hi guys,
Does anybody know if it is possible to change the language of the MDA Compact from German to English?
because i'd like to order one, but i dont want to be stuck wit this german language on my device.
thanks.
See some of the other forums for more details...But, to answer you question... Yes, you can flash the English ROM which should be available later this week from nowicom (which is where I assume you are buying MDA Compact???

What if I buy a German one from some other place. Can I still flash it with the Nowicom software?
Not sure. Where are you going to buy???

I'm not sure. Does it matter though? It the same hardware isn't it?
No. I'm just curious b/c I had a hard time finding a place to buy. :? nowicom is about the only place where I found it "in stock".
Can I download the german version from somewhere just in case the english upgrade of nowicom won't work?
Hey Katsj I ordered from nowicom based on some of your comments. Anyway, I just took a risk and have no idea how to flash the English ROM. The support at nowicom said it was a simple update and said she didn't know how to do it either :shock: Although, she said that she would find out tomorrow. My device should be shipped tomorrow
Mike believe me flashing a pocket pc its extremely easy! My MDA compact will be shipped tomorrow with UPS Express I asked for the fastest way and I am willing to pay the 92 euros for the next day delivery!
I will let you know as soon as I flash mine and I will give you all the details!

No, that's not what I mean.
I mean, does it matter where you buy it as it's the same hardware?
I'm just thinking that many people will be buying from German websites as that seems to be the only plave it's available in Europe.

I knew what you meant. :wink: But, I'm afraid I don't know the answer. Hopefully, more info on this will be posted by some others that are in the know!!
@katsj: Could you upload the English MDA Compact ROM, or even better:
Intellidialer.cab, Intellipad.cab (in ExtRom) and cprog.exe (in windows) . . . .
If I get the english rom then I will upload all the extended rom files. Nowicom didnt send us a link as they promised today!
Thanks! Looking forward to that! 8)
can someone, who have the compact in german already, post the german ROM files please?
Just had e-mail from nowicom saying that the english rom won't be availble until Monday now.
I'm not sure if I believe them.

I don't understand why you wouldn't believe them. You think they're lying?
Idem for the Nowicom E mail: available Monday
here's the answer from Nowicom to my last email (one hour ago) :
Hello,
we are still working on it. It could be that we have it today or during the weekend. It is not sure that it takes until monday. As soon as it is available, we will send it around.
Hi,

O2 are really starting to disappoint me with their tardiness. and I work for them.
It has been confirmed as on its way but with no ETA. I hope it has radio rom .9 and the more responsive os build

Today they emailed me a "change" in their terms and conditions, and linked to a lengthy Ts&Cs page. Trouble is, they don't highlight what has changed and I have no patience to re-read the entire thing.
Same here, new contract, don't you hate it when they do that, I always feel like they are trying to hide something by sending the entire contract without pointing out exactly what has been added or changed! Perhaps it's just paranoia on my part <twitch>
I am hoping that the wait for the new O2 rom will mean we will all be pleasantly suprised at it's content, but don't hold your breath. I can just see it now on XDA Developers when it is released... "Why did we have to wait so long for this new ROM, it's crap!"
Oh well, figers crossed
Regards
There is a new build currently in test, based on the 1.30 ROM and 1.09 Radio stack. It will be without A2DP functionality.

o2 atom
when will it be out? i read on ppcsg.com that the latest rom will be out in 2-3 wks time....
i have a wifi problem with atom....hope the new rom will solve it...
If all goes as expected then your timescales are acurate :wink:
Jumped ship to iMate rom for the time being 8)
How is the imate ROM going? Is your Exec fast, more stable etc?
Cheers

I just e-mailed o2 and was told the following:
the new ROM should be released over the coming weeks and will be posted at www.my-xda.com when available.

Pretty good, screen switching is faster than O2, phone signal seems pretty stable. Can't comment on the memory leak issues, because I'm not sure when the memory is being used for cache or when it is really leaked.
WiFi network finder has some nice changes, LIST of available networks now shows signal strength too, and alarms now have a "dismiss until 5 mins before event" thing - neat!
Thanks Doody, I think I'll give it a go tonight.

