Hi all I have just found my old XDA2 which has been lurking in my desk for a couple of years now with little or no use and I was wondering how I can install a later more stable OS like the newer windows etc.......I have a newer N96 which I have been using which does my phone needs but would like to make use of the XDA2 for business contacts etc and surfing the web.
Where can I download the latest windows os?
Thanks in advance

hey i need help regarding this new wifi card i bought.. does not seem to work on my XDA II.
Rom 1.72.00WWE
radio version 1.17.00
ext ROM 1.72.901
Hello
was there an update ? Because I see that the XDA II is in
the compatibility list
D you still have a problem ?
I wished to buy that card on my XDA II (upgraded WM 6.1)
Well, please search. There is a lot of posts around here about these spectec wifi cards. They work pretty well, but you have to find the right driver. The wm6 driver does not seem to work well on my device, but the 2003SE or the wm5 one (I don't remember which one, give a try...) works flawlessly (even on wm6.1)
hi,
i am having no end of problems with my Spectec 820 and my himalaya XDA 2.
I got it going when i was running the stock WM 2003, but i have since updated to WM5 and now WM6 and have not been able to get it running with any of the drivers off the website.
I have used all of the drivers (WM 2003, WM5 WM6) as suggested on this site when i have had WM5 and WM6 installed with absolutely no luck.
The only glimmer of hope was that when running the WM5 driver on WM6 it came up with wifi symbol on the top of the Today screen but the device wouldnt do anything else, i couldnt get a connection, it was if it recognised there was some kind of wifi card but nothing more, no networks, no searching not a sausage.
I am very frustrated as i really want WIFI but dont want to give up on my Himalaya as even now, running WM6 i think it is a great device.
I am contemplating buying a SPectec 821 but i am worried it will not work.....
Anybody ha ve any ideas?
hello
guess i can help you, by sending you this:
WM6.1 by Chandra Shekhar, the best i ever tested its rocks !
wifi, gps and all stuf, works, perfectly
hope, its gonna help you, a bit, enjoy!
thanks to Chandra Shekhar
Hello!
I'd like to know if this card works on MDA I.Please answer
I think it would be great for the experienced members of this board to start taking a look at the hw6515. It is after all made by HTC. There is so much crap on mine, and I wuld love to take mst of i off. So anyone who knows what they're doing...help! P.S. I think Imay have extracted the rom but when I try to open it with the rom editor the passwords won't work, and I have tried several others. p.s.s i also unlocked ipaq file store and ipaq rom using the Harrier_EXTrom.Unlock.exe found on this site, however there is next to nothing in it.
Okay I just used DumpROM and extracted all the files in my ROM, I am completely new to this so what would be the next step?
I have upgraded to HW6515 from mini too, was able to install CallerID for HW6515.
Hope this website will support HW6515 too.
Yes me too i have now got a HW6515
And is very very good
I do hope that support will be on this website
Can any of you guys post the BT Cab file here so that we can try it out on the XDA's ? Apparently, the HP6515 BT stack supports BT voice dial and is very stable with clear audio without any static.
Would be highly appreciated.
if you tell me how to getit of the device i will do it for you
as for the voice dial its very good ihave just had in a few southwing headsets and they work very well £11.99 in P & P from ebay

hi all..
First time poster long time lurker. I just got a 6515 a week or two ago, and I am wondering if it is built off the bases of the other devices. Mostly I want to see if there is a way to get the current WM2005 rom to boot ok it, does anyone have any thoughts on this?

BUZZ WE NEED U HERE!!!! Come on guys, there are people here who are willing to help. They just need directions. Can someone please help them here?
I'm thinking of getting thr 6515 but it is still very expensive at the moment. Has anyone managed to get BB Connect for it yet? Until this is available I won't buy. Plus later this year it is supposed to have WiFi and WM2005 added.
Hi all!
I have a 6515 too for test. The os seam's to be locked and I can't Add Root Cert
I try to contact HP but they have no solution for this problem. Can someone has a utility that work to unlock it ?
And is the 6515 some kind of Blueangel ?
Thx all

yeah, I used to own a PDA2K at one point in time.
I'm all about the 6500 now though!
Hi,
I am looking for a replacement for my xda ii mini (Windows 2003) which i have been using for last 3 years.
I have tried HTC TOUCH, HTC DUAL, TYTN, cruise among the various other windows 5 and windows 6 PDAs available. While the the new PDAs have whole lot of new features, the most important feature (at least for me) - Find / Search was awfully slow.
The mini that i am using now has over 10,000 contacts and few files , no third party softwares or any other tools which take memory and process time. My PDA handles the data with ease.
The same data when i used on the newer phones and tested the search feature it turned out to be very slow. A search in XDA II mini takes 2 secs and it HTCh touch 5 minutes and TYTn cruise take around 3-4 minutes. that is horribly slow.
I tried the same on older XDA II (windows 02) and it turned out to be fast.
It made me conculde that the new phones with windows 5 or 6 must be taking lot of resources, too many features that the basic functions are not paid much attention to.
Simple OS like windows 03 are faster and efficient than the newer ones
I need help -
Is it the OS that is making the difference?
Where can i find a 02 XDA with Windows 2003?
Can i buy a HTC TOUCH or DUAL and format it and install windows 03? Will it work? Can somebody help me with that?
I had tried a few third party search tools , they were not any better? Can i find some fast search tools?
Last
Can somebody help me buy new O2 XDA II mini ? I know they are not manufactured now but it seems the only replacement of my current device.
- Regards

