Hi everybody, I just got my o2 xda2 today and have been looking at the site for about a week, Im just wondering what are the essential upgrades to make to the xda2?!! I have had a browse of the forum and to be honest I dont really understand what most of the stuff is about, But I am willing to learn (im not totally thick) So could someone please tell me the essentials to heve or do to these pocket wonders, also if anyone has links to some decent free games I would appreciate it very much, I like my simulation games, like Sim City etc,
Regards Marc

Do you have an M500 already or something else ?
Hello, ladies and gentlemen.
I will be relinquishing my i-mate JAM for an M500 in a few hours, so I'd like to take the opportunity to thank everyone here for a great time and experiencing hacking away at these HTC devices. Though we've accomplished much, it's a double-edged sword with HTC and their branding companies such as i-mate, Dopod, O2, etc. They give us enough leeway to make some really cool customizations, but they also have the attitude that 'if you want features you're missing in your current software, we'd rather you purchase new hardware (read: WM5).'
The Eten M500 seems to be a very formidable competitor with some serious technical support and definite upgrade path to WM5, so in the long run, this will likely outlast the JAM in most respects.
When I get my M500, I'll hope to find a way to get into the bootloader and make a dump of the unit and perhaps end up helping the community who's helped me and countless others with their HTC devices.
Thanks for you time here and at HOFO
it's sad to hear that you are leaving xda-developers...
Yet.. I wish you best luck with your new M500 :wink:
I hope we can get great info from you regarding the device... as always
thanks for all of your time
cheers
@BeyondtheTech
Has ETEN's build quality improved? Their first few attempts at PPCPE were not so good... maybe you can share your ETEN experience when you get your m500. Have fun with your new device!
ETEN :shock:
I was actually talking about the Orange M500, sorry if the conversation went awal..
alright guys i just got my t-mobile mda replacement and decided i want to research the capabilities of the mda ..i came across this forum and found out you can do a lot with the mda...i was wondering if anyone could help me understand a little more of what i can do to the mda...basically...how to's
and step by step instructions to change my mda to fit me all i know is that it has
2.26.10.2..wwe
02.25.11..radio
4.1.13.12..protocol
2.26.10.105..extrom
and also if anyone can suggest where or what site i can go for full applications...it would really be nice to be welcome into the pocket pc world and get pointers from members...thanks to all....
Hello mlkjbo and welcome to the forum.
First of I think you should define some goals. We can't tell you how to make your MDA fit you, since we don't know you
If you want free software start here:
http://www.pocketpcfreeware.com
http://www.freewareppc.com
http://www.freecabs.de (this site is designed to be viewed directly from the phone)
Your device can do a lot of things, such as playing movies, listening to music and playing games.
Tell us what you want to do with it and we will be happy to point you in the right direction.
thx...your right i left that outto many profiles to list...question.. and this may sound stupid to ask but thats how much i dont know...but can i get a flash program onto the mda..well basically i wanted a my today screen for example to be the ocean with with moving fishes or something like that is that possible on the mda
Not only possible but there is a whole collection of flash themes out there.
Check out this site and here.
One thing though: this program will use up CPU power which will slow down your device and waste battery. It is pretty, but not very functional.
a newbies hello
i just bot a motorola mpx200 off ebay for $20
it unlocked. cant wait to play with it newtoy newtoy
this is my first smartfone. i was doing some google searches and came across this site. looking for wm2003 i guess right off the bat. so far have read that wm5 run kinda slow. since smartfones are new for me i figure wm2003 should be fine for me to tinker around with.
didnt see wm2003 on the ftp.
Welcome to the site.
Although we have sub forums for some smartphones here, MPX200 is not one of them. I suggest you also check out www.spv-developers.com as well (if you haven't already).
As for the ROMs we can no longer keep any on the FTP. M$ came down hard and made the admins remove them.
