I’m waiting for my new T-Mobile MDA to get here. In the meantime, I’ve gathered a few useful links:
- How to back up and restore ROM images on the Wizard (and still more on the same topic)
- The Wizard tweaks wiki
- This thread on essential free downloads for the Wizard
- A great review of the Cingular 8125 (same device, different carrier), with details on customization and tweaks
- A comprehensive set of notes from a guy who switched to the MDA from a Treo and wanted to customize the MDA for as much one-handed operation as possible
Before the device gets here, I need a new cert for my Exchange FE (some WM5 devices don’t like self-signed certs), and I have a few dozen things to download to prep the install 🙂 In particular, my first step will probably be to put an MSFP ROM on the device so I can use DirectPush. That will be invaluable when I travel.
Update: just ordered a 2GB miniSD card for the MDA, which got here about 30 minutes ago. I’m backing up the ROMs right now preparatory to installing the MSFP AKU2 image.

Where did you get the AKU2 ROM image?
you have a pretty good compilation of hacks and such. you can also check out http://www.mdahacks.com for a growing compilation. it would be good to also reference that thread about network registration woes that some have with the phone (myself included!)
