The default, out-of-the-box Microsoft alternative, however, is www.yahoo.com so there's no advantage or disadvantage in applying that CAB to the system. I still edit the registry to change the default action to about:blank cos it's useful to be able to press a HW button to end my browsing with a page that I know is not going to call up GPRS while I'm not watching. ;)

Lurking on these forums somewhere is a .reg file that can be applied to the system (using a registry editor like TRE) that sets this key for you, and you can edit the URL to whatever you want. I've attached mine in case anybody else wants the about:blank option.

Getting back to the OT, I just did a hard reset and then a selective install of the ExtROM CAB files, and the only ones I installed were:

CAB:\Extended_ROM\Signed_SSD_BTUR_Patch_For_BT_Cannot_Initial.sa.CAB

CAB: \Extended_ROM\Signed_UNI_Remove_BatteryIcon.sa.CAB

CAB: \Extended_ROM\Signed_UNI_PictureEnhancement_reg.sa.CAB

CAB: \Extended_ROM\Signed_SSD_Shortcut_WWE.sa.CAB

...and my Exec is running perfectly, with loads of available storage space and all the important functionality. I chose CABs that didn't have O2 in the title. The rest is just O2 fannying around with the system for their own nefarious purposes, I think. They just want you to remember that you're their *****! :D Of course, I needed to install Dingo's perfect connections CAB as well (thanks Dingo!).

The only thing I missed out of the O2 Active interface was their Task Manager, but I copied the .exe for this out of the system before I did the hard reset and it works fine as a standalone app on my new clean machine.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] SiliconS:
I quite liked the look of the O2 phone skin as well, but the default MS one works much much better when the Exec is in true VGA mode. Plus, O2 overwrite the 'Call History' button (above the Talk button) with their hardly-ever-used-because-there's-no-3G-signal Video Call button.

The only functionality that seems to be missing from the Phone after I left off all the O2 CABs is the smart dialling. If I tap the 'Menu' soft-button I can choose the 'Smart Dialling Options...' item, but nothing happens. Considering this 'feature' was a waste of time anyway, I don't miss it at all, but others might. It was pointless because you could only press numbers keys to find your contacts. Perhaps HTC/O2 didn't notice that the goddamn Exec has a full bloody keyboard with which I could have typed letters too! :evil: :roll:

So now I'm waiting for Mamaich to develop his WM5-compatible version of his contact-finder. That will be awesome! 8)

(Medium-term lurker first time poster)

Having read this forum for about a month now I decided to do the o2 corporate install on my Exec for performance issues. I've just ported my number over and noticed that MMS wasn't working (It would only download the first 25k of a message). I put it down to the number porting (MMS wasn't enabled on all o2 systems for my account originally so assumed they'd cocked up again).

I rang data support today to find out what was going on, we went through the settings etc and as a last resort the guy said lets do a hard reset. Reluctantly I agreed, as I had everything running smoothly etc. He told me to install the personal setup. Naturally I said look I don't want all this bloatware can we go with the corporate one. He confessed that he didn't have much experience with the Exec but had found on previous XDAs that if you do a corporate install it doesn't install all the necessary MMS settings/executables.

Lo and behold MMS works perefectly now. So long post cut short ;-) Yes there is something in the extended rom which enables MMS. The question is can we isolate it so that we can have performance AND functionality?

Final point: I've spoken to 2 different people in data support and about 20 C/S monkeys. The C/S guys really could learn a trick or two from the 'techies' about C/S, as they've been spot on all the way through.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Dingo:
eyebeebe:

Correct in corporate mode you will not have your MMS settings or any other connection settings. This was why i put together the CAB file that is refered to above. The one that sets up your O2 connection settings only. This does set up the MMS server settings aswell but to add the MMS functionality into outlook you also need the shortcut cab Findus mentions above.

I am not sure exactly what out of the extended rom is or is not installed with a corporate install as i have not explored it yet. I prefer to soft reset before any of that is installed and start off with a vanilla install of WM5.

The reason for listing all the CAB files and what we can determine they do is so people can make an informed choice as to what they install. This method is more complicated but can go a long way to setting your device up to have it running the best you can.

I think basic mode will install most of the extended ROM but just leave off the Active UI stuff. This might be of better use to you. Again i have not really looked to much into that either so i can not say what exactly is or is not installed though.

Hope this helps.

SiliconS:

ROFL, i know exactly what you mean about the 3G, what a great name for that button. I am right on the edge of 3G cover and it is a bit annoying for data connection as i keep swapping networks. I find it best to just fix to the GSM network in the phone settings.

I just checked the phone app and i have both "hardly-ever-used-because-there's-no-3G-signal Video Call button" and Call History. They are both stuck between Talk and Speed Dial
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] eyebeebe:
Dingo:

I'd seen your CAB and I must say it looked very useful but I'd already installed the corporate version and setup my data settings when it was first posted.

Regarding which install to use I've tried each of the three options and let them run through to the end. The corporate one is by far the quickest and leanest version in my subjective opinion. The corporate install does integrate the MMS box with Outlook. Unfortunately that wasn't the problem I was having.

In both instances (when I first got the phone and had the basic installation and recently with the corporate install) The phone would appear to upload/download the first 25K of any MMS. All other data services were functioning perfectly.

Originally having been thouugh all the settings for MMS, My ISP and My Work Network the Data Support worker went away for a couple of hours gave me a call back and asked me to try sending receiving again and it worked fine. He told that Not all of the systems at O2 are integrated and apparently my account hadn't been enabled properly one one of them.

