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

Good job @bestever! This has been your first useful contribution to the forum. Keep up the good work!
thanks =D
about when will this come out for htc tornado
I wonder if Tornado would still be used as test device for new OS, the reason we have WM6 for our devices is because some internal WM6 tester for Tornado leaked the ROM for us, and Phil removed the ID, and others continued to improve it.
I wonder if WM6.1 is based on the same OS Kernel as WM6, then perhaps it's just the matter of porting certain files
I think WM6.1 is based on the same OS kernel as WM6.
CHOME will be standard, which is what the T-Mobile Shadow's Neo UI uses, and I think also what the cardwheel on Samsung SGH-i600 uses as well.
The CHOME stuff will take up a lot of storage so WM6.1 might fit in a Tornado, but just barely. I tried to port the Shadow ROM with CHOME completely intact, but ran out of space so I gave it up.
Does this Rom for PocketPC?
For cooking WM6.1 to Tornado we must have WM6.1 standart Rom.
looks amazing...
Finally a REAL update to the OS! instead of using loads of external apps!
Hi All,
Just contemplating upgrading from 6.1 to 6.5 and have a few questions, that I hope you fellas can help me with:_
1. I use sprite backup - So could I roll back to 6.1 and my phone as it was after upgrading to a 6.5 ROM?
2. Will TomTom Navigator 6 still work with WM 6.5 as it does with WM 6.1?
3. What is the most stable/best WM 6.5 ROM out their?
4. How will Pocket informant run on WM 6.5
Big thanks in advance of any assistance.

1) You would have to load up a 6.1 ROM then restore your backup. It is recommended that you NOT restore your back up on a 6.5 ROM.
2) I don't use TomTom, but it should work just as it did with WM6.1. I've read where people say it works fine.
3) This is everyone's own opinion. I'm running RRE. Da_G just released an updated base ROM, which is great if you like bare bones. Shep's is also good from what I hear.
4) Not sure about that, I've never used Pocket Informant.

Thanks for the time taken to input into my thread
I do like bare bones, so Da_G might be the way forward for me.
1.What is it like on battery life?
2. Do you get the normal black theme, as opposed to fancy stuff?
3. How have you found its stability?
Many thanks again.
Win
Personally Shep's rom is the best. I have found the battery life to be nothing short of exceptional!
Frequently arrive home after 11 hours of use with 85%+ left. Emails polling every 15 mins, internet usage and text messaging useage and frequent phone calls.

