I was wondering if any work is in progress to port linux to Magician (ie Xanadux for Magician).
And if you have a running Linux on Magician can you guide me to get it.
i wanted to use synCE (linux activesync app) for my MDAc, but then noticed that synce does not support WM5. mabey u r having the same problem
ups NM as you can see /me = preety new to the PPC stuff i didnt know that Xanadux was an alternative OS very nice, i like linux, lets hope it gets done for the magician too

Wait a bit. It shares a lot of hardware with the other
htc phones, so the progress should be fast.

Check out SynCE. Still work in progress, and not ready for prime time yet IMHO. But I'm sure it'll get there!
Mmmm
Anyone tryed it? Can someone explain me how to use it?

Like most things Linux, read the HOWTO
http://synce.sourceforge.net/synce/howto.php
I've got as far as my PC recognising the Jam when plugged in, but have not yet established a sync connection, because Shorewall is blocking it. Haven't had time to try and fix yet.
As some of you have had the exec delivered whats your verdict?
I have the 11s and i am considering upgrading.
The 11s is about as bulkly as i would want to go and i know the exec is slightly larger and heavier but until you have it in your hand you cant really tell.
The 11s has a anoyingly quit ring tones and the vibrate is not much better.
So please post your thiughts.

oops
meant this for the existing thread sorry
Why don't you delete it then?
Btw..
Roman numerals uses the letter "I", not the number "1"..
It's "IIs" not "11s"..
how
dont know how to delete it
if i did i would have
remember we all start somewhere thats how the whole thing works if it was only for smart asses then it would not be required

I just upgraded to an XDA Exec from a IIs and I love it. Sure it is buliker than the IIs, which was big enoguh with a decent case, but the extra things you can do with it more than make up for it. The VGA screen is crystal clear, the stereo speakers and proper headphne socket, video calling, 3g internet browsing, proper keyboard... There are quite a few people here who think it is a disappointment, and yes, there are a few bugs and niggles, but overall I am really pleased with mine.

I got mine last week and its well cool. what a nice bit of kit. I'm finding it more easy to use than my xda2s, I've even been using pocket putty at work doin admin network stuff (just showing off), its like a second screen! lol. I'm even on it now replyin! I couldn't go back!
well I've had my say
I give it 10/10.
Out of interest, what is Pocket Putty? Just googled it and was none the wiser as to what it does! Sorry for my ignorance!

PuTTy is an SSH Client used to connect to Unix/Linux based servers running an SSH Server. Pocket PuTTy is Putty for your pocket pc . I use it all the time.
xda exec itself is a lovely device....a little bit buggy just now but once there has been rom updates it will be the device to have,..

100% agree. In a few years many companies will build devices like this.
Why did we have to wait so long for WMdevices with a keyboard?
Huib
got mine today
well arrived today but i had to work late so just finished looking at it.
It looks great not as large as i thought either.

did i made something wrong?
Im Picking mine up today!
I have ahd a little play with it, in the store and its not bad yunno! OK I too was little put of by the size but now that I have held the device and played a litlle it is looking really good!
Co-Pilot seems to work on it too which is a bonus!
The tablet style screen has huuge potential! All i need now is too find a way of securing it to my dashboard!
I installed the touchflo, it gets installed , but doesn't start etc. it needs somebody to get it working ,it doesn't seem all that far fetched like wm5 or wm6.it needs somebody from this forum to get it going . like they have done it on prophet, wizard,artemis, with some tweaking and alteration of biotouch file etc.cmon give some respect to the forgotten hero who started this transition from window mobile of being brick sized pda's to mainstream phone
Where did u download TouchFlo,cab?

There is one posted by Xplode in the WM6 BlueAngel forums if you are interested. But it wont work, not even on a WM5 much less a 2003SE.
Hello I have just recently began looking into the idea of a UMPC. I look at the stats on these and they seem decent at least some of them with 1 gig of ram and what not. Can these devices function as a laptop/desktop/pda replacement or have they not made it that far yet?
Device is intresting but it is no voice capable and no built GPS

if you want an UMPC and you want voice, then you may like the HTC X9500 (AKA "Shangri-la")