Try rapidshare and the likes, but make sure you have a good virus scanner.
Most important make sure you know 110% what you are doing before changing the ROM or you will be looking for a new deal on a phone!
Hello Folks,
Noob just joined as I just purchased an M3100 from ebay. Its unlocked and has been upgraded to WM6. I was offered a M3100 as an upgrade (with orange) back in august but I chose the Nokia N95 instead. I'm a phone/gadget freak. Always loved playing with phones, upgrading, changine software etc. Had a few smartphones in the past and have had one windows based phone (SPV E200).
I liked it, I thought it was a nice change from the usual simple phone menus and software. Mucked about with that too, installing unlock software etc. My N95 I've already debranded and added several after market progs.
Anyway enough babbling. Followed this forum for quite a while as I've always hankered after a TYTN even though I have an N95. Had some extra cash (birthday) so I got myself one . Cant wait to muck about with roms etc. Oh yeah umm, and hi!!
A senior member with a junior attitude, very nice
Welcome to the hermes forums.
Most new members find in a short time that asking questions that have been asked already will get them flamed by other members, espically senior members.
Wait I'm a senior member....
Seriously though you will love tinkering with all the stuff here. I love it. But this is not a forum where you can introduce yourself as a new member(as you have seen)That's a HowardForums or Brighthand kind of thing..
You will hear this more than once: "read the wiki". Words to live by.
For a head start:
Install HardSPLv7 (2.10 Olipro)
Find a rom you like (cant go wrong with shaps or Vp3g)
Perhaps a new radio (gotta try em all to see if they are good/bad for your area)
Lots of guys have done great work in here, so enjoy the fruits of their labor...
Oh yeah and if you find your incall volume to low, try the vp3g with setacoustic i served up.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=342174
Anyway welcome and good luck, hopefully it's your only flame....
very nice intrglctcrevfnk
I would only add one thing...
truscotsman72 should also check out THE MRVANX GUIDES for great upgrade assistance.
Otherwise, a very nice introduction to the forums. One other thought (now that I think of it) which may help explain the rather cool reception our noob friend received. These forums got their origins as an exchange of very technical information between devlopers - like the nearly-godlike Olipro, pof, MrVanx, duttythroy, sleuth, jasjamming, vp3g, schaps, faria and many, many others.... The more mundane "support-like" helpers like lowly old me is a rather new phenomenon that only starts once the ROM world gets more stable. We have achieved that in Hermes WM6 world. It is (as you have witnessed) a mixed blessing.
Either way, welcome to XDA-Developers, warts and all.
Thx guys, yeah I have the wiki page bookmarked and been reading through this site for hours. Very informative and interesting, which is why I joined. As for the welcome, it was just force of habit as with most forums you introduce yourself. Didn't mean to p*ss anybody off, just thought that was no way for a noob to be spoken to for saying hello (ok I did go on a bit). And I have the MRVANX guides bookmarked too, cheers
Well I received my M3100 this morning, nice machine, instruction book like a bible, but I'm having fun with it anyway. The GPRS doesn't work (something about settings) but google is my friend, oh and Device Information is:
Rom: Pro Black 3.0.1
Radio: 1.16.00.00

I assume you are in scotland? In your profile you can save what carrier and location you are. Helps for others to know in case you need help.
There is a page around here somewhere that has connection settings for different carriers somewhere....
I'll add it to this post when I find it.
Its ok, I got the GPRS settings from this site by searching, its up and running now. I can surf the net, only problem I have now is, how to disconnect when done surfing. I guess I should RTFM
As for Device Info, yeah I'm gonna stick it in my sig

But i got this: i have WM 5 installed on this lovely machine,and i gotta install wm 6.1 (so i've been told) and all other stuff that belongs to it to make a nice complex system.I don't know where to start,i don't know which rom to download and the procedure,i've read many things about unlocking and bricking the pda so i'm scared.Is anyone willing to help with a list of steps of all i have to do ? Thanks in advance.So,help me or kick me in the butt for being a noob
