Windows mobile 6.1 Rom - HTC Wings

Does someone knows if there is a WM 6.1 ROM for the Wings?
I see several devices that already work with WM 6.1 but I can't find one for the Wings.

I have been wanting to make one. But I cant seem to find a Windows Mobile 6.1 standard version.. Only the Pro for touch screens...

If I can find a standard ROM, what more do I need to create a cooked ROM?

You would need a kichen to cook it.. Kaiser kitchen works.
Hard to tell if you need anything else without alittle try and fail.
But an OS would help a lot.. I tried flashing a Pro version to my wings..
Did not work out well

I'll keep an eye open for the standard version.
it seems that the Motorola Q9 is already equiped with 6.1 standard (possibility to rip the rom?)

Yes, it is possible. But it would come with alot of Motorola SW included, and no HTC SW... So that would take some work I guess..

mmmmm.. first we have to find a person who has such a phone

BTW what is all the buzz for? What are new features/improvements compared to WM6?

It was told that there is more free ram at boot. And hopefuly some minor bug fixes

i really want 6.1
and the demand for a cooked rom is high!!

I think we are all waiting to someone who will make it. To be honest - original ROM is not a masterpiece. My previous device was HTC TyTN and there are many available ROMs for this dev. We have to hope there will appear someone like dutty (IMO best ROM creator for TyTN). Meanwhile we can just sit and cry for him/her

I really want it too.
And i join the queue for request a cooked version of WM6 (maybe one closer to a Pro WM6)

I hardly doubt WM6 Pro could be used as a base. Either it is impossible (most probable) or work on adoption to Standard would be too hard.

Uhmmm...
so u think will not be possible upgrade the S730 to a Pro version??

Yes, I do. In my opinion differences of the architecture of whole OS will be big. And altough I'm really interested in WM generally I didn't hear about any successful attempt of porting from PPC -> Smartphone.

If microsoft officially released WM6.1 standard it should not be so hard to find/rip it? right?

IMO they should just make it available to buy just like any other version of Windows!

Perhaps. In-house geeks always find a way

Hi Guys,
I recently bought a HTC S730 with Windows Mobile 6 standard - I am slightly disappointed with this userfriendlyness of this software (you have to tap/click to many times to get what you want). I have read a lot of posts in these forums, but can not seem to find a way to change.
I am looking for is some newbie step by step guide explaining in detail how I should flash with new modded software... I am an experienced C# developer, so technical things shouldn't be a problem
I have radio version: 25.62.30.03H_1.58.17.02
Hoping for some help.

as to today, there is no new ROM available for the Wings.
but an official flash is easy as.... just run an exe file, the phone reboots, you wait for 10 mins and voila! done.
Not official roms are a bit trickier...

New WM 6.1 Professional ROM or Diamond ROM

I wish someone could strip the new WM 6.1 Pro rom and create one for the herald, wing, etc. I am not smart enough to know how to do this, but there are plenty of people here who could accomplish this. Here are the links:
Sprint Mogul ROM:
http://ppckitchen.org/misc/T3.49.rar
And Diamond:
http://uploaded.to/?id=ma0u71
DO NOT FLASH THESE TO YOUR HERALD, WING OR P4350 THEY ARE NOT FOR THESE DEVICES!!!

please write down which OS CE version and Build number....
The mogul is NOT a herald device. Anyone thinking of flashing this into their Heralds, do NOT do so.
As far as stripping goes, the hard part is testing... we can't test it without a Mogul ourselves.
I have xv6800 and t-mobile wing. If you want me to test i can.
The base is wm 6.1...
My thought, Ivan, was that someone could get the base wm 6.1 os and adapt it for the Wing. Since this is the first WM Pro 6.1 RUU that I have seen. I have seen no WM Pro OS versions that show the functionality that the WM Standard (Smartphone) version shows...I also have a t-mobile Dash (Excaliber) and I got a hold of the new 6.1 rom and flashed it on....It is awesome functionality from the Today screen. Anyway, it would be great to have that same functionality in the Pro version...like we've seen in the photos of the Diamond.
Hey did any of ya get that diamond rom to work on your phone? I got the wing and its giving me a error about the image.
It's not a Wing/Herald ROM. Like I said, do NOT try to flash it.
o ok, I want to get a diamond rom on my phone is there one out there ?
Released ROMs? I think only pappamopp's and that's newer than the diamond ROM, but not from a diamond itself.
I have a diamond port currently on my cellphone but that's not ready for release, yet.
You won't get all the diamond features, all you will get is the newer build of windows mobile 6.1.
ok well how can i get something on my phone that looks like the diamond? when are you going to releaseport?

