Updating from WM6 to WM6.1 without reflash? - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De

I run Dutty's V3 ROM on my Tilt. Is it possible for me to upgrade to 6.1 without reflashing? Kinda like Service Pack install.. or reflash is required?

I'm almost 99.99% sure that you're going to need to flash. If you can wait I'm sure dutty has something brewing.

Without reflashing - um NO.

Only in the next HTC model, named Think.

mayb when htc releases 6.1 officially then you can use windows update and update to 6.1 but for now the answer is no.

There is a cab file with PIE from WM6.1 somewhere around.
Maybe threaded sms cab can be found either.

Thanks.
Don't really see the reason for sarcasm in some of the answers though, I think it's aperfectly normal question.
Oh well, w/e..

In later official versions of windows mobile i am sure you will be able to do it without re-flashing. I think just because of so many tweaks and hacks etc that it would not be possible with these cutom ones.

there have never really been anything like a servicepack for wm though

Most of the people think that they are really "big deal". That is normal ... I don't even bother reading the whole posts any more if they sound this way. Just ignore.

Clean WM6 ROM

Is theire somebody who is able to make a clean (compleet) basic rom lik e orwell 1984? Only orwell didn't have a camera function.
I'm trying to clean up the faria rom but until still unsuccesfull. I'm using Faria because I believe at this moment it's the best / stable and fastest rom, but I don't need so much programs. For programs I prefer an other developer and some I don't want to usee. But because these programs are integrated to the rom you can't uninstall them...

MuNs is the cleanest fastest and battery saver for wm6
And im working out the kinks. Give me a week and youll have a new version completely vanilla. LOL

There was no office apps in Muns ROM or was I just blind ? Cuz I put it on and then went with fahira ROM cuz of the office apps.
They were in the start menu, if you chose not to show it there, it was moved to the programs folder i think.

Yep, as Golfernutflorida mentioned, the Office apps folder is in the Start menu on mUns (and I believe thats where it was at in MBE too). So they are there and they work (I've used Word and Excel a few times now on the mUn rom).
Also remember that Faria has said he's coming out with a Vanilla rom also. But I do have to say I'm pretty happy with the mUn rom right now so am staying with it for now.

Ok good I will try again. I knew they had to be there. BTW how is the battery drain on the mUn`s ROM specially with data usage ? Cuz Faria`s ROM the data usage drains the battery like crazy, and thats the main reason that I want to switch to a diffrent ROM.
mine is clean enough, but,,,,,,,,,,,it's in Chinese,,,,,,,,,,,:lol:

If you can wait a little Faria has said (repeatedly) that he is going to release a vanilla version of his WM6. My sense is that people keep PM'ing him and asking for this over and over and over... I think that kind of 'interuption' only delays the release (because there is only so much time in the day...)

Try mUn!!!
Hay, its cleanest I've tried thus far.

That's way I don't ask ' ROM-developers' by PM. They all are doing a great yob and when they have someting new, they tell us. I think they are going mad for all the pm's they receive.

We are looking forward to hearing of that one, too ASAP

Just crappy ugly "NEW" comm manager

Hi there,
can anyone tell me how to get rid of this UGLY "NEW" comm manager style? Anyone like it? Iam really scared of the graphics which can some people cook into their roms and new version of OCTAVOI has this version of commman too, so its the hell on earth for me! like someone steal my candy!
Is there a ROM based on new build which has not USELESS things cooked into? I just want new build with original Microsoft/HTC/Touch/Cube graphics!
I dont know if this comm man is originally styled by HTC if its true so its first styled component/application i dont really like and it sucks my blood...
Thumbnails attached
i second that but then that would only mean that we would have to help the chefs on this site. they offer us cooked roms with many customization. im sure they dont have time for graphics so lets get sometalented members to help out make the future roms look sexy. perhaps we can have a graphics area for all the phones since there many that would be comon.
Look for the 9 button or 10 Button Kaiser CommManager. Thats what I use in XM6 and is what you are asking for. I agree, I don't care for the other commManager's looks (although, the "Nuclear Powerplant one" you point out isn't too bad but I still like the other).
I'll look to see if I have a cab, but I have the packages (and they've been posted here. I know theloon's kitchen for the 318 rom has the Kaiser CommManager package and that can be used on any rom you cook (its not 318 specific).
I am curious why you want it on a "newer" rom build? Personally I've found the 318 rom (even though its "older") much more stable than the "newer" (higher number) builds which are all ports from other devices. I'd be curious what is in the newer stuff that you think is better (not a trick question, just wondering what I'm missing or what I can look to improve in a 318 build).
Agree! I'm using already two weeks mfrazzz's (thank you!) XM6 R3 (OS 5.2.318 Build 15342.4.0.01). No issues! Everything looks good and works great and fast! Even screen calibration bug is gone. C'mon flash this ROM and be happy, there's actually nothing better in versions with higher numbers!

The thing that i really hate about it is this red/greed circles. It is absolutelly ugly in my eyes and this have not to be in such pretty graphics. All is in one style done with perfection and this is what breaking all. Also the ON/OFF text isnt great there.

