Hey everyone,
I've been using a WM device for 2 years, a good and old KJAM and now the X7500. As you may have seen in my previous post, I'm going to use the X7500 as a UMPC together with my KJAM. I don't plan to ditch the KJAM, as I'm going to keep using it as my PDA and phone. The main purposes of the X7500 would be browsing (WIFI or HSDPA), watching movies, gaming and maybe some document editing.
I have to say, that I got lost trying searching and reading posts around here, and there seem to be a lot of confusion about many things, so I'm gonna ask some questions that I couldn't find one straight updated answer for. I know that these questions have been asked a lot of times, but as I said, there wasn't any clear answer for them (hopefully there is now).
1. I need a good, fast and reliable WM6/WM6.1 ROM. I don't need many features, just simple and as fast as possible. What do u recommend? By the way, if I flash another ROM will it change my device ID? I have bought a program that is registered to that specific device, and by changing the ID that program won't work.
2. BT mouse. how good does it work with the Athena? Will it slow down the system? Will it work with any program (esp. browsers)? How about connecting a USB mouse through the 4-in-1 cable, would it work?
3. Browser. We have a great device, amazing screen but I feel that no browser is good enough for it. I don't want anything fancy, but I want it to be fast and support tabbed browsing. Opera mini is fast enough, but it lacks an option to browse with XX% zoom out permanently like Opera, Netfront or even IE. All of the above are pretty good by the way, but they are simply too slow. Actually, I don't get that. Why are they so slow browsing with WIFI or 3.5G? Opera mini does the job faster, my desktop with the same connection does it faster, what's causing their lag? I found out that browsing through my desktop with LOGMEIN from the X7500 is even faster (but annoying).
Any browser that will hit the spot? Any way to speed things up?
4. Task manager. I want a program that will give me the multi-tasking capability of a desktop PC without slowing down the device. basically I need instant access to all the open programs in the same way the taskbar works on Windows. If the program will give me the option to choose whether to minimize or close a window, it would be better.
5. Printer. Can I plug a USB printer, or can I use only network/BT printers with the device?
6. Any other tips of-course would me most welcomed.
I hope you had the patience to read all of those questions, and maybe even more patience to answer them. Thanks a lot to everyone around here....
best rom? athena project 3. cannot be beaten. ther's a rule on here where theres no posting of roms allowed except project kitchen. This rom is made by people working all day on it, and a new version is released like every 3 months. because thats how long it takes to make it perfect. Im fairly sure the new one is being released this week. but dont quote me on that.
You named all the browsers anyone would suggest, so I cant really recommend anything.
For taskbar id say use wisbar if you need loads of features and skinnable taskbar along with cascading start menu like real windows, or wktask for just sortof tabbed taskbar. wktask is embedded into the rom I mentioned.
hope this helps

First of all, thanks a lot for your comment. I don't really understand what you mean by no ROM postings allowed around here. If I want a lighter ROM than Athena Project, and afraid to cook myself one, I'm out of luck? nobody can even publish their cooked versions of the AP ROMs?
There is no rule like that at all.
If you decide to cook a ROM, feel free to post it. The Athena Project do some great work, but they don't own these public forums.
i dont want to argue about it , but if that's the case, then why is there only one cooked rom avalable? plus check the sticky called proj ct kitchen to see where i got the impression that you cant.

1) I will suggest PK3.0 as the fastest IMHO, we are waiting the new WM6.1 (4.0 release) The .NET re-designed will improve the speed as is happening in many other ROMs. We are waiting also the results of the Athena Team tuning: wait the WM6.1 may be in the next week.
I have increased the speed using MEMMAID, (www.dinarsoft.com) as mantainance and optimizzation tool. The rom's speed depends only from chef choices for the first start but later is related to many other things. Manteinance is the best way to keep it fast
1b) Device ID changed? may be not, we will see...
2) I use a wired optical mouse and it works just as is supposed to do
3) opera 9.5 is fast, the beta is out and it is finger friendly and fast . Netfront 3.5 is fast too, I chose Opera
4) wktask is part of PK rom, you can download it here http://soft.photoracer.net/docs/wktask_en.html and it does exactly what you need
5) Yes, BT or network, having jetcet print
ROM cooking is free and WELCOMED here!

