Just a quick news. In a Chinese forum (koxo) some guys are cooking a ROM with all the icons and pictures replaced with new aero style ones. It is on the development and they are inviting beta-testers. I think it will be ready soon.
Here is the icons they are planning to use.

Chinese cookers are very active as there are tens of WM6 ROMs available now for Tornado.
Dutty and Chef's,
I am not sure if any of the devices like Kaiser can be ported with this new mobile OS(?). Its a open source. Developers, have a look and try to make something out of it.
http://www.ubuntu.com/products/mobile
people have been working on getting linux working on the hermes for a very long long time and not much came from it so i don't think much work will be done for the kaiser at this time. Maybe in a year or so but this is not something that new and there is no real benefit from porting it to the kaiser
Sorry, I thought this is something new. Mod, please delete / lock this post if you feel so.

I hope so!, I see the standard version of WM6.1 for Smartphone and the interface improvements are amazing! in other hand the profesional version we had seen until now has only cosmetic improvements in its interface.
Here's the video of the WM6.1 standard
when will this become available for official upgrade?
Officialy out but not available!!!! "Yet"

Inquiry About Windows Mobile 6.1
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I sent HTC an e-mail inquiring about the ROM release of Windows Mobile 6.1 for the AT&T Tilt and this was there response.
Quote:
Hello Matthew,
Thank you for your inquiry
We know it is very important to have all the information on our devices. We will do our best to assist you with this information right away. HTC has no official documentation or details about the use or release of Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.1. As you may be aware, all updates for our devices can be located at their respective regional web sites. If any future updates will be available for the AT&T Tilt , you will undoubtedly find it on our support web pages listed below:
http://www.htc.com/us/FAQ_Detail.aspx?p_id=67
I hope we have answered your question in detail. Feel free to contact us again if you have any further questions.
HTC Technical Support
http://www.america.htc.com
Also the e-mail I sent to AT&T asking the same question, was told that the manufacturer (HTC) would be providing a ROM update if there was one... So apparently it's still a mystery!

Can someone clarify the following please:
I just noticed some RSS feeds where MS has JUST announced the release of WM 6.1?? How is it we have this forum has had it for months now?
Also- this is my main question - in looking around the web at various video's of WM6.1 there is a new front end that looks pretty nice - how come I never see this on this forum?
Thanks!
same thing as how do people get music CDs before they come out...they get leaked out. and all these roms aren't official. there will probably never be an official copy for kaiser.
and that video is probably for smartphones. Our phones are PPC which contains professional version (touchscreen).

Q1: That's simple. The ROMs you see here are non-official/leaked.
Q2: There's are not so much changes in WM6.1 Professional, but WM6.1 Classic has a new interface/Today Screen.
That's what they show in a lot of videos.

No because Microsoft released wm 6 and 6.1 as a free upgrade. It is the job of your phone provider to port it to their hardware. But the people here cook up custom ROM. So they are just taking the place of the providers doing it.

Presumably though, the providers have signed an agreement to allow them to do this?
I'm just speculating and don't get me wrong, I'd hate to not be able to get hold of cooked roms but the legalities of it all is something thats been on my mind for a while now.
Kind of off topic, but you misspelled "confusion"
Hello
Tomal has requested for us to vote if we are interested in a WM 6.5 rom by him, so let him know by voting now please. Just remember this is still a very buggy rom and not yet on official release so it may be stopped!!!

Yes I realise that, but I thought it was more important to see how people felt about WM 6.5 in general first. If Tomal can make it run well already then Great, but there isn't much point if people are happy to wait if you catch my drift?
Regards
Jay
I'd love to see a new wm6.5 rom.
His 6.1 roms are perfect as is!
Ummmmmm......interest for WM6.5 getting increased!
Tomal WM 6.5 Rom - A good one!
Hi!
I think Tomal should tweak this ROM and make it more useful. Have been using the ROM and started to loving it. Though it has bugs and need often resets yet it can be made much more better with some effort.
Tomal, please do spare sometime and make it better for us to use.

Tomal WM 6.5 beta
I voted for "Wait until it is more stable", because the effort Tomal has to bring, is useless IMO. This is a beta-version and not that stable right now as users want it to be.
I use my cell phone for private things & business. So I need a fast and stable ROM like Tomals great 6.1'ers.
I have no 2nd Uni, only for playing and testing where I can say "Wow...look here: WM 6.5 Beta. I'm the king..."
Thanks Tomal for your great ROMs, but IMHO you should wait, without waisting too much time for a buggy ROM. THe time will come, but not now...
can Tomal stop to play with WM6.5 ?
I think he will get fever if he did
... i hope i'm right
if Tomal can make it stable why we should wait ?
wm 6.5
If you please,Tomal, make the best 6.5 rom for our old universal
Yes!
Yes, definately interested. Tomal v8.5 is one of the greatest pieces of software ever crafted. If you could apply that sorta magic, speed, responsiveness to WM 6.5, wow. Uni rocks!
WM 6.5 is of course already set for finger friendly UI, decent browser and all that, so you even wouldn't need to build much custom touch focused menus and that sorta thing. Hope to see this!
Just my damn screen broke. Lol. Flex cable musta snapped. Working on it...Damn, my other is a JAM, but I miss the keyboard for IM.
See the first look of 6.5 on pocketpcthoughts.com. Looks very neat.
Reflexion:
Why mostly the newbies ask for a 6.5?
Why they refer to Tomal as if they were old friends?
Just my personal reflexion, no ofense to anyone...
Good day,
LET´S PUT SOME VOTES! WE ARE JUST EVEN WITH KAISER
Yesterday WM 6.5 was officially presented in Barcelona, Spain. The question "When will WM 6.5 show up?" was answered by Ballmer with "Somewhere this year".
I hope Tomal will stay at his WM 6.1-projects. But in the end it is his own decision.

Because it is a leaked beta?! Spending time on final versions is more reasonable IMO.
Well... now that Tomal is working on 6.5 and beta1 is out this poll become usless I think
No ofense of course!

While I'll continue to try out the various 6.5-esque builds, I won't be planning to use them for prime-time until *after* a final-version 6.5 of *something* has been released and reverse-engineered.
IMHO, while development/testing time isn't a waste, because it will build experience with what's possible, at least, it certainly is let's say 'naive' to expect to have a fully-working, perfect port of something that's only in beta to start-off with!
Remember - the final WM6.5 hasn't even been released to the manufacturers yet!

The 'naive' quote wasn't directed at you, apologies if you thought it was, but at all those 'newbies' who seem to be continually voting for tomal, etc, to keep on going with 6.5 ROMs *now* <sarcasm>and where is the video-call</sarcasm>
Whatever happened to the FAQ that was mooted for this board, which would start off with "NO, there is NO working video-call on WM 6.x !!"...

It would be a pity if Tomal works on an instable OS. So I voted to wait until a more stabel one comes up.
When it does, Tomal should work on it immediately, so I can have a 6.5 ROM the day after its release
ok, ok, I will let him work on it as long as he needs. Just hope he can make a professional ROM from the overblown funny ROM which has much too much programs in it.
(ROM designers forgot the difference between OS and separate programs; I would love to see a really bare OS with much file memory free so I can install my own programs.)
