WM6.1 nothing great.....a big disappointment :(

Just gave wm6.1 a spin.....and what can i say
PROS:
- threaded sms
- easier exchange server configuring (auto configures)
- quicker, and seems stable as of now
- solves the password screen locking the start menu bar bug
CONS:
- nothing new or different on the today screen
- nothing visually different
- same old applications, same old interface, same old same old
- its just the same old wm6 people, so, if you by chance felt like your life was coming to an end and you were waiting for wm6.1 to make it on your unis and once again get your juices flowing.....forget it.
- a2dp support seems like its missing!
- "Use High resolution" in internet explorer no longer there
- its highly frustrating to see MS drop in the "Task manager" application from their smartphone OS and market it as an "improvement".....grrr
- a sad "Getting Started" today plugin.....please, someone give me a break!
Anyway, life goes on, the same old sorry way......photon? android? hmph....

tbh what did you expect?
This of the change as akin to winxp vanilla and sp1 not winxp and vista.

no kidding.. even with less things.
i can confirm a2dp isnt working eother and internet explorer high resolution isnt even there ..
the wm5 latest tmobile rom has these!!
i give them one thing though, it is snappy and seems stable so far.
seems they increased the card cache size since when you start a song in media player it starts skipping and stuttering.. well that can always be fixed later.

Hmmmm, are we talking here about the real WM6.1 or the PDAViet build ported to Universal?
The cons/limitations are probably porting problems, at the moment the few who can confirm these are midget_1990 & mamaich. Besides, WM6.1 is not probably meant to be a version upgrade but a release update (i.e. SP2 in XP). I don't know too!

Where can I fing WM6.1?

6.1 is just an update not upgrade.
What I can say is this is a build ported from a QVGA device to a VGA device.
Now pls wait for our gurus to release a complete built.
I can run a2dp perfectly, it is just a matter of porting only.
We see here now lot's of build coming..just b patient for the same

Well, as MS screwed up on Photon release which was to be somewhere during 2008....and because google gave them a freak-surprise with Android....MS suddenly commited for a WM6.1 release.
I thought WM6.1 will be atleast a few features intended to go into Photon to keep Windows Mobile alive against upcoming competition (Android based phones scheduled to hit somewhere in Q3).
But turns out that Wm6.1 is just the same stuff....like you said, an sp1 release!
The least i expected was a changed today screen with a new interface which i kept reading about on so many forums....turns out people mistook this from the smartphone version they saw....
Anyways, cheers guys, trying to be happy with what we've got!!
Cant wait for the **actual** roms to start coming out from all our rom gurus out here....
Cheers!
San

The rom circulating over the forum these hours is a fake.

fake or not?

Hi Win_XP, my take on the fake issue HERE!

Hopefully Midget will fix the situation with disconnecting SD cards.... I'm not the one who had this problem when usual SD card 2gb is disconnected on no reasons and you have to slide out/in to get it worked...

This ROM is the fastest and the only one that doesn't have problems in its functions, never freeze and the most reliable one. I'm using it with old 1.09 RADIO ROM and battery is the same like having WM5.
You can try to argue everything, but this is really example of complete ROM.
Thanks PDAVIET.

I guess searching would be out of the question. Do know how many times this has been asked? Come on now. With 124 post I would think you would know that or at least do a search first.

...you are generally right but the search doesn`t brings up a real result !
A performance comparison (benchmark) for WM 6 has given a lot of evidence but on 6.1 I didn`t find it ...
What works best for you ?

Since you donate to the forum, I guess people will be nicer to you. There is really no clear answer to this since the cleaner roms have better speeds, but less functionality. The ones bulky with a lot of apps tend to be slower, but they become like swiss army knives. There are lots of extra tweaks you can do such as change page pool or change cache sizes to improve performance. With less errors? All the roms have few incompatabilities with certain softwares such as TCPMP, IM+, and many others. There are trade offs from using certain roms and its all in your preference in what you want (buggy rom with speed or lots of apps, but slow). Dutty's has been clear favorite, but many cooks out there make roms just as good.

thomassster - I`m very happy with Quentin`s but it is "only" a WM 6.0 - would you say it is worth the effort to change to a WM 6.1 ?

peter
hello peter the only big differences that i found are the thredded sms and some minor changes regarding wifi managing found in settings - connections (faster turning on and off...) regarding speed, i find wm 6.0 slight faster. so, my opinion is you could give wm 6.1 a go.

So although WM 6 ist faster you prefer 6.1 ???

yes, i find it more functional. try dutty's wm6.1s they simply rock! you won't be dissapointed

If you read some of the WM6.1 threads, the only addition is newer radios, threaded SMS, and very minor options added. I won't be able to say if it's worth upgrading since threaded SMS is a big improvement, but I can't seem to find a way to backup my SMS the way I want. Instead of chat style, PIM backup restores the sent, and then mine.
There's not too many improvements, but it wouldn't be bad experimenting. I can't determine whether flashing will be best for you, but sometimes you gotta do things to find out whats all the fuss about. Most of the cooks are cooking up the newest roms, which happens to be WM6.1 so you might as well get use to what is in a WM6.1 rom.

OK understand...which progs do not run with Dutty`s ?

yup, but the threaded sms can be disabled via registry anyway, i have the same problem when backuping my sms.

like all wm 6.1's i have sometimes problems when trying to run igo or miomap. but with the homeplugin partially disabled ( all tabs except the clock) and a proper radio it works fine! i haven't tried yet skype to see if it works. but other programs work great. i have installed on my kaiser resco explorer, ab button plus, coreplayer.. etc and all work fine..

