Apologies if this has been posted before, but Cotulla (he who has managed to WM6.5 running on the ancient HTC Magician) has also been working on a CE 5.0 ROM for the same device. He's not released it yet, but will do if there is any interest. So let him know!



More infomation here.

It's like Palm-sized PC 2.0!

Maybe we can convince this person to give us CE 5.0 on other devices too (at least newer devices, like 900c and/or NBP).... but maybe that is also wishful thinking.

This just might get me to go out and get a Windows Mobile 5/6 Pocket PC - just to make it a Windows CE 5.0 Palm-size PC!

Just a proof of concept at moment... there is no gprs/phone support in it...

However, cotullas WM6.1 roms are superb as well.. been using them for a while and they seem stable and are WM6.1 as I can install WM5/6 software and it runs fine.

And then to realize I just bought a 'broken' Qtek S100 for 15 euro's (including shipping). I now just upgraded it to WM6.1 using Cotulla's rom...
Thanx ZSX for posting this.
'broken' : Phone works perfect as phone (over phone speaker),
only CE can't find the speaker, but the phone jack is OK. So all I miss is speaker output which sounds lousy anyway.
Nice spare phone/book reader/sound&video player etc. for this price.

My old HTC Magician (it is the Qtek S100 model) is sitting on my desk at my parents place. I had thought it forever resigned to Pocket PC 2003, but with CE builds and WM6.1/6.5 I can't wait to retrieve it and get flashing!

Maybe I could upgrade my Dell Axim X5 to CE 5.0 one of these days.
