Differences between WM6 OS Versions

I am confused by the many different OS version for WM6 ROMs (20273 22222 19701). I did a search and the closest post I could find didn't really explain the reasons for different OS versions.
Is the latest the best and most stable?
Is there an OS changelist I can view somewhere?
Are the OS versions set by the ROM maker and shared by them?
Are the OS versions set by Microsoft or the device manufacturer that the OS came from?

the only real difference is windows mobile 6 and 6.1
then you have difference in radios provided by different carriers at different locations.
there isn't really a change list since there are only two official types.
if you download a rom from this site it will not be an official rom unless it says it is.
roms aren't updated like windows with service packs, you have to completely "delete" your operating sytem and info and load a new one...... which is why you won't get an update unless it is basically a new operating system.

Usually not. Nor are the numbers a guarantee of newness. Sometimes earlier numbers signify newer builds.

Not that I have seen. But as Joel said, the only real big difference is 6.0 and 6.1 . Other than that, builds usually feature bug fixes and/or speed tweaks. You are best off to watch the forum for a specific device. Most ROM cooks will post which build they are using, and most new ROMs will use the most recently released OSs. That way you can know the most recently released builds for that are working for that device.
Are the OS versions set by the ROM maker and shared by them?

No. ROM cookers (I assume you mean cookers) use various builds which they get from various places. Usually they get these ROMs dumped from recently released models, sometimes they get them because they have connections in the right places; like Microsoft, HTC, etc.
Are the OS versions set by Microsoft or the device manufacturer that the OS came from?

Good question. I don't know exactly, but I would assume that an OS comes from a combination of work in both companies.

Thanks for the quick replies.
Does anyone know of any threads that talk about OS version differences?
How does a ROM cooker go about choosing an OS version?

like we said, no there isn't an os version difference.
The differences are 6 and 6.1 or from different phones.
ROM cookers choose ROMs on features they like or what they have available.
A good way to start would be to just find a good ultra lite rom and build from there

Please tell me how!
I'm by far not a (for sport) Microsoft hater, but winmo is pushing even me to my limits, if there was a stable way to put android on this awesome device I would seriously consider it!

Considering that android doesn't even boot on the last gen TD2 with the same internals being used by almost every android phone, it may be a while for this

Subsidy Lock: ***UNKNOWN***
Version: 1.1.4
Requires RSD Lite 4.5.7.

cool, let's hope some dev's can cook something nice out of this!
Also wondering if this one will work on EU-based phones, since the blur roms keeps crashing on my G1 (locale errors).

Did you receive this OTA or did you just find the link somewhere? This theoretically should be the same version that is on the Cliq already. We already have a dump from a retail Cliq device and it is incorporated into the S-Blur ROM.

I did learn a better way to do dumps now (that keeps symlinks etc)..but yeah my blur dump was the same as this update.

If you give us a logcat of the issue in the proper thread, we can probably fix it for you. Make sure you follow the proper error reporting format.
We have already had this dump (thanks thedude! You've been a great help) and the s-blur 1.07 incorporates these updates.

i thought we had the pre-release dump, not the official. i must have missed that in my search. ive been waiting for one to build on.... thanks

All the other blur rom's were based on prerelease dumps, but the 1.07.1 in my thread is not.

this isn't an update.zip to be flashed to your phone btw.
It's a SHX file...old school motorola firmware. The modmymoto guys are working on it...and I'm trying out some stuff to see what I can actually do to modify the file.

i just jumped on a friends computer to download this (since i can never access rapidshare through tmo) and saw your post.... Thread bookmarked, please follow up when theres some progress on this. im dying for some official blurness to work with since the only dump ive got is a pre-release with drizzy stains.

My girl just bought a CLIQ and i gota say its pretty cool and the facebook app is 10 times better than the one in Eclair. Its not like a normal face book app there is an app named accounts and you put your email for your facebook account in it and you can have wigets for status updates messages ect. I still cant understand why there is not a single facebook app out right now that can send and recieve messages. Hopfully somone can get the facebook/accounts app from the cliq and deodex it to run on the G1

If you want a system dump from a retail Cliq shoot me a PM and I'll get you a link. It's untouched.

