Hi there all you alpine lovers , since i figured that there was no way that there will ever be a wm5 for the alpine and i myself love my Imate pda2 very much..i wanted to do something new with this site that so far no one else has done...since i was really curious to know how the alpine really looked like from the inside and what really powered it up so i took the chance and managed to take a few shots... i hope this may help you guys in anyway...and guys even though the alpine may never come across a chance to get a wm5 running atleast..just look on the bright side..wm2003 are much mre stable and there are lots of softwares out there to customize it to look better and besides its makes one hell of a powerful mean machine!!!
request
and guys if any1 knows where to get an upgrade for the radio rom 1.04 please do let me know...
Yeah! Alpine is a great machine! I will wait for upgrade until Windows CE 6 PDAs will show up.
bushako
yeah that be something if there was a wm6 made available for the alpine but personally i doubt there will be one...it might be that the hardware requirement would not match up for the wm6 however what i would really really really really appreciate it if someone out there can atleast even give us a little hope that there is a wm5 OS available for it...in my opinion i think that since the xda2(himalaya) has been in the market for years n years,lol(unlike the alpine which was released only about 3years back) and so alot of people out there thought of reseurecting it back to life by somehow releasing a wm5 for it...so guys i think you should wait a looooooongtym,lool...b4 a miracle can happen and some gifted person would bring it back to life...
Is it possible to upgrade Alpine with higher resolution camera inside? like 2M or 3M pixels?
There are already internal photo's around. if you read the early linux pages you'll find a post popped up with the images, although since then I've moved server and the link no longer works. If you can get them they have a higher res and display very big and clear.
i love this big machine,

i doubt that would be possible...since the camera picture quality resolution has to be setup through its camera settings...even though if there is a possible way to attach a higher resolution lens, the options in the camera settings menu allows only a maximum resolution of 960*1280 pixels...unless you have found a way to upgrade your xda2i with another CE ROM
Camera model
Does anyone know the make of the camera in Alpine?
Thanks!
tnx for pictures

