Morning / Afternoon / Evening to All,
Not to be critical of this wonderful website which is full of great resources but, I have noticed that the useful info is hard to find.
So I thought it might be a good idea to post all of my items in the one place so here goes.
I will update these as i go.
TIP
If you want the CAB Files in remain in your PPC after install simply change the files preferences to "Read Only"
since i was just upgrade from wallaby to magician, i found all your posting, instructions and cab files very very helpful thanks a lot ampda, you rules :!:
Hello ampda , Great Work Friend . . . many thanx for these cabs and instruction files.
Cheers for taking the time to make them for the rest of us noobs
Glad to Help
verry nice indeed but there are simpler ways of doing the discribed below
(copied this out of pdf file )
3. Copying your “Extended ROM” Files before Big Storage
You need to copy the files from your “Extended ROM” before you go the Big Storage as you will need to install some of them after you’re finished, i.e. MMS etc. They will be deleted after the upgrade (and that’s the whole point).
a. To copy them from your Magician do a hard reset (push the power button and reset button at the same time).
b. Go through the screen alignment, time zone etc and get ready…….. when you reach the “Completed” screen it will ask you to “Tap your screen…. As soon as you tap the screen you get 3 sec to soft reset (push the reset button). If you miss it as I did just do a hard reset and try again.
c. After you do b. above go to the built in file explorer and under “My Device” you will now see the treasured “Extended_ROM” with all its files. Copy the directory straight to your SD Card then to your PC, keep them safe.
its just a bit easyer when you just fill in
go to windows folder on PPC and search loadvdisk.exe
run it and you will see your ext_rom (until you reset )
not to sure the usual file explorer can do this but Resco file explorer will find it
another progie that can find it is total commander :

Hi!!
Thanks for all your help!
Does anyone konw, or is there a way to save to the pc the SMS messages both received and sent??
Cheers!
use jeyo mobile companion. u can backup all of your messages, contacts (phone and sim), etc.
Hi!
Thanks for the tip!
By the way, and i think these questions are more tricky, is there any way NOT to charge the battery while the phone is connected to the USB?
And while using the calling software, when inputing the nunbers, to make the sim card entries dissapear and only have the ones that are in the contacts? Because most of the times i have a double entry and it really makes me mad!
Thanks!
The way to NOT to charge the battarie is to make some changes to your cable - cut +5v from USB (or make a switch).
the tray launch only app.... theres now way to BROWSE for the program you want on the tray?
sucks that you have to type out the entire path just to get it
Any idea whether these (or more specifically the camera speckles change) will work on a Wizard?
Remove Camera
Noob question here.
Once i install the camera & album to Storage how do i delete it from the \windows . Maybe not possible due to it being in ROM. In this case I end up with 2 camera software? So i'm curious what is the idea of installing in storage.
Halo ampda, i tryin to follow your how_to_ppc_upgrade.pdf buat I stuck in the step 4 backing up your existing rom to PC, in romupdate.exe I still confuse about the PORT things. can you help me to, which one to use?
please help...
thanks
Thanks for nice posting AMPDA..
I have a question,
I installed ampda_CameraV2.7b21026_RAM.CAB
but my camera version was 2.70 (build 18727) and it is still the same. I reset the device but still didnt become build 2026.
Do you have an idea?
regards
Guys,
This sharing is really useful. I just bought mine few days ago from ebay. Mine doesn't come with ANY EXT ROM at all! No software such MMS, smart dial etc.
Can anyone provide a link to get back those basic EXT ROM software so that I can upload it back? ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/ is not working for me. Any help pls?

