With all the fuss around the Typhoon WM2005 leaks I wonder why I still haven't got WM2005 on my magician? are there no roms for this device? or does nobody give a &*@ or what is it! I really like to try it
Magneto
There could be something cooking up, because I tried Magneto on my Old but trusty Himalaya and it works but lots of bugs so I would not want that bugs to be on my Magician hopefully it's coming.
I guess the great BUZZ would have done a Magneto version for the JAM if he had one...
so if anyone generous enough to offer him a free magician... I bet we will see WM 5.0 very soon... :wink:
cheers
Well count me in I'dd love to donate some money!!
I guess now the WM2005 rom leaked for the Typhoon, the rom for the Magician is only a matter of time
Angels before magicians haha
Is is possible for maybe one of the developers to give us windows treo owner(700 and 755), a rom update(genetic rom would be fine) to the either aku 3.3, 3.5, or even WM6(if possible), which ever one is easier to access and install on the device it does not matter. This would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Whilst a slightly optimistic request, I'd certainly second it!
On a related note does anyone have any news at all regarding Crossbow / WM6 and the Treo 750?
Somehow I find myself running Crossbow on an XDA-Mini-S and the speed improvement [compared with WM5] across the board is phenomenal. The 195MHz XDA is about as responsive as the 300MHz Treo 750. Being a Mac / Linux man I'm not one to big-up Microsoft, but they appear to have done good this time.
I wonder where they bought-in WM6 from? ;-)
Steve
Ah it's statements like this which make me want to buy a Wizard just to play with Crossbow! [must resist the urge!!!] I noticed there are fewer topics here at the Treo threads maybe more dev't will come when [if] palm releases the 750 to everyone [i.e. no Voda or Cingular branding]
well lets hope so? Or maybe we can link this thread more?
hell even if we can just get some of the new features of AKU 3.5 would be nice. Like grammar checker and such

Well, it looks to be official, HTC is rolling out WM6 upgrades for some of their devices (as we all may have heard). Here are the current devices that are initially planned:
HTC Advantage
HTC TyTN
HTC S620
HTC P4350
HTC P3300
http://www.solopalmari.com/images/stories/007/04/WM6_statement_.pdf
But, there is somewhat of a silver lining. If you read the .pdf in the link, it may not be limited to just those phones. There will be no upgrade fees for the carriers, so it's up to the carriers discretion to release the upgrade for whatever devices they deem "worthy". I would think the best way to go about getting it released for the Wizard would be to contact your carriers and request it. If they get enough requests, I can guarantee they'll make that upgrade available.
Despite having some great releases from some great chefs, it would make cooking that much better with an official OS release.
At any rate, CALL YOUR CARRIERS!!

I hoped to get a more special answer. When you take a datasheet of both - it is the same. Just the camera and teh thicknes. So what is really different. And if people can crossover a hermes rom to wizard it must be possible to crossover a herald to wizard. becuse it is same function than wizard.
So what is the difference?

That's news to me. Who's been able to port WM6 from a Hermes over to the Wizard?

All WM6 for wizards are based on a hermes AM6 and mixed up with wizard stuff - mun does it for his base rom. MAny people now are developing this mun rom.

Well, sounds like I've been away from the Wizard forums for too long . I didn't know that mun's was pulled from a Hermes. Very interesting.

"New OS build contains not whole files from tytn's rom, but more of them.
As i said before: camera is oem application and couldn't work on wizard. And i rebuild some modules from tytn's rom by myself to force it to work.
Im going to finish my tests of that rom, but i can say now that it has very good perfomance. It works like a charm.
Btw, it is unique rom. All roms that contains os 5.2.968 and the same build or rom version, will have my rom as base rom. So I am the first man who made t"

And here!
O2 UK says no...
Here is the response I received from O2 Data Support when I referred them to the announcement from HTC:

Good Morning Terry
Thank you for your email
I am not aware at present of any Windows Mobile 6.0 upgrade options being made available for our XDA devices including the XDa Mini S in the very near future. Historically speaking O2 has only provided ROM upgrades on the existing OS and has never provided OS upgrades on any of the XDA devices. Please monitor the website link attached below for future upgrades.

If you require any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Kind regards

That's not true my friend... The Faria ROM is a REAL Wizard WM6 ROM, trust me! Was not ported!

Maybe. But all based on mun are not real WM6 - and perhaps i´m one of the "I don´t believe someone´s telling until i see"-people. But Faria mention a lot what he knows and what will come.
We will see.

Just stop it here - ok. Some people prefere that some that. OK? But I think there are so many discussion meanwhile about what is written and what not - that it is obviously that time goes on?!
hey
how about, everybody on here gets together and 'badgers' or (requests, to put it nicely! ) a specific operator for the rom update?
rather than 10 people each asking 10 diff operators, lets just get together and ask one, would be more likely, and either way, once we have one official update in our hands, thats all we need really!
how bout it then chaps?!(and chap-esses)

That seems like a good plan to me. What operator did you have in mind? We should probably pick one that has traditionally been more open to upgrades in the past. That would definitely rule out Cingular/ATT here in the US.
Also, papamopps, give Dr. P. some respect and credit on the issue of what OS is based on what device. If anyone would know, he would.

I don´t wanted to blame anyone - espacially no Dr. P - I know he is a guru.
I only have some little problems with Faria´s behavio the last time. And i´m not alone with this.
Btw they´re doing great WORK and we all need it. Thanks to any Rom-cooker.

No offense was taken by me. As for Faria, yes he can be a little *****y, most genius's are.. Please realize though that he DOES "butter our bread", along with others. And he DOES endure a lot of nonsense and crap. Myself, I wouldn't have come back after some of crap that he (and me in a VERY small way) have taken here.....
Now, back to the OP! I doubt that Cingular is going to be of any help, morons... I WILL say that I've seen more come from T-Mobile regarding official updates with the Wizard (nudge, nudge, wink, wink)
I would vote for T-Mobile too. O2 suck for updates.
there was an article out on the web and i can't seem to find it. it was either on engadget, giz, wmexperts, fuzemobility or wmpoweruser and it discussed the differences between the wm 6.5 roms. i believe it said all the roms that were in the 24xxx range were leading up to the 6.5.1 release, but the builds in the 23xxx range were leading up to 6.5.5/6. I really need to read this article again but i can't find it anywhere....anyone out there seen it?
Like this one? It talks about the different COM branches, and what they mean.
yeah man...thats not exactly it, but i think this is a sister site. thanx a lot
Found abit on Redmond Pie: http://www.redmondpie.com/details-on-windows-mobile-6.5-build-23409.5.4.0-y765/
Says the 21xxx builds will be the official 6.5.0 release...may be updated to 6.5.1 with the 23xxx builds.
