Series of devices made by Quanta. From this on, O2 Xda do not always stand for HTC devices. Included Atom, Atom Pure(white-colored version of Atom), Atom Exec and Atom Life. This series of devices have better hardware but fewer ROM customizations than HTC devices.

You may be limited on this site, bc not that many people may know much about it. Do you have the Stock RUU software by any chance?

Windows Mobile 5.0 upgrade for XDA IIi

Hi,
does any one know where can i get Windows Mobile 5.0 upgrade for XDA 2i?
Is it possible to upgrade if ROM is not available right now in future?
tia for comments
there is not any 2005 for IIi
that i know off
the official word from the people who sell the alpine / andes which the IIi a part of is that there will never be an 2005 update for it
so unless it's leaked like the himalaya version
or if somebody manage to move the rom from himalaya to other htc devices
then it will never be possible
Hi There,
thanks for reply.
so sofar only Windows Mobile 5.0 ROM is available for only XDA II ?
no other O2/HTC Models ( Pocket PC Phone) has Windows Mobile 5.0 ROM ?
well the himalaya is leaked as in it was never supposed to have gotten out from htc
and the official words from imate who also oem these devices along with o2, tmobile....
then there will be no 2005 for any of the current devices
the first 2005 device will be the utms phone called universal which will be prob be released this fall
there is also an 2005 smartphone rom leaked for the thyphone smartphone
hmm.. :x
seems like its good to buy a second hand XDA II and upgrade ROM to windows mobile.. :-( compared to buying new XDA IIi. :?
i wonder why HTC/O2/ is doing this.. :?:
why do you think 2005 is that important ?
it's more about having the latest and greatst
much software still run on ppc 2000 and even earlier
your device will continue to work for a long time if you just stick with your current 2003 or 2003SE
Maybe because WM2005 is:
More stable
Looks nicer
Easier to use
Better UI as a phone
Better Office support
And now Buzz has finally merged the Disk on Chip partitions to get 32mb persistant storage, it's even better as you will never lose your data if the batteries run down

Universal Tips n Tricks?

This forum is great for those with the xda exec. Just wondering are there a similar forums for the orange spv m5000 or t-mobile mda pro? ...or are the tips n tricks/software/firmware updates in this forum also apply to spv m5000/mda pro? . Thank you.
All the different HTC Universal devices are identical except for colour. You can change from one to the other by just flashing the ROM. So yes, the tips for universal phones apply to all universal phones.

thanks RyanZa.
So i guess this is probably the best forum for the Universal?
....so if i have an spv m5000 or mda pro.....is it wise for me to flash the ROM to an Xda rom so i can take advantage of this forum's (xda) resources? ...i guess doing this would void the warranty on the original machine?!?!
curiousmurf: the hardware is pretty much the same, so you shouldn't need to flash roms etc to use the vast majority of the info on these devices.
The underlying OS, (Windows Mobile or whatever it's called these days) is also quite liberally implemented, so most hacks you see for one device will typically work or have an equivalent on another device, unless specifically indicated to the contrary.

magician vs blueangel

we all know that there will be no wm5 4 magicin nd blueangel has already + qwert keypad and i think it is cheaper than jam ...................it just that bit is big can any body recommend any other solution or tell how well ba performs compared to mini
Yup the BA got a leaked WM5 test rom & Magician will never get WM5, but BA is more expensive. Not sure about second hand prices though.
I personally like the magician design much more & would go for a wizard, charmer etc instead of a BA.
For spec comparison you can visit the wiki, there's a lot of info there,

I agree, but I wouldn't be recommend a Charmer (though I had it) as it seems that (after a while in this forum) the number of users are limited. Go for a Wizard (if you like keyboard, but it seems that it gives problems), or a Prophet.

Maybe it's just the simple fact that T-Mobile (don't know about other operators) is selling the Wizard, but not the Charmers accounts for difference in the amount of users. It seems like a good device though.

It seems that MDA Compact 2 is the only Charmer around. If that
s the case, as with probability concept, chances of number of users on Charmer will be naturally smaller.
BTW, what do you mean by T-Mobile is selling the Wizard, not the Charmer?
Ok, apparently TMO is selling different devices in the world. Here in the Netherlands they sell the Wizard, Universal & one or two of the HTC smartphones.
Sorry my mistake, but if the MDA Compact II is the only one it won't be a large seller.

