Can I upgrad my MDA Vario WM5 to Wm6????
Dude, I know you're new here, but seriously. Search much?
Yes. You can. Search this bulletin board. Find out what version your hardware is, and you will learn how to upgrade it. Learn what you can.
Just an editorial comment: I have found that many users are dissatisfied with WM6 on their Wizard. Fact of the matter is, the hardware is dated, and doesn't like the processor-hogging action of WM6 without serious hacks and overclocking the processor.

Hey Myrddin, so you wouldn't recommend such upgrade? I've seen all sorts of opinions on this one but still haven't made my mind. WM5 looks awfully dated, it's the same OS I used to play with 5 yrs ago on old iPaqs...could WM6 be any worse?
I've been running NBD 9.2 w/touchflo for some time and its the best one I have used. I have tried a couple others that were not very impressive to me. If you upgrade run battery status and OC your cpu a little bit. In all reality, the biggest difference of the MDa vs Wing is WM5 vs WM6 and color.
So I say read about it, try it and if you dont like it.. switch to something else.
Take a look a these:

If you can do this with WM5, I ask, what's the point of upgrading? (...and I spent a long, hard, $10 on Wisbar Advance, the rest was done using freeware, and only cost me some time to modify to my liking).
I would never presume to tell anyone that this is better than that. What's best for you is what you LIKE most. Bugs and whatnot may not bother you as much as not having the latest edition. For me, consistent appearance is key to my happiness, and having the latest-version is less important than having stability in behavior, so when I find something that works well, I tend not to update it, short of "security" updates.

I remember from a while back that there was 2 versions of the wizard. One was the one that we are seeing now as the qtek9100 and the kjam and there was one that looked like the apache(cdma version) but it did not have the aerial stub so it could not of been the apache. Does anyone know if there will be a different looking wizard being made that looks similar to the apache? I am quite sure I like the apache design a bit better but I am looking for a GSM device.
Do you mean this ???
I know what you mean , I remember seeing the thread somewhere when info was very scetchy. The pictures we saw if I have you right where the K-Jam or Wizzard and the Apache although minus the arial. The first shots I saw of these were like this . Saying that though Mobilefun.co.uk swear their K-Jam unit will be CDMA even after speaking to them and sending them the Imate spec sheet .. If so then it's the closest guarded secret this century.
The Apache has just been released on Sprint in the states .. You lucky things :lol: I think though the Apache is now a bigger device than was speculated .. Could be wrong though

yeah that is the one. i am really looking forward to the wizard since it seems to have everything i am after with the exception of built in GPS which i will sadly have to live without.
it seems like the units that are coming out are all in the qtek 9100 style which i am not too crazy about. i plan on buying a wizard the second it comes out but i would like to buy the latter version if possible. trouble is that i am not sure if i will be able to contain myself from buying the qtek 9100 once it comes out. especially since we have not seen any of the companies use the latter version as of yet. who knows when it is going to come out or even if it ever will.
I always thought the alternative styles were prototypes. I do remember seeing different versions in the FCC database but the only difference was that one had a camera, the other didnt (to make the phone acceptable in areas where cameras are forbidden).
It is Dopod 838

These devices right out of the box just don't seem ready for market. Whether its some draconian bootloader not letting one install the ROM he wants or tweaks and settings that arent right, out of the box they leave quite a bit to be desired.
But then i comes the people of this board. As i read through the extensive wiki and went through the process of flashing new ROMs on my Hermes I really came to appreaciate the MASSIVE amount of effort put in by this community in order to allow this PDA to really live up to its potential.
So thank you to all the contributors! I couldn't have even begun this process without your help.
i agreee with you
Me too. You folks are great!!!
ditto!
I would probably have sent this thing back were it not for sleuth255 and mikechannon and goestoeleven and others working on this forum.
fortunately htc has this free resource to fix their buggy phones.
i'm still eagerly awaiting the 8525 aku3.3 update. cingular had said it was due out by feb 1st, but here it isn't. maybe it will be soon. I still wake up with a locked up phone pretty often.
thanks to all of you that have helped make this feature rich thing useable.
wes
Thank you and I too like this community