The diamond TouchFLO3D requires 3d hardware acceleration. What you can do is download throttleLauncher and the TouchFLO3D theme. It's not perfect, but it gives you the looks.
Oh ok i might try that. Ivanmmj u have aim?
Yes. PM me. I don't like giving it out in the open... I'd be spammed day and night...

I complained to HTC in person about reliability issues with the HTC TyTN II WM 6.1 'upgrade that was more of a downgrade' (pausing, GPS perfomance issues, phone not ringing when calls came in - these were just some of the issues I experienced) and they reverted it all for free under warranty for me. Even though I still have the original WM 6.0 ROM, the Radio and SPL (other code programmed onto the phone) are slightly newer & fix a few bugs with the original setup so my device is now super reliable. Why not give that a try? Even if they won't revert it, there'll still be ways of doing it yourself if needed but if your phones under warranty and you're experiencing problems with their setup, really it should be up to them to fix it for you. Let us know how you get on.
ya those dicks wont downgrade it for me. can anyone show me steps to downgrade to 6.0 maybe even 5.0? ?
The wiki is your friend

Why not, what did they say and which country HTC (you've not filled in your country or network on the User Control Panel/Profile)? You won't be able to downgrade to WM 5 because the TyTN II only came out with WM 6.0 or 6.1 but if you read the wiki, all the info you need to do it is in there. People here won't hold your hand through it, you'll need to do your own research and make sure you understand fully so you don't make a mistake. If it's a reliable WM 6.0 setup you're after on a WWE HTC TyTN II Kaiser (ie HTC Branded), then the components in my sig are a good combination other than very occasional sluggish keyboard responses when typing.
ok but before i downgrade can i ask you a quick favor? can you donwload the latest version of pocket gba and tell me if it freezes when loading a rom for you?

Now I have my TyTN II set up as I like it (by and large), I'm not looking to do any ROM 'loading'... I'm not even sure what that means in fact. If your program is WM 6.0 compatible and you don't have any other conflicting software it should work on the native WM 6 HTC ROM but as you haven't answered all the other questions about what you currently have, it's hard to say if it'll work for you. Maybe someone else more familiar with this product knows about its general compatibility.
dot dot dot >>;;;xD pocketgba is a emulator a program not a rom -.-; the only reason wHy i want to downgrade is because i wanna know if it works with 6.0 b/c it freezes on 6.1
so let me tell you it works, but doesn't work well. there is no gba emu for kaiser which can play games with decent fps.
I have a similar problem I'm out of warranty so no use going to HTC they said they'd only put the latest which is 6.1 as they are contractually obliged by law - so where would I get hold of wm6.0 so I can revert mine back from 6.1 to 6.0?

Well then they broke the law with me. 'Contractually obliged', what a load of rubbish. It takes 2 to have a valid contract and if one party doesn't want WM 6.1 then there cant be a contract.

There are WM 6.0 ROMs accessible through a link on the wiki (a chart that shows different ROM versions with their matching Radios). You'll need to read up to know what you're doing first, otherwise if you don't want the hassel, pay a phone repair shop to do it for you.

I think they mean contractually obligated to Microsoft. They piss and moan about anybody offering any Windows based rom for any longer than they are contracted to. This means new or older roms.
Grrrr

That's even more annoying The same company that lets HTC sell a product with their OS on it and doesn't even insist it has full driver support first. Given they allowed the device to come out with WM 6.0 once upon a time, it should be up to the manufacturer to put the most reliable ROM for the customers needs on the device and if that means the latest isn't the greatest then either fix the latest or use another version.
The bottom line is HTC can get away with doing this if they want to, I know through personal experience.

REQ: German ROM based on the final Windows Mobile 6.5

Hi,
I would very much like to see a German ROM with the final version of Windows Mobile 6.5, the one we are going to see on October the 6th. I believe it is build 21234, at least that is the one in the SDK.
If possible, I would like the ROM to have all original programs. Nothing should be deleted or added to the image. No tools, no taskmanagers, nothing. No Manila please...
Is it possible to do that? Thank you very much in advance
You have to make a search before posting...see RTT leet rom!
I am using RTT Leet ROMs but this is not what I asked for. I have searched and found nothing! I just want a normal WinMobile build based on the final RTM version of Windows Mobile. Everybody here is cooking much later builds which I don't find very good. They are also removing ringtones, programs and I hate that. I wish I could have an original Windows Mobile ROM with no extra stuff.

Than you are on the false site RTT have realy make a very good job and when you will a offical latest rom for the hd, than go back to the win 6.1 on the htc homepage RTT has remove some things to make his version on the inoffical rom of wm6.5 for the hd really fast and smooth. I tried really many roms and his version is very, very fast. I think you not will find something of your wishes for a rom.
I guess you haven't understood what I wrote...

