WM5 or WM 2003SE for 2215 ?? - General Topics

Is it possible..can someone gimme the link for upgrading my ooold 2215 to atleast 2003 se
thanks

The only se image released was a beta and ended up using 32mb of your RAM for the OS to run from giving you 32 remaining split between storage and progs.
HP never released it, it was a Microsoft preview for SE, and I believe was one of the only devices they bothered making a preview for.
All it really gives you is rotation on the fly, which I believe the new version of nytidot does anyway.

WINCE 6.0

Can any one explain the difference between CE6 and crossbow? and emebeded
I saw a Evaluation kit (platform builder) is freely available
www.microsoft.com/windowsembedded/eval/trial.mspx
Hi there....
ce6 is the fundament of crossbow (wm6) like ce5 in wm5 ....
embedded is winxp ... you can just make an winxp for devices they doesn't need much drivers.. like cashes ...
Also, CE5 (and CE6) are used for embedded OS for things like in-car navigation systems, where the end user never sees the OS, only the apps designed to run on it.
I am not sure if WM6 is built on CE6.. I think it still uses the 5th version kernel.
the windows mobile 6 being release as crossbow is actually built on WM 5.2 which is basically a shell for CE 5.
CE 6 will be released as Photon (prolly WM 7)

WM6 and VGA

I've been using Jwright's WM6 ROMs and they're terrific. I'd become accustomed to using true VGA in WM5, and while IE offers VGA, it's nothing compared to having the entire system run in 640x480 (96dpi) everywhere.
Has anyone enabled this? I did the registry change, but I don't have WM6 dll's put in for the 96 dpi (using the WM5 dlls would defeat the purpose of using WM6, right?).
If anyone is doing this, lets get some information going on it. If nobody is doing VGA, when do we think we can do this? Or how might I go about helping to make it a reality?
I used ozVGA with WM5 dlls, works fine.
The only purpose of 69-dpi dlls is icons, i suppose...
Is that a possibility? Can the WM5 dlls really be used as replacements here? Or is that like upgrading and then removing 1/2 of the new features?
Are there functional bits in these replaced dlls? Or are they truly icons only?
there is a package i made on the ftp that is allmost complete vga for wm6, it uses wm6 versions from qvga devices
Outstanding! Got a link or filename/path?
Here
Hope it works for you
Would be nice to skip the ozVGA necessity - I like to just have the dlls and set the registry myself... But at least now I've got it. Life is good.
Sweet
I tried these files and they are sweet, thanks
i just used d WM5 dll's & ozVGA. true VGA works as good as when i was on WM5.
nevertheless, i still downloaded Midget's cab file.
hi Midget. tnx 4 that. no need anymore 4 ozVGA w/ that cab file?
Nervous n00b Help?

My mobile T-mobile AMEO 5 inch screen is wasted without VGA which I had on my Dell Axim x51v. I had previously used www.nyditot.comvirtual Virtual Display with great success in Windows mobile 5 but they are not returning my e-mail about Windows mobile 6 support hence the reason of this question.
What are the benefits of using your cab is there a lower overhead etc than the full blown softwares like MvRTrueVGA or Virtual Display? Is there any risks running VGA apps on PDA’s OS’s?
Any thoughts appreciated

Real VGA by Tobias is better. You should try it. It comes with 96dpi and 128 dpi.

How much free RAM left for typical WM6 devices?

I am currently using a iPAQ 112 which is running WM6 Classic, ie without phone function.
However the free RAM is only 28Mb out of 64Mb after start up and average around 20Mb with no programe running.
Is it normal?
If I never remember wrongly, phones like Hermes running WM6 Pro have more free RAM which is around 40Mb, it's kind of weird right, as WM6 Pro have more processes running at background for phone functions.
Hope someone can give me some idea, thanks.
Running ttran's open touch v2.7 biggy I usually float around 23-25mb of ram. Wing specs read I *could* in a perfect world get up to 64 megs.
it's 64mb for everything like on windows things in the os which startup take some
today items
and stuff started in \windows\startup

Magician WM4 Incompatiblity Issues

As Magician cant run WM5 or WM6. Almost all new Applications cannot run on Magician as they are not compatible with WM4. So any solutions to run the Applications on Magician? A patch or something that emulates WM5 API on WM4 and allows WM5/6 Applications to be Installed/Used. ?
yea! this way it good.
look this one
this gx.dll can use wm5 games on wm3
Here ya go WinMo lovers, a screen shot of the purported next generation Windows Mobile OS codenamed Crossbow, courtesy of MS Mobile News. Sure, it could just be a WinMo 5.0 theme for all we know but if this is the full Pocket PC homescreen above, then we can expect a glossier look, continued softkey support, and a smattering of oh so Vista icons when this, and the SmartPhone version are released in the first half of 2007. As we already heard from Microsoft, Crossbow will feature a new version of Office Communicator and "strong links with Office 2007 and Exchange 12." If all this still leaves you aching for the hotness of Photon, well, suck it up son 'cause that's not scheduled to hit until the first half of 2008.
I have nothing to say with this issue but maybe just a few threads that you may want to count on.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=452501 for a list of magician today + other software.
http://www.pointui.com for a good screen
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=444414&page=8 for a good today replacement that gives you really Vanilla 2D and Diamond skins for your today (but in Chinese). I have translated a skin with iphone - just look into the forum with keyword iphone2.
Of course, if you are running magician you might want to consider the tx203 rom, which is the best rom for me - some reported buggy but I have been running it for 1 year on my o2 mini without any problem.

Which Windows Mobile 6.5 Version left highest amount of ram after start?

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

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.