I agree with all the accolades given. I looked on this board before I bought the phone so I was prepared for what it was not when it came. I had also downloaded all the goodies and was ready to make it the way I wanted it. But since then, more and more things were discovered and shared. Right now, this phone is almost just right. There are a couple of things I am waiting for the new ROM to resolve, but it is currently the best device I have had yet.
As soon as a better toy comes out, I will quickly jump ship and take that one, but only if it has the kind of support this forum gives.

me three!!!
I was given a TMobile G1. I really like the hardware of the phone; however, I detest the Andriod OS. (I know everyone LOVES it, but I'm not among that crowd) My Main phone is a Kaiser. (Which I have a long running Love / Hate Relationship with) I need Windows Mobile, but I love the G1's hardware layout.
Is there a ROM out there (or is someone developing one) that will let me flash Windows Mobile 6.1 Pro onto the G1 instead of this awful cartoonish OS?
Thank You,
Karl N.
Sadly there is no support for those who can't figure out how to search.
I call this a troller

hmmmm true
Android is the future anyway, if you don't like it as-is just stick with the Kaiser. Winmo won't support the capacitive screen anyway.
Hey - Neoobs - Bite Me
Neoobs, I've been a member of this forum for as long as you. I just don't go around flaming people for posting a simple question. And since I was doing so FROM my Kaiser while on a SLOW GPRS Connection, searching the site wasn't really an option.
It was a valid question. Yes, I have since searched and found the other posts.
So in short, BACK OFF! It's people like you that make this place less and less friendly every day.

If you have been watching these forums your first post is identical to many others that were started by trollers. I don't get your logic and the reasoning behind it. You feel special because your browsing these forums on a phone on a slow dial up speed connection? So that means you can post and ask for help instead of search?
Maybe if you had posted around a couple times you wouldn't be seen as a troller. It is people like you that make developers want to stop helping those who indeed know how to search and use the search function.
In short, don't put yourself on that pedestal just because your too lazy to do the actual work.
Please direct all WinMo question/concerns at this thread.
This thread will be closed.
Thank you
So yeah - it's been a while since I've been in here... Been busy as all hell!
So tell me, what's going on in Hermes world?

Theres certainly nothing wrong with a Hermes. I'm still using mine every day with R13.5 of my ROM. I still can't pick any major issues with it!
What is the latest ROM for Hermes?
Is CRC 13.5 WM6.1 latest?
Any WM 6.5 ROMs for Hermes? ......
I gotta agree, I had 3 Hermes (Dopod 838pro). 2 are still going strong though the keyboard is fading on one - some keys are hard to press. 1 got stolen!

Define latest?
13.5 is the latest release of MY ROM.
WM6.5 is pretty slow on the Hermes. You can only stretch old hardware so far....
Hi everyone.
Not only me but, I think, many of you are attracted by how Energy ROM looks like. But the problems with memory do not allow to most of the users to have it for much time on our diamonds. That is why I want to ask the members of this forum to attach here files and cab's that will help to get an appearance of Energy Rom for the original manila 2.5. Thanks in advance
(In this topic you can see screenshots in the second post). This looks really nice and I want to have a similar look of Sense UI (on another rom)

Yeah let's not... I dont appreciate people doing this to my ROM. Thanks. If you want the EnergyROM experience.. download the EnergyROM and do your own RAM tweaks if it bothers you that much. Lots of people use it, as I cook it, so it can't be THAT bad.
but what is the problem with posting some themes and visual modifications?
he's not asking for someone to modify your ROM.
Im using energy since July 09 and I have to admit that Im moving to a much lighter ROM.
The "EnergyROM experience" ends with other ROM or in the moment that you have to deal with ram cleaners, but thats not the point.
I want a clean ROM with the eyecandy effect that you achieve.
I really appretiate your work! Thanks.
So, I am not rom-bilder and I am not going to use yours skin in the mercenary purposes. All I need is your eyecandy skin for htc sense and nothing else. Just for me. I respect your work and all your roms, but unfortunately there are some reasons why I can not use them.

Anyhow, let's all respect NRGZ28's great work and not copy stuff if the man doesn't want that.
My suggestion: Set the pagepool for the energy rom u like to 6 or 8. I use 8, don't notice any performance loss and hardly have to clean ram. (I don't use Sense)
