I've just put out a 0.2 release of the Wing Linux project. This project is geared towards the development of Linux and Android on the T-Mobile Wing, HTC Herald, and HTC Atlas series of phones.
The project is being hosted on Sourceforge at:

Thanks to all who have helped in debugging, testing, and developing this release!

is there any development for newer os (>5.2.318) for universal? i saw @hermes forum, they already have 5.2.1236.
Greetings.
Due to the company I work for having MADE Platform Builder for Windows Mobile, I have access to Platform Builder for Windows Mobile, at least for the duration of my contract. Is there any advantage to using that vs. the various ROM kitchens (Pandora's Box, Faria's, etc.)? Can I at least build an OS ROM through Platform Builder, or do I need a BSP for the HTC Wizard?
I am not sure ... Plattform Builder is the Core "Windows CE" you need Drivers and a lot off knowlage to Build a Rom. Rom Cooking Kitchen are based on working Releases. Its easyer to change some things but with a complet Plattform Builder ... you can make more. Have every time the newest release etc ...
Hi,
i have a little question.
Which and how many versions of OS exist and which are the differences.
The OS version 5.2.318 is come before or after the 5.2.1413?.
Thanks for your answers.
Good question and should be pinned (if i didn't miss it when i joined)
From what i gather 5.2.1413 is a newer build but had more bugs that these developers in some threads fixed for there roms.
Yep 1413 is a newer build and it also came with the new 2007 version of Office Mobile.
The OS build question has an excellent answer in the second post of this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=316447
Okay I just updated my AT&T TIlt witht he Windows 6.1 ROM from the site, but now I get a GPRS error all the time now and I need the ROM for how it ships but on HTC I can not download it.
Welcome to XDA! Please take a moment to review the rules with regards to searching before creating a new thread.
That being said, here's your answer:
The Kaiser Wiki contains a section dedicated to original shipped ROMs.
maybe your radio version is not compatible with Windows 6.1 rom.....
what exactly are development branches? I read that "development branches" are device specific. are they just build numbers where support for a specific device was introduced? I noticed that both "build numbers" (starting with wm 6 I think) and "development branches" have 5 chars. do development branches refer to just the os part of a rom or the entire rom? if so does each manufacturer add specific files (I'm thinking this explains the 'SYS' dir when dumping a ROM) like drivers and such?
is there a thread listing WM 6.1 build numbers - all I can find is WM 6.5.3 build numbers (can anyone at least offer a hint regarding what build no. does WM 6.1 end and 6.5 start?)
does the XIP part of a rom have anything to do with the development branches? is it different for each development branch?
I noticed the XIP is extracted from the FAT region of the OS and after *fast* reading some topics on Win CE on msdn I take it it contains core os files for the WM os (kernel and core dll's etc) - is this right?
I also noticed a lot of fuss about the XIP in the cooking/kitchen forums; seems one may end up with an unbootable device if an improper XIP is added to a custom rom - can anyone explain?
I'd also appreciate if someone could explain what the following parts of the OS section of a dumped rom are responsible for:
fatheader.bin
fatimg.bin
imgfs.bin
minios.bin
thanks.
