[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Rommie2k6:
Alright,

I'm gonna start a guide for Dopod 900 Extended ROM files. I am using a Dopod 900 bought in Singapore. Information has been gathered from various sources.

EXTENDED ROM CAB FILES IN DOPOD 900

CABs that I installed

CAB-Customization-DopodAsiaWWE-<Insert Telco Name>-Universal-01-02-28Sep05.CAB

From the name, and cross-referencing with the O2 Exec ROM, I think this installs the MMS settings for your phone.

Signed_UNI_DopodTW_UAProf.sa.CAB

I think this also configures some MMS setttings/profiles. Can anyone advice me on which CAB files are really needed for MMS?

Signed_DopodAsia_113150_Conn_<Insert Telco Name>.sa.CAB

Signed_Conn_<Insert Telco Name>_113144.sa.CAB

Both are files actually serve the same feature, just that they have different file names. Installs some kind of telco settings. Can someone help with this?

Signed_AudioDriver_Patch.sa.CAB

From the name, I think it's some kind of audio driver patch.

Signed_Disable_ErrorReport.sa.CAB

Installs the feature (under settings) to disable error reporting. Useful.

Signed_SSD_Shortcut_WWE.sa.CAB

Installs SIM Manager and Enroller. Not necessary if you don't use these programs (but I think most people do).

Signed_STK_Service_318.sa.CAB

No idea what this does. Help would be appreciated!

Signed_Version.sa.CAB

Allows one to view the Extended ROM version. Not necessary if you don't want this feature (but I think most people do).

UPdate4.CAB

Absolutely no idea what it does. Help would be appreciated!

CABs that I did NOT install

Signed_UNI_AutoConfig_21100.sa.CAB

Installs the AutoConfig feature (under settings). Not necessary if you only use one telco (which applies to most people).

Signed_DopodAsia_113183_RemoveConn.sa.CAB

Removes the telco settings applied by the Autoconfig program I mentioned above.

Signed_DopodAsia_113173_Cuss_v32_non_CHAP.sa.CAB

Signed_DopodAsia_113173_Cuss_v110_tr_PAP.sa.CAB

No idea!!! Can anyone please help in identifying this? I think they're related to the telco settings...

CAB-Shortcut-Dopod-Asia-31Aug05.CAB

Installs MIDlet Manager and Clearvue PDF reader. Not necessary if you don't use those programs.

Enable_VT_RTPlugin_0727_2_signed.CAB

Installs Video Call function and Phone Skin Plug-in. Not necessary unless you have 3G and make video calls. Read that it takes up quite a lot of system resources too.

Signed_cvc-ppc-dpd-900-usa.CAB

Installs the Cyberon Voice Commander programme. Not necessary unless you use voice recognition/commands.

Signed_pIE_Favorite113144.sa.CAB

From the name, I think it installs some Pocket IE favourites. Not necessary.

Signed_Portal_113144.sa.CAB

From the name, I think it configures the Pocket IE default homepage. Not necessary.

Signed_UNI_pIE_View(Default).sa.CAB

Modifies some Pocket IE settings. What exactly... I have no idea. I used a custom CAB file instead - see below sections.

universal_stream_singtel_eng_signed.CAB

Installs a media streaming program/function from Singtel (a Singapore telco). Not necessary if you don't use it.

USEFUL EXTENDED ROM FILES FROM OTHER HTC UNIVERSAL DEVICES

Signed_UNI_Remove_BatteryIcon.sa.CAB

Removes the battery icon from the home screen. We all have better battery monitoring programs around.

Signed_SSD_BTUR_Patch_For_BT_Cannot_Initial.sa.CAB

Fixes some BT Headset bug.

Default_Signed_UNI_PictureEnhancement_reg.sa.CAB

Enables tap-hold "Save As..." in Pocket IE. Useful.

USEFUL UNSIGNED CAB FILES

Default_Signed_DisableSecurity.CAB

Allows unsigned CABs to be installed.

Default_Unsigned_Customized_pIE_View.sa.CAB

Credit goes to BeyondTech for this. Further modified it to tweak Glyph Cache = 16MB, Font Cache = 4MB, File Cache = 4MB and disable Start Menu animation.