The source code that was released is not the complete source code. They aren't going to give out their proprietary components. The only source code they released were parts that contained GPL code. Check out the code tree and you'll see what I mean

Does anyone know how to flash this onto a CLIQ? I've been trying to get RSD Lite to see my CLIQ on every mode(BLUR,Recovery,Fastboot ) and I think I know some people that could modify this image...

i posted this in another forum the other day. If you power on the phone with the squares button (menu) held down it will bring up a blue screen at the bottom that says "Bootloader USB Int". When i plug it into the USB on my PC it comes up with a new device "Motorola Flash Interface" I don't know if this is significant to anybody?

Android 6.0 Marshmallow is coming, CM13 is coming too

Have you thought that as soon this new android version is coming new AOSP ROMs like CyanogenMod and Omni are also coming? Write here all what you think this new ROM should have that the previous ones didn't have!
P.D.: Is there going to be Xposed installer available for this new version ?? We will see that soon

Android M
Android 6.0 Marshmallow or Android M is the same thing,right ? Thank you !

I think yes... Firts Android M, and 3 days later, Cyano 13

Well, although all this, Android will always be better than the disgusting iOS

The first question that comes to my mind is that the extra features that will be available in Android M.... Then the ROMs can be discussed as they are always the icing on the cake.

That's a real truth... Android by far has always proven it's superiority over other OS through it's cool features & continuous development.

Onereason Android makes it a better choice than Ios was this fact that you are onmuch more open work to walk on(easily root and stuff) but Android m accordin to news here is trying all it can to blockbring changes..i seems we are again going through OS which is going to limited our capabilities in customizin its environment...if this happened,I believe other OS like firefox or in near future, MIUI(independent of android in future),will have more chance of getting attention ...hope google won't cose the paths to root and stuff as root is really what brings out "the most feature of Linux system in android" and having an androind device as being more pleasant

I don't think Google would do that. Because it would ruin Android's Open Source. But if that happen, there would be another OS to develop for SmartPhones: Ubuntu Touch

True iOS its so simple ?

Well brothers, we hope Marshmallow brings prosperity to Android. Or more

Will Galaxy Grand Neo (GT-I9060) have 6.0 Marshmallow rom, im stuck over 2years with JB 4.2 its horrible

One thing that is awesome about Android 6.0 is the fact that we will be able to limit what apps can access.I'm hoping that in turn adds to better security to your device since we live now in a world that security gets harder as technology gets farther along.

wonder what new features will be in CM 13..

CM13 nightly released for Asus Padfone S/X.I am not sure about this just saw a guide on theandroidsoul.com.If it is true then CM13 will be available for other devices. soon

This thread is interesting, and could be one to follow re the progress of CM13. http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/cm13-0-unofficial-watching-code-merged-t3228335
Apparently we know that Doze will be included in CM13, which is good news IMO....I'm very excited about the battery life increases it should bring.

Cool

Now that Cyanogenmod is in bed with Microsoft and will install Microsoft apps as default system apps that can't be removed...I no longer care about any new CM news or builds.

[SOURCE][9.0][OFFICIAL][A750F/FN] Kernel & Platform A750FNPUU1BSC4 released

Hi everybody,
Official Android Pie Kernel and Platform sources has been released for A750FN!
version : A750FNPUU1BSC4 - SM-A750
(Can't post extLinks yet, so make a search for SM-A750 on opensource.samsung.com to find the archive)
I'm not experienced in porting, but AFAIK this should be a really good entry point to start porting to our device recovery & ROMs and having official releases...!
So I'll start digging into this as soon I can find some spare time! =)

Code:
Mobile Phone SM-A750FN A750FNPUU1BSC4 SM-A750FN_EUR_PP_Opensource.zip

Could that help us to get a Lineage version for our Galaxy? That Samsung stuff really is horrible, Titanium backup is a good help to get rid of it, but it shouldn't be there in the first place....
