Did you guys hear? HTC is releasing official WM6.1 updates to our beloved Kaisers!!!
Hear from where? You got a link for us?
Dave
It was just mentioned in the release from Microsoft about 6.1 yesterday (CNET, etc). However, that doesn't mean it is coming anytime soon.
oh. thanks for that.
link would still be nice

Actually, it's scheduled to be released VERY soon. The US touch dual will be shipping with WM6.1 supposedly within a month, so we might not even have to wait for a device specific rom, there will be 100 cooked ones available by the time that happens!
Is there any difference in the 6.1 we are already using in the cooked roms?

There already ARE 100 cooked ROMs
So? I bet that Dutty's ROMs are still better than official ones.

I think nobody knows that yet, I hope the final release have some REAL improvements in its interface because the standard version has real improvements compared to the Professional version.
Here's a video of the standard version
Just to manage your expectations ...

No, in researching MSFT's site (and hearing from someone who is at CTIA) it's exactly the same as the WWE stock and NoThrills roms we have now. The AT&T WM6.1 test rom (3.14) & VodaFone rom (3.07 i think) is mostly what we can expect from carrier specific roms as well.
I don't understand you guys we already have AT-T's WM6.1 rom and its nothing to really brag about. WM6.1 has been around for a very long time. we won't see anything good until WM7 hits the streets and trust me that's not that far off

Can anyone compare these 2 ROMs?
I am not sure if this thread was necessary, but i am pretty sure there are others out there just like me, who are very picky or maybe i should say very confiused about upgrading every other week, installing everything all over again and once everything is perfect and stable, doing everything all over again because there is a new ROM cooked..
Much Respect to Faria and Other ROM cookers out there.. I dont mean to disrespect to your great work.. I just want to know if we should wait, or go with the new ROM.. I am pretty sure you great cookers will come up with new ROMs..
Thank you and once again, dont mean to disrespect.. Just curious..

If the MB works fine for you, you don't need to upgrade to another ROM. The Faria's ROM was release for less than 12 hours, people need more times to install programs and check out all of the pro and con.
MB was based on the beta WM6 ROM.
Faria was a new possibly real/final ROM according to him.
Backup your programs using any good backup programs and try the new ROM. If you don't like Faria's ROM, reload the MB ROM and run your backup, it will take less than 15 minutes. Only you can tell if it's good for you or not.

good point
Just looking at the listing of whats in that ROM, it looks bloated. I like the cleanness of the MB rom. Ill wait for him to release the vanilla rom before trying it out. I perfer to choose my own apps to load. most of that other stuff i rarely use, why waste the ram and flash space for it.
Faria makes good ROMs. I just perfer mine to be clean, so i can make my own choices.

That is something I would like to try doing one of these days. I just havent had the free time.
That will be my next step, trying to make my own custom ROMs.
Yes, I was am waiting as well to see the "vanilla" version of his rom so it doesn't have all those extra programs that I don't use anyway. I don't like that he stripped pieces from the rom either (like VOIP even though it's not working.... yet)
My MB Edition works so good for me now I will wait til all the bugs are worked out and patches posted before I try Faria's latest.

or you could simple do your own! as for voip it does not work because ther is no service for it plus the app is imcomplete in all wm6 roms ..so whats the point of having it?
I don't think it's incomplete... well, not totally.. I believe we just need to figure out what will trigger the menu options for it. Well, no one knew the VOIP button was in the comm manager until I tried to add it just for the hell of it. I am sure there are lots to be discovered about it if we had enough people trying things.

Thanks for your input. I am assuming your rom is straight from HTC or from someone you know at HTC? Is this "new" rom different from the one you uploaded yesterday that you had for a year? What is the date on it?

One bug - When the Wizard is in Standby mode and set to vibrate, it does not vibrate on new e-mails received. It worked correctly in the 2.26 ROM I was using previously, but didn't work in the 1.18 ROM that was on the device when I first got it. Looks like the behavior is back to the way it was in the early WM5 ROMs. I get the feeling this is deeper than just a tweak to the registry, but would happily be corrected.
As for the "feature" aspect, I think Microsoft refers to them as "opportunities for developers".

wrong... you comparing 2 totaly diferent roms... and again this is in all crossbow roms...so how do you call it a bug in my rom?
i fact this thread should not exist because there is no other roms that can be compared to?
if you people want to compare o slag anyones work at least make sure that the 2 roms have the same core, dont you think?

