc comm manager is different from HTC one ... as the attachment below. Also a shot of the dll ... the string value of the dll show a Wireless Manager. Zip file contains the WManager.exe & also the dll
Hope this help
Hi mate.
The world is not that wide, when we use the same nick everywhere!
;-)
I tried to send you a mail with some useful stuffs to unlock your extendedrom, but every mail failed, maybe a problem of anti-spam filter.
I post here below the applications from this site and others. Give it a try...
cheers mate
well i ll try this one ... sad to hear that u cant use the plugin yet ... keep trying mate
BTW o2 zinc is made by Asus ... not sure if a htc unlocker can unlock the ext rom ...
Hope you can unlock your extended ROM and find some useful cab related to the Wireless Manager install.
I don't like to give up, but the fact is I don't know toward which direction make the next move...
When you have time, would you make some automatic search in your registry to make sure there is no other references to those dll and exe or maybe some other components of the whole wireless system. Thanks.
Yeah, I know the manufacturer is different, but It's still the same Windows Mobile system, there might be some bridges between them.
Cheers
i only have the update rom frm o2 only now ... i cant extract the exe file ... it only show error ... maybe you can teach me how to do a rom dump maybe than it can be some help to you
i have tried compiling a cab file with both dll & the registry using wince cab manager ... hope it can work
:fingercross:
