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!!!

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!!!!

HTC Touch Cruise with XDA-developers ROM

Hello all,
I'm totally new to this so please be a little patient with me.
Last week I bought a second hand HTC Touch Cruise. After playing a while and learning hoe to use I noticed some discrepancies between the software and the manual.
In ROM settings I found:
Released at XDA-developers.com
Polaris (Build 0.60)
(c)2007 bepe @ Polaris Project
Thanks to: maimach, ...
Edition: Full
ROM date: 17.03.2008
Build time: 15:11:29
My questions:
1. So this is not an original Windows Mobile 6.1?
2. Should I upgrade this, if yes: how?
3. I'm missing the Windows Live Messenger
4. I totally do not like the Opera Browser, but this seams fixed and automatically being used
5. Windows Update is gone; do I miss something there
6. Is it possible to go back to the original Windows? And what would I miss with that?
Thanks for your patience, and hopefully someone can guide me through this.
Greetings,

Yes, you have a custom version of Windows Mobile installed on your device. HTC has not yet released a Windows Mobile 6.1 ROM for the Touch Cruise yet. From factory, they all come with Windows Mobile 6.0 installed. The factory version has Pocket IE setup as the default browser, along with Opera 8.65 installed. Also, the factory version does not have threaded SMS and zooming in IE, since those are features of WM6.1, not WM6.0. If I were in your shoes, I'd keep the Bepe ROM just a little while longer as the official HTC WM6.1 release should (fingers crossed) be here any day now. I'd upgrade to that, instead of going back the the official WM6.0 ROM at this point only to upgrade to the official ROM when its released shortly.
Also, you might want to go to Opera.com and download the Opera Mobile 9.5 Beta. Its a much improved browser akin to the iPhone Safari experience.
Hello,
Thanks for your advice.
Yes, I will wait.
I installed the Opera 9.5beta, but I still get the problem of extreme miniaturized webpages, so I will stick to IE for now.
What about Live Messenger? I cannot get int from the Microsoft site. Is it available here?
Thanks, Arnie
Hi -- the legwork for all your questions has already been completed -- try out the forum search feature, it works very well.

Do some browsing around these forums and you'll discover a lot. A search for Live messenger cab will reveal some download links. Double tapping on the screen will zoom in when using Opera Mobile 9.5. Double tapping again will zoom you back out.

1) You would have to load up a 6.1 ROM then restore your backup. It is recommended that you NOT restore your back up on a 6.5 ROM.
2) I don't use TomTom, but it should work just as it did with WM6.1. I've read where people say it works fine.
3) This is everyone's own opinion. I'm running RRE. Da_G just released an updated base ROM, which is great if you like bare bones. Shep's is also good from what I hear.
4) Not sure about that, I've never used Pocket Informant.

Thanks for the time taken to input into my thread
I do like bare bones, so Da_G might be the way forward for me.
1.What is it like on battery life?
2. Do you get the normal black theme, as opposed to fancy stuff?
3. How have you found its stability?
Many thanks again.

Personally Shep's rom is the best. I have found the battery life to be nothing short of exceptional!
Frequently arrive home after 11 hours of use with 85%+ left. Emails polling every 15 mins, internet usage and text messaging useage and frequent phone calls.

What Radio are you using with that m8?
I also like Da G's ROM, it's minimal and really good on battery life. Also, I'm not sure if it's the ROM or 6.5, but my GPS seems to be much more responsive. Previously I was using an AT&T test ROM with Rhodium Manila and it wasn't nearly as nice... the UI takes a li'l bit to get used to and it doesn't offer as much as TF3D, but it's incredibly stable.
as for Pocket informant it appears that WM6.5 has changed a few things. and most 3rd party cal. are having issues. I tried SBSH Calendar Touch and PI. PI crashed randomly and SBSH did not display recurring appointments. Hopefully those apps will fix it as soon as MS releases the documentation on WM6.5. Check out there forums and search a little if you want ot find out more.
As for ROM play and test them... I am using PROvens because I liked the way Rhodium was already installed and titanium was removed. but I am sure others have done the same.
Have a great day.
SoBBie
I'm using Radio 1.02.25.10
Really I can't speak highly enough of Shep's work!

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
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=513907
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

Easiest way to migrate from 6.1 to 6.5?

Hello,
i plan to Update my Jade from 6.1 to 6.5. But what is the fastest and easiest method to "copy" my data to the new Version.
From 6.0 to 6.1 i used PIM Backup. I think this wont work with this huge Version jump.
My thought was easily to use MyPhone. How does this work with MyPhone, have i only tell my new Version the Account Informations and it aksks me if i would Download the Data from the Account?
I searched the Forum for Topics like this but i didnt found them!
Thank you,
Greetz
Heimchen
No one who has experience with that?
I upgraded and put all my contacts and appointments back with PIM backup, no problems!
Awesome This should be very easy. I hope ill find some Time to Flash my Touch 3G.
Thank You so far!
