IPhone Clone(WM6)

So yeah I got a IPhone clone that has WM6 and it's all running smoothly enough.
I've got a couple of issues that have lead me to think about flashing the ROM.
First off the processor is apparently always at 100% cpu even though most of the apps run fine and anytime I try to overclock the OMAP850 in it it'll just white the screen out.
So I figured maybe the ROM was a bit dodge and apparently so.
I got GEN_WM6_...
and according to the rom update utility my current ce image version is
Ôج$Øج$
Basically gibberish, when I try to run the update it complains that it can't connect to the phone.
I'm running Vista so that may have something to do with it as well. Also I don't know how to get the phone into bootloader mode as it doesn't have any front buttons just 2 for volume on the left and 2 on the right for camera and some unknown function.
Oh yeah, the other question, should I be able to flash any ROM image on to it as long as it's WM6? I'm not using Verizon, I'm using Optus in Australia.
Can anyone help me with this weird and well most probably extremely difficult problem as the phone isn't really mainstream.

You can't just get flash a rom for one phone another. It is really hard to determine which base rom is it because there are so many iPhone clones with WinMo.
Many have no technical support whatsoever, meaning there won't be an update from the clone's manufacture.

Forgive me for correcting you we3zy but I'm sure you mean you CANNOT use any roms other than your phone manufacturers version.

Finding out who the manafacturer is, is going to be a challenge for sure
I guess my main issue is that whenever I try to change the clock speed on it(it has a OMAP 850) the screen goes white and I have to do a soft reset to get it to work properly.

Hey which iphone clones are running wm6?

I believe there's a zzzPhone. Google it. Its looks very cheap however.

I just looked at the zzzPhone, sounds like not a bad device but it doesn't look anything like an iphone.

Sorry, thinking of the wrong thing. Here's the link

Well that makes it easy, where did you get it from?

I got it from specialphones.eu
Here is the link http://www.specialphones.eu/en/store/10175

aaaaahahaha you bought one really??!
oh man, how much did you pay in us dollars?

I would love one of these clones running windows mobile but not at the price on that site. The ones not running wm6 are around $150 on ebay. Anyone know a cheaper place that has the wm6 iphone clone?

I may have found the real name for the phone and a slightly cheaper price.

@Critical_Impact Would love to know how this phone compairs to say a Wizard or Hermes? does it do everything it says correctly? i.e. dims backlight ect I ask only my girlfriend wants a iphone which I refuse to buy as its very expensive however I don't think £170 is a lot especially if a ok windows pocket pc

Wow, guess the iPhone just lost its advantage: its design. Now if they only could do the same with the nokia.....
These people can design the hell out of a handset but they run a crappy OS.

Here are a lot of *cough* *cough* clone *cough* phones running wm
http://www.eemobi.cn/Mobile/Search.aspx?CustomCategoryId=44
Including the touch
And even more of those phone's with a dodgy chinese OS
http://www.eemobi.cn/
Nice to know that site if you ever want a reserve phone. (now the only thing is to figure out how to flash them with a rom in my language )

Gotta hand it to the Chinese. I would buy one of those iPhone-like handsets if they ran a WWE ROM.

Help me Identify this Rom Thanks

Looks like Abusalza's Ultimate X2 6.5 series, don't know what version, running M2D instead of Titanium, with an iPhone M2D theme. I forget tyhe name of the theme. I could find it if it is important.

This guy is spotty with his communication. He sells alot of phones on ebay. I purchased my current phone from him.
Not sure what ROM it is, but I know that he likes to use iFONZ program on his phones. What version I could not say.

What I'd be concerned with is the fact that his network is showing as Cingular. I believe AT&T converted all the Cingular tower call signs over more than a year ago..... I hate buying off eBay, never know if you're getting what is pictured.

Had to laugh got the wrong weather files for the HTCHomeSettings.xml it's shifted to right

Yea Cingular doesnt make sense. The software is just M2D with iphone theme. I know I used to use it.
OS itself looks like PDACorner, but I dont think so. Icons do look like his. I think the seller customized this ROM to his taste.

I think PDA the about is PDA logo, someone who doesn't know how to click do not change weather in M2DC or correct it don't think would be cooking there own ROM and he's well fumbley when showing the video....

Could be PDA Corner V19, wasn't that reza's 6.5/6.1 hybrid rom.
In any case , from reading the thread and such, it all screams..." stay away "

congrats stylez

No need to worry about the phone. It seems some sim cards still do this.
My old, non 3G labeled Cingular card showed ATT on every phone I put it in after the conversion, But A newer ATT 3g sim card from my work provided phone always showed Cingular instead of ATT until I got a new one a couple of weeks ago.

[ROM][5-April] Sprint - HTC Arrive - Tango Port - Cooked Rom

This is basically a stock mango shipped rom with tango(7.10.8773.98) features added.
Not unlocked or customized in any way.
English, Sprint only rom.
You must have an unlocked bootloader to load this rom.
This will not overwrite your HSPL.
I plan on releasing a custom version, but this version will let you test the new features.
Warning: I am unsure what the Zune updatablilty will be with this version, so make sure you have a backup plan.
Warning: Flashing this rom is risky and may void your warranty, I am not responsible for any damage using this rom may cause.

