Guest j_Duqueno Posted July 9, 2004 Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 In WM2003, how do I set the five icons at the top of the start screen? I can't stand them changing to the most recently used applications. This is buging me too :D Think you have to install a different home screen but I can't find one with the 5 static icons. Does anyone have the xml/skin for this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest arman68 Posted July 9, 2004 Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 No linking to ILLEGAL ROMS (this wm2k3 rom IS ILLEGAL ... We are currently linking to the MSMobiles site, not directly to the rom. That is just hyprocrisy: Modaco gives the news about the rom, tells where to get it, and allows discussion about it. Not linking directly to the ROM or not allowing the url to be posted in the forum does not make sense. I do not have a MPx200, but I am glad that people are able to upgrade it to WM2003. There was a similar thing with the Siemens SL45: people were stuck on old firmware with no access to the latest one, and Siemens was not listening to users and fixing bugs. Luckily some forums allowed trading and discussing the latest ROM, and soon there was a thriving developer community that reverse engineered the ROM and implemented lots of new functions, giving a new lease of life to this phone. IMHO the MPx200 has reached a similar point: users are abandoned by the manufacturer and their provider who will not listen to them and deny them whatever they were promised or expected in the first place. I think it is now up to the users to help themselves, and it would be a shame for Modaco to miss this opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pixelboy Posted July 9, 2004 Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 But Modaco are right.. it is illegal. Its just like giving WinXP away. If I were the one responsible for this site id take the same attitude. Microsoft's legal reach is far and wide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TANKERx Posted July 9, 2004 Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 Things to watch out for if you install this patch You have less executable and internal storage memory. I've not met any troubles due to less executable memory, but there are some applications (eg. Lextionary) which I now cannot install because there isn't enough storage space to keep the temporary installer (is there a registry hack to change the location of this folder?). There is no MMS. jMMS will not install. The OS seems a little sluggish to me, which is odd because applications are more responsive. Pocket Music, for example, hardly skips at all now whereas under 2002, it would have a few. I quite like the 'fuzzy text', but it's taking me a while to work out how that blasted inbox thing works! It's as confusing as the underworld! PS I get the envelope on the outside of the phone, but remember it can take a few seconds for it to appear after receiving a text.

Guest flashflash Posted July 9, 2004 Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 dont know what Ive done, but dont get envelope icon on the front and main screen. Any ideas anyone..... Still no email as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ceilidh Posted July 9, 2004 Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 I'm more than eager about this. However, I have some doubts that I need addressed before I go ahead and install the update... (bearing in mind I'd be more used to it than 2002, as I only recently got my MPx200, had an E200 until now). MMS - can anyone confirm that this works at all? I send a few picture messages each month, I'd hate to have to resort to digging out my E200 just to do this. Cleartype - How fuzzy are we talking here? After I installed the ROM upgrade for my E200 I certainly noticed the difference, but found it a lot easier after a while. Similar standards, or to the point of being unreadable? Ease of installation - easy enough to install? I don't want to end up with a defunct phone in my hands because I screwed something up, especially as it isn't covered by my insurance then. PS - English update please :D Personally I don't mind reg hacking (done it plenty of times in the past on my E200 and main PC) but some might have qualms about it.

Guest Paul [MVP] Posted July 9, 2004 Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 On the contrary, I have spoken with MS and told them that this is our stance. Discussing tweaks for an image somebody else has illegally released is NOT the same as posting links or hosting... P That is just hyprocrisy: Modaco gives the news about the rom, tells where to get it, and allows discussion about it. Not linking directly to the ROM or not allowing the url to be posted in the forum does not make sense. I do not have a MPx200, but I am glad that people are able to upgrade it to WM2003.

Guest furby Posted July 9, 2004 Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 I never use mms so could tell you, might install later and find out. The text is a bit bolder and not that sharp but I'm getting used to it, could take a pic if people want but not sure if it would come out. The installation was pretty easy, just make sure you follow all the instructions (there al lots of pictures :D ) And English (and multilanguages) update was realeased by the same person on msmobiles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RobPowell Posted July 9, 2004 Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 Ceilidh, To answer from my experiences.... MMS- No MMS at all. Cleartype - I love the new cleartype, don't see why people don't like it. Ease of installation - Upgrading the rom was easy, same for registry software and editing. The only issue was finding the menu to change the languages!! But that's easy. Your worse case will be that you will have a german phone :D My request is MMS AND GPRS ON ORANGE!!! hehehehe (gotta find a fix for gprs that works for my phone) flashflash, I get an envelope on the outside window, inside, and a number on the SMS box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
