Is there a way to downgrade my prophet from WM% to WM2003SE cos i think SE is a far better OS. I've been looking for ROMs and things but cant find any. Can anyone help me please.
By the way, I'm a bit new to all this but have a solid grasp of PCs and know a bit about PDAs.
Thanks
Why would you want that?
i just dont like WM5. There are lots of little things missing that were in 2003 if i can do it, then i might as well. Can you help?
Hi, I think the S200 shares quite the same hardware with the S100, which runs under 2k3SE, maybe you should look at its roms...

s100 and s200 do not use the same cpu (s100 intel Bulverde cpu s200 TI OMAP)... they do not use the same gsm band (s200 is quad band and s100 tri-band)

If that was the case Wm5 would have been available on the S100 (cooked). The S100 and S200 have different processors which is the main reasonw why you just have to forget about putting S100 ROM on an S200.
Just to clarify, my prophet is an SPV m600 on orange. does this help?
It only helps by telling you that you can't put WM2003SE on your device... HTC, Dopod, Qtek, Imate, Orange, O2... All the same hardware just the branding changes... Unless your an expirienced programmer and you have a team to support you can't see how you could cook a wm2003SE rom to support all the SPV hardware... Hope this is clear enough... If you want a wm2003SE device buy one second hand...
i have had wm6 will running on the Magician it runs ok all the problem is the sound doesent work phone call ects work with no problems and the camera and voice command shortcut dont work but i am sure some 1 could make a modified rom to sort this small problems out
well this is very interesting indeed. Forgive my cynicism, but could you please post some pictures mate?.
You may have given the magician owners some hope. I just hope its not a wind up.
i HOPE YOU ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT `CHARMER'
Is This A joke ?
I am sure this is a joke..magician didnt even see the daylight of wm5 left behind wm6.....the best joke of the day!!!!
Oh no... the story is about to start all over again... once with WM5, now with WM6... the only breakthru we had was Big Storage by some russian guy... but he was never seen again. I wonder whether he'd have the knowledge to put any new OS on the Magician... if yes, I reckon I'd sell my <whisper>TyTN</whisper>...
its not a joke it will pop a picture on soon as pos should be later i used wm6 download of a download site that is named fotos.rar i will have use the girlfreinds phone cam to take the pics
its for the Magician witch is called the mda compact ll by t-mobile the pics will be low res until i get work in morning and use works cam also i get some video of it working
as i said before it does work ok but the speaker for ringtones doesent work so some one will have to mod the rom as i am not any good at that i can also post a backup of the rom wm6 on Magician if that is allowed if i can figger out how back it up

mda compact 2 is charmer not magician.confirm the processsor tomap 200mhz or intel 273 416 mhz
Yeah it is ported wizard rom to charmer

