WM6.1 nothing great.....a big disappointment :(

Just gave wm6.1 a spin.....and what can i say
PROS:
- threaded sms
- easier exchange server configuring (auto configures)
- quicker, and seems stable as of now
- solves the password screen locking the start menu bar bug
CONS:
- nothing new or different on the today screen
- nothing visually different
- same old applications, same old interface, same old same old
- its just the same old wm6 people, so, if you by chance felt like your life was coming to an end and you were waiting for wm6.1 to make it on your unis and once again get your juices flowing.....forget it.
- a2dp support seems like its missing!
- "Use High resolution" in internet explorer no longer there
- its highly frustrating to see MS drop in the "Task manager" application from their smartphone OS and market it as an "improvement".....grrr
- a sad "Getting Started" today plugin.....please, someone give me a break!
Anyway, life goes on, the same old sorry way......photon? android? hmph....

tbh what did you expect?
This of the change as akin to winxp vanilla and sp1 not winxp and vista.

no kidding.. even with less things.
i can confirm a2dp isnt working eother and internet explorer high resolution isnt even there ..
the wm5 latest tmobile rom has these!!
i give them one thing though, it is snappy and seems stable so far.
seems they increased the card cache size since when you start a song in media player it starts skipping and stuttering.. well that can always be fixed later.

Hmmmm, are we talking here about the real WM6.1 or the PDAViet build ported to Universal?
The cons/limitations are probably porting problems, at the moment the few who can confirm these are midget_1990 & mamaich. Besides, WM6.1 is not probably meant to be a version upgrade but a release update (i.e. SP2 in XP). I don't know too!

Where can I fing WM6.1?

6.1 is just an update not upgrade.
What I can say is this is a build ported from a QVGA device to a VGA device.
Now pls wait for our gurus to release a complete built.
I can run a2dp perfectly, it is just a matter of porting only.
We see here now lot's of build coming..just b patient for the same

Well, as MS screwed up on Photon release which was to be somewhere during 2008....and because google gave them a freak-surprise with Android....MS suddenly commited for a WM6.1 release.
I thought WM6.1 will be atleast a few features intended to go into Photon to keep Windows Mobile alive against upcoming competition (Android based phones scheduled to hit somewhere in Q3).
But turns out that Wm6.1 is just the same stuff....like you said, an sp1 release!
The least i expected was a changed today screen with a new interface which i kept reading about on so many forums....turns out people mistook this from the smartphone version they saw....
Anyways, cheers guys, trying to be happy with what we've got!!
Cant wait for the **actual** roms to start coming out from all our rom gurus out here....
Cheers!
San

The rom circulating over the forum these hours is a fake.

fake or not?

Hi Win_XP, my take on the fake issue HERE!

Hopefully Midget will fix the situation with disconnecting SD cards.... I'm not the one who had this problem when usual SD card 2gb is disconnected on no reasons and you have to slide out/in to get it worked...

This ROM is the fastest and the only one that doesn't have problems in its functions, never freeze and the most reliable one. I'm using it with old 1.09 RADIO ROM and battery is the same like having WM5.
You can try to argue everything, but this is really example of complete ROM.
Thanks PDAVIET.

HTC P4300 Business Edition ROM CE OS 5.2.1622 Build 18128 AKU 4.4 (updated 6/12/09)

This is a 18128.0.4.4 ROM build based on PeterPetrelli's Wizard port of the AT&T 8525 WM6 ROM. It is a mix of old and new components, so if you don't like old stuff, you may not want to flash it. It is not built using the Hypercore kitchen (Tadzio's tools) so the ULDR space is still there. The today theme is the wasabi green HTC_default.tsk from the HTC 4350 official ROM along with the same green dialer and comm manager. When you change from or to the HTC theme, you must manually soft reset to change the dialer skin even though you click the "ok" on the dialog box. It's smooth, fast and very stable. The ROM is easily extracted, but I put it together as a factory ROM, so all of the programs are in the OEMAPPS package instead of separate. When you extract it for kitchen use, no OEM-side folders are in the SYS side.

aku4.4?????????????????????????
what's this?????????????????????
don't know!

Hey jwzg!
Always been around with new surprises, don't ya?
I've just installed this build and up to now, no complains. Really smooth, stable and fast as mentioned!
I also already dumped to start cooking over it. Let you know how was it after flashing...but it seems ok. I got OEM, XIP, SYS all together.
Thanks for sharing...

