buzz

I dont have a Himalaya but you rock anyways Buzz. Keep up the Good work!!

Good work...and...
Hi Buzz,
I'm been away from the forum for a good few months and I'm very pleasantly surprise by your excellent work.
In fact, after reading through the few threads on WM2005, I'm now the proud owner of a revitalised XDA2 with WM2005 v1.60a installed.
The only pet peeve I have is that Maction Monster Chinese and the likes don't installed well on the system anymore. I've a geniune need to read Chinese on my PDA phone, and I can't do it anymore with WM2005.
One approach I can take is to be patient, and another approach I can take is to ask you for a favour to join some other top brains here to figure out a good solution.
Obviously, there are mixed reports that certain patch like fontpatch.CAB, chinapatch.cab works for previous v1.50x versions. It would be some registry tweaks, or memory allocation issue, which your expertise would be sorely needed.
Cheers,
Henry

I saw Asukai thread on wince.nls. Great job there as well. I've tested it, and concur with AzN_devil that the Chinese-specific region settings cannot be seen in the Region Settings window for v1.60a. He claims that it works on v1.50h though, i think.
Nevertheless, I made some more tests and I can read Chinese display text on Word Mobile. Unfortunately, Chinese e-books still come out with gibberish text.
If you can shed some light on this mystery, I am sure the community continues to owe you yet another big favour. :wink:

New forum? (Blue Angel WM 6)

Is it time to ask administrators about new forum?
Why?
WM6 for BlueAngel is working. At least several people here (including me) was able to use beta version.
Beta version is good enough for everyday use. In fact: it is release candidate.
Author (helmi_c) promised to release soon. very soon.
A lot of people here are interested in this release.
So...?

Request passed to the admins, i've also tried the beta and it's really worth a new form

Why not!! I totally agreed with it as this will ease members to navigate right info.

Can Anyone send me a ROM file?
Thanks a lot

wm6
yes i would like to try out the wm6 for my sx66 also why dont you release the new os today or tomorrow i think that would be very nice. please send me the wm6 please.

You all will try it out when the time comes: 31.08.2007

WM6 Forum
I agree - a new forum would be great for all including Newbies and BA fans alike... also to stop rip off mercahnts charging £10 to download on ebay!!!

After the release we will need to update the wiki as well

I second this request too.
Create a sub-forum for BA-WM6...

we have to wait untl 31 August

i am speechless here guys

It will probably be the same way: put your device in "upgrade" mode (power+record+reset) and run maupgrade_noid.
I'm not sure if you can restore any backup.

Cool... great to see the new forum. I think I will lots of work this weekend

Report WM6 on BA
1. Speed Good
2. Battery to waste
3. Can't wireless Modem
4. Phone Singnal Good
5. Why I can't Sync Calenda now In used Active Sync 4.5
Please Help me This very Importance
Total Every thing It OK I try to test This Rom

New Sub Forums ...
hello everyone!
after the new WM06 forum is getting bigger and bigger, with an already overwhelming amount of information, i would suggest sub-forums for certain topics...
for example:
one for helmi_c's wm06 rom general stuff and bugs,
one for upgrading problems and questions,
one for addons and third party software
one for misc stuff...
of course their might be better categories, but what do you think about this in general?
just thinking....

Hmm...you are right, these people have been lying. I just clicked and followed this link sent to me by a friend, and now I'm the owner of a WM6 (not 5! it's soo much better) device! Try it out!

magician upgrade
hey guys if u r all genius who make wm6 rom for devices older than magician then, just tell me why the chinese made smartphones & pda's can run wm5/6 though there hardware is much more lower then magician, and why i said that u were funded by companies is, because i m not smart like u so one thing that i didnt get is why the reasons have been changing for NO WM5 FOR MAGICIAN from 1) lack of ram, then 2) lack of rom, to 3) no drivers & 4)nk.nbf problem AND SO ON, If rom was problem then this forum itself provides link for 64mb to 128mb & still no wm5, doesn't this all seems to be like som kind of lack of intrest, or too many coincedencs in the device, PLEASE dont TAKE IT PERSONALLY but to my other friend who also answered my post i would only say that if i were also genius ass like him, then i would'nt have been in the forum. One more thing is that why do so many people seems to be claiming that they have seen wm5 on magician,

magician wm5 bcoz
no i m not calling the founders of the forum assholes, i m just saying that that when jam 128mb=charmer or so they say then why cant a charmer rom be customized for magician. u r the most experiencd people in this community, but i get a feeling that u did not give it your best try due to other prospects

