I tried a couple of 6.1 ROMs here but they seems only porting the themes of 6.1 device, appearing like 6.1 ROM but don't have 6.1 applications such as new Office Mobile, OWA mail sync, New MSN messenger etc. Even control panel applets are copied from WM2003 ROM.
I am looking for a ROM support most of 6.1 features such as OWA and new MSN messenger.
If the Flash ROM of XDAII is too small, can we install them on storage card or RAM Disk?
well first of all these are not just themes..its a fruit of all the Developers and cooks...If you want a real WM 6.1..then i suggest you buy Htc Diamond..it has every thing ( no offence )
I have to say sorry for my words that sound offensive to ROM chefs. I just tried c_shekhar's ROM it does have new Office Mobile and supporting OWA. However mail and poutlook use PPC2003 style UI and MSN messenger looks quite old (it couldn't connect for some reason).
I do have WM6.1 devices (even used HTC diamond for a few weeks) so I know differences.
Thanks for developers great works to give rebirth to this old but classic device.
By looking at other WM5 devices that using customized WM6.x ROMs such as XDA mini, I wonder there might be a XDA2 ROM does as good as them.
Well, these are true WM6.1 ROMs, but they're cut down, as Himalaya is running off its ROM space, and a whole WM6.1 wouldn't fit into it...

Hi, ALL
I have G3 T-Mobile MDA (Wizard), running Wm5 custom ROM from Xelencin and latest Radio ROM.
Also I have installed
SPB Diary, Pocket Plus, Weather, Imageer, Backup
Resco File Explorer
PhotoDialer Plug-in
WM5Storage
MemMaid
Some RSS Reader
iGuidance
MS VoiceCommand 1.5
IMPlus, Skype
Yahoo 2 Go, Google Maps, Live Search
TCPMP
etc
most of these on 2GB miniSD. Everything works. I use most of that from time to time.
I saw faria WM6 ROM. I saw MB Rom, I saw Mun's Rom. My question is - do I need to upgrade to WM6 ? Will it add something, which probably I'm missing ?
Or it is just to have latest Windows Mobile OS ?
Second big question - will my apps work with WM6 ?
Also if moderators think this question belongs to Wizard Mobile 6 forum, can you please move it

Do you need to upgrade? Probably not. I will say that most (not all) of the custom roms will give you more space and will run faster than the stock official roms.
Will add something, which you are probably missing? The quick answer is yes. You are missing the frustration that some of us go through with these . Seriously though, its hard to answer it, but for me I find the custom roms more stable than my original Cingular 2.25, faster, gives me more room on the phone itself, and just more fun to play with (but then I'm a geek).
I can't honestly say why the draw to WM6 other than the geek factor involved and the ability to show friends and coworkers that you are running WM6 (and they don't care anyone or don't even know what you are babbling on about).
I would suggest you at least give Faria's or Molksi's 2.3 and 3.3 ROMs a try even if you aren't interested in WM6. They are VERY nice and stable. But also, understand that you will have to fiddle and tweak with your phone for a day or two to get it back to where you want it.
Second big question - will my apps work with WM6 ?

I've used Spb Backup, Resco Explorer, WM5torage, Memmaid, MS VoiceCommand 1.6 all on Faria's AKU 3.3, WM6 MBE, and Faria's WM6 "the real thing" and they all work.
I'll defer to others on the rest of your list.
I know you didn't list it but, as you are using other spb products,
spb time doesn't fully work
How did you get Yahoo go 2?
double post
I received email with Yahoo go 2 and there was a link. Just went there and install. Dont remember exactly, but something like that
It's only available for smartphones... You don't happen to have a link/file handy? :d
Yahoo Go 2 for smartphones and pocket pc phones:
This is where I got mines from, they had it as an option when it first came out but now it is hidden and they want your phone information to send it to you.
This link will get you the cab. file and the active sync download.

this all on a wm6.5 in german?
wm 6.5 is not important, german would be nice but english as well, more i would like to have a fast wm version with the features above...
I remeber my odl days with xda neo, the original rom was 50% slower then a 6.1 for the web...
Can anyone suggest me a rom include this features?
I'd give it a go for a while before you flash a new ROM, see what you think about the stock ROM and its shortcomings, and then look for a ROM that fixes the shortcomings as you see fit.
Well, you're looking for pretty much the same things as everyone else
But if you want German language, you have the following options at this time
- Norti's Nx1i (6.1) superfast and stable but plain boring WM 6 Today Screen with only QuickMenu as UI gimmick
- AleFefe's very early 6.5 alpha and his more mature 6.1 TF3D - i can't say much about this one yet
- Chalid's cmex (TF3D) seems nice if you like his TF3D customization style
- udK's GER Rom (TF3D) excellent TF3D port, but the brandnew release from yesterday has a few issues - he will certainly fix soon
- YYYYY's Hv3 (TF3D) will be updated tonight - i keep coming back to this one since it's so smooth and stable. My favorite German ROM at this time.
Please note that almost no one has a leaked native German 6.5 yet - so if you insist on 6.5, you might want to wait a few more days/weeks.
I dont want to promote my Rom here, but......
You can try my Rom if you want.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=503712
It's not 100% Ready for all of your Purposes.
There wont be Manila/TouchFlo. For now its only able to show you the whole Speed-Potential of WinMo 6.5 on the Xperia and you can play mp4 Movies smoothly on it. Further Versions of this Rom will include working YouTube, support for more movie formats like avi or mpg and many Multimedia Features like Ringtones, Wallpapers, Themes and Panels.
Maybe, if you have some time to wait, this Rom could be very close to perfect for you.

