A question to the ROM Makers .....

[nvatvani]

Can the WM6 core be extracted from others devices and ported to the Universal?

The reason I am asking is because an official WM6 ROM for the Universal does not exist. And the current WM6 Dev Release (Ivan's 6a) is still incomplete, i.e. - no video call.

What I have been made aware of is the official WM6 releases for the following devices:

The following Provisional dates have been given.
Athena (X7500/Advantage) - From August
Excalibur (S620) - From August
Hermes (TyTN) - Currently available
Herald (P4350) - From August

Probably the quicker thing to do is to extract the video-call binary from the Athena or Hermes.

And what do you think we are doing now?

I like the Touch software in my universal and therefore I have also try to cook my own ROM.
After seen my Universal and the HTC Touch of my wife sparking, I decided to upgrade my microwave before trying again.

God Bless You guys! I love this forum :0)

Don't know .... hence the question. It has been quite a while since Ivan's 6a was made available. I just though it was a bit premature to class 6a as a final WM6 release since it still did not have a core 3G feature. The Universal does not have 3G data protocols and the lack of video calling technically means that the Universal fails to qualify as a 3G phone.

You are better off using GSM for voice calls as opposed to using UTMS since you save power.

3G data speeds are there so it does qualify, and the video call drivers are device specific.

Awe mann .... I am in no mood to debate EDGE as a 3G technology as opposed to 2.75G.

And since the video call drivers are device specific, well ...... I guess putting some effort into Minisip or WengoPhone (VoIP clients supporting videocalls) might actually be worthwhile.