I upgraded from magician to BA 2 months ago. interestingly, the VGA camera on BA is a lot better than magician's 1.3 M. Speed is same on both devices(magician uses more advanced pxa 272 while BA uses pxa 260). keyboard is ok(not great like universal though). Battery life is bad compared to magician. Wi-fi inclusion is great. BT is better too(widcomm)

size-wise..its a mammoth, but, on the other hand, i can do a lot of work on it. On mini, the small screen prevented me from doing some serious work on it. eyes used to get tired easily(i am just 18 ). wm5 on BA is ok..tuma 1.4 has brought some problems, but, tuma 1.3 still works for many of the users.
i have reverted back to wm2003SE, because of speed(2003SE is like 40% faster than wm5), memory(128mb(ram)+44mb(storage)+13mb(ext rom)=185mb !!) compared to wm5 ba which has only 44+13 mb memory(which is still greater than universal, wizard)..he he
wm5 is good on BA, all-in-all

Yes, it is ard $70-80 dollars expensive than mini. Universal has its own share of problems. But, it is completly different product IMHO. On the other hand, K-jam is not at all mammoth size. It just a bit too think(almost similar width as of universal). If you seek for similar size as that of mini, go in for jamin(imate) or Atom(o2)

Add the device driver of WM6 for our Xda IIi, Should we?

Add the device driver of WM6 for our Xda IIi, Should we?
thank everyone!!!
Yes, we should.
totally support.
I see that if we not consider the processor, HTC p6300 is very close to Alpine specifications, can't we extract the p6300 rom, upgrade the processor registry (taking informations from the Universal that has the same Intel cpu) and try to install on our Alpine??
best of luck with it, i can imagine theres a lot of people hoping and praying its possible.
Any update on this topic yet?
worksofart I think you should try with O2 Xda Atom Exec, it is the same spec, but rom on alpine is 128mb and on is 192mb. If you look at that way, it seems logical. I dont know why people say it is impossible? Why? I cant find any good reasons. I have prophet, but I want to help you people get WM5 or WM6 on Alpine becouse it is a great device.
Can anyone help on this?

Seperate thread for Atom Life

There seems to be MANY users with the Atom Life. I'm in the process of getting on through my work, and there is a LOT of people posting issues for the Atom Life within the threads for the Atom.
From what I have been able to gel, there is only passing similarities with the standard Atom and the Atom Life. This will surely lead to ill-informed people trying to flash Atom ROMS to the Life and eventually when a new ROM for the Life is available people will try to flash that to their old Atoms. Jiggs said that there are layout differences in the way that these two devices are produced, and I would therefore expect that after doing this, you will have a brick.
To avoid this issue, would it be possible for someone to create a new thread devoted to the Atom Life.
Regards
Delta

100% agree...
I second that we need a separate area for atom life here
i think it very good
Yes.. I also agree... I am also a new user of Atom Life.. it is too difficult to find the correct info here and some of the information is very confusing.
Totally agree.
Completely agree
that was great idea since atom life is differ from the other atom products...
i am in this.
I'm in too!!!
Me too!!!!
me tooooooooooooo
yep! we shd have diff thread for atomlife.....
No updates from Mods yet?
I belive we'll never have an own sub-forum for Atom Life.
Why ?:
- The Atom Life reaches his end of lifetime soon.
- There is no developing community like for Atom/Atom Exec and this side called "XDA-Developers" and not "www.Please-help-me-I-f...ed-up-my-Atom-Life.com"
- more people are interested in HTC devices, even if all the new devices from HTC are the same ****.
- there are no updates from O2. So for what we should talking about ?
i'm having probs with atom life......the battery runs out very very quickly
awful review of o2 atom life
just did a quick search on the web. the review of this phone is pretty awful!!!

Agree
Totally agree, trawling through the current Atom is frustrating.
Atom Life .... is that what they call it????
ok i have an atom life haha feels like it at times!
all been fine added what i wanted etc had it since its release in Oz ... now all of a sudden the bluddy O2 Plus wants to upgrade and whether i say yes or no it turns off the device and nothing happens i cant get it to go away and now the device is playing up a bit.
Do we have a new Rom yet since the inception one? or how do ya fix the stupid O2Plus crap?
