[Q] HP iPAQ Data Messenger

Hi, Sorry if ive missed something, but i have looked on here and google, my friend has a HP iPAQ Data Messenger, and i was wondering if they are any custom roms for it? or if theirs another name it goes by since i cant see it anywhere on here?
Thank you in Advance.

Nope no roms, i just sold my Data Mess because of that.
It is a way too new device so there are no devs using it. Especially since it is way too overpriced.
But unless you/he is in desperate need of 6.5 i sugest you install Manilla and some apps to make the best of it. Hopefulle HP will release 6.5 eventually but no guarantees.

new rom update from hp here:

I loaded new rom from hp support.
pda is better...but it needs more....

would be really great if someone were to cook a 6.5 for this phone. problem is finding someone other than us who bought one...ha!

bump...... Somebody as to be working on this.

agree
Totaly agree with you, someone has to be cooking something, cause the Data Messenger is quite a good phone.

I actually just bought a brand new unlocked iPAQ Data Messenger yesterday for 200 euro.
Right now I'm busy changing the Win 6.1 UI so it's more finger friendly. But WinMo 6.5 itself would be killer.

.
Well, I have done the same, I have installed HTC Home plugin + LG Today Plugin (just search the forum and you will find it)
That's the best and most stable result I have got to get my Data Messenger finger friendly.
But I agree with you, WM6.5 would be a killer.
But when I see that is me and a few others that are using this phone I really thinking about to sell this phone.

Did anyone tried installing SPB?

I'd cook it my damn self if I just knew how. I've used to had P2K Motorola's that I used to mod and flash the hell out. I just have no idea how to cook a WinMobile ROM else I'd use my own Data Messenger as a test machine.

iPAQ Data Messenger ROM is encrypted, so there is no way to make a custom ROM yet.
Maybe someone will ever make a tool to decrypt / encrypt the ROM.

You're reffering to the OS-1.00.05.00-751-WWE.nbf ROM?

Yes, OS-1.00.05.00-751-WWE.nbf

Ok and so.. How come the Voice Messenger has been decrypted and the Data Messenger has been not? Are they THAT different?

Yes, ROMs are different.
It's easy get XIP and IMGFS parts from Voice Messenger ROM, but it's impossible with Data Messenger.
Short ROM HEX example.

No, that does does not work. And NEVER try to do something like that.
ROMs are device specific.

Why not available in hp ipaq data messenger for windows mobile 6.5 rom?

Do you know if there is any problem upgrading a data massenger with an official hp rom in a language different from the original one?
Eg I buy a data messenger in english and then I upgrade the device with an official hp rom in italian.
Thanks

tattoo apps compatibility??? :(

hi, i am going to buy htc tattoo in 2 days time. before that i need to know whether i have plenty of apps alternative to windows mobile apps.
i also heard that its a qvga screen, so developers have to sign it to get it working on tattoo (240x320 qvga screen). is that true that we may expect good number of apps for this device??? by the grace of developers showing interest in developing apps & games for qvga screen(old mobile screen)... ????
will it be future proof ???? i am also not sure about the availability of upgrade to android 2.0 from 1.6. can anyone reply to these messages???
waiting for ur responses.... if i wanna install any application on htc tattoo, where do i get the apps & how do i install it???? like is it like just clicking on exe files as in windows???? or is there any special way how i should install apps & games????
i know it may sound like a noob talk. but what to do, i am totally new to this android thing..... no idea on how to get it started & know more about it, android & its different versions of OS..... kindly throw some light on where to get all information about it & its uses over windows mobile.... in simple & detailed manner.....
detailed information is highly appreciated...... thanks

I switched from a WM HTC Diamond to the cheaper HTC Tattoo and find it quicker, and with more apps!
But it might be useful for you to tell us what apps you want/use already, and we can say whether or not they are on Tattoo.
As for 2.0 who knows, talk is it should eventually get the upgrade but not exactly high priority,

Info
I have also switched from HTC Diamond to Tattoo. I know that Tattoo is cheaper but I like it more.
To install .apk you can use HTC Sync. After synchronization you can find on main screen HTC Sync :Application Installer and you can use it for install any application.

You can use ASTRO file manager to install .apk from Tattoo

There is no problem with APPS, I already have installed even AndNav2, and There is a lot of software in the market. Something that Diamond doesnt have
This phone beat the Diamond with performance, software,easy to use and price, but not with the display resolution.

how about upgrading android 1.6 to 2.1 on htc tattoo ??? any ROM available yet??? i wanna try that version of android OS on my htc tattoo.... any input about its guide would be appreciated.....

@kashish, where r u from buddy??? u just vanished after u asked me a question??? fine... i wanna know if 3G is launcehd in India, can i use it with my tattoo with firmware update??? ur reply is highly appreciated pls....

Hey guys, I need some assistance here. I bought a Tattoo and believe me I love it - even coming from higher-end Android phones, the problem is that mine is apparently a Malaysian variant and there is no ANDROID MARKET as such - only SLIDE ME. I am not sure of the difference in availability off apps between the two, but I have heard there are only 25% of the usual apps on SLIDE ME as compared to ANDROID MARKET. Anyway, my main issue here is that I cannot get any Instant Messenger apps like Agile Messenger or doc viewers like Adobe, Quickoffice or Documents To Go. Are these available (even in paid form) for the Tattoo? I love this little phone and it is super-fast - but I NEED these apps on the Tattoo. Anyone able to shed some light for me?

