W7b7k rocks! - Off-topic

my god, windows7 is about 70.3 times better than Vista..
You only understand how much vista really sucks after installing w7

Oh so true. I love it

man its not really that great its ok but cant even find the second hard drive on my laptop which both vista and xp can see with no help at all it still has loads o flaws and bugs...

I did notice (for your safety really as it is beta) that windows 7 does not "mount" some hard drives, you have to assign a drive number to them. And other than specific programs not working because they read the OS name/build, everything runs great and I have been running it as my main OS, and have actually had it seem more stable than even vista.

I tested v7 out for w few hrs.. Its BETA. But i guess if you must enjoy MS OS's, it is a step in the better direction then VISTA. Vista is pretty stable for me, but then again my BSD PC has an uptime 300+ days. Ill PAY for an MS OS when i can get a stable long upstanding OS!

Holy ****. What do you do all year? You left your PC on for almost a whole year?

Actually, considering it's not the final release, this is WONDERFUL. it's not even final and it's already better than vista. the drive mounting problem will be solved. the dx11 is better than the dx10.. runs every game faster and smoother..
I finished running consistancy tests on it and it kills vista in every aspect. also notice that file transfer is so much faster that you can't even compare the two.
btw, i love the tray interface

just dumped vista (home prem x64)
god it sucks on my new pc......
will try 7 when RC comes out....will stick with good old xp for now

W M 7
Yeah but can you connect to ActiveSync?
Show of hands, how many people here are sick and tired of answering, " help me, I can't connect my phone to activesync, it won't connect " questions ?
Hopefully they solve " that " in WM 7.

As far as I know RTM version will be launched on August

I bet you'll be getting an almost fully working version even earlier.
btw, i'm working on w7 right now.. playing games.. using media and everything.. working on simluation software for my studies.. and everything is stable and working.

Win7
I downloaded winmo device manager for Vista Ultimate and Win7 found my s620 with no problem.

Acording to this trusted site: http://blogs.msdn.com/e7/archive/2009/01/30/our-next-engineering-milestone.aspx
Dates to launch Windows 7
RC (Release candidate)version: April
RTM (Release to manufacturing)version: August
GA (General availability)version: October
Of course as you mentioned there will be a way to have a fully wroking version before that dates, but not before april, unless is not original...

when vista came out as longhorn for beta/pr checks not many people sent feedbacks.
I don't like microsoft either but they are obviously not trying to screw us up.
I suggest that you send as much feedback as you can concerning problems and annoyances you stumble upon along the way while using the 7k build. there's a send feedback button on the upper right side of every window.
maybe this way we'll at-last get a good, stable and good looking os from microsoft

Win7 on old computer
I don't know if this will help anyone or not but i found this site (http://blogs.zdnet.com/Bott/?p=672) and decided to try and it worked on one of my older machines. This computer is a gateway w/1Ghz processor,512mg. of ram and a 30gig. hard drive. It actually runs better now than it did before.

I can't say i'll be using older computers... but it's great to know that it runs well..

Windows CE 6 Fully Released

But, this is a developer kit and likely virtual CE6.
And any device hasn't WinCE 6 i think, so what is important with this..
https://www.microsoft.com/windows/embedded/default.mspx
"Choose right system for your device" sad microsoft but no one have wm 2006 device.
Is any body can give better explanation here. I'm amazed...
Isnt the embedded branch quite diffrent to the mobile branch, though?
EQUANCY: AFAIK some people (at least one) do have Crossbow working on a WM5 device. So long as you get full driver support, theoretically the OS should work on existing hardware...

"There is no branch of WinCE OS's
This is a development kit and work with an emulator, You may develop pda applications in VisualBasic 2005 with this plug-in"
But i curious first of WC 2006 devices will come 2e Q'r of 2007, i find some explanation and comment about it.
And if you develop a winCE 6 application with this software... how do you publish it? for what.

but only theoretically sad you. How do you get support for unpublished operating system? I think Windows Mobile systems produced especially for devices.
Now,
If I try install Windows Mobile 2006 to my BlueAngel there is no drivers in wm2006 of Blueangel hardwares ( Bluetooth, Phonesupport etc... )
I think so..
CE 6 Has a slew of improvements, and amongst others:
* number of concurrent process increased from 32 to 32000
* mem allocation limit increased from 32MB to 2GB per process
* strict separation between user mode and kernel mode
* user mode drivers
The changes tap everywhere, including driver achitecture. I bet WM5-2003 BA drivers won't be compatible with this beast... unfortunately.

