i'm sowry to put the same title again, but you didn't understood me. Wath i really want is to know if the cooker's can do a rom with the start menu of 6.1 and the way for instance we go to settings and connections and system, the way the pages are shown, the fonts, colours and so on.
may be the form i'm sayng this is not the most correct, and maybe my fault, but i'm trying the best i know.
I'm not asking you the rom you prefer - in that questions, i think each one should try and choose the one who serves you better, and it's impossible to please everybody....
i think it will be great to have a rom 6.1, with the usal interface, but when you press for instance settings - sounds, appear the fonts and graphics like 6.5 rom's... and connections and the file explorer and .....
is it possible, if yes i think the 6.1 rom will be much
i'm sayng this because 6.5 for me is confused, to achieve settings, programs and you have to scroll the front page and others.
my objectif is to know if that is possible, just that, and if someone can do that, infortunately, i don't know
IF the MOD think's this isn't the right place, he will do the right thing, to close or to put it in another place - all i want is to help, give ideas, and i'm not worried if the MOD come to close the thread - he will do the best...
If the MOD think's this thread doesn't have any utility please do what you have to do. i will not insist in this questions again
But i don't lose my time, just to ask to be closed....

Thank you
Are you saying you want a wm 6.5 rom with the start menu of a windows 6.1 rom? Why would you want this?
I don't see the point, 6.5 is only a graphic evolution of 6.1, if you remove that, 6.1=6.5.
You can install the wisbar advance and get the same fn in wm6.5
i like classic start menu. For me is easy to access last programs used before and the access to programs in general. Just that.
Miri is a good option in fact, but classic menu cab doesn't work.
But i appreciate your help indeed.
Thnank you.

Had a quick search and couldn't see any obvious answer to this...
Aware of the ability to disable Touchflo 3D and have the WM6.1 interface on the frontend, I'm wondering whether the same will work with 6.5. Will TouchFlo 3D2 be compatiable with 6.5?
I understand that 6.5 may negate the need for Touchflo3D itself, but I'd quite like the flexibility to switch back to the interface I partly chose the Diamond2 for.
Thanks!
yes u can switch back and forth
I beleive we will have to see what HTC will do. Maybe an all new interface. Till the phones start shipping with 6.5 u really cant say. In the end though its up to the cooks to add TF3D to a 6.5 coocked Rom. Somebody correct me if im wrong.

HTC must be holding back on something since they provided no config options in the initial Topaz 6.1 TF3D release. Maybe they thought it was a waste of time because people will give up on TF3D once 6.5 is out?
Maybe they wanted to focus on the 6.5 integrated TF3D solution?
HI
Im a noob and im getting the blackstone, and want the "best" version of WM 6.5 and also be able to chose back to touchflo 3D menu. Which rom should i download and flash to use? Seriously a noob.
Thank you.
The best thing to do is try all of WM 6.5 here... All of our chef here is great! It's up to your taste...
Im using Miri's WM 6.5 and it's stable and fast. You can also try Energys 6.5 if you want fast with some very nice eye candy...
It's all up to you. Enjoy flashing and read Crackwhore's Guide about flashing so you won't get any problems.
Cheers,
Jaypeev_9
Thanks for fast reply!
Will i be able to chose back and forth to the regular touch flo 3D menu with boths of those? I dont really understand, does the touch flo menu disappear on some if i update to WM 6.5?
And also do you recomend a HSPL?
Thanks.
for example.
Miri did 3 versions (maybe 4 now?) Xtralight (wm6.5 alone), Standard (6.5 with some manila stuff) and premium (full manila +wm6.5) i personally use xtralight as its pretty much bare, allowing to add the stuff YOU want.
after goign to 6.5 i rarely get a ROM with manila in as i have become to hate it!
Its all down to preference i flashed alot of different roms before staying with miri so just try! but as he said ^^ please rea the guide first and as always backep your data!

TouchFlo 3D is just a program installed normally by HTC on these devices. WM6.5 can exist with or without TouchFlo 3D (Manila). You may want to read first in the specific ROM description if it includes Manila or not. If you want to still be able to use Manila, chose one that includes it. Then, you can easily avtivate it by going to Start/Settings/Today/Items, and there deactivate Titanium and activa TouchFLo.
Yes, you will want to use HSPL or USPL. Its not recommended, its mandatory. Read more about this, it will help you for the future, since the story goes the same for all HTC devices.
Thank you!
Closed, just to insure the what is the best rom chit chat does not start
I know I'm gonna get slammed for even posting this but I'm hoping someone can make a recommendation for me. I've been using rom's from xda-developers for years on various devices and now have a Tilt 2. I guess I'm old fashioned because I prefer the WM5 style today screen (screenshot below) and don't like Sense, Manila, or even the default WM6.5 today screen. I'd love to use the Tilt2 roms but am not seeing any that don't include either of those.
Can somebody please recommend a solid and current rom that uses the WM5 style today screen?
Thanks very much...
Greg
just go into today > items and disable windows default on Titanium or disable toughflo on Manilla builds, you'll be left with the original windows 6.1 today screen which is pretty close to that of WM5.
Then you can install all of those plugin that you had there to make it look identical again.

I can do that but was more looking for a rom that didn't have them there to begin with because they may get loaded even though I'm not showing them on the today screen. That's a lot of overhead if they are loaded. No big deal if I'm wrong, I can certainly disable them that way.
Thanks for the advice...