Well, going official doesn't necessarily protect you from bugs. The majority of the cooked roms here don't have major issues (at least not ones that the "official" roms don't have) It will be a while (6 to 8 weeks probably) until we see an official WM6 upgrade for the cingular and/or T-Mobile variants of the hermes. And the newer radios offer major improvements over the "shipped" radios.
Edit: Oops forgot which forum I was in. There most likely will NOT be an official WM6 upgrade for the Wizard devices from Cingular and T-Mobile. The Hermes devices MAY get an upgrade, all new capable phones this year will come with WM6.
the Wizard/MDA/8125 will NOT be getting an official WM6 update. The phone has been discontinued and HTC is not making WM6 ROM for it. Just use one of the cooked ones on here. They are better anyways...

You've been around long enough to know there's no such thing!
A factory ROM is far from being bug free and is the slowest ROM you could ever use.
hah.. true.. ive been through two different htc phones and yea.. i admit the cooks on XDA-Dev are the best of them all.. thanks to all of you
and yes.. they are the fastest
i just wanted the most recent one available, which i guess is .1413 and i have that.. so i guess im waiting for an update
I have been adding/deleting features and programs in the new 19202 build that NoThrills has so graciously released to us.
Due to it kaiser designed base, giving it amazing speed(even in complete stock form), I was curious as to how many people would like a cooked version released, with some bug fixes, registry tweaks, and also some added utilities.
If you would like this, please respond letting me know what you would like to see in this release. I have already cooked several versions for my own person use, and modified it for my own use.
Just let me know what everyone would like to see, and ill try my best to release a few builds to accommodate the majority.
First Release of my Hybrid OS 5.2.19202 (Build 19209) can be found here after I upload: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2069244#post2069244
Yes please!
I'd love to see the basic ROM with bug fixes and generic updates to the HTC progs. To many ROMs get stuffed with extraneous crap that isn't useful.
Cook away brother, as I'd enjoy the sampling.
I do not think this is a good build to cook from unless you feel like spending lots of time in the kitchen fixing MS screw ups! Has anyone noticed the screen tearing from the new .dlls? plus there are a few other things I won't mention since most of you haven't played with roms that long to understand what I am talking about.
What specifics would you like to see?
Such as apps to be added/removed
What bugs do you think should have priority?
etc, etc...
uDK just released a version...
I'd like to see a "If HTC could be bothered to put all the fixes and S/W updates in all one ROM, This is how it would look ROM"
Camera Fix
Camera Album
Comm Manager
Video Dialer
Calculator
Little fixes like backlight going out on call.
Removing of the useless Windows Update.
But most Important its clean!!! Fresh...
UC compliant for all us to enjoy the phone our way...
I like flashing other peoples work... But thats their work... The way they want the phone... Yes they add little bits and take bits out on request sometimes... But how nice would it be to have our own way...
Argh 1st post other than just a thanks so I babbled and lost my self...
Thanks for your suggestions. I am working on these fixes as I type.
So far I have completed this:
- Working Video Dialer
- Comm Manager(6 Button)
- Latest HTC Album
- Camera Fix(Latest which i have seen)... PLEASE post the cab that contains which fix you are speaking of.
- Calculator
- GPS Test
- Office and OneNote has been removed in the lite version
- Welcome Center removed
- HSDPA Icon added
- HTC Plus added(disabled by default)
- HTC Home updated(now with tab under today settings)
- And more!
all the latest htc apps.....audio manager,home,album etc.....plus total comander is a must...thanks

Well, I'm not a professional cook. But I flashed about every ROM that was ever out here, both on my Hermes and my Kaiser.
And despite of your reactions, AllTheWay and Austinsnyc, I really really dig this ROM. Never had a faster and snappier ROM before (even not Dutty's), no single freeze for 4 days, never needed to softreset.
I don't use voicecommander, but I dó use bluetooth (carkit, external phone), GPRS, HSDPA, phone, TomTom, Navigon, PointUI, PZPTools, etc. It all works great!
Yes, there are some problems reported, but aren't they also with Dutty's, Schaps, Alex's?
And yes, it may be a cooked ROM, but for me it's really worth further developing...

Never going to happen until a carrier is going to release it, so why even bring it up?
Just found this article over on Engadget that proclaims that (via Twitter) Microsoft has announced that 6.5 has, indeed, gone gold.
Engadget Post here.
Cool, but haven't most of us flashed to some cooked v. already? Neat, but mundane-ish.
Sounds great! I hope microsoft will release it soon.
Can I still get it when my phone isn't flashed and is still on default software?
Ok, for those of you who had the at&t "Tilt" (Kaiser), if we use the same timeline....MS RTM'd 6.5, let's say they ship it in July. If we use that as a benchmark, and remember how long it took at&t to release 6.1 for the Tilt, it will be December 09 at the EARLIEST before we could see (if at all) 6.5 show up "officially" on the Touch Pro. LOL.......
If it wasn't for the cooks on XDA, we'd be slaves to whenever the carriers would get around to releasing updates. "Timely manor" is not in their vocabulary.

