hi all,
is there newer wm6 rom than 1.1? if i am not mistaken now all wm6 rom available in this forum is v1.1 (helmi,jwright,darkforce,etc.).
rgds,
jwright and i think darkforce are not based on 1.1. neither are my beta roms (but you can't have yet, setill a few bugs )
I'm still really dissapointed with all of the WM6 ROM releases, the memory management is absolutely dire compared to WM6 on the Wizard.
Running the same apps, I get about 17 to 20mb free RAM on my Wizard, and it doesn't seem to suffer from leaks anywhere near as bad.
On the Universal, after a day of use, it's down to 8mb.
I know it caches more for graphics, but it's still pretty poor.
I guess untill more is commercially released for things to be borrowed from, I'm stuck with it though.
just wait a few days maybe a week, then i should ahve a MUCH better rom.

I agree the memory drops to 8-9mb even if the device is on standby.
Wm6 drawback.

I don't have that kind of problem.
After using some apps and free ram after I get between 17 and 19, sometimes 20Mb.
I've Wisbar, pocketbreeze and ilauncher running on today.
Cheers.
Well, I only run PocketBreeze & iLauncher on my today screen, and regular apps are Live Messenger, MS Reader, Pocket Word & Excel, and Pocket Informant.
These same apps on my Wizard don't cause a problem, but on the Universal they do, on every single WM6 ROM.
Some last longer than others before the memory goes down that far, but in general, the Universal WM6 builds have issues that other devices running WM6 don't suffer from.

Yes I do get upto 18mb . but there is gradual decline in memory. I surely feel there is a leak in all wm6 roms. Lets hope in future we will get a good solution to this.
Same frustrations until just the last several days. Now using arifqur's HK ROM... there's no real leakage (24MB->20MB), and it seems otherwise stable. Very fast, as long as I don;t use WA2.

I pulled out my old Qtek 9100 and I'm going to dedicate it to GPS only. I'm going to use it for Geocaching and Driving directions. I'm looking for the fastest and skinniest WM6 ROM I can find. Any suggestions? I did some searching and have found a couple ROMS that might work but I wanted to get feedback from others on this.
make one for yourself...
that whole touch **** is wizard killer imo.
nbd 9.1 works reallz good. I think that the wm5 couldnt be faster. It true that i have cpu on 260 mhz but i had cpu long time on 195 and the diferences are so minimalistic... Touchflow is good thing, but it should be more costumizable. peace
All of the variations of the TNT 5.0 rom are hands down the fastest that I've ever seen. I've actually gone back to my Wizard from my Hermes while waiting for 3G service to pop up.
The TNT5.0 on the Wizard is noticably more responsive that any of the cooked roms on the Hermes that I've tried so far. Kudos to "It's Right" for an awesome job!
I'm actually looking for the exact same thing - I am moving my Wizard to a GPS-only application, so I want something with absolutely no-frills that will run GPS and nothing else. It will live it's life on a dock connector so battery life isn't an issue (overclock here I come!). Any other suggestions?

Use the WM5SE from dferreira, it really rocks!! looks exactly like WM6 TouchFLO and it's so damned fast!! You gotta try this one out!
I for my part love the TNT rom aswell

I think this is the winner for me. Very professional looking (splash screens and such), fairly lightweight, and very fast. I like that it's tuned for application performance at the expense of free memory, assuming the existence of an external SD card. Does everything I need and (almost) nothing I don't.
hey guys
i'm using the last i-mate wm5 rom version and i'm happy with this it no bugs or problems
i'm thinking about upgrading to wm6 i want to know witch one is the best rom bugs free and i could install arabic lang on it
Regards
any one willing to help ?
i think a lot of people will tell you to try them out and see which one you like.
i wish that the people that have tried them out would make like a rating system and tell us from one to 10 in catergories like which is most stable, faster, .. battery life.. things of that nature.
i myself am still using jwrights, i heard ivan's is better.
i just haven't upgraded for some reason.
I recommend this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=330662 and it's really good. No videocall in this ROM but no videocall in my country...
But WTF, read forum before posting, 3E183563 such topics already...

the problem with your suggestion is that different people use their phone differently which makes the rating system a bit difficult.... one rom may be good for someone while another is not... it may be because of the other softwares installed or the features he/shes uses often or not often... take for example bluetooth connectivity... some will have trouble pairing a device for a specific rom while another will not due to the type of device being paired with...
just my 2 cents though.... this is why most questions like these are almost left unanswered...
looks like i have to try few till i get a new one and i already serached the forum before posting but couldn't get a clear answer
right now i need a good back up tool to save my contacts and sms witch support both wm5 and wm6 witch one i could use ?