Its nothing special with roms i think. Its something in me. Specific HIGHER NUMBER SYNDROM ;-) ... but you all are true. I missed reading what are the advantages and just flash, but what was the best rom ever? For me it was faria's AIRAF Stable, great, but missing OneNote (i though that PS's Office2007 can install it to WM device). So the answer is: The bug in me

Hey man, just downloading it, im currious if it will be okay for me. I just want the HomeScreen plugin (this big clock are great and well styled so it fits my needs) and also the Touch/Cube graphics is perfect, but i dont know if its available in .318 versions.
GUYS THANKS FOR REPLIES
I actually quite like the look (the so called Nuclear Power Plant) and was wondering if anyone had a cab for it. To me it is simple and clean. I'd love to have it over the one I have now which is the 10 button.

Go over to the Kaiser forum and there is a sticky for a list of cabs. Dutty has a site where you can download cabs, and I believe this one is there. If not, ask in that thread and someone will probably have it for you.

So What's Coming Next?

Ok here comes an innocent question, more for curiosity than anything else.
We've had Manilla and the good ole standby of HTC Home, but I'm curious as to what's coming around the corner. I have to admit that I am finally getting tired of my super ROM, and I guess I could try another Manilla ROM. But here is my hope... Is there anything coming down the pipe that is going to be new and edgy? I'm hoping so, but if not, I'll just try another ROM.
I've got my fire-retardant PJ's on and am awaiting the on-slaught of comments saying that I don't appreciate our chefs. I really do, I just am ready to change the wallpaper.

I'll jump in the barrel with ya. I love every ROM I have ever flashed but I agree - whats next? Android? Where does WM go from here.....
You guys tried either TF3D or Throttlelauncher? Both of these interfaces are pretty cool and getting better all the time...aside from that, hopefully the next new thing will be Windows Mobile 7 (crosses fingers that it will run on the kaiser)...

Yeah.....WM7 another year away maybe.....Wish I could get an HD in the US - that would give me hours of play!
Hopefully Android or windows mobile 7.
Something that would make the kaiser actually a good phone =]
Actually from what I read and if I understand correctly, WM 6.5 is first by summer of this yr than WM 7 in 2010. Also WM 6.5 is supposed to have a revamped homescreen for touchscreen devices like how 6.1 revamped it for smartphones. At least that is from what I last read unless things have changed...
im hoping for a video driver but it seems unlikely. There isn't much talk on it anymore.....
I personally would love to see a full working version of TF3D with landscape and the power issue fixed.
Can someone tell me the difference between throttle launcher and tf3d? They kind of look the same to me...

Windows Mobile 6.5 anyone able to port it to our dear wizard?

I was just browsing thru the blue angel forum and I noticed tht they had a Windows 6.5 version rom out. Yes I know its a beta version but still im hoping someone here can port it to the wizard so we can give it a try. I would post a link but im using opera mini hence can't copy it still though its a sticky first thread on the windows 6 sub-forum of the blue angel forum.

Im sure there is aw ay to get a working camera.. there is another camera app that works on the wizard (cool cam) that might be a halfassed replacement.
I would like to see this rom ported and a kitchen too
sure some stuff might not work, but whare there isa will there is a way!
what camera did work with that rom?
Im not an expert and not very fluent in development on WinMo but
why wouldnt the camera be working for 6.5, wouldnt the app be backwords compatible
or is it a driver issue or something?
I think it's just a driver issue.

I am also not understanding what is the difference. I just ported the XIP/SYS and got the build 21139 and WM6.5 pro. Thats all......
May we haven't got the fully wm6.5 source for porting. Or its fake

In fact i have read that WM 6.5 is not released yet, even most people said a HTC phone was stolen with the WM6.5 last week in a special convention about PPC, PDA and other stuff.
Anyway microsoft denies the stolen phone, HTC does not said anything so
IN FACT THERE IS NO WM 6.5 OUT THERE!!!

but in resume says:
"la empresa puntualiza que el sistema siquiera está en fase beta"
(they said the system is not even in BETA phase)
It is my understanding that there won't be a wm6.5 as the wm7 is due for release early 2010. Now, I heard this thru unofficial sources so it could be wrong. As it turns out, the Touch2 has been or will be released with 6.5. My bad.

I think the variations between ROM's are overrated. To me they are pretty much the same unless you are crazy about details.
1) Sometimes your phone comes with bloatware, software that comes pre-installed on your phone. Depending on who you are you would think that this bloatware is annoying crap. You might want to get rid of it forever.
2) You see...even if you uninstall these bloatware, the installation files (.cabs) can still be found or stored in your phone's internal memory (the ROM). This takes up alot of space in your phone because you are not allowed to delete these files or cabs from your phone. See...this is still an issue because most phones have internal memories smaller than 400 megabytes and internal storage get's used up quickly.
3) It is best to install programs in the internal memory (the ROM) because the software will not be very buggy. I have installed software on my storage card before, and I tell you this: I advise you not to. Basically, if you are a user who installs dozens and dozens of applications on your phone than you should flash (install) a ROM that has little or no bloatware.
4) Some ROMs not only include bloatware, but they include demo music files and demo video files. If these files are stamped into your ROM's memory, then you do not have permission to delete this crap. Therefore you need to flash a different ROM that has as little filler as possible
5) Some ROM's contain software that was never included with your phone: for example... Touch Flo 3D ... Touch Wiz (not ported yet) ... or Windows Mobile 6.5 Software/Plugins
If you crave for Touch Flo 3D, then flash it. If you crave for Touch Flo 3D without a lot of bloatware from the developer, then you have to look for it. If you crave for a Touch Flo 3G with a lot of applications (that you consider beneficial instead of bloatware) then get it.