That specific question really belongs in the Rom thread.
This thread has no further usefulness so it is closed.

Is there any windows mobile 6.5 for herald yet ...???

Too soon, maybe in a couple month, I guess!

Microsoft already asked the main cook to remove the WM6.5 image. The ROM is still floating around minus all the cool 6.5 gui which makes it just a useless buggy build. So: patience, my young grasshopper, patience.

Okay thanks. I was getting a bit worried and starting to think that the Wing gets no love. Everyone's busy building stuff for the Kaiser HD Diamond etc but nothing for the Wing..

Here is a video of the new wm6.5
http://www.youtube.com/watch?gl=US&...ideo-feature-tour-hits-youtube/&v=RAq5lFQFyMI
It's a beta yet, but it shows a lot of of improvements hoping for a better performance.
I hope we will see it really soon on our herald!

I don't know... but after watching that video wm6.5 don't seem to impress at all, except the start menu that is laid-out differently.
Well we can say something about PIE but there are many better options out there. Also the scrolling is easily achieved by TouchFlo (which is default in all the roms posted here), and the large menu buttons can be achieved simply by using a larger font (through advance configurator).
Where is the novelty? Same old apps, and the screen that shows the list of documents when opening the pocket word program still reveals the fundamental finger-unfriendly side of wm6.x.
Wm7 then it's be more attractive IMHO. Just my 2 cents.

I agree but if it performs better like WM6.1 did for me I will happily upgrade. But the main thing I am looking forward to is the Today Plugin. I sure hope someone puts it out there in cab form. But right now most of the roms here are fast and put together so well our expectations will be high for any official release from M$.

hey ivanmmj !!! i am a great fan of your roms... i just wana ask dat is there any way through which i can expand my ram and rom through hard-spl.... my herald doesnot support flashing through storage card....

wow windows 6.5 is improving honey comb is cool now

Check out Uto's ROM for Kaiser. He got lot similar work done on Kaiser. Lets see how it comes in the end.

soon we will be looking for windows 7 screen shots

Meh, I think those honeycomb items are incredibly ugly! Can't really see an improvement, at least not over TF3D. The only thing I want is that all menu's / settings are thumb-friendly.

Thanks for sharing

i like the honeycomb i think you just have to get used to it
wm 2003 and 2003se and wn5 and wm6 and 6.1 where all based around the same so will windows 7 have the honeycomb

H3r2 Alpha 1 WWE [21042.1.6.1]

Hi.
H3r2 Alpha 1.
WM6.1 [build 21042.1.6.1]
Please test & report ANY bug!
This is very very alpha release, useless, only for TEST.
http://www.4shared.com/dir/19508987/1551c8a4/H3r2_WWE.html
Pass: Ham3r
I don't recommend for beginners, iPhone and Nokia users.

Thank you ! This Rom very fast ! Good Look !

Review: Another excellent Ham3r ROM
This is a very nice ROM. Windows Mobile 6.1. It has no home screen programs, and very few apps. It has the Microsoft Office apps, Quickmenu, and an unusual collection of tools. Lots of free space, lots of RAM, good speed.
Questions I did not answer are:
What kind of files will AlReader read?
What is "Glossy Black Bars"?
Does WM5NewMenu offer any features not found in QuickMenu?
I noticed TCPMP but did not try it. Are all of the CODECs present?
The only problem I have is that Outlook won't sync to my work's Exchange server. However, they have been messing with the security settings there this week, so that might not be a ROM issue.
I have tried this ROM with Manila 2D (V1 and V2), SPB Mobile Shell 3, and HTC Home. All perform well, although Manila2D V2 needed some more apps, as usual.
One program had Polish (not English) help files.. I wish I could remember which.
The ROM does not have any touch-friendly scrolling. Of course it does not have the WM6.5 touch features, and it also lacks the TouchFlo touch features which work well on the "Final Angel" ROM.
I will not continue to use this ROM: I like the "Neat" flavor of Final Angel best of all ROMs I have tried. Nevertheless, I would encourage the cook to put out more Wizard ROMs. This one and the recent Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM are both very good, even though labeled as ALPHA. I can't wait to see what he would call a release version.

Thanks for reply.
Sorry for my english..

ROM constains M$ scrolling feature, but this is disabled by me. For turn ON this, run total commander, tap 2x on adress bar and select "gestures". Change "disabled" value to 0 & after few seconds make soft reset.

Thanks.. i working with BASE ROM for wizard.. but my wizard have a dead battery (on wifi, turns off after 2 minutes). and i dont have time for rommaking...ehh.

Thank you, turning on gestures worked.
I cannot find the program that had the Polish. Maybe it was an error message.
Thank you again, I would recommend this ROM for those who want a fast WM6.1 ROM.

pdb are ebooks

I have not been able to get this ROM to synchronize with an Exchange Server. The Ham3r WM6.5 ROM works, but this one does not.
For me, Exchange is very important.
If it is not important to you, this is still a very good ROM.

Good job Hamer
"Poland Power"

A nice ROM, I like very much the ROMs with huge free RAM. I remember for Nothin's ROMs, I used them for a long time.
I tried this ROM, it is fast, stable. My only problem was, that the Large_Start_Menu.cab does not run it, or at least for me did not run.
Could you check that?
Thanks you for your hard work.