There are a couple of others floating around if you search hard enough.
But the Athena Project roms are so good, everyone seems to use them.
fair enough mate. I have been reading the athena forums for abut 3 months, and never seen any other rom... theres so few posts daily, im sure I would have noticed

This is the 6.1 porting from Kaiser I think.

I think a lot of the browser slowness is down to windows mobile itself. Not sure why. Even the Opera Mini Java midlet is faster on the Symbian OS than on Windows Mobile. Netfront and Opera 9.5 are big improvements on what was available last year though, and Opera will no doubt have a few tweaks before its official release. No Flash or Java add-ons though still
Apparently someone has already managed to play youtube with Opera. Not sure if it is true as he has not responded to request for the cab file yet.

It's very jerky though. Still better off with the flash plugin. There's an application called EMTube on Symbian devices, would be nice to see it on winmo as it allows access to all the youtube Videos at high quality without loading up the browser at all. There's the Vtap application but that always seemed a bit stodgy to me.
On the subject of Fl3.0 you may have a long wait yet - it's still only been integrated into the N95 8gb, don't know what Adobe are playing at with the rollout for this - it was released as a developers' testing package over five months ago, at this rate someone's going to develop a workaround that screws them over: I HOPE AND PRAY!
That's why there was no excitement in my post.It's not really watchable.
I would still prefer to use PIE with TCPMP to download it first then watch it.
Hello,
I have been using the HTC WM6 ROM HERE and its been great. I wanted a basic ROM with no whistles and bows to get used to the device. Mine had the T-Mobile ROM on, nothing wrong with it but the phone dialer and theme are awful in my view. I tried both opera and net 3.5 and both show great promise, but they aren't ready yet. I ended up just getting one of the IE addon's that hanango do, fine for now. interesting to hear about the things you can use through the USB port. Ive been using the universal and stuff like that doesn't work on it. I think I need to go back and read up more!
Take care

I currently use SPB Mobile Shell as my navigation software for everything. I like the functionality of the software however there are a few things that I dont' care for.
Weather is innaccurate
The program sucks up RAM after running for a while.
I don't have anything on my today screen of WM since i use SPB for everyting i just keep it open with spbwatcher. I am looking for something to replace mobile shell with that will run quicker and take up less RAM after running for a while. Any reccomendations from prior Mobile Shell users? Thanks in advance!
I used to use mobile shell all the time but found myself using the navigation system less and less realistically... I didn't like the amount of memory it takes either, and it was debatable whether or not it was actually causing some kind of a leak on my device... Also, one of my MAIN gripes for not using is it is the fact that it didn't show all-day events on the calendar and it really wasn't all that friendly to appointments and stuff like that...
I found myself going to the today screen most of the time so I ended up just finding tools to enhance that to the point where I had everything I needed.
I use this combo for navigation and functionality:
personal digital clock - PDC for the friendly clock..
quickmenu - the BEST way to navigate through your device and tons of other features.. a must have for sure
spb weather - very simple and clean weather app which works efficiently
resco today plugin - I overlooked this lil guy for a LONG time but realized its usefullness just recently.. i disable all the bars except the app launcher portion and find it easy to include pretty much every app I use on a regular basis to 1 row of icons... no paging around menus to launch something... 1 click and im off.
Just my personal preference.. u can see images of my today screen if you're interested if you click on my avatar and go into the gallery there is a larger one.
HTC Home for the win! Customize it with HTC Home Customizer from Emu and it's a no brainer (It will download the HTC Home for you).
Calendar Plus
and Slither's Cube with TouchfloSL
agreed
Give HTC Home, Home Customizer...and try Battery Status, Vista Hide Battery Gauge.
I definitely thought Mobile Shell sucked power, ram and didn't do everything I needed.
I'm a big fan of SPB Mobile Shell, but the weather inaccuracies have really annoyed me. I just like the functionality so much, though, that I can't quite get myself to kick it...

