I have a certain program that works fine on all of my other work related PDA's (PPC 6700, XV 6700, Old as dirt Toshiba E310).
I tried it on the plain jane WM5 rom and even upgraded to a WM6 version yet no dice.
My question is:
Is there a possibility that because of the different processor type (Intel versus the 8525's) it may not work?
Thanks for anything you may be able to share!
Would you happen to know the name of this "certain program"?
I guess your program was written for WinCe / Windows Mobile 2003 devices, that is why it won't work on a WM5 / WM6 device. The API in the newer devices is quite different!
Solution:
try to find a newer, up-to-date, equal application ...
Well, I am pretty certain that the program was written for WM2003, but the program works for WM2002, WM2003, WM5, and WM6 on other devices.
Any thoughts?
**Removed program name**
I work for the company, so its not pirated per say, and its used for work purposes, but not on the intended device (which is WM5 btw)

Hi guys,
Quick newbie question:
I have had an XDA for about 8 months and am interested in the new XDA2, particularly now that O2 has dropped the price to £199.
My question is; Does the majority of XDA software work on the XDA2? I ask because I have installed a lot of software on my XDA (ie TomTom2, PocketTV player, Program/Battery Pack, Acrobat Reader, games and many more) and it would all seem a waste if I couldn't install these on the XDA2.
Many thanx
Munkee
xda2 use intel xcale and xda1 use intel arm cpu they are codecompatible
so unless it's software written specialy for special hardware which is not directly cpu related
it should work just like software from ipaq's works on both systems aswell
the issue however is that not all programs written for ppc2002 works on ppc2003
pda's are much like pc's when it comes to the fact that software written for one brand of pda works on all other pdas using the same OS, (though it may have to be recompiled if the other PDA use another cpu like mips or some other which is not code compatible with the cpu of xda1 and 2)
Thanks for the reply, Rudegard.
Will it work with this phone?
Don´t know it exactly, but i think, the memory and the cpu will be to low for running TomTom 6. There aren´t any specs for the requirements, but the compatibility list just starts with the BlueAngel / Magician.
Stefan
well, tomtom navigator 5 is running smoothly - indeed faster than the tomtom go devices !
You may overclock your wizard during running tomtom. And i assume that tomtom 6 will have similar requirements and should run smooth either.
But he has the oldest device (Wallaby). Don´t now how much RAM will be required for running correctly. If it´s just a 32 MB Version it could be hard to handle.
But why doesn´t you stay at the TomTom 5 you already have?
Stefan
Just wait and buy legal copy WHEN IT IS ON SALE of TomTom Navigator 6 guys... It is not that expensive buy... just leave one weekend without drinks and you have it
thanks

Legal aspect are all time welcome, but that doesn´t answer his question. If the software will not work with his device, he will have more from the money when he stays a weekend with drinks. ;-)

I just upgraded my rom version to version 4.20.0 (build 13252) because tomtom 6 would not run.
At this time a message appears with
YOUR DEVICE IS NOT COMPATIBLE with this version of Tomtom.
I guess the wallaby with 32 Mb ram is the problem.
I just stick to navigator 5.21
Unless some1 has the solution to run tt6 on a wallaby

Sure you have Version 4.20.0? This Version is completly unknown to me... From where do you have it?
Stefan
Oops my mistake, I wrote down the windows version for my wallaby.
My version is 4.01.12 eng with rom date 12/22/03 radio version 4.01
have tried this on my phone the same as yours tomtom6 will not run keeps frezzing phone then have to soft reset again
I am running it on a 64mb xda using wm2003se v 4.21.1088 if that helps at all?
Anyone remember the fiasco with missing video drivers for the 6800?
I was wondering if there has been any progress from HTC, or from individual users, in providing some basic video drivers for the Mogul.
I can't stand the sluggish UI! What options do I have? What have you guys done to your phones to make it better?
Also, I've been running Android 1.0, and it seems like it runs OpenGL ES demos just fine. So does Android have its own drivers for Qualcomms, too?
Edit: Is Android *capable* of being flashed to the Titan? Being run without the overhead of Winmo? And does Winmo actually run entirely in the background? That sounds awful!
the MSM7xxx drivers were released at least for most devices but i dont know if titan supports them. if you have tested wm6.5 latest releases you'll see it runs pretty good for a device that was actually for wm5.
on the android thing, i guess it is "possible" to flash android but its too dangerous so i think that might be the reason it hasnt been done.
winmo doesnt run in background, after Haret is executed it shutsdown winmo completly, if this is not done then android cannot be ran due to the lack of ram.
I know very little of BlueTooth, so this may be a very silly question, but I was wondering. I have some problems with the A2DP connection, it skips and pauzes, a problem I didn't have with my Touch HD. So I was wondering:
Is it possible to cook a custom rom which uses the MS BT-stack rather thant he Widcomm one?
I would like to know this as well.
Been looking around @ the Touch Pro2 forums (that uses the widcomm / broadcom stack too) and I think the answer's no... it's well known that the widcomm stack is ****e and doesn't implement all the stuff that the MS one has, hence the BT probs ppl have.
Although this topic belings elsewhere I really hope driver updates help fix the horrible A2DP quality, not great in HD2 even tweaked out the max.

actually it's the other way round (although I'm not sure about the current version of widcomm in HD2), I've had windows mobile phones for the last 4-5 years, and MS BT stacks has always been inferior compared to Widcomm.

well, it's inferior for me because I can't use BlueInput with the widcomm stack
A quick search for the term "touch pro2 bluetooth stack" also brings up a bunch of links of people having issues with the widcomm stack (like this for example: http://wmpoweruser.com/?p=10696).
I'm sure they've probably improved the stack since then, but seeing as some people still have problems I'd rather have the standard MS stack where possible instead.
It should be possible on custom ROMs, but as far as I know it's not possible to change the stock BT stack on HTC official ROMs.
I also know bluetooth very little, what makes BT stack differently, hardware or software??
I remember back in 2004, we all were dying to replace the Microsoft BT stack with Widcomm one
Well to keep it simple, the bluetooth stack can be considered a mix between the drivers required for bluetooth to work and a series of apps/services which allow the device to use and work with different BT profiles (like device discovery, bluetooth serial port, A2DP, etc)...
Sounds like drivers to me. I know that on my PC, if I use a bluetooth device I can use the manufacturers drivers/tools or I can just use the default M$ ones. I wonder if it can happen then when custom roms become available?
Please please please put the MS stack back in chefs! The rubbish Widcomm one won't play nice with a lot of devices and apps (like MSVC)
HTC HD2 bluetooth stack & BMW ULF
There is a worldwide demand for the HD2 to work with the later ULF's for BMW built in car kits. If a ROM can be cooked to replace the Widcomm with the MS Stack I am sure there will be many downloads and donations from gratefull end users. Jetware would probably then work allowing tweaking between car and phone.
has anyone considered porting WM6.1 or (6.5) to this device?
it's a strange request i know, but i am very interested to know if it's possible. i read that the X1 and X2 ran WM6 so i thought that might be a starting point if some of the drivers would be similar.
the background to this is that i have 50 guys running around the countryside with HTC HD2s operating in a DIY kiosk mode, doing farm audits on a WM6 app i've developed for a client. these devices are discontinued now and running out of supply. i'd like to stick with the Windows platform and the range of WM7 devices is very poor, and don't get me started on the Marketplace publishing bureaucracies. WM6 is a great platform for business use, and i'm curious to know if it will ever run on the excellent range of android devices?
AFAIK, Windows Mobile isn't open source and it hasn't ported to android devices.
But I think it's possible to run Windows 95.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