I have it on very good authority it will ship with a2dp.
and o2 are saying it will in emails they have sent to other people on these forums.

So are you saying O2 is not going to release an update with A2DP support?
if they dont and there are a number of us on the forum with mails from O2 to the contrary then we can roast them for misleading us.
trapper:
I did not man to cause any confusion.
I have been lead to belive by a "friend" that a2dp will be supported. I will say no more about my friend.
emails. I have read more than 1 post on these forums that o2 have emailed people to say it will suport a2dp.
what is there to be confused about ?
Why did you get roasted at work for mentioning this forum ?
Can anyone tell me which one is the latest English QTEK ROM available?
I tried looking on myqtek.com but i'm assuming they wont accept my IMEI, so i had a look on the XDA FTP, and i couldnt work out which was the newest one (coinciedentally, when was the newest one released, and is there a newer one on the verge of release?)
Thanks!
That's the one.

Thanks alot
Are there any known 'issues' with this ROM?
Is there already a thread discussing this ROM, i cant see one if there is
thanks again
Gah, i just tried to install that ROM (on a UK MDA Pro) and i got this error:
ERROR 120: COUNTRY ID ERROR
The ROM image that you are trying to use is not designed to work on your device. Please
check the vender Web site and download the correct ROM update.

Yes, the Boot loader screen looks blank with "Version 1.XX" at the bottom.
Sweet, i've just flashed my MDA Pro with the latest QTEK ROM..... seems really good so far...... alot faster than the CRAPPY T-Mobile ROM!
If it's fixed the problem i was having with the T-Mobile ROM, then i'll be very happy
Fingers crossed!

Seems pretty good so far, and quite a bit faster than the latest T-Mobile ROM. Haven't encounted the crashing problems i had with that ROM either, so fingers crossed, it'll be OK now! (although i won't hold my breath!)
I just need to skin it up now I hate the crappy standard blue windows theme (i kinda liked the pink+grey t-mobile one lol)
Another nice ROM is JWright's Modified ROM, which is a modified QTEK ROM. Personally, I think Jwright's ROM is better than QTEK's, because I experienced the lag problem in using the BT headset when I have QTEK's ROM on my exec. I switched to Jwright's ROM, and the BT lag issue disappered, I added some files from T-Mobile and it's the best so far.

Cool, well once i've confirmed that the crashing issue is totally gone (by sending alot more txts & e-mails) i'll probably start thinking about customising it a bit
I've seen some really nice skins around, especially that Windows Vista one..... i just gotta figure out how to install it lol

OH MY GOD I DROPPED MY PHONE TODAY!!!!!!!!!
rofl omg im so pissed at myself :'(
Stupid cheap crappy plastic case.... it's sooooooooo deeply scratched and dented
Luckily it still works fine, and the screen/keyboard/buttons aren't damaged.. but still........ really annoying
Anyway, as for the speed... from my experience so far, the QTEK is faster
I m now using the latest O2 ROM. It the latest version of the OS. So, one shall try the O2 rom in corporate mode(0506)
Well i totally give up now, i've got the EXACT same problem using this QTEK ROM, so i'm assuming it's either a problem with the hardware (memory?!) or the OS......
so pissed off right now...... i have a externally and internally ****ed phone! HORRAY!!!!!

Now that Crossbow is on other devices, any chance someone can mod it for Artemis?? Please.
I second that
I third that! Please o Please great geniuses!
Though i am not an expert, i really doubt that this is possible?! It was also not possible to get WM5 on WM2003 Devices... but i will be glad to be proven wrong

Technically it would be possible.
But we all depend on the manufacturers. If they don't supply us with upgrades, there's no way we can upgrade. So asking for it is of no use.

