Has anyone tried installing the pre-beta version of Windows 7 (build 6801) on the HTC Shift?
I read an article on microsoft.com stating that it would have no problem running on systems with only 1GB RAM.
My main concern is if the Vista drivers will work properly on Windows 7.
Edit: I noticed that someone already started a thread about this topic in the "Shift Upgrading" category.
Windows 7 Pre-Beta on the Shift?
Hello Guys
1. Does Itjes 6.5 ROM simply upgrade the 6.1 to 6.5 still giving me the option to add any other roms in there ( i.e TOUCH IT or perhaps even original)?
2.How can i revert back to 6.1?
i have other question but ill ask them i guess once people get interested in replying...
Thanks
Yes, U can. Because I have tried it
thanks for you response, but YES to which question.
If I understood everything right, you flash a new ROM, e.g. the 6.5 ROM, then you can do a hard reset and you'll still have the 6.5 ROM, if you don't like it, you can flash another ROM, e.g. the default ROM, then you're back at 6.1... there is in my eyes no difference between a custom 6.1 and a custom 6.5 ROM (beside the changes from 6.1 to 6.5 ) if you want to flash it back...
what i mean is.
windows 6.1 or 6.5 is the OS.
the ROM from what i understand is completely different from the OS. For example my xperia is Windows 6.1 (OS) with SE R2A(ROM). What i was wondering is if i flash to 6.5, which im still under the impression is basically a beta upgrade to the OS its self. Can i hypothetically upgrade to R3A rom or Touch IT v4.5 and such?
the ROM from what i understand is completely different from the OS.

nope you're wrong. the rom includes the os.
if you flash 6.5 rom you get win mobile 6.5 beta and other stuff packed inside the rom. if you flash touch-it (insert lame version number) you will get win mob 6.1 AND tochflo etc.
you should read the boards .... x1 rom development.... Before you flash anything to your X1 you should actually know what a rom and a flash is . Otherwise your device may be damaged or you loose personal data.
A rom is the Operating System (OS) packed with programms and tweaks the cook likes.
the rom can be compared to the hd image of a computer
which include the operating system and all other programs
you can't replace the rom without replacing the os
even if it's with another os of the same version
thanks a lot Bros'
I would just like to point out that a new ROM version does NOT mean it is a new OS version too.
A manufacturer may release a new ROM version to fix a problem (eg. fix the camera software) but it does NOT update or upgrade Windows Mobile at the same time.
The new upcoming X1 R3A ROM i think will still be Windows Mobile 6.1, NOT 6.5. However, there are a LOT of updates in the R3A ROM, including new panels, panel manager, new camera software (now with auto-flash YAY!!! and GPS YAY!!!) and improved speed and stability. This has NOTHING to do directly with the OS (although SE might have done some tuning to WM6.1).
Feel free to correct me if wrong
pls advise....

Yea it happens, I use outlook and Sync Center too, times when it told me that its a desktop error means that Sync software simply can't sync as original parameters had changed and don't match. Mine reason was when I was using tweaking apps to change things on X1 such as what the contacts are sort by (firs-last, last-first); email settings changed; same with calendar. So just keep them original or try to reestablish your partnership with Sync Center, works with me.

The driver included with the SDK doesn't work?
I'm assuming you want the driver for adb and not the mass storage driver (which is already part of windows).
this is the latest htc sync drivers . hope it can solve problems with windows 8 developer preview...
version 3.0.0.018

THX, will add to my storage for future experiments
I cant find anything for windows 7. Apparently its been discontinued? Activesynce cant be found and WMDC is only good up until vista. What are some suggestions or work arounds?
Ive never flashed or worked on a windows phone before just Android
WMDC works on Windows 7 & Windows 8
It syncs with Windows Mobile
Windows Phone has Zune & by default does not work with WMDC or Activesync.
Also if you are using WP on HD2 some ROMs have Ultrashots WMDC Launcher built in so worth looking at thread below to get more understanding on it ...