Pocket Plus has all the additional features from shell that don't hog memory (at least for me) and I use HTC home for the shell feeling. Much slimmer than Shell and better looking IMHO.
throttle launcher
I am waiting for the next release of throttle launcher....it's a bit of a hog...but the feature set is amazing.

ditto...sortof.
I really like it, its almost exactly what I was looking for, but at the same time, its almost too much for the Titan, IMHO.
Personally I'd like to have a Throttle Launcher that functions more like a cross between HTC Home and SPB Mobile Shell.
What is the latest version of Slither's Cube? I am trying it now as a replacement for MS, but I am having issues with the screen going blank and nothing opening up. Not sure if I grabbed the latest one...Google had way too many hits
Also, is there an easy way to customise it? THe big thing I liked about MS was the ability to edit the menus, create a GPS button that had all the programs. I also like the analog clock..but I will fight with that later
Thanks for the Feedback
Thanks to all who have posted their feedback on alternatives to SPB Mobile Shell. I am not sure what route I will take next but this is certaintly helpful.
S2U2 fully replaces SPD MS today screen. Ultimate launcher 1.2 is excellent for program launching. SPD weather is great. SPD phone suite is nice for email sms etc.. notifications. SPD phone suite is also very good.
Obviously there is no "best" shell out there. The "best" one is the one that works for you.
I've been running spb mobile shell for a while now and absolutely love it. I've tried other shells and keep coming back to spb.
I've also never experienced any memory problems with it so I dont know what other people are complaining of. My guess is that its a combination of the shell and other stuff they have installed, and not the shell itself. But thats more of a M$ windows thing...
You may want to look into Winterface - interesting, but like I said, I ended up going back to spb.
I've also added spb phone suite and with the shell, provide me great business features without sacrificing performance.

I have to agree with deez. Any Memory issues I have had with Mobile Shell have come from other apps I have had installed with it. It is a hog, but I think well worth it.
i use the spb home tab along with the htc home plugin. this comes in handy with the 12 icons you can set with spb. also with the apps button on htc home it gives you 21 shortcuts from your homescreen.
the only other part of spb i use is the contacts page as most of my calls are covered by these 16 choices
I also have had no problems with memory issues with Mobile Shell. Love it to death.
I honestly don't think there are memory problems due to sbp mobile shell... it's moreso a memory problem in wm in general and the fact that you have appx 1.5mb less, due to having mobile shell loaded, is what makes people think it has a memory leak.
try not using it for a while and you'll see you still get your memory sucked dry... it's just a difference of 1.5mb
I've tried all the app launchers I could find. I found that they are all usefull in unique ways. The best one in my opinion is pointui. And, fortunately, it is totally free. I still chose however to remove them all and just keep the good old htc home. They all consume ram that is just too precious to the mogul. You are basically trading one struggle for another. Either you struggle with the stylus or you struggle with the ram loss. Instead I chose to just customize the appearance of my phone. The enlage start menu helps a bunch too. Now with dcd 3.2.4 I will settle the performance and patiently wait for the next titan replacement with the proper amount of ram.
Hello my wonderful community!
Recently I've switched from the old WM 6.1 to the WM 6.5 and I must admit I'm lovin the Titanium interface. Its even more usable for me than the new Manilas. But theres only one thing missing. A Titanium plugin displaying Opera bookmarks. Now I know there was Showaco's plugin for this but it doesnt work with the new Opera 9.7 as the file which stored the bookmarks for Opera seems to be gone. So my humble request... would anyone be interrested in developing a new plugin which works with the new opera? Even if its impossible to read the bookmarks from Opera or Manila, even manual adding of bookmarks for example would also do the job right? Thix for reading

I recall there is a thread with an opera fix to fix that bookmarks issue on new opera versions, and then use the existing OperaFav plugin

The fix worked for me. There are still new plugins coming out, like Playit, Speeddial or AppLauncher or JMLLauncher etc. Also JML is expanding his Today plugin to incorporate more information. Of course there not many new plugins anymore as this has been saturated and almost everything has been covered, so there is not anymore so much need.

Yes and no
I think we are only at the beginning, what's possible with Titanium (it's too much undocumented - only with the findouts which comes more and more, we get more)
Look at TouchFlo: How much "Panels" do you have? 10,12?
In Titanium there are almost 30 Plugins available - some are old, some are newer.
And I must admit - I would have ideas fo 10 more Plugins, which are not available, like writing SMS direct in Titanium, looking TV-Panel, Radio-Panel, ... and much more. And I think there are much more people here, who have ideas and could make a new Plugin.
And you could invent for each application with less or more effort a Plugin to control it or to use it - so it's almost unlimited.
Unfortunately some of the first Pioneers seems to have no more time - like Showaco or AppStar. And therefore there was a little stop 3-4month before - but no more now, I think.
But the most of the Plugins must get interactive - that's the new way to develop 'em. The must communicate with each other. The must be skinable and must get new Skins.
With JMLPanex/JMLGoto they have working Buttons and you can jump around in Titanium. You can "interact"
Contables Plugins uses this, Chris makes a great Sense Theme, and with TICS_installer it's now possible to install each Plugin to each Theme - also Bliss,Neo,Win7,SPlugins,...
And only to mention a new version with much more possibilities (Calendar for x days now possible, SMS,...) is the new JMLToday 5.5 from todays release:

Hey - Titanium is only at the Beginning - the official Release of WinMo 6.5 was... ? (Oct'09)
Micha
simply edit the first line of opera9.mscr file to read
Code:
opera = "\windows\Opera9\Profile\opera6.adr"
that is all that is needed to make it work reading bookmarks. may need to edit the path to the opera exe for the launcher if it is not in the default \windows\operal.exe
Hey,
I am creating this post because wherever I go, people have this misconception that the WinMo doesn't have apps, its not user friendly etc etc. From what I have seen in the forums ( hear hear ), I have found out that its one of the most customizable OS's out there. People say that Android has more apps, well you are not going to use all those right ? Blackberry has push blah blah. I will discuss the apps which are cutting all these platforms one by one ! These are the most essential ones, and i believe that these will be more than enough. Please add whatever you feel necessary.
Recently bought an HTC HD Mini phone. ( This is my first Smartphone btw ). After going through a lot of apps, apparently most of them are for VGA/QVGA screens.
Messaging
What Blackberry, Apple and Android promote is the concept of messaging. They have 1000's of apps for chatting etc. Palringo is one of the best messaging clients available there. Instead of downloading separate chat clients for all separate chats (like bb), better to download Palringo. You will say similar apps are there for bb n stuff, but thats the point right ? This post is for all those bb,android snobs u must have met after buying an HD Mini or HD2
Push Email
Oh, aren't those BB people charging that much money just for enterprise push email ?? And haven't you spent a fortune looking for a perfect push email solution ?? And most of winmo phones provide one sync accounts. Is this your problem ?? Well Emoze Pro which btw is free, lets you push-manage n-number of email accounts ( in my case, n=5) and its real time push. You can add n office accounts also, with OWA ( Outlook Web Access ) and Google Apps. Isn't it amazing ? The BB just got a kick in the nuts .
Interface
Well, now that we have beaten the #%$ out of the bb people with those 2 nifty apps , lets take a go at the android people. And this will be useful for those who have used sense ( there are mods for getting sense on your older phones but not sure) or some other awesome interface. Sense in my opinion is byfar the best interface available ( on my HD Mini atleast n same in HD2 with liveweather ), but if you get bored of it then obviously you have got SPB Mobile Shell.. You have to use it to experience it and I am sure you agree And how can you forget the beautiful S2P player and S2U2 utility with their beautiful sync and caller ID !! Must haves !!
Other Useful apps include :
FIM ( Facebook Instant Messenger )
Shazam
IM Plus
Premier League Pocket 10
Coreplayer
Please update more apps for the devices. I know these apps are more than enough for me ! But if you can post more I will add them !
GO WINMO !
Well, here is my list:
-G Quickswitch, it changes automatically your profiles when you need it, very useful for me coz i change between normal and vibration all day
-Memmaid for improove the performance of your phone
-Vito eye photo
-Garmin mobile xt, it saved my life!
-MySquare, which i found in this forum and it's a nice app
-Vito sms chat, i hate WM sms interface and couldn't change it with astronout method so i downloaded this program and it works fine.
and the best games:
-groovy jump
-resco bubbles
It's a troll topic
Is there no must have, only what you think it's usefull for your use
I absolutely need these on my Xperia x1i:
ROM: WM 6.5 826x ROM (http://826x.blogspot.com/2010/02/rom-826x-wm-655-build-23541-w-htc-sense.html)
SPB Mobile shell (not free, but absolutely amazing)
A_C's S2U2 and S2P (http://www.ac-s2.com/)
Resco Explorer 2008(not free either but after using it, normal file explorer seems
TomTom 7 Navigator GPS (Garmin's good too but I prefer TomTom)
SPB Keyboard isn't exactly a must as the Xperia has a full QWERTY keyboard but there's no onscreen keyboard that comes close IMHO
keep this topic up ....
I am Newbie ... just start collecting apps and games ...
SPB Mobile Shell rocks !!!
SPB Weather (pay) - like it very much .... nice graphic
SPB Time (pay) - very good and different kind of alarms and world time
SPB Radio (pay) - a lot of radiostations ...
SPB TV (free) - also a lot of TV Channels accessible over WiFi connection with impressive good quality
SPB Games - all their games have very good graphic
SPB Home Page
Alreader - only ebookreader I need.
-No one mentioned Opera Mobile 10 and mini? Add then.
-Microsoft MyPhone for handy phone backup and anti-theft solution
-ppcpimbackup, good for backing up phone contacts, sms etc.
-msm7kcpuspeed- push CPU over limit
For me, the below are a must after every fresh flash:
ACR 1.2.4 (Automatic Call Recorder).
AppTpDate.
CleanRAM.
CorePlayer.
FingerKeyboard2.1.
IMDB Mobile.
JWMDIconChanger.
LyricsFinder 2.0.
Minesweeper 1.5.1.2.
MMTaskManager.
Mp3TagEditor_v2.0.
mVu_0.7.9.
Opera 10 Final.
PIMBackup (Cooked-in, but pretty damn essential though).
RescoExplorer2010.
ScreenOff_v1.0.
Shazam.
SRS WOWHD v1.5.1.0.
XDA Market.
Zooomer.
Most of them are in my signature.

