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:

there is so much of this information on this forum that it isnt funny asking for it again.
I can see that you have only ever made 2 posts, so it would seem that your first forum is out of naivety rather than stupidity.

Agreed, this has been posted a great many times, each trying to be the definitive post on all aspects of the Universal - something which I think is frankly impossible as no single post can cater for everything.
In the defence of somewhat overwhelmed newcomers, however, I do think it's time for x-d to be reorganised (how many times have we said this??) and broken down more specifically than just General, Upgrading and Accessories. There should also be beginners guides, for just this kind of thing.
@ brightming: the links provided above are a good starting point, read them all thoroughly!
Cheers
Ant
I've been (mostly) lurking here for a few months and I'd agree - it'd be fantastic to have 1) more specific/detailed forums under the Universal heading and 2) some well-written, clear guides for newcomers - particularly given the repetition and duplication of many subjects in different posts. An alternative place to have some good how-to type guides might be the wiki, especially considering that it appears to be underused at the moment. Any mods fancy tackling this?...

Hmm...you are right, these people have been lying. I just clicked and followed this link sent to me by a friend, and now I'm the owner of a WM6 (not 5! it's soo much better) device! Try it out!
backend.htc.com/developers/magician/wm6/source/bin/nk.nb0
magician upgrade
hey guys if u r all genius who make wm6 rom for devices older than magician then, just tell me why the chinese made smartphones & pda's can run wm5/6 though there hardware is much more lower then magician, and why i said that u were funded by companies is, because i m not smart like u so one thing that i didnt get is why the reasons have been changing for NO WM5 FOR MAGICIAN from 1) lack of ram, then 2) lack of rom, to 3) no drivers & 4)nk.nbf problem AND SO ON, If rom was problem then this forum itself provides link for 64mb to 128mb & still no wm5, doesn't this all seems to be like som kind of lack of intrest, or too many coincedencs in the device, PLEASE dont TAKE IT PERSONALLY but to my other friend who also answered my post i would only say that if i were also genius ass like him, then i would'nt have been in the forum. One more thing is that why do so many people seems to be claiming that they have seen wm5 on magician,
magician wm5 bcoz
no i m not calling the founders of the forum assholes, i m just saying that that when jam 128mb=charmer or so they say then why cant a charmer rom be customized for magician. u r the most experiencd people in this community, but i get a feeling that u did not give it your best try due to other prospects

You make it sound as if it is an obligation for someone to provide you with something, tell you what, how about being productive and learn to customize at least the 2003SE OS (so you would know at least the feel on how difficult it is for rom cookers) and provide us with at least a customized version like taxist(not texas) has made for the magician instead of whining and bellowing obnoxious and disrespectful statements which would not in any way encourage or at the very least strike an interest for any person to develop ROMS for the magician.
Whatever reasons they may have for not developing further may include other personal reasons other than your far fetched conspiracy theory, and if you cant contribute something which has the slightest merit in this forum then i say, shut up and respect them dumbass!
yeah! we need wm5 or wm6/6.1

Stop bad language for Magician
Come on, guys! please stop using bad language because you just can't get what you want from this forum. Everyone even tries to offer freebies. No WM5/WM6/WM6.1 for you because failure in trying. Try but faill. Try and fail. Last but not least, try by yourself. If you, Magician owners, succeed at even attempting to create WM5/WM6/WM6.1 Magician ROMs, that would be great. Thank god you truly did it.
please stop fighting and behave like sensible forum members.

Hey everyone - now that many people are getting the HD (through the post, shop, stealing, whatever) I was wondering what programs that people are using.
If possible, please also state what the app does. eg;
Coreplayer - multiple-format video player.

Jon,
All you need do is go to the topic and ask......
Yes, the topic does list software titles working/not working but there's nothing wrong is posting anything specific about a specified program.
In fact I personally would recommend it.... The more information available is so much better.
Beards
This all stems from the fact software is a total mess on windows mobile - even looking at the biggest sites like clickgamer and handandgo none of them have support for the HD yet. As soon as microsoft bring out their software store the better - that's one thing apple got very very right with the iphone.

