[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] ZeroXtreme:
This extended ROM is based on the latest UK release of 1.72.181, and was customized for asian users of the Xda II.

All the latest versions of the software in the base ROM are included, minus all O2 UK custom settings and software, however all configuration settings are set to the old Asian extended ROM version 1.60.44.

I also added the latest drivers/software for the Socket Communications SDIO Wifi card and the Xda II Thumb Keyboard which automatically install as a part of the post install tasks.

I had to remove the Java MIDlet Manager included in the base ROM since the size limit of the extended ROM was exceeded, and I also removed the O2 Active UI since it is customized for O2 UK users. I included the installer .CAB file for the MIDlet Manager in the .ZIP file so that it can be installed manually after the ROM upgrade if desired.

I am currently using this custom extended ROM now and have not encountered any problems. It is ideal for Asian users of the Xda II.

Enjoy...

You are aware that build 181 is for those who need Blackberry, WAP and Mobile Web to remain connected when a phone call is received. It will disconnect any GPRS connection running, requiring a manual re-connection of GPRS.

Build 187 allows GPRS to remain connected when receiving a call. I suspect this is the PRIMARY build everyone should use.

The reason I mention this is that at this point I haven't heard what differnces there are in the Extended ROMs (specifically).

Blackberry support

Yes I am aware that this is the one for Blackberry, I customized this one because my provider, Globe Telecoms, has Blackberry service.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] Nighthawk:
Have you connected to the Blackberry service?

We dumped Blackberry since it has crappy PDF/Excel/Word/Project support. We now use Pylon Anywhere and Pocket PCs, must say this solution is better than Blackberry.

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] bydandie:
Umm, if you read the documentation, you'd see that the Mobile Web and/or blackberry connection will remainconnected. All others will not, therefore unless you connect to GPRS without the default settings, it doesn't really matter.

ZeroXtreme,

Did you leave the Ultra Profile in it? or it comes with the 02 Active?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] Guest:
I think it comes with O2 Active UI. Its not in any other cab file.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] dcs:
Yes, it is part of the O2Active stuff.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] ZeroXtreme:
Ultra Profiler

As dcs mentioned, it is part of O2 Active UI.

I cant remember exactly where in the forum I got it from before, but there is a way to get just the Ultra Profiler and enable it on your unit. Try doing a search in the forum, the instructions and necessary files were provided.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] dcs:
Re: Ultra Profiler

I found a post here: http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=4278

However, it is from way back, so someone with the current version of O2 Active installed needs to build the same solution.

You will have to be a subscriber to the Blackberry service before getting it to function.

Globe Telecoms provide this service, I also know that Smart is also providing it.

I am still in the process of inquiring if the service can be subscribed to without purchasing the Blackberry device.

Re: Update...

Sorry for the idiots question but how do we load the contents of this zip file into the Extended Rom. I have it unlocked & unhidden and I was expecting to see a bunch of .cab files in your zip to copy over. To my suprise there is only one cab file and one .nbf file. I am guessing I must use a utility to write the ExtROM image sector for sector. Is that right? can you kindly clarify?

How to extract ROM image with er2003Edit

hi k_kirk,

I think what you need to do is select "mk_ ROM" or some kind like that in the file type drop-down box while you are opening the ROM, then key in the password (for NK ROM: 0x20040304; mk_ ROM: 0x20040305; and the Radio ROM: 0x20040306). After that, it should be fine.

Hope the information is helpful!

good day,

just downloaded the 1.72.187 O2 UK ROM, because i dont need blakberry suppot.

but i am interested in using your customized ROM, but you indicated that this is to be used for the 181 version...can i use it along with the 187 version by overwriting the extracted ms.nbf file?

is the blackberry software IN the EXT ROM?

have you inserted the AUTOCONFIG program? im on SMART - Phils.

Thanks for your reply.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] ZeroXtreme:
181 and 187

It seems that the difference of the two versions are only the extended ROMs. SO if you overwrite the ms.nbf of the 187 with the custom 181, I am assuming that it will become 181.

The only difference I see so far is the Blackberry support, and yes the Autoconfig settings for Smart is in the customized 181.

zero, i'm using 1.66 - if i install the 181 ext rom, will it revert my rom to 1.60? i heard about the reason for the 1.66 on my xda2 is for the different lcd screens than those in xdas running 1.60. what's your say in this? also, won't i regret it if i install the 181 ext rom?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] ZeroXtreme:
Re: 1.66

The base ROM is not 1.60, its 1.72 so it will not revert your ROM to 1.60.

You can always re-flash the ROM with another version if you find that a certain version is more to your liking, besides 1.66 is the buggiest of all versions, in my opinion.

2. Extract the ms_.nbf from the .ZIP file I posted into the same directory you extracted the files from step 1, overwriting the ms_.nbf that came stock.

3. Run the HimaUpgradeUt.exe

Yes I loaded the AP cooked version and I can get my emails via my Enterprise Service OK. I am a Vodafone User :idea:

You need to load also the Config utility in your PC...sync the devices up after enabling Blacberry Service in your SIM Card..make sure you choose between WebMail or Enteprise ...

Unfortunately a major difference between Blackberry and Blackberry RIM Software on a XDA 2 is the fac that there is no Calendar SYNC..only email is 'pushed' to the XDA 2

Great..and adictive

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zenida:
Hello everyone,

As you know there are different versions of JB ROM, from 4.1.1 to 4.2.2, but which is the most stable/bug free?

