Mobile Office on X50V with WM 6.5 - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

I installed Makuu's Roms (5CFA) 5.2.28002 WM6.5.x on my Axim X50V and I REALLY like the Titanium interface. It will be fun to play with possibly causing Jealousy in the kids
BUT ... it does not have Mobile Office and I really want mobile excel
I tried two versions of Mobile Office:
- One named: MS_Office_2007.CAB which did not install completely and required reflashing the OS to get it off my machine. It refused to uninstall.
- One named: PDACorner_Office2007.CAB which refuses to install on either the main memory or the Compact Flash card.
Questions:
- Do others have Mobile Office 2007 running on Makuu's 6.5 rom per above?
- If so, any hints to make it happen?
- Are there any 6.5's that have Titanium and Mobile Office in ROM?
- Any other thoughts???
Thanks,
Nick

So I reflashed yet another time and this time it started up differently with multiple iterations of the SDAutoRun (or whatever the name). When the unit came back to life, mobile office was there.
Now I have Mobile Office Why it worked this time I have no idea.
Sometimes these things have a personality and they don't always like you.

Windows Mobile 2003 or 2005 XDAII upgrade

Hello,
I was wounder where I can get the latest upgrade for my XDAII I already have Windows Mobile 2003 2.06.00WWE on O2 in the UK
It doesnt have windows media player 10 tho.
Anyone now?
Thanks,
Steven Ross
If not mistake, wm10 only appear in wm2003se ver 2.207
I used Windows Mobile 2003 SE and it's a great release but it does not include Windows Media 10, the only device to date that has WM10 is the JAM. So far no one has been able to implement WM10 on an XDAII (or any other device as far as I know).
But as me, You can try Windows Mobile 2005 but you have to remember that it's a BETA release, so you will encounter some problems but at least you'll get to enjoy several improvements also.
I'm happy with WM2005 because:
1. Bluetooth is much MUCH better. I use it for Activesync and bluetooth headset and always works even at the same time even while on a call!!!
2. Better GUI including Phone Dialer
3. Much more stable, even though it runs on very limited resources, it feels peppy and responsive
4. I feel safer knowing that if I ran out of battery my data and installed applications will be safe thanks to it's new persistant architecture
5. Picture and Ringtone assignment under Contacts (no more clumsy IA Caller ID).
6. Better MS Office Integration (i.e. Excel now can produce Charts)
7. Windows Media 10
Problems with current Magneto release that I can live with in the meantime:
1. Video Capture has a limit of 240x180 pixels and seems choppy.
2. No MMS
3. No Activesync through USB
4. Very Limited Program and Storage memory
5. Certain Apps and games that I like are not compatible with WM2005 yet.
Best regards,
Rayan

WISBAR ADV V2.0 and BA

Running the O2 XDA IIS with the Imate 1.40 ROM installed WISBAR Advanced V2.0 I like it but when someone calls I get no notification no sound no picture CID etc. the backlight comes on but that is all I soft reset my device and it did work once but then went back to no notifications. I uninstalled WISBAR and all is back to normal.
Anyone else experience this issue or have any suggesitons?
Thank you
:?:
If you look at the Wisbar's site, you will find:
Supported Operating Systems
PocketPC 2002
Windows Mobile 2003
Windows Mobile 2003SE
(Please note that this is not yet compatible with PocketPC Phone Devices)
so its not compatible with phone edition versions of WM2003SE.
I faces more problems than yours, until i found a new BETA version for WM2003SE phone editions.
It has many new amazing features, such as phone signal meter, battery meter, skin folders on storage card, ... etc
The BETA version is 2.0.1.29
You can get it from here: http://www.lakeridgesoftware.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1977
Cheeeeeeeeeeeers
ezzkht
Installed the beta so far so good but it has only been about 20 minutes
Thank you for pointing me toward the beta
No problem dude..
I am using this beta version for more than 1 month. Its going alright.. no any further problems till now 8)
Wisbar advance
Do any of you find that the wisbar sometimes stalls for a few seconds and eventually closes?
This is the only pain I had so far. It does happen quite often.
Cheers

Been running the beta for over 5 hrs now and have not noticed the type of behavior you are describing.
Yes, the .29 beta does shut down on it's own sometimes. It's still in it's beta stage so I can't complain. If i don't aggravate the app, it behaves properly. I can live with it for now. Another problem is that some application will remove itself from the top bar or just close for no reason. I'm hoping the creator will fix it on the final version.
BTW, I read that the version for 2005 will be another complete re-write due to the OS and how it uses the memory.
does anyone have a link that works for the beta version? the supplied link download is not working anymore..
The current version of Wisebar is 2.4.0.1 and their web site advises that it supports the following Operating Systems
PocketPC 2002
Windows Mobile 2003
Windows Mobile 2003SE
PocketPC Phone Devices
I am running this version of wisebar on an XDA IIs but have removed the O2 software which seems to make it more stable. No problems so far.

It's really good, but it's not Windows Mobile 6: a tuned up version of WM5 that has a similar visual appearance and it has some applications from WM6 integrated on it, like Word Mobile, Excel Mobile and Powerpoint Mobile.
In fact, it's not complete since the core OS is still WM5.

Yeah, I wish somebody could cook up a real WM6 rom. It would be so nice.

Celio Mobile Viewer not WM 6.5 compatible, hardreset

Sounded to good to be true: WinMobile fullscreen on your XP/Vista, with Celio Mobile Viewer, with a number of HTC devices supported. Ok, HD not listed, but from experience we know that this does not always mean the end.
Installed the driver cab and desktop application, the cab reset my HD, and...HD would only show bootscreen and no longer load WM 6.5 (Deuk V7). Ok, no big deal, battery out, hard reset, restore, back to MyMobiler for HD on the PC desktop.
But you, after reading this post, dont have to fall into the same trap. But maybe it runs under WM 6.1, wanna test?
Promising application though - if they work out HD-compatibility, probably also WM 6.5.
http://www.celiocorp.com/viewer
HD with latest 5/1 build now appears on beta list, under WM 6.1
Same thing happened to me with my Titan and WM6.5
and dummy me...they came out with a new build which I tried AGAIN & had the same experience.
HTC Titan WM6.5 & Celio Redfly MobileViewer are not curently compatible as of 5/5/09

Can't run KAYAK on Windows Mobile 6.5, was working on 6.1

Hi, i have issues with running the Kayak travel app on the Windows Mobile 6.5 with Esmertec Java launcher. When trying to launch the programs just freezes completely. The console is talking about some language issue and it auto closes (on MySaifu Java client). I had no issue whatsoever in making it work on the Windows Mobile 6.1.
What could be the reason and is there any way to port the app of Windows Phone 7 onto 6.5? Any thoughts or any alternative app for looking flights/hotel prices? Thanks.
Resolved
I wish to thank the entire XDA community for once-again-manifested total disinterest in dealing with problems of people using Windows Mobile.
After weeks of struggling i have resolved the issue myself by installing the Esmertec Jbed Java client, instead of the one that was pre-loaded in my system.
Now Kayak works perfectly. Hope this will be useful to someone else at least.
PS: Here is the page with the Esmertec Java emulator:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=407667
PS2: This issue and solution applies to all versions of Windows Mobile, the reason of initial malfunctioning not being cause of WinMo 6.5 but cause of a different Java client installed in the Rom. After that i've got the same problem on the 6.1 which indicated me that the problem wasn't the system but Java itself.