That's the whole point - IF you can get the drivers, ie if your manufacturer releases a properly made version of the OS, there's no reason why it shouldn't work on current hardware. However, like the WM5 for BA hack, it's clear that incomplete OS releases aren't perfect.
But, WM6 is working on current hardware, but it's up to the manufacturer to finalise it and release it, and somehow make some money out of their effort.

I would love to see it, but I would want to see a 100% functionally complete release of a WM5 ROM for the BA first. We are closer than ever now, with just a few niggles pending...
Imagine everyone goes ballistic on CE 6 and completely forgets about WM5. We are SO close to a perfect ROM, with the latest Helmi releases... I hope the WM5 BA ROMs get the last pieces in place before the first WM6 devices are released, so that we can have a great upgrade in our hands, and then this forum will EXPLODE with development efforts trying to shoehorn WM6 on Wizard/Universal/TyTN/Excalibur/Artemis/etc/etc/etc...
and you forgot BA

Hey, I wrote etc/etc/etc, have you missed it?
I wanted to highlight that we now have a somewhat small enthusiast community revolving around putting WM5 on a machine which only has official support for 2003SE (but packs more than enough punch to run WM5, thank you ). With the coming of CE6/WM6, ALL machines which officially run WM5 will fall into the same state of the BA, and we will have a much bigger community trying to get CE6 run run on much wider number of devices.
I believe the way to go with CE6/WM6 in xda-developers will be to have a single ROM Kitchen effort, because there are several different machines which are more-or-less the same platform. We have a TI OMAP 850 family (wizard/artemis etc), an Intel Xscale family, (himalaya/blue angel/universal etc), Now a Samsung family starting up (TyTN), I think it will make sense to have a more unified effort to put CE 6 on all these devices. I think a ROM Kitchen which covers all different devices would save duplicated effort for all devices...

Seems some ppl don't share my view... but with every release we get more features and fixes available. In the last ROMs we achieved an incredible speed boost thanks to mamaich pagepool tweak. We still have a few issues but it is very usable as-is. The next release will integrate a few fixes in power management and wifi, and we also have an alternative bluetooth stack. There is also Connection Sharing which is replacing WModem for PCs to browse using GPRS (for AKU 3.0+). We still have the problem that MS stack has a hard time on running A2DP, and the alternative Broadcom is having issues with Headset/Handsfree, but there is ongoing effort to solve it. The application compatibility problem is something inherent to the upgrade to AKU 3.0, thus not specific to BA. What else do you want?
????!!!!!!!!!!
a "Mashed Potato" maybe? joke..
I want that WM6.0 in my BA.. perfectly!!!!!!!!!

Bro it will not rock the skyes for you I'm sure!
Remember every next generation operating system is meant for better, bigger and fater devices. So WM6 will have more benefits for the newer devices not for ours. So at some point it might be better to have AKU 4 instead of the original WM6. Remember when Microsoft released the XP. Most of the people were angry because of the slugishnes... right. OK couple of years later with better machines more mem etc. nobody was complaining. Now I got my Vista and it is OK. Not faster not slower, though I put 2G of mem. Now everibody is angry because there is no drivers, when you put it on 512MB mem (where the XP excels) it will be dead as a rock.
You got my point. It is the same with the phones. Now the phones are PC and the WM5,6,7 is the OS. It was not long time ago when the PC were 500Mhz right? Our generation phones are 200Mhz. the next ones are 500Mhz and the next gen of mem is 16GB 32GB so that's what the WM6 is meant for. So don't expect too mutch. After all the OS is combination of functionality, speed, look and reliability. Ask me if I will change my company's 50 PCs with the Vista? It will not happen untill 2 years, maybe 3! After all I just want my business runing. And if I use Windows Mobile for business, ie. sales, remote access, DB etc. I will prefer cheaper mobile devices (older is OK) but with the functionality of WM6 ie. AKU5,6,7 i dont care. So this forum will stay here for long long time and it will not stop working on AKUs for WM5 until there are devices that can not sustain WM6. Of courece it will cover WM6 with AKUs...
Cheers

Blue angel has 400 mHZ
I heard that wm6 was designed to work on devices of about 200 mHZ.
I get ur point about the memory though, but we have SD cards
Hey guys, it would be better to first read about something before posting your nice but totally wrong imaginations. WinCE6 is connected with WM6 in no way. WM6 is still based on WinCE5. It is only a bit optimized and "nicefied" version of WM5.