Are you recommending the Firestorm ROM or one version of it?
You probably can cook your own from the official ROMs. Da_G gives out ROMs without manila, but it does have titanium in it.
I'm by no means an expert, but I would guess that titanium would be more difficult to remove from an OS build, as it comes as part of WinMo. Manila/Sense comes from HTC, so it is probably easier to break off from the base OS. I'm betting that if you disable Titanium as mentioned above, you'll remove whatever overhead there is.
Also, as mentioned above, Da_G's ROM is sans manila... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=577594 ... it appears to be made specifically for the Tilt 2, judging by the title of the thread.
Hi All,
I too am looking you for this, I can assure you I've flashed almost every rom out there... Da_G is indeed a clean one but I hate the new builds with the big buttons at the bottom...
@ Agent_47, is the rom you propose has this as well I suppose...
;(
hi everybody,that's my first thread here,i'm from italy,my blackstone has a cooked rom "lucapicci nextgen 1.7.2 with wm6.1
i don't like any graphic user interface,after i tried everything,manila,spb mobile shell,pointui....i prefer to use the simply,light,windows without interface.
so,
i wanna try a rom based on wm 6.5 or 6.5.1 but i can't find a picture of the today without graphin interface.
can u help me?
thanx!
i wanted to ask the same thing...
is there an original WM 6.5.1
yay naked is teh pr0n!!11
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=493911
premium without manila should suit your needs
thanks man,but i can't find any screenshot....
bye!
Use google ? I think there are more than enough 6.5 screenshots arround
Why don't you just disable Sense then?
i've tried to lookin for with google,i found a lot of pics,but i dont know how is the wm6.5 without interface...
maybe i have to choose a rom and flash the blackstone.....
They all have the basic windows interface you just need to disable the HTC one and enable the windows default, as mentioned above there are a million screenshots online if you use a search engine like google.
from any 6.5 rom...
click start/settings/today
you'll then be presented with the theme selection page, at the bottom are two tabs "appearance" and "items"
click the "items" tab
you'll then see a tickbox list
DESELECT "HTC Sense"
SELECT "Windows Default"
press the tick in the top right hand corner
press the home button.
That's how windows 6.5 looks.
If you want you can also change the themes from the "appearance" tab you were at earlier, most roms come with 3 or 4 6.5 themes as well as the htc and windows default versions.

you are wrong.
HTC stuff works under, like oversized keyboard for grannies, very bad contact manager if you really use it, calendar appointment manager (which allows you only to snooze for 5mins), album which leaves goo in every folder it visited, and other not so easily detected stuff.
Disabling these flaws is not possible. Only by removing these brakes from the rom you get normally looking and behaving device.
BTW. there's many good up-to-date national ROMs without htc stuff by local chefs, they're just not WWE
take it easy with Ervius Kitchen give it a try and 2 evenings... you can cook perfect rom according to your choice... better than asking for any made Me did 23089 with only a basic apps I need, some wizards from htc which are not actually so bad (e.g. connection settings which automatically fulfill gprs, the htc keyboard and phone canvas). Man., contacts, etc. removed )
The only very bad thing with Ervius Kitchen by Sparkienl is the dshow driver, which has to be downloaded separately while the original new version is a piece of sh*t... follow the forum and you will see the solution.
If you are interested, I can upload you somewhere my rom... But I recommend you Sparkienl kitchen in this forum and building your own - really the fastest way, much more faster than asking still for improvements anybody.
sure you can upload your ROM somewhere
Or you can share with us the package selections (package.txt or *.erv) you selected.
hi guys, I have small question. cuz here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8ZL2-QEFoM&feature=player_embedded
we can see, from 4:09 till 4:27 this white, ugly, windows 95-like icons and background with old looking scroll. I dont want to keep this in my xperia, so I searched for some cool themes and found some, but one person from different forum told me that when I change ROM I will loose this:
http://www.gearcrave.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/sony-ericsson-xperia-x1.jpg
on the left side. I mean those small windows that give me overview to a lot of features in phone. So I ask you - is it possible to keep this built-in usefull and cool looking feature , and change view of these silly icons and white background to sth more modern?
thanks in advance, I appreaciate all helpful answers
bump, I will be more than insanely happy if sb could help me.
Yes, read the X1 ROM forum, almost all custom ROMs have Panel Manager. Look for a 6.5 ROM.
okay man <getting crazy> thank you so much!!
and is it possible to update WM from 6.1 to 6.5? I noticed that X1 sometimes has 6.1 and sometimes 6.5 (dunno what it depends on) and I know that on 6.5 there is more themes and you know.. just want to know

Officially X1 runs WM 6.1.
X2 will have 6.5.
You can have 6.5 only as custom ROM available at XDA.

It's possible to have WinMo 6.5 on your X1.
First, you have to HardSPL your X1.
The link for instructions is here.
Second, you need to find a Custom ROM for your phone. Under the Xperia X1 ROM Development section of the forum, there are threads made by other users that have Custom ROMs they build that run on Windows Mobile 6.5.
When you find a ROM that suits your needs, extract the .nbh file to a FAT32 formatted MicroSD card (probably the best way to flash a custom ROM). Make sure the full name is "Kovsimg.nbh". Also. make sure any information you need off the phone is backed up. A good WinMo backup application is PIM Backup.
After you have backed up all files, and copied Kovsimg.nbh to a formatted FAT32 MicroSD card, turn off the phone, and make sure the battery is atleast 50% full. Hold the volume down rocker while pressing power, and until you see a 4-colour screen show up, don't let go.
If the phone detects the .nbh file, the screen will go grey and ask you to either press power to continue, or the select button to cancel.
Click the power button, give it a minute or two, and congrats.
