I am thinking of putting on WM6 onto my SPV M5000 and was wondering what were the advantages / disadvantages of WM6 over WM5 in everyday use. Is there a thread or comparison somewhere Ican check out
I've been running WM6 for many months now and this week reverted to WM5 - I've tried pretty much all the ROMs and WM5 simply is more stable, although not itself perfect.
The main advantage, to me, in WM6 is the Outlook client with HTML email support, although I can live without that. The terminal services / remote desktop client is better too. Other than those, the rest are just pretty fluff, but that's just *for my use*. Note: One man's fluff is another man's, erm, necessity :s

Not really mate!
If you've used wm6, you'd find -
1. Its just as stable as wm5 (the later roms!)
2. Lots of tiny improvements
- Better phone search and dialing
- Better keyboard support all over
- Quick search in outlook messages (cant live without this!)
- Better look and feel
- Html support
- Better IE
- Latest office version support
- Lots of minor addons, which make WM5 complete by covering the gaps!
If you ask me, its a no brainer to upgrade. I suggest give one of the latest builds a try and see for yourself. If you think there are problems, you could always revert back
Cheers,
San
I believe that the major drawback of WM6 is the lack of Video-Call functionality. It is being introduced now, but still is buggy.
Anyway, I don't use that, as the company that pays my phone bill does not allow me to.
On the other hand, WM6 does look much better and seems to be as stable and fast as WM5, if not better. So why keep a less good looking firmware?
Also, I believe that Internet Explorer makes use of the VGA screen in WM6, while WM5 did not.
Then there are all the small things that make the phone nicer.

memory management of wm5 is superior...
For me its the most important aspect of wm6 that must be corrected...
Other than that, wm6 are better!!

This is not WM6 limitation. It is just a minor incompatibility of old WM5 DLLs with WM6 dialer. HTC could fix this in 5 minutes if they would bother. We cannot do that as we don't have the sources.
The best WM6 changes are
- improved memory manager over WM5. In WM6 virtual address space is less wasted than in WM5. Slot 1 DLL sections can be aligned on 4 Kb boundary (64 Kb on older OSes) and resource-only DLLs are mover to slot 127
- Exchange 2007 support (html email, "company directory", search over your mailbox, etc)
- improved dialer (that is why we just cannot copy video call DLLs from WM5)
- VGA in IE
- Office 2007 document support
- some other tiny improvements for OEMs, like new resolutions (up to 480x800), ability to control led blinking in ringtone scripts (WM5 only could control vibra), secondary displays API (in WM5 only smartphones could have secondary display)
- VoIP API support in OS
These all changes should not cause major increase in OS number. WM6 is just a "WM5 second edition" or WM 5.5.
WM 6.1 improvements over WM6
- Chat-like SMS that cannot be turned off (I personally hate it, prefer old style).
- Improved memory management in DLLs. Some of the DLLs can be loaded to shared memory region - so they would not waste vitrual address space in slot 1,0 (Athena already does the same, so MS just stolen HTC idea)
- Minor IE improvements
- Improved exchange 2007 support (this is really good)
- Some minor BT stack improvements (for example it automatically uses "0000" as a pin when pairing with BT headset)
- Media player is updated. I don't know what is changes as I don't use that trash.
- Ugly task manager. Hopefully it would be more useful in release.
The amount of changes is similar to changes between WM5 and WM6. MS marketing guys may call that "WM7" in the future.
from my experience
Advantages of WM6:
all stated above by others
Disadvantages:
More battery drain
More Memory drain
Internet Sharing is not that great
Best would to have WM5 rom with WM6 icons(look and feel)......best of both worlds.
It's faster, looks better, works better and supports more enhancement patches! I already have mine looking like an iphone and working at the speed of light! WM5 is just slower and not as sharp!

false. Memory is drained by apps you use. OS memory footprint is nearly the same as for WM5.

true. But you can use WModem from WM5.

Yes, indeed, but that's what I'm calling "fluff". It's an improvement, but doesn't in all reality improve how I use the device in any way.

Can't say I noticed any difference. The keyboard, without exception, has always just worked exactly as expected for me in WM5 and WM6.

You're the second person to mention this since I reverted to WM5. Please tell me more - I feel like I probably missed out on one of the crucial improvements! I tend to use OWA when I need more than the vastly inferior (but largely adequate) Outlook client in WM5 offers.