Hi all,
Having tried most of the recent ROMS and radios on this forum and have to give massive credit to the ingenuity and skill of the Chefs on here that there is so much choice available. However, I consistently had an issue with GPS fixes.The best initial fix time after a reset, or if I'd not used GPS for a few days, was about 1 minute outside in bright sunshine with no clouds. For cloudy weather this could go up to over 10 minutes. If I tried getting a fix inside at my desk which is next to the window, sometimes I would give up waiting as it just never got a fix (I realise that ordinarily you would not need GPS indoors, but it makes testing on a cold, wet day in the UK a lot easier...)
I tried pretty much everything in various GPS threads, using GPS Test, Quick GPS, disablng A-GPS etc and nothing consistently helped. I could not believe that the Kaiser was so much worse than my old Artemis.
One thread mentioned several folks downgrading to WM6 rather than 6.1 as they claimed this was better. I tried this and hey presto, I now get a cold fix in about 30 secs max, on a good day it can be 10-15 secs. At the same desk above, I get a fix in about 30 secs too. Not only that, my device in use seems to feel faster and things like screen rotate on opening the keyboard seem more so (this is subjective, not measured it).
This made me wonder what the advantages of WM6.1 actually are. From searching around, the list of things that apparently differ are :
Threaded SMS
Speed Increases
PIE Zoom Out
Task Manager
Office One Note
Of these, there are alternatives to most of them :
Threaded SMS use PocketCM,
PIE Zoom use Opera,
Task Manager - many alternatives,
One Note use TouchNotes and
Speed increase - I'm not convinced of in daily use.
However, all the chefs on this forum have moved over to 6.1 so I'm wondering that either the majority of people do not have GPS issues like I do or, as is exceptionally likely, there are other reasons that I do not know for preferring 6.1.
Any chefs out there fancy commenting on why you prefer 6.1 over 6.0 to save me from my ignorance?
Cheers,
Jez.
Same here
I have experienced the same mate. I have tried God knows how many 6.1s and besides, they are looking great and neat (thanks to our brilliant chefs here), i didn't see any improvement on my tilt, just opposite. I have experienced annoying non responsive display, very slow response time, and there was a time when I had to press display several times before I was able to run anything on the phone... let alone the GPS.
Now, I have an original HTC WM 6.0 Pro/ ROM 1.56.405.5/ Radio 1.27.12.11 and I have to say that my Tilt has never been faster and more stabile. Moreover, GPS signal is much better and even works when I put kaiser near the window. It is cloudy and rainy here in Bosnia now, yet it took only 15sec before it received signal.
So, I have to say that this one works better for me.
Lately I too have had more issues that I wish to have. Just seems there is no perfect, or even close mix of ROM/Software that is good enough to be a daily use type. Not sure if the chefs are just over-doing or we just have a bad mix of software at this time. I do hope the chefs continue to work on a better ROM, I do know they try hard and should be commended for their efforts, but right now I may move back to an older version that just worked better. Maybe 6.0, but not quite sure yet.
This is nothing new..many have reverted back to 6.0. But for what its worth, I never have to wait longer than 45 seconds in the U.S. using the emo radio inside my car rain or shine.
After receiving a warranty replacement for my Kaiser, I'm now using the stock T-mobile UK rom, and it's far better than any WM6.1 cooked rom + radio that I've tried when it comes to GPS.
However, the battery life is probably not quite as good. The unit is just as fast as with any of the cooked roms I've tried.
I can't really think of any tangible benefits from using cooked roms, as this stock WM6 rom works well, and I can add any functionality I need by installing the right programs.
I use PointUI, so I would not benefit from the significant improvements to the WM gui that the cooks have produced.
However, I enjoy trying out new roms and seeing what the cooks come up with, so I may still do it anyway, just for the fun of it!
you are absolutely right and now i am going to downgrade to 6.0
GPS is nice to have on my phone but if I truly needed GPS I would have bought a truly more reliable (read: GPS Specific) device.
If I need directions I can still use Google Maps to plot the turns, on my own - like in the old days. *snicker*

