Ok here comes an innocent question, more for curiosity than anything else.
We've had Manilla and the good ole standby of HTC Home, but I'm curious as to what's coming around the corner. I have to admit that I am finally getting tired of my super ROM, and I guess I could try another Manilla ROM. But here is my hope... Is there anything coming down the pipe that is going to be new and edgy? I'm hoping so, but if not, I'll just try another ROM.
I've got my fire-retardant PJ's on and am awaiting the on-slaught of comments saying that I don't appreciate our chefs. I really do, I just am ready to change the wallpaper.

I'll jump in the barrel with ya. I love every ROM I have ever flashed but I agree - whats next? Android? Where does WM go from here.....
You guys tried either TF3D or Throttlelauncher? Both of these interfaces are pretty cool and getting better all the time...aside from that, hopefully the next new thing will be Windows Mobile 7 (crosses fingers that it will run on the kaiser)...

Yeah.....WM7 another year away maybe.....Wish I could get an HD in the US - that would give me hours of play!
Hopefully Android or windows mobile 7.
Something that would make the kaiser actually a good phone =]
Actually from what I read and if I understand correctly, WM 6.5 is first by summer of this yr than WM 7 in 2010. Also WM 6.5 is supposed to have a revamped homescreen for touchscreen devices like how 6.1 revamped it for smartphones. At least that is from what I last read unless things have changed...
im hoping for a video driver but it seems unlikely. There isn't much talk on it anymore.....
I personally would love to see a full working version of TF3D with landscape and the power issue fixed.
Can someone tell me the difference between throttle launcher and tf3d? They kind of look the same to me...
Hi all,
FYI, The good old guys at mozilla have just released an early version of the upcoming browser 'Fennec'. The good news is that this release only works on Touch Pro devices, so I miss out as I have an X1.
Anyway, have a play.

Don't get too excited, this is a very early release and will have a lot of bugs that will most likely make this unusable for everyday use. I'm looking forward to the updates though but this seems more like a proof of concept.
yeah, i realize that. i can see the big picture! just ran it. it takes forever to load. it laggy, but is going to be a nice app when they finish up. the did a good job of incorperating TF into it.

Well, I tried loading it on my X1 and it actually installed and ran. However, same as you Robbie, took forever to start and was very slow. I thought it was just because it was on my X1 and not on a TP, but looks like its just the app.
I like the scroll to the left and right to bring up your bookmarks and tools, very nice.
Look forward to the beta release.

I've seen the videos on it, and it looks reasonable. It'll be interesting to see how they develop it.

Nice to see they released this. To bad it runs like a snail on my Fuze with NATF 4.3.
Cripples my cdma touch pro to the point of frustration.

Hey guys, trying out a 6.5 ROM...but I am a bit trepidacious (word of the day) about trying one...any tips on a nice stable, clean one. any ideas (and reasoning behind it).
Yhank you.
This looks like a good one
I found this link earlier you may want to give it a try.
I think I will flash it when I get home after work.

That's a CDMA ROM, so to the OP, DO NOT FLASH THIS.
I've been using the RRE WM6.5 ROM and am about to flash to v1 from RC3.
I'm about to use the new 21222 6.5 ROM. I can help you make one if you want!
I just tried RRE's ROM...and man it was l a g g y....
Plus it brought the horrible internet explorer version that just takes FOREVER to load a page and doesn't let you do anything while downloading something (I think NATF v4.4 had it, then he got rid of it)...the look was okay, but the lag was something I just can't deal with...
Reminds me of putting Touchflo2d on my Tilt...where it took a couple of seconds to register my screen taps, and forever to load an application...

I hated that ROM too, but he was using a different build then what is out now...
Try Shep's ROM, it works amazing, fast, and looks nice. Add the Fuzeberry 2 Rhodium Theme and wow. That's what I use now.

Agreed!!! Shep's ROMs are amazing!
I just upgraded from RRE 6.1 to 6.5 I Love 6.5 but its still a beta thing! But so far so Good!
Tried Shepp's 6.5 ROM. Nice and clean---went back to NATF 4.5...I guess it's a taste thing...I hate the honeycomb menus, and too much scrolly finger friendly stuff for my taste...the chrome looks too simple and I've grown too fond of TF3D and Wizbar...oh well...