Subjective, but I agree. However, not a sufficient improvement to justify the upgrade.

Totally agree about trying it out. For me, it's borderline too unreliable and the downsides of WM5 don't *much* matter. As I said earlier, everyone will have slightly different needs, so weigh them up and take the plunge.
Thanks San, some very good points.

Off topic :
Where do u get the iphone skin from? I install the ilaunch but found that its not compatible with the universal VGA screen, the screen is all mess up

Its just me , but personally, i think WM 6 eats more memory than WM 5, its more laggier at times, and the home-cooked rom arent as stable than the official ones, sometimes need soft reset the phone

Hi!
I think you're missing out the keyboard improvements & search feature-adds in wm6. This is extremely useful if you use your uni in standard flip-closed landscape mode and happen to use the keyboard often.
For example do this -
- Open messaging, and HOLD DOWN the "H" key until you get a help popup. This shows all the keyboard shortcuts for the messaging app. To activate a shortcut, just press and hold the corresponding key.
- To search for a message, all you need to do is, start typing a part of the subject/sender name and it instantaneously matches all messages matching the criteria. Its extremely useful i'm sure! For instance, if you're trying to find a message sent by someone, just start typing his name to see all messages sent by him! Or type a part of the subject! If searching in SMS'es, the name or part of the sms message itself can be searched!
- You can start typing a name out directly from your today screen, this launches the phone app and searches the name! Very quick and useful!
These 3 features alone are good enough which prevents me from rolling back to wm5! Besides, its also stable that i never need to restart my pda in days! I had a lot of trouble trying to get it stable, but the radio stack 1.15 did the trick for me! I suggest you experiment and find the version that works good with your device/operator/location!

It's actually alot of different mod's and patches! There is a Slider application with a VGA Patch and a Configuration App to have the iphone slider unlock. There is an iContact application that lets you scroll through your contacts using your finger (very nice feature to have and show off ). There is the PocketCM Keyboard with a black skin and a VGA patch (much cooler and more usable than the iphone keyboard). There's also the HTC Default black theme to give the whole PPC an iphone look and feel! If you're even more of an iphone GUI fan, you can take it a step ahead an install new icons and tweak some of the other UI elements to have fun!
You can find all of the above mentioned stuff at www.freewareppc.com.
Good luck with it

memory footprint nearly same on reboot, after a period the memory gets sucked somewhere even if you aren't using any apps. Now that somewhere is the question area.

1) Do a search on this forum for "Htc Default.tsk" to get the black theme for PPC. Put that in your "Windows" directory to see it in the "Today" settings panel
2) Download PocketCM keyboard (+Theme & VGA Patch) and install that
3) Download iContact and install that
4) Download Slider (+VGA Patch) and install that
5) Apply icons!
Lemme know if you find something else!

Funny, the iContact doesnt works on my uni, it just shows a black screen
For slider, i use S2U2 ( Slide 2 Unlock 2 ) the slider + VGA patch that u mentioned doesnt looks correct in landscape
The whole afternoon i was playing with the Touch Commander application ( emulates Touch FLO )
Where to find a working iphone launcher application for Universal?

I'm using Mo3ulla's OS 5.2.1933 Build 18533.0.7.0 ROM 2.11.09 G4M RADIO 1.18.00 ... pretty much the best i could find, iContact works fine on it!
Slider and S2U2 are separate apps and both mess up in landscape I don't use landscape so that didnt ever bother me, sorry
I haven't heard of the Touch Commander, i'll see into that ... seems interesting!
And i'm still looking for an iphone launcher cant find one yet!
and create a new thread if there's more to say regarding iphone skinning I don't want people getting bothered on this thread!
what vga iphone theme are you using ? where is it found? .... even if just a frontend....
Thanks everyone for being patient. I don't have the time to put out as many ROMs as others here, but hopefully the quality will make up for the difference in quantity. Thanks to all the testers that helped make this ROM (especially the AT&T Tilt version) even better: alvalvano, jakeypoo, BulldogXTRM, shogunmark, etijburg, swtaltima, ChaOConnor.
The Wiki link follows and has a wealth of information (probably more than anyone wants to know). I will attempt to update the FAQ Section with questions posed here in this thread as they are answered.

From the looks of everything....it was well worth the wait for us TILT users who want to use the 1.27.14.09 radio and stay as close to the AT&T set-up as possible.

