The Magic can upgrade WM5/WM6 disappointment, so powerful configuration and even impossible Take WM6 disappointment. A strongman change this situation?
Eh? What do you mean?

I think he meant he's disappointed that there is no WM6 for the magician Considering its a powerful device and is asking any strongman(sorry im not that buff Lolz) to take the challenge.
Why hasnt anyone made a wm5 rom for the magician? Its not like the device lacks the stats to run it.

After reading the numerous WM5 threads here in the magician forum, there are three reasons for this:
1. The lack of drivers,
2.And the most significant of all, the memory is too small, i think you need atleast 128MB of ROM.
3. The device is already old to even be given a new rom by hackers, most of them got a kjam or hermes already.

I dont know much about the drivers but in sure that some one could create them, a device called Pharos Traveler 525e runs on 64mb of rom and has windows 5.0 installed on it, there are a few others out there aswell that run on 64mb of rom, The main reason you need such a high level of ram is because of the way wm5 was made, if you install all your programs on a sd card then your problem is virtually gone. The device may be old but im sure that there is someone out there that has the know how to take on this project.
Not RAM, Its the ROM which is small. Theres no deal with RAM, some imate jams have 128MB of RAM,heck even my iPAQ is running WM5 on a relatively small 64mb of RAM (32mb of which is useable RAM), but it has 128mb of ROM. Magician has only 64mb of ROM. The only way i know to have WM5 but still maintain the classical,simple and elegant look of the magician is to trade it for a charmer. But you lose CPU power in the process (magician-xscale;Charmer-TiOmap)
My bad, i meant rom, ive changed the post.
The Pharos has 128MB of ROM and 64MB of RAM see the specs.

It says 64 MB ROM and 128 MB SDRAM.
my bad
HP iPAQ hx2410 Pocket PC (FA298T). this device runs stock on wm2003 se but has an update to wm5, it runs slowly but it works. heres the link to check the stats. http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/uk/en/sm/WF06a/21675-21679-21679-21679-297609-10244635.html.
The thing i dont get is, if you can update this to wm5, why cant it be done for the magician, they have relatively the same stats.
Look mate im not trying to be difficult for you here, you were asking the reason why, and to save you time i gave you the reason which has been repeated for numerous occassions whenever some idiot who doesnt know how to search the forum pops up the WM5 question. If you want to satisfy your curiosity then i advise you to course through all the WM5 threads in the magician forum starting from buzz lightyears thread, and hopefully youll get the answer your looking for.
Why not?
We know how to add/remove files from the ROM, many components from the Magician are used in Himalaya, Universal and BlueAngel
ex:
PXA272 -> Universal
Bluetooth -> Himalaya (both uses BlueCore3)
GFX/SDIO/USB via PXA272 -> Universal
Touchscreen -> Himalaya, BlueAngel
maybe some others, I don't know how many drivers we have to identify, and if the compatibility will be possible with a different architecture/mapping...
And Himalaya and Blueangel have 64Mb ROM and works on WM5... I don't mean we can have a full featured WM5 for Magician, but a "as small as we can" ROM, just for the POC, and let ppl build some special ROMs for special use-cases
I'll try to gather more informations on the forums on how they did cook first releases, try to create a kitchen (Blueangel or himalaya kitchen should work without many changes), and a DEV folder with filtered registries...
And maybe, after WM5.... WM6? And long walk has to be done before first ROM
--------UPDATE-------
The biggest problem seem nk.exe... since there is no nk.exe (WM5) for magician, we can only expect to hack some nk.exe (from universal for processor compatibility), or find a magician-like (same processor and major components) device which already has WM5... It may be a long long and risky walk...
@Eikichi
I have read the forums, but still dont get why the magician cant run wm5 when there are other devices out there that can.

The minimum requirement of Windows Mobile 5.0 is 32MB RAM and 64MB ROM. For devices having only 64MB ROM, there is a high chance that the devices may only be using a reduced version of WM5.
For example, HTC Galaxy has 64MB ROM and about 33-37MB of it is for persistent storage. One of the models of the upcoming Fujitsu Siemens N500 series may also have only 64MB ROM. And WM5 upgrade is also provided for devices having only 64MB ROM, e.g. iPAQ hx2110/2410, FSC Pocket LOOX 700s and Acer n50.
Taking the HTC Galaxy as an example, a reduced version of the OS may be less than 32MB. Let's take a look at other WM5 devices and their config:
* HTC Universal: 128MB ROM and about 44MB persistent storage
* HTC Wizard: 128MB ROM and about 47MB persistent storage
* HTC Galaxy: 64MB ROM and about 33-37MB persistent storage
* Dell Axim X51V: 256MB ROM and about 195MB persistent storage
* Acer n311: 128MB ROM and about 84MB persistent storage
* FSC Pocket Loox N520 (engineering set): 64MB ROM and about 26MB persistent storage
* HP iPAQ rx1950: 64MB ROM and about 33MB persistent storage
* HP iPAQ hx2190/2490: 128MB ROM and about 80MB persistent storage
* HP iPAQ hx2790: 192MB ROM and about 144MB persistent storage
I got the above info above from the link below
http://www.ppcsg.com/lofiversion/index.php/t59946.html
here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=312625&page=2 last post something that convinced me not to wait for WM5 (the english is not perfect but the point is there). But if you guys are up for the challenge, by all means my best of luck to you and thank you in advance.
The thing is though, wm5 has been put onto a device with the same rom and ram stats as the magician, so that guy is wrong in saying that it wouldnt work.
Since no visible WM5 for the magician is existing not even in experimental form, dnt u thnk d presumption that he is correct works for his favor? anyway you can rebutt all you want but the bottom line is... "There is no WM5 for the magician" in actual or experimental form.
upgrade my dopod 818 pro
wher can i update my dopod 818 pro from wm5 to wm6
Seem easier to finish the work on porting linux...

