Hello all!
Crossbow is near, so i think we can sum up WM5 on Himalaya.
I've updates WIKI page about WM5 on Himalaya, it's here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Himalaya_2005_Kitchen
Purpose of this page is to quickly find out what options are if you want to install WM5 on Himalaya.
Feel free to edit/add or correct this text.
If you feel I missed some important (stable,fast etc) ROMs please write here or update WIKI yourself
There is also Wiki page for WM6,
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Himalaya_2006
but there is nothing for now. I will try to put there information if any will be available
Thanks for the effort
do u think cross bow is really near?
wht about the ftp? is it ok now ? (files restored?)
I hope
about FTP, I restored OEM packages only, I don't have other files
I'm a bit confused, and i'm unsure to tell the difference. With all the roms floating out there in the forums, are they just WM 5.0 roms skinned? or actually a WM 6.0 rom?
Which ROM in particular are you referring to?? Faria's and mun's are both WM6 -- as are the MB rom and the Underground ROM. I know for sure all these are WM6 because I've flashed them all to my phone.
There are two versions of WM6 out there
1)The first one was a Japanese WM6 ROM releases for the HTC Hermes (Cingular 8525). This was then ported to the Wizard.
2)Faria says his latest rom uses the WM6 rom that is intended for release for the HTC Wizard (Cingular 8125).
Since we are on the subject,
what are the main advantage of WM6 over WM5?
I flashed MB rom about a month ago, and I use it for about 1 week before switching back to Faria's old ROM. People talk about speed, but in my opinion, it's about the same and a bit slower.
Maybe it's because I'm not used to the new system, but I think that some of the functions are more hassle, for example, the pin code. In WM5, u just put in your PIN and ta da, automatic you are logged in. in WM6, u have to push the unlock button after u keyed in your Pin. Another one is the message button at the left top of your wizard. in WM5, you push it and it automatically go to the last view message, i.e. either text message or SMS or email. in WM6 everytime you use the button, u have to choose where to go..
ANother things, most of WM6 released is pretty bare, that's maybe some of us find it faster. Since I'm already pampered with a lot of utils from the previous ROm, I found it too much hassle to go find and install all this necessary application into my PPC.
Just my thought

First, some of the things you mentioned about WM6 are configurable (like going to messaging and having to choose. I turned that off so it works like WM5 for me).
As for being bare, yes some are and thats what some like. If you don't want bare, then try the Faria "the real thing" WM6. Its very similar to AKU 3.3 in that it has lots of stuff 9but not as much stuff ans WM6 is bigger and he couldn't put everything in it).
Good luck.
hey all i saw someone had a list of wizard programs it was really long,.. i been searching and can not find it... can someone give me a hand,., also can anyone show me where to get some games.. thanks
I've not had any feedback from the other mods on this, but I think this is a great idea and one started by Sandrobber. Please send me a PM if you are interested in getting a wiki page started for Wizard specific cabs. (That means you will be writing the page.)
a post liekthis already exsist i am trying to find it
Why don't you guys use GOOGLE? There's not such thing as wizard cabs... just wm5 cabs or wm6 cabs... try searching for pocket pc freeware
Some cabs are Wizard specific, such as tweaks. It's not always as easy as Google-ing.
Go to wizardupgrading forum and there you will find the list of wiard software the thread is sticky started by texasaggie.

This is my first post, so please be gentle.
I only recently got my Kaiser (two weeks), and I've been toying with different ROMs. I tried QMobile 1.2, and it seemed alright, but I keep seeing Youtube videos about the "Cube", and it looks like it'd be really handy to have since I don't like pulling out my stylus. It seemed like QMobile 1.2 had "TouchFlo", but I can't seem to find the same "cube" navigation demonstrated in the videos.
I've spent 3-4 days doing nothing but reading the Wiki and forums, as I didn't want to make another duplication of a question asked dozens of times. I've got a notebook with 5 pages of acronyms and numbers, already
So - from what I can gather, Dutty's ROMs seem to be the best I can find that have this Cube thing, as well as what seems to be extensive customization.
My Kaiser is HardSPL'd and I've downloaded and installed QMobile 1.2, so I'm relatively familiar with the process.
This (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=361544) thread seems to be about the "Duttys DualTouch v4 RTM Release", which appears to be WM6.0 and what I want. After 30 searches across the Forum and Wiki all I find is discussion about a 6.1 version being available, but I'm not really interested in that until it's officially released (with documentation).
My verbose background aside, I can't seem to find a download link for this release. When I go to the Dutty's lives-in-eu site, I get a server-not-found error. A few pages back in the thread there is another link, but it was password protected.
If for whatever reason Dutty's site has been removed, can anyone else recommend a ROM that has lots of space, the "cube" (or similar finger navigation), slide to unlock and AT&T Tilt stuff (like a compatible radio and Connection Settings)?
Help?
I should also mention that I really appreciated the "Acronyms" sections of the Wiki and FAQ. My first reading of the board was nearly impossible with the number of acronyms. Perhaps someone could add something explaining the 'Cube' ? It seems like a very big feature for the Tilt / Touch, but I can't find a good explanation of what TouchFlo / FTouchFlo / Cube etc., really are, where they came from, etc.
Dutty's new ROM is not available yet. Friday is what he is saying. I use his v4 and it works great other than the damn weather plugin that I finally got P1tater to help me out with. Very fast, and stable.
Here is an alternate link for the V4
http://www.4shared.com/file/36654074/65521948/Duttys_Dualtouch_v4_RTM.html?dirPwdVerified=1f45688
This is the best cube.

