O2 \extended_rom\ CABs


Recommended Posts

Having followed the directions in other threads, I've now got a "clean" Xda with none of the O2 stuff on it. However, I've realised that some of the stuff in \extended_rom\ is useful, e.g. the stuff to make Oulook support MMS. I just wondered if anyone know the functions of the other CAB files in \extended_rom\ ? I've done two for starters, can anyone else help to fill in the blanks?

\CAB-Shortcut-MMS10JAVA5XX-VOICE-O2-31Oct05.CAB

Installs MMS support for Pocket Outlook, as well as MIDLet Manager and Voice Dialling

SmartDialing_enable_0915_signed.CAB

Installs smart dialling - works like predictive text when you type a name from your contacts into the phone dialler - same as on Phone Edition.

Signed_O2UK_103040101_RingTone.sa.cab

Signed_O2UK_exception.sa.CAB

Signed_O2UK_Region_Customize.sa.CAB

Signed_Remove_BatteryIcon.sa.CAB

Signed_WIZ_O2UK_PIE_homepage.sa.CAB

Signed_DiscoButton_16.sa.CAB

STK_Service.sa.CAB

\CAB-Customisation-O2UK-Wizard-01-05-05Oct05XML.CAB

PhoneLight_Skin_O2_WWE_1005.CAB

Signed_UA.sa.CAB

Rilgsm_STK.sa.CAB

Signed_Version.sa.CAB

signed_Prodigy_o2AUI4_build26.cab

As detailed in this thread..

CAB: \Extended_ROM\Signed_UNI_Remove_BatteryIcon.sa.CAB

Removes default battery icon from the system tray.

Not particularly useful!

Signed_WIZ_O2UK_PIE_homepage.sa.CAB

Sets the default Pocket IE homepage to something (probably an O2 page). Not useful.

Signed_O2UK_103040101_RingTone.sa.cab

I think this adds some extra ringtones, my Vario doesn't operate any differently with or without the t-Mobile version of this CAB installed.

Signed_DiscoButton_16.sa.CAB

Not sure, possibly sets/controls the behaviour of the branded top-right button. Vario has a similar DiscoButton CAB.

PhoneLight_Skin_O2_WWE_1005.CAB

Keypad skin? Possibly. Keypad skin could also be set in one of the other "customisation" CAB's though.

Rilgsm_STK.sa.CAB

Has 'gsm' in it, could be important.

CAB-Customisation-O2UK-Wizard-01-05-05Oct05XML.CAB

Probably installs and selects the O2 theme, colour scheme, etc.

Signed_O2UK_Region_Customize.sa.CAB

Could be configure the regional settings of the phone, i.e. language, currency, date and time format, that kind of thing. This would set up the phone for people in the UK without them having to do it themselves.

Hi,

I have also done a reset before the O2 software installs, as expected this gets rid of all the cr@ppy software by not installing the CAB files. ;)

However, as lekus noted this stops MMS working.... :oops:

I have re-written the config.txt to install the following:

Original:

LOCK:Enabled

CAB: \Extended_ROM\Signed_O2UK_103040101_RingTone.sa.cab

CAB: \Extended_ROM\Signed_O2UK_exception.sa.CAB

CAB: \Extended_ROM\Signed_Remove_BatteryIcon.sa.CAB

CAB: \Extended_ROM\Signed_DiscoButton_16.sa.CAB

CAB: \Extended_ROM\STK_Service.sa.CAB

CAB: \Extended_ROM\Signed_Version.sa.CAB

HIDE:Enabled

LOCK:Disabled

This gives a nice clean install without the O2 graphics and the MMS works on first Hard reset, but after a soft reset it looses it again :oops: :oops: . If I run :

CAB-Shortcut-MMS1-JAVA5XX-VOICE-O2-31Oct05.CAB

using Total Comander the MMS reappears in Outlook, but dissapears if i do a soft reset..agggggghhhhh.

I dont wat to have to keep running the MMS CAB to get my MMS to work!!!

Why does WM5 not support MMS without the additional CABS?

Hi all,

I have just done a hard reset and not installed all the O2 stuff (yay) but now cannot do MMS or enter a name on the dialer (boo hiss).

I have been looking through this thread, and can see I need to do something with a CAB - where (and how) do I do it on the phone?

Cheers all.

Paul

I'm cleaning out my M3000 atm... you can check what's in the cab by downloading it from your Wizard to your PC. I used Totalcommander for pocketpc: http://www.ghisler.com/pocketpc.htm to copy the files from \Extended_ROM to my storagecard.

Then I opened the Storagecard with Totalcommander on my PC with the WinCE Filesystem plugin: http://www.ghisler.com/plugins.htm#filesys and copied the cab files to my pc, if you double click the cab in totalcommander it opens it up like a ZIP, then you can view whats actually in the files, there are some XML files which are "readable", just hit F3 'to open the viewer. if you see garbage, check the next one ;)

This is an example of a part of the IE Favorites cab:

<wap-provisioningdoc>

<!--    Network Setting  -->

<!--  Favorite Setting  -->

<!--  Del favorite-->

	<characteristic type="Registry">

  <nocharacteristic type="HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FavoritesEntries\MSN Mobile" />

  <nocharacteristic type="HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FavoritesEntries\Pocket PC Web Guide" />

  <nocharacteristic type="HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FavoritesEntries\WindowsMedia.com" />


  <characteristic type="HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FavoritesEntries\Orange World" >

 	 <parm name="Icon" value="\Windows\orange16.bmp" datatype="string" />

 	 <parm name="URL" value="wsp://wap.orange.nl/" datatype="string" />

 	 <parm name="Order" datatype="integer" value="0" />

  </characteristic>

  <characteristic type="HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FavoritesEntries\Nieuws & Weer" >

 	 <parm name="Icon" value="\Windows\orange16.bmp" datatype="string" />

 	 <parm name="URL" value="wsp://wap.orange.nl/ deeplink.cfm?channel=nieuwsweer" datatype="string" />

The bottom part is where the actual link is added to the favs.

Oh great... I've never had any problems with the MMS plugin for Pocket Outlook on my "clean" Xda Mini, which I installed from the CAB in \extended_rom\ - even after soft resets it was always there and worked fine.

Until I did a hard reset last night that is. Like others here, I can re-install it from \extended_rom\, and succesfully send/receive MMS, but after every soft reset it just disappears again. I just can't fathom out what I did differently last time that kept it there all the time. Arghhhhh! :twisted:

...it gets worse - it also deletes any addition accounts I have set up in Pocket Outlook every time I reset. :evil:
