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...

I use to have a XDA 2 (well, SPV M1000) and (the important thing) a folder named "My XDA 2 must have". The software I use most, the software to backup, the software to keep not only to try. Like:
1. Sprite Backup
2. Visual IT Rough Guide to London (like A-Z map to central London + extras)
3. Splash ID
and not last
4. TomTom 5 .... and others that I miss already.
And THEN, here it is, I waited so long for it, (Exec) that I decided to switch from Orange, to O2, (Orange don't have this even now). Three days of "testing"...Well the device is great....Windows 5 isn't. (At least for me.)
My folder (My XDA 2 must have) is now "The software that doesn't work on WM5" ...None of the four named programs work...it takes ages to charge, it's slow, everything has changed...and how about that 'program' included "Clear Storage"??!!!
I thought it was something like remove programs, not a bloody HARD RESET!
Everything seems to say about Windows 5.....WHY FIX IT IF IT AIN'T BROKEN??!!!
BTW: Does anybody know a decent Wi-Fi Connections Manager that WORKS?? (Hitchhiker crashes my Exec, Retina Scanner wants to know what my socks size is when registering, Wi-Fi Companion Doesn't Install in WM5.........)
I am glad I didn't sell my SPV M1000 yet....but I want to....I love the Exec, but hate what it does...or rather what it doesn't!
..............helps us all !!!
You seem surprised that a major version upgrade (WM2003 to WM5) comes with occasional problems. Didn't we see the same when we changed from Windows 3.1 to Windows 95?
Later versions of desktop operating systems have some backwards compatibility built in, but with the limited resources of the PPC platform I guess they couldn't achieve everything.
We may not know what they are yet , but I'm sure WM5 has built-in features that drive the platform on another big leap and over time we'll take them for granted. I looked at my XDA2 last night (now two days-worth of dust gathering on it) and was reminded how fast it responded to commands, but it looked dated already compared with my shiny new Exec.
Don't forget, we're early adopters of WM5 and we're always going to have problems. When ROM upgrades are released and developers get new versions out for us, we'll wonder how we ever lived without it!
In case you haven't seen it yet, there's a thread running over at www.tekguru.co.uk listing the software that works perfectly on WM5. I found it useful when looking for replacements for my old WM2003 versions.
I have #2 and #4 working (for #4 you need TT 5.1 - d/l the update from their site)
Reinstall from fresh I reckon. And you are using activesync 4 not 3.8 still?
I agree with SiliconS.. I'm always wanting the very latest of everything (hardware and software) and to be honest, I'm surprised how good windows mobile 5 is!
There are many problems, like icons disappearing and speed etc..but they're not life threatening.
I only hope that the providers are going to keep up with the developers and release their specific patches..if not then I'll have to convert to the Jasjar rom :shock:
I love the MDA PRO even with it's problems.
Thanks for the help guys. I'll try these options as well.
BTW, anyone has any problems with the AvantGo software?
Also
#1 Try googling : Sprite Backup v3.2.0 build 2487.
Should be working with JJ.
Best of Luck. :wink:

This is real? had you used and work with restores?
Thanks.
From the Sprite Backup developers website:
"Sprite Backup is only compatible with devices using Windows Mobile 2002 and 2003. Windows Mobile 2005 devices cannot use Sprite Backup. We will be releasing a new version that will be compatible with these devices in the near future. Please keep visiting this site for updates."
I did try the version you mentioned but no luck. I use a Exec not a JJ...coud that be it? Thanks anyway...and damn I need a backup program...[/quote]
Here I am after another whole day of reading forums, installing and uninstalling, hard resets, trial and error....and things like that.
As far as the XDA is concerned....I feel better about it now, installed SPB Pocket Plus (works a dream), SPB Finance (great 'cuz it syncs with Quicken), and most of all, swiched to "Corporate" mode...and man, it is FAST now !!!
As mentioned before, Sprite Backup doesn't work, AvantGo works but not as it should, SplashID....nope. I did try eWallet, which works ok on the desktop but not on the XDA.
It's all good fun though.

I'm thinking that I might go for a hard reset and choose Corp, but I don't know how to set up the GPRS details. How did you get GPRS working for Corporate Mode, or haven't you needed to?
I do find the settings for all these connections v.confusing. I just want it simple, like my laptop! One connection does all...
Now that you mentioned that, I wouldn't know if I need different setting yet, as I am still on Orange for the next couple of days until they port my number. Interesting to see if it works though.
I've tried today the GPRS, G3 connection and it worked without changing anything. (In Corporate mode)
CAN SOMEONE CONVERT WM2003 INTO IPHONE OPERATING SYSTEM LIKE THIS GUY HAS DONE [ITS NOT THEME ONLY, ITS COMPLETE OPERATING SYSTEM], ITS LOOKING GOOD, HAVE A LOOK ..

For a few days before Chinese New Year, I've actually been quite busy developing my very own iPhone interface for the PocketPC. After looking at the functions and interface on the iPhone, I was keen on bringing it over to my Eten M600 PPC. The iPhone interface was pratical, looked neat and it was way cooler than any wm5 theme. And it was unique as well.

Why so damn loud?
It's the "COMPLETE OPERATING SYSTEM"? Are you sure, particularly given that even Apple doesn't have the COMPLETE OPERATING SYSTEM yet?
Check out this link and use the theme components. It should work on Wisbar on Wm2003.

The other functionality has to be backported and spliced into WinMobile. That's an ongoing task, on a case by case basis.

i dont know the stocks mod cuz i dont bother for this thing

I know for windows xp & such, you can change the taskbar, and completely overhaul the look of it.
Are there any such themes for WM5 yet?
in simple yes.
look for things like sdp pocket plus to change the home screen layout.
or wizbar advance / desktop these will change the look and feel to your device as a theme would in say xp.
or flash it with wm6
it looks so much better ;-)
but indeed with programs like wisbar and spb pocket shell, you can mock it up
where can one find wm6 for 8125? I am using cingular service. Tried to upgrade ROM to 2.26 and it failed saying this upgrade is not for your device.
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.
Hi people, I just got the HD2 and so far its been a positive experience. I have done most of the "tips" reg edits and they have worked so far.
Strange issue where Showcase program doesn't open straight away but will do if I start task manager, this is intermittent however.
I used to have the orbit 2 so this is my upgrade and the screen is amazing and very very sensitive.
It does stutter very slightly during some operations and the GUI interface is teaching my fingers on a warped learning curve; not sure about those emergency situations where I`ll need to call 999 and pray it doesn't open RSS feed, mind you same with orbit 2 (its not a phone but a computer!)
I now have a new "Storage card", same issue with Orbit 2..too must be a WM thing. Its workable though. I'll do a slow progression with ROMS later and see if they can improve any issues I've yet to have.
I wonder if the SPB mobile shell will work on this? I also wonder what is the best manilla alternative?
thx
after having the hd2 for 3 months i installed Mobile shell yesterday with the Sense theme. its great! you can customise so much. the only thing i miss is the weather animation. its also more responsive than Manila. anyway with the help of a cab file i can switch between both interfaces at will. just to be clear, i have Max Manila and still like it, but getting bored of it and needed more eye candy! keep your eyes peeled for Mobile Shell 5!
SPB 5! I had SPB 3 and was very impressed, a real phone changer. I hope it integrates well.
