WM2003-based SER

[bob190cm]

Does anyone know when Special Edition ROM 2(or whatever WM2003-based will be called) is coming?
Waiting since I installed SERv1.2! :roll:

[skenliv]

Tried a search?..

It´s rumored for release in december for the XDA´s.

[bob190cm]

Search told me nothing, but thanx!
December 2004? By that time we'll probably see WM2004! 8)

I think you missed something.....

I'm nearly 100% sure, that there will never be an XDA-Developers Special Edition ROM based on the WM2003. The SER 1.2 was before the ability of ROM kitchens.

The Version skenliv is talking about is the WM2003 SE (Second edition)
This is something completly differernt.

I think that there won't be any release of the WM2003 SE for the XDA I device. O2 didn't have released any WM2003 until know, so why should they release the SE?
T-Mobile i'm not sure. But the only interesting point for the XDA I Users of the SE is the landscape mode....

Basically, I don't see any "useful" feature in WM2003SE - as far as I know, the main thing is the support of 640x480 mode, which can't be used with XDA nor XDA2 (maybe XDA3 if any).
To say truth, I wanted the SER2 because I never managed to do anything with ROM kitchens - I gave it up and installed SER v1.2 so if you can give a link to a nice tutorial it would be appreciated.

By the way, what is included in your ROM?
Don't you want to share?

You want to know, what applications are iincluded in my ROM? Don´t know it exactly. But why should I share it. Maybe I´m using the theft protection or anything else.....
Why don´t you cook your own ROM?

Just a note, there is an internal build of WM 2003 Second Edition for the XDA.

I'm running it right now on my SX-56. I really like it, the landscape mode is helpful and the text size changing is nice too. Add Voice Command and it's a true geek's delight.

Unfortunately, it's a signed internal build right now. So it can't be distributed. Hopefully T-Mo or others will release soon.

Cheers,
Laotzu

2 Stefan:
It was jus a suggestion! Don't take it this close to heart!
The point is, that my PC ain't gonna become a UNIX in close time...
PS: You are absolutely right, distribution of theft software is illegal! Same as it's usage... :D

[skenliv]

:shock:

I meant Second Edition, sorry. Read it to fast.

i would like to get some info about older CE applications compatiblity with SE because from what i read many older applications may not work at all
i would like to know if they dont work period or if they dont work of you tilt your desktop and such

would never move to a new version of the os which required me to get all new software

[skenliv]

The old CE apps should work on standard mode. But in landscape mode, it might not work.

[Rudegar]

are you 100% sure about this because

here they make it sound much more serious

To my mind this will not be this tough!
I use Nyditot Virtual Display - my system thinks I have 640x480 landscape (all the rumours concerning making it "impossible to see anything on the display" come from people, who can't work with fonts, cleartype and zoom! 8) ).
I actually use programmes for WinCE 2.0, WinCE 2.11, PPC2002 and now WM2003, even though Microsoft guys say the WinCE 2.0 can never be compatible with the WM2003! So I think, that the availability of VGA will not make many troubles (if they use basis of WM2003 in WM2003SE).
I won't believe anyone till I see it! :wink:
