hey everyone
first of all i would like to congratulate Dr. Martin Gonzo for his amazing ROM.
now, since i've seen that many people have already tried and are currently using his rom, you definitely have some of your other apps instaled
what i would like to know is:
wich apps do you think work best with the Windows Mobile 6.1 version
or that you find them practical or indespensable
if you can, put a thumbnail of you 6.1 screen
would like to see come cool backgrounds with the 6.1
please share the links if possible
cheers everyone
there is a best apps thread here for wm6.0.
i guess it should be pretty much the same applications for wm6.1 also.
Check out the CHome Configurator. It'll let you customize your sliding panel home screen easily. Here's the link to the excalibur thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=393104
Total Commander, Its got to be the best Freeware File Manager for Windows Mobile. It allows you to work with files in ROM unlike File Explorer, allows you to edit the registry and even has an ftp client built in.

Ok I have done quite a bit of trial and testing before posting this and feel now is the time.
I have installed and tested a good number or custom WM6 roms. See list below:
NBD 7.9
NBD 8.0
NBD 8.1
NBD 8.2
NBD 8.3
NBD 9.0
NBD 9.1
OCTAIVOI's Wizard 3.2
OCTAIVOI's Wizard 4.5
TNT 4.0 Professional
Black Diamond 2.0 Touch
faria-htc wizard...WWE WM6 ROM- [the real thing]
Windows Mobile 6 - Titanium 2 (WM6Ti)
I love flashing new WM6 roms and testing them out but I also rely heavily on 3rd party software that I have to install after the flashing is complete. For every one of these roms mentioned above, I have experienced performance issues(slows down to a crawl) when installing larger amounts of 3rd party software not included in rom.
On thie flip side, when I install T-Mobile's official WM5 rom and then install large amounts of 3rd party software, the performance of the phone isn't affected in the least.
What I would like to see, is a custom WM6 rom with the performance of WM5 after installing large amounts of software. I believe the only way to do this is to change the page pool to 12mb because other than software installed, the pagepool is pretty much the only difference between these WM6 roms and and official WM5 rom I downloaded from T-Mobile.
Here is what I install on every rom I use:
Wisbar Advance 2
Palm Threaded SMS (WM5 or WM6 depending on what rom I am using)
Inesoft Address Book
Resco Explorer
Resco Registry Add-in
Resco Keyboard pro
Batterystatus
Weatherpanel
Chronos
Coreplayer
For WM5 roms I also install:
Touch WMP skin
HTC audio manager
Touch syle dialpad skin
10 button comm manager
When I am running T-Mobile WM5 then installing all of these programs does not impede the performance of the phone whatsoever but every WM6 rom I have tried to date has slowed down to a crawl when installing this software. I dont understand why... It just does.
Right now I dont even have all of my software installed. This is all the software I have installed, not already included in rom:
Wisbar Advance 2
Inesoft Address Book
WM6 Palm Threaded SMS
Thats it and it is running so slow I can't stand it...
of course will find WM 5.0 more stable than WM 6.0 if you install all of these 3rd party apps, WM 5.0 compatibles with all the Apps listed, not like WM 6.0.
- What you have to do??
- find the app effecting on WM6.0 and replace it with newer version (if available).

That sounds like a good idea but when it comes down to it, most of the software I use isn't really available for WM6 yet. For example: Wisbar Advance 2 and Inesoft Address Book.

i didn't read correctly, are you using Inesoft Address Book!! it is the most effector on the system (at least WM 6.0).
we are looking for many of 3rd party applications we are not really using them, so revise yourself and check out the most important apps for your really using and install them, test this thing for a week, then you will know which important, the stability or too many apps .
thats not means i'm not a 3rd party applications user

Good job @bestever! This has been your first useful contribution to the forum. Keep up the good work!
thanks =D
about when will this come out for htc tornado
I wonder if Tornado would still be used as test device for new OS, the reason we have WM6 for our devices is because some internal WM6 tester for Tornado leaked the ROM for us, and Phil removed the ID, and others continued to improve it.
I wonder if WM6.1 is based on the same OS Kernel as WM6, then perhaps it's just the matter of porting certain files
I think WM6.1 is based on the same OS kernel as WM6.
CHOME will be standard, which is what the T-Mobile Shadow's Neo UI uses, and I think also what the cardwheel on Samsung SGH-i600 uses as well.
The CHOME stuff will take up a lot of storage so WM6.1 might fit in a Tornado, but just barely. I tried to port the Shadow ROM with CHOME completely intact, but ran out of space so I gave it up.
Does this Rom for PocketPC?
For cooking WM6.1 to Tornado we must have WM6.1 standart Rom.
looks amazing...
Finally a REAL update to the OS! instead of using loads of external apps!
Has anyone looked into getting MyFaves ported to work with WM 6.1 phones? It would be amazing if this could be made available in the Sliding Panel interface. If I can be of any help, point me in the proper direction. I have a Tornado and Startrek with WM 6.1 on them and can test on both. I'm waiting until this is all working before I put 6.1 on my Shadow.