Yesterday I was told that the systems fault above can't have been the problem. We tried changed a few of the settings (port from 8080 to 9002 etc) and eventually decided on a hard reset. I now have a slow Exec with working MMS, which isn't an essential feature tbh but has its uses.

Having thought about it some more I'm wondering whether it is a 3rd party app which was conflicting and it's actually a clean install which has fixed everything. I shall experiment over the weekend with various clean installs and the CABS in the ext. ROM and report back.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] findus:
Hi,

I did a vanilla install and installed the non o2 cabs, plus CAB_Shortcut_o2UK_22Aug05.CAB

Enable_VT_RTPlugin_0727_2_signed.CAB

VT_DisableOK_O2_0830_signed.CAB

Plus dingo's great connections cab. I had to install the 2 VT cabs to enable video calling ( crappy gimmick i know but i like to show my mates what video calling looks like!!!) MMS now works perfectly along with everything else and I have over 29 Mb Program memory after a soft reset! Brilliant!

Thanks guys,

eyebeebe:

Thanks for the info. Its good to know corporate installs the essential CABs too. The one cause for concern though is it may also install the active stuff but just not set it up for running.

I really wish sprite would hurry up with their backup software. It makes life a lot easier when constantly hard resetting etc. I could then make a backup of my nice working system and once i finsish testing restore that backup.

Sorry you can not get MMS working other than a full install. Hopefully it was just a glitch or as you say 3rd party soft. It will be good to hear the results of your testing.

Findus:

Good News, glad to hear your running ok & and hopefully a lot smoother.

There is a great little file browser called total commander that will allow you to view your Extended ROM. Really good if you need to access any of your non installed cabs when your on the move. There is a post here somewhere that links to it. Just type Extended_ROM in the space and they will appear. Unfortunatly it will not let you manipulate any of them just run them.

But can someone tell me what .cab should I install in other for my O2 Exec works free of bug(hopefully)? (I'm not on O2 contract so I think I don't need O2 Active on mine)

I just got the Exec today, that's why I'm looking around for info to get start with my toy, I think I will go for the Corporate room, do you guys have any suggestions?

Thanks any reply,

are you getting the exec on o2

I have a uk exec and have flashed various roms and tried many installs I think I have found what works.. I can send you all the cab files you need top run,, however I am trying to create the extended rom which will be the easiest way. If I get the answers I wil create it and you can have it.

It then will be in personal install without all the o2 crap and it is by far the fastest I have seen one of these things run

SOS With orange swiss cabs

Dear All,

I am not sure I am writting in ther correct place so please advise if I am not,

Dear All,

let me explain to you what I have done exactly,

My Universal had az french system and I managed to back up my extended rom and then backed my bootloader and system using your method

I then installed UNI_Qtek_WWE_11364_151_10300_S hip.exe for the English ROM, is this the best one to install

I ran the procedure as you said but I dod not decode then encode the system before upgrading using the buz net procedure and tool.

so when I got done i un covered the rom and then deleted all what was in it and copied in the the o2 rom.

Is this correct or do i need to also install the security cab you attached as well before the o2 rom.

I would like to have my old cutomization which is the orange swiss one as it has all my customizations but with the o2 look how do I do that

The TV on the orange system was working but in the o2 the programme for the video streaming is not there. I installed the o2 ext rom then the orange Cabs but, the connection settings were not restored to the orange one but the DV player for streaming TV appeared as a programme but there was a n error message about it missing files and or not having a certificate

can any one help

[Moto X Q&A] Oaklands:
I'm thinking about buying an X this week while I can still root. I'm coming from a razr maxx. I would like to go with another maxx but the extra $100 seems a bit steep. That along with many seem to think the 5" screen takes away from the crispness of the screen. Also it seems there are a few features better on the X.

Did any of you compare the 2 phones before making your decision? What made you go with the X over the maxx other than price?

Thanks for your replies.
[Moto X Q&A] bisbers:
I just exchanged my Maxx to get the MotoX last night. While the battery was great (and I'm sure I'd appreciate wireless charge/extra space), the moment I had the X in my hand it just felt right - the size and design is just perfect. The maxx was too large to hold *confidently* in one hand (I got used to it, but surely would eventually drop) and had sharp edges. Also the capacitive buttons are 1. always super bright which looks weird in the dark and 2. there is no menu button, so apps with older-style menu eats the screen with just a menu. The maxx is a great device with some nice features, but was the better phone for my needs.
[Moto X Q&A] capathy21:
I didn't have the choice since I am on AT&T but I have played with the Max and if given the choice would choose the X. Also if you are upgrading/adding a line, Best Buy has the Verizon Moto X for 99 bucks right now which is a great deal.
[Moto X Q&A] Oaklands:
Thanks for the heads up. I will probably go out to Verizon and look it over this evening, then go to Best Buy tomorrow, if I like it, to purchase.
[Moto X Q&A] Oaklands:
Made my trip to Verizon today. I was really disappointed with the new line of Motorolas. I started using motorola phones back in the days of the startac. I switched 2 times, once to an HTC (not too bad and back before iPhones and Androids) and Samsung (also before the new stuff and the same bad reception). I just didn't see the X being much improvement over my razr maxx. I'm going to give the LG G2 a try. I'll have a couple weeks to give it a try. The signal was on a 5 and the X was on a 4 at the store. Good reception is important as I need it as a phone first for business and all the other features 2nd.

I know the bars don't always tell the story but I couldn't run db tests. The big, clear screen made a nice addition for my aging eyes.

I appreciate everyone's input.
