That is very nice and all but doesn't something like this actually ruin the effect that someone installing a TouchFlo rom would be trying to attain?
I mean looking at most of the TouchFlo roms here, they almost all have a similar look to the HTC Touch. Adding Vista style icons to the cube would just take from that look.(IMHO)

I agree. It's a great job, some ppl might like it, but personally, I prefer the original cube.

First REAL Look at Windows Mobile 7?!

check this video out...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFpwzg-AP_Q
have a look at 1:10-1:15. looks like a touch dual running a very smooth new windows interface.... is this 7???
regardless of what this really is, it looks promising for the future of windows mobile!

wow im really shocked that no one else of the 150+ views finds thus interesting enough to comment. first official video from microsoft and only 1 comment. hmmm.

That video is very old.

Surur

Looks good!
Let´s wait for more info on the release date
And meantime and more closer let´s see what WM6.5 has prepared!

Is this really Windows Mobile 7 on the Xperia?

And is this real too?

The second one even says it's a skin... lol
The first, is probably just a concept

I was more shocked seeing an apple in a microsoft ad

Yeah me too.
Maybe because the new macbooks allow to use Windows on it.
And did you see the zune which was next to the macbook? Seems like it will be possible to synchronize it.

i paused it right when they showed the touch dual. here are my observations
1- they got rid of the fat top taskbar and made it a skinny status bar so it doesnt take up much space and still shows current status (time in the center, cant clearly see what are in the left and right corners)
2- ***stating the obvious** the bottom bar that we all have seen already with the center start orb and softkeys
3- they are still having the 6.5 style chome interface but updated with animated and expandable widgets for more ease of use and user friendliness

Strange Device running Windows Mobile 6.5

Check this out - it's called the Exeda??? (Never heard of them - apparently they specialise in embedded systems.
Also 6.5 looks very very very nice... Stunning even... and very different...
Very different to the builds I've seen floating around - (cough... blueangel... cough...)
http://www.exedamobile.com/web/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=3&Itemid=7

sigh, I had really wanted them to put the task bar at the bottom or completely away with it and leave a 75% opaque small strip up there.
sure hope they improve email rendering.
but to heck with all the pictures I want to see it running. I want to have a good sense of what to expect.
but it looks ok so far.

I have seen these earlyer and the build they use with honeycomb interface and with the new CHome (Codename Titanium) is a lot newer than the leaked ones

"ugly device running on Windows Mobile 6.5" would've been a better title.
My question is how will 6.5 work with Touchflo 3D?

Finally, some better shots of WM 6.5. I hope they do more than just change the today screen though.

YUP = that one's got me confused too...
HTC'll probably have to disable it - therefore negating all their initial efforts to aesthetically update the wm gui...
hmmmm - guess time will tell on this one...
Am looking forward to the HTC's Rhodium and Tungsten running this WM 6.5 though - although I'd love those 2 phones to run Android too...

yeh, they can dump that device!
but, I'm itching to flash a 6.5 beta anyday now!

YUP - Me too!
Anything other than base 6.1 whatever build on my TPro sounds good to me!
6.1 feels like it's been out for eons!

True & very boring, WM6.1 has been out now for almost 18 months!
Goes to show how slow MS really is!

6.5 is just a minor ugrade to 6.1 hardly worth the extra 0.4 from what I've heard.
Tomal already has it working on a Universal http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=473096&page=3

Just seen the device i the original link - Ye Gods that's fugly!
One D-Pad for up and down and another for left-right? WTF?

WM Snap ROM

PLs i need to remake NeoRose rom to this sys ... pls its interesting and maybe fast

I am already porting this SYS/XIP. Until now, it doesn't seem much faster than 20282. Some things are faster though. I think HTC's weather panel is faster now and there are some updated apps in the ROM.

So it may work on a s710?
I will try it when you have do it
are you going to keep the weather panel+apps?
thanks

Yes, I am keeping them! But right now, it's far from being perfect...

Thanks for your hard work frauhottelmann
I am looking forward to this rom

i have question for frauhottelmann:
languages in this poll http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=492009&page=1 will be included on this ROM??

I don't know yet, because there is a lot of new software in the ROM and I don't have all of the updated MUIs yet (actually I don't have any of them...).

I am not making a Snap-based ROM, because it's not faster than the Rose ROM...
It's giving me more trouble than pleasure^^ so it's not really worth it!