Here we go.
Ftouchflo enables you to drag you finger across the screen for scrolling.
FtouchfloConfig is the app to allow you to access the cube. Once enabled you can "usually" drag you finger from bottom to top of your screen to launch the cube. If you can't get it try to reduce the duration from 100 to 300.
Dutty V4 is a very good WM6 rom. It is his current stable release. He is working on 6.1, and a lot of peeps on here are chomping at the bit for it.
Unfortunatley his download section is down (hence the page not found error on the site).
I'd recommend a Schaps or Alex rom at the moment, if you can't get dutties.
Alex has a Wiki page that explains wha is in each. There are 7 versions, including a cube one.
My advice to you is keep reading posts, and it will all start to make sense.
You can install anything you want (eg SU2U), try searching for the cabs or ask if you are really stuck or don't know what summat is called. you can use google, see the stcky on the ofther kaser post.
To be honest it is all down to personal prefs. All the chefs here are very good at what they do... Schaps, Dutty, Alex et al. It doesn't cost anything to flash a new ROM everyday (unless you muck it up ) so try all of the ROMS here and see which one suits your prefs best.
I think the server Dutty is using is down right now, and that's why you are unable to download DualTouch V4. Check the site: http://duttythroy.lives-in.eu/cms/ every now and then, and if it comes back up, there will be a folder called DualTouch where you will be able to download the ROM.
For now, its possible to get the cube on the Q-Mobile ROM. Visit this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=350011 and download the files. I believe this cube runs quite well. It has a different skin than the original cube, but poorlyduck has also included files to revert back to the original skin. Just read the thread and I'm sure you will figure it out...
Hope that helps...
Wow you guys all nailed it.
Thank you Dave for the explanation, I added it to my notebook. Is FTouchFlo something that HTC made for the Kaiser or did someone port it over? If so, whom? I'd like to see what else they did, maybe donate.
Thank you alltheway for that link, it looks like you've got a lot of stuff shared out there. I just finished the Dutty v4, so I'll be trying it...
And zakhir I downloaded that cube, the Vista one. Finally have one that works, woohoo! Thanks. One question though - is there anyway to make s2u2 work with the Cube? When I 'slide to unlock' left to right, I end up opening the cube and spinning it.
EDIT: Nevermind, found the answer to that one with Google: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=360813

We found someone that knows not only how to read...but how to use Google...I'm so happy.
DCS v1.5
Give DCS a try!
I found its really fast and has essential progs.
I believe it is comparable to Dutty Roms.
You must of course flash a new radio

You can add s2u2 to the exceptions settings of ftouchflo... then you wont activate the cube when trying to unlock the phone from s2u2

me too, seems it's one of those famous days where I can go to bed, happy
and by the way, downloadsection on dutty site is up as interim solution until we found a better hosting possibility.
OK, It would be great to get a place where I can look through the WM5 cabs that we have available here. I keep searching and end up having to try 4 different version of HTC Home plugin before getting the WM5 one, or having to install remove HARD Reset other HTC apps or different themes. If we had a WM5 section I think it would be great. I would be happy to post all the Apps that I found to work on WM5 so far. As well as a few the had me HARD Reset ...
Well That is just an Idea. I know many people have moved to WM6 but WM6 slows an older phone down (Cingular 8125) from what I have read.
Best Regards,
SoBBie
you can post all your wm5 programs over here.
