Hello,
I have a Dell Axim x50v recently purchased off ebay along with a Dell Executive Bluetooth Keyboard.
I am on WM2003SE but think I want to go to at least WM2005 for advanced options with my pocket genealogist program.
I also would like to view photos and listen to music on my axim.
Can someone tell me the best upgrade roms to go for, if at all?
photos and muisic work on all os's equally well. not sure about your genealogist program.
wm2003 A05 is pretty stable.

I'm trying to support a friend of mine, who has one of the first Axim X5 with WM2002, to upgrade it...
...as much as possible (ideally to 2003SE, or 2003 at least) :?:
Dell site was obviously useless
Any idea of where I should look?
Is there any forum like this one for Dell PDAs maybe? :shock:
Thanks in advance for any suggestion!
www.aximsite.com, will tell you everything
I know i talked about this earlier, and i`m well aware that there is not a single Wm6 Rom available for this kind of pdas. There is also almost no chances that manufactures would offer any WM6 upgrades to current pdas that do not have phone functionality, since the market is now moving cellar. So, could somebody, please make one? I personally own Dell Axim x50v running Wm5. (I know it requires huge amounts of work). But i don't see you guys having too much trouble making one for the Universal or Hermes. Is that really that much harder to develop roms for the classic pdas?
(i used my nintendo wii to type this.)
So, is there anyone out there who could answer my question???
Not going to happen. People don't hack WM6 to work on devices, they use leaked ROMs from manufacturers. Dell will not release WM6... ever.
I am willing to help cook a rom for the Axim X5, I have been wanting to cook one for a while, If anyone can give me a good starting point, I would appreciate it.

well I still have my trusty x5 with Pocket PC 2002.. still searching for upgrade path to WM6.. now relegated to a MP3 player after I got a Asus P535.
Be willing to be your beta tester if you managed to cook the upgrade
Have you guy read this:
Last week, Microsoft formally unveiled Windows Mobile 6.1, the latest version of its operating system for handhelds and smartphones.
Naturally, the owners of current devices are anxious to know if and when updates for their units will be released.
Unfortunately, there's bad news for users of HP's latest iPAQs. Responding to a question from Brighthand, Mike Hockey, Hewlett-Packard's Worldwide Public Relations Manager, said:
HP will not be offering an operating system upgrade for currently shipping HP iPAQ devices beyond what ships on the device today -- Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.
This decision comes after having evaluated the potential for delays in firmware and software updates, device recertification, and carry-over costs to our customers that are often associated with an operating system upgrade.
HP is committed to continuing its long-standing relationship with Microsoft and will deliver HP iPAQs with Windows Mobile 6.1 at a future date.

Just bought a HP 214, so I'd be very interested in the 6.1 upgrade.
It does not supprise me that HP have made this decision, they let us all down with the upgrade for the 4700 from 2003 to wm5, that in mind it will be better to have someone cook the rom than wait/trust HP to release a workable upgrade.
This just shows how committed HP is to their customers--they're not! I'm in the market for a new pocket pc and I was thinking about getting the HP 211, but I think I will just go with the dell axim X51v now.
Soo much for their so called "3 years Supports" ...
This is what i got.. 1 single version OS for the rest of your life.
multimedia on ipaq and dell.

i have brought myself a hp ipaq 214 as i`m after a multimedia player that isn`t a phone, it is just a standard 214 with whatever came on it, i also has a dell x51v with i also want to use as a multimedia device, but try as i might i can`t download vlc for either device and i can`t play any movie files just mp3`s, i`m new to swapping rom`s but i would like to run android on these devices and get a player that actually works, do you have any advice.
Hey all, I just joined on a referral from the Dell Axim forums. I just bought a Dell Axim x50v from an auction real cheap, and i'm looking to upgrade the OS on the device. It currently has Windows Mobile CE 2003 on it, and i would like to upgrade it to whatever is the newest that it can handle. I did do a search, but i found a lot of posts, so i thought it would be best to create a new one to effectively set my claim. Any help on this would be appreciated. Thanks
