I have the IPAQ 4350 [Not the Phone version]. It is just the regular PocketPC with 2003 OS I believe. I would like to know if this can be upgraded or purchase a newer ROM that handles the limited 64MB RAM memory better. Is version WM 6 or 6.1 even possible. maybe not? If so how do I do this. This is a great forum.
You can find lots of ROMs here yes, but most of them are for the phones, since they are used mostly by people who want to tweak 'em. I'm also still looking for a nice ROM for my Ipaq 4350, but in the meantime I'll just enjoy my Touch Diamond's new ROM If you find a nice ROM please pm me

Is it possible to port a WM5 ROM to the Kaiser? Apparently its lighter and might work faster on this.

:/
but what you are not looking at is the BUGGY RAM (ram leaks)
the ram depletes like crazy even though no processes are running
this problem does not exist with WM6
eg. in my previous device O2 executive (Universal)
running WM5 initial ram 31 mb
after 3 days 12-15 mb so i have to soft reset
same device running wm6 initial ram 28-29 mb
after 3 days 23-24 mb so no soft reset required
besides the WM5 interface looks ugly as s**t

WM6 in fact... is not a new software comparing to WM5, it's just a very good Service Pack. What does it mean? WM6 is much better and faster than WM5!!! You must be the only person in this community that want to go back!!!
Strange question indeed... it is pointless, and would only generate regressions on your device :?
I am happy to note that the old problem on TyTNs AKU 3.x WM5 with files vanishing from the microSD card is not solved in TyTN IIs WM6. I was playing MP3 files in PocketPlayer, then paused the player and wanted to resume a few hours later, only to discover that the directory was empty... Pulling out the microSD card and putting it back solved the problem and the files came back again.
This took away some of the nostalgia I was feeling for my old PDA.

If you said compare Windows mobile 2003 and say WM5, I might have agreed with you.
But WM6 has *always* run faster and more reliably than WM6 on all windows mobile device I've tried
Wizard user here (looking for upgrade)
I got to disagree out of my personal experience.
I ran WM6 on my slow 200mHz processor and it was remarkably slower than the WM5 i'm now running.
Memory leaks are true though, and I have to reset once a week because the damn thing ran out or ram ... I find this is a small price to pay for the speed i gain.
WM5 vs WM6

Maybe not the only one.
I personally think there are some things about WM6 that are not improvements, e.g. dialpad and inability to replace dialpad with a good big button keyboard. After all, this is still a phone, and good, reliable, easy to use dialpad is important to me.
i have a simple questio why all ROM cooker`s make only wm6 and wm6.1 professional instead of improving the standard one wich was made for smartphones non touchscreen?The wm6 and wm6.1 pro are to hard to use because HTC Tornado doesn`t have touch screen..why all of you try to improve the pro version instead of the standard one?
Because 6.1 Professional has a lot more options and is a lot more powerful in general. I encourage you to get hold of a Wizard or Hermes or TyTN or one of HTC's touchscreen PDA phones with 6.1 Pro on it (I have a friend who owns a Wizard that I play with once in a while) and try it out.
If they can get 6.1Pro to work on a Smartphone, I can see how a lot of people would want it.
Of course, on a personal level, I've tried one of the 6.1Pro ROMs currently available for the Tornado and, honestly, I don't like it. It's got a lot of stuff that I want, but the interface just doesn't seem to work for me. I can't find my way around, can't figure out the button layout. If there was a 6.1 Standard that had all the options and capabilities of 6.1Pro, or if there was a 6.1Pro with a 6.1Standard interface, I'd be ALL FOR IT.
In any case, there's at least one person working on a 6.1 Standard for us Tornado users - GnatGoSplat has an *excellent* 6.1 Standard ROM that's been available for quite some time and, we're hoping, will be updated in the near future. GnatGoSplat rules.

I'm with you on this mate... Pro is for touch screen devices. Why the heck would anyone want that on a non-touch screen device? I have an HTC Touch running GnatGoSplats WM6.1 Pro - brilliant... I also have a Tornado running Gregory's WM6 Neo - also brillianr, but I wouldn't want anOS designed for a completely different kind of device on my Tornado no matter how good Pro is! Leave Pro with the touch screen devices, THAT'S WHAT IT'S FOR!!!

Why am I posting things twice? I must have got carried away with my ranting.... sorry!
pro versoon for smartphone rocks
yes but pro isn`t for non touchscreen devices...in my opinion for HTC Tornado make wm6.1 or wm6 better and do not try to make the pro version better...
Hi,
I'm almost about to buy the Vox. It comes with WM 6.0, is it wise to flash it to WM6.1?
Wich rom would be the best? Depens on what apps i need?
And is it possible to play gameboy emulators with it?
thanks very much

Personally I'm running the Lefab47 Fireburned WM6.1 ROM
12 months in the VOX is still hands down the best phone Ive ever owned.
6.1 is a definate yes - its a big improvement
I would also suggest getting one of the XIP 20202 core roms as this addresses on of my only 2 gripes with the VOX, namely the speed - it was slightly underpowered, however with the new core speed is no longer an issue its greatly improved so my only remaining grip is that the camera could be better - but hey its almost perfect.
DO BUY ONE - they are seriously good
I found pocketGBA, hope this works.
I have xv6700 and wanted to know what was the best 6.1 rooms for this phone that didnt have any issues.
depending on your bootloader give my 6.1 rom a try ive had no issues with it
where do i dl yours from?
which bootloader is your Apache?
which ever is the best one for my xv6700 but i do need to back up my wm 5 thats already on here... what software is best for backing everything up
bump.... still need a 6.1 rom that works good with verizon 6700
I think it's wm 6.1 21054.
is this the bootloader or version of the rom i should be looking for
i recommend mr4r4n's 6.5 roms found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=502418
i ask for 6.1 not 6.5.... its prob gonna make my phone real slow anyways
he cooks 6.1 roms too but his 6.5 roms are really nice not slow at all and the titanium interface is great for this phone where its low on memory and would have trouble running m2d or spb mobile shell 3

i agree, im using his 6.5 and its much better then 6.1 and forget M2D, now that's a real memorry killer, it was designed for the newer phones that have 3 times as much as the good old ppc 6700
Hi there,
I know and understand the reasons why M$ did not release a WM5 ROM for this old device although the hardware supports it. My question would be: Is it possible for someone to cook a WM5 or later ROM for it starting from a ROM designed for a similar iPaq? I really don't know much about cooking ROMs but I am willing to learn. I just want to know if it's worth it..
Thanks.
Microsoft does not release any device ROMs, hp does in this case.
WM5 required at least 64MB ROM and 64MB RAM, so h3900 series iPAQs are not compatible.
And it's not possible to a cook new ROM for it.
