Vista Service Pack 1 released to RTM

Looks like the word is that Windows Vista Service Pack 1 has been finalised by Microsoft and it’s group of beta testers. Preliminary reports seem to show that (as usual), the service pack has been leaked to numerous online web sites, however it will probably appear on the Microsoft web site fairly soon (within a couple of weeks).

It is unknown as yet if this will be a forced download via Windows Update for the existing Windows Vista users.

Dopod replacement ROM Release 5!

As a mainly bugfix release to fix the missing Calculator on Release 4, you can now download Release 5.

On the radar is a version of Windows Mobile 6.1 with a number of improvements/changes over Windows Mobile 6.0 - however at the moment there still one or two issues that stop me from releasing it. If you really wish to beta test it, contact me via email.

Dopod Replacement ROM Release 4

I’ve put together another update for my replacement ROM for the Dopod 838 Pro and compatible line of phones. Release 4 contains the following changes:

  • Mapped button 5 press to voice dial.
  • Added voice dialling to Appbuttons.
  • Added fix for scrolling slowness in Pocket IE.
  • Changed keyboard skin to match theme.
  • Unbundled OS ROM from Radio ROM due to popular request. You can now choose your own radio version.

You can get the updated ROM and view the full details of the release here.
