How Do I Get Wm 6.1?

Is WM 6.1 an official release or a cooked ROM? Either way, how do I get it?

6.1 are released, but our cooks have tweaked and added their own flavors. There are many on the forum
To get it, you download a rom for the Kaiser and you flash it.
But before doing that, I suggest you alot of reading. Not hours, but many here have read for days.

Just check at list first 2 Sticky on first page before asking .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=378
I dont't want to be bed guy but it could happend that one not verry skilled member to answer to your question with a link to a WM 6.1 and if you just flash it you could brick your phone without HardSPL.

No, it is not. But XDA is not my entire life. I was actually very up to date with the upgrading over winter, when I could go on reading without other obligations. I admit I am not current with what is going on, but I understand flashing ROMs and Radios and have done so many times. However, being back in school, I have to prioritize. Being a respected (I have seen your good contributions elsewhere on the forum) senior member like yourself, I wonder why you continue to bash on newbies or people who ask questions that are trivial to you. The XDA community, in my opinion, is so popular because of its helpful members and the opportunity for anyone to learn.
So what if there are repeat questions. Didn't you ever learn that if you dont have anything good to say, dont say anything at all? It would be better for you to not reply and just move on vs bashing every newbie you can. And anyways, dont you have more productive things to do (aka a life outside of XDA)?

I agree with alltheway. Read, and search for answers. I typed your original question in Google and got 499,000 hits! I put two different variances of it in the forum search and got pages of threads. Don't make excuses about having a "life" and not using the fundamental tools at your disposal, cause we all have lives outside of the forum too. If you think every post should be positive then move to Utopia and ask n00bish questions there. The forum is here to help, but it's cluttered with ridiculous threads because everyone expects to be spoon fed information that's easily at their own disposal.

LOL. This makes me laugh.
Actually I do have a quite productive life outside of XDA. I don't know if you noticed the things at the top of the page that say stickies. Yeah those are meant there to be read first. The problem with this forum now is that nobody will take the time to do a little research. They want everything spoon feed to them. I understand you don't have much time being a student, believe me I was there once, but doing a search for about 10 minutes wouldn't hurt you. You could have easily found the result you were looking for by simply going to Google Advanced search and I guarantee this would have taken less than 10 minutes.
You say that you are familiar with flashing and radio's. Well you would have known this answer right from the start if you were even a little bit familiar with this process. How do I get WM6.1...Hmmm maybe look at the sticky that says WM6.1 ROM Links !!! Updated Daily!!!.
Austinsnyc has donated a lot of his time to publish this and keep it up to date so the forum in not inundated with ridiculous questions such as these.
Obviously a little more education wouldn't hurt you. READ and COMPREHEND!
...and since you are reading this I recommend that you check the 1st link in my signature...It's there just for the likes of you.

Sounds like someone is mad, when the guys are just trying to tell you to read, their just trying to save you some money for your Kaiser. I must say I often pay XDA a visit at least for 5 minutes every hour. Somehow, other members and myself can balance our life. I run my own company, the social life, and XDA very easily.
If you think you need to prioritize in while in school, I suggest a sidekick. I heard T-Mobile has a very nice sidekick that can direct link to myspace now.

Dude, read the stickies, they're there for a reason or do a simple search...If people started a new thread everytime they had a simple question, we would miss out on a lot of good info and good people on the forum.

Posting For Idiots. & Reading For Idiots.
Both very good books I hear.

I agree, it is here to help people, you are right. However, that being said, lately this forum has become inundated with an extremely large amount of people, no0b's and seniors alike, who dont feel the need to do a search or even read through the existing threads and stikies before they post. Most, as of late, even start a new thread. When is enough enough? I do answer as many questions as my time allows me for people needing answers that I don't remember seeing before or questions that have a tough answer to follow. But my God, the whole front page is covered with 6.1 roms, cooked and raw.

[Q] The best current rom?

Hey guys,
Returned to xda after a long long time, had even forgotten my previous username/password so made a new id!
Quick question, which is the best current rom for desire s? By best I mean the one which is stable, the most lag-free and hang-free, and if possible, has a good battery life.
I've been on sabsa prime for a long long time now and it had a very crappy battery life and it hangs like a massive saturday morning hangover.
How is the [ROM][16 July][4.0.4][Sense 4.1 Full][OTA|HUB|Tweaks|v1.1.0 ModPack] SVHD v1.7.3 rom? I've done a quick browse through the dev forum and it seems to be the better one.
Any quick help would be much appreciate. I'll flash after the first 5 or so recommendations asap

These type of 'best' rom posts are not permitted on xda as you will get 10 different answers from 10 different people and can cause arguments. Please do not make these threads on xda.

