Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard in 100 pictures

Can’t believe we missed this! The brand new Motorola Q9 with Wi-Fi we just got? Yeah, that has Windows Mobile 6.1 on it! We’re getting the video up soon, but for now, check out our full Windows Mobile 6.1 gallery, and the new things we found!

Looks good, but I'd say this is just a modification done by the operator/manufacturer, like they did with the Treo 500v.

I've not got this working with my wm6.1 ipaq ppc (classic) with widcomm stack.
please let us know if you get it working with your device (hw&sw versions) and any comments.
Also if you find any gadgets that you recommend let us all know.

Samsung i600 is working perfectly, but there are very few sideshow gadgets and most of them suck .

The mobile app says it is a beta and has expired, does anyone know if there is a newer/better version out there I've been looking all over the place and cant find anything? Am I the only person who thinks sideshow is really cool???

i am also getting a similar message that beta has expired ... any help

Just found this

Ive had the cab for this for ages, but only recently have I had vista to be able to use it.
Ive had it working well on:
HTC S710 VOX
HTC P3450 ELF
HTC P3450 ELFIN

Doesnt seem to work on my Polaris, doesn't seem to save my user name. Always get asked to "Selected Current User" and can never turn on any gadgets in windows. Anyone else with the same problem?

thats what the expired cab did for me. have you uninstalled the old one and reinstalled the new one?
i'm using it for the media centre gadgets, but i have TV Pack 2008 and they dont work with it :-(
i've been waiting years for sideshow and now the thing i want to use it with isnt suported

yeah tried to install the new one but doesn't work. Apparently Microsoft are working on this but I don't think they will release anything soon. They stated that "We have seen this issue, and are investigating the cause. It seems to be sporadic." Testing this on Windows 7 beta so don't know whether this is the cause or whether it might be the ROM I am using.

Doubth about Windows Mobile 6.1

hello everyone... im new on windows mobile, and i want to upgrade my HTC 8125 windows mobile 5 to 6.1 with touch flo...
most programs i have are for Windows Mobile 5,
i wonder if they still compatible with wm 6.1?
thanks...
hope u can help me...

you can run just about anything for wm5 on wm6.1
you just need to find a rom that has touch scrolling. the touchflo control panel is not nessesary.
my rom has the touch dll installed in it and in most cases I dont use a stilus. most roms have the scroling feature nowadays anyway.
watch for brightrom final.
I will be uploading it tomorrow.

thanks!
i want touch flo just to have the feature but as a matter of fact... any good room will be good:.. thanks! =)

HTC Touch Cruise with XDA-developers ROM

Hello all,
I'm totally new to this so please be a little patient with me.
Last week I bought a second hand HTC Touch Cruise. After playing a while and learning hoe to use I noticed some discrepancies between the software and the manual.
In ROM settings I found:
Released at XDA-developers.com
Polaris (Build 0.60)
(c)2007 bepe @ Polaris Project
Thanks to: maimach, ...
Edition: Full
ROM date: 17.03.2008
Build time: 15:11:29
My questions:
1. So this is not an original Windows Mobile 6.1?
2. Should I upgrade this, if yes: how?
3. I'm missing the Windows Live Messenger
4. I totally do not like the Opera Browser, but this seams fixed and automatically being used
5. Windows Update is gone; do I miss something there
6. Is it possible to go back to the original Windows? And what would I miss with that?
Thanks for your patience, and hopefully someone can guide me through this.
Greetings,
Berkie60

Yes, you have a custom version of Windows Mobile installed on your device. HTC has not yet released a Windows Mobile 6.1 ROM for the Touch Cruise yet. From factory, they all come with Windows Mobile 6.0 installed. The factory version has Pocket IE setup as the default browser, along with Opera 8.65 installed. Also, the factory version does not have threaded SMS and zooming in IE, since those are features of WM6.1, not WM6.0. If I were in your shoes, I'd keep the Bepe ROM just a little while longer as the official HTC WM6.1 release should (fingers crossed) be here any day now. I'd upgrade to that, instead of going back the the official WM6.0 ROM at this point only to upgrade to the official ROM when its released shortly.

Also, you might want to go to Opera.com and download the Opera Mobile 9.5 Beta. Its a much improved browser akin to the iPhone Safari experience.

Hello,
Thanks for your advice.
Yes, I will wait.
I installed the Opera 9.5beta, but I still get the problem of extreme miniaturized webpages, so I will stick to IE for now.
What about Live Messenger? I cannot get int from the Microsoft site. Is it available here?
Thanks, Arnie

Hi -- the legwork for all your questions has already been completed -- try out the forum search feature, it works very well.

Do some browsing around these forums and you'll discover a lot. A search for Live messenger cab will reveal some download links. Double tapping on the screen will zoom in when using Opera Mobile 9.5. Double tapping again will zoom you back out.

Remote Desktop 6.5 cab

Hi,
I am planning on flashing to a ROM that uses Windows Mobile 6.5. However from what I understand there are two major issues:
1. No all of the Winmo 6.5 roms include Windows Remote Desktop
2. The Windows Remote Desktop 6.1 cabs are not compatible.
Where can I get a functional Remote Desktop Mobile cab file that works with Windows Mobile 6.5?

I honestly have no idea if it works on 6.5 (since I don't use 6.5), but maybe ZaDesktop could be given a try. I use it since my device didn't have rdesktop on it by default and during a reinstall I had to install ZaTunnel anyway.

Got any solutions ?

Here you go; this is from build 28244. It seems to work (I installed it to test, and loaded the app). I've never used RD before, though.
Edit: I tested it out, and it works. Hell, it's kind of cool, lol.
