the only thing i want from my pda - is the correct reading of *.doc files! :!: I've tried TextMaker, but it's heavy, slow and unstable. :x It sometimes uses incorrect codings and corrupts russian fonts. :evil:
So it would be great to see Word Mobile 0.5 on PPC 2003
Or maybe someone knows some program, exept TextMaker, something light and fast, without extra functions, but able to read and save text with formating in Billy's *.doc files.
well if you have a himalaya device you could try to put wm2005 on it and see if the newer word is better
It is not possible to run applications compiled for WM5 on WM2003SE.
... but I have Alpine/ Imate PDA2, so it's a dead end! If I could upgrade to 5.0, maybe I wouldn't find this site ever!
how many WM6.1 Roms there is ?
Is there only 2 Version for Treo 750 right now the "Normal" and "Light" ?
oh and isn't WM6.1 ment to have carousel interface ?
((and wasn't it ment to have a feature to manege all the data (eg. Contacts, E-mail) from web service, so like if u lost ur fone u cen wipe it remoutly (that was a rumer online b4 WM6.0 ware out)))
I think those features are for the standard smart phone edition not the Pocket PC.
WM 6 and WM6.1 both have the remote wipe feature, but this can only be performed if your device is conncected to an Exchange 2007 (or later) server.
The new interface has only been shown on standard devices and thats where most of the focus has been because it is difficult to navigate around some WM standard devices, but you will see it come to WM Pro devices
If I am honest, i cant look through this many different 6.5 Versions now available.
Can anybody with experience in this regard please tel me which 6.5 Version left most ram after start? ...and maybe which is currently the overall best rom available.
I dont need optical gimmicks, just poor performance and working touchflo in the applications like internet explorer.
Is there any performance gain between 6.1 and 6.5 (touchflo better maybe?, multiple today screens?) ?
Many thanks
well, I´ve been playing for several months with Cracing ´s rom. Installed spb shell 3, voice command and vito sms and theres nearly no more ram left to any reasonable big program....although 6.5 is smooth, we need more ram!
what about other roms??
(the biggest drawback of 6.5 is the lack of tweaking the memory slider between program/storage, That, would have solved my memory issue)
regards!

Thanks for reply.
Storage is flash and programm memory is ram, different type of memory - so that will be imposible forever though.
Whats about the touchflo, are there any differences between 6.1 and 6.5?
ups! but i saw that slider in wm5! (maybe I dreamt it!).
I thought all internal flash memory was shared between program and storage.
Sorry for the stupid question; What is the touch flo???
I just installed new rom and everything worked fine!
I use spb shell as my finger o.s. With voice command and vito sms left me all together with 5mb free.
Now that i kill nearly all "3rd parties" progz, i have 13.5mb free.
No doubt
WM 6.5 Professional Clean by Ham3r, 30.4 MB. Follow the link from my signature.

Maybe you are thinking of PocketPC before Windows Mobile.
I had an HP Jornada 548 running PocketPC (WinCE 3.0) for many years, and it had the slider you speak of. But all of that internal storage was RAM. The division was between RAMdisk and program RAM. Whenever the Jornada ran out of battery it would need a cold reset. All wm5, wm6, etc instead use flash for storage memory, and RAM for program memory, so no slider is possible.
I agree with the post before this, that the Ham3r wm6.5 ROM, although marked pre-pre-pre-alpha, leaves the most free memory, and nobody has reported any fatal flaws with that ROM. If free memory is your top priority, use that ROM.
Hello:
I'm completely new to WM, never once had a WM phone before. I've only had sidekicks, because of their ease of use and general ability to multi task and have things running in the background. Anyway, got a bit tired of not being able to do anything to the phone and picked up the TP2...
I'm on WM 6.1, however supposedly WM 6.5 came out? I've tried checking Microsoft for an official update, but all I can find are custom ROMs? Does WM not allow updating? Also, on the TP2, I went to Settings -> System -> Windows Update and it keeps giving me an error:
"Connection to the update server is not available. Check your data connection settings and ensure the device date and time are correct."
Data works, (Same error with wifi or 3g) and date and time are correct...? Can't update that way.
Would I have to use "homebrewed" versions of WM 6.5? (I'm only familiar with modding PSPs, sorry if that isn't the correct terminology)
ms don't sell wm to users they sell it to manufacturers only
and the roms are 100% customized for the devices
if the manufacturer don't release an official rom for your device you will never receive an official rom
Hi
I have just received an xdaII mini and have been browsing these forums looking at the different roms available. I am just wondering, besides obviously being a newer release, what benefits the updated rom - say Cotulla's wwe03 - brings to the magician (in its default 2003se setup). Is it more stable, better features apps?
Cheers
2 words. Persistent Storage. This is the main reason (but not the only reason and there's a lot) why you should abandon WM2003SE and upgrade to Cotulla's ROM. This means that if ever you drain your battery, you would not lose all the data (e.g. contacts, appointments.. etc.) in your Magician.
make your xda mini beautiful
You can enjoy great applications and launchers when you upgraded your ROM. Many applications are running only if your ROM is wm5, wm6, wm6.1 or wm6.5.
Try to use spb mobile shell and see the difference in your xda mini.
Thanks for replies. What about memory issues. The XDAII mini only has 64 mb of ROM and 64 of RAM. Is this enough to run wm6? Do users get out of memory errors and is it stable...will I need to reset the phone regularly?
Well I held my breath and flashed wwe 3.03 to the o2 and it seems very quick and stable. As mentioned, my biggest concern was with memory management. Is anyone using external bluetooth gps devices with this?
Cheers
WM6.1 runs great even if the Magician has only 64MB memory. Basic rule is never to install too much applications in the internal memory which will slow down the unit. If possible try to install them in memory card. The good news is since you installed 3.03 then you now have SDHC capability.
As for your second question it would be better if you read the thread for the version you installed. If you can't find the answer then don't hesitate to ask you questions since there are a lot of members who will be happy to help you.
Have fun with your "new" magician!
