Hello everyone!
I've got a Cyberbank POZ EVDO (CP X315 BR), which is a pocket PC phone with the following specs:
Processors => PDA: XScale/PXA255(Cotulla) 400Mhz; CDMA: MSM5500
Memory => OS : 32MB + Data: 128MB (160MB); DRAM: 64 MB
Screen => Transflective TFT LCD (65k cores), 3,0", 240 × 320 px
Camera => VGA, 1,2 MegaPixel
Toques 64 Polifônicos, suporta MP3
Data Beams/Comm => CDMA 1x EVDO, IRDA ( 115.2Kbps, up to 50cm), USB 1.1, Mini-SD Card Slot (up to 1GB supported)
Networks => IS95 (Digital), CDMA 1xRTT (1x), CDMA 1xEVDO (3G)
OS: Windows Mobile 2003 SE
Slide-out numeric keypad.
(go to http://www.luxicom.com.br/cpx315br/specs.shtml for the specs page of the device - in portuguese )
Well, I got the PPC from my operator, Brasilian VIVO, about 2 years ago, and now they gave me a HTC S621/Excalibur, because I'm a good corporate costumer and they're "expanding" their network to GSM (actually changing from CDMA into it)...
Anyways, since I changed my phone line to the Excalibur and have no use for this PPC's phone abilities, I´m willing to keep it as a second PPC without phone and I want to upgrade it's ROM probably a cooked one with a newer win mobile version.
So, I tried upgrading with the ROMs made for some of the PPC phones with similar specs found here on XDA Developers, but had no success up to now.
Now, not having found anything addressing this subject, I ask you guys if anyone had any similar experience with success (flashing a PPC phone with a ROM made to another one with similar SPECS).
I repeat: I don't care if I lose the radio of my PPC, because I do not intend do use it anymore and it tends to turn it on by it self once in while, what kills its battery very fast when happens.
Thanks for your help in advance.
Cheers!

Hi everyone,
I have just recently switched from Qtek 9100(identical to I-mate K-JAM, 02 mini S and MDA Vario) to Qtek 8310 (identical to I-mate SP5 and O2 Orion). None of the programs I used to work with can install on my new phone. I have heard that maybe you have to emulate touchscreen in order for them to work.
Can somebody help with thi problem?
Thank you
Smartphone OS lacks lots of functions/features that are present on a PocketPC. Not only the touchscreen is missing, search microsoft.com for the complete list of differences. Generally it is impossible to force any complex PocketPC app to work on smartphone. But the reverse process is not difficult - most of smartphone apps can be patched to run on a PocketPC.
recall something about wm2005 being able to run smartphone applications
not sure if wm2005 for smartP's can also do pda applications
there is also the issue of smartphones being much less powerfull then pda's to think about
Maybe there is an option, or.... ?
Thanks guys, as for the hardware specs of the phone they are the same as my previous PDA - CPU is TI OMAP 200Mhz, 64ROM, 128 RAM, I have also inserted 1GB mini SD card and the OS is Windows Mobile 5.0.
If anyone can help with this I am still hoping to find a solution
OK, lets start this thread by posting your latest experiences with this ROM update
1) No .NET CF v2.0 - Have to install yourself
2) Camera tested with 4GB SD card without problem (from another forum)
3) Another battery icon (vertical) will be displayed on the top bar when the battery level is less than 15% besides the standard horizontal battery icon
4) Improved battery life
No Line2 functionality
RE
There is AVRCP, however, I think only WMP takes advantage of it. Even then hardware is not 100% compatible with AVCRP and WMP although it (hardware) supports AVRCP.
Other software players look like not responding to it for the moment.

This is good, but would be more helpful, if you could say in comparison with what ever other ROM may have the feature that is missing - or the limitation. That will make it easier to gauge if the upgrade will worth it, or will leave other short comings that it may not be possible to live with.
I'm running the 1.30.76 WWE iMate ROM (mainly because I used the iMate ROM on my HTC Wizard) but I'm not sure if I would be better off with the QTEK one)
The iMate does have some sort of operator customisation for a lot of other operators inc TMO UK who I use - is this present on the QTEK? - I still have to setup WAP & MMS manually
What apps are installed by default with QTEK - in comparison with iMate (I believe SKYPE is missing on QTEK?)
The .NET CF 2 being missing is mentioned above - what ROM does have it installed by default?
Is the skin for the phone application the same on these 2 ROMs (I much prefer the rounded buttons in the iMate ROM to the horrid square things on TMO ROM)
Thanks - as ever this is a great resource.

