Why??? Those great hp iPAQ devices are manufactured by HTC too but why i didn't see it in this great site too? Why? I guess there's are still more HTC devices too but we can't find it in here, as I know total 421 devices manufactured by HTC. This is the great WM site & I hope all of devices manufactured by HTC we can found it in here to discuss, in this forum.
Please reply my post & thanks before!

maybe there is not enough people to support a threat with such device

It is cause they haven't added it that time and I don't believe they'll add it after 5 years. Maybe it was just a mistake 5 years ago that it isn't there.

The device on XDA devs that isn't a HTC device was a mistake, and couldn't be corrected when it was discovered.
For the rest the official statement (as this has been discussed a lot, witness all the "why no (insert device here) forum" threads):
XDA-developers is an HTC only board, there will be no other devices added.

But what he wanted to tell us is that the h6365 has a HTC Codename. That means it is disigned and assembled by HTC. That means it should have had a forum.
But I'm not sure that the infos are right cause the ROMs doesn't look like HTC ROMs in any way.

This all abandon discontinue devices has been forgotten by the makers or the users! What a shame that XDA-Dev not admitted all this devices as manufactured by HTC including mine, hp iPAQ h6365!!! Then where's i must discuss this such thing devices? My hope are only in this great forum!

Would be weird if the ROM was totaly different.
Till now all HTC ROMs have the same footprint.
I doubt if these devices where designed by HTC, maybe someone has another source to verify whether these devices where actually by HTC?
Or where they only assembled by HTC (could explain the difference in ROM layout)?

Bro, all of this devices are manufactured and hardware designed by HTC, including mine hp iPAQ h6365. Please check it in HERE for more details!!!
Now what will you say? Not just talk, can you prove it if this device are not manufactured & hardware designed by HTC? You will doubt it cause you're not having one of those devices as I mention before!

There is support for the 6365 in the Sable forum. See this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=497826
It is up to the site admins to decide which devices have forums and which do not. Usually, it's only devices which generate enough interest are given a forum. If all these devices had forums, would there be any posts?
This site is not a HTC device support centre, there is no obligation to give forums to all these devices.
The 6365 is a smartphone, so discussion would normally be in Smartphone
general, or Unlocking and Modifying. If interest was high enough that 6365 threads were cluttering the forum, then (IMHO) it would warrant a new forum.
Thanks

Well. I don't know what is up. I checked the ROMs to port Wm2003SE to the 6365 and found out that they aren't like normal HTC ROMs.
The 6365 uses NBF as ROM format but it has an extra NBF for XIP, Radio and so on. That isn't normal for HTC ROMs. And the ROMs seem to be differnt. I can't get them running in an emulator and I can't extract them. The XIP is looking different too. The OEMXIPKernel has only 2 files. All other files aren't in other XIP parts too. So it seems like the ROMs aren't HTC ROMs.
But the hardware seems to be HTC cause I've seen a picture somewhere with the mainboard on it. On the mainboard was written Assembled by HTC in Taiwan.
So I think also if the devices would have had enought threads they would not have got any forum cause the ROMs don't seem to be made by HTC.

Besides, those devices are too old and too many. Very few use them anymore.

I'm sure there's still a lots oldiest HTC devices that still doesn't have their own section to share with a same users ...

HP iPAQ 6900 ROM

Well, I think its the XDA forum should also include roms and mods and hacks , software for ipaq wm5 pda phones. Please start a dedicated forums for iPAQ PDA phones, please
I second this I think you guys are mostly HTC oriented but I would love forums for the ipaq, and symbian OS devices.
i support that i have an ipaq 6945 and would like to upgrade it....
Help unlock my ipaq 6945
Please guys i am find a way to unlock my ipaq 6945.
Tks
There is a section of this forum dedicated to HP hw69xx
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=329
However the upgrade process isnt fully hacked.
It'd be nice if there were a section dedicated to the iPAQ 6800 series, or just a general iPAQ section discussing unlocking, upgrading or whatever. (I am aware that the iPAQ 6800 is related to the Atom, it just seems that if you even MENTION the 6800 in that forum, no one wants to hear about it... )

I clearly understand those people. During the last week legally trying to change the language of my hw6915 the words "HP support" became sort of a swearing lexicon to me. The specs for my device is also weird - so many devices and gadgets but so primitive screen
The only thing I can suggest to you me101 is to stick around the Atom forums and gain knowledge about the internals of that device.

