Hello,
Can anyone please suggest me a rom which is based on the official windows 6.5?
I looked at the couple of rom;s , but am not sure, if it is based on test packages or the official 6.5 package.
Thanks.
There is no official 6.5 rom for the HD, just pick one of the many available cooked ones and try, if you don't like it you can always go back to the stock one
I would suggest Miri's V29. (His test rom is labeled "test")
hey buddy,
thanks for replying.
i am aware that there is no official w6.5 for blackstone.
what i meant was, rom based on the recently released w6.5 for other htc phones.
kwbr is about to release a topix rom using topaz official update
some guy in this vedio claming windows 6.5 official version of hd .........

thanks.
that's gr8 news.
i was waiting for a cooked rom based on offical w6.5 package.
have been avoiding flashing 6.5 roms as they are based test packages.
Well this is the first time i cook room or research about rom cooking for my diamond.
I've been trying to port WM6.5 build 28205 and 28014 but the thing is PocketIE doesnt work, thus many program relates to PIE Core dont work, too.
I read some posts on here and I think that may be Native Kernel is still 6.1 NK, so that the PIE doesnt work. And then i tried to dig in many ROMs of OMJ, Pegasus, etc. build 28014 and they'r not 6.5 NK, but 6.1 NK. And the PIE doesn't work, too.
So is there any solutions about this, either porting 6.5 NK XIP for CDMA Diamond (while GSM Diamond has been ported successfully) or make PIE works with 6.1 NK
Any questions concern about this, please reply. Thanks for your time reading my question.
recmod browsing!!!!!!!!

Hi all,
it sounds like if you are not recmodding the browsers folders? are you? you are suppose to recmod the browsing folders if you are not using a native 6.5 Kernel. not Dpi neither language folders but core files folder for the browsing.
you can use 6850's 6.5 nk
I just flashed WinMo 6.5 to my opal, but it has lots of bugs. Is there a way I can reflash WinMo 6.1 to my opal? The 6.5 version that I flashed is this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=606750. Thanks for any help, and also for reading this.
Just realized that I asked kinda a silly question. WinMo 6.5 is buggy, full of useless (according to me) stuff and very heavy (not lite). I've found the links to WinMo 6.1 but damn Rapidshare.
Was it that bad? Maybe you chose an old ROM. Anyway I guess I'll stick for a while like you with the original 6.1 till we get a stable 6.5 release
6.5 is not stable and lite
I agree guys, i have tried 3 versions of 6.5 ROMs cooked by different moderators of this site but all of them have some bugs, the battery life is reduced to 5 hours only. I am need of an original Viva 6.1 pro ROM, please help.... Right now i am having 6.1 ROM but that too has some bugs.... Thanx for any help in advance.... Till then, we have to wait for a Stable 6.5 pro ROM.....
Searching everywhere i could not find a single thread dedicated for
blackstone windows mobile 6.1 ROMS
in different threads around i found out that a lot of people still prefer 6.1 versions of blackstone roms for its speed and reliability and I did try several ROMs for different cookers using 6.5 and 6.1 and i have to admit that microsoft windows mobile 6.5 is a great disappointment for a lot of people including myself ... its not the cookers its that windows mobile OS 6.5 sucks ...
therefore i have decided to create this thread to be the place to find the latest 6.1 ROM for our beloved blackstone and i hope we can find new ones here ... cookers stopped developing 6.1 for months now they say it is becoming something of the past and 6.5 is getting more and more builds everyday and trying each one requires flashing several times and it takes time so there is no more time for cooking 6.1 ROMs 6.1 that our blackstone was designed for ! and runs it so smoothly and faster than any ROM around ... looking at the benchmark you will find the first 20 to 25 fastest ROMs are running 6.1 !!
the latest 6.1 ROM i found is Topix 3.1.2 Oct.28.2009 not even in a thread of its own to separate it from 6.5 discussions it is a perfect ROM but I would love to run a 6.1 from NRG or Miri created in 2010 !
+1 support.specialy l26 ultimate v4 rom maybe with 6.1..

