Hi
I have a Imate JasJar and Imate PocketPC. This is a excellect site for information on HTC phones, what is the possibility of extending this site with other phones like the ETen, O2 Flame etc...
It will be very useful to compare features etc... also can be used to lobby for improved features on HTC phones.
Any view on this out there?
Thanks
Norman
I think we've discussed this before, and frankly can't remember what the answer is. We seem to be slipping a few non HTCs in here and there, but although much of what we do is generic to the Windows Mobile Platform, a lot of it is specific to HTC devices, eg rom structure, hardware hacking etc.
I think that there are other great sites out there for those devices, so the only reason to open up xda devs would be if what we do here is of such a benefit to the wider community that it outweighs stepping on those guys' toes. (Eg there are great Mio websites that a number of us frequent in addition to here)
I don't mind either way, but know that my experience is mainly HTC/Windows Mobile.

thanks V, any chance of listing some of these sites, I would be intrested have a look at them. Many thanks.

The JasJar - by I-Mate - actually is an HTC phone. When buying from HTC it is called the 3G UMTS. To check this out, go to http://www.htc.com/product/03-products-11.htm#1 and see your phone in all its glory, by another name. And as our old buddy "Billy Shakes" used to say, "A rose by any other name . . . "
:-D
After a deep thinking and consideration I thought I need to benchmark the market -or in this case the Forum. I have been having Jasjar (Universal) for quite sometime now and was not so sure whether I keep it or not.
Every span of couple of months new device is launched with this feature or that benefit. Many that have proved functionality and other proved to be a total disgrace to the ppc industry
And since I am a member in this forum for almost over a year now, I wanted to ask all -at least who will visit this thread- how many of those are using Universal and those who are using other devices ranked in this Forum? If any would -thankfully- be coming up with serious statistics of the wide use of Universal vs. other devices and brands this would definitely indicate the global domination of such device and the versatility not to mention that with the latest ROMs this device became more and more dearer to me as much it is to others -I reckon so!
I am sure this would help all those programmers to focus more on developing roms and apps compatible with Universal than others. I would ask anyone who reads this post to contribute in voting and comments would surely be appreciated.

Why not start a poll?
Universal
Hi Cyber-mate
To let you know; I do love my Universal and I'm using it 24 hours a day!
So I think I'm the first who answers your question
'Yeah... Lets start a poll'.
Cheers, Leo
Hi Cyber-mate
Have to say, I have persevered with the Universal, and that since the genius rom builders on here have cooked up some of their magic I am at last a happy Uni owner. I bought mine in Sep/Oct of 2005 and I can honestly say now I find mine usefull. I'm not a heavy user, but it is my main squeez (so to speak).

The reason there are so many devices, is because the market can support them as different people like different things.
There is no such thing as the best device, or the perfect device, it's what you think suits your needs the closest.
Currently, the Universal is the highest specification device, but soon the Athena will be out, but this is much larger, and not designed as a mobile pda phone, and also the Omni, which is the replacement for the Universal.
Really though, if you like your Universal, then great, if you don't, then listening to other people's views on what is good or bad will only confuse you.
We like the Universal, but there are many more that hate it.
I love my unversal too, and I think I keep it until I can get an Apple iPhone.
Or maybe I never change it to another device, because it has all thing in one, except GPS. But I can live without it, still we have BT GPS on the market.
Confused!!!...
Not sure what you want!!!...
Benchmark PDA? Yes I like my Universal!!!...
Benchmark Forum? Yes this is a good forum!!!... Of course, somethings are not allowed here but can be found somewhere!!!...
Benchmark self cooked ROM? This is definitely the best before WM6 starts to be banned!!!... If this banned forever, well one good thing less!!!...

You see CWKJ, there are 100s of opinions from 100s of poeple. However, being a person among a large comunity that consider Universal as a gr8 device that has got the all-in-one! I mean, just check any of those posts with a ROM related topic, you'd see more than 100k entries and with no doubt this indicate that it is widely used and YET proven to be a
top-of-the-list device.
I am sure many more would agree with me and to tell you the truth, Apple IPhone is a pansy one.
We are talking FUNCTIONALITY here and not looks and colors! A device that can connect wirelessly, bluetooth, camera, keyboard and many others proves to be a true Pocket PC.
And hey, one more thing, when we talk about a Pocket PC, we aint talking mobile phone, I mean apple to apple
Hi,
about the Universal, I have to say it's a wonderful device which can be very useful and helpful. Thanks to its VGA display you can browse Internet really well not like those other devices with smaller resolutions.
The "laptop alike" makes it again very useful to write anything, even long texts.
I think about it more like a little laptop replacement (...ok the OS is not really a good OS replacement but I guess this would change with Linux...). It's another way of PPC, since I got my Hermes (about two weeks ago) I see how it's different, I use the Hermes with just one finger (almost everything) while I don't use the keyboard too much....on the other hand with my Uni I almost did everything with the keyboard.
So now with these two devices I have to say I use the Hermes as an "stable" PPC and the universal to try every new ROM is created, I'm trying to learn how to cook them, etc so now I think I'm enjoying the Uni even more!
Hi to all you programmers, would it be possible for you to build a rom for the Artemis that will make it look and feel like an Iphone, i think it would be of benefit for the Artemis as it would use the touch screen system more, i have tried many diff, roms and would like to try an Iphone rom for my phone i would go out and by the Iphone but dont have that sought of money. any way i hope someone will let me know if it is possible to build an iphone for the artemis.
Sounds like combining a car and a motorbike and this is not a trike forum. Of course it's possible but you probably won't find any good chef right now that wants to do that. I suppose the best would be to cook it yourself.
apple are an even more closed software company then ms are
and the hardware is not the same
best you can hope for are the iphone skins i'd say
disgusting request, honestly. if you wanted an iphone, then sell your artemis and get the iphone. you don't list where you are, but if you're in the states, a used artemis isn't worth much less than a new unlocked iphone
You could try this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=349861 I haven't myself, sounds like folks say it's a bit slow on some devices but it looks promising for future versions. Not seen an Iphone in the flesh, but I have seen wm6 which without cooking has the most disappointing power to usability ratio, Iphone at least woke us all up a bit.
Problem too, is that "IPhone" is a registred trademark of Apple, the creator of Iphone like for our PDA, in Thailand, was requested to stop anything about "IPhone" creation. Naturally that was too late and there went source code many time downloaded fron his website. At this time there are many free application that look like "IPhone" and one that you can buy on the net is iLaunch.
Just wanted to put this out there, I know theres been a lot of interest in porting android, so thought maybe this, as an idea, had been side stepped.
Having seen a few demo's of the New(ish) Meizu M8, it does have a very slick interface, and as far as i'm aware it is based on windows mobile.
How difficult would it be to port the Meizu rom to the diamond?? Surely it would be a lot easier than some of the other large projects that are running.
Its not that i'm desperate to have an iphone interface on my phone, but it is one of the slicker winmo implementations i've seen.
Just an idea, worth discussion if nothing else...
Good question...... I would like to see the same thing for the Sprint TP!