Right now, I think only BSNL or MTNL provides 3G service. I just activated Vodafone's EDGE service, known as Vodafone Mobile Connect, and it works just fine with my Tattoo. GPS, Twitter, Facebook updates... all work just fine. I do hope that when more operators start providing 3G service, HTC releases an update to enable 3G. I am pretty sure that it's a software limitation and not a hardware limitation.

Documents To Go is available.

Oh really? I will check that out on SlideMe and hopefully that is the case!

i wanna know how i can convert cab files to apk file.... because i can see swype application for windows mobiles being available in 4shared, but no swype apk file anywhere on the net.....
i request here, is there anyone who knows how to convert cab to apk ???? i know it may sound silly.... but i am a noob here. i also understand that it needs to be coded and all stuff.... but as i said before, i wanna know how to do it step by step..... please......

OK -Documents To Go IS indeed available for the Tattoo users out there! Looking for a good IM app next!

Meebo's a pretty good IM app. Give it a try. Available on Market.

Skype for Windows Mobile IDEA

Hello guys, so all you know that Skype just stoped the WinMo version with is very very bad But i wonder few things.. so for example i have few versions of Skype and none of them work on my Touch HD they just don`t want to conect anymore.
But on the same time using 3rd party software like IM + or anything similar you can use Skype.. what i mean is that maybe they just make the Skype for WinMo to not conecting anymore somehow..
I think some advanced peoples from here can try to "Hack it" somehow and we still to be able to use the Skype.
I mean that when you trying to conect maybe the Skype identify you like WindowsMobile or anything and thats is the reason why you are not conected and i cannot understand why then clients like IM+ work without problem this mean that somehow we still can use SKYPE no matter from all.
1st Idea is the latest Skype 3 to be modified by the XDA advanced users if they can make it somehow to work or identify diferent way and we to be able to conect to the Skype server.. in this case we will still use the original SKype and have the same Skape Interface like befor and etc.
2nd Idea to be designed complate new Skype for WinMo like some users start the project XDA Facebook so if enought peoples want it and need it can be done something like XDA SKype for WinMo
Thanks

Hi Tsalta,
I'm using the latest version skype for WM on my Blackstone without problems.
I can't attach it here as it's bigger than the limit, but if you send me a PM with your email, I can forward it to you.
Rgds

Hi,
I've the same problem on my Omnia :/ (Samsung I900)
Skype doesn't connect :/
I've send to you my mail adress
thx ^^

how go get skype on 6.5
i have a tilt 2 and cannot get skype to connect either. can someone pm me or post the link. thanks

Wow, I was gonna start a new thread with question similar to this!
Well, I'm using Skype almost perfect on Diamond, Touch Pro, and Rhodium, so that means the Skype networks are still giving support to us. BUT, as all of you now, the software support for WinMo 6.X is also discontinued, so we will not have more updates on this. Does that mean is "free software"? Because right now Skype gives Iphone users videocall support, and didn't give to us, when we were more users from 6.X then that iphone users at this point...Money rules I think.
Well, the purpose would be to hack last version, or build a new one with videocall support! Could it be that possible!?
So many thanks to everybody here!

Hi Guys,
Can someone please provide me with the link to the latest skype version that i can download and use on the 3 network please.

[Q] How to install WM6.5 on a WM 7 Device ?!!!

Hi Everybody !
you all know how strange it might be some requests form your boss but this is the most strange one !
My Boss has a system that work on WM 6.5 only and doesn't work on WM 7 and he requested that I should Provide him with 40 New WM 6.5 devices !
you know that they are not available currently So I figured out that I should buy new WM 7 Devices and Flash it Back to WM 6.5 !
I think theoretically this is possible but have anyone tried it ?!!!
I want to Try it on HTC 7 pro Device , Could anyone tell me wha the steps I need to do that ?
any other suggested Devices ? I only want it to be New ,with QWERTY keypad and I can install WM 6.5 on it !
Thank you all in Advance.

Your only choice may be a new 6.5 device, and not much else. The HTC HD2 is still available, here in the UK, it is now the only 6.5 device stocked by Expansys on their web site.
How much longer will they be around? What's HTC's roadmap for the WinMo HD2?
Flashing 6.5 over a Phone 7 device, is asking for an expensive error.

I know that HD2 is the Only WM 6.5 device that still Availble but the problem is that HD2 Doesn't have a QWERTY keypad and the system required a lot of Typing.
Thank you for your support.

Hi mka00,
If you can't find new WinMo device with qwerty keyboard it is possible to use if the course its acceptable as an option the mini bluetooth keyboard.

[Q] Windows mobile 5 and Android device

Hello Guys,
I have a very tricky question for you, so if it is not possible to do what I want, tell me.
I work with bats and I need a windows mobile 5 device to make a connection with a bat detector.
I also have a HTC One X "global edition" and a malfunctioning HTC HD2 "Leo" that I think it that can be repaired (it fell in the water and the backlight is not working). The first one is running the newest Sense and Android 4.2.2 and the last one has a ICS ROM.
What I am asking you guys is:
It as any way to running the WM5 in the HTC One X using a "emulator" or something?
Or you think that is "easier and cheaper" to repair the HTC Leo and downgrade to WM5?
The program that I need to use is capable to running in WM6 but not in all devices.
Thank you!
Best regards,
Fred
PS: If this thread is not in the right place, I am sorry and move to the right place, please.

Hello, if you need a gadget running windows mobile 5 natively, I have a HTC Universal (MDA PRO) lying idle somewhere in the house. The problems are that I live in Germany and the OS is in German. You can make me an offer if you dont mind to have the gadget notwithstanding.
