so overall is WM 6.1 faster than 6.0 ?

so overall is WM 6.1 faster than 6.0 ? iam thinking about taking the leap to 6.1 but only if he performance gain is worth it....any feedback will be appreciated....thanks.

Backup your data and give it a try!
What do you have to loose?
For me, WM 6.1 is super fast! The only thing I liked about the T-Mobile WING (HTC Kaiser, I believe) was its speed. Since going WM 6.1 my Wizard feels just as fast, if not faster.
In every area it is faster in my estimation
Not to mention, threaded SMS is just sweet

Without a doubt it is faster.

Speed differences in the different 6.1?
Anyone notice the big differences in speed with all the wm6.1 compare to "TNT 6.1 real port" that goes blazing fast?

just installed Slim 19199 WM 6.1 Rom and i ahve to say....WM6.1 truly is faster than 6.0

Differences in speed between 6.0 and 6.1 are LESS than among different 6.0 ROMS (or among different 6.1 ROMS). So, 6.1 is generally faster, but some 6.0 ROMS may be faster than other 6.1 ROMS.

threaded SMS is sweet but also slow.
plus more step to erase single sms (must use d-pad to highlight the sms and erase)
nevertheless, sweet but slow (i use it anyway, because like frazell said, it's sweet).

6.1- faster and longer lasting
I know, I know. It sounds like a chewing gum commercial, but it's true. I've found Windows Mobile 6.1 to be more responsive and to maintain battery charge better than 6.0. Here's an overview of some of the changes.
It just gives me an excuse to keep holding onto my trusty old wizard!

what is the best 6.1 ?

hi guys,
i'm a bit confused, what is currently the best 6.1 rom for the tornado?
thanks!

Good question !

Just check each version and pick the one with the features you need.

Yeah! good question and best answer is check all the roms available here one by one all yourself.
My experience is 6.1 pro by Kamikadze is the best with all taste of PPC but you need some tweaking/mapping hard keys to functions of your prefer.
OK don't trust anybody .. you are the best judge.

For me it WM6.1 Plane Jane Final as long as you install it properly

IMHO at this time WM6.1 Clean 5.2.19202 (Build 19202.1.0.0) Eval is best 6.1 rom.
Why?
-plain and clean, no custom graphics, themes etc.
-no custom apps - everybody have own favourite apps...
-FAST !!
Of course if You don't mind lack of xt9 (beside EN or RU) and a bit troubling controls the best is WM6.1 PRO RC5!!!made by Kamikadze
-PRO!!!
-Tornados fastest rom

Yep, the best ROM should be at least Clean and Fast....

Maybe this is not the place to post this question, but somehow related: which version is the most widely installed in the devices?

There really is no way of telling that 'cos you don't know what people have installed. And to be honest, as others have said in this thread, it's all down to personal taste. You have to try them all and see which one suits your needs / or appeals to you. My personal opinion is that WM6 is more stable on the Tornado than WM6.1, although I do like the additional features you get with 6.1... it doesn't cost you anything to try the ROM's, apart from a little time.
One giveaway to the most used, is the ROM's with the most posts

Yeah, you're right. And regardign the WM6.1 Standard Vs. the WM6.1 PRO... how is the balance? The PRO is a bit of a gamble in a Tornado, ins't it? I'd say most people will go the safe way and choose Standard?

I got my SDA about 10 days ago and wanted to upgrade from WM5 to WM6.
Installed:
1. WM6 English ROM Platinum Edition (Service Pack 1) OS 5.2.1711.18165.0.5.0
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=365023
It's NOT WM6.1 , too many programs I don't need. Seems to have to many buggy menus. Didn't like it.​​
2. [Release 11Jun08] WM6.1 (not so) Plain Jane - 5.2.19202 (Build 19202.1.0.0) FINAL
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=406716
This one is 6.1, quite nice, has cool progs. It felt slow and unresponsive and I didn't like home menu and didn't want to bother editing it​
3. [Mar 27, 2008] WM6.1 Clean 5.2.19202 (Build 19202.1.0.0) Eval
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=375670
The one I use now. Neat and fast. No bugs!​

Best 6.1 Rom for wm 5 phones

I have xv6700 and wanted to know what was the best 6.1 rooms for this phone that didnt have any issues.

depending on your bootloader give my 6.1 rom a try ive had no issues with it

where do i dl yours from?

which bootloader is your Apache?

which ever is the best one for my xv6700 but i do need to back up my wm 5 thats already on here... what software is best for backing everything up

bump.... still need a 6.1 rom that works good with verizon 6700

I think it's wm 6.1 21054.

is this the bootloader or version of the rom i should be looking for

i recommend mr4r4n's 6.5 roms found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=502418

i ask for 6.1 not 6.5.... its prob gonna make my phone real slow anyways

he cooks 6.1 roms too but his 6.5 roms are really nice not slow at all and the titanium interface is great for this phone where its low on memory and would have trouble running m2d or spb mobile shell 3

i agree, im using his 6.5 and its much better then 6.1 and forget M2D, now that's a real memorry killer, it was designed for the newer phones that have 3 times as much as the good old ppc 6700

Best Roms for HTC Raphael!!

