Hello! I have an O2 XDA II Mini phone which originally came with Windows Mobile 2003 OS, and the specs are 64 MB RAM and 416 Mhz CPU. I've recently installed Windows Mobile 6.1 on it and suprisingly it works perfectly. So my question is, does my Pocket PC meet the minimum system requirements to run Windows Mobile 6.5, when knowing the fact that Windows Mobile 6.1 works fast and stable? Thanks!
hmm..as i notice there's no 6.5 for magician, for now..the latest rom to be released by Cotulla is still 6.1..but who knows he will make a 6.5 for us, or even 7
I am running WM6.5 on my Universal with 128/64 specs at 620Mhz and the major concern is available RAM, making the device just barely usable, therefore I would think the 64/64 Magician specs would hinder any 6.5 before we even begin to consider it. The way it is I consider it a bloody blessing to run 6.1. Cotulla is my hero.
I hope WM 6.5 will be release in the HTC Magician ) If it ok !! This will be the good news for us All of my HTC magician User . ( Sry !! My English isn't well ) ) I'm Chinese .
Yea i find it a push to even run 6.1. i have had to can opera and use iris browser. I doubt 6.5 will be much different to 6.1 but i will take updates to flesh out the very few bugs.
when it comes to updating the magician, better not to leap before you can walk
people,feel satisfied plz,Cotulla have no plan for WM6.5,there is no driver from offical,so Cotulla wrote it,he is only one person,he is not god,he have to work,to eat,to sleep.
I think the WM6.5 does not use the convenient WM6.1, but 6.5 to 6.1, however beautiful, I am Chinese too ~嘿嘿
Im fine with 6.1 ROM...
Guys check this out.. Somebody released a 6.5 for JAMA
Let's us hope and wait.. maybe some ROM builder will cook for magician also..

hi Nikolov, could you advice me how did you upgrade your O2 mini? I wanted to do the same to mine. Thanks
^^ check out cotulla's 6.1 rom WWE 04 is the latest for 64mb devices
Even if they release WM6.5 for magician I still would retain 6.1 from Cotulla. It would be stretching the specss of the Magician way beyond it was meant to be. I have a Himalaya which I was able to upgrade to 6.5 and although it worked fine, it used up too much memory that only have a few available afterwards. Besides, why do you want the 6.5 for anyway?
Can't wait WM6.5 ROM for my HTC Magician 64MB, I'm wondering when it came out release by Cotulla?
hope soon
if we got rid of intensive today customisers 6.5 might be usable, I hope soon, if only for testing, too cotulla.

After you installed Windows Mobile 6.1 on it... Do you still have the ALBUM for Pocket PC Version 2.51 (Build 18676) originally in the device with Windows Mobile 2003 OS ???

I have xv6700 and wanted to know what was the best 6.1 rooms for this phone that didnt have any issues.
depending on your bootloader give my 6.1 rom a try ive had no issues with it

which bootloader is your Apache?
which ever is the best one for my xv6700 but i do need to back up my wm 5 thats already on here... what software is best for backing everything up
bump.... still need a 6.1 rom that works good with verizon 6700
I think it's wm 6.1 21054.

i ask for 6.1 not 6.5.... its prob gonna make my phone real slow anyways
he cooks 6.1 roms too but his 6.5 roms are really nice not slow at all and the titanium interface is great for this phone where its low on memory and would have trouble running m2d or spb mobile shell 3

i agree, im using his 6.5 and its much better then 6.1 and forget M2D, now that's a real memorry killer, it was designed for the newer phones that have 3 times as much as the good old ppc 6700
I dont get it. I upgraded my treo 750 to windows moible 6.1 or at least that is what it says on the screen. But it looks nothing like this. My windows mobile 6.1 looks like windows 5.0.
Where did i go wrong? It looks nothing like this.

That version of Windows Mobile 6.1 is the standard version for Smartphones (what Microsoft calls non-touchscreen phones). You have a touch screen phone and thus it gets the professional version of 6.1. Unfortunately the professional version of 6.1 didn't get many UI changes. 6.5 however did. Hope this helps.

