WIndows Update Enable for WM& Black Satin

I install the black satin normal release but there isn't the Windows Update in System menu? I can install it with a cab file? Thanks Tony

Whatcha need Windows Update for do you suppose? M$ has no plans to deliver enhancements via this tool.

With respect Sleuth, how do you know that is MS plan?

So whats the point of Windows Update tool then ?
It just doesn`t make sense.. They did it for fun ? Just to take storage space ?

MS update < XDA new ROM update!!
Why bother??

MS update was so manufactures didn't have to release new roms, just updates...
but as Penske MB says
MS update < XDA new ROM update!!

not at the moment no... but the functionality is there for future updates... but as most ROM cooks use tadzio's tools which removes the buffers around files in the IMGFS using Windows Update could in fact turn your device into a brick if updates were pushed out...

Pretty common sense.
Microsoft has made it abundantly clear on more then 1 front that they have zero interest in maintaining Windows Mobile and only release OS updates to keep people off the other platform devices.
MS doesn't care about updating phones and doesn't care about making activesync function correctly.
Mark my words... Windows updates on these devices will ALWAYS be useless.

if they didnt care then they wouldnt have developed the functionality in the first place and left the updating to the carriers... Windows Update was/is designed to update Core OS and M$ Products only...

Thanks for your personal opinion. I was after the hard facts though.

Good answer. I also wonder how certain people come to their "firm" opinions or even "knowledge" about what MS "plans" and his in mind.

My hard facts come from M$ at MEDC 2007. When asked whether they planned on delivering Mobile Office 2K7 via Windows update I was told that the windows update mechanism itself was "only for critical security related patches"...
We'll need windows update when the first virus hits I suppose...

why don't you PM him instead of going off topic?

Windows Update will be used very soon to distribute an updated version of IE to WM6 users. And for those of you that have your doubt... let's just say I know someone who's testing its functionality now.

But it will never happen.. How long has the Hermes been out for, and have you EVER seen ANY update?
Thats what I thought..
Theres more "updates" on this forum than u would ever need through this useless tool anyway

very true!!! wont see a windows update on the hermes or any device that has it.....
ive had the blackjack since day 1 and there was the BJ II and the Epix and still didnt see any updates whatsoever....so after 2 generations of the blackjack (i count the epix as one ahahah) i dont think they are ever going to release one for it.
So for the hermes im pretty sure its not going to happen.
Like they said XDA developers is your update tool (if you can call it that) because the winmo builds (beta) are constantly updated here through various rom releases.....

windows mobile 6.1

gives an error, file is corrupted

am i missing something here? every screenshot i've ever seen of 6.1 was smartphone.. and pdaviet's announced release still looks exactly like 6, except for what's displayed in the device info screen (unlike the smartphone 6.1 which is pretty different from wm6)

Same thing here
All the pictures of WM 6.1 are from Windows mobile standard edition (Smartphone).
ref: http://www.boygeniusreport.com/gallery/handsets/windows-mobile-61/
Only few future devices are rumoured to have 6.1 profesional (Touch screen). But no pictures for that any where.

ppc device with WM6.1
PPC rumored to have WM6.1 Professional
Samsung SGH-i900
T-Mobile MDA Ameo 16GB (HTC Athena)
Palm Drucker Windows Mobile 6.1 PDA Phone (Touchscreen)
If someone can get hold of it and get a dump would be nice for the xda-dev community.

WM6.1 VISTA THEME! Wooow O_o !!!

can anyone tell me if you already saw this one in action?

Thanks

There is already, just look two rows below your post

From what i've heard a RTM release is due in april, so hopefully around then.

.... when it's done ?
you should suscribe to some rss feed talking about winmo and mobile phone, (rss feeds in opera mini are fabulous) and wait the first official release of wm 6.5. Then read the forum again and again.

ok. sorry for the posts. 10x again.

the question should be : Who DOESN'T wants Gen Y. D2(X) with wm 6.5
With windows mobile 6.5 you will never get the same performance as 6.1 on diamond.
Limitations in h/w.

Oh! I really want to try D2X with WinMo 6.5.5 in my Diamond
and, we need something more, just a little thing, but it can help a lot.
just a little app that allow to quick enable/disable manila when you need more RAM, for example when you want to use Opera or TomTom or some game

Try MortScript ;-) For instance, I use simple combination to run iGO:
Kill ("manila.exe");
RunWait ("\Internal Storage\iGO8\iGO8.exe")
Run ("\Windows\manila.exe")
And I really want to see GenY with 6.5!
