What MDA do I have ?

several programs I downloaded do not work on my
MDA. When talking to support of these programs, I am always asked what screen and processor I have, AND what model is my MDA,
Vario, ???? The Invoice description is HTC KIT MDA VSW Can somone enlighten me? Also, what is the processor, ARM?
Does anyone know of a program which works to clean up unused Icons. I had such program on iPaq6315 from Kai Developer
Thanks !

dont know which from that mate but if you have a look at the site index and match it too the pics(that show each device) maybe

Go to Settings->System-Device Info->Identity then compare the Model No. with the table in the wiki - http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_PhoneModels

thanks !
it show Model WIZA200 which I then ID on the provided link as MDA Vario
Now all I need is a cleaning program which works with OMAP850 Processor !

I really do not understand what you mean by "unused icons" perhaps you should try a firmware upgrade or put a post in the Wizard forum.
Good luck,

I mean Icons in the Programs Page etc which still are there although
I uninstalled the program. Also some Programs do not show in the
"Remove Program" list but still show on the "Programs" screen

Can't you just browse from your PC and delete them then ?

unfortunately not, I get sharing violations on each of the programs
I want to delete (but are no longer listed in the "remove" screen)...

Hi kg09!
Try MemMaid. It has a lot of functions for cleaning memory.
Also if you still have the app from your iPaq it should work. The OMAP processor has the same ARM command set, which in plain English means that as far as regular apps are concerned the only difference is speed.
(Only utilities like overclocking are dependent on the specific processor type)

Thanks a LOT, levenum - this program seems to what I need
(the ipaq programs I have are not WM5 and trying some of those was what cluttered up my MDA) KG09

O2 xdaII mini

Dear friends ,
thanks for accepting me to be a part of this forum.
i have just been given a o2 min xdaii.
this is a upgrade to what i was using before ,and belive me i am lost with the jargon cab ,arm ect.
what i would like to know that other Pockect pc hp,bell ect use similar software application if so how can i use them,what are the parameter i should see to use before i download and apply so that they can be used by me.i would not like to be locked up and not be able to nothing about it.
so before i can try i would be much OBLIGED if you can brief me as to what critera i should adhere to.
it would be of great help to me
thanks

Hi rmelco1!
First, welcome to the forum!
Now a couple of basic terms:
CAB - a file which contains a program installation and can be run on the device by clicking it from file explorer. Usually apps will come with desktop installer that will transfer the cab automatically.
ARM - The standard of the processor. Once there were others (MIPS, SHA) but today only ARM is left, so any app from recent years would likely to have only ARM version.
Now here is what you need to check for compatibility:
1) That the app is for ARM processor.
2) That it is for Windows Mobile 2003SE or earlier. (WM 2002 apps will run on your device, but WM5 apps won't)
3) How much storage and program memory the app requires. You can go to Start->Setting->System->Memory to see how much you have.
4) Processor speed. Some apps like Skype are dependent on high processor speeds and if I am not mistaken your device has 195MHz processor. It will run the 'slow' Skype version though.
Well that's about it.
Good luck.

thanks a lot i am much at ease now.i am forwarding to u the details what should i make out it .and what can be done to enhance it

Here are a couple more tips for you:
1) You should put your device type and ROM version in your signature (see this post for example). That way when you have a question you won't have to retype the info.
romversion.1.11.00wwe
rom date.3.4.05
radio versio 1.11.00
ext rom versio 1.11.922
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
2) Check out the Magician forum, you'll find a lot of stuff specific to your device, and of course there is a link to the wiki on the main page.
3) Note that when you click on the X you don't actually close the app, but minimize it. I suspect that is why your device becomes slow after a while (memory is all used up). To really close the program go to Start->Settings->System-Memory->Running programs. You can also get a program like SK Menu or MagicButton that let you close apps directly.

RAMdisk and Battery life

First of all thank all of you developers for the great great work!
I bit the bullet few days ago and installed WM2005
it's so fantastic!
But I realized that the battery life hasn't been imporved or it might have been reduced
So it got me thinking, is it possible to not have the RAMdisk and PagePool so that we don't touch the RAM at all and improve the battery life?
because one of the biggest improvment WM2005 brought was increased battery life by not keeping the votile RAM alive which consumes almost 50% of the battery life...
Just a thought...

ah...
ok... no reply
I must have asked a stupid question
I willl answer my self with self-made explanation.
Himalaya's hardware was designed to keep the SDRAM voltile at all time
so no metter what you do with the software there is no way to force
128Mb of SDRAM to asleep.
Damn.

hi to all ,, i want to thank the logout for the nice ROM 3.34 it s wonderful and stable ..but it has the same problem with smart dial program, won t work with the virgy dial pad skin ,,i don t know how to get the original dial pad skin to let th e smart dial work
Thanks
the rom posted here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=282669&highlight=logout+rom
----------------------------------------
i-mate Pocket PC Phone Edition
128 MB RAM
64 MB RAmDisk
ROM 3.34

i'm pretty sure that it's not the rom that deside if ram is kept powered when the device is off it's the device itself which handle that
so only nativ 2005 hardware would safe power
even unused ram would be powered because the hardware dont try to deside if random bits are random or your data
p.s. come to think of it i dont even think nativ 2005 devices turn off the ram when off because that would mean that applications would die when you turn the device off unless the system would place those applications which are suspented when off's memory to disk so their heap and stack info would not be gon when they started again when the user turned on the device
but some applications run even when off like notification and phone controlling applications so their would still need powered memory for their heap and stack

Feedback : 2003 SE vs 2005

What are the real gains to upragde an "old" 400 MHz Himalya 2003 SE to a WM2005 ?
Speed ? MP3 Ringtones ? Compatibliy ? Stability ?
Anyone who could give me a piece of advise, it will be a great help.

WM5 - slower, but nice graphics and comfortable using with one thumb.
IMHO

I Need Urgent Help!!!
argh!! people i need help! fast! i have an i-mate PPC phone edition and its running on wm2003... i need an upgrade to 2003SE or wm5 but i dunno how to do it... pls help me...

You need to use the search function of this forum..
Or if you need a real time helper contact me through Yahoo Messenger

I went for c_shekar's WM5 and I have to admit I love it. Just for the better camera software - I lost the zoom but gained an edit/rotate function. And the auto-correct is pretty good for low light pics. And the soft buttons are great. It took a while to get used to some things being in different places, but overall I'm extremely impressed.

WM5 On the last AKU 3.5 best, at me never so quickly the device did not work...

I like the fact that an empty battery doesn't wipe out the memory (Storage).
(if you don't install your programs in ram)
Gr. Mach2005

at fact now.
everybody use ram-disk - so you still can loose your data.
as for me - i choose wm5 because of better IE an SPB Mobile shell.
it little more slowest and buggy then wm03se, but it not so bad at all.

if one copy the content pf ramdisk to a sdcard and copy it back if data is lost and softreset then one all is well
"better ie" sounds a bit like an oxymoron

Speed: 2003SE Faster because programs work on ram not rom like 2005.(It's old device, I not serious when it's hang but sometime it will hang)
MP3 Ringtones/Polyphonic Midi: 2003SE and 2005 MP3 Ringtone ummm... not serious for me but polyphonic ringtone, sound of instrument is different with 2003/2003SE (I use same midi files to test.)
Compatibliy: 2005 is newer. I answer 2005.
Stability: 2005 AKU 3.5 is better than 2003SE
Phone: When I use 2003SE OS My girlfriend tell me about sometimes she call me but it have waiting tone but I didn't hear it.
When I use 2005 I not heard about somebody can call me and my device not wakeup when somebody calling me.