Thay exactly what Ill do, but from my old experiance with the xda neo I know that the original Roms are overloaded and slow...
I was looking for a dutch windows 6.5 rom but I couldn't find in xda. I think that this is the right place to ask, is there a clean (original, but not necessary) dutch windows mobile 6.5 rom without any extras?
Hello,
I have a HTC S730.
Which Rom should I use to upgrade ?
- WM6.1 English Build 20757

- Working WM 6.1 - UPDATE! 13/04/2008
- NEW 20757 ROM for WINGS
Thank you for your help.

I have the same question, ...but is it even worth updating it, i saw a video on youtube comparing wm6 to wm6.1 and 6.1 seems real slow aside from startup.......if thats the case, i dont mind slow boot up, but prefer fast loading for applications....i most commonly use audio manager, sms, and acrobat reader.........only thing that has me interested is the threaded messaging
it really is good to upgrade to 6.1.
because you actually get copy-paste function, nicer WM homescreen(if you don't like HTC Live Home, which is default), ofcourse threaded messaging, overall I have noticed, that I have more free RAM and the device responds faster.
and i used this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=447777
been second day on it and still no problems.
Hope it helps
is working realy gud
Hi, I need an information. Is these wm6.5 roms fast and stable on imate kjam?
Mine slows down after sometime, once I install wm6.5. However, I use my finger for using the phone and wm6.1 though it is faster, it is not finger friendly. What is the best rom for stability, fastness & finger friendliness. Is it wm6.5 or wm6.1. Which rom among this is very fast. Also I use the SPB mobile shell. So with this installed, which will be faster and stabler.
Hey umasiva,
I don't know if the WM6.5 will ever be fast on our Wizards, but I can't really tell, since I have never flashed a 6.5 ROM on mine.
My recommendation is that you use a 6.1 ROM and some 3rd party app to make things more finger-friendly. Check the ROM on my signature, it's not mine, but I really like it. Simple, fast and stable. I'm using ir for over 2 months and no freezes or bugs until now. Even the camera is better than before!
To make things more finger-friendly, there are plenty apps around: iContact for contacts list; Wktask for a little bigger X/OK button; WAD for skinning and changing Today Screen in awfull ways; PCMKeyboard if you prefer the onscreen typing, with bigger buttons...
Just search around and you find many of them
Cheers

Hi Nandobang,
Thanks for your advice. As u were mentioning, I got frequent freezing with wm6.5 roms, as I liked to use it with either SPB mobile shell or more of Pointui. I think I will go back to wm6.1 rom. The only think I like a lot in wm6.5, which I miss in wm6.1 is the smooth scrolling. I dont know whether any application is there to give the feel of smooth scrolling in wm6.5 to wm6.1. If so, please let me know.

How about you go and look in the ROM development forum? I'm sure you'll find something you like in there.
Be sure to read up on how to unlock your phone as well. Also.. While you're at it, check the wiki. There's lots of good stuff in there too.
6.5 and 6.1
can u upload windows 6.1 and 6.5 plz
Hi!
I am kind of a noob when it comes to phone hacking so i ask for help here.
I have a Blackstone with WM 6,1. Is there any way to put WM 6,5 on it and make it work as smooth as it does now?Or do you recommend to put Android on it? I have read stuff about putting android on a blackstone and it does not sound like it works any good, but maybe i am wrong.
What do i need to swap from WM 6,1 to WM 6,5, and how do i do it.
Thank you from Forca
Windows Mobile 6.5 is not lighter or faster than 6.1. It takes more RAM and use more CPU. The only WM 6.5 ROMs for Touch HD are the ones done by the cooks here. They have ported also Manilla 2.5, so you can have twitter, facebook, footprints.. tabs weather animations, etc
You can get a very useful and fast ROM installing KWBR 6.1 and then installing a twitter client, facebook app, marketplace... if you want.
In the end depends on what you want more. WM 6.5 ROMs come with latest versions of many apps, but most of them can be installed on WM 6.1 too.
There have been other people asking the same only a few days ago, please use search:

There's a section on this forum for Android on Touch HD but it's not a ROM and it's not a replacement for WM ROMs. Several things do not work at all (GPS, camera), and it's very slow on average. It's nice to take a look at Android and test apps, since you do not have to modify the ROM, you just reboot and load Android from the SD card. But it's not like you're going to run Android all the time on this device.
Thank you very much for your help
