WM6 iPaq hx4700 Rom

Any chance of seeing a hacked rom of Windows Mobile 6.0 running on an ipaq hx4700?

Kozhura, the genius behind the success of WM5 AKU 3.5 on HX4700 said that he will be workin on WM6 after finishing the russian build of WM5. so just hang in there.

I also hope to see this for US units too, that would be great. It's too bad HP discontinued the best PDA they have ever made....

Anyone have any info if anyone has started "hacking" WM6 into a HX4700 ?

Is WM6 upgrade worth it?
If so I am ready to pay a small donation for the same. I am sure there are other members ready to do so.
Good Luck.

I've got WM6 (chinese simplified localization) on my hx4700. Will post it on pxdxa.com soon.
Yes, there are some bugs, but at least It's a WM6 and it's working.
So ... I think you will get your ENG version ... Just wait

chamine,
mind you post some drooling screenshots

Show screens? Why not ...
Yes, XIP files was from Universal's wm6 (quite old though) and IMGFS from M$ emulator image (also not that latest).

I feel just about the same ! More info please !!!! Any direct links ?
Looking forward to this, some features of WM6, I really could use, never mind a fresh update for my $700 PDA....

WM6 is faster than WM5.

I'm using WM6[MagLite Edition,A01] on my AXIM x50v.
It's faster than WM5(wm2003se-like performance). and WM6 supports SDHC(over 8GB SD cards).
of course, it has some problems. for example, some applications doesn't work on WM6.

Well, it's confirmed...kozhura is working on WM6 for the HX4700 and in a week or 2 we should see a beta. Yes !!!! After what he (and his partners in this) did with WM5 on the system, I can't wait to see what he does with WM6 !!!!!

Sorry, it's already there, but unless you are a chinese rom-master (for whom, if any, I posted it) - I will not recommend to use my version, because I will not update it any further and after some time will delete it from that forum.
But kozhura+qwerty surely will release a more better english version soon, qwerty's mod of aku3.5 was really good so I think wm6 will be even better.

This file I've put here (not for long) for a chinese ROM-masters (if any) to continue work on this ROM because I don't have much desire (and time) to hack MS roms further.

been there a while ago and as expected was not able to read any feedbacks about it, thx chamine for the efforts its a pity that you're discontinuing your project, goodluck on your next endeavour. Ill just wait for kozhura's WM6 rom to finish.

windows mobile 6.1 release..

Wasn't windows mobile 6.1 supposed to be released n mid february? its the end of the month n i haven't heard any word about it.. can some 1 please update me?
thanks in advance
sorry if the answer to this question has been posted already

I have not heard anything about the release yet...

some folks in the smartphone forum are cooking a version of 6.1 to work with a vox. not sure if anyone is working on a version for us but sounds like they're making progress over there anyway.

umm... is it even out yet though

Pre-release beta test versions for the Moto Q8 were leaked, and that's what people used to cook WM6.1 ROMs for various HTC smartphones.
I made one for StarTrek a couple days ago. Just like the WM6.1 Professional for touchscreen devices, it is not an official release.

Kavana released a cooked Chinese WM 6.1 rom for excalibur:

The diference from new HTC ROM:
The WM 6.1 improvements - use google to read about it
Many many useful tools - its hell more easy to have almost everyting you need in ROM - cracked and working
The speed is good - I don't know is this faster then new HTC, but it's fast enough and definitely is not slower.
New super cool sliding theme with usefull staff.
And that is all I see for now.
The big fat minus is the fact this rom is for Chinese people. You have full translation for Windows, but some programs is on stable Chinese language - but you don't need to use everything. I speak about 2-3 tools. Everything else is in English.

Extracting TomTom 7 from O2 german ROM

Since O2 germany have confirmed to deliver the new htc diamond with the new tomtom7, is there anybody who can rip this out of the rom????
For more info go to link and read all posts;

no because that would be warez methinks...

No I wouldn't be. As long as you don't distribute maps with it or cracks for maps.
The program itselves can be distributed, like HTC distributes a TomTom 6 version for the HTC P3600 too (without map).

Htc has a license to distribute them, do you?
ofc it would be "warez", the application is patterned like the maps, and you cannot distribute them without permission from the owner
Still, there's no indication that tomtom v7 will come out for ppc, check the post date from modaco it's from 15may

Anyway so far there is no proof that TomTom 7 even exists so ripping is hypothetical. As for warez...well a lot of stuff here is extracted from ROMs and redistributed without official licenses, so...

"As for warez..."
Shhhhhh!

Yeah, mum's the word ;-)

your all so naughty

ROM dump of this O2 rom?
Hello Lord Buckingham. Would love a ROM dump of this O2 rom and then I will pull apart and share, Just ask if you would like any help with this process. Many Thanks

Thanks, keep 'em coming !
Is Mapshare there ? Is that an O2 Germany Diamond or O2 UK ?

Lord Buckingham, could you confirm if TT7 runs/doesn't run like a dog on the diamond? All the VGA PDAs I've seen run at about 1 second per frame when doing a TT6 route demo. My HTC prophet is smooth as silk (QVGA) with TT6.
Is the map display very jerky? I'm hoping that Tomtom have written the TT7 exclusively for the Diamond, with excellerated graphic driver code. There's a lot of talk of Tomtom being annoyed at all the warez... so that would be a neat solution to stop all of that: Just bind the TT7 exe to the Diamond Chipset in code!

Tomtom 7 is real!

No, it is real! Just see the following page:
::MOD EDIT. WAREZ LINK REMOVED::
So, I strongly hope someone will rip it soon and share it with us!

Diamond 2 Rom, Where to get?

Anyone can provide me with a link to the diamond 2 rom? Please and ty.

I think this one is based on a diamond 2 build, but I flashed it and it doesn't have the new calendar tab, new contacts mini touchflow gui and options, push internet, new alarm clocks, etc.
xboxmod is working on a port from touch hd I think that has everything! should be out in the next week or so he says!
Seems like everyone is working really hard and I really appreciate the dedication and support this site has! It's like a utopia of tech geeks! Best forum I am a part of hands down!!!

There is no Diamond2 ROM yet.
The features haven't been ported if you cared to read the forums.
There are Diamond ROMs with some Diamond2 OEM apps included.

dickenz is half correct half wrong...
there 'is' a D2 rom... udk released it... its the OS from Diamond2... there is no Diamond 2 manilla released (which is Tf3d / front end user interface)
xboxmod and team are still working on it

Great answer!

Great answer, but unfortunately not great enough. It looks certain that both HD & asus p32 will not be getting wm6.5 upgrade. Both aren't on list
