I bought a fabulous android device, and I'd like to give my old Htc touch Viva to my father BUT WM 6.1 original is not accessible to a 60 years old man.. the font is too small, buttons are small the interface isn't intuitive and so on..
My simple question is:
Is there a ROM that fits my needs? in other words: is there a ROM for old people that could be installed on my old phone?

i have a simple questio why all ROM cooker`s make only wm6 and wm6.1 professional instead of improving the standard one wich was made for smartphones non touchscreen?The wm6 and wm6.1 pro are to hard to use because HTC Tornado doesn`t have touch screen..why all of you try to improve the pro version instead of the standard one?
Because 6.1 Professional has a lot more options and is a lot more powerful in general. I encourage you to get hold of a Wizard or Hermes or TyTN or one of HTC's touchscreen PDA phones with 6.1 Pro on it (I have a friend who owns a Wizard that I play with once in a while) and try it out.
If they can get 6.1Pro to work on a Smartphone, I can see how a lot of people would want it.
Of course, on a personal level, I've tried one of the 6.1Pro ROMs currently available for the Tornado and, honestly, I don't like it. It's got a lot of stuff that I want, but the interface just doesn't seem to work for me. I can't find my way around, can't figure out the button layout. If there was a 6.1 Standard that had all the options and capabilities of 6.1Pro, or if there was a 6.1Pro with a 6.1Standard interface, I'd be ALL FOR IT.
In any case, there's at least one person working on a 6.1 Standard for us Tornado users - GnatGoSplat has an *excellent* 6.1 Standard ROM that's been available for quite some time and, we're hoping, will be updated in the near future. GnatGoSplat rules.

I'm with you on this mate... Pro is for touch screen devices. Why the heck would anyone want that on a non-touch screen device? I have an HTC Touch running GnatGoSplats WM6.1 Pro - brilliant... I also have a Tornado running Gregory's WM6 Neo - also brillianr, but I wouldn't want anOS designed for a completely different kind of device on my Tornado no matter how good Pro is! Leave Pro with the touch screen devices, THAT'S WHAT IT'S FOR!!!

yes but pro isn`t for non touchscreen devices...in my opinion for HTC Tornado make wm6.1 or wm6 better and do not try to make the pro version better...
Hi experts,
I have been using on a HTC Excalibur the WM6.1 (non-touch smartphone edition) today screen with great satisfaction.
I liked the design and the clear organisation of this today screen.
I now moved to a touch device with also WM6.1, but really miss my good old non-touch "today" screen. The touch version is completely different and IMHO less well organized.
Do you know, if there is a solution existing to retrieve this today screen from the old device to run it on the new one instead of the touch versions and the modified HTC flavors of it?
Thank you for your advice...

If you do a lot of typing on your phone than a hardware keyboard is quite handy.
Phones with hardware keyboard:
- Sony Ericsson Xperia X1
- HTC Touch Pro 1 or 2 (Pro2 will not be released for some time, so maybe not an option)
If you don't want/need a hardware keyboard, you've got quite some options.
In my opinion the best choice at the moment:
- HTC Touch Diamond2
- HTC Touch HD
Maybe you would like a smartphone (Blackberry like):
- HTC Snap
I recently upgraded to a T-Mobile MDA Compact V and having spent a few hours playing around with a customised version of the HTC Touch Diamond2 interface I used the Hard-SPL to flash the ROM with an original ROM, which I would like to add is much better.
I then starting thinking whether it is possible to replace the Windows based OS with the latest version of Andriod packaged with the HTC Hero. The HTC Touch Diamond2 and the HTC Hero appear to have quite a few similarities in terms of specifications so would it really be difficult to install Andriod...???
If any one knows then please enlighten the rest of us.
Thanks,
Khaz

A lot of people are working on Android ports for WM devices. Having said that, I would wait (unless you are a programmer, someone with the knowledge to do this, or simply an adventurer with high chances of getting an expensive paperweight )
Look in the threads (or Google) for Android port +WM or something like that. Good luck
BTW, you should have posted this in the Q&A section...
Hi there.
I'm new to this room's world, i'm searching for the last few hours, what's the benefit to put a wm 6.5 rom in my htc touch cruise p3650, but, i'm finding it kinda confusing...
I'm asking your opinion, if it's any good to get rid of wm6.1 and try one of those rooms...
And what's the room that i should install?
is there any Step by Step tutorial for the htc touch cruise p3650 room install?
ty guys
Sorry for any "bad English" i'm from Portugal BTW.
Welcome to the forums!
The are some advantages, but also some disadvantages:
+ Flex scrolling (pretty smooth I think)
+ New UI (called Titanium)
+ Memory enhanced, however:
- Slower
There isn't much changed.
You can however go for 6.5.3.
This features a more graphical UI which does work a lot better with your finger, so touch friendly.
Just try a few roms to see if one fits your needs!
