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.

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.

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

[Q] Haier L3D42D25N smart TV software update

Hello folks,
I am fairly new to the Android OS so please be gentle
I took the plunge and finally got a smart TV from Haier which came with the 2.3.4 Android system. All is fine an cherry in 2.3.4 town as of now (apart from its horribly looking user interface design). But was wondering if i could install the 4.0 update ?
Isnt the android system like any other where you have one default version of the OS that comes from google and then there are variants from the open-source community ? If so then which is the best stable version and where can i find it.
Installation of the 2.3.4 OS is on an MMC that i copied from the technicians that came home to fix the TV so i am fine with a backup and the procedure for the install from an MMC. But i assume that if i download the OS from the internet then the procedure will be a bit different ?
I'll update more of the details (Kernel version etc) when i get home. All this because the manufacture - Haier - does not provide updates online or on its website or anywhere on the web. Appreciate any help.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Gaj - I have the same question which you have. Did you get any response from anyone or have you now upgraded to the latest version ?
If you have the latest firmware to upgrade , please share it with me or else please share the OS back up what you have as I don't even have it
please help me
Regards
Sri

X-TIGI_JOY10 needs urgent attention.

Hi. I'm using an X-TIGI_JOY10 tablet. My android version is 5.1 and the tablet does not have an update android software option. I have checked the list of ROMs available but I do not have X-TIGI JOY10 as an option, but I want to experience the newer android versions. I would be very pleased if you added up ROMs that could support my device, looking at its specifications. Either I have X-TIGI's own or any other which is tailored to match my device's specs.
You can reply with the link(s) so that i can get them easily. THANK YOU.

I also have this device unfortunately I haven't been able to find any updates. But there is currently a rom in the manufacturer's website it's bundled with Baidu software which is in Chinese. If you manage to download I would be glad to know the details

ROM for TV box?

Hi there,
I hope I'm posting in the right forum here, otherwise please accept my apology.
I'm new to building ROMs. Currently I'm playing with the HiMedia Q30, don't like their firmware and would like to replace it. At first with alternative ROMs, then with my own build.
I wanted to try SlimRoms, CopperheadOS and LineageOS, but it looks like they're optimized for phones. Even the Oreo builds from the Android website are for phones.
Questions:
1. Do the mentioned ROMs work on any device?
1.1 If so, why are they optimized for different models?
2. Can you recommend a ROM for TV boxes?
3. Is there any general Android (preferably 7+) build that works on any device?
I appreciate your help. Thank you.

any luck with this yet?

Android Commission Work?

Hello, I have a Samsung Galaxy Exhibit (SGH-T599N) that I would like to repurpose and use for a type of iPod. My only issues are that it can only run upto Android Marshmallow (6.0) I am digging around in this community to try and find someone to build a more recent version of Twrp and an updated rom with most everything working. I am hoping this will be affordable. I am willing to give payment for this build of both Twrp and the Android OS if it is not possible to get at least 8.0 Oreo on it then I will take my sites elsewhere and use a different device. Thanks to all! Please let me know if you're interested.
