614c WM6.1 home screen... - Sable

Hi,
yesterday I was reading about putting new WM 6.1 on my 614c. After reading all day long other ppl experience about WM6.1 on their devices I decided to put it too….
The main reason I put it it was when I saw this link: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/meet/wm61-faq.mspx . (I don’t like 3th parity appz so my PDA can “look” different).
After WM was done installing on my PDA I was a bit puzzled. My today screen is/was looking the same like on WM6.
So is there by any chance something I’m missing here or theirs no such feature on our beloved devices?!?
TNX
Btw I have iPAQ 614c ROM WM6.1 CE OS 5.2.20757 (Build 20757.1.4.0).

Hm... yes, you seem to have confused the home screen on Windows Mobile Standard with the one on Professional. WM 6.1 Pro's home screen is exactly like the one on WM6.
If you're really against 3rd "parity" plugins, I hope you're ready to wait until Q2 2009 - that's supposedly when WM 7 will be out.

That’s odd a bit.
Coz I taught it was like in Vista case. Vista Ultimate has all the features it’s up to the user which one he will use and which one not.
So from my point of view WM Standard has better GUI than WM Professional.
But nwm I will wait…
BTW tnx 4 answer and keep up the good work.

Touch flow

Hello i'm new here.
I try many touch flow with my pocket pc ipaq 5450 with windows 2003 on it but nothing work. So i will apreciate if someone cant give me a link for a touch flow software for windows 2003 Thank you very much.
ps: I'm french so my english is not very good
it is unlikely that any touchflo alternatives might work on 2003.
I would believe that the internal workings are just too complex.
I run icontact on my pocket pc and its look similare and i installed HTC_Touchflo.cab and i only see a gray page with icon and all the stuff only one time.. i never see the page an other time
Someone have a hack or something to upgrade my 5450 to wm5 ?

tytn like iphone or i-mate go desktop is possibile?

sorry one question:
i have tytn with original windows mobile 6 professional
O.S. cd 5.2.1437
i can update this?
i can make icon menu like iphone or i-mate go?
how i can?
thanks and happy new year.
Do a search for ifonz... Skin your Hermes today screen to iphone like ui.
Do a search and a lot of reading as the initial setup can be time consuming but once there its good. Also would be a good idea to use some backup software , I use spb backup 2.0.1, as it is a hassle to have to setup again if a HR is needed...
Cheers...

wm 2003 CE/SE or wm 6.1?

what are the advantages/disadvantages of wm2003 / wm6.1? which one is much better? coz for me, wm 6.1 is really nice but i miss the storage memory on wm3..so i'm thinking of downgrading to wm3...so i would like your opinion about the 2 roms/versions..
I have the same dilemma, wm 6 is slower but much nicer... I don't know many other advantages...
advantage of WM6 is that there are a lot of cool new third party applications available for WM6 while 2003 has a few really old ones and not many new ones being released anymore.
hmmm....how about WM5 then?
I forgot the most important difference between 2003 and WM5 and 6. Persistent memory. Meaning if you run out of power your data will not be erased in WM5 and WM6. Between 5 and 6.1 the most obvious difference would be threaded SMS.

ok..what i only like w/ 2003 is the storage capacity..it's far more better than wm6.1 but i could live with that..
WM 6
Hi i bought my first htc himalaya (02 XDA II) off ebay for 80 quid two months ago and it was running wm2003. Cause im only 12 i thought it would be great but i was let down by the interface and there wasnt much on it. So i decided to do some research on later versions of wm. And found that on 6 there are a lot more things on offer. So i said "sod it im gona update the system" and i did twice with diffrent versions and found the one i liked. Since then i have played COD 2 on it with NO LAG! So i think it is THE best!

