Q: Windows Mobile 6.1 on Touch Cruise ?

Is there a way to update my touch cruise with the latest version of Windows Mobie, which was released on 1st April ?

Officially, no, not until HTC customizes WM6.1 for our devices.
Unofficially, yes, check out the Upgrades section of the Polaris forum. Many have customized it for our devices already. Just be sure to read all the directions and understand the process before doing an unofficial upgrade.

Read some threads in the, well, "Polaris Upgrading"..

Hi all. I was wondering wether this unofficial ROMs are legal or not. I mean, distributing on e-mule a customized version of Windows XP would be illegal, but with Windows Mobile it may be different. The emulator for Windows is free, for example. So?
Thank you

M$ wanted to shut down XDA-DEV... i guess this answers your question...

Ok, thank you.
By the way, I think that uncle Bill would love to shut down many other legal sites... say, for example, www.ubuntu.com, or www.apple.com...

Sure they do... but those only mess up the market, we correct their products

HTC releases WM6.1 Upgrade for Touch Cruise
After update my Touch Cruise to Windows Mobile 6.1, I have noticed that ActiveSync is always running, even after close it. I have an Outlook Exchange account configured but the sync schedule is set to manual. I’ve read some forums and some people suggested to uncheck the automatic time zone in the phone settings, but this is not working also. This don't happen with WM6, before upgrade. Someone have this problem?

ActiveSync should always be running, it is possible that it was set up not to be shown in the WM6 HTC App manager exclusion list.

There was no 6.1 upgrade released on the date quoted. Recent one floating on the first page of 'Polaris upgrading' threads. Check them and upgrade your device.

HTC has released 6.1 for the touch cruise. you can get it from there site.

ROM 6.5 for HP ipaq data messenger (HP Oak)
I have tried to find ROM 6.5 for HP ipaq data messenger (HP Oak), but not found
Please help me or please cook for me.
Thanks

I am looking for a new version of Windows Mobile for "HP iPAQ Data Messenger".
Can anyone tell me the code name or the HTC Gert, which is identical in construction?

Hi guys,
did anyonbe identify the ata messenger?
Which HTC version would it be?
tx

any updates?

There should be no reason why it can't be updated. The old ipaq got a update.

I'm also looking for the WM6.5 update for the HP Data Messenger, HP Oak, but no luck!
Not sure if compatible choices is the right move?
Anyone tried?

Not to be found
Also looking for WM 6.5 ROM for the Data Messenger, but so far I've had no luck and I have looked for it vigorously !

Also looking for data messenger 6.5 rom
Hi I am also looking for data messenger 6.5 ROM, anyone cooking it?
I will donate to anyone how can have a 6.5 rom for data messenger.
Thanks

Guys, there is currently no 6.5 ROM out and I doubt there will ever be one since the Data Messenger was discontinued November 2009. (In other words, none are gonna be made anymore, those around are the last ones).
I think all you guys want is a phone with more eye candy and touch friendlier. So I recommend these apps that I have on my Data Messenger to make it awesome:
SPB Mobile Shell
Opera Mobile 10 (Free)
Resco Explorer
Resco Photo Manager (Or you can go with the free HTC Album App)
HTC Dialer (Free)

ROM
Hi, thanks for that list, I already installed mobile shell and the phone is a lot more usable and stable but still it sometimes crashes.
I gather that HP won't release any new version for it, but I was hoping that someone here would try to cook a rom for it.
Thanks

It is the worst device I have bought in my all live!
No assistance, no Update, no Battery live, too many bugs... too many crash...
I was forced to buy a new device.
HP... never more!!!

ANOTHER Data Messenger ...
wen i bought it 10 months ago i was pretty sure that it can be valid(hp...)
i found it unusable but i installed several applications, and now is more eyecandy...
Home Screen ++
personlized, Pocket cm contact
Pocket cm keyboard, enhanced file explorer,
Mortplayer(but it crashes really often)
and various other things...
but now is a bit slow...
i can cook a rom but i can't find resources;
what kind of program i need? and about compatibility or driver?
if you have possibility to find a wm6.5 to kook i'll be pleasured to create a rom...
Thanks to all!!!!

Somebody can help me?My HP data messenger was can't boot anymore.When i hard reset after that it's doesn't come back.How can I do that?

Which is WM 6.1 ROM faster?

