Yup, it isn't a WinMo subject, but, given that a lot of people want to install OS X on their desktop (regardless of when they want to develop for the iPhone or not), they will surely welcome my tutorial, which is way better and much more up-to-date than anything else out there.

there is another whole forum dedicated just to putting os x on ur normal everyday pc. believe its in the link, insanelymac? its been out there since 2005 when it debuted and i ran it on my pentium 4 lol.

Yeah, there surely is - if you read my guide, you'll see I've linked to a lot of insanelymac threads. It's just I wanted to announce the existence of my guide on also the WinMo boards I'm a regular at - after all, it's the first step-by-step guide to for example setting up the latest and greatest distros, hacks and kernels on the t4x-series Thinkpads ever written.

PPC / WinMo Preferences

Guys, I've been wondering for quite some time if there is a PPC out there that "completely satisfies" the needs of various users. Therefore, if it isn't too much trouble, would you mind listing:
1) Key features you would like in a PPC
2) Any PPCs currently in the market (or in the soon-to-be market, i.e. Touch Pro 2) that fit the bill?
**Note: I don't necessarilly want you to limit yourself to WinMo phones; Symbian, BlackBerry, Android, Palm, and even Apple (yes I know...) phones are OK.
For example, I own a Touch Pro and would prefer:
- Larger screen
- Capacitive screen
- More responsiveness (most likely due to a faster processor)
- Thinner (to complement the larger screen to make it easier to type)
Anyways, thanks for taking a look and especially if you contribute.
Really, no one is willing to help my research?
So far, I've only had one Voter. Though appreciated, I'm afraid it's simply not enough.
C'mon guys, what have you got to lose? You'll be expressing your opinion on a matter which I'm sure is on most people's minds here at the forum as well as helping out a fellow member.
Maybe this thread was simply overlooked. Therefore, I feel a BUMP is in order.
Two votes now!
you need a catagory 'non of the above' for us WM fans!
btw, there are so many polls around here the last year...maybe some info in them for your research.

Windows Mobile is a given considering the forum. If I had that option, nearly 100% of the votes would be WinMo. I just wanted to know what alternatives you guys like AND WHY <= still need info.
Could you direct me to any "current" polls that may be related to this thread?
I first started with the Palm505...got hooked. Then switched to windows mobile 2003- it sucked. Then got me a Tungsten TX-it was better...but then found my dream pda...Tungsten C... there is where I found great apps and used it everyday! Now, I have the HTC Mogul running windows mobile 6.1.... love it.... but once in a while I find myself missing some of Palm's apps... not available on WM6.
I bought my wife a treo 750p... she catches me once in a while admiring the buttons and apps...
BB Storm FTW!!!!

So the main reason you like your PPCs is the Apps, right?

Camera Software

Hi. I bought an unbranded phone running on WM 6.0. I have been searching for an alternate camera software. I found coolcamera but unfortunately it does not work. Do you know of any other software I might use because the default one it has in it is not so good and it does not let you use the camera in full screen.
Thanks

You could look into this althoug I'm not sure how much it will help. What phone is it?
Hi. The mobile is an Iphone clone called Miphone or M88. I found many threads like the one you posted but they are only people wanting to build an application. The only application I found is CoolCamera but unfortunately it does not work on my mobile.
any other suggestions are welcome please...

Firstly, this is an HTC forum for HTC phones only, so seekoing help here will get you limited answers. That being said, is it running an iPhone OS from Apple ? ( which I doubt because Apple hasn't sued them yet ) or is it an iPhone clone running Windows Mobile or a custom OS ?

>> PETITION << Windows Phone 6.5 for HTC Touch Diamond/Pro/HD

This petition i directed to HTC, Microsoft and all wireless carriers who sell these devices:
We want Windows Phone 6.5 for our HTC Touch Diamond/Pro/HD!
Sign Petition here
Help me so I can help you.
We already have windows 6.5 on our devices. Well, you can if you want it. Mine will have it on it as soon as I get my phone (just ordered it today).