Thanks!
That makes sense. Kind of stupid I think might as well install the non touch screen version. It looks better.
The 6.5 is not the official wm. I heard its not stable..
I'm not that advance in this installing thing. I dont want to mess it up.
Thanks again for the helpful information.
this looks good. i dont get it.

Why isn't there a ROM cooked for TREO? Does the ROM for the Wing work on the TREO?

there are a lot of aplications that change the looks of your windows mobile 6.1, those are what most people call skins, just like the one's you use in windows xp or vista...
the windows mobile cooked roms are normaly reduced to it's basics so they run faster and stay more stable, and of course give you more available memory.
if you realy want your treo to look all "fancy" you can google for it, or look deeply in this forum, you will find a lot of cool skins and aplications for your pda.
hope that this info is usefull to you and if you need any help with anything please send a PM.

my mistake ;p
in another thread titled "How to Flash Treo Pro," a poster wrote,
"Sprint has an official CDMA 6.5 ROM for the Palm Treo Pro, only if there was a GSM 6.5 ROM that was stable for the Palm Treo Pro.
I won't upgrade my Palm Treo Pro to 6.5 because I can see so many issues on the forum's and I cannot find a stock english 6.1 GSM ROM.
On the other hand, the O2 Atom was very easy to upgrade, and very stable."
Can someone verify this and, if so, show me how to obtain it?
Thanks,
quicknight

well that was me that made the statement, I hardspl my Treo Pro and tried all the 6.5 roms, there is really no benefit going to 6.5, slower and has annoying bugs... the only rom I did like was Heechee's Naked, but... all these roms have bugs with MarketPlace and Windows Live which I use.. so I reverted back to the stock 6.1 rom, and Marketplace and latest Windows Live works perfectly...
On the other hand, the O2 Atom Life made a huge difference in upgrading to 6.5, faster response, better battery life.. no bugs.. better UI experience...
On the Treo Pro it aint worth it... don't bother until there is a stable rom out...

thanks for the reply. I don't really use Marketplace or windows live (bing?) so that wouldn't really bother me. So, then, is the O2 Atom Life the "official Sprint ROM?"

No, both my windows mobile phones are GSM, the O2 Atom is not official rom, the last official rom for the O2 Atom Life was WM6.
The O2 Atom Life uses a rom created by bajok he is on the forums here...
Look at my signature..
Hi to all of you Xda-developers.
got a bunch of wm smartphones, and i am very interesting in upgrading my samsung sgh-i607 "blackjack"
wich runs windows mobile 6 standard to windows mobile 6.1 profesional or better yet to windows mobile 6.5.
i though that it was impossible, but i downloaded an sussefully installed in my htc 2125 a 6.1 pro rom.
im not an expert, but i can do the flashing and that stuff.
is it possible? thanks
i got this old phone because my iphone was stolen. windows 6.1 is on it right now. this is the at&t version of the phone. Please be aware that i know nothing about roms/phone hacks/etc...
i would like to upgrade this phone to windows 6.5 (or 7 if it can do it)...
thank you for your help.
also, what software do i use to hook the phone to the pc (windows 7 64-bit)
um, anybody! HEY THERE!
To connect the device to Windows 7 you will need Window Mobile Device Centre.

There is a link for 32 and 64 bit versions.
For upgrading the ROM start here.

Mobile 7 is probably impossible.
Is the upgrade form 6.1 to 6.5 worth all the hassle?
well, let me ask you: is winmo 6.5 way better than 6.1?
Only if you really need the finger flicking Sense iPhone style user interface. That's all it seems to offer over 6.1
First off unlocking the phone and upgrading the stock Rom is probably the best thing you can do to improve performance .
I did this and am running basically a stock Rom with all the garbage-ware removed, it is more stable and faster . See my sig for the Rom..

6.1 and 6.5 , both have there advantages , it all depends on what you like..