I'm making that question because I'm on 4.0.4 and my system is going to make heavy for many reasons, so I want to upgrade to JB if possible.

I never tried carefully any JB ROM therefore I can't take a judgment, but from comments and changelogs 4.1.2 seems the most stable JB ROM right now.

I always flashed and tested different ROMs everyday, but now I'm tired to flash all the time and I want a daily use one.

What are the common bugs that I've to expect from a JB ROM? And, what's your opinion about the topic?

NOTE: To keep clear and useful this thread don't give just general considerations

but indicate the differences from other ROMs that you tested so we can have an idea of your conception of benefits* and specify:

ROM Thread

Boot Loader

Type of installation (NAND, NativeSD, DataOnEXT)

* If you say your car is powerful, it doesn't mean anything, but if you say your car is more powerful than Fiat 500, then we can understand your meaning of Power

You shouldn't ask people to compare roms, it is a do-it-yourself kind of thing. Everyone has different experiences with the same rom. It is always about tastes.

And I think is against the rules here. Not sure, wont search. Lol.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zenida:

That is what happens when you ask what is the 'best, most stable, fastest' rom.

If you want to know the difference, there is an app for that! I mean .. there is .. the ... CHANGELOG. There, you can see what the ROM is based on, what's been added and what's been removed. Compare changelogs to know the difference.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Kameirus:
why are people that post threads like this not banned from xda for about a year
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zenida:
Yes, but I'm not talking about a pure user experience, but related to bug level of the ROMs and its daily usability. I read changelogs, but I want to know about people opinions, furthermore it's not strictly related to a specific ROM, but just to Android versions. Just to have an idea on how much are serious some bugs

That's why you are not an admin or moderator man ;), because on a Q&A forum, people are free to ask about anything (that's the reason why Q&A exist) and ask about others experience or opinion could be useful for someone who wants to take a decision, just that. So don't flame on my thread and be respectful!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Marvlesz:
Actually, he's right. These kinds of threads are hated. In Q&A, you are free to ask about anything as long as you follow the rules. Now, have you even read the rules? I'd say no, you haven't.

The very first rule on xda says "Search before posting", if you had searched about the most stable version/ROM, you would have come across numerous threads where people are flamed (just like you) for posting this, you will also know that no matter what your reason is, you should not ask about the 'most stable, fastest, best'. Because what you might think is bugless, others might think it is not. What you may like and think is stable, others might think otherwise.

I agree, he shouldn't have flamed, but again, you shouldn't have posted this thread in the first place. :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zenida:
I read and respected the rule of XDA, in fact I know there are several threads about "stable, best, fastest..." but those were too general discussions, I'm just asking about JB because we can state JB is really young but is the most updated version of Android, so I think it's important to have a point of reference on which version of JB could be declared stable as we can do with Gingerbread 2.3.7.

IMHO 4.1.2 seems to be the most stable, and I wanted to have an opinion from others just that.

AND... I can accept your way to say things, because I can understand and follow your advice... BUT I can't accept the way Kameirus answered my post, he was very and unrespectful about me. And the respect must be granted regardless of the XDA's rules!

In addition, I specified in the OP's note, it's important to indicate a point of comparison, to understand the meaning of each judgment, in this way we can get a more objective comparisons. If you say a ROM is more stable than another one, specifying the reasons why you think that we can reduce the subjective factors.

Now, if someone would share his experience I'll read very willingly, otherwise this thread will bump down without any war or flame
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] stevediaz:
Instead of typing all of this u could have told him ROMs u tried. I recommend the pacman rom
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zenida:
Well as I just said I used JB not very carefully, because I'm on NativeSD that is really great, but it share the same fat32 partition so Android folders and app folders are the same for each ROM that you install on it. I think it could gives problems.

I tried a bit the Pacman ROM and it has really nice features, as I already said Android 4.1.2 seems to be more stable than 4.2.2. Or now we can say 4.2.2 is stable as 4.1.2?

Also, I had a good feeling with JellyTime (4.1.2) but it seems not supported a lot from the developer. I would install it for heavy use but I don't want change ROM if problems comes up.

Do you think Pacman could be stated as daily usable? What are its defects? I see it's WIP yet and there's no BUG log on the OPs
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Kameirus:

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] DimeDrl:
It's probably pressure from the network carriers. The service providers want people using smaller built-in memory so they use the cloud more. If users rely on the cloud over local storage, there is a much higher likelihood they'll go over their monthly data cap and get charged for overage. It's likely part of the reason Apple is the only major smartphone manufacturer (that I can think of) that hasn't adopted expandable memory via a MicroSD card slot. A 128GB MicroSD card would allow the majority of people to carry their entire collection of music, videos and pics around. Bandwidth demand would drop and carriers would lose overage revenues.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] XxLostSoulxX:
Yeah but their is a shi* ton of people qho take thousands of pics and videos. Music etc. Unless they go 64GB internal or 128GB internal there is still a need.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] apallohadas:
Disagree.

Carriers aren't making the phones. Carriers do want people to rely on added data usage but don't want to over-burden data plans which is exactly what streaming 128 gigs of media would do if it weren't onboard.

My media collection is just over a terabyte still and I have no desire to try to stream that even on my unlimited data plan.

BTW, HTC is also on this 'no expandable storage' kick for some reason. I think they're just being cheap on components to maximize profit.