There are people like me preferred original rom which is much more stable and hussle free.
I voted.. i want wm6.5 with TF2.5.
Me tooo
. i want wm6.5 with TF2.5.
When was the last time an online petition worked? Just use a cooked clean ROM.
This is not gona happen.
Because of the fact that IF Microsoft releases wm6.5 for a phone it MUST have the windows button (Thats a button with the windows logo on it)on it.
Same thing if microsoft agrees a a keyboard to be a windows keyboard, u need the windows button (the one left to the ALT button)
So the TP has a Home Button (Symbol like) and all new phones and the ones who had an upgrade had the windows instead of the home button.
So its a thing between the hardware manufacture and microsoft. If u want wm6.5 for ur device make shure that the button is there.
No windows logo on the button no wm6.5 or higher, its that simple.
new dev is stopped on older devices. if you really want it, go do it yourself. theres nothing better about an official rom, they are slower and full of crap. especially branded ones.
another senseless "i want, i want, i want.." thread..
there are hope
http://msmobiles.com/news.php/8744.html
And if you can't wait until then...
EnergyROM Akeo (WM 6.5 with TF3D 2.5) for Touch Pro
Seriously, though: does ANYONE know of ANY online petition that has EVER worked? I strongly doubt it.
This is a complete waste of time and effort. There are already ways to get WM 6.5 on our devices, and that's the best direction to channel time and effort.

yes but people like me aren't that smart as you guys, i'm new like many other people and i can't find quickly what i want to find, like how to upgrade it, all i find is complexed words etc!
there's a good reason why we also have tutorial threads in their respective forums. If you want to upgrade your rom, then you go to the ROM development subforum, read the stickies and if you have any basic questions, google it OR if google doesn't strike, ask on the forums. Plenty of people willing to help.
The fuze is my first winmo phone and I learned it by lurking the forums. I read, searched, tested, and played with the phone until I learned what I need to learn. XDA and fuzemobility are massive treasure chests of information if you're willing to search (logically). Go to the right place and search and you'll find all the info you need. otherwise there are plenty of members out here that are willing to help.

Should I got HTC Windows Mobile or Android?

I am waiting for the Sony Xperia X10 to come out, but was wondering, what is the best Windows Mobile device coming out that will be able to run windows mobile 7?
I was waiting for the HTC HD2 , but understand it is not able to use 3g on At&t's network.
I like the Sony and not sure what the pro's of having windows mobile would be. Looking for a upcoming windows mobile device to contend with the Xperia.
Welcome to forums
Wll I would choose an HTC device because the great support of this site.
As for the new models, have a look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=595648
I´m not sure about which one will be able to run WM7
I would stay with WM as Android is to young and unmature OS for now, I´m sure in the near future will be great.
Just my opinion
Good luck,
That being said, what is going to be the best WM device say through Feb 2010?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=599210
Thanks that helps!
Anything new coming out 1st Q of 2010 worth mention?
Did you even opened the link I posted on 2nd post?

Is my English so bad?

android & Microsoft & vice versa

I was wondering (sorry for sounding stupid); if you can put android into a microsoft phone, can you put microsoft into a Dell Mini 5?
I've been trying to find some site to answer this but I think the best place to answer this is here.
Thanks
AFAIK windows mobile isn't open source. So the kernel code is not available.
Android however is open source so you can download its code to port it to other devices.
I appreciate your answer. While patiently waiting for the HD2, this Dell Mini 5 is now being shown, now I'm a Windows man (?) & the Dell being Android which is kinda new, I use Google search. With this in mind am I already familiar with Android???
I hope you understand my dilemma, simply put am I already using Android?
I don't like Bing I use Google search.
Lastly am I waiting for a Windows phone or should I be getting the Android (Dell Mini 5)???
(Lots of questions but again Thanks).
This is driving me crazy!

I hope I understand your question. Android is a very user-friendly OS, so it's not important if you're familiar with it.
If you buy an HD2, there will be android available for it in future and maybe also windows phone 7 series.
I hope you understand my dilemma, simply put am I already using Android?

No problem, you're welcome.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
Thank you, you did understood my questions.
I've been following the 'Leo" for a very long time but since then new apparatuses have arrived & all this talk with Android, I just wanted to make sure that by the time the HD2 gets here it would still be proper to buy.
You have calmed my nerves & waiting for the HD2 is "still" at the top of my list. Its been awhile but good things come to those who wait.
Again Thank you
I figure here is the best place to say this, Android is lagging in so many ways I'd be a fool to go there. The Dell Mini 5 looks good but the Android really is lacking. I truely hope Windows can get themselves into the cloud as quick as possible. Regretfully the HD2 isn't allowed there (WIN7) & to wonder how long before another phone would be developed with regards to the mighty HD2 makes me accept the HD2 & use it for the lenght of time until the WIN7 becomes usable, concidering this is a new decade with new ideas.
I don't think I will have any regrets doing this.
Thanks.
Hope this makes sense to you.
