Change ORANGE WINDOWS to new WINDOWS 6.0

Hello all, tomorrow ill get my brand new spv e650 (aslo known as htc s710 and htc vox) and I wanna do rechange of my windows to new 6.0
IM COMPLETLY NEWBIE AND DONT KNOW ANYTHING
Can you help me guys? Very please, i'd be thankful and please dont say anything in ur 'code' like "ROM", as I said im noob and dont know what is ROM ^^
I gues rom = new windows or something like this?
email: [email protected]
thank you.
I am not sure what are you talking about. HTC VOX comes with Windows Mobile 6 which is the most current version.
I think he means he want the true windows mobile 6 icons and all instead of the orange branded ones... I'm not sure if there's an easy way to fix that though?
Well it's not that much of a problem. You just need to replace the orange images with the windows mobile ones.
If he is looking to get rid of the Orange branding one of the admins at MoDaCo has created a debranding pack for the E650 - http://www.modaco.com/content/Smartphone-Standard-News/255845/SPV-E650-de-Brand-Fix-Pack-0-5/.

[Q] Windows 6.5 on HTC Kaiser/TyTN II

i got this old phone because my iphone was stolen. windows 6.1 is on it right now. this is the at&t version of the phone. Please be aware that i know nothing about roms/phone hacks/etc...
i would like to upgrade this phone to windows 6.5 (or 7 if it can do it)...
thank you for your help.
also, what software do i use to hook the phone to the pc (windows 7 64-bit)
um, anybody! HEY THERE!
To connect the device to Windows 7 you will need Window Mobile Device Centre.

There is a link for 32 and 64 bit versions.
For upgrading the ROM start here.

Mobile 7 is probably impossible.
Is the upgrade form 6.1 to 6.5 worth all the hassle?
well, let me ask you: is winmo 6.5 way better than 6.1?
Only if you really need the finger flicking Sense iPhone style user interface. That's all it seems to offer over 6.1
First off unlocking the phone and upgrading the stock Rom is probably the best thing you can do to improve performance .
I did this and am running basically a stock Rom with all the garbage-ware removed, it is more stable and faster . See my sig for the Rom..

6.1 and 6.5 , both have there advantages , it all depends on what you like..

Windows Mobile 6.5 Needed

Hello, I have been developing android for phones for a while but need to know if there is a way to port Windows Mobile 6.5 to the HTC CHACHA. I ask of this because I want to see the old 6.5 again but on a newer handset. I did like it then and want back now as well.
Please reply soon.

Are you joking? Dont do this s**t, dont put windows wher he shouldnt be.
Windows on phones is the worst mistake that MS do.
I know what you mean dude, but is it possible? I have loads of .cab files to test out on the OS and have been collecting them for years - if they work on the ChaCha I could be on to something.
The OS can be similar of that to the HTC Excalibur or the HTC Snap. It doesn't really matter which - but is it possible on the processor??
Gimme a shout (PM or something) with some other extra info (mainly how do you want the OS) and if there's any chance of taking it off an old HTC phone that I have lying around gathering dust on it. I remember having an .img with 6.5 but it got lost (prolly deleted it).
Hi, thank you for replying Alex C., i need a rom for the ChaCha in the format of the one that used to be on the Samsung Jack (it is a Windows Mobile 6.5 qwerty).
However will the ROM work on the ChaCha processor and will it be stable??
Also, the processor on the Jack is 528MHZ and the ChaCha is 800MHZ will there be a significant speed increase??
If you can get me a ROM that will boot and stable - we could open a Windows Mobile thread.
Also, you said you get something off a HTC phone - will HTC Excalibur be able to work on ChaCha.
Thanks Alex C. Please let me know soon, TechMayhem.
Don't bother wasting your time, you don't have any proprietary files, don't have a bootloader and WM doesn't have support for your phone.
Android phones use dalvik VM to load the java-based Android OS. WM is not java-based and can therefore not be booted by this phone. Only possibility is that you would mix up an WM 6.5 phone with the chacha, but I don't think you will succeed. Ever. You might try just picking up a second hand WM6.5 phone though, I don't think they cost much. And you could always try your .cab's on a emulator on your pc.

[Q] Upgrade to Windows 8

Hi all,
I'm looking into buying a windows phone (found a htc 7 mozart really cheap) and I've made some extensive research on the os (I plan to start developing). However I have one question left: When Windows 8 will be released, will we be able to upgrade without having to change phones? Does anybody have any clue? Especially for 1st gen devices like the mozart.
Thanks in advance
i am sure it will, atleast the Windows 8 upgrade, maybe a bit later
else Microsoft have told about that
I really hope so. I want my focus to run Apollo

I'm going for the Mozart than. Thanks for your replies.

[Q] windows mobile downgrade

Hi all.
I've had an Omnia 7 for a few months now, having upgraded from an HTC HD2, and to be honest, i just dont like it. not that there'sanything wrong with wp7, i just prefer having good old windows mobile 6.5. and i may as well be honest, i only got wp7 for the zune. and now that i have a regular zune, i was wondering if there was any way at all to flash a custom rom of wm 6.5 to my omnia 7?
thanks in advance for any information you care to share. oh and by the way im stil fairly new here (in the sense i havet used my account) so if ive posted in the wrong area please let me know and ill delete the thread accordingly.
