Windows Mobile 2003 or 2005 XDAII upgrade

Hello,
I was wounder where I can get the latest upgrade for my XDAII I already have Windows Mobile 2003 2.06.00WWE on O2 in the UK
It doesnt have windows media player 10 tho.
Anyone now?
Thanks,
Steven Ross

If not mistake, wm10 only appear in wm2003se ver 2.207

I used Windows Mobile 2003 SE and it's a great release but it does not include Windows Media 10, the only device to date that has WM10 is the JAM. So far no one has been able to implement WM10 on an XDAII (or any other device as far as I know).
But as me, You can try Windows Mobile 2005 but you have to remember that it's a BETA release, so you will encounter some problems but at least you'll get to enjoy several improvements also.
I'm happy with WM2005 because:
1. Bluetooth is much MUCH better. I use it for Activesync and bluetooth headset and always works even at the same time even while on a call!!!
2. Better GUI including Phone Dialer
3. Much more stable, even though it runs on very limited resources, it feels peppy and responsive
4. I feel safer knowing that if I ran out of battery my data and installed applications will be safe thanks to it's new persistant architecture
5. Picture and Ringtone assignment under Contacts (no more clumsy IA Caller ID).
6. Better MS Office Integration (i.e. Excel now can produce Charts)
7. Windows Media 10
Problems with current Magneto release that I can live with in the meantime:
1. Video Capture has a limit of 240x180 pixels and seems choppy.
2. No MMS
3. No Activesync through USB
4. Very Limited Program and Storage memory
5. Certain Apps and games that I like are not compatible with WM2005 yet.
Best regards,
Rayan

Dell Axim WM6 - XDA-Dev apps/hacks Tried and Tested

I'm starting this thread so Axim users of Football's (et al.) wm6 ROM can share what, if any, applications or hacks found on xda-devs that you have tried and recommend for our favorite VGA non-phone HTC device with the latest OS.. Also post which did not work, worked but not useful , and what tweaks were needed to get them to fuction best.
Note: Please note the original thread/post and give credit to the original developer/poster when you can. Also note what device (x50v or x51v) and ROM used.

HTC Audio Manager for VGA
I tested this version of the HTC Audio Manager and it works well and displays in full VGA. (Other versions found would not display well)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=327188
The only problem I see is that the remote bluetooth controls do not work like they do on WMP. Also, you better like green.
Tested on Axim x51v with WM6 A02beta

pBar by nncuong
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=284952&highlight=pBar
Task switcher/close-button/quick-launcher/wireless-toggler/system-info application all in one tiny place. Basically a magicbutton-like replacement for the fake 'close' button.
Just download and place the pBar.exe anywhere on the device. Latest version (v1.4) has problem that hitting the OK button on dialogs may minimize or close the main app if you select the 'Show Child Windows' option.
Tested on x51v WM5 A17, WM6 A01 and A02Beta (now also tested on A03 preview).

PocketCM Keyboard by Tene
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=321712
Alternative keyboard SIP with better feedback for "finger typing" (similar to eye-fone keyboard). Fully configurable to any keyboard layout/language you may need with word completion/correction and predictive text.
Note: You will also need a VGA skin or it will not display correctly. (Rename the zip file you download to .skin and copy it to the application install directory - '\Program Files\PCMKeyboard\' if installed on device )
Usable, but new versions are rapidly being released with additional features. (Currently at v 0.8)
I found a 'spanish' layout in the forums that I like because it has more keys on the last line (including . and , keys near the space bar). Even though it is a 'spanish' keyboard layout, the dictionary can still be set to english.
Tested on x51v with wm6 A01 and A02beta.

Contact Manager v0.11 by TENE (Not PocketCM)
Want a scrolling, finger friendly contact list (ala eye-phone).
I have tested the original Contact Manager v.11 application found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=314048&highlight=ContactManager
Unfortunately, this is no longer in development, and has morphed into PocketCM (also by Tene). PocketCM was designed for wm6 phones and will not work on the x51v (Error on startup). According to Tene, it will not work on any non-phone PDA.
Direct link to old CM v.11 http://www.pocketcm.com/olddl.php
Tested on x51v WM6 A01 and A02beta
Anyone try the other finger scrolling Contact Managers out there?

That has nothing to do with this thread. And no, if Dell never released WM5 for the X5 series, there's no reason to think WM6 will be released for it.

what about Internet Caliing (wm6 voip ) at Ax? it doesn't seem to work at all.

