Hey guyz, i just want to know before upgrading my sx66 that if it will slow down my device, and the windows media player too!, thx :?:
Hi
Unfortunately, yes.
However, it's still possible to overclock device a bit.
WM2005 offers better battery life, but I don't know if you can achieve the same batt time with overclocked cpu.
Also note that WM2005 is still buggy.
There's no problem with returning to WM2003SE though.
have fun
and how can you overclock the device, can u explain that process plz.. thx
Pocket Hack Master can help you with your overclocking problems..
If you don't want to use pocket hack master (which is a good but a little complicated tool), search forum for "mamaich" "wm2005" "overclocking". You should find a thread where a small wm2005 overclocking tool (by mamaich) was posted.
I see that we still have a lot problems with w5 on our beloved blue angels.
Now, my question is: what is a major benefit to go from fast and reliable SE 2003 to W 5.0?
it's sluggish, unstable.
so, why we all upgrading-downgrading our devices up and down, is this a justified action to get a better OS or our desire to try something new?
Something new. :wink:
WM5 is a lot better than WM2003 but the problem is that there is no specefic official version of wm5 for blueangel, so developers reverse engineer other versions of WM5 and the leaked one from MS , to create stable OS. Latest WM5 versions are quite stable. None forces you to try WM5 if you don't like it downgrade and use WM2003
it's not about forcing me or someone to use w5.0, but what's better in this OS, what do you mean by saying better ? speed, stability extra functionality ?
I simply like it better
Its like WinMe vs WinXP
Well said TB. Kinda like, why are people instrested in Windows Vista? Windows XP work dunit? Acuttaly, don't answer that one.
Guys, you are talking very subjectivly:
like-don't like.
win me and win xp is quite dif. OS. Upgrading to XP gives us very stable reliable system with much more functionalities.
I simply like to see what extra features are in wm5, which are not available in SE.
so far we have OS with not 100% working BT, MMS, terrible ActiveSync, poor phone, etc.
I am very grateful to guys workimg on these ROMs, and thank them of course, but my question: is wm5 better than SE at all and what this better stuff is?
COM,
flashing OS takes about 15 mins. So, flash WM5, play with it. U can always go back to WM23.
And Wm5 to Wm2 is not like ME to XP. More like Win2K vs Win2K+service packs.
Well for me its a Me vs XP (My SE kept crashing and crashing, doublesending the same SMS, not sending MMSes at all, freezing when cancelling calls). WM5 drops Bluetooth connections, does strange things with the hw keyboard and works quite slow (I overclocked the CPU to 531MHz, it works... usable). But at least I can use my PHONE as a PHONE.
I agree with TB
I have many problems with 2003SE, 3-4 daily resets, because it hangs, when the battery and backup battery drains out you loose everything(such as in hard reset). I have no such problems with WM5 it is much stable and it is slower than 2003 but in the recent WM5 roms (Ivan's and Tuatara) the speed is improved and stability is much better than 2003SE
I like WM5 because it looks better, and the soft keys are very usefull. and you get to show off the nice and hard work of Mamaich, Tuatara and all others and say that xda-dev kicks ass!!!!
well, from what you are saying: wm5 is more stable !
Thanks, this is an advantage no doubt. let's hope we will soon get the final version from our gurus here.
By the way, should wm5 be a hardware independent OS, like windows XP and portable from one PDA to another?
Better not - due to XP's portability it eats up so much resources :| If you wanna try it yourself - Linux for example compiles (is compiled ) in order to match the HW configuration of the computer, while WindowsXP 'HasItAll, but mostly unusefull for your current hardware' :|
A new OS, which prevents your data from loss even at significant battery discharge, comfortable control without a stylus, improved Office Mobile. Noticeable cosmetic advantages.

Will there every be a BA Official WM5 release
no, microsoft made one and distrobuted it to the telecos but it is there decision whether to release it. as far as i can tell they will never do this as it doesn't make buisiness sense, why give a free wm5 update away when if you keep it too yourself people are gonna buy a new phone to get it?
but.. we are keeping our phones anyway hehehehe :twisted:
(that's why we are on this phorum. Anyway..)
Hi,
I am using O2 XDA IIs for more than 8 months. I eagerly waited for the O2 update, as HP had offered to its ipaqs.But it was very disappointing that , instead of giving software updates; o2 started to show new models with Windows Mobile 5.0. I tried even from Microsoft site for upgrades, but that was a futile attempt.Then I finally decided to upgrade from XDA-developres.
You have to understand that major advantafe of WM5 over the Wm2003se is that data is not volatile; so there is no need to backup now and then.Secondly fast and secure.The major problem is that it needs faster processor. I hope it is helpful.

WM5 is slower than WM2003SE. WM5 best offering is persistent storage.
It is because it has NAND based rom. So, it doesnt offer XIP
Yes it is a lil slower than 2003 but it hte rom is properly build (Ivan and Tuatara roms) you will find no diference for speed, bu you will find a lot more stability. The CPU is not so important, we see devices with 200 MHz CPU to run WM5 just fine (Prophet and Wizard), of course they have a lil problems with multitasking but thay have only 200 MHz CPU, so you have to expect some lag. Blueangel have more than enough resources to run and operate WM5, we just need a properly tweaked rom for this device.
I just got a treo 750 with WM6 on it. And i am going to turn around and sell it today because the OS is so slow. You click on something and it takes 1-3 seconds for anythign to switch pages etc. I know that the 300mhz processor is not enough computing power for a system like this but i was wondering if anybody thought that WM6 was the issue?
When i used to use an axim x50v and i upgraded to WM6 i had to do all kinds of registry edits to get it to run at a reasonable speed.
has anyone been able to overvlock their Tilt or Kaiser? does
XCPUScalar work with it?
http://www.immiersoft.com/
Nope that software wont work seeing as it requires XSCALE or TI OMAP (OMAP850 and OMAP1510) processors. And i believe the kaiser uses qualcomm

I thought i remember them adding support to the Hermes, which it says has a samsung processor, but also uses an earlier qualcomm chip. (what?).
any word on that?
It is for Kaiser or Tilt. It will not work.
So has anyone found a good overclocking application for the Tilt/Kaiser?
this is very weird but i've been using XCPUScalar on my AT&T 8525 for the past year now.
I've set it to autoscale from 200mhz<15% 300<30% 472<60% 500-61-100%.
Previously with WM6 the only issue i had was my Messaging button on the top left did not work but the IE button still worked which i had linked to Opera 8.5 instead.
I now have WM6.1 with TFlo2d and running XCPU Scalar just fine with all the buttons running and it DOES make my TFlo a bit smoother and saves my battery life when the phone is not in use.
My CPU is Samsung 2442A
Any other reports of this working on the 8525?

Lately I've been getting frustrated by the delay my phone has when using different UI's. To be specific... PointUI. I notice alot of lag when scrolling from screen-to-screen, loading the program, exc.
So to my question... is it possible to speed up this processing time? Kinda like overclocking a PC. I don't have much besides Dutty's new ROM, Google Maps and PointUI installed so I don't think I should be "overloading" the phone in any way.
I love the phone and it's ability to adapt to so many differnt ROM and UI's. But damn! This phone is friggin slow as hell.
As of right now, there are no overclocking apps compatible with the Qualcomm CPU in the Kaiser.
I rarely experience any screen freezes on my Tilt, so I would lean towards one of your installed apps as the source.
Hmm, so OMAP doesn't work? The only phone I ever tried overclocking was the Wing, and I used OMAP with it, it think

I believe that OMAP is only for Intel chips.
