Looking at the MDA Compact II, the only main difference from our Magician is the processor. All other hardware is presumably the same as the Magician's (memory size is not significant).
So ..... if 3rd party software can run on any of the CPUs, why cant' WM5? Or is it that 3rd party software for the TI OMAP processor is compiled specifically for that CPU?
Just wondering :?
WM5 probably could run on Magician and potentially any device.
I'm not educated enough to answer correctly, but AFAIK anyone can build WM5 for the Magician using platform builder, but getting it work is the problem. We don't have compatible drivers etc specifically written for the device (as you can see with some of the WM5 builds for blue angel). So without proper drivers for all the hardware, it won't be "compatible" with all of the hardware.
Mamaich is the man for this question though. His Wizard ROM should open up doors I imagine.

I'm well aware of the drivers issue but with an MDA Compact II ROM the drivers should work just fine as it is essentially the same hardware. No?
More specifically, my question should be: is it JUST the different processor that won't allow us to use a WM5 Compact II ROM on our Magician? And if it is so, how come? (if 3rd party sofware can run on both processors with the same build?)
Actually, went down to a computer store on Friday and tested the HP IPAQ 1950. It only had 64MB ROM and 32MB RAM and 300MHz but it was very fast to operate which is surprising. Faster than an O2 mini display model.
Note that all display models only have factory settings with software that comes preinstalled. Comparing an O2 mini 64MB RAM/64 MB ROM 416MHz WM2003SE with an HP rx1950 32MB RAM/64MB ROM 300MHz WM 5.0, the rx1950 felt faster plus the HP screen was 3.5" as well.
I guess i they wanted to release an upgrade to WM 5.0 for the O2 mini/iMate JAM they could but why bother because they'll make more money selling the next model with WM 5.0
I think the O2mini noob is absolutely right. They just want to sell new Devices. Why else don't they give an Update to WM5 for XDA II / III although there are unofficial leaks?
Why they don't want to release WM5 for the Magician is pretty obvious now, look at HTC Charmer and HTC Prophet ... but the question is why can't we have a COOKED ROM from the HTC Charmer? What is the technical reason why an HTC Charmer/MDA Compact II ROM does not work on the Magician?
Well for a start the nbf for the t-mob charmer will need to a bit of chopping first to fit on a magician, since its 72mb. plenty of room on the charmers 128mb rom but not for the magician.
Just baught Jamin. Pretty happy. But the question is whom should I trust?
Imate show 200Mhz on their web site, Machine and guys in Inkino says it's 195Mhz.
One more question:
Is there a way of using bluetooth stereo headset with Jamin without external adapter???
The JAMin has a 195Mhz process, NOT 200 Mhz. You will be able to use a BT stereo headset once the AKU 2.0 ROM is available within the next 4 weeks.
Thanks!!!
actually it's even less than 195MHz
What makes you say that?
I doubt any lags running SKYPE PPC edition on dopod 830?
any frds got experiences?
thx.
Ive decided to replace my jasjar with a jasjam, Im getting a few mixed facts in regards to the hardware and software.
the jasjam has bluetooth 1.2 where Dopods version 838Pro has bluetooth 2.0
Does mean there is a hardware difference, or just software? will i be able to install dopod's os on my jasjam?
in addition is it a 300 mhz or 400mhz?
cheers
Hi friends, i wanted to ask only if "Skype" can be installed on Omap 200mhz processored QTEK S200 or not?
If it can be, i will buy that device but i used Hp rw6815 of my friend's a month ago, Skype was installed when it was bought from the shop, is it installed on Qtek S200 too when i buy it, if not can we download it from the web and install on Omap 200Mhz processored Qtek?
Thanks for u'r attention on topics...
Skype works ... in any threads you can found Regkeys for Skype, then it works with less CPU and you can use it over GPRS connections, with good Quality
Thank you for u'r attention...
And one last question, is there any "Rom or Cpu mhz limit" for SkyPe to be installed? For example, 128mb rom or 400mhz cpu!?..
Why don't you just use the Beta 2.2 which is also available for low power devices?:
