Windows Mobile 2003 Icons - JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General

i got these question going thru my head for a while now...
is there any icon set available for windows mobile 2003 to replace the orignal one, you know to revive this windows a bit coz really the stock icons are way outdated.
if any one knows where or how to change plz tell...

Dont mean to revive an old thread, but you can try the method in this link. Might work for WM2003 also.

The easaiest way is to visit
http://lumpistefan.dyndns.org/
choose the 2003 Rom that suits you best - country etc.
add the programs that you want and cook a Rom to an .exe file.
Copy all your network settings down to paper.
Then run and install the new Rom and then replace all your settings.
It really is very straight forward I managed it and I am not overly technical.

Not possible without ROM upgrade, as poutlook is an integral part of Windows Mobile OS. its not a standalone component.

Windows 6.5 ROM questions...

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....
hi, i had some question hope you can help me...where can i download wm6.5 for the x1? isn't stable?

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.

Windows Live

G'day Guys,
I just would like to know if there is a way to remove Windows Live ?! I couldn't find it in the Software list do deinstall, the reason why I want to deinstall it is, cause I found in the Windows Marketplace a new version and it says in the description, prior installing Windows Live 11.0 I have to deinstall my Old Windows Live. But I really don't know how to do that.
Thanks in advance guys.
Well its in your official ROM so i don't think you can remove it, you have flash a new clean ROM... unless someone else knows another way.

It doesn't actually install the new version with the old one still there. I can't even find the exe to just delete it.

[Q] Does anybody have the original imate pocket pc rom?

I wanted to downgrade my pocket pc os to it's original rom because the windows mobile 5 does not have a transcriber.thanks
Hello nfstanton,
I don't have any i-Mate ROMs, but would be willing to search if I know more about what you need. I bet the following information might help others want to help you...
Could you list the model name or number of your i-Mate?
Are you trying to downgrade to 2003 or 2002? With or without phone? What language ROM?
Any chance you know the ROM version number that you want?
Wishing you success.
ph10b windows mobile 2003..thanks
LOL - I see that is a hard to find ROM... HTC Worldwide doesn't even list the Himalaya on their Support page anymore. Other resources I checked don't have it in repository either.
One quick fix may be to Download the install package for Transcriber direct from M$. It is listed for WM 2002, but may work under WM 5.
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...c3-2eee-41e3-9339-f7b303f4b386&DisplayLang=en
They have it in English, French and German...
Or
Here on xda I found an "All Himalaya WM 6.x ROMs" thread by user maggie
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=379017
Lots of ROMs in multiple languages to choose from...
Some of the links might still be good... Maybe an Upgrade instead of a Downgrade??? Especially since WM 2003 is next to be phased out of support by M$.
P.S.: I'll still poke around looking for the WM 2003 a bit... Post back if either option above solves your problem so I don't keep searching needlessly.
Here is a Blog with info and working download link for a cooked version of WM2003 ROM which installs on all Himalaya... (It appears to be an English Language ROM)

And a working download link for "himalaya_wm2003se_upgrade"

That's all from me unless you post back that you need more help.

Thanks
Thank You VERY MUCH for helping me You're like a angel sent from above i will never forget you
Yay!!!!
I'm glad you found an answer. Honestly, that post made my day. Thanks Bro.
There's a little problem
I'm having difficulty changing the operator in the WM2003 nbk and radio files..it says that i have to use command prompt and enter the words in the instructions so i entered them and it says that it doesn't recognize the syntax...How do you really change the operator ID of the ROM? Please elaborate the steps..if you can.Thanks
I'm honestly not up to speed on Radio Stacks... There is a large group of threads for your device here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=243
Or maybe try the xda wiki pages?