What Radio are you using with that m8?
I also like Da G's ROM, it's minimal and really good on battery life. Also, I'm not sure if it's the ROM or 6.5, but my GPS seems to be much more responsive. Previously I was using an AT&T test ROM with Rhodium Manila and it wasn't nearly as nice... the UI takes a li'l bit to get used to and it doesn't offer as much as TF3D, but it's incredibly stable.
as for Pocket informant it appears that WM6.5 has changed a few things. and most 3rd party cal. are having issues. I tried SBSH Calendar Touch and PI. PI crashed randomly and SBSH did not display recurring appointments. Hopefully those apps will fix it as soon as MS releases the documentation on WM6.5. Check out there forums and search a little if you want ot find out more.
As for ROM play and test them... I am using PROvens because I liked the way Rhodium was already installed and titanium was removed. but I am sure others have done the same.
Have a great day.
SoBBie
I'm using Radio 1.02.25.10
Really I can't speak highly enough of Shep's work!
My 1st thread so I'm ready for a "use the search" reply... [I have!]
The latest WinMob 6.1 Roms for my HD seem to be CE OS 5.2.21051...
has WinMob 6.1 development stopped there? I guess so as all new ROM's coming out are WM6.5 and it is due out (officially) in a couple of months.
Thanks for any informative replies.
according to some threads here the wm 6.1 will go on till 2109x
and further 211xx and newer versions will be wm 6.5
but as of now the latest OFFICIAL version is 21051
though there are HEX versions like 21068 etc but i would prefer 21051 (which i currently use)
The difference between between WinMo 6.1 an 6.5 is basically cosmetic. The big leap forward comes when WinMo VersionWhatEver???? runs on Windows CE 6.0. Until then, here is some music.......
Thanks
@ sheennick123456
Thanks for the info.
@ stephj
I think you're right there... M$ have just added a fresh lick of paint on an old Ford Escort with WM6.5!
Hai All,
I'm bata, from Indonesia. I bought 2nd hand Dopod 900 since last year, with installed windows mobile 5.0.
Since i know this forum last month, i took a chance to try Tomal recent ROM for my HTC Uni. I already try WM 6.5 D.09.00 TML WWE. and now, my device seems running slowly, and it happen so often, when i try to write a message or reply message from previous thread, suddenly the pointer active but i couldn't write any letter. but if i press start button, sliding menu still working well. This is very disturbing, so if i want to write a message i must do a soft reset.
Now i try to downgrade my Uni with windows mobile 6.1, i saw in this forum, there is alot version of WM 6.1, could any one of you tell which is faster for performance ? my often activity only related to reply sms, connect to internet through wifi connection, making and receiving a call.
1. Which is better for faster performance WM6.1 build 21028 or 21048?
2. When i'm using WM 5.0 there is Midlet Manager for running Java application (opera mini, ebuddy, bolt, etc) in Windows Mobile. Is there any such midlet manager in WM 6?
once again thanks for all senior member that shared anything about Uni.
[Tomal v8.9] WM6.1 - Build 21048.1.6.3
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=513907
fine the best ROM is like you try to find a girl friend. a sexy one for me maybe not sexy enought for you
you should try and play for knowing the best one for your dailly use.
for me, i totaly agree with al_3sjad, Tomal v8.9 is great!
if you want to play with 6.5, maybe you should try luca15thebig WM6.5 WWE v2.0.5 (regular/vanilla), right now i used "regular" and everything running as it should be.
salam MERDEKA!

I do agree with Indrastrid, Tomal 8.9 (8.91& 8.71)is one of the Best Roms, i moved to luca15thebig and i am using the light version for more than a month and it is fast. However i left Tomal rom just becuase it didnt support my multilanguage keyboard. i would recomend you try both and decide what is better for you.
There is no such as "best" ROM
I can recommend Tomal ROM´s as the more stable and the best for me, but the best way is to test several till you get to your best, that not necessary has to be my best...
Good luck and welcome to forums: OP
Thanks for your reply. I already installed v8.9 and this such a great ROM for me, heheheh
Btw, as my 2nd question, where i can find midlet manager for Winmo 6.0?
Thanks
Salam Merdeka for Indra
v1.4.9 Vanilla Final Edition (20764) by luca16thebig
still the best for me
About custom ROM of course. OK I know the first reaction to such question is that the question is stupid and "find out yourself" and such.
But I don't even have the device (I have HD2 and Touch Pro), I want to upgrade a colleague's Polaris because WM5 and our new Exchange 2010 don't fit very well.
So I don't have the time, our "prerequisites" are simple:
- WM6.1 and up.
- Manila (of any version) welcome.
- Stable and light.
Anybody can help?
If you are looking for WM6.1 then I recommend ROM in my signature. It comes without Manila. There is also a full flavor of this ROM with manila
thanks noted
unless someone comes with a nice 6.5 one (I already use 6.5.5 on my own devices)
use pcar's roms good stable and fast... also wm5? i swear this phone never came with that?!?!
what do you mean?
I am not looking at WM5 ROMs.
good rom => Pcarvallo's roms
WM5? I will explain. The touch cruise shipped with 6.0 upped to 6.1 then cooked to 6.5/6.5.x.
That was my point nothing really about it. Most likely a typo by you...
3LIT3 VIII Naked is probably the best choise. Everything what I tried worked without problem and soft-resets I did only extraordinarily.
Kostas' A- version is a stable WM6.5 rom, everything works very well.
Just try it out, you can find it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=554071
thanks guys
3LIT3 VIII for 6.1, without doubt.
megan rom for 6.5. full stop.