AKU 4.4 is the adaptation kit upgrade used for the Kaiser and Hermes WM6 ROM's. It's not meant for the Wiz, but it is the most stable, ported base ROM there is.
epiamazzo, I'm glad you're giving this a whirl. I've had this ROM in .308 build sitting on my old laptop for almost a year. It was on my old Qtek 9100 when I lost it leaving China. I just brought over all of the OEM files and tweaked the .dsm files so everything would be in the right place if someone decided to cook it. The only thing missing is the Lockstream DRM files, and I don't think anyone knows how to make those work outside of their original ROM.
UPDATE: I'm going to put the Network Wizard back in, since I finally got it to work. I'll upload it in a day or two, but everything else should stay the same.

Is this WM5? I do realise that its posted on WM6 section... but I thought that AKU 3.3 was the latest WM5... so I'm wondering...

It's WM6 for sure. I just updated my signature.

I downloaded and flashed last night
No issues to report, the items I use, wi-fi,sms, phone, you know - the basics, are working very well. Bluetooth works also
Quick and reliable - thank you
Installed pocketcm, thumbcal,srs wow,tcpmp - everything works

jwzg, if you're going to upload a new version, the only thing i noticed was that devauth and sqm could probably be removed. i made my own already, but for others
very nice base! glad to see not everything now is 6.1 btw, i don't understand how its 18128 if the rom reports 1622... i imagine that its because of the merging...

The ROM upgrade for the Hermes has that OS and build number. I just flashed one last week. The XIP was ported by PP and the drivers are taken directly from the .308 build. There wasn't much else done. Either way, it's still one of the best ROM's I've run for quickness and stability. Kind of a businessman's ROM.

good,thx

I'm pulling the VoIP packages from the ROM for now. It seems that everything connects, but I can't seem to get audio from the speaker. I don't know what's causing it, but this is not an issue with .308 build. Network Wizard is back in and working. Other than that, no changes.

I downloaded the file but when I try to extract the file I'm asked for a password. I'm using 7-Zip to extract. Any ideas?
Thanks bwesty; I'll get my coat :-(

Maybe you should read the first post.....
This is easily the most stable rom since the Ingenetics / 318 build. I'm so impressed by how stable and responsive this rom is. I have yet to find a single bug in this rom. This is definitely a keeper in terms of wizard roms.
Keep up the good work jwzg.

I can't believe people are wasting their time with 6.1 builds when we have solid official base roms such as this. Likewise I can't believe that more people havent tried this rom. That's terribly disappointing. One unmentionable 6.1 thread on this forum has near enough to 800 posts on it, almost all of them issues with the rom. People would rather have a bug infested 'latest' build than something as solid as this. I will never understand that. I just shake my head.
jwzg, you have done an awesome job with this rom. It has to be the most stable wizard rom that I have seen. It's simplicity with no bugs for the businessman that adore stability.

Couldn't agree with you more. You've done such a great job with this rom. Worthy of a signature change.

PP I'm awfully flattered. I still have a few bugs to get out including a non-working BT activation of VSD (I think). I'd like to see a bit more beta testing on some of these 6.1 ROMS, but we'll never know the limits unless they are pushed.

I was wondering few things before I flash this rom.
1. Does it have micro office?
2. is there a way to get the sms/mms to thread like in the 6.1 rom?
How are the reports on blue tooth? any dropped or missed connections? Right now i'm trying a 6.1 rom and it drops my headset and i have to restart blue tooth and head set...

wow nice job man! Thanks for putting it all together

Just a thought, maybe you could keep an updated short list of maybe the top three performing ROMs in one of your posts (so people can see quickly which ROMs are performing best).
Thanks for putting all the info! Super useful!

I will keep everything updated.
My plan is to post another separated benchmark to newer ROMs, which are daily updated, so i can keep it clear and up to date with bench.
I need some time first, to benchmark all other roms. I think it could be usefull.

Very good bro!
Really outstanding mate. U have to spent many hours to flash, benchmark, flash... OMG But i think the results may vary with different cache setting. am i right? Salute to u mate!

perfect! thanks for this useful work!!
Stick it...

**My respect and kudos to ALL of the chefs**
Sorry to burst your bubble. I am sure this is a lot of work. There really isn't much of a difference is there? Seems to me that the important lesson from this spreadsheet is to choose a Rom that works and has what you're looking for (or that you can add on to).

Must agree
Lot of work for a similar result. Thank you for this. Funny enough it does show how close they are in performance, maybe a couple of stock roms would show more?
Choosing a rom that suites you is what the chefs do for themselves while contributing.
Wish all the luck to our chefs here for going through some hassles while just wanting to contribute.
Would love to see more chefs and have the old ones come back but I understand like being a moderator it is a job that you can never please everyone.