Not sure if you've seen it, but some of the ROM cookers (like for the DASH) have included a simple photo dialer in their roms that fit inside a sliding panel. It doesn't do all the MyFaves stuff like show birthdays, manage the five, etc. but it does let you call or SMS the five, each in his own slide.
(Just for clarification)
Chome Configurator also lets you add this dialer to an existing rom that doesn't have it,for photo contact dialing/sms.
what we need to wait for is t-mobile to offer a wm 6.1 phone and rip the myfaves from it and then put it on our custom 6.1 roms
untill then we are stuck without a full myfaves on custom roms
Hello, I'm searching for a chef to cook something good for my HP iPaq Data Messenger, I think this pda has a lot of potential, but the built-in WM6.1 is too slow and buggy
It would be great to have a good ROM for this phone! Thanks to everyone that's working on this!

ROM 6.5 for HP ipaq data messenger (HP Oak)
I have tried to find ROM 6.5 for HP ipaq data messenger (HP Oak), but not found
Please help me or please cook for me.
Thanks
I am looking for a new version of Windows Mobile for "HP iPAQ Data Messenger".
Can anyone tell me the code name or the HTC Gert, which is identical in construction?
Hi guys,
did anyonbe identify the ata messenger?
Which HTC version would it be?
tx
any updates?
There should be no reason why it can't be updated. The old ipaq got a update.
I'm also looking for the WM6.5 update for the HP Data Messenger, HP Oak, but no luck!
Not sure if compatible choices is the right move?
Anyone tried?
Not to be found
Also looking for WM 6.5 ROM for the Data Messenger, but so far I've had no luck and I have looked for it vigorously !
Also looking for data messenger 6.5 rom
Hi I am also looking for data messenger 6.5 ROM, anyone cooking it?
I will donate to anyone how can have a 6.5 rom for data messenger.
Thanks
Guys, there is currently no 6.5 ROM out and I doubt there will ever be one since the Data Messenger was discontinued November 2009. (In other words, none are gonna be made anymore, those around are the last ones).
I think all you guys want is a phone with more eye candy and touch friendlier. So I recommend these apps that I have on my Data Messenger to make it awesome:
SPB Mobile Shell
Opera Mobile 10 (Free)
Resco Explorer
Resco Photo Manager (Or you can go with the free HTC Album App)
HTC Dialer (Free)
ROM
Hi, thanks for that list, I already installed mobile shell and the phone is a lot more usable and stable but still it sometimes crashes.
I gather that HP won't release any new version for it, but I was hoping that someone here would try to cook a rom for it.
Thanks
It is the worst device I have bought in my all live!
No assistance, no Update, no Battery live, too many bugs... too many crash...
I was forced to buy a new device.
HP... never more!!!
ANOTHER Data Messenger ...
wen i bought it 10 months ago i was pretty sure that it can be valid(hp...)
i found it unusable but i installed several applications, and now is more eyecandy...
Home Screen ++
personlized, Pocket cm contact
Pocket cm keyboard, enhanced file explorer,
Mortplayer(but it crashes really often)
and various other things...
but now is a bit slow...
i can cook a rom but i can't find resources;
what kind of program i need? and about compatibility or driver?
if you have possibility to find a wm6.5 to kook i'll be pleasured to create a rom...
Thanks to all!!!!
Somebody can help me?My HP data messenger was can't boot anymore.When i hard reset after that it's doesn't come back.How can I do that?
I want to boot from computer.Can I?
Hello,
I think about flash ROM, but I want to hear your views on ROM, which has come out, if I do have meaning or not.
Are newest ROM better then original WM 6.0??
Thank you for your opinions and advice
6.1 is probably the best.
runs great, no bugs, fast.
6.5 has newer features, and a much better interface, but has a bit slower response time, and uses a bit more ram.
when you go to install one of them, try them both out. it only takes a few minutes to flash, and it will give you a better idea of which you prefer.
and how it is with sms?? Can I restore it in WM 6.1???
can you post links to download WM 6.1?? But no lite edition or edition with x-apps...i need normal edition...
thank you
You can backup your messages with different tolls like Sk-tools or SPB Backup.
The WM6.1 ROM you will find here (http://rapidshare.com/users/PJNMEM/?byfilename=1&password=&subpassword=) at the very end of the page, it si called:
Treo750_OS5_2_19199WWE_STD.rar
How can I backup sms?? With spb backup, please heeeelp, or sk tools
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299705
that would be another easy way, just install the cab, ... select the things you want to backup, and where to, and it do it.
this would be an option if you want to move everything to your outlook --> http://www.jeyo.com/extender.asp
or in case you want to backup it online, use MS Myphone
once you installed one of these things they should be mpore or less selfexplanatory
good luck
resco is the best backup and restorer of contacts, messages and stuff, imo.