non-htc phones in the forum

Now that o2 are producing lots of new non-htc XDA phones, are you going to open up new forum areas to talk about these phones, or is this going to remain an htc only site?
The reason I ask is that a lot of info applies whatever the device manufacturer and the more devices the site coversthe more people that will contribute.
Great point. I support this fully
The XDA stealth is certainly an XDA, yet it is not on XDA developers... Also there has not been much contribution to the atom probably because it was made by quanta
Guys the way I see it this is a HTC forum, there are a lot of phones around but if we stay on one brand then we can provide top info, tools for that brand. You Might allready have seen that there are a few things that cross devices (The BA's country code flashhing error can be over ridden by the Magicans flashing tool)
If we cover all phones then we water down our strong points.
As for the atom, it was a mistake and by the time it was noticed we allready had threads going on.
(Needless to say it might change in the future)

Are the Dash and the Blackjack the Same?

Hi,
To my understanding is the dash and the blackjack share the same hardware. If I were to CID unlock my blackjack would the WM6 rom update work?
I assume the hardware is the same but I cant find any post of users that have blackjacks here except ones that ask for support or hacks and cant find any here..
can someone clear this up... i know is sounds dumb but if you had a blackjack its like a western town with tumble weeds passing by for information or hacks...
NO. It won't work.
damn blackjack user are left in the dark?
can someone give details about what the hardware difference is?
and how come XDA doesn't not have a black jack section if the hardware/roms are not interchangeable
Probably because this is an xda forum, meaning HTC products, although that doesn't explain why they have a treo section.
try howard forums.

hmm... so it is. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=280545
how interesting.
So the answer is;
They don't have a Blackjack forum because it's not an HTC product.
But it is an XDA forum not a HTC forum. The XDA's are not necessarily HTC phones.
The reason for the xda-dev is due to the fact that HTC used to OEM phone for the telco company without a proper technical support (e.g. the telco know nuts about the OEM phone) or possible upgrades. As such, HTC phone users join forces and created this forum to help each other to solve daily problems with the phones. As such, it is meant to be within HTC products.
All the phone listed here are made by HTC only. And yes, the Treo is using the HTC OEM's hardware. The only "hiccup" on this forum is the Atom, which is not made by HTC (not awared of this when it is being added).
So just to clear something up, if the XDA Zinc had made it to the streets, would that be on here ?

Can you make a mini-forum for Dell Axim users?

I know the XDA-Developers mission statement is "This site is about certain PDA-phones, made by a secretive firm called HTC in Taiwan.", but our non-phone Dell Axim x50's and x51's were also manufactured by HTC (I believe it was codenamed the HTC Colorado). Due to the new wm6 ROMs being built for our units by developers here, and the lack of support by DELL and other sites, many of us are coming here. It would be great to have a place to discuss the cool apps being created by the "XDA developers" that work, or dont work, on non-phone HTC devices and share tips and tweaks to get them working best on our devices.
I would suggest a category under "Other HTC manufactured phones" called "HTC manufactured PDA's" or "HTC manufactured non-phones", then we could list the different devices under their code names (Colorado = Dell Axim x50 series, Galaxy = Qtek/Imate , etc) or group them all together as a start to see how much traffic they get. (That is if you can find it in your heart to include us non-phone HTC device users )
I will second that.
me too.
Those threads only apply to particular HTC-built models, and are of no interest for those who doesnt own an HTC Axim.
Pls lets make a sub forum for Axims and move there those threads. both Axim owners and non owners would benefit.
Updated: check for updates

Due to the fact the Dell Axim is not an HTC device, there will be no forum or mini-forum for this PDA. Thank you.

Actually, like I said in the first post, the Dell Axim v50 and x51 series was manufactured by HTC, and sold by Dell. It may not be an HTC phone, but it is an HTC device.
Look at this old review of the x50v when it came out.
The key part is:
While HP went to a blockier industrial form factor, Dell worked with HTC to come up with a slim, light unit with rounded features similar to the HP iPAQ 4150. ...The X50 is rock solid, and I couldn't get the PDAs to twist or creak. I haven't seen a device this solidly built in quite some time--except for my new MDA III, which I am also reviewing and that was also built by HTC.

