Title: Moving from E2 to Z6 -> Need Help
Post by: kalapahar on March 21, 2008, 05:33:29 pm
Hi, in the last three months I used 2 MOTO ROKR mobile set...ROKR E6 and E2
E2 has the best sound quality as I`ve seen
Hope the Z6 will do the same as E2
But I heard Z6 is not that moddable like E2....?
And how can I transfer the SMS from E2 to Z6? (I can use Motorola Phone tools for contacts)
And is there any dedicated Z6 forum..?
Thnx..guyz...It's really enjoyable being with you
But I am not leaving.......;)

I own Z6 and I have modded it into the newest MP at the moment.It called linuxmodbeta by Spanish modders.I have flashed my Z6 more than 10 times but until now not much has changed.We can't install mpkg yet.telnet and ftp has been enabled.E2 and E6 are much moddable.One thing that attracts me in Z6 is the speed.
I recommend U to visit modmymoto and motofan.ru for the best Z6's references.

yeah...I got that too. that Z6 is not that moddable.....but what is the reason maybe?
motorola technical changes...or lack of interest..because I think you people can mod anything like from TV to PVR..ha ha ha

btw...I`m interested in Z6 as bcoz...it's now the fastest in Java Benchmark 2...which is very good for gaming and it's battery life is reported to have better then E2. So  wanna try out....

but E8 isn't out either...but hope to try that too...just have and idea...as E8 has morphing keyboard...I can see someone will make a mod so that the keypad shows much more info & nice funlights...I think that'll be cool....

and can someone help with the sms?....like copying any file from E2 to Z6...as they have the same architecture & OS?

lol E8's keyboard can't show more info since it's not a screen ....
if you make run busybox and other bins u can mod a Z6 :)...

which file in E2 stores all the contact and sms info...is that main.db?
will copying that file from E2 and putting on Z6 will do anything?
I know in Z6, telnetting isn' possible yet...but I saw some firmware that can do that.

Can MPT transfer phonebook n sms between moto phones?


Title: Re: Moving from E2 to Z6 -> Need Help
Post by: kalapahar on March 27, 2008, 05:48:43 pm
For Contacts, yes..it Can
but in case of sms there is no dedicated option like Nokia
In this case Nokia is much ahead then motorola
Well MPT can save the sms in XML format and I think it can get it back too
I just saved it in XML but didn't tried to revive yet

well after i backup everything and flash, when it comes to restoration it usually loses the menu and the only way to get it back is to flash it over without restoring the backup...
ps. is there another way to transfer my sms across phones?

z6 is a fast fool phone, you can only do very limited few modifications

so as the v8, u9, e8, etc..


Title: Re: Moving from E2 to Z6 -> Need Help
Post by: DeeZy1611 on May 09, 2008, 10:15:19 am

Well Z6 is not completely fools phone...it can be moddable to but not as far as E2 or E6
I am using linuxmod modified firmware which mods the phones interface and supports skins from memory card and also Mplayer to play avi files at upto 25fps.
more over it has other tools like backup, screen backlight duration etc changer and some more too.
just what i think is not many persons own the Z6 so the lack of modders turns it into a highly non modifiable set.
but within few months I think it'll be much modifiable for it's high speed and extra facilities

I've sold my Z6 for Rokr E8.But in my experience using Z6,It's the fastest phone I've ever used.TF Skin support without freezing the phone in mass storage mode is the plus score.No ezx phone can do this before.Only music player seems disappointed.Seems like no 'Rokr' in it.
