Can I flash a ROM on a Nokia N97 Shanzhai clone - General Topics

I want to buy an N97 clone (http://www.nowsupplier.com/n97-windows-mobile-wifi-smartphone-java-slide-phone-white-p-346.html) cos i like WM and the N97 design, but it only has WM6.1, would it be possible to flash it with 6.5 or can I install manila 3d or 2d from a cab file onto it and where can I get the flat manila WM6.1 theme. Thanks in advance.

Don't want to ran on your parade to much with this, but with all clones, I wouldn't bother with this at all.
Its tech specs are poor, 360mhz processor? Seriously? 2g and edge as well. There is not mention to ram, only an 8gb rom...
As to part of your question, it is QVGA, so you'd just need to find the QVGA Manilla 2d files, I have seen them around on the forums somewhere.
As to roms, I can't help.

Thanks alot, I thought so, my hermes is better just liked the look of it, and wanted to "wow" people with a cheap N97 lookalike.

Interesting stuff, what I like the most is that it says "Most likely" WM7 can be used on older devices because all the changes like screen rotation with device will use the cam instead of hardware like accelerometers and stuff... wonder how long till my wizard is sporting WM7...
they gonna turn ppc's into sm/iphone/touch ****?

...taking 40 of 47 mb mem free.....
does any1 have WM 6.1 WWE yet?
WM7 on an 2-year old wizard?
Realistically, the chances of WM7 running on a standard Wizard are somewhere between slim and none. I can offer two strong reasons: memory and speed. As someone noted earlier there are only 49 MB of program memory. Right now mine has only 19 free. If Microsoft follows its normal OS expansion rate, 49 MB won't be nearly enough.
As for speed - we,, we all know how fast the Wizards's chip is and - even with overclocking - it's slow. And in a year it will seem slower still.
So.. unless someone is going to begin to sell an aftermarket Wizard chipset on a higher capacity and faster piece of silicon - which I find unlikely and uneconomical -WM7 just isn't in the cards for old Wizards.
Having said that, I would love to be wrong.
You never really know though. I think there is a good chance that the wonderful cooks here will work a miracle and get wm7 on our Wizards. Look at the MPx200, for example: It's had every version of windows mobile/smartphone ever since SP2002 when it came out.
Well too bad couldn't have said the same for my MPX300 it was stuck with WM2003se............ but WM6 seem a bit cool tho.............
You have the MPX300?? Interested in selling?
it's not 100% tho ............ water got on the screen so i can't get past the screen alignment when i reset the phone

True, pity mine sucks as it has a habit of spontaneously discharging the battery so I can't turn it on, thus I switched to the Wizard and now my iPhone.
EDIT: Looking at that Windows Mobile 7 article, I'm severely tempted back to Windows Mobile if that takes off!
I don't think wizard can handle wm7 (full OS) but i'm sure rom chef's will find tha way to adapt some programs that will be used with it... maybe some hacking will allow software to be run in an acceptable level... not the OS but the feeling of it...
I heard that wm7 will be released on 2009. Is it true? I hope they will release it in this year.
b4 WM7 is out, does any1 have WM 6.1 WWE yet?
now i'm built sucselt wm6.1 wwe! it's changer *.mui RUS lang to WWE!
testing!!!!
up soon
i bet they release this year cause of the iphone even though its overated people are buying it instead of windows mobile phones. Looks like it will be out next september i reckon as from the pictures it looks pretty much finished interface wise. The HTC touch should get an update to WM7 as the touchflo isnt that great tbh.

waiting also
I can't wait ... it will be great... and btw. i think Wizard will be one of the devices on which microsoft will be testing... it's only my opinion, but it is old and it is popular.. same as MPx200 was (i had it before) and guess what? Microsoft tested WM5 on MPx200? Why? Because it was old and popular
But no flame war pleeeeeze

Some Questions

Hi,
I'm almost about to buy the Vox. It comes with WM 6.0, is it wise to flash it to WM6.1?
Wich rom would be the best? Depens on what apps i need?
And is it possible to play gameboy emulators with it?
thanks very much

Personally I'm running the Lefab47 Fireburned WM6.1 ROM
12 months in the VOX is still hands down the best phone Ive ever owned.
6.1 is a definate yes - its a big improvement
I would also suggest getting one of the XIP 20202 core roms as this addresses on of my only 2 gripes with the VOX, namely the speed - it was slightly underpowered, however with the new core speed is no longer an issue its greatly improved so my only remaining grip is that the camera could be better - but hey its almost perfect.
DO BUY ONE - they are seriously good
I found pocketGBA, hope this works.

Phone decision help

Omnia vs HTC diamond
I really like the touch-flo 3d UI and the fact that the diamond is such a small package, but the 4Gb of memory is sort low so....
I am asking if I got the Omnia, would I be able to install some apps and things to make it almost as flashy as the Touch-Flo 3d? and is it going to be as enjoyable as the Diamonds UI or will it just be too much hassel to "pimp out" the Omnia?

Welcome to the forum
This question has been made several times, just do a search
in personal I would go for the Diamond as is an HTC device so it will have the great support form this site, otherwise Omnia is no HTC build so it will be harder to get stuff (But yes you can find)
Good luck,

Iphone 3g with touchflo3d, possible?

is this possible attal ? would be cool !! be like a mini hd.
hmm i think its possible..but if i were u i would rather stick with iphone default ui..heh
Maybe. But you have to install WM6.1 on it, crop touchflo to unusual hvga size. While we saw videos of wm on iphone we also saw that porting tf3d from is hard and requires a lot of knowledge.
To sum up I don't think you will ever get touchflo 3d on iphone.

Windows Mobile 5? I want to go old school!!!

NO...fast route to a paper weight.
a good place to start
First I will say, I don't care why you want to do this, if you want to, good for you, give it a shot. I myself have been working on getting windows for workgroups to run on my tytn II, just for the heck of it, I have had no success yet, but have been able to run windows 3.0.
Second, I would think a good place to start would be with someone who is familiar with cooking for wm5 and wm6, ask them if wm5 is compatible with the tytn II chip set and if the roms build in the same way or a different way. In other words ask them if you cook a wm5 base rom, the same way you do a wm6 base rom.
Third, you have to make sure the way wm5 uses resources is compatible with the way the kaiser shares and stores the os and programs.
A while back a similar question was asked about wm2003 and the tytn, the reason they wanted it was because the wm2003 os uses very little memory which would in theory free up resources pending on your needs. The outcome was that the way wm2003 runs and uses resources, was not compatible with the tytn chip set.
Hope this helps a little, you might want to hit up Erofich in a pm, he has done work on both os's, but not the kaiser.