Who said anything about official ROMs?

Petvas,
I dont think you will find what you are looking for. You may wanted to talk a chef whether he would cook a ROM just for you
Ask buddy count h's a German Cook see here "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=534534" and ask him self to cook a rom for you
I don't think that anyone here would make a ROM just for me. Maybe I should learn to do it myself. I just don't understand why people aren't interested in the final Windows Mobile 6.5 build and like things like Manila. If someone likes Windows Mobile, then he/she should see that Manila is nothing but a threat to Windows Mobile..(and it is slow, just a bad copy of the iPhone). I like to use my stylus too..not only the fingers...

I am sorry but I can’t follow you about the manila.. Manila is just a skin that sits on the WM platform. Manila wouldn’t function if it would not use the data Base given by WM OS. However said that if you don’t like it..Then you just disable it and you have the pure WM
That is unfortunately not correct. There are still things in the ROM that do not belong to the pure WM OS. As I said before I just wish to have a ROM based on the final WM 6.5 OS. How difficult is that?

Well I think it is impossible for what you are looking here or anywhere else. Only one choice "cook" your own rom.
petvas, as far as I know - official WM 6.5 will be launched in October.
Therefore about what official WM 6.5 are you talking about?
yep. you want something that still does not exist. there is no official wm 6.5, only beta releases.

Well, that cannot be true. Windows Mobile 6.5 was released to manufacters at least two months ago, otherwise it wouldn't be possible for them to bring devices on October the 6th. I would just like a ROM based on the RTM build...
Nobody knows what the RTM Build will be.

Most custom ROMs have trouble accessing the marketplace...I don't even understand why you guys remove it when cooking the ROM. Please create one with the Marketplace integrated and using the RTM of Windows Mobile 6.5

wm 6.5

hello guys!
wm 6.5 is now available but htc won't supply it for touch diamond phone.
now i have a question, @ the rom section there are many wm6.5 rom files, but i am a newbie and dont know which one is the best?
is anyone familiar about that roms? is there a rom with the final 6.5?
and which one is clean? some guys are changing everything... i just want an original touch flo 3D (newest version) and wm 6.5?
thx!
so long
Mmmm...
I'm afraid no one can tell you which is best because everyone has different tastes. All you can do is try them and see which suits your needs.
None of the 6.5 ROM's are completely bug-free. They are improving, and the ROM cookers are doing a good job making them work, but as they're not designed specifically for the Diamond, bugs are bound to exist however small.
If you can live with a bug or two, go ahead and try some, but don't expect perfection. I know it's a bind, but you really have to read through the posts to find out what users of the various ROM's are experiencing.
I've tried all the 6.5's, some better than others, but as I would like one to be how you would by it new, they all seem to disappoint somewhat. I'm gonna wait and buy a new device with 6.5 pre-installed

NO....but personally in my opinion why do you need an official when there is soooo much newer ROM in this forum?? most roms here are much newer than official ROM anyway.
true, just thought to try the official if there was before the cooked rom due to option/settings set by the chef that i may not want on a cooked rom

No official 6.5 ROM on T8282.
Mean no disrespect, newer doesn't always mean better. Especially when the hand-held device used on daily, real time based events.
It really sucks when you are checking up your schedule, the mobile phone went froze, with someone waiting your answers.
IMHO, stability, quick response are much more important than newer version. MS please give us one...8(

Well that's definitely TRUE! But you know that is why normally you should wait for other people to comment before installing them. You will find out whether they are seriously bug or rock stable. I dont know which ones you are using? but I have been using the latest Energy 23554 with GTX theme, and never had a single problem (crash or restart). In fact the GTX version look awesome! You need to remember most of the ROMs here are built from Non-official ROM or betas...so dont expect to be perfect!

Actually most of the Blackstone owners have been hoping for a free upgrade, including myself. Unfortunately I think HTC dont like that idea, maybe because it will affect the sales of their newer HTC Leo. But anyway...i dont really care now...since we have this great forum anyway...
okay i'll give energy 23557 a try and see how it goes
Really no point on upgrading. HTC is bussy creating other phones (mainly Android since WM is dead).
Can someone provide a single thing that we gain with WM 6.5?
I mean the OS itself, not a ROM based on WM 6.5 that comes with updated manilla, Opera, Office etc,. You can install any app on AM 6.1 too.
WM 6.1 uses less RAM, leaving more for the apps (on 6.5 I start with 50% used and after a while even after closing all apps, 65% used). And the start menu has a MRU app list that makes very fast to switch from one app (open or not) to another. I still have to see how WM 6.5 is better in any aspect.
