Samsung SGH i750 (PPC)

Hi all,
I´m quite happy with my qtek 9100, however I have another PDA, which is Samsung SGH i750. And is quite amazing pda, much better then qtek in several aspects.
http://www.mobile-review.com/review/samsung-i750-en.shtml
Better camera (2mp), better processor (Intel XScale PXA27x 416 MHz), remote control integrated by default and works as normal remote control, smaller, etc ... among many other stuff not available on my qtek.
But it has a HUGE backstep... it´s WM2003 SE2...
I know that Samsung already mentioned about an WM05 upgrade had been made, but nothing until now. I remember that i730 took many many months to get an official WM05 upgrade.
So i wonder if anyone have any news about updated news about Samsung i750 WM05 upgrade..
Thanks

Yes I posted there too... but the help is to contact net provider or samsung... in the end, no real help.
Thanks

Does anyone have access to a WM5 730 (or similar) that I can get a registry dump from? Would be really handy for some hacks...

Looking for Remote Control App
I'm looking for the Remote Control application that was included in these devices... I had the i730 back in the day, and now have the XV6800... I haven't found a Remote Application that looks halfway decent since... the native one in the Samsung phones were really, really good IMHO.
Anyone know of a way to get it?

Can I load Windows 2003 on HTC Touch/Dual /O2 Flame

Hi all,
I have been using o2 XDA and XDA II mini for many years , i tried almost all new phones with WM5/6 and i am very much sure that it does not serve my purpose and work.
Can I buy a new 02 / HTC touch dual or tytn and load windows 2003 on it.
I understand that i will loose warranty etc. but is it possible. pros & cons?
Can i do it ? how ?
thanks

roms are tailored 100% for a device
so if the device maker never made a 2003rom for a device
one would have to start from scratch and maybe
have to reverse engineer drivers if some were requied
and not available in a wm2003 model

if someone really wants to spend money and energy he can,but it would be better to have wm5 or 6 for some devices like magician instead an overcomed 2003 for newer ones like touch dual, pharos,cruise,diamond
and by the way people developing os are trying to make a better os every time, and in most cases they do it, so you get better memory handling, better drivers...faster device if you want it that way

WOW! Why would you want to put a server OS on your phone? lol

do you have a specific for example compatibility problem with WM5+?

I have over 10,000 client contacts on my phone , I transferred data to couple of new phones with wm5 and wm6. All is well till I try to search. When i search for a contact it takes around 5 mins on new phones with wm5 and wm6 . It takes 3-4 secs on the the XDAII and XDA mini for the same. having tried many phones and tools , i assumed that the problem should be with OS. with improved graphics and whole lot of other features which take up the active resources may be the search module does not get all that is required.
MY xda mini 2003 / xda II 2002 have less features ,less graphics so they are faster is what i have concluded from all these experiments that i have done wit new phones.
Thanks

If you compare the search tool with my kind of data, you will understand taht the new OS is not of any help to me. I agree , that there may be whole lot of new features and drivers , But search in a n integral part of the os and don't understand why that should change. and it works superb in earlier versions 3 secs V/s 5 mins to search.

Your problem is caused by a new way of working with memory in WM5+ systems. WM2003 used part of RAM as a storage medium for installed programs and also contact databases were located there. WM5+ uses internal flash instead. Data from flash doesn't disapear when you run out of battery juice. On the other hand it is a numerous times slower. However i cannot imagine the slowdown would have been so drastic. I would advise you trying the fastest possible device with lots of RAM (Samusng Omnia i900 or HTC Touch Diamond). It is possible the slowdown will be more acceptable. If it will be no success you can modify some ROM to use RamDisk as a storage medium. However, there are no new devices with WM2003 ROMs available.

That is the most convincing answer that i have got since last year when i started looking for replacement for my XDA.
After trying almost every new and latest PDAs in the market, I am sure that the new PDAs will not be any great help
BUT your statement - " Modify some ROM to use RamDisk as a storage medium." makes me hopeful.
Unfortunately, for novice like me it ends there. I don't know how modify ROMS, or any place where i can get it done. Even if i get one, i don't know how to load it. Tutorials did not help much, they were just too much technical. I may be a odd one in this developer forum, but this is only place where i think i can get the answer. I am just looking for PDA that is just equvialent to my XDA II and XDA mini
Many Thanks for your response

Htc touch clone

Hi guys!
I have found a device (look at photos), it's chinese Htc touch (named NTC) with same hardware and windows mobile 6.1 Professional. The question is: can I install other windows mobile (normal Russian). And shant I have problem after that?

As always copies are tacky

Well if you haven´t buyed I recommend no to...
If you already buyed expect bad quality and short duration in general.
EDIT: Erased comment after reading Mod after post

It is very hard to flash the device with other ROMs.
They are known to have DIFFERENT hardware (so the drivers aren't compatible). Even the clones are different from each other..
They have different bootloaders, so our methods of hardSPL etc won't help.
Next to that, there is the quality issue, it is not even close to the quality of an HTC device.
So to sum it up:
-bad quality, no support, no availability of cooked ROMs, no warranty..
I would say, stay clear from it!
Regards,
EqX

Thanks guys, you helped me so much, thanks to you I haven't bought it)). The prices difference between original htc and clone is 100$, so i'd better buy an original one

I doubt ull find anything to give it a new look, ur best bet is to flash WM 6.1 on it, it is excellent, i flashed my old SP3(Typhoon) and works very well. Flashing those old phones is a bit tricky but worth it, the rom is here:

Windows Mobile 6.5 Needed

Hello, I have been developing android for phones for a while but need to know if there is a way to port Windows Mobile 6.5 to the HTC CHACHA. I ask of this because I want to see the old 6.5 again but on a newer handset. I did like it then and want back now as well.
Please reply soon.

Are you joking? Dont do this s**t, dont put windows wher he shouldnt be.
Windows on phones is the worst mistake that MS do.

I know what you mean dude, but is it possible? I have loads of .cab files to test out on the OS and have been collecting them for years - if they work on the ChaCha I could be on to something.
The OS can be similar of that to the HTC Excalibur or the HTC Snap. It doesn't really matter which - but is it possible on the processor??

Gimme a shout (PM or something) with some other extra info (mainly how do you want the OS) and if there's any chance of taking it off an old HTC phone that I have lying around gathering dust on it. I remember having an .img with 6.5 but it got lost (prolly deleted it).

Hi, thank you for replying Alex C., i need a rom for the ChaCha in the format of the one that used to be on the Samsung Jack (it is a Windows Mobile 6.5 qwerty).
However will the ROM work on the ChaCha processor and will it be stable??
Also, the processor on the Jack is 528MHZ and the ChaCha is 800MHZ will there be a significant speed increase??
If you can get me a ROM that will boot and stable - we could open a Windows Mobile thread.
Also, you said you get something off a HTC phone - will HTC Excalibur be able to work on ChaCha.
Thanks Alex C. Please let me know soon, TechMayhem.

Don't bother wasting your time, you don't have any proprietary files, don't have a bootloader and WM doesn't have support for your phone.
Android phones use dalvik VM to load the java-based Android OS. WM is not java-based and can therefore not be booted by this phone. Only possibility is that you would mix up an WM 6.5 phone with the chacha, but I don't think you will succeed. Ever. You might try just picking up a second hand WM6.5 phone though, I don't think they cost much. And you could always try your .cab's on a emulator on your pc.