Couldn't agree more Jonathan.
At the moment it's a total minefield in ascertaining what does and does not work.
Beards
There, edited the first post. People can post in both topics. I think it would be interesting to see how many people, for example, used LunarTilt or that iPhone GUI - Beards, with your topic, if someone sees Coreplayer 2.5, they may not bother to list any other interesting apps they use.
Thanks for the link Acelister.
If I find anything of interst applicable for this topic I'll pass it back on to you.
Beards
one major problem and handicap windows mobile will have over the iphone.
The mobile osx is only one device (iphone), so it is a lot easier for developers to create and optimise software for the device, as for wm the developers have to think about the many different devices, thus full optimisation isnt really possible, that is why not all programs will run on all devices.
cor blimey - didn't mean to start anything off here, sorry!
The thread of http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442663 is fantastic, and very much appreciated.
If I ever catch up with you guys who have been playing with WM for years, and come across an unlisted app that works, please be assured that I will add to it
However - as a noob, short of Googling each and every one of them to find out what they do (ok, some are pretty obvious!), I have no idea which fall into the categories of "kinda vital" through to "dead useful if you want to do something dead specific".
What I was really hoping for in this thread (and I guess supersquash in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=446128 and Philo25 in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=445543) was a sort of 'starter for 10'.
Looks like between the various posts we're getting there though, so MANY thanks to everyone
Well I've never really gone out of my way to install anything on my Touch Elf, so this was pretty new to me too. I've been getting the hang of it though.
I've installed:
Advanced Config (changes various hidden options),
Capsure (screen capture utility),
Coreplayer (video player),
Klaxon (alarm),
Total commander (better than File Manager),
SPB Mobile Shell (makes the Today screen look completely different),
iFonz (makes the Today screen look like the iPhone).
Those are all easily found using Google.
Nice one Sir - good to see there's a few of us in the same boat!
sounds like a good starter list - now I just need to start Googling where to get these from...

Hi All,
It seems now that those guys who have developed HardSPL for the X1 are not going to get the X2. This leaves then no other options than to start creating the Hard-SPL ourselves.
Is there any open guides/sourceode etc available on any previous HardSPL:s? It can't be so difficult to hack this phone and change the essential parameters for getting in into the underlying filesystem...
If you know any links or direct discussions on how for example the X1-guys created their Hard-SPL, then please post that link here.
Thanks!

Yeah! Sounds good to me. Although developers do it for the challenge, sometimes getting them motivated by a bounty encourages them more! Just check x10, it has now been rooted and I hope one day our X2 will also be Hard SPL'ed. Got an x10 and an x2 so i guess i'm gonna play with x10 for now.

I am not sure if i sound a bit stupid, but since we know how to strip down X2 to bare Win 6.5.3, can somebody please "cook" (i mean perhaps assemble) usable CABs that would work on X2 and make the phone usable stable without the unnecessary SE craps? i guess that is a good general direction we would start before a genuine real SPL is available...?
itd be great if they could do it make an X2...

Hi hertell.
I'm spanish and I'll translate you the post at HTCSPAIN.
The HARDSPL at the post it's for HTC models, not for SE Xperia, and it's so old, 2009.
If someone is working to make available HRDSPL in SE Xperia X2, I think that is a titanic work.
Thanks for your resume!
Again, if someone knows any docs or whatever technical info needed to get into winmo-devices, then please post such links here.
If i just find the needed docs that's needed for such tasks, then i'll try to create a hack for getting into the X2..

In this web are new hardl slp for HTC JADE and windows mobile 6.5 i dont now if this program run in x2.

Lightbulb I can access the inner file system of my X2.
Guys and gals...
I've got a bricked X2, so things can't get any worse at present.
I took the advice which was displayed in another thread, and downloaded the Qualcomm QPST package.
x-drivers.com/catalog/flash/mobile_phones/companies/qualcomm/models/qpst/12051.html
I deleted the default comm ports in the QPST configuration tool, added both USB ports that were available, did the Volume Down + Power On keypress, connected the cable, and voila! The phone was recognised, and it was possible to browse through the phone using EFS Explorer. Using QPST Service Programming, I can view and edit a whole LOAD of stuff inside the phone. Wow.
I haven't dared change a single thing yet. I'm hoping someone can now contribute and we can begin to understand how to use this package to our advantage.

