1.13.00 BS - Missing Things/Questions/Ideas.

I have updated to 1.13 Big Storage, and now im missing a few tiny but helpful things.
before my jump to 1.13 i noticed my GPRS icon had a 'disconnect' button, now on 1.13BS it doesnt, so i find it hard to disconnect my GPRS connection, i dont like having it on all the time, only as and when.
Have i not installed something from the extended rom to fix this?
Also, how can i change the MMS/SMS/Email and Ringtones. I want to use mp3 tones for all, on the SPV C500 it was a reg hack that fixed this, is this the same?
Ive got a wav file as my ring tone at the minute, but its mahoosive!
Is there a loudspeak option on the phone? and is there a way to add voice dialing/typing?

Hi vini,
You're now experiencing plain WM2003 :-(
So go for the reg.hack for mp3 ringtone selection or put them manually in the rings folder.
GPRS disconnect is the same or you get the cab from the ori. ext-rom to get the disconnect button in the bubble or you use spb pocket tips&trucs to add it or push the red disconnect button for a few seconds.
So everything you mentioned isn't plain WM2003, but very handy indeed. Which means the providers are sometimes useful.
Cheers, M

red disconnect button? i dont get that
another bug/problem ive found, is im only getting 70 characters on Certain sms messages, i think. when i Reply this happens.

The red button to disconnect a phone call.
Seems like you are using unicode in your sms replies these double byte characters are using your precious sms space. You can turn them off, but don't rember how. It has been discussed many times before, so a search on unicode should help you.
Cheers, M

How to???
Hey ppl,
I downloaded the zip file from ftp site\magician\big storage ROMS\WWE 1.13.zip
Extracted it and found bs113.nbf file.. now how do i use it to upgrade my Poket PC? Ive gt no much knowledge in this bigstorage thngy and so can u help me.. Tanx a lottt in advance...

hey Carty, there is a tutorial which explains all (ive attached it)
that is all i followed and this thread.
ive worked out that my SMS allowance (usually 160 chars) is cut to 70 if i use a ' or any form of strange punctuation.
i was writing 'whats the weather like' and it automatically changed it to 'what's the weather like' i noticed id been cut to 70 chars, but deleted the
' in "what's" and i got my 160 char limit back, freaky! but how can we fix it? or is it just me?

BS without MMC reader!

I faced the same prob as u rite nw, tat msg ting.. u gotta change some settings in messages.. il telya my settings.. go to messaging,accounts and ul see a setting for text messaging.. click on tat and itl take u to a place wer yr opperator# will b ritn.. belo tat thers an option "use unicode wen necessacy" check tat on...
Now to mine, i read ampda' ting and found tat i need an mmc reader.. bt i don have it and heard somewer someone who told tat u cld do it wit usb itself if u already have a patched file... can yu help me pls...

For an update to rom 1.13BS go to the thread about upgrading to 1.13 and radio 1.13 in the magician upgrading etc. section. Find the post from hlt. He wrote a complete how to & posted the tools. A few posts later I added some minor comments on the how to. You will patch a shipped rom & upgrade via usb. No need for SD- or MMC-readers.
Regards, M

H oltp,
I chkd yr posted reply and uve mentioned abt getdevicedata.exe to b copied to device... wer frm i get tat application (getdevicedata.exe)?
and how to decode tat nk.nbf file?? help me pls.. as i sed, im new!

Dear Carty,
Hlt posted the tool nbfdec in that thread, hexedit can be found on the ftp xda:[email protected] in one of the magician sub-directory. The getdevicedata file is part of the shipped rom which you can download from the ftp at the magician\shipped roms subdir.
Does this help you?
Regards, M

What about skipping it & using the maupgradeut_noid? My guess is that that stepnis meant to avoid the country id error. So is maupgradeut_noid. So download it fRom the ftp, put it in your dir. with the other extracted files from the shipped rom, execute it twice & you must be there.
Regards, M

FIne,
ive got
1.enterbl.exe
2.getdevicedata.exe
3.Rom upgradeUT.exe
4.ms_.nbf
5.nk.nbf
6.radio_.nbf
7.ruu.conf
8.ruu.dll
9.UI.dll
from the original shipped T-mobile' ROM
Got MaUpgrade.exe from ftp
got bs113.nb1 from big storage folder under ftp...
i have 'em all in one folder... i also added a line 'checkid type..' in ruu.conf to avoid country id error.. so now i directly run MaUpgrade file in bootloader mode or to delete any file from above.. i mean, the Bigstorage unpatched file from shipped ROM.. which file is it? and do i have to decode or do somethin to tat bs113.nb1 file? cz the original rom had files in nbf format..
Oltp, tanx for yr reply and help me wit tis nw.. im annoying you too much i gezz

Hold on, slow down a bit for this old man.
You're mixing things up. The bs113.nb1 is a complete romimage & cannot be used in a shipped rom upgrade.
To use that file you need a different procedure:
- dump your current rom on a sd-card
- get it on your pc
- copy the first 416 bytes from your dump into (overwrite) the bs113.nb1
- write the modified bs113.nb1 on your sd-card
- put in your magician
- press power
- wait till it finishes
- reset
- done
For the shipped rom you need to
- decode the nk.nbf to nb1 format with nbfdec
- open nk.nb1 in hexeditor
- search twice for the mentioned bit pattern & replace it with the usual BS pattern
- encode the modified nk.nb1 to nk.nbf again
- connect your magician with usb to pc (no need for bootloader mode)
- run maupgradeut_noid (this will check your device & puts it into bootloader with the enterbl file)
- follow instructions on pc screen
- keep an eye on your very dark magician screen
- wait till it finishes
- reset
- done
Cheers, M

