I recently gave up on my old Thunderbolt and moved to the DNA. I had rooted my Thunderbolt the old fashioned way using adb and installing the SDK. It was a ton of reading and a bit scary at the time.

I can tell you that using moonshine was an awesome experience. Very easy to use. Follow the directions and let it do its thing. Very easy.

I am still very cautious and have not put a rom on as of yet because of losing access to my work apps but I have been reading through the NOS thread and leaning towards that.

Good luck!

I like my viper with crpalmer

I have been liking my viper rom 1.3.3 with Crpalmer's Kernel. It has so far proven to be a battery sipper since switching from Nos M7. I would definitely recommend it if you haven't yet.

Hey guys,

Is anyone able to install the Realestate.com.au app on the Sony Xperia Tablet Z?

Also does anyone have the apk for Foxtel Go? Foxtel go is currently only available for Samsung Tabs... Foxtel and Samsung have this deal until the next 6 months...

So would be real keen to get both of these.

Thanks

UPDATE: I managed to download the Realestate app on a Samsung and backedup to SD and copied to my Sony so all is good.

I also found out that Foxtel Go is still not released for Samsung yet.

Thanks

Hey guys i have a mac, and when i run Sony Bridge for updating my (new) tablet, it gives me an error that says the update engine timed out.
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juanyunis:
I see that you have Bridge, i just replied you on another thread lol, anyway did you try OTA? if you still are getting an error, maybe if because you have unlocked your bootloader, if that's not the case then you will have to flash a stock FTF to see if that corrects the issue, or try running PC Companion on a windows virtual machine.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] Sin:

The Radio image is version: 1.18.00

The Extended ROM image is a variance of version 2.06.100a (Sin.Merged.v2.0)

The Extended ROM contains the following:

KNOWN ISSUES:

A choice of either HandsFree or Headset profile is now enabled, please select only one or the other.

NOTE: HandsFree profile is not compatible with all headsets and may disable the headset mic. If this occurs, please re-pair and only choose Headset profile.

INFO: Original files were removed years ago due to forum upgrades, see various posts for alternative downloads.

Open Source

Now, let's pull it apart and see how it all works :lol:

It took quite a few steps to create an "all-in-one" package, however it's shortcoming is that once compiled, it's not easy to add your own cabs or customise your carrier details.

So by pulling it apart, it may allow the more savvy of you to re-create this package to your own requirements and perhaps we can learn a few new things along the way :wink:
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] Sin:
The Base ROM & Radio

Step 1 ~ The Base ROM & Radio

The ROM image is version: 2.06.00WWE (ver 4.21.1088 build 14132)

The Radio image is version: 1.18.00

Here are the minimum files required to install the Base ROM & Radio onto your XDA II

NK.nbf (Base ROM Image)

Radio_.nbf (Radio Image)

HimaUpgradeUt.exe (Setup File)

HimaClearJumpCode.exe (System File)

Download and extract the contents of "WM2003SE_20600WWE.zip" into the same folder on your PC, Insert your XDA II into it's USB cradle (confirm that a successful USB connection has been made) and run HimaUpgradeUt.exe to start the installation.

:arrow: NOTE: The Operator Code is set to "O2" and the Language is set to "WWE" (Western World English). There are a few tools around to change these codes to suit other models, My personal choice is the attached version of EREdit: (no pre-selection of file type is required)
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] Sin:
The Merge

Step 2 ~ The Merge

First, Why Merge?

We currently only have 3 versions of WM2003SE, each with it's shortcomings:

Version 2.20.xxCHS is in Chinese and although it's currently being translated into English, there's still a way to go! :cry:

So let's focus on the two remaining versions, both in English:

Version 2.02.t1WWE

Pro's: Stable with no hangs/delays on reboot, utilizes HandsFree Profile

Con's: Lacks ClearType implementation and Media Player 10

Version 2.06.00WWE

Pro's: ClearType implemented and Utilizes Headset Profile

Con's: Hangs/delays on reboot and no Media Player 10

The good news is that it's possible to obtain the "best of both worlds" by merging the two operating systems. By first flashing your ROM with 2.02.t1WWE and creating an ActiveSync backup, it's possible to then flash with 2.06.00WWE and restore from the backup.

The end result is surprising :shock: - ActiveSync merges the two operating systems! There are no delays/hangs on reboot and ClearType looks great. It's also possible to re-enable Handsfree Profile through a simple registry patch.

________________________________

Here's one I prepared earlier :wink:

No need to flash with 2.02.t1WWE, this backup is ready to restore over 2.06.00WWE!

Quite a few tweaks were made to it prior to backup:

Created "Start Menu" folders: Business, Communications, Games, Graphics, MultiMedia & System

Turned Off incoming IR Beam for GPS compatibility

Mapped Camera Button

Set Word Completion to 4 words after 1 letter (no caps or spaces)

Set Voice Recording to 44,100 Hz, 16 Bit, Stereo

Changed Phone Ring to Vibrate & Ring, set to Terrestrial & Keypad Tones

Turned on Screen Taps

Enabled Today "New Menu"

Turned on Microphone AGC

Set Screen & Power Off to 2mins

Removed merged BT Registry to allow choices later via patch

To restore this backup,

1. Flash your XDA II with 2.06.00WWE.

2. After installation, don't change any of the following default settings: time zone (GMT-8 Pacific US), device name (Pocket_PC) or regional settings (United States), instead setup an ActiveSync partnership (not Guest) and untick all items such as Calendar, Contacts etc... so no items will by Synced.

3. Restore by opening ActiveSync, then clicking "Tools=>Backup/Restore" - browse to the downloaded "Backup.zip" and extract the file "Backup.stg", select it with ActiveSync and then switch to the restore tab, finally clicking "Restore Now".

:!: Provided that the device name & regional settings match the above, ActiveSync restore will merge the 2 versions and prompt you to restart your O2 XDA II.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] Sin:
The Extended ROM

Step 3 ~ The Extended ROM

You now have a merged operating system :D but still need to add at least the basic functionality of MMS, Camera etc...

Each cab file below can be copied to your XDA II's memory/SD card and executed individually, however it would be far easier to bundle everything into the one installation routine.

As most of you know, your XDA II has a hidden partition called the Extended ROM, which (without tweaking) is limited to a capacity of 16MB.

Using an Extended Rom unlocking tool, it's possible to manually copy each cab file and associated system file into the Extended ROM using "File Explorer".

Start by downloading the attached "ExtRom_tools.cab" and copy to your XDA II's memory (Either via ActiveSync or SD Card if you have a Reader). Then execute it by browsing to it with "File Explorer", your Extended ROM will be revealed once you reboot after installation is complete.

You'll notice 4 new icons in your "System" folder. Run "ExtROM Unlock" to allow files to be written and removed.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] Sin:
The Cab Files

I've re-written each of these Cab files to customise their installation routines and ensure compatibility with WM2003SE.

If all are downloaded and placed into Extended ROM, they total 16MB :wink:

Each will place their shortcuts in the approprite category and where possible, settings are pre-configured.

:idea: Rather than running each one individually, copy each file into Extended ROM and wait untill "Step 4" to do the installation.

They're organized alphabetically and items marked with a *, should be considered essential parts of the Extended ROM.

:!: All are tagged as: "Customization Tools" for compatability with any internal cab file "Setup.dll's", If you can't wait till Step 4, don't panic if you run each one manually and are prompted by a "this application already exists" message (doesn't occur when executed by config.txt) - Simply ignore and continue each desired installation!
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] Sin:
AltTab.cab

"AltTab.cab is a utility that can be mapped to any of your buttons, it allows you to switch conveniently between applications.

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] Sin:
AutoConfig.txt

* "AutoConfig.txt" is essential when running AutoConfig.exe (Bundled in AutoConfig.cab). It contains a list of multiple Carriers for you to choose from.

It's an editable text file which should point to individual Carrier .cab .exe files located in your Extended ROM.

The AutoConfig.txt is copied to your windows folder when the files in your Extended ROM are executed by a Config.txt file.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] Sin:

"Blackberry.cab" contains a utility which is found under "Settings" to configure the BlackBerry Service.