Iphone on diamond!!!!!!!
just in case anyone know how to port meizu xip... here is the new firmware (0.9.0.0)...
http://www.meizume.com/m8-firmware/7812-m8-firmware-0-9-0-0-a.html
rapidshare: http://rapidshare.com/files/187099084/xip_0.9.0.0.zip
Would love to see this on my Diamond!
well there will be issues: as Meizu M8 uses Win CE instead of WM6.1, which has lot more differences in the code. though i'm not a programmer but to me they seem like 2 diferent plateforms.
released and started shipping on wednesday:
http://en.meizu.com/news/MeizuM8OfficialReleaseDate827.html
The mMobile UI is rubbish..
Simply another iPhone clone on WinCE 6.0. I don't think it's worth to use.
so why do you care about this thread then?
screen shots??
e.g. http://mobilearsenal.com/new/new_meizu_m8_screenshots.html
how can be used? on a diamond??? this is a bin file ??
It cant be used.
chinmay007 is right, this is based on a completely different OS - not a chance of it working.

From memory the relationship between WinCE and WinMo is similar to that of DOS/Win3.1 in a really basic way -> WinMo runs over WinCE and provides the user-layer functionality/experience, hence it may still be possible to use this OS.
ive been watching those ppl for the almost a year awaiting the release... then i bought the diamond last month and the m8 is finally out it would be awesome if it was ported but superbly doubted
Hi guys !
I did not understand one thing: I can install this ROM on my Diamond? it is dangerous? Thanks
I suppose you could rip some of the packages and convert them from the 720x480 resolution to diamonds resolution 640*480.
The OS maybe could be converted, but still all resolutions had to be adapted.
Not impossible, but a lot of work.
ok . THX for the answer
Guys, i've a question :
I've downloaded the MEIZU M8 ROM , but in the .rar there is a .bin file ONLY . How can I extract IT ?!
I'm sorry , but i'm ignorant on this subject but I'm curious
This is supposed to be in the ROM/Recovery section, I plan to use this as a central thread for development on this device if it comes to that.
Anyone who owns an A80, must have by now have had a love hate relationship with it.
Even the S21 doesn't look that good and a look alike phone is often spotted in samsung's ads to this day which has the same edges so i guess they use it as a prop instead of editing out the punch hole. (See images, one is from the 1UI3 ad). It could have been a timeless device if the software implementation was paid more attention to.
Currently these are the problems with this device on OneUI2.0
- HDR video playback doesn't work from youtube but does with the camera (was present on S9)
- Severly Nerfed Camera
- Slowdown/Battery drain/High ram usage
- Aggressive PWM on the display (opposed to DC mode on OnePlus)
- No Android 10 Nav bar despite it being on Android 10.
- No wireless charging (more on that later)
- Poorly made kernal I read?
Which doesn't make sense because even the older Gen phones got these resolved and the alternative A series phones as well.
I am currently very frustrated and would love to join the devs/owners of this device and put our contributions in a LineageOS build for this however I have never done more than basic builds for a device.
Having an All screen no notch display made me realise it's all about software.
Here is a very clean S10 Rom and I wish we can get there with this thing too
Lastly about the wireless charging, Im an engineering undergrad familiar with the WPC Standard and if you have seen strange part's video on adding wireless charging to the iPhone 7, this is certainly a glass back phone with a modular charging port assembly that exact thing can be done on this device as well, I have ordered the parts found in the S10 and some after market tags that I'll try and see which work while keeping the battery cool, I'll share my findings if it's successful.
I definitely agree with you but you know, unfortunately Galaxy A80 isn't sold too much such as A70, A71 and other A series without A80 are popular -because they are more cheap than A80-, so I think developers don't want to make, develop or port any ROM for uncommon and under-sold devices like A80 because making and porting any ROM is super harder you know. And developers want to receive a recompense for their hard work. We are so unlucky for buying A80. No one wants to make or port for uncommon device.
By the way, English isn't my primary language, so if I did make mistakes in my paragraph, sorry.