It has now been confirmed that the shift can make voice calls.
See the thread in the Athena forum for a link to a new video showing the phone pad on the shift.
ive seen a UMPC with the built in GPS and the voice functionality. Im just asking if this can run all the programs that a pc can. Like will i be able to active snyc a PPC. I have stumbled upon an interesting site that has quite a bit of affordable UMPCs...
http://www.dynamism.com/htc-shift/pricing.shtml
Shift is a bit pricey on this site.
Hell no!
It's a glorified comms device - that's all.
If you think even a little bit that it can replace even a fraction of your PC usage, you're gonna be very dissapointed and waste a ton of cash.
Office apps are extremely limited, and non-PPC software is simply a no-no.
This was much covered in the days of the Universal, and things have not improved much I'm afraid.
Forget it! Can't be clearer.
"Office apps are extremely limited, and non-PPC software is simply a no-no."
if it's running vista non ppc software should be no prob
of cause aero would not work nor any apps which required any kind of directx stuff

do you really think it will make WM6 and phone working ? I'm so sad to see that there is no ability to receive and give calls... and no ability to have WM applications .. it's so sad that the "fake WM6" is just like a wallpaper and a mail reader and nothing more

just check out the athena upgrading forums and read the thread on shift making phone calls
Even if it does not make phone calls out of the box, It will probably be hackable after a few weeks.
If HTC decided to put SnapVue because of marketing reason, there should be a full rom floating somewhere. It's impossible they didn't try one at first stage of development.
If it's for technical reason, then the problem certainly lie in the component sharing between the PPC part and vista. These component are:
Wifi: Must be shared and will probably be a problem to activate on both side. We must find a way to alternate it's switch.
Bluetooth: Same as wifi, but may support dual access as bluetooth can set up multiple connections
GPS: If it's desactivated, there will be the same work as for the artemys hopefully
SnapVue is a WM6 system trying to limit itself. It's not a real operating system build from ground. I'm sure it is crying to go back to normal WM6 state once we add the necessary system files.

wow u guys are living under rocks or something? the athena's snapvue is like the htc home plugin. go into the athena mobile 6 forum. i have it included as a addon for the athena. the athena will have a phone AND gps. yes me and oli have access to the rom. has been mentioned before. no you can't have it. it can go back to normal wm6. disable the plugin in settings and change the tsk. you can also get the menu back and stuff. this can be done by i guess running the cab for athena. the original cab we made during development had the startmenu and all gone. it was built into the dlls to hide softkeys and start menu. if u run the cab i believe all will be back. if u guys want a rom for shift. u know where to find me.

well..... I'm not 100% convinced by everything .. the Shift I have used does not show anything in the SnapVue ... no IE, no explorer, ... nothing to be able to download a cab or to install a cab... maybe synchronizing ? but I think that it can't be synchronized ...... so how? .. I have seen 2 shifts and both were not able of reading SMS and receiving or giving a call.
I will keep tune in this thread since the phone is out this month .. and will see how it works for others... I hope we will be able to put a phone on it and GPS and anything else.... but I think even without that the HTC SHIFT issss the best choice for a small notebook and it is clearly THE BEST CHOICE for an umpc.

idk are u reading what i said correctly? I dont need to put phone or gps on it. IT HAS IT!! like i said if u run the cab it should open the windows up to have a start menu and all that. internet explorer and all that are in the phone. maybe they want u though to only have in wm6 what isnt in vista. if u think about it vista has ie and all that.

i'm not talking about ADDING a phone or a gps ... but about downloading "THE" cab you are talking about... and installing this cab.. I have used the Shift a little .. and it seems that there is no way to access the SnapVue ... just use the snapvue.. but impossible to see something behind it ... no explorer, no I.E. ... and I think that it can't be synchronized with a computer.
surely it would be possible to hard reset the snapview side and before customizations take place and install sbnap view soft reset then use total commander to get any other cabs from the extended rom that we need ??? (but ive not seen even a sample unit in the flesh i assume this is do_able?)

Sorry to bust your bubble but SnapVue is a part of the ROM... but so long as the device will happily sync away with Activesync, we should be in business.

Hey no problem just hope it can be cracked and hacked away at till we get a usable device
I want to buy one... is it avalible yet. i saw something about it being released in europe already...
I'm thinking about developing a small app that changes the mac address of the wlan card on the Kaiser in WM6. Before I take the plunge, does anyone know of any code floating around out there similar to this (VB /c++ / c#)?
I wouldn't want to reinvent the wheel (again).
not really an code exm but could give some pointers

Thanks for that. The deeper I look, the information becomes more obfuscated for WM6, but a little reverse engineering should reveal the method
Update
The solution is going to be with OpenNETCF and I'm not too far off on having my beta

Did u get the software done?? Didnt see anywhere around. It's been more than a year ... almost 2 yrs now. Any solution to this?

Gud luck to all trying it out. But remember you hav to do it in WindowsXP. Vista doesn't work.