Version: 1.2.4.19
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] Sin:
BT_Icon.cab

* "BT_Icon.cab" contains an essential file called "bt_profile.dll" which is copied to your Windows folder and replaces the Bluetooth Headset icon on your today screen.

The original Bluetooth Headset icon likes to play hide'n'seek because it's developers implemented a remote procedure call to constantly check for a non-existant storage space.

This new "bt_profile.dll" only checks upon device startup.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] Sin:
Caller_ID.cab

* "Caller_ID.cab" is an essential addition to your operating system. It's current implementation, version 1.20 (build 17957) allows the assignment of Photo's, Templates, Ringtones and Groups.

I've modified this installation to include the original splash screens upon an incoming call and also included the following renamed templates:

Cat, Carrots, Cola, Dancer, Disco, Heart, Soccer, Stars & Wheels

It's a 2 part program which provides Caller ID information and a GUI called "Photo Contacts" (found under "Start Menu->Business")
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] Sin:
Camera.cab

* "Camera.cab" contains the essential interface required to utilize the XDA II's onboard camera and also provides a program called "Album" ("Start Menu->MultiMedia") which can handle a variety of file types including: .3gp .avi .bmp .gif .jpg .mid .mp4 .sdp .wav .wbm

This version 2.50 (build 15954) is compatible with WM2003SE's landscape mode however, the program's internal Orientation button should be used to switch the interface to landscape mode.

For more details about the program's internal mapped buttons, simply start the camera by clicking on the "Camera icon" placed into "Start Menu->MultiMedia" or use the pre-mapped button on the side of your XDA II, then click on "Tools->[ ?]"
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] Sin:
ClearType_Landscape.cab

"ClearType_Landscape.cab" is a utility that places a file called "TwkCL.exe" into "Windows\Startup" to improve the appearence of ClearType fonts in Landscape mode.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] Sin:
ClearType_Tuner.cab

"ClearType_Tuner.cab" places a utility under "Settings" called "ClearType Tuner" which allows you to increase or decrease the effects of ClearType over your system fonts.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] Sin:
ClearVue.cab

"ClearVue.cab" contains 2 programs, "ClearVue PDF" & "ClearVue Presentation"(ver's 2.4.381a) which allow you to view .pdf & .ppt/.pps files.

I just called it's icons (under "Start Menu->Business") "Acrobat" and "PowerPoint" :lol:
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] Sin:
CMD.cab

* "CMD.cab" is an essential utility that creates a command line interpreter (PocketConsole ver 1.3 over ReactOS ver 0.2) for WM2003SE. It's used later in the installation routine for executing Batch files.

You'll find a "DOS" icon under "Start menu->System" and "CMD Settings under "Settings".
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] Sin:
Config.txt

* "Config.txt" is an essential file that is used in conjunction with AutoRun.exe to automate the installation, copying and execution of files.

It's an editable Text file and reflects the file names stored in your Extended ROM.

If you wish to modify the content of your Extended ROM, the Config.txt file should also be updated to reflect any changes in file names.

:!: Note that in this version, the AutoConfig.exe is deliberately not executed by the Config.txt file.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] Sin:
Connections.cab

"Connections.cab" contains a simple utility in the form of an "O2 icon" placed at the top of your start bar which monitors the status of active connections by changing it's color to Blue!

Jabra 258 BlueTooth sound volume very low

Hi,

I'm using SIN's merge ROM and it rocks! I'm able to pair with my Jabra BT. During a call I can turn ON/OFF handsfree, therefore able to transfer the call to the XDAII's speaker or my Jabra BT without droping the call. I am able to hear the opposite party fine however the opposite party complains that my voice is very soft.

Using ROM 2.06WWE without merging is okay. I am able to pair with my Jabra BT, talk to the other party fine.

Anyone have any idea how to fix this? Thanks.

Sin, great work on the explination. Really helped this n00b along :)

I tried doing the step by step and merging myself, only ActiveSync wont let me restore the backup because it complains it was made on a different device.

So my question the first file posted is like an already merged ROM right? If i cook my own ext.ROM for that the net effect will be the same?

If not anyone any idea where I can get a hold of the 2.02.t1WWE version so I can make a AS backup of it on my own device :)