Hai All,
I'm bata, from Indonesia. I bought 2nd hand Dopod 900 since last year, with installed windows mobile 5.0.
Since i know this forum last month, i took a chance to try Tomal recent ROM for my HTC Uni. I already try WM 6.5 D.09.00 TML WWE. and now, my device seems running slowly, and it happen so often, when i try to write a message or reply message from previous thread, suddenly the pointer active but i couldn't write any letter. but if i press start button, sliding menu still working well. This is very disturbing, so if i want to write a message i must do a soft reset.
Now i try to downgrade my Uni with windows mobile 6.1, i saw in this forum, there is alot version of WM 6.1, could any one of you tell which is faster for performance ? my often activity only related to reply sms, connect to internet through wifi connection, making and receiving a call.
1. Which is better for faster performance WM6.1 build 21028 or 21048?
2. When i'm using WM 5.0 there is Midlet Manager for running Java application (opera mini, ebuddy, bolt, etc) in Windows Mobile. Is there any such midlet manager in WM 6?
once again thanks for all senior member that shared anything about Uni.

[Tomal v8.9] WM6.1 - Build 21048.1.6.3

fine the best ROM is like you try to find a girl friend. a sexy one for me maybe not sexy enought for you
you should try and play for knowing the best one for your dailly use.
for me, i totaly agree with al_3sjad, Tomal v8.9 is great!
if you want to play with 6.5, maybe you should try luca15thebig WM6.5 WWE v2.0.5 (regular/vanilla), right now i used "regular" and everything running as it should be.
salam MERDEKA!

I do agree with Indrastrid, Tomal 8.9 (8.91& 8.71)is one of the Best Roms, i moved to luca15thebig and i am using the light version for more than a month and it is fast. However i left Tomal rom just becuase it didnt support my multilanguage keyboard. i would recomend you try both and decide what is better for you.

There is no such as "best" ROM
I can recommend Tomal ROM´s as the more stable and the best for me, but the best way is to test several till you get to your best, that not necessary has to be my best...
Good luck and welcome to forums: OP

Thanks for your reply. I already installed v8.9 and this such a great ROM for me, heheheh
Btw, as my 2nd question, where i can find midlet manager for Winmo 6.0?
Thanks
Salam Merdeka for Indra

v1.4.9 Vanilla Final Edition (20764) by luca16thebig
still the best for me

Opera 10 with Multitouch

Is there a Opera 10 version for the Leo with Multitouch?

No, there is not.

install Zoomer app

Zoomer is an okay workaround but it doesn't refocus the pages when zoomed in so things look pixelated when you use it. I'm hoping Opera releases a multi-touch version soon.

You can hope, but Windows Phone 7 is coming and support for Windows Mobile is almost dead now.

Despite the fact that WP7 is months away, WM6 will still be supported as long as people have WM6 phones and will buy software for them. WP7 is not the successor to WM6 - they're different platforms.
Back to the OP.

Opera 10 was not made for the HD2, whereas Opera 9.7 was. Hence the lack of multi-touch.

I saw this and was playing around with the Opera 10 Beta that NRG cooks into his Energy ROMs. This Opera actually allows for multi-touch. I am able to pinch-to-zoom in slightly when in far out zoom, and again a little more when in full in zoom.
Not sure which build of beta he is cooking into his ROMs as the 'About Opera' only states that its 10 beta. But yes, this Opera allows for a slight bit of pinch-to-zoom.
*Edit* After some thought, this just maybe something enabled in BsB Tweaks...

Skyfire 2.0 for Windows Mobile ?

Hi,
does anyone know when will be released new version 2.0 of Skyfire for Windows mobile ? I don't know why they didn't release new version also for Windows mobile or Symbian . I miss in version 1.5, TABS, touch FLASH PLAYER for playing video and faster page rendering [ faster rendering of "gray squares" ] and all this things have version for Android .
Thanks.

I need a wm version too. I've seen the video demonstration on an android device -> waaaouuuu
any date for the wm version ?

I just wanted a browser with flash support for use on my HTC S710 WM 6 S. ..

as far as i'm aware, they stopped development for winmo right now. they were supposed to have skyfire for blackberry a year ago and they stopped the development for that too. all focus is on android atm

android = teh sux lol.. but if you think about it winphone7's are coming out soon-ish. so why dev for 6.5 when its going to be outdated sooner rather than later. im kind of worried that windowsphone7 doesnt have any backwards compatability with 6.5 but then again it might not matter.

R.I.P.
Support for WM (and Nokia) pulled without (much) notice. Skyfire for Windows Mobile is dead. Only currently-supported platforms are iOS and Android. Some quote I found from Googling says they couldn't figure out a way to successfully monetize the WM user base so we're cut out. Bastards.