@tabashir --> Threaded SMS use PocketCM. I would be interested in a free replacement to the WM6.1 threaded SMS but http://www.pocketcm.com/index.php does not contain any details of this. Can you throw some light on this. Thx
[Edit - OK found threaded SMS using pocket CM thanks - will check it out thanks]
Thanks for the replies all. Although no answers on why to prefer 6.1, at least I know I'm not completely insane in going back to WM6!
Have not gone the whole hog and gone to a stock ROM tho, have been having fun trying out some of the different cooked ones, albeit old as they are now. Am currently on Blackwood which with Radio 1.27.14.09 and SPL 3.29.
Like TasoM, have not had any freezes or non-responsiveness with WM6 so far which I guess is what the forum is all about, try them all and find what suits your circumstances. I do find the battery life 'seems' worse than when I was on 6.1 and the Emo radio.
Reply to convert > glad you found the threaded SMS. Lots of nice skins for it too. I don't use it personally as I find iContact faster and better for just contacts and I don't need threaded sms.
Reply to JimmyMcGee > The original question was aimed at the Chefs creating the WM6.1 Roms so I figured it better in the Development thread. However, I really don't mind if you move it to where you think it is more appropriate.
Now I gotta go play with PointUI, was not aware of that one before!
How's the video playback and game/ui performance on the stock 6.0?
a major one everyone is forgetting is the dev of the 3D drivers and soon(tm) 2D drivers that is a major reason a lot of people including me have moved on, another one is that when some major changes come in 6.1 i will not have major issues with upgrading my apps mms/sms etc... to the new ROM and not have to worry about radio's and hardspl as i would be already running it..
besides you guys forget, your running windows... i always reboot my phone and a good reason is because i change batteries so every 1-3days it will be rebooted, it mixes most of the small issues.
As far as GPS its always been the same, i havent ever bothered with GPS to be there for me, its just to aid me, i do use google maps which helps i never have used GPS to tell me were to drive i think that is insane, nor will i ever do it, i like to know exactly were to go and what my options are

Try the newer rom(s) with manilla 2D (hyperdragon III is currently the only one publicly available). Newer is better.

I too switched to WM 6.0 and I think that I am much happier than with Dutty's ROM. Do not get me wrong, there was a lot of nice things in it. But I have a feeling that I would rather prefer stock HTC ROM and add some useful software. I have not tried stock HTC ROM in 6.1. I am curious if GPS works teh same as in 6.0 ROM?
To be honest, 6.0 is much stable and less problematic so far compare to 6.1.
Most of the 6.1 problems (e.g. cleartype landscape) have some workaround solutions. But problem like the famous Activesync 86000107 still doesn't have any solution yet.
For me, the only advantage of 6.1 is much faster startup time, and overall system performance.

The 2D drivers could be a real benefit, but there's no advantage for me or most people having the 3D drivers installed at the moment.
I'll probably give Hyperdragon with TouchFlo 2D a go, but I would not be suprised if I end up sticking pointUI on it and have the exact same functionality and aesthetics as the stock rom. I hope I'm wrong!

Now we're talking little bout religion here, LoL.
There was times at beginning of WM6.1 issuance that with so many problems came with it i sometimes convert back to stock HTC WM6, or Schaps 4.30 (most good looking and well done cooked WM6 i tried). I remember it was only before July i keep converting back. Yett most of the time i did it only to get the feeling of what's right before and try to 'port' (find solution) the great feelings to the newer WM6.1.
Nowadays, WM6.1 already much familiarized by the chefs here and gained much tweaks. On a proper hand, it does make big difference in performance. My Kaiser is now running full fledged without any issues, it even have landscape cleartype enabled now for my liking (yet i don't do threaded sms). Faster, more stable, less power hungry, quicker gps fix, more instant screen rotation, than before.
Wow, what happened? It's because the wonder of this community, that's why. AFAIK, i have used several PDA and the conclusion is still the same: left to itself, Microsoft's (MS) product does sux big time. Without this community it will dragging its own feet to its graveyard. I think HTC at least a bit better than MS in adapting to market's demand (i truly belief many HTC engineers are member of this forum, much more than MS's). Cuz I saw some pattern in behaviour here.
Bottomline, WM6.1 is indeed much more problematic than WM6. Yet WM6 was also much more problematic than WM5, or 2003SE!
That's the way MS works, man, everytime they issue newer OS they try to include more functionalities, features, etc, while at the same time introducing more bugs than before. For example, who use windows vista here, care to share your experience with it? Cuz I don't. I even use winXP only after SP2 issued.
Never trust Micro$oft product! Just trust the power of users and communities who expanding it! Now my religion is not WM6.1, but rather, XDA-Devs. So in case next time XDA-Devs decided they have enough with WM,then i may join the convert to Android. Amen.
I know this has been posted close to a million times, but I really think that it deserves a poll and a new thread. Mods, if you disagree with me, please close or delete this thread. I will probably get flamed for even starting this, but I can live with it.
OK, here's the situation:
As very few of you know, I am working very hard on my next ROM release. I have come to a point to actually consider starting over and using Windows Mobile 6, which I have NEVER had any bugs with, unlike Windows Mobile 6.1.
So, let's say that:
1. I cooked in threaded SMS (possible)
2. I somewhat made startup time speedier (disabling the startup animation)
Here's the big question:
Would you use a Windows Mobile 6 ROM?
I look forward to your feedback
I'm one of those people who always wants the newest (which isn't good at times). I probably would not go back to WM6. I do agree that it was less buggier and all, but it's just a bit outdated in my book.
Great work on the new ROM
WM6.1 gives me a better battery life, which is my biggest +
If you cook in M2D, I will use it. I may not stay with it for a long time, but I will at least give it a try.
I just hate that long ass install process with 39 cabs and 700 soft resets.