Rom Benchmarking
Hi, Apsolutely top job. I have actually been doing the same thing all weekend looking for the fastest, most reliable rom.
I will give you a few screen shots if it can help you save some time on the benchmarking. I have compared the the Romeus 3.5 rom with your scores and they resemble similar marks
The way I did it was flash, Hard reset, install SPB Bench, Plug into power point and run spb benchmark. I did not have any wireless or bluetooth on, didnt install anything else, had the screen on full brightness and to never turn off while on external power. Somebody please correct me if I have done anything wrong, as benchmarking is new for me.
With the excel spread sheet are you able to add a total column after the cookers name so that it sums the entire row or times. This provides a little easier comparison at the beginning.
Hope I can help.

But there are few things that i want to do. I would like to run benchmark on one device, I mean, that all benchmarks are done with only one Kaiser.
But thank you for that, it will be usefull to compare some results!
Im doing benchmark in the same way.
Anyway
Things to do:
- I want to test every ROM, not only with SPB, but with myself - that means, I want to test GPS, speed overall, radio tests (with only one specified in thread) and overall sensation.
- Why I'm using excel - i want to add comments for ROMs like i did with D3D drivers section,
- Im working on the new sheet,
o I want to implement comments,
o I want to implement more results (from SBP, thoose, which you see on benkus83 screens,
o I want to show which ROM is best in what thing, using same pattern as i done on D3D drivers - Best (green background), and worse(red background) result.
I may be out of time today, cause i have really many things to do in job, and much more in personal. I will try my best to update this today.

---EDIT---
haha - told you it's the fastest

It should, mate! great ROM - using it with pleasure
the fact that there's not that much posts in your thread only shows how stable and bugfree it is
waiting for updates from you

I will update thoose ROM's today:
- Garmin DK.1 AVAILABLE!
- Garmin DK.1.2 AVAILABLE!
- Garmin DK.2 AVAILABLE!
- ROMeOS v3.1 AVAILABLE!
- Yardie 2.1 AVAILABLE!
- Jack's 2.1 AVAILABLE!
- Jack's 2.2 AVAILABLE!
and I will try some more of them.

Well if you are worried about similar results please note the following:
A lot of the tests revolve around RAM and CPU performance, these will (and should) be very close to identical through all ROMs.
Storage tests will differ more because different ROMs use different cache tweaks.
Graphics/Video performance is only tested at the basic level and since we don't have proper 2D drivers yet it's not strange that the differences are small.
If 3D, DDraw, QTV, GAPI, OpenGL etc. were added to the tests I bet we'll start to see more of a difference.
And also another very important point: this is not the end all benchmark.
Some of the ROMs tested in this sheet that I have tried feels VERY fast while others feels as sluggish as the stock ROM, yet their test results are similar.
Personally I'm using Gollums ThrottleDiamond right now and it's by far the fastest ROM I ever used, yet my benchmark results are not that different from previous ROMs I've used.

Stay motivated buddy, we all know that's a lot of work. I suggest this thread to be sticky. What do you all think?

But they are still different. Anyway, as you know i can't add D3D/ DDraw, QTV etc tests right now as they are not available.
I want to update the thread when something will new will come and I will do it allover again! This thread will be updated as fast as I can do it.
I'm doing it, because i hope that someone find it usefull.

What's the news of WM6.5????????

HI Folks,
They are starting to talk of windows 6.5 on the blue angel site, has anyone else heard of anything on here. I didn't even know it was out yet

haven´t heard anything more than this:
Steve Balmer says:
"We could see 6.5 released in the first couple months of 2009"
http://gizmodo.com/5079437/steve-ballmer-confirms-windows-mobile-65
That one was back in november, if anyone has more info please share!

There is a cook on blue angel forum that is cooking one now HERE

Yeah I saw that but I don´t think we´ll see that ROM "finished" till the same dates as 6.5 will be expected (Hope I´m wrong)
Hope other members can share their info or opinions

In China, some rom cookers hv already flashed the WM 6.5, AKU1.8.2 and AKU 5.0, but it seems that they dont wanna release yet

Windows Mobile 6.5 is AKU 5.0.0 obviously.
Also you should not think that WM65 will have big changes at this moment - it seems to me, WM65 now have only different name from WM61, but still continue WM61 development line.
It's like different WM61 builds (small features added in new builds), but with new name

