Brilliant source to find out about the up and coming mobile os. But my question is will we able to run this OS on the XDA IIs, Blue angel, SPV... well woteva u call them fingy ma jigs PDA fingies.
I say this because ive heard rumours that the OS makes use of more sophisticated hardware than that already available on the XDA IIs.

Oh baring in mind im reletively new to XDA development (looking to develop some groovy stuff for the lil monster using the good ol' trusty .net framework SDK)...

yay! :D

Erm, read the thread at the top of the page about WM2005 and the XDA2s.

Also, this chap is worth a read. It's my fave thread of all time!!

he is soooo not your friend, i say, get him sooo drunk, wait til he passes out, spike his drink if u must, then do a rom dump and draw on his face with a marker pen while you wait.

give us his address raptor and i guarentee well have the rom ;)

[TheLastOne]

Raptor, I think he's bullshitting you. If not, ask to see his phone for a second, and slip in and SD Card with the Invisible Rom dumper.

[Raptor]

good ideas guys... he is serious though, I have seen it (with tight scrutiny)... he works for a wireless service provider that shall rename nameless. I used to work there as well so I know the consequenses he's facing ......

Still good ideas, still might have to try them.


Raptor

[mike freegan]

Do it!! I'm sure he can afford to take one for the team :P

Are you sure he hasn't just got the generic PPC WM2005, 'cos we really need the BA specific WM2005 (if I understand correctly)?

[Raptor]

Are you sure he hasn't just got the generic PPC WM2005

Educate Me, what's the difference and how would I tell?

[TheLastOne]

Don't worry about his question, Raptor, you already answered it correctly above. He just wasn't reading/paying attention.

Raptor, if you could get us a dump of this guy's rom, you would be forever famous, and we would all be very much in your debt.

Read here as to how:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=22861

Simply follow the instructions, and then insert the SD Card into his device, and BAM, rom dumped, secretly and invisibly. THen, take the SD Card back out, switch it to LOCKED, and then give us the .bin file it created, and we will all have WM2005 for our Blue Angels.

[sheiakh]

See if our good freind Raptor was some how able to obtain this lovely lil .bin file (the ROM), of the wonderful WM2005, hmm wouldnt that upset Mr.Gates in sum way? (Not that im really bothered or anything, cos im all for sharing, because remember, sharing is always caring ;) ).
But cheers for the reassurance Mr.Raptor much appreciated, gna seek means of finding me self a copy (some nerd, some where must have a copy which he will surely borrow me, willingly or unwillingly... muhahahaha)

[robboy]

This reminds me of a thread with Mr happy which came to no avail

[Raptor]

Well I do not want to get anyone's hopes of, the ideas to get him drunk and "borrow" his device were merely that, funny ideas. My message was mainly to inform all that contrary to what I have heard, it is working on the BA successfully. I will not be getting this build (unofficailly) from him as I respect his position @ the company and it would put him, his position, and the company @ legal risk.

Raptor

[TheLastOne]

Damn. Oh well. I would, just in retaliation for these companies not offering us updates just to steal more money from us, and then lying about it.

Honestly, I have no respect for companies that provide sub-standard support for their products.

[darkjedi]

unless there's carrier branding, they would never know where it came from.

[vbguru613]

if not do it for your country

[darkjedi]

he said it was the SX66, so who sells that?? Cingular!! ;)

[TheLastOne]

His profile says he uses Bell Mobility South.

[darkjedi]

that's the same company ;)

[TheLastOne]

I SO knew that ;).

[icohen2005]

i think that the desperation to get 2005 for ba and also the statement that
is rom for win2005 for ba cause many of us to fight over the dream i think that the best is to let it over and to wait and if anybody succses to install
on any ba this software and dont want to share it i wish him best wealthy and happiness don't stat to looooooooooooooooose your patient

[sunish]

Definitely a person who plays around with w05 rom on a BA must be lurking on this site.. its just not possible to keep away from this site if you play around with a BA..

So, the person with the ROM is somewhere here and smiling that everyone is trying to get a ROM which he/she has already got on their BA. That person must hv picked up a lot of good stuff from this site and got a lot of help from the experts here... just like anyone else.. how can someone be so heartless and shameless that he/she can not post the ROM anonymously here, if he/she can not come out in the open

What that person might be thinking...
If i release the ROM here , everyone will make a hero out of me and post so many thanks... but my company will sue me immediately.. if i post it anonymously then i wouldn't get the credit...

Well, this community is not about taking credit ... its about helping everyone around the world to make the best out of the devices they love..

Pls post it anonymously.. no one will take any credit for anything...
Help the community..

[darkjedi]

well with only 3 or 4 known sighting of the wm5 rom, i say i'll be at least another month or so before we get anything for our phones. if what this guy says is true, cingular has the rom, now we just need to presure them to give us an update.

[vbguru613]

ban the people that have an oppurtunity and dont seize the moment.

be a man and just get the rom

[mike freegan]

PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE!!!!!!!!
