So I've heard a lot of people stating they've "Upgraded to WM6.1", and I'm just wondering:
Does this mean they've flashed to schap's (or another WM6.1, sorry I can't remember anymore of the top of my head) WM6.1 ROM or have they got a MS standard ROM from Microsoft? Is there a standard WM6.1 ROM available for the Kaiser (not one that's been cooked)?
Thanks in advance for your patience with my uber noob-ness.
Cheers
There's no standard WM6.1 from Microsoft (not one that we can download any how).
I've upgraded to one of Dutty's Beta 6.1 roms (it's private, hopefully a full release will be out soon). But Schaps should be OK for now.
Cheers Dave. Always nice to clarify things.

Sorry for the new thread, but a search yielded nothing (I'm sure there's something wrong with it?)
Anyhow, I've been using Dutty's new WM6.1 ROM, and I loved it, however, Bluetooth seems to be playing up with that ROM, and I was wondering if there was anychance somebody could help me get the "Grass" theme from Dutty's ROM? I've had to go back to Sleuth's untill I find a way to sort bluetooth out (or dutty, if the problem is with the ROM itself).
Cheers in advance
Hello,
Is there a wiki on how to upgrade from WM 6 to WM 6.1? (On a Kaiser).
Also, will it improve something on the Pocket PC?
Thanks!
No, other than the Kaiser upgrading Wiki maybe, but that mostly is about flashing.
With 6.1, you get a few new features, such as threaded SMS, a somewhat faster startup speed, and that's about all I can think of off the top of my head.
but, nearly every rom is 6.1 nowadays, so you might as well

Just the same process as flashing any wm6 rom really... If this is your first flash then read up on this in detail before attempting to do so.
Other than that it's pretty straight forward. I upgraded my SPL to 3.28 first (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=396922) then upgraded to a WM6.1 rom.
Hope this helps
2 threads with the same name? WTF, can't you ask 2 questions in the same lame thread?

Hi,
i have been verry happy with my MDAII with one of the original german 1.72 ROMs, but as more and more tools seem only to run from 5.0+ i think the time has come to update.
So, as a noob, the question for me is: Use an 6.1 rom(which then?) or go straight to 6.5? What would you recommend regarding performance, stability, usability and program support... WWE or german would be fine for me.
Until now is used my hima basically as phone(profiles with PocketZenPhone), navigation(tomtom) and other gsp gimmicks (using gspgate) and to schedule my appointments/task(pocket informant).
Thanks for any help,-)
Frank
P.S.: From the look i would chose 6.5 but it seems like Spb Mobile Shell would allow such things also on 6.1 ???
First make sure you have a copy of your original rom,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=510675
then you can test yourself.
Normally you can switch back and forth, as you like to.
Everything you need is in this forum, read ask the search button and use your brainpower!
UH, mystic!
Ups, I'm Senior now?!?
Hi Guys,
I had a quick question...
Is there a place where I can find an archive of Itje's Touch-IT Roms? As in, the older versions of his release. The reason why I ask is because I am looking for his latest and final release of a Touch-IT Rom with WM 6.1 and Manila. Can anyone tell me what version that was and perhaps, where I can find it, with any additional fixes that applied to it? I would deeply appreciate your help. For your convenience and not to appear annoying, I tried searching for these versions, but to no avail. If anyone can help, I'd appreciate it.
I tried all the WM6.5 Roms, but I just can't seem to find a totally stable and bug free version for everyday use. Itje's came the closest, but I am still looking for more stability. I suppose I'd just wait till an RTM version is release for WM6.5.
Thank you for your time and help.
Latest 6.1 from itje is v10:

Most of them are uploaded to the ftp of Mostberg. You can find that here:
ftp://minftp.myftp.org/XperiaX1i/ROMs/Touch-IT/
But as Lokatho says, v10 is the latest. I think 10.4 is the latest in that series; it runs very good. I've had it for quite some time, but I really love the new Manila 2.5 so I switched to Touch-IT Leo, which has WM6.5. Since I use Manila most of the times, I can live with that

Both 10.4 and 10.31 are the latest, 10.31 has Rhodium manila and landscape support. 10.4 has newer Topaz manila without landscape.
Thank you very much for your prompt and helpful responses guys. I love the Maila Leo, especially the way it's been set up in agent_47's Firestorm ROM, but it's just not stable enough.
Speaking of which, a little off-topic question here, but is there a way to get the black Manila skin/theme that agent_47 has in his ROM, with the Touch-IT v10.31 ROM? Like a .cab or something available that skins the TF3D Black?
Again, my deepest gratitude for your help!

