Apologies if this has already been asked before but it's tricky to search for stuff relating to "6.5" as it returns no results (and apologies if I'm being stupid and just doing it wrong!!).
I've taken the plunge a couple of nights ago and started trying different 6.5 Roms (haven't flashed my HD before), thanks to the superb flashing for dummies guide.
Problem is that I've now tried to add in SPB3 as it's one of my favourite apps and at least on NRG's rom it wouldn't open at all, and somehow mangled the contacts as well.
Does anyone know of a 6.5 rom where it will work ok?
Thanks & keep up the good work!
Jim
I haved allready used many different ROMS, Dutty, Miri, some Germans, and SPB3 runs on all of them.
Dont have any issues.
Look if the problem is something with your configuration. Do a hard reset and install it again. I dont believe, that WM 6.5 is a reason for the problems.
have a great day.

There is already a thread on SPB3 in Themes, Applications and Software forum.
If you look at the sigs of people a lot are using wm6.5 roms, so it sounds like your configuration or installation is wrong. Try asking in that thread please.

Hi, still trying to decide which ROM to flash, but...
Will the programs originally installed on the device eg. mobile office, remain on the device or will they be removed?
It depends on what the new ROM has in it. Most of the ROMS I've seen have mobile office plus a lot of other great apps.
Also, once you flash, you loose all of your personal files, I always keep them on the SD Card.
Before anyone else may tell this to you...
DON'T DARE TO FLASH YOUR DEVICE!!!!
Reading your doubt, it's clear you haven't read any piece of informations written on this forum and it's clear you'll end up bricking your device.
I'm writing this to you cause as you can see from my posts number I'm a newbie too... but reading-reading and reading again I succeed to flash my 2 htc device whitout the need to ask anything... everything is just explained.
But you need to follow word by word what is written and, let me say that, you havent read a lot, dont you???
BTW, to be more usefull, flashing your device will erase everything (OS included) on it and then install newer versions of originally shipped programs and many other goodies (if you are upgrading, of course... and depending on the ROM you choose). (Extended-ROM is a discussion apart ... again: read&read&read!)

Thanks for your concern.
I must say though, that I am reading everything I come across.
I haven't as of yet decided which ROM I will use, but I'm not stupid. I won't flash until I'm confident I have learned enough to do so, and asking questions helps you learn.
get a list of things which you want in your rom, pick the one which meets most of them or the most important ones.
faria, molski and ppctuning seem to have the best roms. some programs are not yet fully working on wm6 (spb time is one example i use a lot), the (now quite old) 2.3 aku are the fastest roms. then wm6. then aku 3+
faria has a lot of apps in the rom so if you use those, you can save a lot of space for installing other stuff (games etc) which are less commonly used by others.
YMMV. this is just what i have found by trying nearly 20 different roms, i don't use my phone for much so most of the stuff in roms i don't use, i just use the fastest rom, which for me is the ppctuning superrom1.1

Thanks, now I know what I'm looking for I can look in the right places.
Ok first I have read many posts waded through many many long sentences and even googled for other answers. but lets just get straight to the questions...
first the rumor is May11 for 6.5 final. if true what will be the final build number? Others and myself included need to know for all the cooked roms that are out there. I personally love having a ton of roms to try, but I use my phone on a daily bases and I hate to flash and set everything up to to find a newer build of the OS just came out, and everyone cooked new roms.
now for this question, I do not want in any way shape fashion or form to be a better vrs better rom. I simply want a basic no frills latest 6.5 rom without touchflo without other programs, I will pick and choose what I want to put on my phone. QuickGPS and .net 3.5 is ok, but adding all the other stuff that I will never use just takes up space. so I looked and looked for just a basic 6.5 latest build with nothing added and I cannot find it, and no I cannot cook my own do to no experience. So can someone please shed any light on a light rom with the latest 6.5 build and or if the whole may 11th thing is true then should I wait till then for 6.5
thanks for any help, and I'm sure wrapping up some 6.5 questions in one spot will help others get answers to, or even show the fine cooks out there what some others want I love the roms I have tried, but I need my phone so I cannot try all of them and putting out there what I'm looking for may land me help on a rom I missed when perusing the forums.
what is the difference or advantage of changing the rom. we can already change stuff via reg hacks or cab files for icons etc etc ,so as some who new to WM who has never done this ,what are the main adavantages and how do.you flas the rom and what is hardspl
thanks for any help

All your questions have been answered many times.
Please search the forum before posting questions.
The primary benefit is getting updated builds (versions) of Windows Mobile which fix things or speed up stuff. Or get WM6.5 for example.
Then you have the enhanced ability to add/remove things from the ROM, speeding it up or adding more functionality. Say for example if SenseUI ever gets ported to the TP2, it would be significantly more advantageous to cook it into a ROM rather than uninstalling TF3D2 and then installing SenseUI. It meshes things together better.
As for the other things. There are hundreds of threads and the wiki to explain.

