I have an i-Mate (XDA II) (Himalaya) running Windows Mobile 2003. I want to upgrade my operating system.
Should I wait for Windows Mobile 2005 (will it work on my PDA) or look for Windows Mobile 2003 SE?
Thanks
Calli
2003 Se, the SIN merged rom is recommended.
DONT use 2005 unless you want to have 9meg storage only, lose all the ram, and have most programs not work. Other than that its nice.
2003 SE 2.20 is great, but bugged because of translation. I used it for ages.
The 2.02 and 2.06 have issues each, so the merged SIN rom seems the best stable bet.
Ive tried them all.
2003 Se, the SIN merged rom is recommended
Thanks Pyrofer for the advice.
Where can I get a copy of 2003 SE, that is easy to install?
Thanks

Calli, I have just installed the SIN merged rom and it works great on my imate. Give it a go.
Lets talk about something happier than just upgrading to the newer version of Pocket "DOS cover". Lets talk about useful things in the interface. See screenshots to find out what I like about my machine!
Thanks for the screenshots !
Do you have an url for the newer version of Pocket "DOS cover" ? :?:
Je ne te comprends pas... Tu n'es pas content avec ton OS? Et pouquoi? Est ce que tu peut nous passer tes screens?
Buon Giorno,
oramai ho installato la versione ufficiale della rom wm6 per Vodafone da diversi giorni,e sinceramente mi trovo abbastanza bene.
Per quanto riguarda Tomtom Navigator va'come una scheggia,non bisogna fare nemmeno il pairing con il ricevitore gps che si accoppia in men che non si dica,nessuna incertezza o rallentamenti ,ricordo che il software ed il ricevitore sono quelli della Palm avendo io aderito all'offerta di questa estate;
l'unico software che fa i capricci è iGO 2006,si vede molto schiacciato e i pulsanti non corrispondono alla loro posizione tanto da non poterlo usare,ed è un peccato perchè mi ha aiutato,proprio sul Treo,in molte situazioni dove gli altri navigatori con tomtom mostravano la corda,ne ho altri tre anche uno XL originale.
L'iGO è semplicemente spettacolare per il fatto di non dover cambiare mappa uscendo dai confini di stato dopo aver creato un'itinerario molto complesso,in teoria ,se fosse possibile farlo in macchina,si potrebbe andare da Roma a NewYork passando da Cape Town,Parigi Pechino e Mosca.Se qualcuno che legge ha già risolto il problema ......iGo non risponde alle mie email di richiesta .....
Grazie ed in bocca al lupo.
....a babbiò.... non ti risponderanno mai così!

Good day,
I've installed the official Vodafone WM6 ROM since some days now, and sincerely I find myself quite well with it.
As far as concerns Tomtom Navigator, it runs like a bullet, it don't even need to be paired with the GPS receiver, that establishes connection very quickly ; no slow down. I'd like to remember tha the software and the receiver are from Palm, since I subscribed to this summer offer.
The only software giving troubles is iGO 2006, it appears very stretched and the buttons doesn't match their real position, making the software useless. It's a real pity, since it helped me many times on the Treo where other softwares had difficulties. I've got three more and an original XL.
iGO is simply spectacular, since you don't have to change map when exiting from a State borders after having created a very complex route. Theoretically, you could go from Rome to New York passing from Cape Town, Paris, Beijing and Moscow. (ndt ) If anybody who's reading has already solved the problem (please help me)....iGo is not answering to my e-mails...
Thanks and good luck.

How you made it working? I'm still getting a stretched screen...
how do you make iGo to work with treo's square screen? i get the "HardwareIDerror" ???
I was trying to make the IGO software work on my WM6, but no case. The image still seems streched. It's not compatible with Wm6, as says in the IGO software page.
You can download the IGO basic installation software from this link: http://www.javiermb.com/tomtom/Igo.rar
This page has a lot of **** related to IGO, Route66, TOMTOM and some other navitation software (mainly all is downloadable within the forum). I've to say that the page is almost full in Spanish. Anyway it could be useful.
Use the babelfish software if you don't get a word !! =)
I insist: some people said that make that IGO work on WM6 (for example, adding some sys.txt file with a few lines within it). But for me, it didn't work. We'll have to wait for an update.
Cheers.