Man i made it!!
Finally i made it.. All my thanx to whoever helped me..specially to oltp.. Im sorry oltp if ive annoyed u but i ws confused & im new too.. anyway, wot i did ws, patched the BS ting in the shipped ROM' nk.nbf file after decoding it.. I don understand 1 ting.. this is the easiest method of all BIgStorage' methods.. it doesnt require a mmc reader too.. Then y dn they jus place the patched nbf file in the original shipped rom and place it in BigStorage folder.. Cz every BS folder in ftp i see, there are some oter files wich i won understand.. Anyway tanx to oltp for helping me wit his replies sooon.. Finally I got BiggggG STorage

I belief herman3101 uploaded a modified nk.nbf, don't know the exact location. I just uploaded my rom to help someone here at the forum.
So everybody can choose his/her favorite method.
& I just like to patch myself, if something goes wrong I know who to blame.
Have fun with your new rom.
Cheers, M

Manila "Today Screen" Softkey Change

Here is a step-by-step instructions on how to change the Manila Home "Today" screen bottom "Phone" soft key into "Contacts" soft key.
1. Download and copy the following Cab file onto your device SD card.
2. from your device install the downloaded cab file on the DEVICE memory.
3. Go to Start/Programs/System/Manila Config/Softkeys ( from the bottom tabs ), (Manila Config is also called Manilla 2D Customizer (M2DC)) Locate it and click on "Softkeys").
4. In the box under the "Left Softkey Name" type in Contacts
5. Click on the Right-hand box next to the 'Left Softkey Command space.
6. Locate the "Windows" directory and click it and wait till directory tree opens up.
7. Locate "RandomAccess.exe" file and click it; you will see it toward the bottom of the "Windows" directory tree.
8. Click on "Apply" at the bottom of your screen display.
9. it will prompt you to restart, click OK and you will have the lefthand soft key changed to Contacts. A much better setting than "Phone" command which you can access via the Green "Phone" hard button.
Good luck.
Credit goes to the creator of the "Random Access" cab file... For more info visit http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=427392

is it possible to use this to add "device lock" to the today screen? im running garmin dk.4.c if that helps. i dont like the slide2unlock.
sorry if this is mentioned somewhere else also, ive been searching for it for at least a hald hour now on here and i cant find it

there is already a wonderful thread in the dev and hacking forum by mpenguin that explains soft keys changes and more on m2d; but thanks for ur post and explanation anyways

Hmmm...
... I downloaded the file. Copied it to my SD card and ran the .cab but it doesn't ask me where I want to install it (phone or SD) and just says it's installed. So I reset the phone look for the Manilla Softkey Edit in Settings/System... nada. Any ideas?
Just a thought... is it because I'm running TF3D? That's the only thing I can think of.

I am experimenting with TF3D but did not dive into key remapping yet. I suggest you copy the cab file onto your device memory and try to run it that way. Your initial installation could have taken place on your SD card perhaps, and thats why you are not seeing it. Try the Device memory and let us know.

See if you have M2DC ( Manila Customizer). If you do not have it then go to http://code.google.com/p/manilla2dcustomizer/
and install it.

Alternatively, you can have M2DC link the left softkey to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Contacts.lnk, no need to install any cab (other than M2DC, of course ).

it's easyier to use M2DC
Manilla customizer the latest build can change the softkeys
much easyier

Took the easy way out...
... I wanted to remap the right softkey to the RSS Hub... but I just used the PTT button instead since I don't use the voice recorder. Thanks for you help though... both of your options worked by the way.

How do i add device lock to the soft keys. By searching couldnt find anything..

Is there any way to change soft key to device lock using manila customizer?

How do I open Bookmarks in File Explorer/Total Commander? {WinMo 6.1 issue}

Ooops, I am aware of the accidental double post, please delete it
Hello, I have tried EVERYTHING.
I have tried putting down the parameters you guys gave me and even using the registry change cab, I've tried Xperia Tweak, I've tried J.S. Advanced Config, I even used a registry editor myself to fix my file associations problem.
But it is impossible for me to open the bookmark aka URL file.
Can someone help me?
Is my only way to make URL files open via PIE or Opera Browser is to reformat and hardware reset my phone?
Can someone please give step by step guide to do this. Someone has helped me before but it seemed to do nothing.
When I click on any url file, it brings me to the associated browser but than it brings me to an error page, WHY DOES IT NOT BRING ME TO THE ONLINE WEBSITE?
People please tell me that it is possible to open saved/bookmarked links on a phone's file explorer!
Is it possible?

BUMP, Is it possible?

Can someone just tell me what happens when they open a url file? because it takes me two hours to reformat and setup my phone.

Bump? (please tell me if it is illegal for bumping)

I am still waiting for an answer LOL.
