MyFaves (from NEO) for WM 6.1 Phones?

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

URGENT QUESTIONS re WM 6.5

Hi All,
Just contemplating upgrading from 6.1 to 6.5 and have a few questions, that I hope you fellas can help me with:_
1. I use sprite backup - So could I roll back to 6.1 and my phone as it was after upgrading to a 6.5 ROM?
2. Will TomTom Navigator 6 still work with WM 6.5 as it does with WM 6.1?
3. What is the most stable/best WM 6.5 ROM out their?
4. How will Pocket informant run on WM 6.5
Big thanks in advance of any assistance.

1) You would have to load up a 6.1 ROM then restore your backup. It is recommended that you NOT restore your back up on a 6.5 ROM.
2) I don't use TomTom, but it should work just as it did with WM6.1. I've read where people say it works fine.
3) This is everyone's own opinion. I'm running RRE. Da_G just released an updated base ROM, which is great if you like bare bones. Shep's is also good from what I hear.
4) Not sure about that, I've never used Pocket Informant.

Thanks for the time taken to input into my thread
I do like bare bones, so Da_G might be the way forward for me.
1.What is it like on battery life?
2. Do you get the normal black theme, as opposed to fancy stuff?
3. How have you found its stability?
Many thanks again.

Personally Shep's rom is the best. I have found the battery life to be nothing short of exceptional!
Frequently arrive home after 11 hours of use with 85%+ left. Emails polling every 15 mins, internet usage and text messaging useage and frequent phone calls.

What Radio are you using with that m8?

I also like Da G's ROM, it's minimal and really good on battery life. Also, I'm not sure if it's the ROM or 6.5, but my GPS seems to be much more responsive. Previously I was using an AT&T test ROM with Rhodium Manila and it wasn't nearly as nice... the UI takes a li'l bit to get used to and it doesn't offer as much as TF3D, but it's incredibly stable.

as for Pocket informant it appears that WM6.5 has changed a few things. and most 3rd party cal. are having issues. I tried SBSH Calendar Touch and PI. PI crashed randomly and SBSH did not display recurring appointments. Hopefully those apps will fix it as soon as MS releases the documentation on WM6.5. Check out there forums and search a little if you want ot find out more.
As for ROM play and test them... I am using PROvens because I liked the way Rhodium was already installed and titanium was removed. but I am sure others have done the same.
Have a great day.

I'm using Radio 1.02.25.10
Really I can't speak highly enough of Shep's work!

titanium/chome for winmo 6.1

ok, I searched and hunted and didn't find the info I was looking for, so I'll ask in here. I've got a fuze, and I'm getting a bit tired of tf3d/manila and I was wondering if anyone had a functional chome/titanium plugin that would work with winmo6.1 NOT 6.5. I don't run 6.5 I found a lot of chome for smartphones, but none for PPC's. anyone have anything before I try to blow my phone to bits installing old software for a different phone?
Thanks.

WM Professional <> WM Standard intercompatibilty for PIM data

hi all
well, im delving back into the Smartphone scene once more after my original Tornado device got stolen (i was the original developer of WM6 for it if you all remember along with philip!)
I've purchased my shiny new Blackjack II and its on its way
the only thing that im wondering is,
is there any software out there, free/commercial which will allow me to sync my SMS inbox/email/contacts/calender between both my PocketPC Touch Pro and my WM Standard BJ2
any ideas?
many thanks

Use PPCPimBackup or use Microsoft MyPhone!

many thanks for your reply.
Just to confirm,
Does PPC PimBackup work on a backup made off a windows mobile professional device.
Many thanks

yup, no problem whatsoever. i have used it to sync my pro and std device.

[Q] OS Question

Greetings All,
I am a newbie to any sort of forum and I wish to express my thanks in advance for your help.
I have been a WM (HTC Tilt WM 6.1) user for 4 years. Just recently I have been having issues with my phone and I need to purchase a new phone, but I totally confused on what to purchase.
My Tilt has the following programs installed, that I use on a daily basis:
Voice Command, Note2Self, SPB Wallet, SK Tools, Skype, Handy Shopper, in addition to the WM Office suite.
These are the programs that work well for me and I am comfortable with.
My question is this>
Can a widows 7 Phone do all the above or do I find a used WM 6.1 or 6.5 phone…will I like WM 6.5 better?
Or dare I say it…an Android?

Since your a windows mobile user and I'm guessing your most familiar with that os I suggest the touch pro 2 or the HD2. The touch pro 2 because it's a user friendly device, nice sized keyboard and purely reliable. The hd2 is also a nice pick it has a 4.3in screen an extremely fast processor and the touch is pretty sensitive/similar to the iPhone. You can go to htc.com to check the specs and see what you like best.
These are both 6.5 wm capable phones and the HD2 can flash wp7. I personally like winmo over android because of office suite but android is not bad either.

thanks for the info...what does "flash wp7" mean?

The HD2 has a very active dev community and one of the things they have accomplished is to port other operating systems to the device. So you have a choice now between keeping it on the stock WM6.5, or 'flashing' an alternative OS like WP7 or Android.
If you bought one yourself you would have the added bonus of being able to use the apps that you are familiar with.

Thanks for your thoughts.
What about the new HTC Inspire...any thoughts?
