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

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.
hi everyone. i like gadgets... who doesnt. i dont like them for their technicalities, some people do though. i like them for the way the look and feel etc. some of you can call me a poser!
anyway, i have the samsung omnia and i really like the black and silver theme that a few folk were talking about. it looks great. however, i understand zilch of what is being said about how to get it to work.
can someone be ever so kind and post a step by step guide on how to get this done? would really appreciate it.
also...if i ever decide to use the gps navigation thing, will i be charged for it?
im with voda and get all gprs data free, i know thats totally diff, but as i said before - im totally daft.

unhelpful or what!
can someone be ever so kind to help me out? please!!
thanks
The problem is, your asking on the wrong forums...
Xda god bless 'em, are a HTC only forums, and although the hacking and dev forum is a good read they are not really in the Samsung fan club...
Try here instead....
http://www.modaco.com/category/342/i900-omnia-http-i900-modaco-com/
Sorry to link to another forum.... only trying to help..
More specifically... http://www.modaco.com/content/i900-omnia-http-i900-modaco-com/273151/change-colors-samsung-menus/
And you should have posted in the "Official Omnia" thread under off-topic as this is a development and hacking forum ...
As already stated this is HTC land and much as I would like to help I have a HTC not an Omnia and dont have a clue.
However check out the link below,
http://www.imarche.net/omnia/index.php
Its free software that works on both platforms and lets you easily change skins.
It works great but you have to buy SPB Mobile Shell that it works with but you can get a 15 day trial for free. Its well worth a look if you dont want to learn to much and want to try loads of skins.

Hope this helps

HTC-land?
Is the complete xda-developer.com a "htc-land".
Damn!
I thought it was primarily a "windows mobile-land" and definitly not a specific "htc-land".
Sorry guys.
My mistake. Just a pity that I'm not a HTC-owner but a samsung Omnia-owner.
Don't worry guy's I won't disturb the peace in "htc-land" any more..

im new on this forum, well i was wondering witch android is better, the linux or froyo? i just got my hd2 from tmobile and i want to make it a android phone. also can any one help me out on what i need to do to install android on my hd2???
oh no you didn't!!!!!!!
You should really have posted this in general Android discussion, this forum is for develpment of Android.
But you just need to hard SPL your phone, and follow the instructions posted in the stickies. Not going to bother posting it as it's very easy to find pinned at the top of the forum. Also you will probably want an Evo or Desire based build but that's as far as I can help you, everything else is sort of trial and error.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734335
this should help you
This is getting as bad as the G1 forum
Sent from my HD2 using XDA App
Ban!!!!!!!
I kinda feel bad for how much your about to be owned...
The fist few threads in the General forum explain everything you need to know, and pretty much every build has individual instructions.
Simple answer in there is no 'best android'. Each build will suit everyone differently. Look at the features of each one a pick one you think will suit. You'll probably need to flash a new radio and ROM before hand... spend some time reading and try to get familiar with the whole process.
The best one is the one I use

Do not answer these threads seriously. If anyone wants to install Android then they will read the instructions that have been there forever or do a google search for one of the million pages out there. It's one thing to help someone who is using their own mind to think. It is something completely different to help someone who expects you to do the thinking for them.
In short, dont encourage this behavior by responding to these threads with a serious answer. He violated forum rules by making this thread.
thread closed buddy,
Find the build that fits you best.
What is it with some of the owners, and developers of the MT3G? Seems in every active thread that we have people bickering, and nit picking each other. I don't know if this is going on in the other forums, but really is it called for? This phone already has a lack of development. The damn G1 gets more attention fro developers than our phone and that is about a 3 year year old phone.
I appreciate all the developers that work on our phones trying to keep those of us without the funds to buy a new phone busy with new ROMS, Themes, Ports and whatever else.
I agree, and patience is a virtue... which nobody has evidently.
I appreciate everything that the devs and other members do here, I'm not smart enough (Yet) to do my own deving so I'll be happy with whatever anyone puts out with no *****ing or complaning.
What ever happened to respect?
When the G1 dropped I was one of the first couple thousand owners shipped, I was rooted the day I found this site, and flashed a new ROM every freaking day it seemed. There was a fury of activity over there, and even there was a little bit of this going on. But then it was more so noobs not reading and asking questions and bugging the developers. We lost a couple great developers from those beginning days, but also spawned new talent.
We all have a common goal here. To push our phones beyond anything the manufacture thought possible (look at what the G1 is doing) But it seems all we are doing is trying to knock each other down.
I wish I had the time to rehash some of the programming skills I have lost over the last couple of years due to the closing of my computer and the opening of a HVAC company. Sense that is not an option I rely on the developers here.
I would love to see this phone brought back to life.
Just to add to this, if you ever see a post you are not happy with, or is what you believe to be nit-picking, flaming, trolling, abusive, rude etc... Use the report a post button and it will be flagged for me or a senior moderator to deal with.
For those of you who don't know what the report button looks like.

Okay, since no one on XDA knows how to operate the search function or even read a thread on the first pages of General or Android Development that they post in, I'll make this tutorial.
1. Click this button:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2. Type in what you think is a useful post:
3. Check the threads that result.
4. If they don't pertain to what you want to talk about, then make a post. Might want to do a few searches.
5. If search is down, at least look past the first thread.
For the love of God, please do not make any more HC threads.
The Nook Color has a very ghetto-rigged version of HC that barely works. We don't have it because the AOSP hasn't been released and the boot.img hasn't been grabbed from the Xoom (more important than the system dump). Another issue is Nvidia hasn't released the Tegra 2 proprietary libraries.
No one on XDA knows how to read apparently. Just a few threads for HC:

Really? 14 threads in General about HC and 2 threads in Android Development (not counting deleted/moved threads).
If you don't want to be flamed here, don't post things that have been posted.
P.S. Sorry to go all out on you, but I and many others have gotten tired of sifting through all this clutter.
Ugh... Nevermind.

Thanks for seeking to be involved. I am sure that TheJesus (non-deity for sure) meant no ill will.
Search can be daunting to say the least as it's not very intuitive - I do know that some changes are in the works for searching at an undetermined time...
Closing this thread to stop flaming.