Hello!!
I'm a new user of the HTC Raphael.
I Started with it original roms (Frensh SFR) very boring ...
Now I'm trying some cooked ones:
|RAPH|ROM|6.5.5|WWE| ★ EnergyROM 'Leo' (23518/21889) ★ |Jan 18| Sense 2.5 !
[ROM][WWE][PRO|FUZE][WM6.5.3|28002][21NOV09] TAEL ROM v3.28002 • STANDARD EDITION •
Go to first new post [ROM][WWE][15 Jan 10] Exquisite 4.03a WM 6.5 (23518) for Touch Pro [GSM]
etc etc
For my opinion: I think that EnergyROM 'Leo' is tbe best, graphically not but very fast and we have all the soft that the need.
It will be very nice if members here tried to share their impressions about the different roms they are using...
Thanks

the first rom i used was NATF it came flashed on my fone, i changed 2 energyrom i did like it but after a while it was getting laggy for me i also tried tpc joshkoss 1 of my favorites but in my opinion i like ChromeRommas the most its fast great graphics and has all the good apps.

Thanks for reply...i get bored with rom using touch flo3D they are very slow

Ah... french Sfr, a real **** (i know what about i'm speaking... "c'est à ce moment qu'on se dit que finalement on n'aurait pas du prendre l'offre opérateur ").
I think lots of WM 6.5 Roms are useful, lots of utilities inside... but slow, not smooth. I had to hard reset once a week (Messaging is very bad !).
The fastest ROM is a WM 6.1 ROM with Touch Flo, and no Manila. Since i've tried Manila, i've some problems (no really problems, but i hate lag on my phone).
The next ROM i'll try is WM 6.1 TF3D (RomeOS or GEN.Y for example).

I have used around 4 different ROMs since getting my HTC Fuze almost a year ago. I personally have just recently began using EnergyROM Phoenix 2 WM 6.5 build 21889 after hearing so much about it. I must say I am very impressed. I switched to it from TPC in an attempt to fix a bluetooth issue (which it turns out was not even related to the TPC ROM).
So far I really like EnergyROM. It makes the phone feel like a device that is a pleasure to use. However, I also found that when I was using TPC V3 I had the same experience. Before using these two ROMs it always felt like I was wrestling with the phone whenever I wanted to do something with it.
I personally am now partial to EnergyROM due to the aestetics. On both ROMs however the internet browsing is very fast and most pages render really well. I also seem to get much better overall network speeds on these two, but this could very well be related to a radio upgrade I did along with them. I seem to get very good battery life with both ROMs. GPS also seems to easily work great on both. I actually prefer the dialer used on Energy as it seems to integrate very well on the phone, but TPCs also works good. Application wise both of them come with tons of essentials. I found that TPC seemed to have more integrated, but most of them I do not utilize. One big plus I found on the applications is that Energy has a working "HTC Wifi Router". This did not previously work on my phone before.
Forgot to include one of my favorite parts of the current Energy ROM I am using. This ROM is using Sense 2.1. This is an absolute joy to use! It very closely resembles what TF3D is, but works 200% better! I experience very little lag and all of the integrated features I have tried work as they should. Not to mention that it just looks amazing. This is what TF3D should have been! I almost feel sorry for people who still use the stock ATT ROM and TF3D and have not been able to experience either a custom ROM and/or Sense, as it makes the device a whole new experience!
Wish I could give a better review of both ROMs, but I have only used both for a week so far!

Help me find a fast 6.1 rom

I've been using a few 6.5 roms, and it's just too slow. I don't know how to deal with the lag doing everything. I want to go back to 6.1
But most of them seem abandoned around 2008. That is before official 6.1 came out 2009/2.
Anyone rec'd a good fast stable ROM for me to use, no fancy stuff, I'll install spb mob shell anyway.
eta: I think it's worse for me cuz after I install Jp support, it gets another notch slower.

see here
it's about both 6.5 and 6.1, but should help. search my friend