HardwareIDerror stands for not having a working/ legal license.db.
Oncourse use same maps etc.
You could use Oncourse.
Oncourse use same maps etc.
I used miomap before and on the Treo 750 the screen settings wasnt correct.
The "trick" adding width 240 - height 240 in sys.txt doesnt work for me.
Does ANYONE got Garmin Que for windows Mobile AND Samsung i780 to work with the internal GPS??
I got TomTom 6 with portsplitter to work perfectly... but with the Garmin Que program it wont fint a GPS device when i link it to COM6 (the one i use in portsplitter).
Why.. (anyone)???
OR do anyone have any other GOOD windows Mobile 6 software to run my Garmin Bluechart maps on???? (is it possible to convert maps to Oziexplorer maps f.ex)?

I've installed it and looks great!
128dpi is perfect for these screen!
Any screenshots of this rom and the different resolutions?
and there is no Russian version? or at least Russifiers.
I like this ROM but.. g-sensor doesn't working more! How to enable them?
Why do you need g senser? its a waste of battery.
sometimes it is very useful, especially in the case when we don't have hard keys. We can simulate some navigation movements shaking our device )))
which dll supports g-sensor? I can simply put them into Win directory and it should work.
Also, I remembered possibility to add virtual hard keys on the PDA's screen. Something similar I used 7-8 years ago with my Palm OS device. Do we have such a program for WM?
A few observations more about your ROMs, Vico100.
I can't reproduce video made by camera. I've tried to do that with TCMP, Core Player, SmartMovie, WM Player. Some of them reproduces only sounds but no one reproduces video.
Speed of device isn't the best one. I've compared the speed of Toshiba g900 (which I always take as a dumb and slow device- with 520MHz processor , WVGA graphics and WM6.1) and with your version of WM 6.5.3. To be honest, I've expected a better result because X7510 is newer and stronger peace of hardware. I won't say that it is too slow but honestly, I've expected that it should work faster than g900. Yes, it is 6.5.3 (at least 15-20% slower than 6.1). I made a benchmark test with Core Player. The Matrix movie trailer with 640x480 resolution gave poor 28,8% of real speed. In the same time g900 gave 62%. I simply can't understand what the problem is. If we know that Core Player supports Imageon acceleration, things are even more strange.
I'm a little bit confused with poor results in video reproduction. I made a small experiment with various kind of video files (resolution, codecs etc). Unfortunately, results are very poor (even with Core Player with support of ATI video processor). 12-15fps in 320x200 is miserable.
3D Benchmark v1.0b gives 27-35 FPS. It is a terrible result for this kind of device.
What the problem is?
The slow video/graphics is a known problem. if you search for "Athena ati" you we'll see that this problem goes back to x7500 model. ATI did not supply HTC with the correct drivers something along those lines. There is really nothing that can be done.
hi vico , need your help, have being trying since yesterday to install a radio for ur rom but i just cant , feilure conection all the time, i think something wrong with the files on the x7510 radio zip. i redownload twice and i flashed the 3 roms allready (96,128 and 192 DPI) without any problem, but i cant flash the radio, i tryed with 3 diferent computers , but the erros are the same on each computer,
there is any full rom , i mean with the radio already to flash? ore can i get back to the stock rom 6.1? because i just cant use the device without the radio
aprecite any help., thanx for your support.

Well... the same problem with video chip support had Toshiba G900 (GoForce 5500, 520MHz, WVGA) but I achieve better benchmark results on that device than with x7510. Even more, the worst results in Core Player are in "ATI Imageon" mode. That means, device afford better results in GDI and FrameBuffer mode than in mode with hardware support. That's the reason why I put that question here.
Is it possible to take drivers from some other device with the same graphics co-processor and "cook" them into ROM?
down rom tardivement
Bonjour "Vico"
Je suis posseseur d'un HTC X7510 et je cherche à updater mon appareil avec une rom complète francaise de wm 6.5.
Je suis novice sur ces questions.
Actuellement

V rom ext 3.29.406.101
WM 6.1 Professionnal

J'ai acheté cet appareil directement sans passer par un FAI.
J'ai été sur XDA et essayer de telecharger en 128 DPI ou + mais impossible.
Le lien skydrive ne permet pas de telecharger.
Pouvez-vous me donner un lien fonctionnel ?
Merci d'avance.

I tried right now to download a 128 dpi rom and it works fine.
Vico, do you plan to release a new ROM soon?
I have a semester break starting in July. I might do something then but i can't grantee. I don't really know what else to do with the rom, it has gone through so many revisions. Is there anything your after in particular?
WM scene is almost dead, unfortunately. You can only change some tweaks and so on...
I only miss g-sensor functionality in your ROM-s.
Ok ill try to do that in July
Whats up with the tiny on screen keyboard?