Guess I'll be flashing today. Thanks Quentin!
best rom.. hands down F the touch crap
Thanks for the 1.2 ROM. Exactly what I wanted
Just flashed this ROM, and of course it's awesome!
Great to see the "Comm Manager pops up issue" is solved!
Until now I didn't notice any problems. Nice WIKI btw!
Quentin - superb job on the ROM. Looks good, runs brilliantly. It's tempted me away from Dutty's V3 for a day or so at least. Time will tell if it's a keeper, but first impressions are excellent.
Looks very interesting, maybe I'll give it a try, but the wiki is AWESOME!

Any chance we can get a lite version with nothing but OS and core apps?
Even office removed? I can install it via a CAB.
Well ... Quentin, you signs the best rom again !
just question in my head :
-Why doesn't you use the new version of HTC camera ? It gives best snaps and fluides videos ...
-I've seen that exists a 10 buttons comm manager...
-why puts MSoffice : I'm french and I prefere french dico
-Another question : Why conserving fileexplorer ? why doesn't you use totalcommander ???
10 Button Comm Manager
1st, Kudos to your excellent work!! Your ROMS are very nicely thought out and executed. Your 1.1 ROM lasted the longest of any ROM and Im sure Ill have similar results with 1.2, but....
I cannot install the 10 button comm manager, as it tells me I do not have the permissions to install said file. "Installation was unsuccessful. The program or setting cannot be installed because it does not have sufficient system permissions." Thanks in advance.

Just curious why you chose to use older camera app
I saw the list of apps looks pretty impressive...but just have a question why you decided to base the ROM w/o the newest camera version.
Looks nice though...might have to give it a whirl...
My phone / coverage area does not seem to like the 1.58.26.20 radio however...so I will be changing that right away.

Sorry man connection is not that fast...downloading now
Installed this ROM for a while...
and I must say I am very impressed. Has a lot of nice features and is very very fast. I didn't have any issues with it. Great job my man...very nice indeed
The only thing I would change is have the Network Configuration Wizard pop up on 1st boot. Not that it's a big issue for me but that a lot of users might have problems on first boot
The Best of the Kaiser ROM Collection
'stainlesspc'! Great to see you cooking and thanks for this pure & simple ROM!
I've added you to my top ten cooks!
Even 'alltheway' is impressed
Nice one! Thanks!
My Feedback will follow...
A few more screen shots are way appreciated.
Thnx
WOW am humbled Thanks Guys.
alltheway - I will look in to the camera. I pretty much tried to keeo it simple and not to many frills and fluf to slow things down.
As for the Net Config Wizzard, How does one go about getting it to pop on the first boot ? I used it straight from Alex's packages.
Why I have your attention can you explain why it shows the 1.60.00.00 on boot and how to correct it ?
Again THANKS FOR THE KIND AND SUPPORTIVE REVIEWS
It is a testament to the forum

Not sure.
It was in Alex's packages adn I own a copy so I use it.
You do have to have a code to make it functional though
I guess I could leave it out for the general population next time.

I don't think there is anything wrong with putting trail software into a ROM. In fact I think this actually benifits the companies as a whole. If you like and use the software as much and deem is necessary to have then you purchase it.
I'm not sure how you would make the Network Configuration come up on first boot. I notice that when I did install it did not bring me to the normal installation packages like installing a .tsk home screen and that nature. I did a reboot and then the network configuration came up without any issues.
I am also not sure what it's coming up as 1.60.00.00
What OS build are you using?