You make it sound as if it is an obligation for someone to provide you with something, tell you what, how about being productive and learn to customize at least the 2003SE OS (so you would know at least the feel on how difficult it is for rom cookers) and provide us with at least a customized version like taxist(not texas) has made for the magician instead of whining and bellowing obnoxious and disrespectful statements which would not in any way encourage or at the very least strike an interest for any person to develop ROMS for the magician.
Whatever reasons they may have for not developing further may include other personal reasons other than your far fetched conspiracy theory, and if you cant contribute something which has the slightest merit in this forum then i say, shut up and respect them dumbass!

yeah! we need wm5 or wm6/6.1

yeah i want wm5 and 6 on my magician,but because i can't make it happen,i don't call anyone like you did...

With all this in mind: Can someone point me to where I can find a 'kitchen' to cook my Magician ROMs? I've searched the threads with no success.

Stop bad language for Magician
Come on, guys! please stop using bad language because you just can't get what you want from this forum. Everyone even tries to offer freebies. No WM5/WM6/WM6.1 for you because failure in trying. Try but faill. Try and fail. Last but not least, try by yourself. If you, Magician owners, succeed at even attempting to create WM5/WM6/WM6.1 Magician ROMs, that would be great. Thank god you truly did it.

please stop fighting and behave like sensible forum members.
Thanks

Why has this forum been taken over?

Just wondering, this is the HTC Sable forum, yet it's been taken over by unrelated phone posts.. TONS of them..
I come here from time to time looking for info for my iPAQ 6945, and every visit, there's more and more off-topic stuff here, and it makes it harder and harder to find Sable-related posts.. Why is this?
Eric

Beacuse both 91x and 61x owners are here
e.g. I have bricked my 914c while flashing with a 614c ROM My mistake...but think about it...

well once upon time when 61x/91x is out people thought it is also manufactored by HTC so they start dicussing it here. Eventually people figured out it is not made by HTC but there are already several threads about the tools and roms for them so the trend just continue. At some point there is also post in the "Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking" forum but gradually people just post here as it is easier to find info about 61x/91x here.
So not much can be done..there are several options:
1. keep it here
2. move all 61x/91x post to "Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking"
3. move to other site
given we have 4+1 roms here, move will only work if all rom chef agree on that..

Hey Shep/Eric,
Sorry for the 61x/91x busy-ness going on here! But please don't move us, we'd have no where else to go. Well, maybe there'd be other places to go, but xda is my favourite! I used to have two HTC devices, but was scared about making the move to an Ipaq because I wasn't sure I'd ever be able to drop custom roms on my phone ever again. But when I found out xda had this sub-forum for "Sable" devices, I was overjoyed, and continue to be now that keyes, benjaminries, montecristo, and anyone else I missed, have continued to provide awesome support for our devices!
How about we all just consider ourselves part of the Sable family, with the 61x and 91x devices considered Sable offspring? xda is hands down the best forum in the world for our devices!

Honestly, there is very little anything these days about the older iPaqs. This forum would be pretty dead if it didn't become used for the newer HP models .
The bottom line is while clearly the 61xc and the 91xc phones aren't htc phones nor Sables, I don't see that any harm is being done by discussing them here .

What about me? I think there's no one expert ROM care or enable to make WM OS ROM Upgrade for my device hp iPAQ h6365/h63xx abandon in here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=497826 Poor of my device ... !

I hear you, it just seems weird there's no dedicated forum (here on xda-developers, I'm not saying leave the site, sheesh! )
I've had my 6945 for 2 years I think. I still like it, but I wish there was a ROM update for it. That's one of the main reasons I check here from time to time. What exactly is needed for a WM6/6.1/6.5 ROM for us? I keep seeing stuff about 'we need a full rom', etc. Certainly this could be had by now, with all the other WM6.x phones on the market, no?
I'll start a new thread with my current problem though, no one will be looking here for it.
Eric

Okay great thanks Shep! lol
Maybe if you make a request thread, someone may be able to work on it for ya...I'm sure you're not the only one!