Hi cliffai,
I have not tested any other manufacturers' ROMs as I'm having the QTEK 9000 set
My comparison is more with the QTEK 9000 shipping ROM

NO - Both QTEK's shipped ROM and this latest version do not have operator customisation. No problem with manual settings for me.
NO - Skype is not installed by default for both versions. I don't use skype. I believe skype's importance cannot be overlooked once wireless broadband becomes common.
NO - .NET CF v2.0 is not installed in both versions too. AFAIK its not installed by default in any PPC. However, a growing list of programs using .NET CF v2.0 is something that cannot be neglected, here:-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=42463
QTek is better, I think.
Both two I have tried. Qtek I prefer. Qtek is more simple and elegant.
the qtek rom is the way to go if you do not want customization as it gives u loads of free space, even if u dun soft reset within the first 3 seconds of a hard reset.
Guys, is it even possible to upgrade a pocket pc 2003 SE PDA to a vanilla Wm6 ROM image ?
I have acquired a Casio pocket PC with fairly upto date hardware, but it comes with Pocket PC 2003 SE, the hardware is pasted in below.
I guess what i really want to know is can a generic WM6 build be flashed on this casio?

There is and can not be such thing as "vanilla" or generic build for Windows Mobile of any version to date.
(Any ROM with 'universal' attached to it is a ROM for JasJar / Qtek 9000 device which is called universal).
The reason for that is the structure of the OS which is tightly bound with drivers and hardware specific configuration and the varying structure of bootloaders that expect differently encrypted / formatted OS image.
Your device does have the hardware to support WM 6, but usually it is only possible to 'cook' a ROM for device that has a leaked upgrade or has a very similar device with official or leaked upgrade at least to WM 5.
So I am afraid you are out of luck.
P.S.
I removed your duplicate thread from 'General'. Please do not double post.

Hello everyone!
I have here a quite old (well, perhaps not so "old") PDA, an Acer n50, and I'd like to improve it.
I have seen recently that great people have been able to port Android onto Windows Mobile designed PDAs and smartphones. I even have seen a youtube video guy able to start (just start) Linux on a n50 back in 2007.
So finally my question is : do you think it is possible to install/run a reasonably recent version of Android on this Acer n50? If not or if difficult, can it be possible to install/run a more recent version of Windows Mobile on it? (but honestly, I have a much greater estime towards Android ). I would also like to have some help to achieve this. I have already searched the net for this and Android's developer pages, but I have not found this kind of information or I simply got lost.
I am not a hacker. In fact, I don"t have any experience in this at all. I just know how to fiddle in the console to launch some stuff and have the least of the basics.
Here are the Acer n50's specifications :
Constructor : Acer
Screen : Backlit Color
Touch screen : Yes
Resolution : TFT LCD Screen, 65 536 colors, 240 x 300 pixels
Microprocessor / Frequency : Intel PXA272 at 312 MHz
Operating System : Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition
Memory : 128 Mo de RAM, 64 Mo de ROM
Wireless connection : IrDA, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi 802.11b
Audio/vidéo functionnalities : Audio system with integrated speaker and microphone, headset plug
Integrated basic applications : Microsoft Pocket Outlook, Pocket Word, Pocket Excel, MSN Messenger, Windows Media Player 9, Internet Explorer, Calculator, File Explorer, Microsoft ActiveSync 3.7.1, Pictures, Games
Extension port : Accepts SD cards, MMC, CompactFlash
Power : Lithium-ion polymer rechargeable battery
Dimensions (l x p x h) in mm : 120 x 70 x 17,4 mm
Weight in grams : 150 g
Thank you by advance for your help and far by advance.... your patience.
64mb ram is too little for windows mobile 6.5 but someone just did the impossible so you might ask them to cook one for you providing they have the hardware.

Acer n50 never got WM5 upgrade, so there is NO chance for any upgrade from WM2003SE.
To cook a WM6.5 ROM for a device at least WM5 ROM is required as they share almost the same kernel.
There are several posts on the net in french and english about this WM5 upgrade from Acer for n50. But the download link to it seems blocked now by login restrictions or dead links.
Up to now, the up-to-date repository for Acer n50 is this : ftp.support.acer-euro.com/handheld/n50/ there is no rom in there so right now there is no upgrade in fact.
So, as the upgrade for n50 was just vapor or has disappeared mysteriously, is there a way I could install WM5 (through a rom or whatever way that can be possible) over WM2003SE? I have read some people would try this without being sure if it is possible.
By the way, do you think it can also be possible to have the system in french in 5 or 6.5 in someway?
Thank you for your help.
I think that Acer n50 WM5 ROM never existed or maybe Acer made it, but never released it.
As there is no WM5 ROM for n50, there's nothing you can do.
ROMs are device specific, so that means you can't use any other device ROM.
System in french would only be possible if there would be a WM5 ROM.
All right so all possibilities are getting restrained then.
So, two last questions :
Could there be a way for me to install Windows Mobile 5 on this Acer (I guess not otherwise you would already have told me)? It looks weird that people are able to cook WM6.x and not WM5...
Can it be possible to install a version of Android on this PDA?
Too bad it cannot be possible to try to improve this device like it could be for some little bit old computers...

People are able to cook WM6.x because they have a WM5 to use as base. That means if device does not have a WM5, there is no chance for a cooked WM6.x ROM.
You must find a WM5 ROM for n50, that's your only chance.

Basically it's possible, but someone must make it. But I don't think that it will ever happen.
All right then, thank you for your answers.