It would make sense that it is just a revamped 6.1 in true microsoft style Im looking forward to WM 7.0 though.......I think LOL

you don't understand me right...
for us it can have small changes now, because we see small changes with each new build. Now it just new name...
new features will be added in new builds IMHO. Not all at one time.
They have a lot of time up to release date

Here is some chinese WM6.5 release for Universal:

再次提醒，现有的WM6.5仍然是beta状态的，所以会有不少bug。 Once again reminded that the existing state of WM6.5 is still beta, so there will be a lot of bug. 像我试出来的就有coreplayer不能正常横屏，百战天虫运行不了……或许也跟我的移植技术有关吧，反正我也是一个菜鸟，正在不断摸索。 I tried out as there is not a normal cross CorePlayer screen, Worms World Party is running can not ... ... and perhaps with my transplant technology now, anyway, I too am a rookie, is constantly exploring.
终于把三个版本都给K完了！ All three versions have finally finished K! 目前正在上传。 From currently. 还是要说一下，因为小弟的技术有限，不会HEX，所以在“关于”那里看到的还是“Windows Mobile 6.1”。 Or to say a little bit, since younger brother technology is limited, not HEX, so in the "on" where to see or "Windows Mobile 6.1". 但是核心已经是WM 6.5的了，所以在此斗胆写成WM6.5。 But the core is already in WM 6.5, so in this venture into WM6.5. 如果你很介意这个信息，那么请不要使用这些ROM，免得到时你用得不高兴来说我怎么怎么样，搞得我也不高兴！ If you mind this information, then please do not use these ROM, free to be used when you upset me how to how to run, I am not happy to do! 这个核心是来自sun_dream发布的D700 WM 6.5模板，感谢sun_dream！ This is the core of sun_dream released from D700 WM 6.5 templates, thank sun_dream! 刚才测试了一下，电话、短信、声音都没出现明显的问题。 Just test a bit, telephone, SMS, voice no apparent problems. 至于之前新闻上说的WM6.5的界面有什么什么变化，我应该也没弄上去， 所以除了内核以外，外观等其它方面都应该跟之前的6.1版一样 。 As said before the news of what WM6.5 interface changes, I should not get up, so in addition to the kernel, the appearance and other aspects should not be the same as the previous version 6.1.
在这想请机油们帮忙测试：Flash Disk、蓝牙、与电话有关的（GPRS、电话、短信等）方面，看一下有没有问题，因为我自己的自用版是集成了Broadcom蓝牙驱动，所以没有办法测试微软的蓝牙驱动有没有问题；我的自用版在K出来以后也就没剩多少空间，所以也没弄Flash Disk，而只有这些上传的ROM里弄了这个，所以Flash Disk的情况我也没办法测试。 In this oil they would like to ask the help of test: Flash Disk, Bluetooth, and telephone-related (GPRS, telephone, SMS, etc.) to look at if there are any problems, because my own personal use version is integrated Broadcom Bluetooth driver, so there is no way test Microsoft's Bluetooth drivers have no problem; my version of the K out of their own after not much room left, so did not get Flash Disk, and only those ROM upload the neighborhood, so the case of Flash Disk I did not approach to testing. 至于与电话有关的，因为我的D900主要是作为PDA来用的，也就是说电话功能一般是不开的，所以这一块也要请机油们自行测试，多多反馈，谢谢！ As with the telephone-related, because my D900 is to use as a PDA, which means phone features are generally not open, so it is a piece of oil were also invited to test a lot of feedback, thank you!
已发现一个BUG，CorePlayer在非全屏的状态下不能横屏！ Has found a BUG, CorePlayer in the non-full-screen state can not cross screen! 不过全屏播放是正常的。 However, full-screen playback is normal.
好了废话不多说，介绍一下特性： Well nothing to add to that nonsense, tell us about the characteristics:

I flashed my Uni with this one 6.5 rom and for now it's good, speed is good, start up free memory - 25 mb, touch scrolling has some improvements, standart 6.1 look, stable, camera don't work, only Chinese

There is no WWE version yet, only Chinese

Win_XP, could you please upload it somewhere else? I try to download it, but have only error message that "Server Busy, please come back later"

I'm working on WM6.5 beta but not sure when you can test it.
cheers

Tomal, I'm looking forward to the new 6.5 windows mobile. Thaks for your hard work.

Wow Tomal! You're always ahead of the game! Can't wait to test the beta!

