Hi,
Skype has been available for WM6.1 since 2008!
You really need to do your own search over the Internet resources before asking.
I did a simple Google using keywords "skype wm6.1" and Google suggested "skype wm6.1 cab" and this search was given:
https://www.google.com.sg/search?q=...lla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&gws_rd=cr
About 19,600,000 results (0.28 seconds)
The first link pointed to this XDA thread which was created in 2008!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=413351
There are also many other links to other websites which have the downloads and reviews.
Previously you mentioned your wi-fi is not working. Is your wi-fi working now? I read in some website reviews that Skype will be good when wi-fi is used, but not so smooth when using a data connection over telephone networks. This is most likely due to data bandwidth is not good enough over telephone networks. Anyway, you can give it a try if you want to.
Remember - in future, please do your own research first before asking.

Hi guys,
I've seen the thread from Midget but I have to say I don't feel like going through the 200 posts to see if everyone is happy.
Could someone do a small list of is working and what is not?
I've seen people getting problem with Office files, backlight sensor, wifi, freezing screens ....
Well my question is should I flash my Exec?
Thanks
Alternatively, you could read those 200 posts and learn for yourself.
There are 3 versions of the same base image, each thread has people's posts relating to it.
Don't be so lazy.
Almost
Ok I'll make it short !
I'm just gonna use the calendar, contacts, tasks, office mobile, explorer, live messenger and Skype on the wifi.
As anyone had any problems trying to use those features ?????
I only have internet at work for the next few weeks and i don't really have time to go for all the posts.
Thank for your help.
All of those will work.
And really, if it takes you more than a little while to read that one thread.......
I recommend you read it, it will save you asking the same things other have asked.
The programs auto close when running in the background
this is a useful feature
but annoying if you need to use 2 apps at the same time
Core player does not open Video files

For me, not until the Video Call is working.
Keep your ROM in safe backup, the ROMs are removed on the request of you know by who.
The only one left is the one on the Rapidshare.
I have the same opinion. I wont install a WM6 ROM until the videocall issue is solved!

Video call is not working on both Infidel and Midget's ROM over 3G networks??
Please disregard, I just read the thread about the legal issues.
I first wish to thank you all for maintaining this site and freely sharing your updates, experience, and knowledge. This site is a God-Send.
I amposting since I have one question, and not sure where the issue lies, Has anyone else experienced problems downloading form the Rapidshare sites? I get an error about exceeding the allowed downloads but I have'nt downloaded yet. I am thinking maybe something in my IE 7 or another security setting?
Any ideas woudl be helpful since I cannot wait to get to WM6.
Thanks,,,,

Well maybe your connected to the internet using a proxy. and as free user u only can download one file every hour. if you are using a proxy, everybody, who's using this proxy too, blocks you. but its just a suggestion from me.
alternate you can restart your router and try again. this is also a trick to download more than one file in an hour, because you get a new ip.
I had the same issues with rapidshare.
But since the FTP was stripped and most new roms are released through it I have paid for a premium subscription.
It works 100%
And if you know where to look there are loads of other cool software available on rapidshare.

A simple reg hack will let you search google instead of windows live.
(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE)-Services-Windows Live-HSAppPlugins
change searchURL to http://google.com/search?hl=en&q=
someone please post the settings before the hack i forgot to write it down incase i want to change it back.
your welcome
the original value is....
http://mobile.live.com/search/results.aspx?=
nice diggin =) think ill try to get it do the swedish search instead
The URL is: http://mobile.live.com/search/Results.aspx?q=
The above is what is in the registry!!
While the search page is at:
http://m.live.com/search/default.aspx?mkt=en-us
and Home is at:
http://mobile.live.com/pocketpc/default.aspx?mkt=en-US
Simple
thanks for the great hack! god knows the default search was horrible
Live search is simply you type a query and it opens up PIE with Live search...you can accomplish the same thing by just open up PIE and have google set as the default home page. I don't use Live search..just the messenger part Thanks for this great info.
I figured this out months ago, and posted in on HoFo...

i added this to the wiki, and am going to lock the thread
I felt it was appropriate to re-open this thread. There have been issues with the original url not correctly handling search terms with embedded spaces. I've got what may be a fix to this. Try the following URL:
http://www.google.com/pda?hl=en&q=
This seems to work for me. Hows it working for everyone else?
wow austinsync I thought you were only good at flaming noobs! Nice work..
Sleuth - confirmed link is working fo rme
Works great on a 8125 as well!!!!!!!

nope... i searched "austin bbq" as test (and because i'm hungry and want som BBQ!!) and PIE opened up with this in the search box: "austin%u0020bbq"
Doesn't work for me either. It does open up PIE and puts the given search query in the google searchbox, but doesn't directly show the search results. For that, I need to press search again.
Weird.
I also wonder, if it's possible, to display Google Search on the desktop instead of Live Search.
Regards,
DM
thank you, this works great!
thank you, this works great!
cab?
can someone be so kind to make a cab file for the reg fix? Makes it a lot easier every time we switch roms
This URL works great for me.
http://www.google.com/m/search?output=xhtml&source=mobileproducts&mrestrict=xhtml&q=
It is also in the wiki
Does anyone know if it's possible to change "Live Search" to "Google Search" ?
There is a search plugin lifted from the treo700 that defaults to google. look in the treo700 rom dumped thread in the development and hacking forum. It works well but doesn't allow SIP input. You need to have the keyboard opened to use it.
I can make an installer if anyone's interested.
Interested.... Thnxs in advance..

