Is there a unified search program for Windows Mobile? Like the one on the Pre or the IPhone where you start typing and it searches your contacts, programs, and the internet? I'm doing some software updates on my AT&T Tilt to make it look more modern. I'm using the latest PDACorner WM 6.5 ROM (X2.V2), with Ibrythill's WM 7 Titanium Project, TaskFacade, and a couple of other programs to breath a lot of life in my phone. A unified search is the only thing my phone is missing to compete with the new phones that are out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have an AT&T Tilt and current have SBP Mobilel Shell, and SPB Pocket Plus installed, MS Voice Command, along with other software.
I am particularly interested in the HTC Album (touch style photo browsing).
I've been reading a lot of posts, and my mind is swimming. It seems there are so many possibilities out there, among which are:
Touch Commander
FTouch Flo
Cooked Rorms
HTouch CAB
Touch Flo
SCPLPF
and on and on
but as I read the posts, they are mixed up with many issues based on various devices, versions, multiple version imbedded in threads and so forth.
So, I'm curious to hear from someone using a Tilt what you are using successfully. IN the end I may be happy enough with just the HTC Album, which I gather I need irrespective of the other touch software.
I'm not particularlly interested in putting on a new rom update. I'm afraid I will end up duplicating contacts in my work based Lotus Notes system if I reinstall all that and resynch.
Anyone care to suggest/discuss this topic for the Tilt?
Then the SDK and emulators were released yesterday:

I'm not sure whether you have to have Visual Studio to install them though - I guess someone will find out.
My first impression is that the UI isn't anything like as 'deep' as TF3D. It's only a makeover for the Today screen and the Programs menu. As soon as you select anything (calendar, texts, tasks, alarms), it's the same bad WM UI. I might upgrade when HTC bring it out, but only if they've reintegrated TF3D.
Doesn't surprise me one bit, Microsoft are concentrating all their efforts on WM7. 6.5 is just some eye candy to try to put people off the iPhone, same as TF3D.
Welcome,
I am searching for the most cleanest Windows Mobile 6.5 Rom ever. It must be ready to install into Xperia and start to the standard today panel. Any uneeded program (Microsoft MyPhone, Live, Messenger, Office, Acrobat) must be out. The hardware drivers and most needed apps like Phone, Messaging, MMS are only invited.
You know the soft like this?
No, but you can learn how to cook and cook it exactly like how you wanted it.

Hi!
I am kind of a noob when it comes to phone hacking so i ask for help here.
I have a Blackstone with WM 6,1. Is there any way to put WM 6,5 on it and make it work as smooth as it does now?Or do you recommend to put Android on it? I have read stuff about putting android on a blackstone and it does not sound like it works any good, but maybe i am wrong.
What do i need to swap from WM 6,1 to WM 6,5, and how do i do it.
Thank you from Forca
Windows Mobile 6.5 is not lighter or faster than 6.1. It takes more RAM and use more CPU. The only WM 6.5 ROMs for Touch HD are the ones done by the cooks here. They have ported also Manilla 2.5, so you can have twitter, facebook, footprints.. tabs weather animations, etc
You can get a very useful and fast ROM installing KWBR 6.1 and then installing a twitter client, facebook app, marketplace... if you want.
In the end depends on what you want more. WM 6.5 ROMs come with latest versions of many apps, but most of them can be installed on WM 6.1 too.
There have been other people asking the same only a few days ago, please use search:

There's a section on this forum for Android on Touch HD but it's not a ROM and it's not a replacement for WM ROMs. Several things do not work at all (GPS, camera), and it's very slow on average. It's nice to take a look at Android and test apps, since you do not have to modify the ROM, you just reboot and load Android from the SD card. But it's not like you're going to run Android all the time on this device.
Thank you very much for your help
Hi guys,
My dad's handed me his Vario III / (Kaiser 120) to use.
I did a reset using the option in 'SETTINGS' to reset it and lose all date. Now, when I start it up, it looks like new and the time/date has to be set. All my dad's contacts have gone. Cool. - 1. Was this a Hard-Reset ?
I went to something like SETTINGS > INFO and got this:
Radio Vers 1.70.18.02
ROM DATE 9/01/08
ROM Vers. 3.31.110.3 WWE
Build 19212.1.03
When I start it up, it says Windows Mobile v6.1
A couple years ago, I loaded tomtom navigator on it for my dad. It was really good with the internal gps.
Anyway, now that I have the phone, I'd like to install tomtom navigator on it, use the camera (maybe 10 photos a week) and upload pics to my PC, and browse the internet (email, twitter etc.) from time to time. Also, I'd use the handset to connect via bluetooth to my laptop so I can use it for internet (in emergencies, as it is kinda slow). I also text (3-5 texts a day)
I also downloaded an app called Shazam.cab from a site called mobilism, which I would love to use as I have seen it on my lucky friend's iPhone and the app is awesome!
2. Apart from the usb cable, and active sync on my pc, do i need anything else to install shazam on my phone/micro sd card?
3. I assume a ROM means operating system? Like windows xp, 7 etc.
I see that people are putting new ROMs on their phone. My phone has
Storage Free Space: 121MB and Programs Free 55MB. There isn't a lot of 'bloatware' hogging up resources on there, as far as i can see.
4. Do I need to install a custom ROM now that you know my uses (in blue font above) for the phone? / do I need to flash it? I.e. will a new ROM/flash make my life a lot easier? Better to convert to android system? Will I need to do any of these things to install shazam?
I was goin to do this on the weekend so I can use other sims in my phone:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334679
fingers crossed it goes ok.
Can you please help?
Thank you
Sonny
ps. I may need to ask a couple more questions after this. Once again thank you for your help. If anyone needs advice on cameras, please let me know as I am a regular contributor to a photography forum.
1. Yes, it was HARD-Reset (removes all settings, contacts, messages, ...). It doesn't do anything to the MicroSD card.
2. I don't know anything about that. Sorry!
3. Yes, ROM means operating system. There are stock ROMs and modified ROMs. For Kaiser (a.k.a. HTC TyTN II) you'll find only stock Windows Mobile 6.1 ROM and lots of modified WM 6.1 and WM 6.5 ROMs. There's no stock WM 6.5 ROM for Kaiser.
4. Android is not stable enough. Sometimes it crashes, doesn't wake up and so on... All your mentioned things can be done with both WM 6.1 and 6.5, so it's for you to decide what to use. WM 6.1 looks a little bit old and terrible, but it uses less resources than WM 6.5 which looks a little bit... like system that was made to be similar to iPhone OS. Yes, WM 6.5 is more finger-friendly, but the applications grid drives me crazy, it uses more resources (and loves draining the battery)
Thank you very much for taking the time to post. I found it really useful.
I stuck with original HTC ROM with 6.1 and I am loving it. Shazam works wonderfully well. The phone is so damn sharp. And, using 2 apps at once is brilliant.
Does anyone know if I can put more icons/apps on the TODAY SCREEN?
At the moment, I am only allowed to put 6 in the start menu screen, and 1 (tom tom) on the today screen.
My Start menu has: 1 File explorer, 2 organiser (i use the calculator a lot), 3 internet explorer, 4 MS word (for my notes), 5 shazam (use a lot), 6 Resco photo manager (for uploading to FlickR)
I'd like to add 2 more apps (wunder radio + core player) somewhere with quick access.
Any ideas?
Thank you
Try copying applications links (.lnk files) from \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\ to \Windows\Start Menu\
I'm not sure if it's going to work with Windows Mobile 6.1, but it's safe to try