I was wondering is it possible to put the camera from a Sony Ericson K700i (or even better K750i) into the o2 xdaIIi or am I living in a fantasy world?
And if its not possible then is there something out there that can replace the god awful camera already in it ? whether it be a hardware or software update.
:shock: ???!!!!!
I think that is not gonna be the easyest thing. Psobably is possible but don't think it would be worth the hassle.
Is it hardware or software you are talking of :shock:
I tried the hadrware with super glue but did not work :lol: :lol: :lol:
:shock: ???!!!!!
:shock: ???!!!!!
hard or soft?
I'm talking about either lol I want the thing to take a decent photo lol its a 1.3 MP lol the crappy xdaIIs is a 0.3 MP and takes better pics rofl
The problem with the camera, as far as I understand, is that an O2 'upgrade' which is included in the firmware actually makes the camera quality much worse than without the 'upgrade' patch (which is installed on a hard reset / very first boot of the device).
I think it was Pug who cooked a version of the rom without this camera 'upgrade', and without all of the O2 stuff, you can find it if you search around on this forum.
Hello. I've been following the Kaiser thread ever since I heard about it, and with the same anxiety of the owners of that phone i've been waiting for the miraculous drivers to appear. I'm looking forward to upgrade from a HP hx2750, to a new pda with phone. After a few research I concluded that the pdas the fit my need are the HTC p3600 (trinity), p3600i (500Mhz processor version) , the Tytn 2 Kaiser or the coming Eten X800 and the I-mate 8502 which in my option is the best off all those but I doubt it will be available sooner than April 2008.
From all those the p3600i and tytn 2 seemed more appealing. So I have to pick between the p3600i (since i'd rather have more ROM and processor speed though paying a bit more) or the kaiser, tytn 2.
I like to play videos, take pictures and once in awhile play a few games, but also have a decent scrolling and browsing speed since I'm used to the hx2750 wm6, BUT, i'm not sure if the drivers will ever be made or work properly... in other words I wouldn't like to have a crippled phone as expensive as that kaiser(not getting contract!). The p3600i looks great is not so buggy but doesn't have keyboard and this is something I always missed in the hx2750. Neither I know if the keyboard in the end is really that useful cause it looks very hard to type in...
I heard better things from htc in past times but now they don't seem to care for consumers opinion, so that's another question. I dunno if it's better to get the kaiser and wait for drivers or get something more solid. I heard new windows 6.1 will come out soon, so might be a help or push to fix problem. I prefer more the kaiser but the p3600i is impressive too...
So i'm here asking for whoever wants to share its opinion... What's the best buy p3600i or tytn2 (kaiser, tilt)?
Is htc giving up the kaiser for real?(no more drivers, no more production of that model? And does the p3600i as any issue too?
P.S:I really refer to the p3600i not the updated p3600(trinity)
Thanks in advance...
there's great difference:
p3600i is 1 year older.
But if You are happy with USB1.1, 64MB RAM, no qwerty-keyboard (npt really nessecary), miniSD (not microSD), 1,9 MP camera. Then You will get 1500mAh Li-ion battery instead of 1350 and InfraRed port and a 500Mhz processor instead of a 400Mhz.
Compare:
http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=pdacomparer&id1=820&id2=733
I don't really see the difference between the microsd and minisd (size?), the difference between the 128MB and 64MB ram dunno if it's highly noticeable but seems that the p3600i might compensate it with proper video playback and proper rendering... 500Hz or 400Hz processor ... still doesn't tell me too much cause in the end the difference in RAM can minimize it (i think, I didn't or cannot benchmark both devices)? Neither regarding the 2MP or the 3MP camera.
The longer battery life, and less buggy performance are the good side of the p3600i ... but still seems a hard decision to make and the keyboard looks handy to write mails or editing text... Would be cool if someone who had both devices gave an opinion about it
At first i have p3600i then i buy the tytnII but when i use the tytn II with the room (schap's,orginal,dutty's) i change the tytnII with P3600i
1- the camera in tytnii is not realy work fine means the picture is no cleare
2- i see the tuch screen don't have good recognize and sensity
3- i find the best speed in the p3600i
4- battery life in p3600i is very gooood
for the memory i use the micro HC4GB with the convertor to mini and it is work gooood
....
sorry for my bad english
Got a TYTN 2

Well in the end I got the tytn mainly cause of the keyboard! I sure miss the 624MHz processor of the HP 2750 and the 3'5 inch screen smoothness but now I got stick with this one. I found weird that such a high end product performs so bad but the only thing I would ask for would be a smoth scroll in general...
Do flash your TyTn II with a new rom.
Believe me, it really gets better.
I've got the dutty rom, and i've got no compaints about scroll speeds .
I'm very happy with my device now!
Problem with custom ROMS

Well I would... but the thing I don't like about those cooked roms is that they bring extra stuff I would discard. There's no need for extra software since that I have. I would like to find a rom that improves performance and updates HTC software without adding other stuff... For example the 4PDA rom I have on the hx2750 just has windows mobile without extras which is ver good since I can decide what to install and save space like this... after in a pda every mega counts!

u may check the new tnt rom, I think there is a lite version with just a few apps.
hi peeps, i currently have a kaiser loving it although know i knows theres better
my question to you is, my upgarde is in two days what do i go for
the nokia n95 8gb
htc touch diamond
iphone (ha ha)
or the samsung omnia
i think ive already decided but i want to see your views on this, although apparently the omnia has no d3d acceleration, but does that mean the camera will be odd as with the kaiser, and i remember some one saying on a poll i did that if i got n95 id not be here, which is true i like this place, some you help a lot and i could get ,y head around a non winmo fone.
nb if the mods see fit to move this then go ahead i only posted as im currently based on this device therefore appreciate the opinions of the kaiser users, rather than the enitre forums