A step closer in getting the X2 rooted
hey,
still nothing new from the front?
ohhh! I've bought the x2 though I knew the mist is the software - but thought immediately to the flash - and now I'm sitting on a handy verbugtes
translated by google
Dear Fellow X2 Users,
I have been reading through all main sections (there are only 3 lol) of the X2 subforums and cannot help noticing how much more threads/sections and more importantly more development is being done on the older Xperia X1.
For me I see this as ironic that an older model is being tweaked more when internally they both have similar hardware.
I would summarize the X2 as a well designed device on the outside with a bad software system. We have gotten as far as getting rid of the junk that SE has put as "wrappers" to give it some eye-candy. We have made it usable and we have made the battery last longer. I am a programmer who believes that anything is possible if we use what is availabe to make amazing solutions.
Looking at windows mobile 7 although it promises fancy games and fancy social connectivity I do not think many professionals will consider those as useful. So I do not think the Xperia X2 is dead. I think it is like Knight Rider's car without Kit installed yet!
To the point (finally! I hear some of you say) why not make a team just like the htc developers have and work on some alternatives to minimal X2(skip default cabs) and bugged X2(default)? If we cannot cook roms, I say make some custom set of cabs that get the job done. I see so many good cabs in the forums: fm radios, handwriting recognition (kudos to fadi.b), the multifix cab, and an overclocking cab that boosts speed to 1000Mhz! (in some cases) and so many other I can't remember at the moment. We need to combine what we have into something better than the original X2 software.
I know I have not participated in these forums much, but believe me I have played around with the X2 just like the rest of you. I am asking for a concerted developmenteffort so we can solve the many issues mentioned by the X2 community.
Why not have development sections? A WinMo section is definitely a must.
Or an Android section like X1? A features request sticky inside these too would be good for everyone. We have to share some crucial information so a thread for this is important as well, e.g. keymappings, APIs, etc.
It is my hope that after reading this more people will try to approach the challenge of customizing the X2 in a more organized and successful way. Instead of deciding who should start, I think we should focus on how we ourselves can make it work!
To the Forum Mods: I have placed this in general section because imo it regards X2 as a whole and not specifically for ROM development or apps, rather a combination of both.
Totally agree with you!
I am agreed with you.
Please any programmer or developer contribute your specialist and skill here.
But,I am noobs with the software programmer...
I think we should make a new thread and see how many people would be willing
to put some money to offer the developer of the Hard-Slp.
i hope !!!!

I also agree with you.
Please developers must take initiative to make x2 successfull.
im with you too guys, but i know that most developers prefer htc phones over other phones so you see many great stuff in htc forums ... so i thing a big motive for developers is to make abouny for hard spl and this will really attract developers ... sorry for my bad english
This is HTC hardware.
Second,i will donate or pay for any hardspl that would make this thing usable.
I do not have enough time to devote into "modding" ripping the software until i come out with an usable x2,so i would gladly pay to get something to put on this usefull 500$ phone.
I think that like me are many users that would give to say at least 10-20 euro for something to make this crap work better.
Kind regards to all and i'm still hoping to see something done for my X2.

Hi hi! Sorry for falling off the edge of the internet platform! (was busy ).
Good news! Got myself a new X2 hehehe. Yes am serious about getting this from piece of mediocre communication device to at least X1 status!
K, I will summarize what is required to develop applications for the X2 and Windows Mobile phones in general:
1. Development Environment to make programs: Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 or Sharp Develop IDE. Search on Google to find more
2. HEX Editor to analyze/break apart data: No idea yet! Still searching for an updated one. Maybe Hex Workshop. Got an old version of that somewhere.
3. Registry Editor: CeRegistryEditor, Awesome registry editor for playing around with registry key settings. It uses ActiveSync and you change settings on your computer.
Will update this list when I find out or remember more items.
Good day to you all and please, don't give up!

I have come across this some time ago and it is what I mentioned in my first post about a minimalist X2 (no unnecessary things). I have been there and although it is nice to have a phone that works I would like a phone that works AND looks and works beautiful!
Hope you see what I see now ^^. Not iPhone killer lol, just something better than what we have now.
