WM2005 for HIMALAYA v1.60b.96
buzz

I dont have a Himalaya but you rock anyways Buzz. Keep up the Good work!!

Good work...and...
Hi Buzz,
I'm been away from the forum for a good few months and I'm very pleasantly surprise by your excellent work.
In fact, after reading through the few threads on WM2005, I'm now the proud owner of a revitalised XDA2 with WM2005 v1.60a installed.
The only pet peeve I have is that Maction Monster Chinese and the likes don't installed well on the system anymore. I've a geniune need to read Chinese on my PDA phone, and I can't do it anymore with WM2005.
One approach I can take is to be patient, and another approach I can take is to ask you for a favour to join some other top brains here to figure out a good solution.
Obviously, there are mixed reports that certain patch like fontpatch.CAB, chinapatch.cab works for previous v1.50x versions. It would be some registry tweaks, or memory allocation issue, which your expertise would be sorely needed.
Cheers,
Henry

I saw Asukai thread on wince.nls. Great job there as well. I've tested it, and concur with AzN_devil that the Chinese-specific region settings cannot be seen in the Region Settings window for v1.60a. He claims that it works on v1.50h though, i think.
Nevertheless, I made some more tests and I can read Chinese display text on Word Mobile. Unfortunately, Chinese e-books still come out with gibberish text.
If you can shed some light on this mystery, I am sure the community continues to owe you yet another big favour. :wink:

where can I download a clean WM6 or 6.1?

Tested a couple of cooked roms on my device and want to see what a clean wm6 or 6.1 would be like...

Then look on the WM6 boards, not here.
Sheesh. Doesn't any body's mother teach them to look first, then ask? Mine certainly pounded it into my head.
//Sorry, but I'm in a grumpy mood.

KEVIN88GT
I'm afraid you won't get a totally clean Wm6 rom anywhere on the net or in this forum,as clean roms are only distributed to the manufacturers,vendors or the cellular networks by Microsoft.They add up their own applications and programs as they desire.The closest to a clean rom,but mind it,will still have some applications or programs with are mostly provided by the cooks here in this forum for other cookers to add applications or programs as they wish and desire.Almost all the latest wm6 roms offered for download,also give link to download 'Clean Roms' for cooking,check out all the latest wm6 custom builds roms.

Although,this forum believes in 'Seek & Search',but here we also believe in 'courtesy & Politeness' and extend all the help and advise,whatever,we have attained and gained here to other newly joined members and 'Newbies', looking for guidance and help.I think,there was no need for hard words like 'Doesn't any body's mother teach them to look first, then ask?' or Sheeesh !!!,if you are in a 'grumpy mood',No one is compelling you to answer his question or advise. Hope you'll appreciate this !
Cheers!

You could give this ROM a shot and see if you like it. I'm currently using it. It's stable, fast and clean too.

Myrddin Wyllt once upon a time you was a noobie and didn't know anything, I guess YOUR MOTHER hit you over the head with something. Please respect knowledge and the right for others to obtain it. In the future if you know the answer to a question, just go to a dark room and keep the answer to yourself.

Herald Forum Overhaul Needed. (Suggestion)

There's a couple things I'm noticing...
First: People post in the wrong places...
Yes I know that some people are just dumb and don't bother reading. But what's the difference between the Herald forum and the Herald Mobile 6 forum? I'm not sure I understand... Although I'm sure there's a sticky note somewhere explaining it all, but I just took a brief look and didn't find it. I think the forum should be redivided into 4 or 5 sections. Ideally it would have: Herald Tutorials, Herald ROM Development, Herald Question and Answers, and Herald Accessories... So that way it's kind of hard to miss where to post the question and answers, and where to find the exciting tutorials.
Second: A lot of these posts are out-dated.
The ROM reviews seems like it would be one of the coolest, but it's falling behind on some of the best and most recent ROMs. The CAB collection(s) hasn't been updated in a while... There's like 8 or 9 cab collections I think... I'm sure there's a better way of doing that and keeping on top of it. Perhaps we just need some more people who are willing to keep up on all of these updates and post them.
Now I understand this would probably be a ton of work to create these forums and then move the threads that are still fine, but I think it would help a lot. I'd be willing to help in the process... I'm not just here to complain and not do anything.

I've been interested in rehauling the Herald forums, but unfortunately, I'm not a mod and they're not taking mod applications at the moment...
The whole thing needs a whole overhaul.
Herald and Herald 6 are redudant. The stickies are innefficient. No one posts where they should. If I were to be a mod, I'd spend a few weeks cleaning the place up. Of course, the ROM review thread and CAB collections would have to be updated by the original owner or by someone who had the time to undergo testing all those ROMs and collecting all those cabs.

wiki?
another idea is to create a wiki. it should based upon mediawiki (used by wikipedia). there you can create create cab collections, tutorials and so on.
it would be possible to create a seperate page for every custom rom.
discussions could already be done here in the forum. in the forum could be special threads for the pages and there could a be a link from the article to the thread.
EDIT: if some is interested in doing that, i would help, of course.

There already is a wiki, look at the top of the screen. It's just that no one uses it. No one writes to it and no one reads it.

i know. don't ask my why, but i don't like this wiki, too.
it is difficult to read because of the design. it is confusing...

