HI All,
I managed to find an RUU upgrade ROM for the nike to windows mobile 6.1 but i am sure there must be something better out there to make the phone a little more pleasing to the eye and probably more functionality added in as a bonus.
does anyone know where i can get the single file ROM upgrade to win mob 6.5.
i have had a look at some kitchens but havent had the chance to look in to what they do, any advice would be appreciated.
Cheers
There's plenty of choice in these forums. Personally I'm using this WM 6.5 one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=500021 and loving it.
Hi All,
I am sure this topic has been answered many times however I tried a search and cannot find the information I require. I would like to take My verizon Wireless vx6800 and uprade from WinMo 6.1 to 6.5. I have found alot of nice builds on this website. I would like to use the 6.5 designed by Ryan Mogul. My questions however is to just install 6.5 do I need to unclock my phone? I don't want to switch carriers or anything. I want to be able to have 6.5 and have MMS and GPS. I want all of the original functionality. Do I need to also get a radio cab as well as an MMS/GPS cab?
I'm sorry for the long post as I am still VERY new to this.
Thank You in advance.
NVM. i figured it out. I did ALOT of reading and after the better part of a few hours I now have 6.5 on my phone.
i was just wondering if a hero can run wm 6.5 and would it be worth it.
Well... while in theory it's probably possible to write an emulator or even hack Windows Mobile to work with different hardware, it's highly unlikely that anyone has bothered to do so. So the short answer is, no, get a Hero if you want to use Android, or get another phone if it's Windows Mobile you want.

i dont think it would be worth it. the hero is an awesome phone, but it isnt anything special hardware wise. if you want winmo it would be a whole lot easier to just buy a winmo phone. i reckon more people are interested in doing the opposite. i would love to have android on my TP2.

Why no, the why wouldnt you want to part i understand.
Seeing the new HD 2 running on wm 6.5 WITH a captive touchscreen and
about all the hardware being the same on the winmo phones (diamond2)
makes me think it is possible, but still it would be easier to just buy a winmo phone...
Could this be a sticky. I have a feeling this going to a frequently asked annoying question. It has already been asked several times.... Want a Windows phone buy a windows phone.

Why buy a windows phone when the Hero suits your visual demands and is able to run wm 6.5
I can imagine people not buying the hero for it's looks, same with the diamond2
Imagine me loving the hero phone but don't want to leave winmo... would be great
if it can run on it.
Whilst I'm sure it is possible that some enterprising chef could cook up and post up a WM6.5 ROM for the Hero, it would be removed instantly because it would be warez.
The Hero didn't come with WinMo, and therefore doesn't come with a licence to run WinMo. I'm sure someone would argue that they've an old WinMo device and want to "transfer" their licence to the Hero, but the chef could still find themselves being pursued by MS.
The same is not true in reverse of course, because Android is open source, but we've already seen Cyanogen receive a C&D letter from Google for distributing their closed source binaries with his ROMs.

Nah, you wouldn't want to put WinMo on the Hero.
BUT I have an old Orange SPV which runs an old WinMo, could I put Android on to that ?

Go to your carrier's website and see if they have it. If they don't (which I believe that to be the case), then you have to go with someone's cooked rom.
no upgrade
There is currently no official stock upgrade to wm 6.5 for the alltel touch pro and i don't believe that there is going to be one now that we are verizon. with the touch pro 2 out they will be concentrating on that instead of the original touch pro.
ya i figure as much ok,
Kinda found one
This isn't exactly what you are looking for, but it's pretty close.
Try This
DUDE
DUDe you roxx thxs!
I was wondering if I am able to upgrade my WM 6.1, for a Touch Pro I just bought that is on Bell's Network, to Wm 6.5. I am very new at this internal tweaking of smartphones so any advice would be appreciated!