Hi Lupusic,
Thanks a lot for your kind offer. I manage to pull up the files from the FTP using cuteFTP software. Some how my company laptop doesn't allow default browser connection....
My phone is O2 mini and has v.1.13 for both rom & radio. I think it's BigStorage (not sure though).
Any good advice for me? I mean anything at all....
Thx again

Guys, I'm not able to run Boot Image Tool. It gives me this error
Component 'mscomctl.ocx' or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid
Any idea?
Thx....
Hi AMPDA,
Thanks for all your postings on big storage which gives detailed instructions step-by-step. Very brief and consise. Also now I notice you have put everything into 1 place like a table for pick and choose. Can it get any better ? Can't ask for anything more. You have so many useful cabs and instructions. I have benefitte a great deal. ONCE AGAIN Thank You.
What's the app called that lets you take a screenshot of your phone?
I have a HTC HD2

I like it a lot for screen shots & also does video file from display, very useful tool once you have spent some time using & learning with it.
Download Windows Developer Power Tools from
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...d6-1dcc-47aa-ab28-6a2b006edfe9&displaylang=en
It's the WindowsMobilePowerTools.msi at the bottom of the page. It will add Activesync Remote Display to your Start Menu. Connect your device with ActiveSync and run the tool. The device's screen appears in the window. With it active, use Alt-PrintScreen to copy it to the clipboard.
P.S. This stuff was originally designed for WM2003 / CE 4.2. To get it to work on WM 5.0 onwards, you have to do some hacking around. Read the README.TXT file that gets installed into the
C:\Program Files\Windows Mobile Developer Power Toys\ActiveSync_Remote_Display
directory. The problem is caused by the fact that CPU's have moved on and the software has been left to wither on the vine. Your WM 5/6/6.5 device will, more than likely, have an ARM based CPU in it, but the software will not recognise it, as such. Read the README.TXT file first, but even then, there is an error in it. The program you run on the PC is "ASRDisp - m" not "cerhost2.exe -m" as mentioned in the file. You will also have to connect the PPC program using the name of your PC.(From My Computer -> Properties) It's a lot of messing about, but it does work, as can be seen by the attached.
The other method I sometimes use is to run an emulator image. PrintScrn or ALT-PrintScrn cannot be used to trap the current window as the emulator filters them as part of its own input stream and ignores them. Windows never gets to see it. You have to move the focus off the emulator then use PrintScrn to trap the whole display image, then use Paint to cut out the emulator area that you really want, and then paste it where you really need it. More messing about.........
thanks guys for heelping me out. Kinda skeptic on googling downloads I don't wanna brick my phone.

I realize this is an android forum but I have found so much help on these boards for my mobile needs I thought I'd ask my pc question too. Hopefully someone can help me or direct me where to go. I have a sony vaio running windows 7. I am trying to delete alot of windows programs that I never use. Things like windows silverlight,windows live essentials,windows messenger,etc. Whenever I try to delete it I get a message telling me it's a system file & cant be deleted. The reason I am asking her is because I have been able to root my android devices & delete programs I dont want so I was hoping there was a way to do the same thing for my laptop. Any help is greatly appreciated.

There's no such thing as rooting on a Windows PC. You already have full access to all root folders like "Windows" and lower.
I'm glad you've found XDA so useful for your mobile needs, but unfortunately I have to close this as it's outside our scope of discussion. You're more than welcome to try asking in the computer support thread in Off-topic. Good luck.
This seems simple bit what I'm after is a way of viewing my android on my pc by direct usb connection , in such a way that requires no installation of software on the pc side , just say a simple executable program that I can keep on my phone that runs on the pc to display the phone / tablet screen .
Any ideas ?

In most cases you will probably need to install something on your PC. Your best bet may be to install a VNC server on your Android device. There are other apps that make your Android device operate as a second display but they all require installing software on your PC, even special drivers in some cases.
Hi
I'm starting a little compagny and I'm having a hard time finding a way to automatise my android player installations.
I would like all my players to have teamviewer installed on them, but to install it manually, one by one, is time consuming.
is there a way to create an autorun usb pen drive that could install the APK by itself? I have 500 to program and I'm already bored after 5
thanks

Hello,
Not sure if there is something similar unless you use a custom script.
