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.

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.
I feel like we are only thinking one sided, android devices should be able to boot windows mobile. I would do it but I dont know where to start.
maybe i will try and flash a wm6.5.3 wqvga rom to mytouch 3g and see what happens since they have native capacitative support in the os now.
somebody mind pointing me in the right direction?
wtf would you want windows on this? i would point you in direction of buying a windows device
only for try..i want to try win mob. on my magic..i don't like win but if i can choose with a bootloader if start android or win mob. ............so WoooW
if win mob is hard to port...we can try to port iOs... no??
(sorry for my bad english, i'm italian)
if Apple users can port Android on iFron, why we can't port iOS on Android devices???
I don't like WM either, but i think it would be nice to see iOS on Android...but in my opinion it is impossible.. if it was possible, somebody would do it already..
lele5800, because Android is open operating system, you can modify sources and build it for any device.
iOS and WM are closed..

you see you all miss the strong points of windows mobile. not only could i open view and edit office files i could open and send directly from my email (outlook mobile) i have a mytouch 3g and honestly dont like it even with froyo. the only reason i got this lacking device is because i broke my touch pro2
there are so many things I can do that i cant do on android with out a force close.
and if android is soo "cool" why not run windows mobile for people that need that good office integration for work since jobs are hard to find here in america.
I thought it would be a good idea. android to me is for people who would like to seem smart with out the need of actual know how.
the developers on the other hand seem smart to me remembering all the sudo command lol
but I seen my personal compatibility flaws with android when i couldnt open a docx or a doc file directly from my email and/or save it where I wanted to.
so dont down me for wanting better integration.
android looks nice. thats about it. the keyboard onscreen likes to close on its own and never come back. too often. so please if you arent helping the port dont say that other chitter chatter. cause the **** don't matter.

What the flying **** are you talking about? If you hate Android so much sell your myTouch3G and GTFO.
All the "flaws" your talking about aren't even real issues. File manager? Did you spend 1 minute looking through the market for a file manager app?
Opening the limitation to opening a docx file is part of the design by Microsoft why the **** would they want people to be able to open and edit documents with software that isn't getting them money? And why the **** would you want to edit your docs on a 3.2inch touch screen. FAIL
The Keyboard likes to close and never come back? That has never happened to me. You're using your phone wrong.
So android is for idiots?
Were you any smarter than you are you would have a bunch of apps that do all the things you want them to do. For example DocsToGo is an excellent program compatible with ms office files.
Android runs perfectly if you know what to run on your device. try running windows 7 on Intel 386. Works well,huh?
Exactly, your **** does not matter.
Windows mobile..never again.
Windows Phone 7.. wortha try next month
I only mentioned that some have making something for magic, but unfortunately, certains members instead of providing more, they talk and talk.
I think that is not the purpose of this forum.
your reply does not help its purpose either.
my cousin just showed me this app for the iphone called hey tell. its a voicemail text app, instead of texting you say a brief sentence and sending like atext and its just as fast as a regular text.also they can do the same. just wanted to know if they have a similar app for the hd 2.
I'm not familiar with hey tell, but Android has voice to text throughout the OS. You can voice to text SMS. Voice to text searches, etc. Of course it goes the other way too with text to voice so that it speaks turn by turn directions.
Android on the HD2 is getting very stable and useable now. It's been my primary OS for many weeks now.

Its called Tellme (see it here.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKWjPONWl_c)
This can crash your phone so install latest microsoft voice command MSVC, it worked on and off for me so gave it the flick but others give it the thumbs up so each to their own.
I dont recomment using that app, can really brick your phone.

Dude man up already! If you can do cht you can do android with your eyes closed. Its really not that hard and because it runs from your sd card there's really nothing that can brick your phone. Once you go android you will not give WinMo a second thought. Trust me. The latest builds of droid are just as if not more stable than my WinMo setup. Battery drain is the only issue for me right now (it's not really that bad but it's not quite as good as WinMo atm) but once we get a nand version this should get better.

Android isn't that hard, as long as you know how to hspl unlock your phone, flash a custom ROM and a proper radio. Nothing to it at all for a noob....
Maybe that's why we NEVER see threads that start "help me, I think I bricked my phone!!!"

Nice..
I think that this could also be done now manually eg. by installing another chrooted OS (Debian) and configuring Xorg to work correctly with the external screen. Yes, it is complicated and unseen problems will probably arise.
IMO that looks like a train wreck. A couple of beers later, snap! You now have two phones.

Yeah, I don't think it will go anywhere either. I'm sure someone will do something cool to it though. I remember being on Engadget during the press conference waiting for that dumb David Blaine stunt to get over with.

Yea I heard about the David Blaine thing; kinda stupid imo.
However, I don't really like the design of the phone, not really pleasing to look at; that and tthe fact that the form factor itself might actually take away from the speed you can do most things.

Technically, we already have a very early Prototype DS emulator on the market.
Just search up Tiger Lab Nintendo DS on Google
{I would provide the URL link but as the website says I'm still a n00b and unable to post weblinks}
I personally haven't tried out the emulator, but it definately shows promise.
nice, finally effective multi tasking phone
That dual screen phone is pretty darn ugly. I don't think I'd carry a dual screen phone... definitely not one with those specs. It's too thick and too big without the good specs it would need.
Hi,
I am sorry if this is mentioned here somewhere, but I could not find anything about it(yes, I did use search button).
So, here it is, My girlfriend bought HTC Desire S few weeks ago, and is using the stock Sense Keyboard(phone in stock condition, not rooted or s-off), and when she's typing, everything goes fine, then she stops typing for a few moments(last time she told me something, took about minute) and then goes back, once she hits the backspace button after this delay, the system shuts down the draft, saving it, but sending her into all messages menu, from there she has to open the draft again to start typing again...
small bug, not a big deal, you can say, but it can get very frustrating after few written SMS... Does anyone here gets same issue? Any idea how to resolve this? I was thinking of getting her different keyboard, e.g. gingerbread stock, which is installable from APK, so ROOT is not needed for that, but still, I'd rather get this resolved and let her use the keyboard she's used to
You can download the Gingerbread Keyboard from the market.

I was thinking of that solution as well, till I googled this thread:
http://androidforums.com/htc-desire-s/324029-delete-selection-screen-appearing-when-pressing-backspace-whilst-writing-text.html
Well, according to some people there, its not the solution, so I guess, I will have to get her HancentSMS
Tbh, I use handcent anyway. It's pretty much the first thing I install on a new phone / ROM.
Yea, my girlfriend is a little conservative, so she likes stock things, however I tried to install the Gingerbread keyboard, and she got used to it pretty quickly, and was happy, and same thing actualy happened with Hancent, she liked it very much, so I guess issue solved. Now if anyone of you have same issue, Hancent SMS solves it
This thread can be locked as resolved - even tho I still hope HTC will release some hotfix for the stock SMS app

Only time will tell.....Fortunately she's coming from a NOKIA so the things that she'll gain should easily out weigh the losses!

I am with ya bro you'll see, Desire S is great phone, feels a way faster than my original Desire, and appart from this one bug she's very happy with it... so as soon as your girlfriend gets this phone, install her hancentSMS to avoid that bug, and she will be happy
