Hi,
I've learnt a lot from all the great posts on the site & have upgraded my wizard several times - Thanks to everyone who put so much work into the roms - I'm currently on Core 2.0
An error message that told me my connections were wrong when using Activesync and online sync led me to this connection wizard:
http://www.europe.htc.com/support/software/htcp3600.html
Its the last link on this page & now I have a quick and easy way to set all my phones settings with no typing !
I know its not shown as being for the Wizard but it does work, I havent tried any of the other links on this page!
Hope this is of use

Thanks this is a great help!
Good morning all,
I'm a very new member, and I'm looking to upgrade my device to WM6.1.
Details of my device:
O2 Xda Exec, Monthly Contract O2 SIM, WM5.0, OS 5.1.1.1700 (Build 14354.0.1.1), Processor PXA270-520MHz, Memory 49.96MB.
I'm a writer and use Word, Notes (including recordings), Active Sync (Vista Laptop with Windows Mobile Device Centre, email (hotmail and ntl), phone, texting, camera--I think that's all.
My biggest problems with 5.0 are that I can't edit Word 2007 documents (.docx) and can't use SDHC cards. So really, I want a basic (vanilla?) version that behaves pretty well like the proprietory product. I'm not really too interested in lots of additional apps.
Bearing in mind that I'm very much a user, I'd be very grateful if somebody could advise me as to a ROM that's:
a) stable;
b) easy to install;
c) has all the features of 6.1; and finally
d) not too many whizz-bangs.
I appreciate that a lot of time, effort and expense goes into producing the ROMs--so I'm prepared to make a comensurate donation.
Cheers,
Plantaen.
I think Tomal 8.2 will do for you. Its the most stable and fast ROM I have come accross. Another new version from TOmal is in Beta 2 stage. May be you can upgrade to that as well once the final version released.
Read Wiki
Would first advise you to go through Wiki and understand what you are trying to do and find whether your Universal (O2 XDA Exec) is fully unlocked etc.,
Read as much as you can in Wiki as it helps to prevent future messup as anything going wrong could end up your Uni just a costly paper weight.
Tomal's ROMs are great and once you are sure that your phone is fullly unlocked in all respects, you can try any flavour starting from 7.7 through 8.5
Hope this helps.
Regards
I would recommend Tomal's Vanilla version: http://vidmes.com/xda/Uni/ROMs/Tomal...960_VANILA.exe. Give that a try and see how you like it.

if you look for serious word editing, I would suggest you to use the softmaker http://www.softmaker.com/english/
Regarding a ROM.. I would suggest Tomal V 7.6 or 7.7. my personal favoured is V7.7.
Anyhow before doing something on the rom read carefully and bring you up to speed. I heart upgrade on Vista cn be tricky so you need to find info and make sure you have at least bootlaoder > v1
Maybe U don't need to upgrade your ROM
Hi, Plantaen.
I think maybe U don't need too upgrade Ur ROM, U can try these :
1. file : PsiDocSDHC.cab, so U can read Ur SDHC Card In Ur Uni in ROM WM 5, like I do. U can search this file in this ROM.
2. I think U can save as Ur document in doc format, rather than docx format.
Hope this helps.
Cheers.

After running the exe and upgrading, my XDA fails to respond
Hi, i used the "http://vidmes.com/xda/Uni/ROMs/Tomal/TML_v82_WM61_19960_VANILA.exe" to upgrade my XDA Executive and after the upgrade was over it asked me to soft reset my device, i did that and the screen displays Press '0' to restore factory settings or 'X' to cancel. the device is non responsive after that, pressing '0' or 'x' just exits and the device doesn't reboot. How can i now use my device? Please help.

