Which Open Touch version do you like the most

Folks this poll is to help me figure out what people like and want from my roms.
Please help me out so I can cook better roms going forward.
Thanks again for your on going support,

I voted for the v4.0 biggy, simply because it seemed the most stable, fast, and had nice battery life. Other have been more visually appealing but for actual stability and function 4.0 hasn't been beat. That being said I did enjoy 5.0UL, liked 6.1, and currently using the 6.5 biggy and am enjoying it. Looking forward to the next ROM you made.

I know before i said I liked version 4.0 but Version 6.5 Lite no TL or SPB was a come back

+1, here's another vote. There are a couple things I'd like to see added to each of those, but the whole reason I chose them anyway was so I'd have room to install what I want.

opentouch3.0
opentouch6.0>TL-lite
opentouch6.5>TL
love these ...the best i ever used on my wing ...... 3.0 was my first rom

Open Touch 4 Biggy and Lite seemed like the most stable versions of open touch i have ever used.

from testing your previous roms, 5.0UL was the most stable, best memory management, ease of use, packed with features on the today screen... and with the new build the 6.5UL should take over!!! ( for the roms you are cooking )

running 4.0. was using 5.3 but the sms issue was too much of a hassle, no fix was fixing the problem. jumped back to 5.0 but the version i had was missing parts of the interface i enjoyed. so i went back to 4.0 and it's been running like a dream. love it.

I LOVED the UL version of 5.0 concept, but i didn't like the small icons for sms,phone, etc. If there was some way to combine the UL version with the Throttle look, I think it would be great. Just an idea for you to run with ttran! Keep up the good work +4 Kudos!

I have used OT 3.0 lite and currently on OT 4.0 lite. I prefer lite version over others because it gives me the most flexibility yet with the foundation built.
Once I get less busy, OT 6.5 lite will be my next trial. Or maybe OT 8.0? Who knows... with the speed that Ttran pumps out new roms OT 8.0 may be very well expected in the next few weeks...
Thanks for the great work!

I've tried v6.5, v5.3 biggie,
but the one that worked perfect
out of the box was the 3.0 biggie.
that is the only one ive been abe to use.

Current poll status
Well so far it looks as if Version 6.5 Lite no TL or SPB is in the lead.
Please keep voting, this will help me in creating future roms.

Open Touch 3.0
I started off with 3.0, and I think it was most stable of all the other versions. I do really like 6.5 though. I just wish you made a biggy version of 6.5 without throttle launcher. It's too sluggish for me.

Hello
The ROM is super nice from the last one but I have two problems in counted with the new ROM
Biggy
1. Not able to change weather for another city or zip code
how can I do that
2. My phone kept calling it self at night starting at 4 am
I noticed it is dialing my own number
over and over
3. It dialed my other number on it own

The biggy will come without TL after the UL version has been released.

i loved open touch biggy v3.0 but i have to say i seriously loved the dialer from 6.1 spb lite diamond the dialer skin and the com manager skin i had problems getting any MMS's for some reason though. again how can i add the skins to the version i am using now 6.5 no TL no spb?

+1.
UL was that thang! Just waiting for another one.....

I really liked OT 5.0 diamond lite. The today screen was perfect. But the 6.5 build is super fast. I tried spb its just to intense for our weak little wings. TL has great potential but still to buggy for me. Id say the best thing would make a lite and a biggy with no shell and let people install their own.

#1 OT v.3 biggy #2 OT 6.0 lite Diamond spb
ive tried all of them and v 3.0 biggy has my vote being the best right out of the box, no bugs at all, ive tried the TL's way to slow even over clocked to 286 then tied 6.5 no spb or TL very fast one issue with mail keeps sending messages, as soon as i find the fix i'll be running this one
I'm using 6.0 lite Diamond spb runs very good bluetooth could be a little better, but then that could be cuz of all the crap i installed to make MS voice command work better so i could have caller ID over bluetooth, would be nice if i didnt have to reinstall the spb then copy files over,
is 6.0 biggy fixed

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?