Its not laggy at all for me...atleast not anymore than other WM6.5 ROMs I've tried. It takes a while to boot up, but once its loaded its fine for me. I don't use TF3D though, so I can't speak for that.
what are you talking about? RRE roms are really good. no lag for me. even useing IE runs fine thats what i am useing now it takes a good 10 secs to load. i love the RRE roms i just wish he didnt put point less stuff on them lol
Okay, first off, this is based off the new Swype Trial Release from the TMobile MyTouch 3G.
I removed everything but the English QWERTY boards, and optimized all the PNGs to be half the size but similar quality.
Good news? The APK went from 5584 KB to 1281 KB. <

Something without blue that kills it.
I would like one that resembles the stock hero keyboard from sense ui. While it is not the best keyboard i have ever used i still like the look of it.
That or maybe just something that flows with our sense UI a little better the skin now looks like it doesn't belong on our phones
wow lol you know your wireless connection is bad when it takes 45 seconds to a minute to download a 1.2mb apk. Stupid UMiami wireless has been weird lately
This version is more stable than the other one which kept FCing whenever I would hold down a key. Great job.
I had to remove the old Swipe via the Manage Applications settings, but it finally installed and works like a charm.
Thanks!

Lol, I was just about to post that you MUST un-install any previous versions of Swype first.
As for skinning, I made some for Fingerkeyboard back when I was into WM. You are more than welcome to use anything from those if you want.
I was going to try to skin Swype but I honestly don't have time (and my wife is ready to shoot me for the amount of time I spend on here as it is).
Thanks for optimizing this for us. Looking forward to your future work!

something like this?
or the easiest route would be for me to just remove the blue buttons like so
it's going to be a lot of work, so i guess i'll wait and see if this board has a demand for it before proceeding further.
penny for your thoughts xda?
Removing the blue already makes it look better.
The pic you posted above with colors close to what we have now was nice as well.
cant wait to see what you do.
I don't care about 2.1 anymore, I just want a fast phone now. I'm starting to regret my Hero purchase and probably won't go to the EVO(*gasp*) and will instead go for a black berry or palm something. Its plain stupid to have your own phone mess up what your typing or doing because it can't process it fast enough. I can't use my phone for web browsing(too laggy) and anything that requires typing(too laggy, mistypes abc as acb, etc)

You have to wait till the official 2.1 is released from HTC for all those features.
nope not yet
Not released, but it is possible to cook one yourself, but you would be stuck using 1.5 since the source for the kernel is required and that has only been released for the .27 kernel and the camera is only supported under 1.5 with that kernel.

If you're upset about lag, why would you ever choose a palm or blackberry over the 1GHZ Evo??
when the the nexus 1 launch for sprint, and isnt the evo better than the N1

I do agree that it is irritating to have slow features, But if you are running a custom 2.1 rom such as fresh or DC, I reccomend uninstalling the HTC Mms.apk, and just install the standard android 2.1 Mms.apk
Its alot smoother, in fact no lag at all.
Also the web browser on this phone absolutely sucks, it is worse than opera mobile on wm, it is unbearably slow.
Use opera mini, it loads up everything in 2-3 seconds, its very fast.
I agree totally with mjz147 about the Vanilla MMS.apk being MUCH faster then the HTC one..
Also using one of the replacement keyboards will work very well IMO. I'm currently using Swype, and loving it.
Dolphin Browser is also a great alternative to the stock one..
There are plenty of options and configurations available to make the phone much faster then stock even WITHOUT overclock.. My phone feels twice as fast as it did at stock running whatever custom rom I've run....
With all these options here.. I cant see why you'd go to a Palm or BB.. Its Android all day in this *****.

1. You need a 1.5 Rom. Those Roms come with the 2.6.27 kernel (which the source was released). Toast fixed the EXT4 and did the overclock. If you wish, I can build you a kernel with the Rom that you choose for these functions.
2. The HTC keyboard does suck in its lag. I personally like the stock Android keyboard. There's a few developers that incorporate those into their Roms and I know some have them as themes. I'll look for you.

If he stays with 2.1. But from the first message, it sounds like he's fed up with 2.1.
He can get all those features with 1.5...the kernel will have to be compiled (I have the EXT4 code, I need to add Toast's overclock patch, which is no big deal).
As for the keyboard, anything is better than the HTC one. I used to think that was the greatest keyboard until I played with stock Android. The stock Android is fast. I heard the Skype keyboard is good...haven't used it yet.
There's a gumbo 1.5c rom and an overclock here: http://forum.androidcentral.com/htc-hero-roms-hacks/10138-gumbo-1-5c-overclock.html
I'm using it, it's fast as hell and camera works great.
Not sure that you can use ext4 though, but I figure that's the least of my sacrifices.
Lets be serious, if your phone has lag at all you obviously havent done enough reading on this forum. With all the options available on this site alone you either dont know how to mod your phone correctly, or are NEVER going to be satisfied with it.
With that said, i could use a spare, i'll give $25 for it...
EDIT: Not trying to hurt anyones feelings or be big an bad over the keyboard, just stating the obvious.

From your response I gather that you must have never used a BlackBerry before. Any android with a physical keyboard > BlackBerry (for the things you are complaining about). That said I hate physical keyboards and Swype > All.