Am interested... Luv Google and not 'Dead' Search...
On my latest WM6 ROM, I have cooked a working google URL into the live search today item. Embedded spaces work just fine. This is a major WM6 update btw. If you're interested in upgrading, here's a link to the thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=308019
modaco has a nice fix for it.

works without any problems.
I just recently bought a Dash as a regular phone/ emulator on the go for cheap.
I started flashing the day of my purchase, testing out different wm6.1 roms.
Some questions I have I think I have the final verdict for, but if anyone would like to share a difference, that would be lovely xD
1. What are t-zones?
[Seriously, I can't for the life of me find this, not even on TMO's site.]
2a. Is there a way to fix the 'Communication Error' in OZ Messenger on roms other then TMO's official rom?
[As far as I've seen, some people say it works if you install it to the device instead of a storage card, but others say it just won't work outside TOM's official roms.]
2b. If not, is there another app that uses SMS for instant messaging?
[I have no data plan, and don't plan on it yet.]
3. What's the [E] at the top of my screen?
[Edge?]
4. How can I add start menu shortcuts?
[Some say just press copy on the file then go to the location and 'paste shortcut' but it's grayed out in the options.]
5. Is Office mobile any good at all?
[Ehh?]
6. I've found a tut to cook roms in another section, but is it phone specific?
[I'm surprised there isn't one stickied.]
I promise, this is the last post of noob questions I'll post haha.
I've read up alot as of late, and this is all I couldn't find solid answers to.

1. t-zones is basically the internet for the phone (not wifi) it connects and does the same as wifi w/o having it on but you will need to pay for unlimited web access from the provider or find a proxy if your too cheaphttp://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Excalibur_WM61tzones
the way t-zones should be set up in wm6.1 start/settings/connections/gprs/
either create a t-zone by selecting menu/add/t-zone
open it up to config
connects to:The Internet
access point: wap.voicestream.com
and dont mess with the others hit done..open PIE then go to menu/tools/options/connections/check the box automatically detect settings/select network- wap network.. and you should be done(i just threw that out there u might already know how to do it)
2a. i don't know never tried it
2b.i'm pretty sure there is u just have to search i remember some later posts saying something about it but dont remember the posts..search use google also b/c theres other forums besides xda like htc has their own forums and etc. http://www.palringo.com/en/gb/
3. do you not have a manuel that came with your phone when you bought it? Displays the network or connectivity status.
4. i'm not a tech support but you can find something about the registry editor that can do this. i'm pretty sure if not shoot me.
5. it's alright.....
6.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=396745 tells you how to cook roms for excalibur you should also check out http://forum.xda-developers.com/announcement.php?f=309 before asking these questions
because theres a bunch of stuff on here that people already asked that shows up in here i take it you never read the wiki for the excalibur before...http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Excalibur
please read this stuff people maybe u won't have to ask and post up aged old questions that already been asked before(NOT TRYING TO BE A PRICK) --found most of this just by using the search forum up above---- or here's the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php

1. Really, you did not look too hard then, its right on the T-Mo home page, T-zones only supports WAP, basically to purchase ringtones and wallpaper from T-Mo and browse a few sites. T-MobileWeb is replacing T-Zones by the way.
2. Google is your friend, but most IM clients use data not SMS. Oz can be installed, search this forum for the answers. I had it running but use IM+ now instead
3. Yes its Edge, the G is GPRS should you leave an Edge area
4. Get Total Commander, thats the easy way to create start menu shortcuts.
5. The updated Office Mobile is worth it, if you use Windows computer and need to edit / read documents
6. The tut on cooking roms is a good one, and yes it is phone specific for the most part. Again searching this forum will get you the info you need.
Thank you to both of you =D
Everything was answered but the OZ problem. I know it can install, but it does not connect outside TMO's official roms.
Everything else is good tho xD
Thanks.

It was answered. I had it installed and running (connecting) on Kavana's ROM, as did / do many others. Use the search feature instead of waiting for someone else to do it for you.

I just re-searched and have still yet to find a single person overcoming it outside TMO's roms, so if you would like to show me these 'many' people having it running on another rom, I would love it.

He's on about OZ IM that uses Text to send messages, it can be set up you just need the correct version and set it up correctly, jdog has helped out loadz of people on the forum with regards this so there must be some info on the forum?
Im very new to the android world and want to talk to my friends on iphone video chat but cant with qik. A good friend told me to use IMSDroid but i do not understand how to use it i searched all through this website and could not find anything. Anyone know how to set it up or do i need to look elsewhere?
They're gonna boot this out of dev but just use Fring.
This goes in the Q&A section, man. But personally, use either Fring or Tango. Tango it less invasive and more intuitive.
Look for tango on the app store
ISMDROID
here is the link to setup IMSDROID, but first you have to open an account on any SIP Server.
Then, look on google.com and search for imsdroid quick star
Sorry, I cant post a link.
Hope that this would help you. Let me know.
Here is link to IMSDroid Site for more info and link to actual apk files Last update was 21hrs ago. Enjoy.
