Activesync 4.1 out - JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/downloads/activesync41.mspx
The build number is 4841
I don't see any obvious changes or improvements above the one we have at the xda-developers ftp (I think it was build 4807), but there you go.

Thank you for the link. This forums version was indeed 4807. Advantage here is, it is available in different languages.

Special Edition ROM v1.1 download locations

I've gotten an XS4ALL account. I needed it for a number of reasons, but combined with my Cuba account, it will make sure something like the downtime experienced over the pask few days doesn't happen again.
To download the Special Edition ROM in self-extracting-exe form:
http://cuba.calyx.nl/~jsummers/XDA/XDA-developers-SER-v11.exe
or
http://www.xs4all.nl/~jsummers/XDA/XDA-developers-SER-v11.exe
You have been always a great asset to this forum
Thanks again
Othman
The links are broken now. Can anyone send me the files to me?
thanks!
Hi Chiu
Not sure if you are aware that the earth has rotated many times over since the SER ver 1.1 was released. We are blessed with an excellent group of xda developers who take us to the bleeding edge of technology on almost a daily basis. You could look into the rom section of the forum to know that the latest thing is custom made roms which is much mightier than than the ver 1.1 and easily downloadable thus why the links to ver 1.1 are broken I suspect.
If you still want the 1.1 for other reasons, I may still have one lying somewhere in the hard disc. I definitely has the SER ver 1.2 as well. Let me know.

platform builder

Hello
I was wondering if the platform builderr IDE from windows is free?
i tried to search for it on their website but could not find it, just found the updates
It is not free, but there is an evaluation version for 180 days (if I am not mistaking). Sorry, don't remember the link, but it's there somewhere.
P.S. Any images built with it will only work for a year I think.
Yeah, it's hardly worth downloading, but the trial version suffices for most of our needs. Buy from MS's website.

thanks for the reply
is there anything comparable which is available for free
No...
Exactly what do you want to do?
Build a ROM for a new device from scratch? If so then you have no choice, you must by the PB.
But if you only need some of its functionality like creating MUI for localization, perhaps we can recommend an alternative. Just tell us what you need it for.
FYI, the platform builder trial can't be used to build a rom for our devices, from scratch. You require the system drivers etc that only the OEM (ie HTC) would have available. Or some very very very well connected friends.

Platform Builder available from MS site can be used to build only WinCE 5.0 ROMs. Windows Mobile ROMs are build with Platform Builder 5.0 for Windows Mobile (or something like that). MS regularly releases updates for it in the form of AKUs.
Unfortunately PB for WM or AKUs are nowhere available for free, and their price is too huge.
And even if you'l get them, you'll also need a BSP for your device. It is extremely difficult to create it from scratch without having any hardware information, but Linux source code for your device can be useful.

Baserom 1948/18548: Available somewhere?

Hi,
I would like to create a german version of this ROM for the P3600.
Is there any place where one might download an "intact" version which works correctly with bepes tools? I haven't yet found anything publicly accessible which is newer than the asian dopod-Rom from five months ago.
From my personal experience, 18548 seems to be very stable. I have invested a lot of work into the localization of the MUI, but can only dump/recompile it as a quick'n dirty hack, as all the versions which I found had modified DSM-files and did not work with package tools.

ROM List sticky?

Hi there, thanks for all the great info here first of all!
Would it be possible for there to be a sticky made that has a list of the major ROMs that are available that'd link to their respective threads?
I know there are the stickies for a few roms, but for someone new to all this like me it's difficult to determine what ROM is what. Something like this would be nice and easy for everyone that aren't totally in the know:
ROM Designer - Status - Revision Number/Name/Description
Xplode - Stable - 6.1.blahblah.CrikeyWhatAreAllThoseNumbersFor??.0226
Bill_Gates - Testing - WM6.1 Stripped Clean
Sun_dream - Stable - WM6.1 Feature Packed
That's just a simple example. I think having some sort of name for the ROM whether it is the designer, short description or both, and a status whether it's a stable or a beta-test version are the two very key items that would help everyone the most.
I know in a FAQ somewhere I read about what all those numbers mean, but I shouldn't have to go searching for that information each time to understand what in the world they mean.
This way each ROM designer could have one post that they update with new revisions, and the main List Sticky just points to that designers thread.
In the designer's thread it would probably be wise to have a sort of standardized format as well such as:
-Designer Name/ROM Name
-"Stable Version below:"
-Stable version number
-Stable version revision explanation
-Stable version download
-blank line
-"Beta Version below:"
-Beta version number
-Beta version revision explanation
-Beta version download
-blank line
-Any other discussion, instructions, spam, pictures of cute kitties, etc.
Just my two cents ($32.51 with inflation)!

OEM/XIP and other Numbering

Due to a lot good man here making a lot of good ROM's we are flooded with huge versions and updates, however I personaly confused for one small issue and I assume that some (non developers) as same.
there are several Numbers provided with the ROM - not all of them are the same all the time so it is very hard to compare.
there is the OEM issue 3.16, 3.18 and 3.19 ....
there is the XIP issue 21140, 19997 etc'
the OS name 6.1, 6.5 etc'
and there is the OS 5.2.x.x etc
1. question is how can I see all this information in the ROM that we get since the Devlopers are giving partial information from time to time and in the device ID there is also partial information (that mostly include Developer signiture....)
2. can we ask from now, all the Dev' will provide all the information in there post?
