WM 6 on Himalaya Updates!

Is there any news about WM 6 on XDA II? I have been searching for it and stumble upon one link which says Developers are still working on it and also another link which says "The new WM 6 would acctually be known as WM 5 SP2" is this correct??
I have seen a comparison charts of WM5 - WM6 and found alot of features are available in WM6. I wish we had WM6 on Himalaya!
please post any updates about WM 6 on Himalaya here.
Kind Regards
Jay

NO, there are no news for WM6 on Himalaya

"The new WM 6 would acctually be known as WM 5 SP2"
and i believe they meant was that wm6 was based on windows CE5 sp2
and not windows CE6 which is still in the works as far as i know
so the windows mobile dont follow the same version nr's as the pure embedded windows core which of cause there is no reason it should

I'm looking forward to seeing it too

Windows mobile 6.5 announce

Yep seems like MS will be launching another update before 7.0 is released
for more info follow this link

Thanks for sharing
But nothing about a possible release date yet, I don´t think we will see 6.5 before may or june 09 (hope i´m wrong)

Maybe they will rename WM 6.1 AKU 1.5(6).x to WM 6.5 like they did with WM6 AKU1 (which became WM6.1) i talk for the professional version not the standart one
So far in aku 1.4/5 they have added the new Internet Explorer Mobile, Flash Lite 3.1 (up to 3.5) finger scrolling builtin the OS, and more minor changes.
In near future we must expect zune services integration and silverlight mobile - with these added we will have Windows Mobile 6.5

Sounds like good news to me!
The odds of me getting a WM7 upgrade for my Polaris is as close to zero as it gets. But an upgrade to WM6.5 is very much possible indeed. That means more fun and a better phone.
Keep your fingers crossed!

thank you very much

I'm running WM6 from Cotulla and I like it, but I have to recharge the Magician every night while with WM2003 I recharge it every 3 days..
Do you have the same issue? Is there a fix for the "inefficient stanby"?

wm6.1 cotulla's wwe3.03
radio 1.12
@assente
sadly windows mobile 6 uses alot more resources, it wasnt expected by the developers of the the phones for it to be used with anything but wm2003. i think its a cross we simply have to bear for us to have up to date phones.

Cotulla's WM6 CHS_O1 (Looking forwadr to CHS_O2)
Tanks to Cotulla

very happy just stil looking for a good Today UI program
I have tried SPB shell and pointui but am wondering what are you guys using, I don't want to use pocket plus it just isn't skinned enough.
does anyone use HTC touchflo (if yes where did you get the cab from?)

2005 to June 2008 - Windows Mobile 2003 SE
Aug 2008 to June 2009 - Taxist's 2.03 tx WWE rom
June 2009 until now - WM 6.1 WWE_02 by Cotulla
Honestly speaking, I don't see major difference between WWE 3.02 and 3.03, maybe somebody can enlighten me here. Though with WWE 3.03 some said certain SDIO will malfunction, so I dare not to try.
By the way, I have scheduled a well installed Sprite backup to backup my data every night 03:00 am which Cotulla told me never restore when upgrading his rom, so why should I try WWE 3.03?

If you have $, SPB Mobile Shell 3.0 is a definite better choice from my point of view.
PointUI came in free, and has been excellent since 1.0 when I use Taxist's 2.03tx rom (2.0 is even better if you choose well programmed applets)
My 3 cents, Philip

CHS_O2,ha ha...

I'm sad looking this sub forum, can't feel the speed of Cotulla's ROM anymore..
Honestly, my old magician with WWE-O3 (run @416+ MHz) works faster than my Universal (run @624MHz) for resized HD movie playback..
Now, I'm using my Gene and it's stuck @265MHz..
God, I missed that speed, that HD video playing capability, & that transparent top & bottom bar...

Cotulla's R1 WM 6.5 is the best
It's fast, beautiful and 80% fingure friendly.

Where do you get WM6.5?

Hi, I was surprised today as I found this forum (never heard about WM6.5, especially for (old) HTC Wizard). I'm curious about how do you get WM6.5? I don't think M$ give WM6.5 ROM for free.
I think all WM6.5-Roms here are Beta-versions, right? If so... is there any restrictions? Or can I use WM6.5 on my device like if it's a "fullversion" (SMS, eMail, ActiveSync, Internet...)?
I don't want to start a debate about legal-rights, just as I said I'm curious about it.

Non of the wm 6.5 rom are official and there never will be an official. M$ official release of wm 6.5 will be in october. According to M$ the WM 6.5 is only a skin change of 6.1 and will be an lite version of windows mobile 7 for low end devices and WM 7 for high end. If you want WM 6.5 you can find one in the Windows 6 section under wizard but non official

Thank you.

WM6.1 vs. 6.5 on Wizard

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
