Hi,
I upgraded my HTC Bue Angel to WM6 and I'd like to know if it is the software or the hardware that limit some features on my PDA.
With the new ROM, can I install SD-HC cards ? Is it a hardware or software limitation ?
Same kind of question with bluetooth : Is it the sofware or the hardware that let me "publish" some BT fonctions ( PAN, AD2P, ect ...) ?
Thx

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
Hi guys !
I think something changed in the way windows reports vibration support.
I'm currently using PDAViet 4.0.0.5 but in noticed this problem in 2 other official WM6 ROMs ( a HTC Touch and an Eten ).
A program (inlux Messenger) which supported vibration in WM5 no longer lets me select this in WM6. On the other hand, Menneisyys has this program running on an Universal WM6 and vibration works (i saw it in his screenshots of the program)
I'm wondering if anyone knows how programs know if the device supports vibration (registry ?) and maybe how i can fix this in WM6.
Oh, i already checked \\HKLM\Snd\Support\VibSup and it's "1" so there must be something else...
Thanks,

Hi @ all!
I found that thread in a german forum http://www.ppc-welt.info/community/showthread.php?t=121091 .
The reported problem is that the Orbit is connecting much more often to the network an is sending (always) with the maximum power. Means ~900mhz <= 2 watts
and ~1800mhz <= 1watt.
They tested it with 4 different orbits and the following roms:
- Original O2 WM6
- Looks Like Touch
- Black & Blue (GER)
- Mossis Rom
they are all in german... sorry for all others
but maybe the problem is the same in the other versions??
Before someone (like in the german forum) wants to complain: They tested it with a HF-Technician and professional (think it was o2) equipment - so for my understanding it is reliable....
The problem does not exist in the original o2 WM6 ROM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So my question: Where are the other (original???) ROMs from?
And: what changes were made to the newer (guess they are all original/official HTC ) ROMs?
Has anybody recognized similiar problems? Like reduced stand-by time, due to the rised comunication between the orbit and the network?
Thanx
as far as I know the radio version should matter here...
maybe the german roms have buggy radio version.
at as far I can see with Touch 3.01 Vanilla there is no faster battery drain or "sound boxes problem" compared to my original O2 WM6 German ROM.
I tried the official wm6 rom available for the Artemis a while back. No difference in battery drain.
I have noticed an improvement in battery life since the release of the new radio
QUOTE: "... the radio version should matter here...
maybe the german roms have buggy radio version."
thats the reason why I tried to find out, where all those radio ROMs are from...
according to some cookes and users they are all original htc build - but i cannot confirm that.
maybe the problem is that those (original) HTC ROMs are made for different devices (like Touch) and don´t work properly with the Artemis???
digging it up again!
@all,
since the new o2 Orbit II is extremely high in its frequency S.A.R. value = 1,72W/kg, whereas the WHO advises a maximum of 2,0W/kg, I would be highly intrested to know if there are any new finding on this " ...is always sending on maximum power with cooked roms"-thing!!!!!
regards

hello,
When we update artemis with a cooked rom the radio rom is updated.
sometime the new radio rom isn't a rom for an artemis.
have you controled the RF power with a cooked OS rom and the original radio ROM ?

I have hermes with not working touchscreen (propably motherboard issue). Using WM Pro with fakecursor isn't the best option. Has anybody ported WM Standard (as wm pro porting for non-touch devices) to Hermes?
That is strange... cause i didnt know that ports a smartphone OS can be done.. why...?
Cause smartphone OS (non touch screen) has no resolutions and incompatible drivers and everything incompatible with our devices specifications so...
that idea has non sense.
hope you can fix your issue.

startrek a smartphone can port a wm professional to a non touchscreen version!
check the forum
but having a touchscreen device to be flash with non touchscreen os & just for him to use on his faulty touchscreen??? only him need it for such rom
Of course it could be but if you dont know how to cook a rom you never understand the meaning of "DRIVERS"
I don't know where's problem with my hermes touchscreen, digitizer seems to be ok, flex also, mobo i gave to my friend with hotair, also nothing.
I know there's startrek with wm6 pro, about year ago i had this device, with wm pro ofc ;-)
About rom cooking, i've cooked rom for my old device, htc himalaya, but porting other version of wm is too difficult for me...
If any rom cooker can help me, i can test his cookings, i have herm300.
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.
