Different look for the top and bottom bar - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General

On http://www.netwasp.com/flashthemes.asp the themes they have on there have a glass look, instad of the flat bars that mine has.
It is kind of like the difference between looking at windows 200 and windows XP.
Is what is pictures WM6?

Follow the steps listed and you will not have any problems.

Now I may be blind.... and my skimming skill are not up to par, but that seemed like a way to upgrade the ROM, and I just did that a few days ago, to bring me up to the good TMobile rom.
Which part in there talks of how to upgrade to WM6?
Oh, and is it a better operating sys? Is it worth it? Or is it just aestetics?

Sorry for being a daft.
Read the descrip on the page but don't understand what this emulator is for?
Is this the Beta or just an emulator Bro?
Duh, this is clearly fake. You can tell where the picture was cut and pasted together to make it look real. And why else would it be so fuzzy.
so fake look around soem of the edge its like a very faint purple colour compared to his like black/creamy screen
also the rom image version page look at where the ram bits are weird how the number saying 31.blarmb is darker then the other text?
its just a fake picture :|
Still, will there be a SE available for the old'n'good XDA?
I feel like nobody is intersting in making firthere development on this unit...... :-(
Seems a lil dodgy to me... I had the impression current xda1's come with 64Mb, and he also claims it's a tri-band (900/1800/1900) phone...
It would really be nice to have WM2003SE on my XDA1, but with the XDA2 out there, I think it's quite unlikely we'll see any significant development for the XDA1.

Crossbow.please!!

Now that Crossbow is on other devices, any chance someone can mod it for Artemis?? Please.
I second that
I third that! Please o Please great geniuses!
Though i am not an expert, i really doubt that this is possible?! It was also not possible to get WM5 on WM2003 Devices... but i will be glad to be proven wrong

Technically it would be possible.
But we all depend on the manufacturers. If they don't supply us with upgrades, there's no way we can upgrade. So asking for it is of no use.

You could look to the magician forum and the number of threads there sugesting the release or possible release of the WM 5 update for the Magician.
But it never came.
If it comes it wil. There's no point to ask for is if it comes out it wil be on this site and forum. Its just foolish jiberish to keep asking for it. Its the same as all the people asking for an hack for the Hero devivce to enable wifi. But its simply not possible. But there are already 20 threads suggesting it....

yea! who are u to decide weather this thread is to be closed or not!!!
If u are not open enough to discussions, then what is the meaning of u hanging around in this forum!
Today, my cousin had just installed the WM6.0 in his O2 Xda MiniS, and when i saw it, i was thrilled! its super fast! it looks real cool, and the contacts, dialer and inbox are wonderful!
only thing is it requires Activesync 4.50 beta to sync.
The WM6.0 is testing roms are out for the Universal and the Mini S, and soon i hope someone comes up for the Artemis too!
Yeah, if ya don't ask, ya don't get!! Somebody might be sat at home with the rom we want, thinking no one else is bothered, so they keep it to themselves. I know there is several differences between Artemis & Phophet, but might it be possible to flash with 1 of there Roms?? Just asking!!?? No need to bite my head off, Manners cost nothing.
WHEN USERS HAVE MDA COMPACT THEY NEEDS WM2005
WHEN THEY HAVE MDA C3 THEY NEEDS CROSSBOW
IT IS FUNNY
and i need im my pda windows vista
or xp will be good
pleas help
as far as i know this device only accepts signed code in roms....so unless some one cracks the boot loader you will never be able to flash a custom rom...
in another hand .....i heard that there is a a test crossbow rom for your device,being tested by internal testers.....but this roms rarely see the light of the day.... but you never know.

We are close to that in Artemis... they should be able soon
The HTC Wizard + HTC Universal (which are designed as WM5 devices) have WM6 ROMs so.. there's a really BIG chance that the HTC Artemis will get the WM6 update too..
WM6 a.k.a. Crossbow is just a ROM that has some updates + new theme..
Why is it called WM6 then? Cuz people are bored and they're really waiting for some NEW sh*t! It just counts as a lil entertainment for us while we're waiting.
“Crossbow” (Q4 ‘06)
- Great mobile messaging
- Advanced Business and Enterprise propositions
- Strengthened phone experience
- Faster, easier application development and distribution
- Q1/Q2 ‘07 Marketing Launch
“Photon” (Q4 ‘07)
- New, Flexible Shell
- Modular Containers
- “Yamazaki” CE kernel
- Q1/Q2 ’08 Marketing Launch
Conclusion WM6 = WM5 + Plus!
will \wm6 crossbow (wwe) for htc wizard v5.2.660 work?
I was wondering, once there is ROM available for P3300 based on Crossbow "WM6", for this to be lfashed and updated to newer WM will I also need to CID unlock the phone first, as I am unable to flash other ROMs as of now.
Frankly speeking, ~$40 is steep price for unclocking, around $20 would be OK (please consider this ... to unlockers)

If a update is released by your manufacturer you would not need to unlock but if for instance you have a t-mobile phone and dopod comes with wm6, and you want to use that rom you would have to cid unlock.
Had this reply from Dopod Australia's support yesterday to me enquiry "Hi, I was wondering if there were any plans to release Windows Mobile 6 for the p800w in the near future?":
Hi,
It might be possible. We are waiting for Microsoft to inform us about this.
We will keep you posted.
Thanks.
Kind regards,

If and when you do a search on Google, you will most likely find website that will unlock your machine for about $7
Not saying that this will work on yours, but if you really want to be on the safe(save) side, just pay the $40 and you'll be 100% sure that it works.

RAM Upgrade?

Hi,
Is there anyway to upgrade the RAM in wing?
Thanks
None, unfortunately. :-/
Getting rid of the stock TMO Rom is the second best thing. Go to the Herald WM6 forum and pick one of the roms - I personally use open touch 2.x

True. With the stock tmobile ROM I had about 11mb of free RAM. With my ROM, I have about 28mb.

This is a Herald Forum. Please ask this question in the HTC's Magician forum. (There isn't, though, like oddball1 said.)
But they do have some cool hacks for it... please read CAREFULLY and understand the hacks BEFORE you apply them.

windows mobile 6.1 officially relased today!

As you can read on MS website
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/6-1/default.mspx
Today microsoft has launched Windows mobile 6.1
i also read this news on an italian portal (pockepcitalia) but theu say that HTC will release the update only for the TYTN II....
but why?
So the best feature IMO the sliding panel, is missing from the touch screen version of WM 6.1 nice
Well that link is for smartphone anyways,
but yes, pda 6.1 isn't that much of an upgrade, while smartphone version is.
that's my opinion, too
WM6.1 on PDAs is not more than a facelift.

No, WM6.1 more faster then WM6.0
And more stability.

I take this with a grain of salt. The OS always seems faster when re-loaded for the first time.

Yep...still too soon. I have done my share of OS upgrading too. Use it for a month or more then compare that device with a WM 6.0 device side by side.

You may be right on this. I also realized, that WM6.1 seems to have
optimized kernel and so be faster in response. So i confirm, that WM6.1
also in my opinion is "better" than WM6.0. My former statement of the
facelift was regarding to the optical appearance of WM6.1 on PDA devices
in comparison to the optical improvements of the Smartphone version.
Hope that made it clear
Olioaglio
As you can see there aren't that many updates from 6.0 to 6.1. But everything can run faster and better. (Hope so)

I rebooted my Orbit2 about one time per week.

It's not even sure if HTC will release a WM6.1 upgrade for the Touch Cruise.
Being patient is all what you can do, or use a custom rom

New HTC Snap Owner needs some guidance.

So....
I have a HTC Tattoo and I just ordered a HTC Snap, for development and business use (I'm a secondary school student and a soon-to-be freelance web designer) but I didn't want to get a blackberry.
I've got a few questions. The last time I've used Windows Mobile was ages ago, on a HP iPAQ rx1950. It lagged like crap. How is the performance with Windows Mobile 6.5? Is it speedy or is it still laggy?
That's the method of jailbreaking/rooting the HTC Snap? Can you link me to a thread? I've tried looking in some forums, but I'm kinda confused - too used to one-click-root on Android.... Heh. I think it would involve flashing the SPL, a possible CAB file to add administrator privileges and some other things.
What's a good ROM for the Snap?
Is there any chance of running Android on the Snap?
Thanks again, peeps.
The model of the one that I purchased is S521. What is the codename for this one?

WM6.5 on the Snap is pretty decent. It has a much faster processor and lots more RAM than the rx1950. WM Standard also tends to be slightly more responsive on equivalent hardware compared to WM Professional.

There is no jailbreaking or rooting with WM - admin privileges are automatic. App unlocking may need to be done depending on your carrier, but is a trivial process. If you're looking to flash a custom ROM, then HardSPL will need to be flashed. Check the ROM development board.

Depends on taste. Some people like a basic Stock ROM, others like an all-inclusive tweaked-out ROM like 3VO. If none suit your taste, feel free to fire up a kitchen and make your own.

HTC Maple, I think.
Thanks for the extensive reply. Completely gets me on track to get started with my Snap!
I'll possibly opt for the tweaked ROM, I looked at the screenshots and they totally impressed me.
For themes in WM6, is it like Windows XP's theming - a theme can change the look of the start bar and everything? Windows Mobile 5 only allowed people to change the colors and wallpaper... Nothing much else.
Thanks again!