Yeah, we're always hope to not being alone in this forum, including me!

we're very grateful that xda-developers have been extremely kind.
xda-dev have been so helpful in every way not just to xda/htc users but TO ALL Pocket PC users of all brands!
This site is such an asset to Microsoft and to the Pocket PC world, that the contributors here should be rewarded/donated by these companies in the millions of dollars, I think! Because so many of the faults and problems created by them (unintentionally of course) have been so generously repaired, fixed, mended etc by the selfless contributors here.
Hope you can extend this generosity to us other users with not enough numbers to start a meaningful site such us the ipaq users.
thank you so much.

hw69xx Done
We al saw it coming, at first I was pissed, but when you really think about it, There is no helpfor Sable / Beetles users. Although this thread is overrun by newer hp models, In all actuality, what harm is this doing to the Sables Owners.

Calling all fellow developers for Xperia X2 custom rom/app development

Dear Fellow X2 Users,
I have been reading through all main sections (there are only 3 lol) of the X2 subforums and cannot help noticing how much more threads/sections and more importantly more development is being done on the older Xperia X1.
For me I see this as ironic that an older model is being tweaked more when internally they both have similar hardware.
I would summarize the X2 as a well designed device on the outside with a bad software system. We have gotten as far as getting rid of the junk that SE has put as "wrappers" to give it some eye-candy. We have made it usable and we have made the battery last longer. I am a programmer who believes that anything is possible if we use what is availabe to make amazing solutions.
Looking at windows mobile 7 although it promises fancy games and fancy social connectivity I do not think many professionals will consider those as useful. So I do not think the Xperia X2 is dead. I think it is like Knight Rider's car without Kit installed yet!
To the point (finally! I hear some of you say) why not make a team just like the htc developers have and work on some alternatives to minimal X2(skip default cabs) and bugged X2(default)? If we cannot cook roms, I say make some custom set of cabs that get the job done. I see so many good cabs in the forums: fm radios, handwriting recognition (kudos to fadi.b), the multifix cab, and an overclocking cab that boosts speed to 1000Mhz! (in some cases) and so many other I can't remember at the moment. We need to combine what we have into something better than the original X2 software.
I know I have not participated in these forums much, but believe me I have played around with the X2 just like the rest of you. I am asking for a concerted developmenteffort so we can solve the many issues mentioned by the X2 community.
Why not have development sections? A WinMo section is definitely a must.
Or an Android section like X1? A features request sticky inside these too would be good for everyone. We have to share some crucial information so a thread for this is important as well, e.g. keymappings, APIs, etc.
It is my hope that after reading this more people will try to approach the challenge of customizing the X2 in a more organized and successful way. Instead of deciding who should start, I think we should focus on how we ourselves can make it work!
To the Forum Mods: I have placed this in general section because imo it regards X2 as a whole and not specifically for ROM development or apps, rather a combination of both.

Totally agree with you!

I am agreed with you.
Please any programmer or developer contribute your specialist and skill here.
But,I am noobs with the software programmer...

I think we should make a new thread and see how many people would be willing
to put some money to offer the developer of the Hard-Slp.

i hope !!!!

Guys check this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=716798

I also agree with you.
Please developers must take initiative to make x2 successfull.

im with you too guys, but i know that most developers prefer htc phones over other phones so you see many great stuff in htc forums ... so i thing a big motive for developers is to make abouny for hard spl and this will really attract developers ... sorry for my bad english

This is HTC hardware.
Second,i will donate or pay for any hardspl that would make this thing usable.
I do not have enough time to devote into "modding" ripping the software until i come out with an usable x2,so i would gladly pay to get something to put on this usefull 500$ phone.
I think that like me are many users that would give to say at least 10-20 euro for something to make this crap work better.
Kind regards to all and i'm still hoping to see something done for my X2.

Hi hi! Sorry for falling off the edge of the internet platform! (was busy ).
Good news! Got myself a new X2 hehehe. Yes am serious about getting this from piece of mediocre communication device to at least X1 status!
K, I will summarize what is required to develop applications for the X2 and Windows Mobile phones in general:
1. Development Environment to make programs: Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 or Sharp Develop IDE. Search on Google to find more
2. HEX Editor to analyze/break apart data: No idea yet! Still searching for an updated one. Maybe Hex Workshop. Got an old version of that somewhere.
3. Registry Editor: CeRegistryEditor, Awesome registry editor for playing around with registry key settings. It uses ActiveSync and you change settings on your computer.
Will update this list when I find out or remember more items.
Good day to you all and please, don't give up!

I have come across this some time ago and it is what I mentioned in my first post about a minimalist X2 (no unnecessary things). I have been there and although it is nice to have a phone that works I would like a phone that works AND looks and works beautiful!
Hope you see what I see now ^^. Not iPhone killer lol, just something better than what we have now.