If this is for the HTC Arrive nice.If you want a idea of what you should put look at the 7 pro roms so you can get a idea(like option to map what the search button does etc...)

yeah it's for the arrive... i have a working port but it's from someone else's rom and I'd like to do my own. i have some ideas but wanted to get a feel for everyone's wants

If you can somehow find a way to kill the 160 character limit in SMS that would be very nice. I have spent hours searching through registry edits looking for the solution but haven't found it yet. That and have it come loaded with Bazaar please!

The trophy doesn't have this problem and its a cdma wp7 device.
I admit thats the biggest bs with this phone now.

You mean you can type more than 160 chars and it still sends?

Exactly that. HTC Arrive is the only WP7 phone that cannot go past the 160 character limit in SMS. But you can type up to 1000 characters in MMS I believe. Which some people do as a crude way of fixing it. But nonetheless it'd be great if you could figure out how to get rid of that 160 character limit

Full landscape support... Good luck.

Nice work!
Nice to see some development in the sprint arrive section!
Is there a nice backup app yet for unlocked wp7 devices that everyone is using?

Any news on an unlocked ROM sometime in the near future?

Nice.You plan on adding anything else in the unlocked version?

im thinking a stock tango with the unlock, and then a loaded version with all the bells n whistles

EDIT: Flashing the rom. will update with any bugs as I find them

I'm assuming since this is a straight "stock" Tango port that tethering is not enabled?

Thanks. I'll have to hold out for when it is. I can't afford to flash and lose that. lol

Yep, the only thing I need in a custom Arrive rom is Unlock and Tethering, I believe anything else is just fluff that may in a way break the rom in one way or another. I can do any of the Reg Tweeks I want myself. (BT Audio for Video and max quality mainly).
Unlike roms of the old Windows Mobile days, the stock OS works great out of the box, so messing with things outside of the device (especially one as unique as the CDMA devices now) is not a good idea IMO until things become more standard and tested. Sadly with such little interest in CDMA devices as of yet, we don't have a lot of experience to go off of yet.
(The WiFi issue with the DFT rom is annoying but bypassable. WiFi On, Cellular Data off, Reverse when needed.)

Thanks for all of your hard work in creating this ROM! I was able to use it as a base for my first attempt at cooking my own WP7 ROMs. I got Internet Sharing and full unlock enabled, but the Sprint Zone app and the Marketplace both give me errors about not being able to connect and that apps cannot be installed for my carrier. Have you had any better luck adding features to yours?

I agree.
Tethering is the mot important thing. This HTS T7575/Arrive is the first phone I've owned in 12 years (since I've started owning phones) that could not tether. It's sad. Sprint blames HTC. HTC blames Sprint. I''s actually Sprint, but c'mon. . . I digress.
My favorite ROM of the Windows Mobile days was this on http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/cdma-tp-d...om-6-5-x-23563-23138-21914-kitchen-clean.html

[Q] how to quickly check phone is fully functional ?

Hi there, how can u quickly check functionality of used phone
(gnex,ns etc.), i mean gps ,wifi, screen(i know about"pixel screen" app.),
signal strength etc.
I'm asking about checking software not hardware.
Maybe someone has experience in buying second hand phones, so please share your
experience/knowledge..
Thanks in advance

Only buy a used phone that can be rooted so U can change the software and other important phone qualities urself.
Vs Nexus S 4G

To test your device you need to use it in a daily use...
:cyclops:

Yeah i know it ;-)
But I'm asking abut;
For example if i would like to buy a used Gnex or Ns, how can i check quickly (is there a way?) Software/hardware to be sure I'm buying fully functional phone
I mean mostly things like gps, data connection drops, wifi etc.
If some of u bought a second hand phone (gnex ,ns),
Please share ur experience.
Thanks in advance ;-)

The only to know is to either get some sort of guarantee (if you're buying online) or to test it yourself if you're buying in person. If they won't let you test it then there's probably something they're trying to hide.

are you asking is there an app that does all that for you?
...no
stand there and test it
if the seller doesnt want to wait
you dont want that phone
you cant test data speed etc. without a connection to
your provider
if you have GSM service put your sim in it.
no matter what used CDMA equipment is always
a leap of faith to some degree unless the seller
will let you put it on your account
i'v bought 3 used
only knowing they would power up
and checking the ESN's before purchase
havnt got burned...
...yet
fwiw

Android for all Windows Phones

Hi!
Now that windows phone is officially dead, would anyone be willing to make an Android ROM that would work on the majority of windows phones out there?
I saw someone making a version for Lumia 5xx, and I am wondering if we could generalize this to more windows phone models...
Thanks!

Actualy I try port android to lumia 550. Its my first time. Maybee only destroy phone.

I landed here, after googling the same thing .... it's a real sin to throw away this phone now. It's useless without a proper OS and apps.

It's a fixer upper and a lot of things like maps don't work as well as alternatives but check out WUT repo for apps and 3rd party clients