I agree it's a little... ugly.
But I think that aside from that, out of the few people who DO write on it, most of them don't really format the articles very well.

Yeah, but if the stylesheet is not .. well .. very good, formating the articles doesn't really help.

Yeah, these guys should really be using MediaWiki.
I can write whatever plugins are needed. I'm fairly handy when it comes to writing plugins. I ported DomPDF to MediaWiki as a means of being able to convert any Wiki article into PDF using only PHP.

i've saved a lot of informations i gained form the forum and the wiki in my personal wiki at home (separate wiki only for herald ). when i'm back at home, i will publish these informations in a new wiki and post it here. propably, we can show how comfortable mediawiki and the design is and then propably the admins will use mediawiki

Why has this forum been taken over?

Just wondering, this is the HTC Sable forum, yet it's been taken over by unrelated phone posts.. TONS of them..
I come here from time to time looking for info for my iPAQ 6945, and every visit, there's more and more off-topic stuff here, and it makes it harder and harder to find Sable-related posts.. Why is this?
Eric

Beacuse both 91x and 61x owners are here
e.g. I have bricked my 914c while flashing with a 614c ROM My mistake...but think about it...

well once upon time when 61x/91x is out people thought it is also manufactored by HTC so they start dicussing it here. Eventually people figured out it is not made by HTC but there are already several threads about the tools and roms for them so the trend just continue. At some point there is also post in the "Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking" forum but gradually people just post here as it is easier to find info about 61x/91x here.
So not much can be done..there are several options:
1. keep it here
2. move all 61x/91x post to "Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking"
3. move to other site
given we have 4+1 roms here, move will only work if all rom chef agree on that..

Thanks for your replies..It's had me wondering for a while..

Hey Shep/Eric,
Sorry for the 61x/91x busy-ness going on here! But please don't move us, we'd have no where else to go. Well, maybe there'd be other places to go, but xda is my favourite! I used to have two HTC devices, but was scared about making the move to an Ipaq because I wasn't sure I'd ever be able to drop custom roms on my phone ever again. But when I found out xda had this sub-forum for "Sable" devices, I was overjoyed, and continue to be now that keyes, benjaminries, montecristo, and anyone else I missed, have continued to provide awesome support for our devices!
How about we all just consider ourselves part of the Sable family, with the 61x and 91x devices considered Sable offspring? xda is hands down the best forum in the world for our devices!

Honestly, there is very little anything these days about the older iPaqs. This forum would be pretty dead if it didn't become used for the newer HP models .
The bottom line is while clearly the 61xc and the 91xc phones aren't htc phones nor Sables, I don't see that any harm is being done by discussing them here .

What about me? I think there's no one expert ROM care or enable to make WM OS ROM Upgrade for my device hp iPAQ h6365/h63xx abandon in here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=497826 Poor of my device ... !

I hear you, it just seems weird there's no dedicated forum (here on xda-developers, I'm not saying leave the site, sheesh! )
I've had my 6945 for 2 years I think. I still like it, but I wish there was a ROM update for it. That's one of the main reasons I check here from time to time. What exactly is needed for a WM6/6.1/6.5 ROM for us? I keep seeing stuff about 'we need a full rom', etc. Certainly this could be had by now, with all the other WM6.x phones on the market, no?
I'll start a new thread with my current problem though, no one will be looking here for it.
Eric

Okay great thanks Shep! lol
Maybe if you make a request thread, someone may be able to work on it for ya...I'm sure you're not the only one!

Yeah, we're always hope to not being alone in this forum, including me!

we're very grateful that xda-developers have been extremely kind.
xda-dev have been so helpful in every way not just to xda/htc users but TO ALL Pocket PC users of all brands!
This site is such an asset to Microsoft and to the Pocket PC world, that the contributors here should be rewarded/donated by these companies in the millions of dollars, I think! Because so many of the faults and problems created by them (unintentionally of course) have been so generously repaired, fixed, mended etc by the selfless contributors here.
Hope you can extend this generosity to us other users with not enough numbers to start a meaningful site such us the ipaq users.
thank you so much.

hw69xx Done
We al saw it coming, at first I was pissed, but when you really think about it, There is no helpfor Sable / Beetles users. Although this thread is overrun by newer hp models, In all actuality, what harm is this doing to the Sables Owners.

no (unless you want video-out only).

aham...and where can i find ram chips so i can upgrade to 128. i am thinking of sending it to an orange shop because they have the proper equipment for the operation.

You are asking questions you can easily find for yourself which have been repeated many times. Please do a search, or just look down the titles of the threads.
I would be surprised if Orange upgraded the Uni but if they do then let us know as it would be interesting.
Have a look in this thread RAM Upgrade should help.
Also there is a section in the wiki Shops that Offer 128Mb Upgrade, but some may need updating.

you don't seem to get it..i want to buy the ram chips from someone that i can trust and then to go at orange shop so they can do the operation. i don't want to send it to iraq for example and wait for it and may never come back and i would't pay more than 25E for the operation.
yeah thanks.. your community is as good as hp's one, didn't receive any good answers on any post.

Did you read the thread/wiki? Retonex and XEL both sell the chips. Others have bought from them (read the threads, you will see their comments).