Hi,
Quite surprisingly I have had no trouble at all in getting mobile remote desktop on my HTC HD2 connected to my PC (Win 7). All was working fine until I tried one app whose main window on the PC cannot be resized.
The main window does not fit on the mobile desktop despite having "fit remote desktop to screen" ticked.. Why has the desktop not been shrunk to fit the screen?
HTC zoom does not work because I want to make it smaller not bigger!!
How can I get round this?
Should I try a different version of windows mobile?

Dear friend ... Maybe you can try Energy WM ROM It may help But If your looking for a Remote Desktop app full working I think you should use Android's Because WM is too Old and doesn't have any option and no way to fix/change anything easily ... also if you want to have WM , you can try dual-booting and having both WPH and Android at the same time ( Just take a look at here for it ) ... but if just want android , try this ... then you can enjoy that remote desktop while you enjoy your LEO :laugh: ... Good luck

I cant seem to find a source of this ROM. Do you know a working URL where I can download it

I use too many native windows apps for Android to be a sensible alternative

I'd prefer a working WM Remote Desktop but if all else fails, maybe I'll give this a go
Thanks for the thoughts.
Well ..

Well Dear friend ... As you said the links are down so you can try Artemis ( some how better )
-about the next ( about apps ) I should say that if you use a Sense 2 /3 ( 2 is better ) your idea will change ... my recommended ROm is this
- about the last I should say that if you Dual-boot , you can use Both WPH ( Winphone 7.8 ) and Android ( 4.4.2 - Sense 3 / 3.5 / 2.1 ,.. )at the same time which is really helpful to people who need WPH and long battery life at the same time ...
Good luck

Thanks for the prompt reply.
1. I'll try Artemis
2. Most of the apps I am interested in are specialised apps not available on Android - hiking maps, golf statistics, and old MS DOS program etc
3 WPH7.8 is simply too hard to use your own apps on. If you cant get the app from the MS market place (or whatever it is called) it seems you cant run it. As far as I can tell without actually doing it, it will be easier to run these specialised native windows apps on an iPhone that get them working on Windows 7.,8!!!
If course, I could always pay $$$ to upgrade the app but why should I when it works fine!
BTW What size partition in the NAND does Artemis require? I/ve read of sizes anywhere between 85Mb and 135Mb for different ROMS

@kuzibri might be able to answer your Artemis questions. Hope he is able to respond to my mention.:fingers-crossed:
WPH deserves a try ... but it's all your choice ...

Well to some extend your right ... but WPH is very smooth - has almost all the WM apps also more - has good MS support - etc ( it sure deserves a try I'm just sure of it ... If didn't like , you can switch back to WM ) ... it's called marketplace and is great ... also you can search for your apps in google and install them yourself ( almost all MS apps are ported into WPH ) WPH has ability to run high Graphic apps / games which was to main week point of WM it has almost all XboX games ... Well about the partition you'd better look the main thread on XDA here ... Good luck