I don't know why yours would be showing this. I know that Sleuth255 changes his to a custom number like his name and then the number. I would perhaps ask him how this could be accomplished....sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Hey MichyPrima,
Just logged in after work and will download all the offerings tonight. I don't know if I will have time to give full feedback tonight but our cup at the 7510 forum has never been so full.
Thanks a bunch.
Report after install
I just install full 6.5 ROM.
There're some problem I found as following.
1. some setting items is not response(Power, Organize StartMenu, Backlight, Device Info, Gsensor, Keyboard layout, Languages switch, Microphone AGC, Keylock, TV out, Task Manager, VueFLO, SMS Mode)
2. sound and notification is not close after setting
3. Comm Manager doesn't go back after press back button
I will come back to report more.
as if it is WM 6.5 beta a problems is Normal Like all Roms
To me it is seems Like i Should Sell my X7510 After trying Almost all kind of Roms So i realised That it was a Bad Ever phone i Baught and Shame on HTC They not Provide Any Stable And fast Rom anf what a ATI VGA laggy you thought the 624Mhz CPU Maybe it Should be fast Enaugh at least as HD one my previews Phone, i am very disapointed and now i am stocked with Cooked Rom i cannot go back even to the official WM6.1 Rom Sorry Guys but this is the truth, Big Thanks To MichyPrima For his Great Effort.
Hi there. Thanks for providing these ROMs, it's great to have skilled folk who know what they're doing out there . Can you tell me what the 'full' ROM has that the 'light' one is missing?
Also (and I am searching the forum for this) can someone point me to an idiots guide to flashing the X7510, I've done my Universal a few times but I'm not sure about this Hard SPL thing...what is it?
Thanks all.
feedback for boht 6.5 ROMs
I try both light and full version.
Light ROM is faster. But both will hang after play for awhile.
There're many icon in setting not work.
Next I will try 6.1 ROM
MichyPrima thank for your first cook ROM for X7510
It's good start for 6.5 ROM
Thank you, Michy!
Been waiting for this. Installed on my 7510. Bugs are same as in poltep's post. So rom is not really usable but when it does work it is incredibly fast! Media player on the home screen is great w/ album art support and highly accelerated add to library feature. The whole OS seems so much faster than 6.1 and I prefer it if you could work out the bugs. Resco file explorer will not install nor will some other programs I tried. Please keep working on this as I'm sure all of us will donate generously when it is stable. And thanks again for your hard work! Is there a Wm6.5 media player upgrade or is it still the old 10.3 media player that is contained in your 6.5 rom?
Hi Michy,
Thank you for your fantastic efforts here. I am liking very much the 6.5 interface and am moving my other devices over to it. I have to echo the comments that have gone before, however. Many of the icons under settings do not respond so until that can be addressed the two 6.5 ROMs are somewhat problematic. The Chinese ROM that appeared on the forum appears not to have those problems ..... but of course its in Chinese. Alexeym is helping us with a WWE translation for that ROM so maybe that will help you go forward with your 6.5 development also?
Major install problems with 3rd party apps
Hi Michy,
Have been playing some more with the lite version of the 6.5 rom. Though unusable for issues raised in previous posts, I love the speed and usuability of media player, file explorer, etc. The biggest issue however is the inability to install programs. Total commander will install as will advanced config but Resco explorer, skype, tom tom, opera and other important progs will simply give an "install unsucessfull" error. I don't see this issue in posts about other 6.5 roms. Is there a registry fix that can enable these progs to install? I have disabled security warning and this didn't help. Thanks again for all your hard work.

Thank you!!! + feedback
Thank you Michy, The 6.5 inteface makes the advantage even better in my opinion... A lot has been captured already in the posts, but just wanted to help with my feedback... I have yet to see it (FUll version) hang on me and I was successfull installing a GPS application but unsuccessful installing iGuidance. Plese let me know if there is a work around. I'm downloading the light version as we speak and if there is any change with that version I'll let you know, otherwise assume I had the same issues.
Cheers!!!
Hi Michy
Hey Michelle first of all your 6.5 ROM runs great smooth and fast on my X7510, way much better then the stock HTC ROM.
As told above indeed under settings, the back light & power shortcut/function do not work. I also noticed that every time i enter the start menu the icons change. For example the settings icon changes each time into the icon of one of the icons of the other apz in the ROM.
Also in the home screen the compose function for sms mail etc does not work.
The advanced con fig tool does not work also but can be installed and then works. Installing Tom Tom 7 is impossible ? How to solve this.
I have reverted to your 6.1 rom. And must say I'm very impressed by it. Tho still waiting for your 6.5 to be as perfect as can be.
Greetz Ché yes named after the cuevara Che
Any new development
Hi Michy,
Your roms really set the standard and I'm waiting for the WM6.5 one to have the discussed bugs fixed so I can upgrade.
Not wanting to put you under any pressure as you already do so much for the community, but are you continuing to play with WM6.5 for the x7150? In your signature, I cant help but notice that you run WM6.1 on your own Athena and its been a while since this thread has been updated.
Have you abandoned the project? I'll move across to your 6.1 rom if thats the case
Thanks for all your work as always!
Thanks for the rom !!
is there a way to get 96 DPI settings? i have tried to install realvga96dpi without any luck.
am I doing something wrong?
Regards
Thank you
I was trying to throw my X7510...now i got windows 6.5 ..thanks for adding..
i will install it later.
Fantastic work, but can i ask you a request?
Can you convert a ROM from wwe to italian lang?
i try to make a my rom, but i failed, and when i use your "switch language", it work, but at the automatic soft reset, the phone is block on the primary screen (the bios screen...)
can you help me, or tell me the instructions for change the lang to italian?
thanks a lot.
(i'm an italian user, and i know basic english language, if you tell me in italian, with PM if you want, i prefer...)
As the title says...
Which one do you prefer? Why?
Cheers...
6.1 because is more stable, uses less resources, does not include the SUPER HORRIBLE honeycomb.
Maybe later when 6.5 is more mature....
Or better wait to WM7
Just my 2 cents
I like WM 6.5 because it's the latest & greatest so far from MS. I'll move up to WM 7 when available. I do not like flashing backwards (downgrading)!
I've tried couple of 6.5 ROMs on my BA and Kaiser. I'm not too impressed. One 6.5 ROM was quite quick. However, after using it for a week, I still prefer WM6.1 with the HTC Home today screen.
The windows 6.5 widgets look great. I feel that windows is trying to copy the finger scrolling found on the I-Phone. The fact is, the I-Phone is not nearly as fast to find contact with etc. I can find things a lot faster using HTC Home with WM6.1. I don't even like WM6.1 with Touch Flo or whatever it's called.
I'd like to hear other user comments.