Maybe should ppl investigate linux as a solution... Linux exists for magician (I tried it) but still some work to do to make it bootable under linux (but has been made successfully on other devices, including WM5 compatible devices like ipaq hx4700).
It's legal (not like cracking ROMs) and a lot of informations already exists, and you won't have restrictions on how you use your GSM modem...
Magician could handle WM5... But it would require too much work for what it would offer. Linux is for me a better alternative to focus on.

Its worth making the rom so that finally we can have wm5 on magician
I just got a replacement Elf from Orange & it has two new 'touch' keyboards in the 'messaging' app, that my previous one did not have.
The OS is 5.2.1620 & build is 18125.0.4.2. Is this something new ?
Cheers
sorry to reply to my own thread.
This phone appears to be a lot more responsive to 'touch' & even Win 6 seems reasonably fast.
It's Elfin a.k.a. Touch XL. It has got 128 MB RAM and 256 MB ROM, new touch keyboards and sometimes few other improvements like Media Streaming app etc.
Thanks for that.
Very strange, as this is definitely an Elf0100 - says so in the system section - also is the lower memory version, only 64mb ram & 128mb rom. But appears to have a system change from my previous ( stolen ) Elf.
I quite like the extra keyboards. Easy to use.
Elfin identifies as Elf0100 too, but if it has got 64 MB RAM it's not Elfin. So maybe it's one of new WM 6.1 Elfs? There is no official HTC ROM, but there are few made for mobile operators. Check OS version in Settings -> |System| -> About and tell us
The OS is 5.2.1620 & build is 18125.0.4.2.
White Orange (jan 2009) elf/elvin?
hTC
CE OS 5.2.1623 (build 18129.0.4.5) - - memory 107Mb ?????

im thinkin PPCs would be like a computer, the max ram is limited by the hardware it has. and im guessing (not sure) that they would have put in max ram from factory since it is not easily upgraded like a computer...
i could be wrong, and hope like a mofo i am cus that would be great to have 3x the ram
Get rid of the keyboard and wifi and get a touch. Not work Upgrading titan.
i cant give up the wifi, and specialy the keybord, fell in love with the keyboard with my ol MDA... fuk the touch, find a fix for the titan. obviously this is in the titan section because we WANT the titan, not want another cell. even if you could format a mem card to work as like extended ram like you can with linux, cant remember what its called... but that would be good
Hello,i have a simple question
My Touch HD show that it has 192mb ram instead of 288
When i go to task manager it shows:
Total:192.86
In use:102,80
Free:90.6
In the information about the Blackstone its written that it has 288mb RAM,so where are the 96mb that are missing in the task manager??
Is it a problem or it's like that with every touch HD?
no one knows?

What is reported is the available RAM for applications, the rest of the RAM is reserved by the OS (Windows Mobile - it looks like you're using 6.5 w/ Manila 2.5).
This is correct and unavoidable - what seems to be missing is consumed by the page pool, caches of various kind, etc..

Testing your ROM now Feropont
I seemed to have an error, when i flashed the phone and it goes to customize settings, says failed HTC Log error.
I cannot navigate the phone and it is freezing... I managed to get to the file explorere though to reflash it again. I think i may have had a bad flash.
I'll report back. many thanks
Reflashed the ROM ,working great now! i love all the mods, they are so profesional! Please could you upload the files fro teeter please? it is the only ROM that has all functional HTC apps! Alos free RAM is quite low after a while.
But great ROM!
How about ROM_Clone_Touch HD (Blackstone now)?
Haha that would be awesome! I can find you the pacakges if you want. It uses less RAM and ROM.
touchflo 1.3 + wm6.1
How about it?

From RAM memory there is a common phenomenon, unlike other ROM in my ROM included in the work of all the services HTC, one Opera 9.5 eats a fairly large amount of RAM, not to mention the other services HTC. And yet I have RAM does not fall below 70 mb, remember the time a month ago, you were glad that the first load had 80 MB, but now that has changed, spoiled you kindly huge RAM memory I'm not a huge fanatic of memory, I'm concerned about the maximum functionality of the software otherwise I'm just not interested.
Thx my friend

Yeh it wont have that much memory as the htc dialer + htc services take up RAM. but i can manually disable them
or you could do a perfectly clean ROM, just pure 6.1 + touchflo 3d 1.3..
that would also be nice!
thanks feropont!

yes i am RAM addicted.. enough is never enough! i dont know why, but i always want more RAM when possible. its just my personal preference your the rom chef anyway, so your rom customizations are entirely up to you
