Churchill:

You wrote a few things about Extended ROMs, Code 0506 (for o2 Corp. mode?), and about bypassing the extended ROMs.

Also there was a mention of bluetooth and radio Cabs...

I would be obliged if you could elaborate and explain them to me.

I have the o2 Exec and would like to experiemnt with the corp. mode since I find that in personal mode it freezes up all too often (not enough memory I guess...) but I wouldn't like to loose essential functionality by changing my ROM.

Thanks in advance
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Churchill:
Well I am right now updating my MDA PRo from JasJar Rom to O2 ROM, since I still think the O2 ROM was a notch faster in the corporate mode.

I would not advice you to bypass the extended rom install as I found that some things do not work properly like the sim manager and pdf.

You are fine with the Corporate mode since it is the cleanest of all options including the JasJar.

Also Pocket MSN is more responsive in the O2 corporate mode, then with JasJar ROM.

So just go ahead and do a hard reset and choose corporate mode with the code 0506.

By the Way as I have already mentioned earlier the Boot splash screen of O2 is the best till now. Funny is that I was called by T-Mobile representative a couple of days ago and asked what I think about the MDA PRO. I have told him that MDA PRO with t-mobile customization is history by me and I am running JasJar. He warned me that if something happens to my device they can not help me now since there is no t-mobile rom available to flash it with (I do not understand that where is the release rom? did they loose it or something?) but I am still eligible for my 2 year warranty. He also asked why I have switched to JasJar, I have told him that the t-mobile customisation is crap and that the device was slow and unstable. He confirmed that and also saysd that this is exactly the reason why he is contacting me, since they aparently received a threat from one of the major consumer organisations in the netherlands. So he sayd that they are verifying the isue with the users and it does not look good since everybody complains. So hopefully t-mobile will release new rom soon...

Funny is that I have mentioned to him that I hate the hideous colors and boot splash screen of t-mobile rom, his answere was that the boot splash screen they are extremely proud of since it took a long time to come up with the design.... DUDE how long can it take to come up with something so hideous?

Anyhow....

P.S. I let you guys know how is my MDA PRo with O2 ROM

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Wiz:
The O2 Exec has OS 1.13.48, which has a memory leak bug. Commontime mNotes synchronization cannot free the memory after use, so a 3rd consecutive sync empties out all remaining RAM. This was resolved in OS version 1.13.53, which is on the Jasjar.

Yes, the Exec ROM seems a tad faster, but at least for me the memory leak is decisive for the Jasjar ROM.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] apap:
Jasjar or O2?

Wiz, have you reverted to Jasjar? Also, I do not quite understand the memory leak problem. Does this mean that there is a danger of losing note information? Finally, any suggestions on how to resolve the inability to add new programs? Does this problem occur only with Jasjar?

Thanks, apap

I am installing the Radio 1.04.10 right now. I'll let you all know what are my findings
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] N1TeSH1FT:
Have it running since 2 days. Works fine till now. :-)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Churchill:
OK the Radio 1.04.10 works fine...

I have another problem and I am not sure i know what caused it:

Now camera stoped working. I have assigned the camera HW button to none as it gets pressed accidentiealy. now I am trying to star the camera and it hangsjust the windows square with the colors turning and turning and turning. I let it turn for about 5 minutes after which I get a popup telling me that the cmara.exe is corrupt or could not be found or not signed with trusted certificate, you might need to restore the application (from where ?) The worst part is that all the programs I installed say the same thing after that. If I do a soft reset the other programs function as normal.

The thing is that I am not sure the radio upgrade is responcible for it.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Churchill:
OK I flashed the device with the Radio 1.04.02 and the camera still does not work
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Churchill:
can anyone confirm if the latest O2 ROM in corporate mode with code 5060 Camera is working ??

Thanx

Where can I get that?

And have any of you try a software called CALL SMS Blocker or something like that?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] PDAholic:
Well, I finally made the plunge and upgraded the ROM to the new O2 MDA (from latest iMate ROM). Can't say it feels much faster. MAYBE screen rotation, but it's hit-or-miss (sometimes seems faster, sometimes not). I sure do miss the good ole days of wm2003 (never thought I'd say it!).
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Churchill:
OK a small summary.

I am on the latest O2 ROM in corp mode.

the ring sounds instantly when called. With the radio version 1.04.10 my battery consumption is much , much better, I almost do not run out of juice anymore. But again I have a brodit active holder in the car, expansys cradle in the office. But I stopped loading it overnight. Also the device with BT on, after 24 hours of just lying there, lost only 2 percent of power reserve, which is impressive, and I have not shat down all the programs that were running!!!!!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Churchill:
The New German ROM!

Anyone running it already is it with or without MSFT, AKU2.

Me personally, I am waiting for MSFT, the AKU2 is less important.