I did but i prefer Topix ... it is more stable and facebook doesnt crash manila at all and you do not need to edit registries for it to work
how about Laurentius ROM 3.55? even it's old but seems very promising
Just to remind you that ROMs are on Wiki:

yes i know they are on the wiki but this list of 6.1 roms is much smaller than it should be and the latest of them is old what i am asking for is new 6.1 roms to be added to the list

making a new 6.1 rom for blackstone or asking cookers to keep developing this version of windows mobile for black stone is a "Blackstone ROM development"
thank you
I for one would also be interested in more WM6.1 development.
I got lost with all this 6.5 and Sense stuff, was going to sell the HD is was so slow and annoying, flashed to Topix 6.1 and WOW, I had forgotten how fast the HD was...
Bring on some more 6.1 development PLEASE
topix wm6.1 is the way to go.
alas, if someone release a better (e.g. more preconfigured ) rom, i bet they would get lots of followers simply because the speed of wm6.1 is awesome
can someone posts an (active) link for a 6.1 ROM without Manila? the only i know is the Superlite by Onkolog but the link is dead...and i don't want thousand useless Manila files(over 40mb) on my HD, better MS3 for me...thanks
+1 for more wm6.1 roms, it seems that this is the OS which will bring the best out of this device.

RS Link to Onkologs Latest SuperLite
Really a question for the Chefs.
Guys,
There maybe a few issues with this.
I'm not 100% sure but I don't think MS has released any updated builds of v6.1 (Could be wrong) that our beloved chefs could get their hands on.
Not that I have any cooking skills but I would think that all our chefs have modded their kitchens to deal with v6.5.xx and may not be willing to take, what they may see, as a step back.
This of course is just my humble opinion but I guess the most likely thing to do would be to ask the chefs themselves.

I'm totally with you on that. I never use Manila when MS3 is so nice.
I do appreciate that cookers want to try and fit in the latest and greatest, but it seems to me the latest and greatest is just going to get slower and slower. The HD is great and all, but speedwise it's not much better than the ancient Blue Angel. Heh, thinking that makes me want to see if I still have an old BA lying around and see how IT handles 6.5!
In any case it seems fairly evident that 6.5 has some speed issues compared to 6.1. Now I have no idea personally why that is, whether it's just Manila or the OS itself. Regardless it'd be nice if 6.1 wasn't forgotten all together.

the latest build is 21055 as shown in the screen shot from topix rom 3.1.2 but this Rom has manila 2.1 ... it works fast as nothing else and the manila version without weather animation is very decent but you are asking for a rom without manila
this is one of the reasons I wanted this thread ! we do not even have a clean version of our favorite os with the latest build only manila versions
More 6.1 roms, 6.5 (sense) roms are not made for Blackstone!
ok, sense is looking cool, but why cant some one make 6.1 rom with colors at the tab. and just make it for speed and everyday use. no fancy stuff! FAST FAST FAST!
roms with 6.5 have 50% rom use. 6.1 roms have 32% rom use.. big differens i think..
Hi there!
I was just offered a Trinity, so I came here looking for information on how to update it. I already read a lot of things and managed to install the latest Radio and tried some custom ROMs, no problems whatsoever.
However, I still have some questions I can't find answers for:
1 - Why use a custom ROM? Isn't it possible to use the original WM and then install only what you want?
2 - If it is, where can I find a ROM with the original WM6.1 and 6.5?
3 - If not, what is the least modified ROM I can get with 6.1 and 6.5? Or at least some ROM with only the basics.
4 - Is TouchFlo the same as Manilla? I've seen both words but I don't know the differences.
Thanks in advance!

1. Flashing Custom ROM is faster then installing a whole package like with manila2d.
2. No, trinity only ship with original 6.0 ROM.
3. If you want 6.1 ot 6.5, flash an Ultralite ROM or cook your own. For p3600i 6.1 - try this
p3600i 6.5 try this
If you have the original p3600. Check the Trinity Upgrade Article in the wiki. Remember Lite ROM.
4.TouchFLO is the original that is shipped with the Elf/in
Kaiser etc... Manila is TouchFLO3D and it is bundled with the Diamond and Pro. And Manila2D a slimmed version of TF3D that is used in the Viva and 3G and can be installed in most WM phones.