Didn't realize that for my Tilt. I had a defective battery and it would run out pretty fast so i got a replacement from ATT and the battery has been perfect ever since. Would be nice to see a benchmark to compare battery life under the same circumstances on both OSs.
my vote for WM6.0
I would seriously consider going back. I do think I get better battery life with 6.1, but yeah, you are right....lots of random, odd issues with 6.1.
I would give it a whirl!
WM6.1 has quite few nice enhancements to WM6, so my answer to your poll (where is the poll?) is probably no, I wouldn't "go back" to WM6.
IMHO, and in my experience, most of the bugs in WM6.1 anyways come with other software (that was actually designed for WM6, like some HTC apps).
Battery life is better with WM6.1, no doubt (all users of the devices that got WM6.1 facelift said that). Thats a major fact to consider.
Having said that: if you would cook a WM 2003 SE for Kaiser, I would have jump on it as if it was some hot girl
hey mbarvian.... id b more than glad to use it if u based it off of the rogers wm6 rom that way i can take advantage of the name display feature that seems to only b available on that rom
I could definitely go for a good hybrid prefferably with good graphics handling
There may be bugs but there are many bug fixes that I can't go back to 6.0

WM6.0 isn't bug-free either
The least amount of bugs in any of WinMo OSes (IMHO) were in WM 2003 SE... but then it was much limited in some function compared to later WinMo OSes...
Actually I think each one is apples and oranges, all of them have their different and distinct bugs, features and pros & cons
If I could get the battery life from wm6.1 in wm6.0 I would love to use one of Alexs roms .
-McMex
WM 6.1
For me, the biggest reason to use WM6.1 is the improved bluetooth support. I use my phone with a carkit (Parrot) every day and the WM6 (and I have tried quite a lot), always gave me trouble with dropped calls, the carkit thinking that a call was going on when nothing was happening, low volume.
All of these things are solved with 6.1, so I would not go back.
Good luck with the new Rom,
DeputyNL
I've been using 6.1 and at first I liked it, but after some time with it, it's unreasonably buggy and LAGGY. Sliding the tilt open and many many times when I want to click something, I have to wait and wait while clicking for it to recognize that I'm trying to tap a choice or an X.. I would def like to see a lite, non plagued with crap hybrid, fast, and battery efficient.

QFT
bla bla bla "qft" was 2 short lol
Well, yes, I miss 6.0.
It's OK for me as long as it is almoast as speedy as the latest roms here.
BTW, can we use the Omnia driver with a 6.0 ROM ?
Seriously speaking I hardly found any difference with both of them. I like to change My device OS so that was probably the reason.Anway My vote with both of them.
battery life is same in 6.0 for me. gps is much much more faster in 6.0. so i vote for going back.
My feedback about WM 6.1
- No cleartype in landscape mode
- Those 15 MB extra RAM used, other PDAs with WM 6.1 and 128 MB of RAM have more free. I do not see a big speed improvement due to that. I do not like seeing only 20 MB free while running Opera and Tomeraider for example.
- All WM 6.1 radios for some reason have problems connecting to my router, must set the power to the max even when at a few cm.
- QuickGPS data is NOT being used by any (including official) WM 6.1 ROM. I got tired of trying buggy ROMs and went back to WM 6.0. When you start GPS in a program, GPS satellite locations on the sky appear inmediatly, and GPS lock is obtained in 5 -7 seconds. I never, never, got that with any WM 6.1 radio. Stop GPS, start again, fix instantaneous.
- Battery life is not worse than with many radios, check power consumption in Homescreen Plus plus. Also chequed while running Navizon for example (phone, GPS and WiFi on), not different than what I have seen in the last months.
- Once I installed all my usual programs, I cannot see any difference between WM 6.0 and 6.1. And I do not like threaded SMS very much, I cannot delete individual messages, just the entire log for that person.