you're lucky, I 've seen that ROM in http://www.mediafire.com/?ix0z22bttv9
A while back I found a link to a mediafire archive with something like 50 CAB's in it, for Windows Mobile 6.x. Does anyone know where that archive is?
It used to be bookmarked on my computer, but I accidently deleted it, so it's now gone.
I imagine that some of those CAB's are probably somewhere else on the interwebs as well, but I have been searching all day to no avail.
Also, FreewarePocketPC still has lot's of stuff available for WM devices, but a lot of it is intermixed with crap for Android(most of the Android **** that's clogging the site is just virus anyways), and Windows Phone 7, and some of the links are dead.
P.S. I have an archive of CAB's as well, I will be sharing soon, most of the CAB's I have are still available elsewhere on the interwebs, but with WM6.x getting older by the day, and so many things linkrotting as we type, it won't be long before the ever-diminishing set of workable programs reaches zero, and our beloved WinCE/WM6.x based devices are dead forever. So the more mirrored archives there are, the better.
NOTE: IF anyone wants an app, PM me, do not clog the forums with requests. NO, I do not have warez and paid software, I do not have any way to make your paid software work without paying, DO NOT ask for warez, if you do, your PM will be copied to this thread for everyone to see and laugh at.
RESERVED
1.) Opera Mini 5 - In download box below. Web browser for WM2003 all the way up to WM6.5.5, still works and because of Opera compression, it renders nicely even over 2G and modern websites are rendered nicely.
2.) UC Browser 7.04 - In download box below. Another web browser for WM5 up to WM6.5.5, still works, built by a Chinese company, not sure if it uses compression, like other browsers for WM, rendering quality is hit or miss depending on the site.
3.) Opera Mobile 10 BETA - In download box below. A newer version of Opera, for WM5 and above, still works, like with Mini 5, it uses Opera compression servers so it browses fast over 2G and modern websites are still nice. AFAIK it supports Flash.
4.) SkyFire - In download box below. Another nice browser. I am not sure if it still works, it uses SkyFire compression servers, supports flash. SkyFire as of 2013 was still available for Android, so it's possible the compression servers are still active. If the servers are not active, then since this AFAIK does not render locally, it's just here for historical completeness.
5.) ZetaKey 2010 - In download box below. This is a browser that is AFAIK still developed for WM6 and up. It supports HTML5 and AFAIK Flash, based on WebKit, so even without compression servers(which this does not use), it should render modern websites okay.
6.) Iris Browser 1.1.9 - In download box below. This browser still works. Uses WebKit, although it is not developed anymore, it does score a 100/100 on Acid3, has a pop-up blocker and supports NPAPI plugins just like Firefox.
7.) ZetaKey 2017 - In download box below. See ZetaKey 2010 entry. This is the newest version of that browser.
8.) TCPMP Finger Friendly. A great media player for WM devices. IMO it's even better than what comes on most Androids even in 2019.
Original link is still up: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=634951
Or you can download it from the box below.
1.) Flexilis Mobile Security - Link in download box below. This is a once-popular anti-virus program for WM6.x devices. It is AFAIK the precursor to what we now know as Lookout on Android devices. I am not sure if it has new virus definitions, but then again, is there anyone actually creating *new* viruses for WM6.x anyways?
2.) ESET Mobile Antivirus - Link in download box below. This is another popular anti-virus program for WM5 through 6.5.5, although the WM version is no longer developed nor is it still supported, ESET is still around and still makes some of the best anti-virus software for Linux, Windows, MacOS and Android.
3.) FingerKeyboard - Probably one of, if not the best alternative keyboards for WM6/6.5. It is way better than the stock keyboard(although the HTC keyboard is decent).
Download it from the box below, or the original link is still active here. https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=487677
4.) Esmertec Jbed - This allows Java midlets to run on Windows Mobile devices.
Get it from the box below or go here(https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=407667) because the original link is still active...
5.) Adobe Reader - View PDF files on Windows Mobile. Get it from the download box below.
Dude, don't you think you've been late with this thread for about 10 years?
I know maybe 3 or 4 old-fags here at xda (including me) who still have functional WM6.5 - WEH6.5.3 phones. And we are mostly "chiefs" - we cook our own roms and have all the necessary soft in our roms already.

