any development on 2i???

Hi,

I'm soon to receive an XDA IIi, and wonder what is the reason why one couldn't just stick WM 5.0 on it? What would happen, would it just refuse to boot up, or would it only not work 100%? Has anyone tried, or should I be the first guinea pig? :twisted:

Thanks,

somebody tried it on a magic and it just said wrong model id something something
and would not even begin install

roms have to be 100% the same device in order to work so the leaked
himalaya beta 2005 rom cant work

Thanks for the reply... but I don't quite get how this all works, couldn't you just modify the ROM to work with the Magician?

Would it make a difference that the XDA IIi is so much similar to the Himalaya? How do HP and Dell propose to offer upgrades for their machines? How will they modify the ROM, or will Microsoft do it for them?

Thanks again,

Truthiswithin

HTC gets the source from ms and include all the spcefic drivers and settings for their devices
then they pass on a basic rom to tmobile and o2 and all those critters

then they add all their stuff and release it

i've yet to see anybody porting a rom themselfs even though some people were looking into it back in the early xdaIIs days to try and get 2003SE to xda2 as far as i know they dident have any success

and xdaIIi just looks like xda2 they are not all that similar under the hood
with the wifi and the different cam and different cpu and .....
