You arent going to gain any advantages from going to WM6. The hardware in the 6700 cant support it.

Hiya Guys & Dolls,
I'm back after a long break and have been reading all through the various posts i have missed in the last year or so.
I used to be an xda user (still am but am upgrading)
In the next couple of weeks I will be getting an MDA Vario (with Co-pilot)
and my wife will be getting a girlie pink MDA Compact II (with Co-pilot)
The big question is, what tweaks do you all think are necessary to make the devices "Liveable with" I gather they need a bit of help in the speed department! I gather overclocking is a necessity?
Also I have just been reading in one of the forums and the Wiki section about "BIG Storage" What will this achieve for me? What benefits is is likely to give me?
Hopefully I will be an active member of the forums once again; very shortly! Whats the point in having these things if you dont tinker! Theres no fun in just leaving well alone!
Hope some of you out there will give me some pointers in the right direction and some suggestions on what i might feel necessary to do.
Thanks in advance. its great to be back and hopefully I will find all the memebers on this site just as friendly and helpful as they used to be.
Look forward to hearing from you all soon. :wink:
your first step a bit more speed is to remove the tmobile customisation.
to do this hard reset the vario (or at first boot) then after all the windows regional settings, digitiser screens you will get a windows that says installing customisation (or words to that affect) quickly soft reset the vario and it will reboot without all the bloat.
there are lots of other tweaks in this forum, that will make your vario very useable
welcome back

So just to be clear...
If I do a soft reset while the screen is showing the T-Mobile installer working *after* the device is loaded and running WM5, my MDA Vario will still work and connect to the T-Mobile network for calls, GPRS, etc., just quicker?
If I later decide I'm missing something, can I just hard reset and let T-Mobile load all it's bloat?
the mdac2 is actually a charmer not a magician, so go following any guides for a magician regarding roms or you'll wreck the phone.
Thanks Dave!
Thanks for that dave, there are so many names for these things I managed to get myself confused already! Its a definite mine field!
I shall have to start looking in a different place to get the missus's phone sorted now!
I knew you guys were great, you just saved me a costly misfortune from the outset!
Oh dear!
Just looked on the Wiki pages and there is bugger all for the Charmer..!
Does that mean i'm gonna be limited to my options for making it useable?
Hope thats not gonna be the case?

The mdac 2 is great and you can mod it as much as anything else. The overclocking works fine as do most other tweaks that work on the Vario.
Hey all
I've noticed a LOT of the newer devices have the AKU 3 update installed and on these forums theres a few devices which have had aku3 updates cooked for them!
im wondering if theres any interest in developing one for the tornado range of devices, theres a lot of people who use this device and i reckon it would be quite good!
I'm up for cooking a rom, but i dont know where to start learning, i have virtually nil programming knowledge, only HTML!
so post back if you would be interested in cooking a rom and if you CAN cook a rom!
Hey
OK, i've got a load of free time now, so ANYONE who is willing to help develope a new ROM for the Tornado, post here and collect our knowledge!
i'm going to be reading up on most of the theory today so i can figure out whats what.

Where do you get AKU3 rom ? link ?
salaam
I was considering extracting the AKU3 update from a different smartphone, like say the I-mate SPL (the RAZR-esque one) and then would it not just be a straightforward, swap out of drivers, like swap display, keyboard, joystick, hardware buttons over in place of the ones that come originally with the i-mate spl rom?
if people have managed it by adapting a benq rom for the himalaya (im assuming they just replaced the drivers for ones compatible with the Himalaya)
could anybody elaborate on this?
thanx
i know almost the whole process of dumping the rom, modifying it.. but i cant compile the final product. has anybody managed to compile the "dump" folder?
Hi, i sure hope the great genious arond here can figure this out.
Hi,
Is there anyone who knows if it's possible to upgrade my old Qtek9100 to WM6 (english) and how (mini installations guide)?
If this is possible do anyone know if it's possible to install HTC Home Plugin a la HTC Touch on my Qtek9100?
Look forward hearing from all of you...
Sure that you can upgrade to WM6 (because I, am a newbie, did it my self). Just follow instructions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298613
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285435
Do EXACTLY step-by-step and it'll naturally done, not complicated at all!
About HTC Touch & Plugin, i dont know because have never used. I'll try later...
The best thing is to READ first then ask questions...
One more useless topic!
Sigh...
thanks a lot
...but where do I find the WM6 for my Qtek9100 or is it the T-Mobile 2.26 ROM (and is this in german) who is the WM6? If not do you know if I can have free WM6 for my Qtek9100?