[Work in progress] Win CE 6 for PPC

Why not !
I'm own Win CE 6 SDK and VS 2005. I start developing custom OS builds. It's going fine, I can build custom image, here is example.
It is compiled for ARM so architecture is compatibile with WM Devices. It generate ROM image which can be moded with existing tools. At this stage I want to develop good, stable image, and then start stage 2 - Combining WM drivers from WM device (They are back compatible) with Win CE 6 image.
We will see if this will end it any way, I will informe you about progress...
The first and two last screenshots show IV distribution which is "universal" and total commander runing fine
The second screenshots are from first, profiled version, but they show fine some win ce features...
At this moment I must update distribution to r2
If you saw, or not... Win Ce is runing fine on Nokia N800, the video was also posted here: http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/27/vmware-mvp-weds-windows-ce-and-android-in-unholy-matrimony-on-du/
Edit: If anyone is interested what components and features can be included in build, I created screenshots which show them:
http://rapidshare.com/files/204557405/features.rar.html
Edit 2: Currently updating to R2 for maximum quality of release.
looks good, i think, whats the implications of this exactly?
wm6/6.5 is built on winCE 5, right?
WM 6, 6.1, 6.5 = CE 5
WM 7 = CE 6
Generaly CE 6 is faster. mor stable than 5, there is also more drivers, I test pocket total commander and it works fine, win ce 6 also use cab installers but they arent the same as for wm, they need litle modyfications to run on ce
sounds good
man, i wish you all the best.
(topic notification ON, pernamently!)
looking forward to this!
Good Luck!!! will keep an eye on this thread..
This is really good for those GPS programs that only CE car units can do. This would be amazing step towards running full gps sw with all options on a ppc windows mobile way to go..
I wish you a luck... fingers crossed.
I own only PB5.0...
Good Luck Dude..Hope u comeup wid a Revolution..
Will you produce a kitchen for all devices presented here, or (and) others as well?.. And how do you think, could the drivers porting process be a hell?
wow definitely subscribing to this thread!
but are you using a derivative of the meizu firmware based on wince 6? Wouldn't that be easier than making something from scratch? Is it possible to port that to our devices? This is an excellent morning treat =)
As I say before, porting drivers is not requried, becouse drivers work on kernel level so there is no somethink like WM drivers, there are onlu Win CE drivers, But drivers from Win CE 5.2 (on which are based all WM devices) are compatibile with CE 6. I'm curently working on stable distribution for Win CE 6, then i will merge WM emulator image with CE image and will see if it will work, if yes I will go to hardware test - my candidate is my ipaq 214 becouse it is perfect for Win CE due to strong hardware, and there is not many drivers to repleace becous this ipaq doesnt have camera, gsm, gps... If this all will go fine I will publish distribution and instructions how to do this...
not bad
so it will still take some time before it is seen on a touch pro which isn't bad
in fact I have no knowledge of this truthfully ><
I am very happy you are doing this
but as far cosmetic design how does this differ from wince 5.2?

in case of Kernel it is like XP to Vista kernel, in case of UI there is not big difference from 5.2 to 6
but then with this would it be possible to integrate at least cosmetic theme like uhm this one

minus the multi touch feature

Is a completely different APIs in there? I'm talking about porting OEM apps...

No the API's are most the same, there are eaven the same DirectX and DirectShow, as default Net cf 2.0 can be included
I was actually thinking about something like this about a month or two ago.... i watched the vs studio videos on it and it just started looking like it was a little above my level for the amount of time i had Good luck on the project!
To those of you worried about cosmetics...
Right now we have the control to customize about 50 to 60 percent of the ui. With a custom build of wince, everything is 100% customizable (because we have access to the source code.)
I like customizability but I have no clue on where to begin ><
that would be the sucky part...but if it is touted to be better and faster than win ce 5.0 it would be something I am willing to try

is windows 6,5 available for htc touch 3g jade?

is windows 6,5 available for htc touch 3g jade?..help me out

yes. now help yourself and read all the info that's available.
Take a deep breath
Sorry about the not so friendly people on here!
I did it last month, and it was very easy.
It all looks very complicated, but you only need to attach your phone to the computer - run two programs, and then let it all boot up as 6.5. Then hard reset again - just to beat out the bugs.
The first prog is explained here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=514406
Then you choose your version of 6.5. I used Megade 1.7.5
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550553&highlight=megade
There are about 51 pages of questions, but I just downloaded the program at the top of the page, and the vibratefix.cab, or something like that. I've had no problems at all since.
6.5 really is much better than 6.1
