[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] veletron:
Here's a list of all the cabs that are installed on an MDA Pro. I am trying to find out what they do. Most of the ones I have filled in are thanks to 'Dingo' who has done this for the XDA Exec extended rom.

Signed_UNI_TMO_WiFi_SSID.sa.CAB

Adds a load of hotspot SSID's to 'Configure Wireless Networks' in settings

Signed_SSD_Shortcut_WWE.sa.CAB

Links for sim card manager and enroller

Signed_Service_Icon_Order.sa.CAB

Unsure - perhaps defines the preference order of networks when roaming? Could not see any changes after installing.

Signed_UNI_TMO_Connection_112100.CAB

Adds connection 'T-Mobile Internet' and 'T-Mobile Internet CS' to settings-->Connections. CS=Circuit Switched Data, ie 9600bps

Signed_Disable_GPRS_Autoattach.sa.CAB

I believe this causes that horrible 'are you sure' dialogue every time you try and go online.

Signed_LongDTMF.sa.CAB

Under settings, personal, phone, keypad, sets the keypad option to 'long tines'

Signed_UNI_TMO_UAProf.sa.CAB

See link at end (XDA Exec thread on same subject)

Signed_USIM.sa.CAB

Unknown. Did not notice any changes

UNI_BrowserPerformance.sa.CAB

I assume this speeds up browsing! Perhaps setting cache settings, I dont know.

Signed_Version.sa.CAB

Sets the version no for the extended from in the device information

Signed_UNI_TMO_Setting_111100.CAB

Pah, dunno!

CAB-Customization-TMUK-Universal-01-03-04Aug05.CAB

Adds T-Mobile MMS Settings

CAB-DATEmail-Universal-TMOUK-22Ju105-DataBase.CAB

Localisation settings, I believe (makes clock 24hr)

CAB-Shorcut-TMOENU-08Aug05.CAB

It also sets up outlook to have an MMS account. If you want MMS, then you'll need this (pitty you get other ****e dragged along with it tho!)

It also sticks a link for the elatepushservice (what the heck is this?) in /windows/startup. This link will fail to load anything since the files are installed as a part of the cab: TMO_UK_UI_0727_signed.CAB just remove the shortcut!!

While you're at it, kill the sddeamon file in startup also. This is the thing that mythers you as to whether you want to view the pics on an SD card when you insert it.

Dont kill the pocket outlook shortcut tho - doing so will mean that pocket outlook has no MMS folders.

This also installs the links 'clearvue PDF' and 'EmailWiz' Again, the targets of these links are installed as part of TMO_UK_UI_0727_signed.CAB so trash the links if you are not interested in these features.

Enable_VT_RTPlugin_0727_2_signed.CAB

Registry changes and XML settings see XDA Exec thread, link @ end. Read elsewhere that this adds/enables the video call functionality.

TMO_UK_UI_0727_signed.CAB

Files For T-Mobile plugin & Other stuff 'elate push service' etc

TMO_UK_UIShortcut_Plugin_signed.CAB

Shortcut for t-mobile today screen plugin (so it appears in 'items' on today screen)

TMO_MMSNotifySound_0805_Signed.CAB

Sets the sound for a received MMS ;-)

TMO_UK_pIE_0807_Signed.CAB

I assumed that this set Pocket IE home page, but it does not appear to do a thing!

TMO_pIE_HardKey_0810_Signed.CAB

Makes the (t) button on the keyboard point at PIE with tmobile home page

TMO_Streaming_0729_Signed.CAB

I had assumed that this added the Streaming icon to programs, but it seems not!

XDA Exec Thread On Same Subject: http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=32527&highlight=extended+rom

I'll install the cabs manually when I get time and see what they do.

Note: I installed the imate rom (soft resetting before the imate ext rom got installed!) and then went through the Tmobile ext rom clicking each in turn in the install order from the config file, reporting the results above.

The t-mobile theme comes from the file \windows\t-mobile-tsk, this is loaded as the default theme. Its the first thing the t-mob ext rom does when it installs. I did not install this (dont have the files) I dont know whether some of the later cabs rely on this being present or not (as you'll see above, some of em did not appear to do anything...!)

If someone could post the file /Windows/T-Mobile.tsk I would be most grateful!

I also noticed that in the email app, no MMS account has appeared. But I do have the MMS server defined!

I'm gonna reset again and see whats in the imate ext rom!