Oh no you can't! WM6 for the Wizard would cost you at least a hundred bucks...
Well maybe I have THE solution for you:
Once again: READ! for God's sake!
Dear Quiyaro
OK I didn't know that and maybe this is why I ask. I hope not I get you to be angry because it's seems that I did that. I have been trying to find out by reading but I can't find the answers I looking for therefore I'm asking again.
In the first place I was only asking if I could upgrade my Qtek9100 from WM5 to WM6 and I got a long list of things that I should do before but nobody told me before you that I should buy a WM6 also.
Thanks in advance. I think I'll drop to upgrade my PDA because it seems to be a little bit to complicated for me but if you can help me I'll be glad anyway...

He's messing with you. Read those topics carefully especially if you have a g4. it shoud tell you how to tell. You'll figure it out and soon be a rom addict like us.
Hi, I am new here and to windows mobile. I just purchased a HTC Tornado and I am looking for a thread that tells me how to upgrade it from WM5 to WM6. The problem is, when I search for HTC Tornado all the threads show a different Tornado phone then what I have. I have the HTC Tornado from Tmobile. Would I upgrade it the same way you upgrade the Tornado I keep seeing in this section?? Do I have a older model or something? Any help would be greatly appreciated! I attached a picture of the Torando that I have.
Thanks
You have a regular Tornado, simply the music edition. It's identical to mine and you can use without problem any of the WM6 that are available here
The insides are the same as the tornado, T-Mobile just puts their case on it. Many companies do the same.
I have the exact same version. Also called SP5m for the music edition. Be *very* careful to burn only those ROMS made for the Tornado. HTC Faraday for example looks very similar and many people have "bricked" their phone (made it totally useless) by installing that ROM.
Good luck.
Thanks for the help guys.. Anyone know where I can view a help section for newbs? I take it ROMS are programs?? And when you say my Tornado is the music edition, the other tornado can't play music? Can I update from WM5 right to WM6?
Thanks
It is the same HTC Tornado as any other. It has the exact same specs and features. The only differenece is the case. You can use any ROM for HTC Tornado.
other tornado don't have special buttons(play, next, previous), but they play music just the same as your SP5m does. ROMs are programs to upgrade your OS(operating system), it's like changing the PC OS from XP to Vista having a special software to help you do that more easily, there is no forum/section for newbs, as an advice, read all FAQs and other instructions here in Tornado section, and when you think you are ready - upgrade you WM5 to WM6, but if you aren't sure in smth better ask here before you make a step in nowhere..
good luck
Is there any big advantages to upgrade WM5 to WM6? Hard to do for a newb?
WM6 is lot better than WM5. I like it lot more. And it is not hard to upgrade to WM6. Basically you just need to superCID your phone, format BINFS and run the ROM Update Utility. Read this for more info: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=324557
Thanks for the help. My phone should be here anyday now. Can't wait to mess around with it Is there anywhere anyone knows of where I can get newbie info on all the terms such as SuperCID, BINFS etc..
try the wiki. Look at the links at the top of the forums.
I've been trying to work out whether I can (or not) upgrade my Magician (iMate Jam) to WM6.5, but found out 1) that search is (semi?)broken, and 2) that you guys use a hell of a lot of lingo that I don't understand.... So please, can someone tell me whether I can upgrade a Magician model to WM6.5, and if so, could you please point me to relevant tutorials/downloads? Hopefully I'd be able to understand them, it's not like I'm afraid to tinker.
TIA!
Welcome to forums
Have a deep read here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Magician
Good luck,
Ok, it says I can do WM6.1 . It doesn't talk about 6.5 though. Any advice there? Or is it just too old? It IS my brother's old one.
If you cook your own ROM you can.

All is matter of reading and searching
have a look on your device section on the forum, perhaps someoene already have a 6.5 ROM
Here , R1 is 6.5. But it is for 128 machines only. To put a 6.5 on a 64 machine would leave so little ram, the phone would be unusable.