Norwegian 6.5 ROM build 28002

Updated:
Finally had time, and access to norwegian files for a new build. Seems a bit faster and more responsive.
New in this version:
- Removed some unused/unnecessary stuff from OEM
- Camera application updated to version 5.04
- Removed taskmanager from the taskbar and replaced it with a norwegian version
- Removed some more stuff from SYS (Uneeded/unwanted)
Bugs:
- The license agreement of MSN is still blank, press "godta"
- The default start page of Interet Explorer does NOT work.
Uploaded to 4shared:
build 28002: here
previous build 23071: here
Make sure you have read this before upgrading
Important:
This ROM does not contain a radio, the radio of your previously flashed ROM will be used
Please let me know if you find any other bugs or problems! This will definitely help me improve my work! (any positive feedback is wanted as well)

Thanks to this fantastic forum I've managed to cook my own norwegian 6.5 ROM based on build 23071. So far it seems to be working very well.
Since I'm not sure about the demand for norwegian ROMs I havn't uploaded it anywhere yet. If youre interested in trying it please post here telling me so.

Hi there.
I like to try your ROM.
Espen

I'll try to find a nice place to upload it as soon as I can, will probably PM with where you can find it.
Things I've done with this ROM is by the way:
Removed:
Transcriber (doesn't recognize norwegian letters anyway)
Autoupdate
IRDA (No infrared on kaiser so this is useless)
Livesearch
MS Money
MS Tag
MS My Phone
Added:
Working version of Windows Live (Since I do use msn occasionally)
Taskmanager
+Some other minor tweaks
Basically a quite clean Rom based on a mix of the OEM of my stock 6.1 kaiser and 6.5 build 23071 SYS.

Very nice and it makes me curious
Hi
Very nice initiative. I have tried most the roms around here, and have had some difficulties with 6.5 roms and have currently gone back to a 6.1 rom, but this makes me interested to try a 6.5 rom again
best regards Rune T. Norway
Added info:
Flashed the rom, and tried it for a little more than a day, but I found it it a little unresponsive for my taste.
I always look for the fastest I can find with the best batterylife, but things is of course a matter of taste, and one seems to get picky after trying all these magnificent roms ;D
I currently use 23053-uncompressed (with only 58Mb free storage at startup), and this is fast and stable.
If you wanted to try and cook a norwegian rom based on this one, it might be a winner for my taste.
RT

I've just installed your ROM and it's working good so far.
Espen

have u got any pictures ? and I hope u can post a english vision as well ;
thanks very much !

Improving
First of all thanks for the response!
Also I will not be cooking an english version of this as there are quite a lot of them out there already (probably a lot better than I could do them too)
Have been working a bit to improve this version built on 23071 for a while, and have made a couple of test builds for myself removing unneeded apps, the duplicate alarm clock shortcut and so on, but have turned to build 23081 simply because I like the magnifier in it. Will probably post it as soon as its ready.
BTW. I've been working on a couple of uncompressed versions as well, most people use the SD-cards for storage anyway.
Might take me a couple of days, maybe weeks as I'm currently playing around with my diamonds and trinitys too...

Great - keep up the good work.
Still no issues with the current version.
Espen

Me WANT
Hi, there i would realy like to try this on, I'm sick of reading eanglish on my kaiser
-Thx
Sorry, i can see clearly now, so i found the download link

Just to let you know
Lately I've been working on the 23081 build, uncompressed. It's fast and responsive, but there's some minor bugs with Internet explorer that I'm trying to fix. I'm looking for the norwegian languge files for 23088 though so if anyone could get me those I'd be very happy....

Remove IE, it sucks anyhow. It's slow and useless.
Add Opera and set it as default browser
Opera 9.7 Beta
The beta works great.

Have been playing with the idea, might try it when I get time, not sure yet how difficult it is to set it as the default browser when I cook it and integrate it into titanium. Will defenitely look into it.

Sounds great
Looking forward to your next build

Finally..
..a new build.
Check out the first post for links.
I have not added opera, you are free to do so yourself

Nice.. I'll check it out over the weekend..

Thanks
Thanks for testing! Please leave me a message telling whats good/bad and so on.
At the moment I'm in the process of cooking a ROM with touchflo 2.0 from the HTC Mega (touch2), seems like there's just a few bugs that I need to get rid of, when (or if?) I get it done I'll upload it if anyone wants it. (Not a huge fan of touchflo on kaiser myself since it doesn't work properly in portrait though)
Not working at the moment:
YouTube (Freezes)
Opera (works, but it's in english)
Dialer (fixed, went back to the built in dialer from WM 6.5)
Comm Manager (fixed, used the original from my HTC Kaiser)

Hi, I have not had the time too test your rom untill now. I'm falshing as we speak I will report back after testing for a few hours..