HTC Sense rom?

May be a noobish question but ive searched and searched and couldnt find anything.
Is there a rom already made or one in development with the HTC Sense instead of manilla?
Thanks for the help

HTC Sense is for Android, not Windows Mobile.
Sorry.

Not a true statement. Here is the link http://www.htc.com/uk/press.aspx?id=111998&lang=1033

i think porting SENSE UI to VGA and non capacitive devices like the raphael would be VERY difficult.
the HD2 or Leo is a whole different animal. porting the HD2's Manila has been done. but porting HD2's SenseUI would be quite a project.

Sorry, I hadn't realised they're now referring to the new HD2 version of Manilla as HTC Sense. I assumed what was being requested was the Android HTC Sense UI on Windows Mobile. From what I can see, HTC Sense for Windows Mobile (on the HD2) looks (from the videos) to be Manilla 2.5. If I'm wrong in this, please ignore me

To get the Windows Mobile Version of HTC Sense UI is also known as Manilla 2.5. Currently, Manilla 2.5 is only fully functional on wvga phones.
But worry not. Manilla 2.5 is in development for vga devices, and is near perfect.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=493657
that is a link to a ROM with Manilla 2.5, same UI as the HTC HD2(HTC Leo)
If you want an authentic, Android Sense UI, you might want to do a search for Android on Diamond, should be the first result. Its not fully functional, so the Manilla 2.5 ROM is your best bet.
I loved using that Manilla 2.5, I had to move away from that ROM because the chef was using winmo 6.5 buld 23017, which I really did not like compared to the newer builds.

What about WM 6.6 ?

That support multitouch etc...
It has been anounced for february and ... nothing.
If anyone know more about it...
Thanks

You could check on xbeta.cn, but if there is nothing here, there, or at ppcgeeks... with the announcement of WP7, M$ could have dropped the project altogether.

6.6 will be to 6.5.5 what 6.5.5 was to 6.5, that is, not a major retooling but just bringing stuff up to spec with the general UX paradigm (touch/capacative friendly)
Remember that 6.6 is intended for a parallel release with WP7 so we're still a ways off from it. It will likely just 'creep into being' like the 6.5.x series did.
Also, from what I recall, 6.5.5 already has multitouch capability built in. (I would need to check the references to be sure, but off the top of my head im pretty sure)

From what I've played with on the HD Mini, it does have multitouch. It's in the browser (and it's not HTCs messing around), though I've yet to find any method for interacting with the multitouch framework...

Ok thanks wait and see...
But an os with native multitouch for hd2 will be great (depending that htc make an official update)

Do you know if 6.6 is still based on CE5 or is it that rumoured OS that takes the step up to CE6?

6.6 will be based on CE5. It will only improve some things.

thanks!
is already something known what the improvements will be in detail?

Are you happy with the speed of your ROM?

If so, what is it?
Im currently using kwbr topix 3.5.10 and its really slow.
Most menu selections take ages to appear.
Im looking for a speedier ROM, Id be happy downgrading to 6.1 if that would speed things up...
Any suggestions?

the you're using is running Sense 2.5, which was made for th HD2. It's true that it isn't running very smoothly. You could try flashing a WM 6.5 rom with Sense 2.1 or even Touchflo 3D. For example, try this rom if you don't care about Sense but do like WM 6.5. It is supposed to be the on of the fastest wm6.5 roms with Touchflo

I´m quite happy with mine (see signature for details)

I'm very happy with mine at last. I downgraded to winmo 6.1 using the Kenia BlackNew III Rom. It's using Sense 2.5 and is still very fast and stable. It haven't been this fast since I bought it

accountabc, thanks for the reply.
I'll try downgrading to Sense 2.1.
Someone also suggested that I use Task 29 the next time I flash...
Thanks.

Excellent suggestion.
I've had this Rom for about a day now and its brilliant.
Its really fast in comparison to my previous Topix 6.5 Sense 2.5
Thanks.