Whoever is running it please report, since I do not speak any german (and as I understand the OS is in German) I am not going to install it.

Installation errors on SD Card

Dear Readers,

I am really thankful to members here that with their posts I was able to upgrade my JJ with latest O2 rom which is no doubt is much faster than JJ.

But at the same time I am facing a problem which is

When I try to install programs (dozens and dozens with cracks/serials) I get an error "_____ (program) can not be installed on card".

Can anybody help me to resolve the following issue.

Regards,

Happy with new O2 ROM

Hi there! I got t-mobile ROM as well.

@Churchil, do you prefer O2 exec ROM more than t-mobile mdapro ROM?

If yes I would like to try it. Where I can find ROM files?

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] julius_wang1984:
@Churchill

Hi,

I agree with you that the 1.13.82 is fantastic. And with the Radio 1.08.00, My Exec works as fast as my MDAII.

However, Since I am using an Chinese Platform (Adding a language tool), My Exec sometimes hanging and do not respond to anything, especially when there is a incoming SMS...

Do you have any idea how to solve this? I have flashed my Radio but without luck. It still hangs... I will make sometime to try just using the Original ROM without any Chinese Supports....

BRs.

Julius
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Churchill:
julius_wang1984!

I am afraid that your device has the same sickeness many here have freeze on SMS receive, How to solve it I am afraid We do not know how. Hopefully the future ROMs solve the problem.

I have now something else: I was on vacation and before I left I have pumped my 1 GB SD card full with Music only to find out once I have arrived at my destination that the Media PLayer does not work. No error message nothing it just does not start....

I am sure a hard reset shall solve the problem but am waiting till the 23rd as of the roumors that iMate might be coming with a new ROM...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] monakh:
It's been three months, I am kinda surprised to see that there's no newer O2 ROM update for the Exec. What's up with that?

I wish there was a ROM update with at least one carrier with ALL the improvements in one place.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] moghisi101:
Hey Guys

i-mate should be releasing their AKU2 update tomorrow (hopefully):

http://msmobiles.com/news.php/4955.html

It should sort out at least a few of our problems. There is also going to be another ROM update in a month or two, after that.

Bye
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Churchill:
Can't wait.

I have been delaying to Hard reset my MDA PRO (windows media PLayer does not work) for more then a week in anticipation of the release of a new ROM. So as soon as it is out I am going to install it even before the reviews of others.

So stay tuned as I am going to use the bew ROM together with Exchange SP2 and first thing I am going to try is the remote wipe feature, I just can't wait to see how the device Hard resets in front of your eyes just like magic. And of course the long avaited push mail AGGGGGGGRRRRRRR..
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] cktlcmd:
You might be in for a long wait. I don't beleive anything they say. I normally expect the new ROM to be out 2 months after their target date. :(
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] moghisi101:
You may be right. This update was supposed to be out on the 23rd!

Let's just hope i-mate stick to their word (I personally hate their thieving guts, but that's just me)

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Churchill:
It did by me
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Churchill:
Well Boys & Girls!!!!

I have just installed and configured my MDA-PRO with the leaked iMATE ROM (see this link http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=42743)

MSFP is in it as some of the members have noted. I had no problem configuring the device to use Push Mail with my exchange server 2003 SP2. You can set the peak times and then can deside how often the messages are checked. this works actually instantly. The 3G/GPRS connection is always on, but if you disconnect it will reconnect after a short while.

Of course I have right away started testing the server side options. My device did not have a password and what I did was turn on the option "Enforce passwords on devices" in device security. I got immediately a message from AS on the device that Sync has failed and when you click on I got a message :

"Sinc cannot continue unless Exchange Server security policies are applied.

To apply them. start sync and allow the pollicy change at the promt. Support code 0x8503002C"

So I initiate sync again and get the following promt:

"Exchnage Server must enforce security policies on your device to continue suncing. Do you want to continue? "

I hit OK and then after a few seconds I have the following promt:

"Recent policy updates require that you renew your password settings. Press OK to continue."

I hit OK again and have the Paaword settings screen in front of me. The box for Promt if device is not used for is grey and is checked and the time is set to 5 minutes (that is what I have set on the Exchange Server). I type in the password and then I am back at the AS screen where you can hit Sync again to sync the device. Now I have left the device untouched for 5 minutes and when I turn it on again I get prompted to enter my password to continue.

Now I have decided to test the Remote Whipe functionality.

I have logged into the Mobile Admin on my Exchange Server (a webbased tool) and found my device and ordered a remote whipe: 11 seconds later my device was whiped out while I was holding it in my hands. This what the Mobile Admin says:

"Wipe initiated 3/3/2006 2:26:59 PM

Sent to device 3/3/2006 2:27:09 PM

Device acknowledged 3/3/2006 2:27:10 PM

Wipe operation completed successfully!"