Android os on wing?

Hi there .. i wounder how to put android on my s730
Can i have it in swedish language?
Since im a fan of linux .. used most of the distros.
So this is on my want-to-install list
Since linux is 200times better than windows and uses less "****" it would be nice to try out.
And if it doesnt work ill flash mine instead and put the new os 6.1... but i rather get linux working any ideas?

fun to see someone trying linux on a wings
going off on a tangent, not too sure about your language, I have linux server at home and eee laptop, as well as 1 vista PC, 1 vista laptop and 1 XP latop and can tell you that vista is far more advanced and resiliant then linux as a desktop OS.
Windows Mobile is also one of MS's best. Very fast and stripped down, surprisingly still using the NT kernel. An amazing OS invention which is still one of the best HALs, allowing use on any CPU. Linux started as a monolithic kernel and only became component based in version 2 . NT kernel is well ahead.
Meanwhile I love my eee PC 900 on xandros. All OSes, inc. Apple (shock/horror) have their + and - points.
.... end of rant.

Linux is still a monolithic kernel today, and it's a design decision.

HTC Wing / P4350 (Herald) is very similar to HTC Wizard, so on all linux -related
issues one should check the Wizard development.

For the real support 800x400 we have to wait for WM7.x
Hi SatScan. Can you elaborate please? Are you saying that in fact it won't be easy to update the HD to WM6.5, but we'll need to wait until WM7? Do you think WM7 is likely to be much more resource intensive, such that the memory and CPU of the HD wont be adequate?

Windows Mobile 6.1 supports WVGA already, so why 6.5 should not support it?
Yesterday I've tried the beta WM6.5 build that is floating on the web. I hope that what I've seen is all due to the beta state of the build.
Many many things don't work. For example, g-sensor doesn't work, camera doesn't work, all "not hardware buttons"(phone button, home button...), work like softkey...
But I've to say that yesterday was only a try, I've done all in a speedy way. I'll try other things in these days. I hope these things can be fixed.

That's a worderfull news!
Windows 7, Windows mobile 7 and office 14 are all very likely to be released at the same time, late 2009 / v.v.v.early 2010 latest January.
Yes, but as I've said for now all it's really buggy. The principal problem is that autorun doesn't work with this build, then many things releted to it don't work.
In addition, I've tried to use some of the cabs to make working the new WM6.5 today but for now it doesn't work, when I install them I do a soft reset then the device freeze before opening the today, same thing if I cook they directly into the rom. I've tried in different ways but for now nothing to do.
But I'll see what I can do in the next days.

The fastest Windows version in currently Windows 7 build 7022... see the review

XTReview has just released a very very interesting benchmark of the latest build of Windows 7 leaked on the internet.
The results are very interesting .. because it is currently the fastest system ... even faster than XP SP3 (but in average it's very close, we can't really say that it is faster .. but as Win7 increases usability... it is not that untrue to say that).
If they keep working that hard on performances, Win 7 should be the fastest windows (between XP, Vista and 7 .. because others are not interesting to compare because of different drivers and features).

drivers...

Hey all!
I just got a new kaiser, currently am using a clean 6.5 rom.
I've been searching the internet for the past few days because my phone runs programs slowly, the scrolling is laggy (compared to my asus p535 witch is 3 years old). I found out that it has some drivers missing for it to run smoothly, but all the info i found is like two years old like 2008 may or so... I found that 3d drivers are available but the 2d are not yet fixed. Since this information is 2 years old i thought maybe someone can update me slightly? are the drivers fixed now? or will i never have the opportunity to enjoy my new device as a powerfull pocket pc?
Thanks in advance.

No award982, your phone does not sucks!
First the reason for your mobile programs run slowly does not mean that you are needing to change the drivers!
I have a Kaiser and it works very fast! In my experiences with several different versions of ROM, Windows Mobile 6.5 always ran slower than the 6.1!
I do not recommend trying to install any drive other than that already comes in its ROM. You have to find a ROM that works perfectly as you want!
I can recommend you 2 ROM for Kaiser: ( this is what I liked )

You can find a lot of stuff that can help with touchscreen sensitivity and smoother scrolling, just search for it. Try Advanced configuration tool and KaiserTweaks, they got lots of useful tweaks. Dont give up, Kaiser is a great phone, when you set it by your taste, you~ll see!