Did you mean the new Programs interface?
I saw some videos, and I don't like it so much... Any chance to replace it with anything else?
Been using WM 6.5 (miri's WM6.5 rom) for my Touch HD for a couple of months now. The latest builds are really fast and stable and I will never go back to WM6.1.
What about program compatibily?
In WM 6.1 (latest versions) there are some problem running TCPMP or other (old) apps....
Is it the same on WM 6.5?
And... Is it possible to have something similar to "M2D Messages Tab" to see our SMSes directly on our Today?
I used versions 11 and 13 of 6.5 but didn't work on my opal, freqvent crashes and slow. Then I installed version 14 of 6.1, so far it is working well.

WM 6.5 is DEFINETELY better, there are lots of improvements and still some to come. I recently wrote a few emails with Loke Uei and I also participated in a discussion with the WinMo team on Facebook.
The new startmenu is maybe not everyones taste, but the new todayscreen is well done (espeically when doing some modding with the help of Xda-Devs ^^), MyPhone, Marketplace will be great and the overall fingerfriendlyness and speed has improved.
@orb3000: What you´re talking about ?!?!? The current version of 6.5 isn´t even an official one yet...so you can´t really compare. And on my TouchPro it is quite fast, responsive and bug-free. You better get a new device...

What¿
As said is just my opinion, I know it´s not official yet, but anyway honeycomb for me is horrible, so I won´t use it till final is out and a nice customization appears, I comprare it because is the question on this thread.
Get a new device? I´m on it believe me, but til now not convinced 100% about where to go... I think I´ll wait for 2010 HTC models with snapdragon and for that time hopefuly some better 6.5 will be out there, or even wm7
My Universal is much better than your Touch Pro!

I found a way to replace Start Menu with iLaunch or MortButton...
A lot better!
Anyway.. Does anyone here know if I can use a tab similar to M2D MEssages Tab?
Cheers...
6.5 is fine by now... xda-devs have stabled it in many ROMS and with the addition of many many mods it looks amazing and has great functionality. The thing is, that you need to differentiate WM6.5 from the Titanium interface.. Titanium is wonderful. WM6.5 is somewhere only a small small upgrade of by microsoft to 6.1. some menu changes.. some bar changes... things are mostly graphical and still do not match to the new behavior of rhodium manila and its additions (such as the start menu and pop up menus)

yes, for sure...
The only thing I don't like on WM 6.5 is the Start Menu...
But I found out a way to change it with iLaunch...
Do you know any other program similar to iLaunch (free and maybe better!)?
Wm6.1 is better
WM6.5 is not a significant update. i feel only the looks and graphics has been updated no new revolutionary feature.
WM6.1 with touchflo2d/3d is fine...

I don't think so. You have to go to e,g sbp pocket plus and the install sbp diary to see your sms on todays screen.
there are many many Titanium mods under development right now.. in the dev&hack section.. go check them out and see if it is either existant or possible to create such a thing.