I think the answer here is to flash a custom rom made by one of our great cooks here....
I have both HTC Tytn2 and HTC touch running custom roms and i can really notice the difference between custom and shiped roms.
Anyway this is just my 2 cents... lets wait for the gurus to reply
Cheers

Thanks Farhan and hi to all
Flashing a custom ROM ?
Does that mean that the OS will be changed ?
How and Where does one do that?
I will buy a HTC TOUCH for trying out these things that you told
Please help me proceed
Still waiting for the gururs to reply

A lot (if not all) users here have flashed cooked ROM into their devices.
All info about flashing can be found in the Wiki (albeit Device specific). Basic questions about flashing can be found here.
Everything else, can be found on the device forums.
Hi all,
I have been using o2 XDA and XDA II mini for many years , i tried almost all new phones with WM5/6 and i am very much sure that it does not serve my purpose and work.
Can I buy a new 02 / HTC touch dual or tytn and load windows 2003 on it.
I understand that i will loose warranty etc. but is it possible. pros & cons?
Can i do it ? how ?
thanks
roms are tailored 100% for a device
so if the device maker never made a 2003rom for a device
one would have to start from scratch and maybe
have to reverse engineer drivers if some were requied
and not available in a wm2003 model

if someone really wants to spend money and energy he can,but it would be better to have wm5 or 6 for some devices like magician instead an overcomed 2003 for newer ones like touch dual, pharos,cruise,diamond
and by the way people developing os are trying to make a better os every time, and in most cases they do it, so you get better memory handling, better drivers...faster device if you want it that way
WOW! Why would you want to put a server OS on your phone? lol

do you have a specific for example compatibility problem with WM5+?
I have over 10,000 client contacts on my phone , I transferred data to couple of new phones with wm5 and wm6. All is well till I try to search. When i search for a contact it takes around 5 mins on new phones with wm5 and wm6 . It takes 3-4 secs on the the XDAII and XDA mini for the same. having tried many phones and tools , i assumed that the problem should be with OS. with improved graphics and whole lot of other features which take up the active resources may be the search module does not get all that is required.
MY xda mini 2003 / xda II 2002 have less features ,less graphics so they are faster is what i have concluded from all these experiments that i have done wit new phones.
Thanks

If you compare the search tool with my kind of data, you will understand taht the new OS is not of any help to me. I agree , that there may be whole lot of new features and drivers , But search in a n integral part of the os and don't understand why that should change. and it works superb in earlier versions 3 secs V/s 5 mins to search.
Your problem is caused by a new way of working with memory in WM5+ systems. WM2003 used part of RAM as a storage medium for installed programs and also contact databases were located there. WM5+ uses internal flash instead. Data from flash doesn't disapear when you run out of battery juice. On the other hand it is a numerous times slower. However i cannot imagine the slowdown would have been so drastic. I would advise you trying the fastest possible device with lots of RAM (Samusng Omnia i900 or HTC Touch Diamond). It is possible the slowdown will be more acceptable. If it will be no success you can modify some ROM to use RamDisk as a storage medium. However, there are no new devices with WM2003 ROMs available.
That is the most convincing answer that i have got since last year when i started looking for replacement for my XDA.
After trying almost every new and latest PDAs in the market, I am sure that the new PDAs will not be any great help
BUT your statement - " Modify some ROM to use RamDisk as a storage medium." makes me hopeful.
Unfortunately, for novice like me it ends there. I don't know how modify ROMS, or any place where i can get it done. Even if i get one, i don't know how to load it. Tutorials did not help much, they were just too much technical. I may be a odd one in this developer forum, but this is only place where i think i can get the answer. I am just looking for PDA that is just equvialent to my XDA II and XDA mini
Many Thanks for your response
Hey all,
I just bought a Dell Axim x51, and I was wondering what I can do with it (aside from pranking people using the IRda port and their TV, and as a geocaching GPS). Any suggestions? Also, what WinMo mods are compatible with it if it's running WinMo 6.1+Titanium?
This is an extremely general question. You can pretty much do anything you want with it as long as it fits WM6.1. You can also search the net for a WM6.5 ROM for it and get it running. You should go to the WM development section and search for software and themes for WM6.1..
It's an endless world of choices. Maybe if you gave a little more detail i'd be able to help you.
Umm, anything PDA or Axim-specific?