Please note the Times, it is a matter of seconds. And it feels a bit like magic :)

So I am off to configure my device for the second Time today and am going to come back to you all with some performance reviews.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Churchill:
I have left my Universal for 25 Hours with the PUSH Mail on and the battery drainage was the following.

90% to 36% in 25 hours (no phone calls were placed at all and I have not touched the device, I did have 16 messages that came in)

pdf readers

You can also use Repligo's latest software to read pdf files. The good thing about this reader is that it reflows the text so that you can easily read a pdf file.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Churchill:
OK I aback and running on O2 ROM, Do not notice the memory leak as described by Wiz.

The speed is a tad faster then JasJar, but I have to use the device for awhile to really see if it really is faster. At least for now I do not have the problem of the Start menu taking 10-12 seconds to open like i had on the JasJar ROM. But we see what will happen later on.

And I can confirm the following... The O2 ROm in Corporate mode does have the Pocket MSN and DOES NOT have Clearview PDF reader.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] apap:
Jasjar or O2?

I have never managed to get Skype to work on Jasjar. Does skype work on O2 corporate?

This could make the difference for me because speed has not been a problem once I installed jasjar without extended rom.

Also, has anyone using an O2 corporate install had any problems removing or adding programs?

thanks, apap
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] rokujou:
The PDF reader for o2 comes on the CD INCLUDED WITH THE DEVICE and doesn't appear to be on the extended rom. Not in basic or corporate mode anyways. ClearVue isn't free, btw :P I'm sure Adobe will have an update out soon.

Some people are saying JasJar ROM some people are saying Exec ROM i'm a bit confused.

I get around a 10 second delay when i flip my screen up and switch on my device. Also - is it normal for the device to show 45 mb of ram and 41mb of storage? i thought the exec was supposed to have 64 ram and 128 storage... maybe i was wrong...

rokujou
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Churchill:

Is ther a way you could PM me the PDF reader from the CD ?? that is of course if you have one..

D'oh! Many apologies to anyone who downloaded from adobe on my advice... :oops: I *have* an Exec, but promised that I wouldn't open it until christmas!

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] apap:
Churchill,

Do you have any problems removing and adding programs on O2? Does your skype work?

Thanks, apap
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Churchill:
I got hold of the Clearview PDF reader from the O2 CD... Thanx one of you...

But when I try installing itI get the following on my device:

"Unable to install application. Please update your device ROM to the required version before trying again."

What the F**** does that mean, does it have to do with the fact I have chosen the Corporate install ??

And to answere apap's question I am able to add remove programs (well besides the stupud PDF) and I have installed skype and it works.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] apap:
Churchill,

Thanks for your reply. On your pdf reader problem you might want to try repligo. Though it will not open a pdf file directly on your pocket pc it will alow you to transfer pdf files from your pc in a repligo format which is quite nice for reading (indeed better than clearvue which does not reflow text) . Here's the url http://www.cerience.com/viewers/pc.php .

I will now take the plunge and try O2 corporate version.

apap
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Churchill:
thanx but I do not need to take the pdf files with me, I want to be able to read them in case I receive them per mail.

Go for the corp mode and let us know how it went.

BTW if you install SKYPE I have a small issue with it which is discribed here: http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?p=182095#182095

good luck
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] apap:
Churchill,

Have followed your advice and I am now on O2 exec corporate. So far (a day's use) this seems a more stable and faster rom configuration than the jasjar. Skype works (I never could get it to work on Jasjar). Also, so far, no problems adding and removing programs. Clearly this seems to be a better rom for me.

Let me know if you solve the pdf problem so that I might try an install as well.

Thanks, apap
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Churchill:
As of now I have no solution for PDF problem...Alais

Do you also experience the dalay of 10-14 seconds when you click the start menu after you have soft reset the device?

By me this is an issue with Skype installed
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] apap:
Update:

Yes I do see some delay after soft reset but I have not timed it.

Also, it turns out that skype is not working after all. This is likely to be due to some program I added. It opens, signs in, and then it closes. I have tried both the default skype and the latest download pocket pc skype.

Otherwise, I am still more satisfied than with jasjar.

Any tips on skype?

I am using the Qtek 9000. This is quite a stable machine. It does not seem to have the problems of JASJAR. Clearvue comes with the machine. Even if I do a hard reset, the software is still there.

Apap!

I have a solution for the PDF reader, We all have to thank "astage" as he has made this possible for everyone, So please thank him....

I am attaching a zip file where you can find all the files needed for the PDF reader, plus the registry entries which you have to merge with the registry on your device. This is meant for the installation on the Storage card. Just place the file in the same folders on your device/storage card and then import the registry. After tah ttry opening a PDF file you will get a message that the file type is unknown and in Resco explorer you get to choose which program should be used with the pdf files choose Clearvue PDF and put a V in the always use this program for this filetype.

Works Like a CHARM