I am just putting this out here mainly as a way a of preserving these programs for anyone who might care aboit them. Also, so if there might be anyone out there who still happens to have a device that can use these. So, sure, the thread is 10 years out of date, but thats exactly the point.
I'll take that bet...
Well I for one would love to see archives of old WM6.x CABs. I bought the HD2 In the first week it was out, and loved tweeking and fiddling with it until I had to factory reset it and remember where I stored the latest viable backup.
I must have crashes that thing a dozen times or more!
Well I never did get myself together enough to build a kitchen and learn to cook up some ROMs, but I had fun with all of the crazy and cool programs and apps. Cookie monster had an awesome UI Tweeker as I recall.
So yeah, I found the ol' Leo and charged it up! It's working!
I would love some links to CAB archives!
I recently bought some Windows Mobile devices just to play with, so I would also love an archive.
Finally somebody doing this. Thanks.
A bit late, but preservation is always good.
I tried finding games for WinMo, but every single link i came across was dead. (If somebody comments about piracy... WinMo has been discontinuted for, like, what? 10 years?)
If anyone still has any app installed on their WinMo phones, please make a backup and upload it.
I was a Symbian user when WinMo was still used, so i kinda missed on pretty much everything.
And you know what's the weird thing?
You can still find SYS files for Symbian all around the internet, but WinMo apps simply vanished.
So, yeah, if any of y'all have any app, just post it here.

I have a bunch on my HD2, I just dont know how to upload to here. Or anywhere else for that matter. I will look into a file share site. Any help would be appreciated.
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ still operates with most links still working. In most cases it offers a primary link & a mirror link to download the Apps. On the rare occasion both links fail a web search on the App or developer name will usually yield a result. Only very rarely can I not find a WM6.5 CAB, registry hack, etc., that I want. I've been amazed how much is still out there. I've used the HD2 as my sole Phone/PDA for almost 10 years & by trial & error I've got it to be very stable (a screen freeze is now a rare & notable event). I recently added the new 400GB microSD which is so fast I can put most Apps onto SD that formally required Device Memory installation only. I can't speak too highly of this little device. And the screen is much more scratch resistant than my wife's Lumia 950! Cheers

When you tap the reply button and it opens up that new page where you write your text and stuff, scroll down until you see "Manage Attachments", tap on that and a new page will open, from which you could upload your files. :good:

Rolled a 1 on search and found this. It had some good links. Not all function anymore.
Sites that still have some form of .cab files:
Freewarepocketpc.net
mpbus.net
mobile24.co
A good extractor for cabs and thier extension files would be nice.

Chill, it's no problem.
You could upload them to your Google Drive and turn on link sharing for the zip you made from the cabs. (And tap on "Everybody with a link: can view", not "Everybody with a link: can edit")
Then copy the link and post it here.
Also, thanks for those links. Really useful.
Having better achieve of cool apps and games still good for even the htc hd2 would be great for WinMobile 6.5
I attempted to reply with an outline of a project I am starting, and included the links to my dropbox file of HTC HD2 software, however it was auto flagged and i cant find the technical contact form as my browser is not allowing me to scroll through all the options in drop down menus and other pages.
sorry guys! I shall return when I can and try again.
Making a online archive with every possible cab categorized in smart way is one of my dreams since when I started discovering the world of technology and modding through this wonderful OS called Windows Mobile
The websites listed in this page allows you to search on old filesharing websites.
You can still find a lot of apps on
---Emule (servers +KAD especially)
---"windows mobile" and "pocketpc" sections on softonic.com (if I'm not wrong a con is that for each cab you want to download Softonic downloads a windows installer that then downloads the cab)
---install the webarchive extension on your browser and visit every old bookmark you saved in the past with the hope that the webpage was saved on the archive)
If I had the time I'll buy some webspace and I'll archive every WinMo app! XD (I would need less GBs than a single today's laptop hdd)

Actually, just dug out an old HTC Diamond2 that was once used by a relative, I was looking for software and this has actually been pretty helpful, I'm trying to figure out what these old PDA-ish devices still can do, I know that the few that can run Linux are actually pretty well supported to this day, but this one looks pretty much obscure so far, not a miracle, but I did want to play around with it
