there was an article out on the web and i can't seem to find it. it was either on engadget, giz, wmexperts, fuzemobility or wmpoweruser and it discussed the differences between the wm 6.5 roms. i believe it said all the roms that were in the 24xxx range were leading up to the 6.5.1 release, but the builds in the 23xxx range were leading up to 6.5.5/6. I really need to read this article again but i can't find it anywhere....anyone out there seen it?
Like this one? It talks about the different COM branches, and what they mean.
yeah man...thats not exactly it, but i think this is a sister site. thanx a lot
Found abit on Redmond Pie: http://www.redmondpie.com/details-on-windows-mobile-6.5-build-23409.5.4.0-y765/
Says the 21xxx builds will be the official 6.5.0 release...may be updated to 6.5.1 with the 23xxx builds.

Are there any ROMs here containing the official WM 6.1? Everything I see is either based on the leaked betas, or they don't state it (at least to clear enough for me).
if there was you would not have to post a new thread to find out
it would have been posted already !
The answer is no. Although Microsoft has officially released 6.1 and announced certain devices that will eventually get the upgrade, the manufacturers have not released the upgrades yet.

I thought maybe I had missed something.
Can someone clarify the following please:
I just noticed some RSS feeds where MS has JUST announced the release of WM 6.1?? How is it we have this forum has had it for months now?
Also- this is my main question - in looking around the web at various video's of WM6.1 there is a new front end that looks pretty nice - how come I never see this on this forum?
Thanks!
same thing as how do people get music CDs before they come out...they get leaked out. and all these roms aren't official. there will probably never be an official copy for kaiser.
and that video is probably for smartphones. Our phones are PPC which contains professional version (touchscreen).

Q1: That's simple. The ROMs you see here are non-official/leaked.
Q2: There's are not so much changes in WM6.1 Professional, but WM6.1 Classic has a new interface/Today Screen.
That's what they show in a lot of videos.

No because Microsoft released wm 6 and 6.1 as a free upgrade. It is the job of your phone provider to port it to their hardware. But the people here cook up custom ROM. So they are just taking the place of the providers doing it.

Presumably though, the providers have signed an agreement to allow them to do this?
I'm just speculating and don't get me wrong, I'd hate to not be able to get hold of cooked roms but the legalities of it all is something thats been on my mind for a while now.
Kind of off topic, but you misspelled "confusion"
Ok, I am searching and I can't seem to get a straight answer from anyone or anywhere....
I am looking to see where these following builds are coming from....
1. Build 20270
2. Build 20273
3. Build 20226
Trust me I have searched but I am only getting Cooked Roms from different devices which are using these CE OS 5.2.***** Builds.
Any help would be nice
rapheall, xpreria, diamond, and of course the inside contacts
I wondered the same thing
I though these newer roms were Diamond, or Raphael build versions repacked with Kaiser drivers. At least thats the impression that I get from the RomeOS rom thread. Good to see I've got a rom builder so close to where I live. Shout out to West Palm Beach
So I highly recommend that this thread be update if possible with links to these ROMS. I remember awhile back 20226 was considered a "insider" ROM, but with all the ROMS out there I can't think this anymore...
Anyone have links to these ROMS and I will update and keep track of them!
best bet is the check the corisponding sections of Xda other than that most you will find are ports. lots of people will not share there builds since the roms contain files that can be traced back to the sourse :/ and that would mean being fired or worse sued over a voilation of your NDA contract.
Ok, so since there are now dozens of new kitchens floating around w/ every new OS release/port...is the Wiki really current? I'm thinking of trying out cooking a WM6.5 ROM using either Josh's or Medkid's Kitchens but I think they include a few things the Wiki doesn't cover. I could be wrong so don't flame me if I am.
Anyways, it'd be nice to add the 6.5 info to the Wiki. I'd gladly do it myself BUT I'm obviously not up to speed enough to feel competent enough to do it (redundant much? lol)
But yeah, would be appreciated =]
Thanks!
I'll second that. I've been testing out 6.5 roms now for about a week and they're all wonderful, especially Josh's. So an update on Wiki for 6.5 roms would be nice.
It's a wiki, edit it yourself

Hey, just one thing I'm a bit confused about.
I remember reading on the WM twitter page in May that WM6.5 had RTM'd. So how are we still getting new builds then?
Or am I mistaken in thinking in terms of desktop OS's, and perhaps MS just constantly work on builds of WM??
Cheers for any clarification.
Marc.
Just read @ the Inq that they'll have a "Windows Phone" preview posted tomorrow, so I'm guessing a general release will happen next week.
Hmmmm..... my acer m900 is supposed to be WM6.5 upgradeable and whislt there is a cooked rom for it, I wonder if this is why they haven't released a new firmware for it yet......
