Beeing a VOX owner i`m wondering...
Supported XDA Devices for this new OS. Any guesses?
What are the implications of this? What new software will arise of this orwill this merely be greater support to crippled WM6 devices (smartphones) as opposed to their more network friendly PPC counterparts?
LEMME KNOW!
windows mobile is based on win CE
the current wm6 is based on ce5.2
the upcomming wm7 will be based on ce6 or maybe the new ce6 r2
ce itself could never run on a windows mobile device as it's just the core
Hi all - I have an unlocked Treo 750 which is running WM 6. Am loving the device so far - runs circles around my old BB Curve except for one BIG gripe...
Given that MS and Palm are marketing the handset as a "business handset", its pretty darn surprising to me that there is no "official" version of BBC (Blackberry Connect) on it....
Am I missing something out or is there an "unofficial" or cracked/ hacked version that will allow me to send/ receive emails via BBC on this device? If there is nothing available yet, any timelines re: when we can expect a BBC update for the Treo 750s on WM 6?
Also if I downgrade to WM 5, which versions of BBC have proven to run smoothly on it?
Thanks very much in advance for helping me out folks - much appreciated!
Upon my fellow blogger Tim Hillebrand’s report and because I’ll need to quickly enter a lot of info at MWC (and I don’t want to lug around my desktop replacement and, therefore, pretty heavy IBM Thinkpad a31p just for inputting text), I’ve installed the latest StowAway / iGo Bluetooth drivers on all my mobile devices (even non-Windows Mobile ones) to find out whether the drivers available HERE are (still) compatible with the latest operating system / firmware versions. I’ve found out the following:
Windows Mobile
Pocket PC’s (a.k.a. WM6 Classic / Professional):
HP iPAQ hx4700 (WM5 AKU 3.5.2; selecting & using the Widcomm driver, NOT the MS one); HTC Universal (WM6), Dell Axim x51v (WM5 official A12 (AKU 2.3) ROM with the MS BT stack), HTC Wizard (mfrazzz’ XDA Mobile 6 Release 5 FINAL) and the WM2003 HP iPAQ 2210: all work OK with the factory, default driver.
(Note that, as far as mfrazzz’ XDA Mobile 6 releases are concerned, version 3 was a no-go at all: it didn’t even try to connect. Pressing the Disable built-in HID support doesn’t help at all – unlike with all my other test devices or the same Wizard running Release 5.)
Smartphones (a.k.a. WM6 Standard)
HTC Vox / s710 (factory WM6 Smartphone ROM); no native driver; therefore, I tested it with the s620 / Excalibur / MteoR driver (they’re the same – actually, it seems ALL HTC Smartphones have the same drivers, unlike with WM5 and pre-WM5 Pocket PC’s): OK
HTC Oxygen / s310 with the above MS SP drivers (no native driver): the config app doesn’t even load (“Keyboard driver not functioning!”); then, after closing it, I started to get system errors about the keyboard driver DLL not responding.
Blackberry:
BB 8800 (4.2.1.101 / 2.3.0.80, T-Mobile): Works OK; program invocation hotkeys also work as expected.
Palm OS:
Palm T3: Works OK, albeit some of the program invocation shortcuts (apart from the most basic calendar/ contacts / inbox) take you to some other program, not the default one (unlike with the WM or the BB version). Otherwise, it’s OK.
Symbian:
Nokia N95 (firmware version v20): No native N95 (or any new – the latest ones are dated from 03/2007; the Palm / WinMo / BB drivers have been released a bit later; for example, the BB one in 07/2007) drivers from ThinkOutside; however, the N92 driver works just great on the N95. All the shortcuts work (as opposed to the built-in drivers). Note that the green Fn + Backspace terminates the connection (unlike on WinMo), which, then, must be re-enabled by just re-invoking the wireless keyboard applet. Also note that, unlike with Windows Mobile, Alt+keys directly enters accented characters, which are a bit more cumbersome to bring up under WinMo.
Note that the built-in Tools / Connectivity / Wlss Keyboard works without the need to install any third-party driver – apart from the complete lack of program / task switcher shortcuts and the lack of the English Pound, Japanese Yen and Euro entry.
Conclusion
All in all, the drivers are fully compatible with even the latest devices / firmware versions on all mobile platforms. On Windows Mobile, all the tested WM6 devices, Smartphones and Pocket PC’s alike, worked just great.
That is, you don’t need to be afraid of purchasing the keyboard – it WILL (almost surely) work. The only device not compatible was the HTC Oxygen / s310 low-end MS Smartphone. This doesn’t mean there aren’t other WinMo devices incompatible with the existing drivers, though - it's just that I haven't found one.
Yep seems like MS will be launching another update before 7.0 is released

Thanks for sharing
But nothing about a possible release date yet, I don´t think we will see 6.5 before may or june 09 (hope i´m wrong)
Maybe they will rename WM 6.1 AKU 1.5(6).x to WM 6.5 like they did with WM6 AKU1 (which became WM6.1) i talk for the professional version not the standart one
So far in aku 1.4/5 they have added the new Internet Explorer Mobile, Flash Lite 3.1 (up to 3.5) finger scrolling builtin the OS, and more minor changes.
In near future we must expect zune services integration and silverlight mobile - with these added we will have Windows Mobile 6.5
Sounds like good news to me!
The odds of me getting a WM7 upgrade for my Polaris is as close to zero as it gets. But an upgrade to WM6.5 is very much possible indeed. That means more fun and a better phone.
Keep your fingers crossed!

Not yet, maybe in next ver., I have some problems with integrating

So how can I enable Touch Scrolling ( without any 3rd party app )?
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Gestures\Touch
"Disabled"=dword:0

First verry thanks for Your good job tslany. ROM is verry stable, fast, battery drain is OK, memory drain is OK. Verry good ROM. I have only one problem with Wi-Fi. Not functioning in full version. I check in the vanilla.
Windows Live is not working
First of all thanks for this great rom, its working very smooth and faster. But windows live is not working, it doesn't allow me to sign in. After many failed attempts I have manually installed windows live but the problem is still exist.
Any solution will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Try Tomal live messenger, you can find it on Tomal 8.2 or 8.5 threads.
If not have a look here, sure one of this versions will work

I tried installing "Tomal's Windows Live" but the same situation, then i removed the windows live from registry, restarted the device and reinstall "Tomal's Windows Live". Now its working fine.
Thanks for your suggestions.