You could look to the magician forum and the number of threads there sugesting the release or possible release of the WM 5 update for the Magician.
But it never came.
If it comes it wil. There's no point to ask for is if it comes out it wil be on this site and forum. Its just foolish jiberish to keep asking for it. Its the same as all the people asking for an hack for the Hero devivce to enable wifi. But its simply not possible. But there are already 20 threads suggesting it....

yea! who are u to decide weather this thread is to be closed or not!!!
If u are not open enough to discussions, then what is the meaning of u hanging around in this forum!
Today, my cousin had just installed the WM6.0 in his O2 Xda MiniS, and when i saw it, i was thrilled! its super fast! it looks real cool, and the contacts, dialer and inbox are wonderful!
only thing is it requires Activesync 4.50 beta to sync.
The WM6.0 is testing roms are out for the Universal and the Mini S, and soon i hope someone comes up for the Artemis too!
Yeah, if ya don't ask, ya don't get!! Somebody might be sat at home with the rom we want, thinking no one else is bothered, so they keep it to themselves. I know there is several differences between Artemis & Phophet, but might it be possible to flash with 1 of there Roms?? Just asking!!?? No need to bite my head off, Manners cost nothing.
WHEN USERS HAVE MDA COMPACT THEY NEEDS WM2005
WHEN THEY HAVE MDA C3 THEY NEEDS CROSSBOW
IT IS FUNNY
and i need im my pda windows vista
or xp will be good
pleas help
as far as i know this device only accepts signed code in roms....so unless some one cracks the boot loader you will never be able to flash a custom rom...
in another hand .....i heard that there is a a test crossbow rom for your device,being tested by internal testers.....but this roms rarely see the light of the day.... but you never know.

We are close to that in Artemis... they should be able soon
The HTC Wizard + HTC Universal (which are designed as WM5 devices) have WM6 ROMs so.. there's a really BIG chance that the HTC Artemis will get the WM6 update too..
WM6 a.k.a. Crossbow is just a ROM that has some updates + new theme..
Why is it called WM6 then? Cuz people are bored and they're really waiting for some NEW sh*t! It just counts as a lil entertainment for us while we're waiting.
“Crossbow” (Q4 ‘06)
- Great mobile messaging
- Advanced Business and Enterprise propositions
- Strengthened phone experience
- Faster, easier application development and distribution
- Q1/Q2 ‘07 Marketing Launch
“Photon” (Q4 ‘07)
- New, Flexible Shell
- Modular Containers
- “Yamazaki” CE kernel
- Q1/Q2 ’08 Marketing Launch
Conclusion WM6 = WM5 + Plus!
will \wm6 crossbow (wwe) for htc wizard v5.2.660 work?
I was wondering, once there is ROM available for P3300 based on Crossbow "WM6", for this to be lfashed and updated to newer WM will I also need to CID unlock the phone first, as I am unable to flash other ROMs as of now.
Frankly speeking, ~$40 is steep price for unclocking, around $20 would be OK (please consider this ... to unlockers)

If a update is released by your manufacturer you would not need to unlock but if for instance you have a t-mobile phone and dopod comes with wm6, and you want to use that rom you would have to cid unlock.
Had this reply from Dopod Australia's support yesterday to me enquiry "Hi, I was wondering if there were any plans to release Windows Mobile 6 for the p800w in the near future?":
Hi,
It might be possible. We are waiting for Microsoft to inform us about this.
We will keep you posted.
Thanks.

If and when you do a search on Google, you will most likely find website that will unlock your machine for about $7
Not saying that this will work on yours, but if you really want to be on the safe(save) side, just pay the $40 and you'll be 100% sure that it works.

No one has it, you cannot download it. This info is free......of course.
Im sick of hearing people about the 700s now get updates and compaining about. Your phone is old and they are developing a new one for the wm6 to take advantage of new technology.
I wouldn't count on an update for the 700 series. Hopefully we get an update for the 750 series

I know I have a dinosaur and I understand it's a P.O.S most likely but it's what I have for now. I must ask, if no one is willing to make a wm6 ROM for the 700w, do you think by chance they would consider making the LG Today Screen Plug-In work. I'd about give a left nut to have it on my dinosaur.

Lovely... so there are no general WM6/6.1 ROMs that could generically work? Or must they have a certain set of drivers? If this is the case... how close in terms of hardware is the 750?