I understand but how else am I supposed to figure out which rom I should use. I mean I can't go around installing every single rom and keeping it for a number of days to test them. that would take too much time.
one of the purposes of the fourm is to help people, right?
Can I request the mods to lock this thread, after exactly 10 replies? That would serve both purposes. Thanks

Actually, the sole purpose of XDA is Development. It is not a helpdesk for noobs - if you disagree with that view then that shows you haven't done much searching and reading yet.
Pick 3 or 4 of the ROMs which look best to you, install each one, test it and then move on to the next - that is exactly what we all do with our devices. The only person who can judge a ROM is you - some ROMs might work well for one person so they recommend, but you hate it or it kills one of your applications. Benchmarks are useless and serve no real-world purpose.
Just download, flash, try and see what suits you.

I understand what you're saying. I'd like to add that I'm in fact not a noob and have tried about 7-8 different roms on my desire s in a period of 3 or 4 months, towards the end of last year. I have a job now and no time for these things so I was just looking for a quick fix. Just some decent reviews from people who use the roms on these forums.
Please STOP posting here, you're ruining this thread and you're doing exactly what the first reply warned about.
If anyone wants to say a sentence or two about a specific rom, please post, otherwise don't.
IF the mods have a problem, then lock it. I strongly request you to leave it open for 10-12 replies and then lock it but it's up to you.
Good day.

bad battery issue?

hi, I've been experiencing a depleting battery issue. I used to be able to plug my phone to charge and it would be able to reach 100% within an hour or so (and that's with me texting or browsing internet) but now it seems like I've got to leave it on the charger for half the day for it to reach 30%. It also depletes super fast and will drop around 15% per minute. i noticed the battery issue started happening after I upgraded from 2.3 gingerbread to 4.1 jellybean. I'm a newb at this so forgive me. any advice?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app

Get a new battery

First and foremost upgrading to jelly bean doesn't go for such consequences of battery degradation. And more over to have a better life, the first charge of new batteries is always recommended for 4-5 hours even if it gets 100% in 30 mins. And from then on it should be charged till it attains 100%. In your case, I think so that the battery has some problem.Replacing the battery may work out in resolving your problem.

I checked to see if it was a bad battery by switching out the old one with my husbands skyrocket battery, but there was no change. However, I managed to flash a new ROM with the little battery charge I had left and noticed a significant change in how much battery life was being held. i'm guessing that the old ROM had a role in eating up my battery life? Is that possible?

Just some wakelocks

"Just some wakelocks" isn't very helpful, unfortunately.
OP, there is some kind of issue involving active wakelocks. You need to use Better Battery Stats to isolate and reveal them. Without finding out what they are, a new battery may have the exact same result as the old one and you will get nowhere. While it is well known that the Skyrocket eats batteries on stock ROMs, they aren't nearly as bad as you are describing.

so I think that the last couple of comments should now be moved to a different thread because they were mostly about doing the research/work just like the older members have done. call me a newb, but seems like the older members can't recall their own rules. POST YOUR COMMENTS IN THE APPROPRIATE THREAD.
and to those who did have the kindness and courtesy in helping to assist me, I thank you. I have done a bit of research, but because of lack of free time (due to being a mother of 2 and having a daily routine), it just seemed a bit easier to ask my question than to spend hours on end looking for what may or not be a solution.
with that said, I don't mean any disrespect to any members, new or old...thanks for the lesson!

This isn't a help desk ask any moderator. Rule number 1 is search the info exists you are obligated to search you aren't the only one working, raising kids, and whatever else most of us are but we make time to learn and research to better ourselves. If you can't be bothered to find the info there are other sites but this isn't it.

See, that kind of attitude just isn't helpful. While the first rule may be search, there are better ways to go about addressing it than just basically calling a new person lazy and denigrating everyone. I know and understand where you and other older members are coming from, but it doesn't have to be done in a confrontational manner.
As far as my original quote of you, your claim that I have done this a couple of times and you seeing me do it is bunk, as I have only once said anything about not helping people out, aside from the responses given directly to you. My posts where not used poorly, as I feel that they were directly relating to the OP and were at least pointing in a direction that could be helpful. Most of the forums I have been on directly ban the instruction of people saying "Go search", as it isn't helpful. Perhaps the person searching didn't know how to phrase it well enough to find a relevant answer.