Also this Blog entry "Axing el Axim Or Why Dell’s PocketPC had to go "
Lets begin our journey with a visit to the Axim’s source - HTC. The Dell Axim essentially is a design by HTC(which, according to some industry insiders was rejected by HP); Dell just stamps its brand logo onto it and manages the distribution. So, HTC produces and Dell makes the big margins… . This combination stands behind many PocketPC smartphones(with a carrier instead of Dell) for sale in Austria and has worked well so far…

You would be correct in saying it is not an XDA, but it is an HTC. Because the Dell Axim is mostly compatable with the stuff being discussed here (sans the phone stuff), you are probably getting increased traffic from us Dell users. But if it is too 'off topic' to create a common area for us, I guess we will be forced to hang out in the General forum. I can live with that (this is still a great site for advanced users).
Ok, my bad. Although I have to admit that HTC was a vital part of the axim manufacturing I have to say I'm not quite convinced that such forum should be created.
I'll pass this matter to the moderator forum though. Take a deep breath and hold on.
Ok. We have reached the verdict. There simply won't be any dell specific forum on xda-developers. Thanks for your attention.
I just think that there should be a forum for the axim because this site has become and is mostly about HTC manufactured devices and not all of the devices were offered to the public with the HTC branding, we had to purchase them with other companies that applied their logos and software. This site, i admit that it was created for pda-phones but this site has also grown and we should realize that most of the people here all use HTC devices. I do understand why not to add a thread for the Axim but we should add at least a "PPC-only" or "Other HTC Manufactured Devices" thread so that the general forums would be freed up for pda-phone topics.
I my self just bought a Axim but have a better trust in this site then others because this site was the only one that did not flame me when i was a noob (now it does flame noobs but thats because noobs don't read these days) and helped me in giving me information.
I say add a thread for the HTC Axim but if not add one for general pda's but that were manufactured by HTC, because in the future we will have a large community of Axim users and the posts will be mixed with other topics. Lets keep it organized before we get over whelm with trying to organize the forums.
Thanks, Adolfo N.
PS: I know about your verdict about not adding the thread but just wanted to say this and maybe change your mind. Thanks Again.
LOL Oh well, maybe theres an abandoned section (where no recent posts have been made) here we can use and talk there.
Everyone involved with X5#v would just have to mark in their sigs as to where we are now. :/
It might not be an Axim sub forum but atleast we'd have some order to the vast thread piles that are soon to come.
LOL reason being we can't even hold these talks at "Axim"site , sad really...

I wont question "the verdict" as this is their site to moderate as they please. It was worth a shot. (At least they are allowing the Axim threads and not banning them altogether). I still can track my own list of interesting threads by subscribing to them. It just makes it difficult for quickly seeing new threads among the others in the general forum. I suggest posters of Dell specific threads should all place 'DELL AXIM' and the model number in the beginning of the thread topic so they can be found with a simple search.
The sad thing is that HTC makes great PDAs as well as Phones. Its not just that Dell abandoned the Axim line, but the industry (and the forums) are abandoning the PDA-only format altogether. (Even Aximsite has moved more toward the all inclusive MobilitySite by merging them). My request was not just for a DELL specific forum, but for an HTC PDA-only specific area where the Dell Axim would be just a part.
But as vlodeck said, "There simply won't be any Dell specific forum on xda-developers." End of story.

May be the "court of appeal" gives a second thought about it.
Forum thus becaming tidier for the benefit of both owners and non owners of PDA non phone edition.
having more names gives it more exposure so maybe its agood thing
Not about the money, but you are in a room full of wood chucks and politicians dell may have never kicked in to one these countries or its personal cause things change quick and thats for sure in hear. But until you can get a post a day maybe just use the main board i mean i ask for **** and its right place. XDA is what this is and u got to respect that but i guarantee its personal opinion which to me is good for not selling but bad cause sometimes things when you use emotion rather than logic!
I would appreciate that you might get what u need here stay long enough you'll get to an all dell place for sure just don't say anything it very sensitive here. I didn't realize what continent i was on.

just on winmodevelopers.co.cc
+ Que PPC
couldnt have sed it better myself
and i appreciate the fact the site is looked at all
thanks for the clarfication and input guys
added new hp ipaq 6xx and 6xx c phone forums
what about general brand forums? like
hp
- xxx
- xxxc
asus
- P735
- P750
- M530
and so on? for each point another subforum with general, roms/upgrading, accessories.
i'm intrested because i'm looking for a good asus p750 forum but all i found was a non vistited, poorly informed clone of an russian board where no word english is spoken
maybe if you can get some good developers over to your board non-htc device will become more customized with roms etc.
there are a few reasons for the brand specific forums
firstly the IPB forum software used will not allow a category within category then forum setup
so i cant have
HP IPAQ
> Ipaq 600
>ipaq 600 general
ipaq accessories
secondly as this forum is to cater non htc devices but in the same manner and xda the boards are to be kept as close as possible, ALTHOUGH there is no endorsment or sponsorship involved this site is independant
the asus devices mention will be considered if they arent made by htc as this swerves away from creating friction with xda
Thanks mike!
So sorry for my other words i dont mind to make a partnership, just i think it once,