No.
T-Mobile MDA Compact II is *Charmer*
i-Mate JAM is *Magician*
silly people posting incorrect info
(says in silly voice) i bet vista would have a better chance of working on Magician.
is our jam that bad nothing works on it?
No i think it is a good phone, but ... you will stick to WM2003
im happy with the Jam, My wife has the prophet which uses WM05. WM05 is lacking some stuff i use all the time in WM03 like the memory balance
Jam (Magician) is not that bad.. as a matter of fact, some prefer Jam for their speed over the WM5 devices. And some prefer the WM2003 stuff, like an interesting example, the Word in WM2003 enables you to hand-write and type in the same document, while Word in WM5 doesnt allow you to do that. If you can hold down your though of.. the grass on the other side looks greener.. Jam is just another good device.
i get ya, i guess u guys are right
Hi, I'm thinking of buying a Vox to replace my trouble & strifes crappy N73.
I've been using PPC's for a few years so know them quite well but I don't know how simular the smartphone version is to tweak & if it will run any of the common softwares for the ppc.
I need to have a Thai keyboard & font installed as well as the Standard which in this case will be English. I can do this easily on a PPC but what about a smartphone ?
Can we create custom shortcuts/icons and what PPC softwares will run on the smartphone if any ?
Finally how stable is this device & is the speed a pain due to that weazy Omap 850 ? Any alternative choices would also be great.
Thanks.
Vox is a great little device.
Stable, full of options and now a step before seeing its cooked roms (let's hope).
On the other hand... I don't know your wife and please don't take it badly but, does she really need one?
I mean, except for the fact to handle Thai and English at the same time and popular software... I guess many other Smartphones would do the job.
I say that because a MS Smartphone is always trying to be more "Smart" than "Phone", while a N73 or any other NSeries (for example) will always be more "Phone" than "Smart" even tough they could have the same capabilities.
I'm pretty happy with my Vox. It's pretty slow compared to my previous Excalibur with WM6 but still... It's a good phone. Maybe an update will fix the slowness, nothing explains why an Excalibur with same CPU is faster so a solution must be there.
Would I recommend it to somebody just looking for a Smartphone... Well... If this person is really looking for a phone with keyboard, then yes, otherwise... A N80 from Ebay is ways cheaper and would do the job. Loads of software, easy to handle... Etc...
Why do I say this? Well, guess who bought a Wizard to his wife and sees the only thing she enjoys is the keyboard to send mails and SMS... My fault, it's not a toy for her...
Ka.
VOX is easy to use ... i know it!
i have gave some VOX to some assistence in my work and they can handle it! better then the PPC versions. for women are usefull programs on the wild ... womenizer LOL

She can get by with a nokia or SE but this would seem to be a perfect balance between phone & PDA for her.
The main thing is second langauge input for these things.
She has been using my old HTC Prophet which I installed with Thai font & a SIP Thai keyboard. How do I install asian langauges to a smartphone ? anyone here done this ?
I have installed a cab I got from a Thread on Modaco which provides several T9 languages. Unfortunately Thai is not included. I bet it must exist, in case I find one I'll tell you right away.
Ka.
I spotted that t9 languages cab, I suppose in time people will add more languages.
Dopod do a dual Language for English/Chinese but nothing for Thai yet !
I'll keep looking.
Thanks for your help.
Mr B.
I found an article where somebody describes how to build your own Thai files.
It's for another phone (Still MS but other OS version) I'll see if something can be made out of it.

Interesting stuff, what I like the most is that it says "Most likely" WM7 can be used on older devices because all the changes like screen rotation with device will use the cam instead of hardware like accelerometers and stuff... wonder how long till my wizard is sporting WM7...
they gonna turn ppc's into sm/iphone/touch ****?
WM7 can be used on older devices

...taking 40 of 47 mb mem free.....
does any1 have WM 6.1 WWE yet?
WM7 on an 2-year old wizard?
Realistically, the chances of WM7 running on a standard Wizard are somewhere between slim and none. I can offer two strong reasons: memory and speed. As someone noted earlier there are only 49 MB of program memory. Right now mine has only 19 free. If Microsoft follows its normal OS expansion rate, 49 MB won't be nearly enough.
As for speed - we,, we all know how fast the Wizards's chip is and - even with overclocking - it's slow. And in a year it will seem slower still.
So.. unless someone is going to begin to sell an aftermarket Wizard chipset on a higher capacity and faster piece of silicon - which I find unlikely and uneconomical -WM7 just isn't in the cards for old Wizards.
Having said that, I would love to be wrong.
You never really know though. I think there is a good chance that the wonderful cooks here will work a miracle and get wm7 on our Wizards. Look at the MPx200, for example: It's had every version of windows mobile/smartphone ever since SP2002 when it came out.
Well too bad couldn't have said the same for my MPX300 it was stuck with WM2003se............ but WM6 seem a bit cool tho.............
You have the MPX300?? Interested in selling?
it's not 100% tho ............ water got on the screen so i can't get past the screen alignment when i reset the phone