Chill man, it's sarcasm. Did ya notice the eyes rolling? But it's not going to be a whole lot diff except for hopefully less buggy, and the beta's I've been running have been really pretty solid for the most part. I'm looking forward to this as much as anybody. Lets loosen up. Life's way to short.
Good news, but I don't think there will be many differences with current custom 6.5 roms. Of course it's good to have the latest stable version as the base for custom roms.

He has the default wm6.5 interface (called chrome) & the tf3d interface. You simply toggle the one you want from the today screen.
My Fuze is MUCH faster... no screen lag, even when rotating. I'm still using the TF3D interface, haven't had much time to tinker with anything...too busy at work.

I have been waiting for 6.5 to be out of beta before flashing. I will probably flash 6.5 tonight anyways...even if 6.5 is gold...it will be awhile before we get our hands on an offical release.
Yeah, if you have an at&t fuze....I remember when the 6.1 update came out...it took at&t over 6 months to finally release it "officially".
The 6.5 is the first "cooked" rom I've used. I won't use a "carrier" rom update
again. These are for lack of another term, bloat free.
This one has a few apps and some really nice tools that i download and install
anyway. The program "update" utility is really nice to have.

Im very sure this is a noob question but how do I get WM 6.5? My AT&T Fuze (which is aparently the "raphael" ) I have 6.1 and whenever I use WM update it tells me I have the latest version. wtf. or is 6.5 even officialy out yet?

It's not officially out yet as I understand.
The link posted within the quote from my post above will take you where you need to go for the 6.5 rom. I haven't done it yet and it was really painless on my Tilt when I had it.
I am assuming that this ROM doesn't contain the bloatware that we have to deal with in the official "AT&T" ROM. I mention this cause there was a little trick that had to be done in order to bypass the bloatware load. It really wasn't that tough although it did take me a coule of tries before I got it right.
If you haven't modified your phone much then just follow the instructions. If you've added software and other tweeks... you will have to reload them again (based on the reply from "p51d007").
If you need help this board is awesome. Also you can send me a PM and I'll try to help best I can.
Anyone knows what change in this update?

I've tried custom ROM's cooked from this version, and I've been using this official release from HTC for a couple of days... there is no difference at all in battery drain, and I would even suggest that this official ROM is smoother and speedier than some of the cooked ROM's I've tried! Each to their own
The main HTC website will not accept my serial number - is there any where else to get this rom?
cheers

I've tried custom ROM's cooked from this version, and I've been using this official release from HTC for a couple of days... there is no difference at all in battery drain, and I would even suggest that this official ROM is smoother and speedier than some of the cooked ROM's I've tried! Each to their own

Spot on. I think the other poster never tried the latest official rom because it is faster and the battery is slightly better than most of the custom roms I have used. I think this one is keeper just for the faster Manila 2.5 (faster than any custom rom using the Rhodium/Topaz friendly Manila). Navigation is much more fluid.
thanks for the link looby.
Is this rom network unlocked? as my current one is sim free and works on any network?
cheers

I'm in Australia (part of Asia Pacific)- which ROM should I use??
New Topaz ROM..
There is another thread on this ROM upgrade if you search. I saw this on it I don't know if it is what you are looking for..
Asia WWE 2.53.707.4 is now available: http://www.htc.com/sea/SupportViewNe...15&news_id=599
HTC tell me my serial number is an eastern-european handset. Does anybody know if I can still use the WWE Rom?
Is this the same exact ROM which Htcpedia posted long time ago?
Can someone confirm if adding words to T9 works, does it remember?
can anyone confirm that this is an Asia and UK rom only? as i understand it, this update is not available for North America, correct?
As far as I test on this new ROM, I think the only slow part is the home tab, it may probably cause by the buttom shortcuts, if you hide them, the performance will be better.
Other than this small issue, I think generally it perform much better than the previous official ROM, not just the major improvement of the user interface, but also the program running performance.
Can someone advise as to the version of WinMo in this upgrade? Is it 6.5 or have HTC moved to 6.5.x? Am debating whether to go for this or stay where I am.
Thanks in advance.

According to Settings it's just 6.5 Professional.
Hope that helps.
It does thank you...but it is a shame that they have not taken the opportunity to advanc the version of WinMo...but then I suppose that we should be thanksful that they have taken the trouble to offer a Sense update.