Are you referring to something like Skype?

this is not a app but it adds the clicks when you click on menus and stuff
tested and worked on x50v WM6 A02 rom was from the a person that work on the porting of wm6 to HTC Wizard don't remember
I also tested the home plug in and battery tray icon from the htc touch rom don't show up. (install but don't see them)
it maybe a vga compatible problem

I tried the Fix_WM6_Sounds.CAB file from above on Football's wm6 A03 preview. Works well. Adds the "dinks" and other sounds when clicking the menu. After CAB install, I did not notice the new sounds until a soft reset.
In the Football x51v WM6 thread, someone complained that there is no 'uninstall' of the CAB if you want to stop the new sounds. What I noticed is that after you install the CAB and go to Sounds and Notifications, the settings may be unchecked even though the sounds are activated. Just enable all the settings for the sounds (even if they are already active) then uncheck them. (i.e. cycle on, then off) By unchecking Events, Screen Taps and Hardware buttons, I was able to 'silence' my Axim as before.
Edit: Menu clicks are part of Events. After this CAb install, you can't silence the clicks without silencing all event sounds. See this thread for more info and two other sound schemes you may want instead of this one that adds all sounds back to wm6.
Note: It appears that all of these CABs add missing/new sound files and registry entries to access them. Fix_WM6_Sounds.CAB adds sounds to the scheme called .AllSounds. The CABs in the other thread add two more (.WM5 and .WM6). According to that thread, you can switch between them by changing the registry entry for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Snd\Event\.Scheme followed by a soft reset. You could also edit the .AllSounds key to remove the sound file definition for menu actions. See the other thread for the locations of the string in the key. (looks like its position 10 & 11).
This is another useful post about sound schemes.
Update: I created this Registry code that defines a new scheme called ".SomeSounds" and sets this as the scheme to use. The only difference between this and .AllSounds is that I set menupop and menusel to "empty" sound, thus eliminating the clicks on menu but not the other events. Note : you need to do a soft reset after importing the registry. Use a software based soft reset because for some reason the hardware reset button on the back will reset the registry back as well. I use the soft reset button on pBar.
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Snd\Event]
".SomeSounds"=hex(7):41,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,72,00,69,00,73,00,6b,00,00,00,43,00,6c,00,6f,00,73,\

Any chance of this? Or is your ROM version as minimised as it's going to get already?
Better having a separate thread as well, makes it so much easier to keep track

Modify wm6.1/5 rdp client (10min idle issue)

The new remote desktop client from ms has two annoing things:
1. It automaticly discconects after 10min sharp
2. I can't make a connection to the internet
1. In de early wm6 client you can add the value mintoidletime:0 in the registry or in the default.rdp file. Then it won't dissconnect what is perfect, but in the newer version it does not work anymore.
2. If there is no internet connection it is not able to make a connection to internet, like ie activesync can.
Can some patch the mobile client dll or exe so it won't dissconnect after 10 min with a little explation for further releases how it's done?
I don't think it is easy to solve 2 with mod the exe or dll but how know's.
Version 6.1

Version 6.5

Thanks in advance

solution ?
Hello,
please, how to edit or where modify the mintoidle in the registry.
I need in wm6 solution this problem (10 min idle), but i don´t know.
thanks.
sorry for my bad english

yeah
Would you like to have the total home made installer or just the dll.
I found a way my self and now it works great as it should. rdp 6.1 and 6.5 i have.
they still can't make the conenction by itselfs but the time limit is gone.

Is Video enabled skype coming to WM 6.1?

Does anyone know if this new video enabled version of Skype is being ported to Windows Mobile (6.1) devices like the Touch Pro? Any timeframe.
Thanks,
Joe

Skype for Windows Mobile is not supported anymore ...

certainly not.
why?
because winmo 6.1 is purely and simply dead.
because winmo 6.5 is also in the graveyard with his little brother.
because skype has made already an end to this both plateform.

hahah hardly
wm6.x is hardly dead. is much more versatile than i-app-phone or goo-OS app crap...
Skype is losing revenue because there will be many that wont switch to limited os app based garbage.
cell phones in general are becoming dead in the beginnings of losing like landlines were 10 years ago... and there are other voip alternatives. you just have to look for them.

Salt at all, someone can tell me if there is a link to download a version of Skype running on a Samsung i900 Omnia with windows mobile 6.1 pro.
thank you for your interest.

Hi yann73 , in yahoo or in google search for "skype windows mobile" , look for the link that says "Skype Windows Mobile ... v3.0.0.256" , download file from a trustworthy site.
There are two types of files out there, one is a cab, another is exe, same version. Get the "exe" version.
Connect your Windows Mobile phone with your windows (pc/desktop/laptop) computer thru ActiVeSync type of sync software.
then run/execute the 'exe' version installer, it will install necessary stuff in ur computer first, then rightaway it will start to transfer+install inside ur Phone.
In my experience, i wasnt able to make the cab version worked on Phone, but the exe version when installed in Phone sync connection then it worked, ur experience may vary.
If audio doesnt work properly then you will also need the "WM Audio Redirector.zip" or AudioRoute, a free soft, search here in xda-dev.
As below phones are similar to mine, it should work on all of them : HTC Touch Diamond, Touch Diamond2, Touch HD, Touch HD2, Touch 3G, Mogul/Titan 6800, Kaiser / TyTN II , P4550 & Samsung Omnia i900.
That will allow to use Audio & Text chat . No Video chat support on that version of skype , unless some1 makes a VideoRoute software for it, like AudioRoute.
