Hi all, I don't know a lot of english sorry.
I have a Sprint Mogul, WM6.1
I install SPB MOBILE SHELL 3.0 and the battery drain to much. My battery discharge on 10 hours.
what could be?
sorry for my english
i'm not completely certain but it seems that SPB MS 3 uses hardware acceleration and few other features which, if not supported by your GPU, will kill your battery (just like TF3D on QVGA devices).

hi friends, is it possible? diamond and uni are vga devices, so why arent chefs giving us roms with diamond interface?
thx
sorry for my english
Diamond has 3d drivers (Accelerators), Universal I believe does not...theres tons of changes in both Diamond and Universal. VGA screen itself cant solve everything...tons of changes internally as well .
Lets see what is possible...
We're very unlikely to see a 'full' Diamond implementation for a number of reasons:
1) As rdosti stated, the Diamond has 3D acceleration - this may just be software drivers, or there may be some hardware involved. Even if it's just a good software driver, unless the Uni has the same underlying hardware, we're unlikely to see a port of the drivers. So - manilla (TouchFlo 3D) is very unlikely.
2) The Diamond is an altogether *bigger* machine than the Uni. The specs are just so much higher:
ROM - 256MB vs 128MB
RAM - 192MB vs 64MB
Storage - 4GB vs leftover ROM.
So - there's very little chance we could even see all the Diamond *apps* in a Uni ROM - they won't fit!
That said, if you look in the 'Development and Hacking' forum, the thread shown below is devoted to porting Diamond Apps, and while most work seems to be on converting VGA to QVGA, there's a full OEM and SYS dump in there. It's probably from a BETA release of the ROM, though, since I don't think the Diamond has been on sale (much) yet.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=395400
So - what could we realistically see on the Uni?
The Diamond version of Adobe PDF (already available as OEM package/CAB)
The Diamond YouTube player (maybe - haven't seen much on this).
The Diamond extensions to Outlook (maybe).
HTC Album VGA (Already available as OEM/CAB).
HTC Audio Manager VGA (maybe).
The Diamond Dialler (maybe).
The latest ArcSoft MMS (probably).
Opera 9.5 (Build 1126 is already out there as a CAB for VGA).
Most of the ROM cookers here seem to concentrate on light/fast ROMs, and don't particularly seem to like the HTC applications, so whether or not any of this sees the light of day in a Uni ROM is open to question.
If someone manages to port the underlying drivers and gets TouchFlo 3D working at a decent pace, that would be wonderful, but I for one won't be holding my breath!

you need this trash ?
1. this interface slow like hell
2. with crappy functionality
3. with giant memory consuption
maybe we can use the diamond videocall app for wm6.1?

Yes, may be. Tomal (Ranju) is working on it, more info will be released soon

The Uni and Diamond have different CPUs and Different GPU.
Diamond uses Qualcomm we use XScale.
Not much chance of porting anything without a great deal of pain.
Uni uses also Qualcomm chipset (MSM6250) for 3G video calling, yeah I know that is hard work to be ported, but only told's what Tomal is working on

yes, that's the main point.
dialer is working great on uni and functions for video call is visible (at least). but need to be tested under 3g network.
Ok friends! we all know the differences btw uni and diamond, but what I was thinking is get the diamond build OS, some apps compatible, htc home vga, and not diamond drivers... I understood u.. and I think the chefs will give us great roms based on diamonds... without the trash that can make our unis slower and with less free ram...!
thanks bros!
Diamond Interface
sorry.. error
Hi folks,
Recently owned a new Jade (Touch3g).
Installed Manila 2D (or 3D, anyway, have no idea what the difference is) does not make me happy.
I want to install Spb Mobile Shell. I find it more fancy and functional..
What do you think, if MS may drain battery faster???
Any experience..?/
Hi All,
Just contemplating upgrading from 6.1 to 6.5 and have a few questions, that I hope you fellas can help me with:_
1. I use sprite backup - So could I roll back to 6.1 and my phone as it was after upgrading to a 6.5 ROM?
2. Will TomTom Navigator 6 still work with WM 6.5 as it does with WM 6.1?
3. What is the most stable/best WM 6.5 ROM out their?
4. How will Pocket informant run on WM 6.5
Big thanks in advance of any assistance.

1) You would have to load up a 6.1 ROM then restore your backup. It is recommended that you NOT restore your back up on a 6.5 ROM.
2) I don't use TomTom, but it should work just as it did with WM6.1. I've read where people say it works fine.
3) This is everyone's own opinion. I'm running RRE. Da_G just released an updated base ROM, which is great if you like bare bones. Shep's is also good from what I hear.
4) Not sure about that, I've never used Pocket Informant.

Thanks for the time taken to input into my thread
I do like bare bones, so Da_G might be the way forward for me.
1.What is it like on battery life?
2. Do you get the normal black theme, as opposed to fancy stuff?
3. How have you found its stability?
Many thanks again.

Personally Shep's rom is the best. I have found the battery life to be nothing short of exceptional!
Frequently arrive home after 11 hours of use with 85%+ left. Emails polling every 15 mins, internet usage and text messaging useage and frequent phone calls.