True, pity mine sucks as it has a habit of spontaneously discharging the battery so I can't turn it on, thus I switched to the Wizard and now my iPhone.
EDIT: Looking at that Windows Mobile 7 article, I'm severely tempted back to Windows Mobile if that takes off!
I don't think wizard can handle wm7 (full OS) but i'm sure rom chef's will find tha way to adapt some programs that will be used with it... maybe some hacking will allow software to be run in an acceptable level... not the OS but the feeling of it...
I heard that wm7 will be released on 2009. Is it true? I hope they will release it in this year.
b4 WM7 is out, does any1 have WM 6.1 WWE yet?
now i'm built sucselt wm6.1 wwe! it's changer *.mui RUS lang to WWE!
testing!!!!
up soon
i bet they release this year cause of the iphone even though its overated people are buying it instead of windows mobile phones. Looks like it will be out next september i reckon as from the pictures it looks pretty much finished interface wise. The HTC touch should get an update to WM7 as the touchflo isnt that great tbh.

waiting also
I can't wait ... it will be great... and btw. i think Wizard will be one of the devices on which microsoft will be testing... it's only my opinion, but it is old and it is popular.. same as MPx200 was (i had it before) and guess what? Microsoft tested WM5 on MPx200? Why? Because it was old and popular
But no flame war pleeeeeze

Me too. when ms had wizard on microsoft surface trailers, they should test wm7 on it
b4 WM7 is out, does any1 have real WM 6.1 WWE yet?
what do you say about this one?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5568ZTrD5A
i think thats s200 and not s100
nop. it's s110 to be more exactly.
it koool, we need this
It is only a program to block the screen. I proved it and I uninstall, because it consumes much battery when resident remaining.
Only a program not OS.
the programs is: Vito Technology Winterface 1.0

That pocket it's a charmer...
maciasp, on the video is the htc home screen installed, the one that we can find in wm 6.1. that link that you provided is only an application, but, is like the iphone one, i have that allready. if you see the video, he is watching at the weather, the htc touchflo cube 3D, things that i don't think that are on winterface.
I've comunicated via msn with the owner of that phone, and it is not a magician, but a charmer.
So dont keep your hopes on running wm6 on the magician
qtek s100 and qtek s110 are using same platform, only some small differences are between them. so, i'm still waiting an idea about that rom or what is it. i tried to contact him on msn or yahoo messenger, but without any luck.
P.S. just a clarification: qtek s100 is the same as spv m500, magician, o2 xda II mini, etc.
what actually makes you feel that its a s110
thats clearly an s200! (probably with a grey casing)
s100 and s110 can not run wm6.
only a charmer can and that is s200 not s110 or s100
i had qtek s100, 110 and s200, and trust me, i know them very well. first of all, the keys aren't the same, second, the led from the operator signal isn't the same, and i'm telling you all of this from my experience. i'm attaching printscreens with qtek s110 and s200 exactly with the differences.
S100:
S200:
that's why i'm asking you all, how is working on s110 wm6, or which software does he use?
and..if you look more carrefuly at the video, at the end, he is rotating the device, and it is looking exactly like qtek s110, and not s200, and the comm manager button doesn't seem to be anywhere on the left side of the device (the one from the video):
s200 comes in 2 different looks. the one which you have shown here having different styled keys and the other one which looks exactly like s110 with no difference in looks.
mda compact II is charmer.....not s100,s110
oficial wm5 and processor 200mhz
Everybody chill off... Thx
He's an hungarian guy , like me.I contacted him on MSN(soz his adress is there but only hungarians can read it )
The first thing you must know,that he made this video,soz he wanted to sell it.And he selled...he dont own it anymore
2nd ITS A CHARMER.sorry... me 2 have magician and want rom upgrade but atm theres no way...
GL&HF
thx for your answer. but why did he wrote in the title that's it qtek s100?
I dont know! Anyways , im checking every day this forum if someone comes here and says that "OMGOMG I HAVE MAGICIAN WM5/6 ROM" lol... I know that it'll never happen, but the hope dies at last