The HTC Touch Pro
i agree, touch pro, diamond, or xperia
Touch Pro (its an improved diamond so i will shortlist, Touch pro has video out man, present or movie directly to screens and projectors)
xperia have you heard about the RUMOR WM6.5 its probably just a rumor but Sony Ericsson will surely introduce something powerful but non-official support might be limited! htc is taking the lead..
iPhone do you mean you wanna cross to the other side of technology
Omnia looks pretty but Odd resolution and bad graphics run a search
Dude after this thread you made me think of a new toy too
not bothered about the odd resolution. but define bad graphics?
and touch pro aint on my network yet, and as above im upgrading in two days so no expaeria
and diamond only has 4gb of inbuilt memory. and no expansion slot. im not think this be wise move
and the iphone was a joke

How long do you have time to choose a new phone? In the Netherlands you can choose (with most providers) a new phone 2 months in advance of your new contract. I waited 6 weeks until The Kaiser was available.
well i an decide from anytime i want but i put the order in in two days.
i tell you whatll decide it for me. if some one can answer
how well does the camera perform, does it fudder when panning like the kiser how fast is the capture
and
how goos are videos. the only way i can watch a decent video on the kaiser is switching to raw framebuffering on tcpmp, everything else is knackered
so does it??
i want to know how well it takes photos coz i kno the kaiser is a bit slow on the uptake
and how well it can display videos
does it have a driver
thats the omnia ordered.
less than 24 hours away
Keep us posted bro...I'm also contemplating on getting the omnia..or if the touch pro isn't it then probably I will wait for the official T3....TyTN 3.....
due to unforseen shipping errors, the company thats supposed to deliver my omnia havent. shouldve been here
cool its here it stunning. uncomparabvle to the kaiser, they are just toio different markets.
and im finally able to watch a massive divx movie without the skipping a checking wether im switched to raw framebuffer
Hi all,
I've been flashing my phone with a few different ROMs today to try them out, and in each one my camera is really slow. The response rate of the software and framerate of the picture is appaling (I'm talking one or two refreshes a second at best). I've read about changing the radio part of the ROM but that seems to apply for cameras that are black.
Any suggestions?
Thanks for some great work!!!!
Ya know I am having the same problem as well, and have since I got my Kaiser/AT&T Tilt. I have flashed Dutty's WM 6.1 Rom onto it as well along with a bogus fix I found on here using a method of blacking out the lens and then holding the camera button but unfortunately have not had any luck. This is the only gripe I have is that the Camera on my Kaiser ssucks. Everything else is absolutely world class mini-computing and phone quality.
If anyone can find a way to upgrade the camera software I expect great things from a 3 megpxl camera.
Let me know what you find out and thank you in advance for the possibility of someday in the future to serve you or your family with their commercial and or residential Real Estate financing needs.
Sincerely,
hey i know this i kind of off topic but... dont know where else to post or any other site with the brains thats on here...
I was just wondering would it be possible to port winmo 6.5 to the Satio... with like the camera UI... or would it be like a MOUNTAIN of work?... just curious cuz i cant switch from winmo now that ive been using for awhile... its just the best!!!
Is Satio already out??
first i think it would be very hard, it uses symbian. it would be have driver issue's, i think. it wouldn't be easy. it uses different CPU than the WM phones.
creative imagination! I know that wm6 has been run in iphone ,but performs badly.
I'm curious about that what's point of Satio attracting you?
the design is just off the charts!!! the camera, the processor and its pretty slim...
but i will probobly just buy the X2 hehe i own the x1 now and its the best phone ive used so far just hope the x2 can top it!!!
.
I have just purchased the new satio. The camera is fantastic, build quality excelent and the screen is up there with the iphone. But the s60 operating system is a bit of a let down. I love the new WM6.5 (I have it running on an ipaq 614). It is way beyond me to even begin looking at porting the operating system across but is there anyone out there who would like to give it a go. I would be very grateful and I suspect there may be others who share my view.
