Hi,
Just become the owner of a XDA Mini S and wondered if you guys could help me?
I'm finding the device extremely slow to use, the response time is pretty bad and takes a while to switch from Portrait to Landscape mode when sliding the keyboard.
Is there a way to speed this up?? Maybe a new ROM or something?? Is it possible to install Windows Mobile 6 onto the XDA Mini S?
I've installed a new ROM onto a Motorola MPX200 before but thats as far as my knowledge goes so any help would be really appreciated!!!
I was also going to get TomTom but I've heard that there are issues with installing TomTom 5 or TomTom 6 onto the device??
One last thing, sorry!! Are there any good sites, threads where you can download apps and games, etc.. for the XDA Mini S?
Thank you very much
You might wanna use the search here in the forum for that? But first go to the WIKI and read all of the WIZARD section - that answers your questions: http://wiki.xda-developers.com
Ive seen loads of videos on the tinternet with people using wizards and my device the xda mini s.
with a couple of really cool app called touchflo and slide2unlock.
Ive had a look on here and there is various versions and im not sure which one 2 get
can someone point me in the correct direction to the cabs to these 2 fantastic apps.
Im currently running a wm5 rom which is the standard aku2 rom for O2.
cheers in advance.

Hi there,
been reading about new igo thats comming out and by the looks of things they are now using a 3d interface.
just wondering if our humble wizards will be able to handle this. Has anyone here beta tested or tried out the demo.
Thanks
Erm, I haven't tried it on my wizard and it wasn't dog slow and popped a few out of memory messages.
I hope you see what Im saying here!
A shame because i would really like to upgrade to this.
I really want a phone that can play emulators in full speed so would be rly nice if any1 can tell if they have been able to play snes or gba in full speed with full screen and with sound?
thnx.

I tried yesterday plaing snes (knight of the round) and it works very nice but ive got no sound and its just a bit leggy but I think its accaptable (maybe 22 fps)... I didnt try to get it in fullscreen, but i coulndt get it working in landscape mode...
GBA files work really nice, guess they are even with sound. Fullspeed? Yes!
hey man,
I have had my x1 since jan this year and with roms getting better/faster and with people making tweaks (gfxboost etc) yes...morphgear is very playable.
To be honest tho, I dont put it fullscreen...i make it "actual size" which keeps it 4:3 and also turn on sound. NES/GBA games are full speed...I have noticed some snes games are kinda sluggish still (better with sound off).
I read on another part of the forum somebody is making a new snes emulator and its been getting good reviews so far!
oh, ye, found something about the new emulator you were speaking of
SnesGo:

any1 tried it on the xperia?
are You sure guys that You are talking about gba and not gb/gbc ?? if yes, then is it possible to play on this morphgear in landscape mode with keyboard open?
gba is not fullspeed on morphgear. its laggy, but playable. Sound doesnt work with gba roms in morphgear.
fullscreen is still playable. 4:3 ratio (actual size) is a bit better.
The problem is, that this emulators were made when phones were slow. They dont emulate Roms like an emulator on PC does. If you want a fast Emulator (GBA) on X1 someone needs to make a new emulator desigend for fast phones.
Maybe a solution but I havent tried it:
Install pocketDOS and run the No$GBA dos version. maybe it works. dont know ...

Tried on X1. Can't get it to run roms. Just goes into the splash screen after loading up a rom and hangs there. Exactly same thing happens with pocketSNES which this emulator is based on.
Finally! Just got morphgear running perfectly with Chrono Trigger on X1 And with a amazingly cool virtual pad.

Yippee!
Good topic, I was thinking about a good SNES emulator yesterday: "I wonder if there's a good SNES emulator for Winmo..."
Well, it works pretty good on my X1 and I'm happily playing Frontmission (one of my favorite mecha game-series) while commuting. the only thing I didn't get working yet was sound, but I'm thinking I should fiddle around with the settings a little. I really like that the emulator lets you rotate and auto-scale the graphics so that I can comfortably use my X1 sideways for a bit more screen-estate.

Are you talking about SnesGo or Morphgear?
I'm using Morphgear.
Nice. The below comment conversation is from SnesGo dev blog. So we should be waiting for a X1 compatible version in a few weeks. Hope it will work out

hey, Im running this on a SE X1. When I choose rom the emulator goes to the the SnesGo splash screen and does nothing.
I tried changing to VGA and then running snesgo, but the problem remained. Roms that I tried was Super mario world, punch out and zelda. They are all in zip format.
I tried to look for a FAQ or instructions but couldnt find anything. Maybe I missed something here, lemme know, I'll be glad to help you with testing.

Thanks for reporting this. I've added a FAQ page at project site.
VGA/WVGA devices shall be supported by next release, in 2-3 weeks
Hi,
sorry if this has been asked before, i searched but found nothing specific so here goes.
i have been asked by my bro-in-law to downgrade his t-mobile mda compact v to wm5 so he can use the apps he needs to use for his job as a sky satellite engineer.
apart from ruining a perfectly good phone, i'm afraid that it will run like poo and crash often.
so, is there a way to install a wm5 rom to this handset and where do i find a compatible rom?
any help is greatly appreciated
thanks
ave'
i dont think thats possible, but the apps he use should work in wm6 too.
i use apps from wm2003 and wm5 in wm6 so that wouldn't be a problem i think
cheers mate,
i will try that route and see how it goes.
ever tried looking for an old phone that still running wm5 at ebay?