Maybe you can find that in the skin / theme section. I think 10.31 uses Manila 2.0, but it can be 2.1. You'd have to check. A lot of color themes from knaplullig should work. Just try them before changing anything else on the phone. If it doesn't work, just hard reset
I have tried many ROM's based on WM6.1 and 6.5 with my both my Blackstone and Kaiser.
For me, and this is my personal preference, I prefer WM6.1.
I am probably in the minority on this.
Everyone looks for something different in a ROM.
So, which is the best ROM depends on who you ask,
and how you use your phone.
For my Blackstone, I find L26_THDV3.55_Rhodium_WWE_Ultimate
is the best one for me.
For my Kaiser, HyperDragon_IV_IOLITE_WWE_20090204
Both are 6.1 ROM's.
We now have Hard-SPL. Thanks to all involved.
There are a couple of WM6.5 ROM's out, but posts show bugs,
which are being worked on by the chefs.
I am currently running the stock 6.1 on it, as most of us are
and it runs fine, but I am sure it could be better.
Is anyone going to be cooking a 6.1 ROM for the Rhodium?
Yeah, I prefer WM6.1 over WM6.5, too! And yes, I'm cooking with WM6.1 and Multilang!
so for a winmo newbie what is main benefits of running 6.5?

That is a decision you have to make.
Read through the posts on 6.5 ROM's and see if you prefer
the features and the user interface.
i'm loving the Tricolor [Albino] Red 6.1, that was my vision.......
i've had to go back to Leo's 3.55, so as i can start on the theme fixes tho,
this being so i don't need to flash each color, i can just install/uninstall each of the colors.....
but i'll be going back
I prefer 6.5, so I'm waiting for the first (mostly) bug-free 6.5 rom
I too am waiting for a solid 6.5, I like the finger friendliness of the 6.5.
But what is even better is TF 2.5 or 2.6, I have it on my HD and it is laid out so well that it doesn't matter if you have 6.1 or 6.5. you really don't need to leave touch flo.
I'm not seeing any benefits of 6.5 yet.
6.1 with Manila 2.5 (or 2.6 ) would be my preference for now, at least until 6.5 matures a bit.
Whew, thought I was the only one.

Agreed totally on this, 6.1 with manila 2.6 would be perfect
I did the 6.5 thing for almost a week and had to go back to 6.1. I don't know just something about it wasn't right.

Agreed, I just prefer 6.1. Tried 6.5 for about three days. Had to flash back (this was on Blackstone and Xperia)
I have been using 6.5 since today, and I have to say I like it. The menu fonts are larger and more finger-friendly. Today page and Start Menu are quite nice too, they just look better than the old ones. It runs very smooth, and especially wi-fi seems to connect quicker than the original ROM.
I'll be trying another 6.5 ROM with manilla 2.6 as soon as it comes out, can't wait!
The official 6.5 on this forum is significantly faster/more stable than the stock 6.1. I imagine these things have more to do with how well the ROM is cooked than 6.1/6.5 issues.
6.5 wins hands down. It has smoother finger scrolling, you can finger scroll within a drop-down list box and you can move sms messages from the threaded view into folders. These aren't possible in 6.1.
The Lock Screen is also excellent, and removes the need for S2U2.
I ran multiple 6.1 and 6.5 cooked roms on my excalibur. 6.5 is significantly faster, period. I am waiting a week or three until the TP2 builds becomes a little more stable before I flash off the stock rom but it will be to a 6.5.
I really hope there is a stable manilla 2.5 or 2.6 build soon... saw the vid of 2.6 on engadget and was blown away.
c.r.u.i.s.e released a 6.1 ROM, but it is Italian, so I haven't tried it.
Have tried the latest Energy ROM(August 21),
which is 6.5 and it is certainly fast.
Has a lot programs preloaded that I will never use.
At0mAng is releasing a 6.5 over the weekend.
She makes cleaner ROM's and I will certainly try it.
this is my first true experience with wm6.1 .
before this i had a samsung blackjack =x that i flashed 6.1 onto.
i enjoyed it but it was slow and pales in comparison to the TP2 with 6.1 .
i cant wait to get a stable release to find all the marvels of 6.5 .
Stock ROM is still fine for rhodium. Its the first time i like a stock rom on a WM device, and I am a real flashing freak on all my other devices.
forgive the newbie post but...
what is manila? and I can't find any zoom for IE in the 6.5 I downloaded. Is there a zoom on IE in the stock 6.1? I have a htc touch pro 2.