What Radio are you using with that m8?
I also like Da G's ROM, it's minimal and really good on battery life. Also, I'm not sure if it's the ROM or 6.5, but my GPS seems to be much more responsive. Previously I was using an AT&T test ROM with Rhodium Manila and it wasn't nearly as nice... the UI takes a li'l bit to get used to and it doesn't offer as much as TF3D, but it's incredibly stable.
as for Pocket informant it appears that WM6.5 has changed a few things. and most 3rd party cal. are having issues. I tried SBSH Calendar Touch and PI. PI crashed randomly and SBSH did not display recurring appointments. Hopefully those apps will fix it as soon as MS releases the documentation on WM6.5. Check out there forums and search a little if you want ot find out more.
As for ROM play and test them... I am using PROvens because I liked the way Rhodium was already installed and titanium was removed. but I am sure others have done the same.
Have a great day.

I'm using Radio 1.02.25.10
Really I can't speak highly enough of Shep's work!
Hay all, first time so... be gentle.
So I've just got my grubby mits on the huge and amazing Toshiba TG01, this is the 4.1 inch, snapdragon running competitor to the iphone... I've got it on Orange in the UK (so it's all UK GSM, 3G and HSDPA radios here if it matters for support reasons)
Now the TG01's "stripe" interface looks... well fugly, no two ways about it.
Orange provide their own UI which is inspired by the PS3's I suspect, and it's usable, but does nothing once your deep in winmo 6.1 territory (contact lists etc)
I've tried to get TouchFlo 3D and 2D running on the device (including via throttle launcher) but to no joy....
Does anyone know how This Bugger managed it?
Have any of the truly genius coders here managed it on devices more powerful than HTC's (touchflo2D seem to be other way round) - or can anyone suggest alternative UI's till the winmo 6.5 upgrade roles round?
Cheers!

SPB Mobile Shell
Hey mate,
I have a TG01 and I am using SPB Mobile shell, its a shell on top on top of the OS, its about $30 but its head a shoulders above the crappy GUI's that come installed.

"That Bugger" used itje's Blackstone cab to get it on the phone. It says so in the video's comments.

The TG01 will get an official WM6.5 upgrade.
I think the WM6.5 interface is pretty good, even without TouchFlo. So my advice is to just wait for the official WM6.5 upgrade, disable all of Toshiba's interface extensions and enable WM6.5 default home plugin (Titanium).
You can also try alternative interfaces like SPB Mobile Shell, Throttle Launcher, PoinUI etc. and alternative programs like Kinoma Play, Resco Photo Viewer etc.
Hi all, thanks for the advice, in the end I found PointUI and in turn PointSense which near perfectly reproduces the touchflo interface.
but I agree the winmo6.5 will really improve the phone, I belive toshiba planned to release it with 6.5 but MS's stalling meant that didn't happen.
Cheers again.
I'm new to this forum and to flashing the ROM on my Wizard. This is a fantastic forum with a wealth of contributions, though it is rather daunting for the newcomer.
I have experimented with a couple of WM6.5 builds (RC4 and newer Beta), a 6.1 build, and the original 5.0. I find WM6.5 to be rather unusable. WiFi doesn't work well, TouchNFlo is intermittent, and everything is dog slow. 6.1 seems a nice upgrade to 5.0.
Are others having a similar experience with 6.5? Is it too much for this 3 year old device? I'm not sure what the advantages are, other than personal taste for user interface.
Another question (and excuse me for perhaps not doing a better search)--if I find a build I like, but want more than the "clean" version, can I easily add the missing pieces, such as Manila 2D?
Thanks everyone!
Hi! Glad you joined! With regards to your question....WM6.5 officially released on October the 18th so until then all of the WM6.5 builds were based on betas and RCs which usually have bugs and what not which usually end up being slow anyways...there are several 6.5 builds based of of the final/ release version which run fairly quick . WM6.1 has been out for a while now and is the best go between for WM5 and 6.5 as of right now and its highly recommended by me! Im not telling you to (because you should research and pick one on your own!) but i used X2Hs NSN WM6.1 with Manila 2D and it was blazing fast so you should look into that!Cheers!
Maybe try to overclock your wizard? I got H3r's WM 6.5 rom on my wizard. Overclocked to 260 Mhz, about 29-30 MB of free ram after reboot. It works better than some 6.1 roms i tested.
I installed X2H's new "iphone killer" WinMo 6.5 ROM and its BLAZING FAST even without overclocking.... i highly suggest you look into that!!!!!

in fact there are some cabs to add m2d (4 ex) htc home, etx.
and yes im using the iphone killer (wm6.5 based) and is really fast, no need to overclock (i think is no worth to overclock since the wizard work flawless with iphone killer and some others i have tried be4)
but 6.5 have a flexible interface so you wont miss the m2d (i prefer the htc home) but 6.5 is very nice..... and of course if you go to spb shell page there you can download very nice demos and get the best.good looking-funcional interface.
good luck!
p.s. send pm if you want more tips