OK dude
looking forward to your next thing

frauhottelmann: I was expecting that. Because, to be honest, either Vox or Rose are really old in hardware page... Anyway, thanks for trying.

The Rose does not have old hardware...it's about the same as the Snap!

...well the Display resolution (QVGA) is the same, the CPU spec is quite different:
Vox: Texas Instruments OMAP 850, 200 MHz
Snap: Qualcomm® MSM 7225™, 528 MHz
How these two benchmark in real life we will have to see...

I said the Rose doesn't have different hardware from the Snap...
The Vox is not the Rose...

Oops - yes indeed, sorry for confusing this I was mislead by torrentonly stating that "...either Vox or Rose are really old in hardware page" which is not true, but only Vox is "old" while Rose+Snap are similar and newer - but these will be "old" in a year's time as well...

Oh, sorry. I had to misread Rose specs somewhere. Also, I had it in my hands and it was really slow (slower than custom Vox ROMs), so I thought, it has about a same specs as Vox or Wings.
Anyway, I still think that Vox is by far the best looking HTC smartphone .

That is usually the problem with stock ROMs - they are slow^^

Which is the recommended (widely used) method to test, document and compare the "speed" of a ROM? I mean it is the same WinCE core for all of them and the same HW, so speed should not much differ if the internal settings for the WinCe core are identical.

I might release a Snap ROM (full and Lite) some time this week! The 21040 SYS and XIP are actually quite good, but it won't be with PIE 6, it sucks on the Vox.
I figured some stuff out and it's pretty fast right now! I will see how good I can get it and I will let you all know!

A few questions:
- Does it vibrate on boot (sigh..)?
- Will it be a multi-language ROM?
- How do you measure "speed"?

Hi,
To answer your questions:
1. No, you can't add custom programs to the sliding bar, as this slider is used to slide between the tabs of HTC Sense (only way to add custom programs is to make a custom manila tab (like e.g. facebook tab)).
2. I think you flashed a WM6.5 ROM instead of a WM6.5.x version...
This is why you have no windows button in the bottom softkey bar (as with this Windows Mobile version the start button is still on top )
I hope this helps.
Grtz,
Degake

Energys numbers are confusing right now.. you want 216XXX which is the amped up version that used to be 23XXXX based on 6.5.5 .. 219XXX which seems like the higher number , so you think its the the big dog.. is really the one that used to be 21XXXX which is based on 6.5 build.
So .. to answer your question FIRST.. switch to a 6.5.5 build. (216xxx)
Then your slider question... im about 99% sure you can.. which is funny because no one i know has, but if you can its not just point and click its some registry edit type stuff and changing alot of icons.

P.s. the dude who just told you you CANT have custom slider tabs.. is one of the dudes on her who actually could. lol . now THATS irony

so many thanks for your replies!
... bad flashed rom is there some way to keep every settings etc. and then load them to new energy rom from 6.5 to 6.5.X? or i think the better way will be to wait for wp7 upgrade... maybe the microsoft will change theyr decision...or wait for developers to do it?!
what do u think? i have finally set up everything and now "new rom?" when do u think the stable version of wp7 will come?

Hmm, you're asking for an ETA for a stable wp7 ROM for Leo??
We haven't got a 100% perfect/stable WM6.5.x ROM, so I think it will be a long time before we have that kind of ROM (and WP7 sucks )
Grtz,
Degake

sure it not will be 100% stable but enough will be "usable"
i would really like to play that damn great looking xbox live games...
they are perfect! they can compete iphone games!

Why don't you just buy a wp7 device instead? (if you want to play those games as quick as possible )
The new HTC 7 Trophy will be for sale from 21 oct.
(I might buy one for myself too )

HD7 (looking at the specs "on paper") has only some minor changes regarding the current HD2; - internal storage instead (Europe version has 8GB, Asian version will have 16GB ) of micro sd-cards
- only 3 keys instead of 5
But it will still be a pain in the *ss to port everything over to the HD2.... (but it will be done in due time )
I ain't gonna buy anyone a phone, except my girl, if she decides to get rid of her iPhone4
By the way; only difference between HTC 7 Trophy and HTC 7 Mozart will be external design. Difference between these 2 and the HD7 will be screen size (the first two will be 3.8", the HD7 will be 4.3").
The best thing people should do, is wait untill there are some new processors released (+ 1,2 GHz), as for now all new HTC WP7 devices will have the same snapdragon as the current HD2