Hi, I know this thread won't last long, but...
I really need someone to recommend a rom/s that I can use spb Mobile shell. I tried it with duttys 6.5 r12 rom, but it keeps crashing and dying.
Other people asking for which rom to use have been told that they need to ask what features they want and I want it to be stable and fast and to be compatible with mobile shell.
From reading other threads similar to mine, it seems noone wants to give any specific advise... so if you think this is the wrong place to ask please please tell me where to ask before you close the thread.
PS. all i want is for someone to say, 'try this one or this one', instead of 'you have to try them all and be the judge yourself'. thanks
I have used miris and onkologs roms and had no issues with spbms. My experience have been best with both of them otherwise too....
i have onkolog superlite 6.5 rom with spb mobile shell... fastest thing i ever seen
whats wrong with the standard 1.56 rom or 1.59 rom if you're gonna put sbp mobile shell on it? the standard ones work fine
@pw120 :
It's working, but he wants the faster one for SPB

Haha, loved it
I have tried heaps of roms, Miri and onkolog were fast, i tried numerous dutty ones but they die horrible deaths for some reason. I used the enrgy rom also.
The best one I tried was B!ch0ns rom from http://htc-touch-hd.forumactif.biz/
unfortunately it is a french ROM.
It was the best rom because there is a problem with all of the roms I have tried, where clicking the windows notification for missed calls or sms's does not load the call registry or sms program no matter how many times you click. (not in B!ch0n or onkolog)
The other problem is that when using the Phone application, the contacts soft button does not work.
Somehow B!ch0n found a workaround for that.
Has anyone used a rom that doesn't have the notification problem after installing mobile shell?
I have spb shell version 3.5. I've faced the notifications problem with energy roms. In dutty's R6 rom, when clicking the soft button for missed calls or contacts, it brings up the spb interface for both.
Bottom line, try this rom.
If you want to find a Lite or Superlite Rom, you can test those one :
- Barbone Rom from JonPatcher
- Lite and Superlite Rom from Onkolog
- The UltraLite from EpiphanyNL
@+
Thing is this has been asked before. Theres even a thread on creating a rom specifically for SPB. Unfortunately its a dutch rom, but Im sure you could change the language easily enough.
Bottom line is all roms will work with SPB, but your looking for a hight performance rom. Plenty of roms already listed above by others, best option would be too try a few of these, especially the lite ones and make your own conclusions. Alternatively there is also SPB threads in software forum. Surely one of these guys would be able to advise you as well.
Either way, I see no point for another thread on a topic already covered and asked before.

Okay, I searched and searched and I couldn't find a good solid answer.
I have Windows 6.1 Professional on my Tilt with Shifu's v19 ROM. I want to know if it's possible to flash a Windows 6.5 cooked ROM onto my phone.
Thanks in advance to a post I missed or any help.
daaaaayyummmm duuuuuddddeeee!!!
no need to search! isn't the ENTIRE Kaiser ROM Development section solid enough proof for you that 6.5 is possible and indeed a reality for quite a few Kaiser users on this forum?
Lol. Dude I'm completely new to this. I thought maybe if your phone came with 6.1, you could only use 6.1 ROMs.
I kinda feel dumb now.
huh? ummm the Kaiser was officially/originally released with WM6.0. people were flashing cooked WM6.1 before HTC released their own official WM6.1 update. WM6.5 will never officially come for the Kaiser. your phone already has a cooked ROM, certainly HTC didn't put it on there and you'll find all the ROMs, resources, and tutorials right here by searching to get a cooked WM6.5 on your phone, just like someone originally went through the same process to put the cooked WM6.1 you have on your device right now.
WM6.5 is an EVOLUTION of WM6.1 and so your device sees it no differently. typically, your upgrade paths become limited at best ONLY when a drastically different OS is released (such as the upcoming WM7, which will likely NOT run at all on the Kaiser, or Google's Android, for which you have to jump through quite a few hoops to get it working on your Kaiser).
for suggestions of good WM6.5 ROMs, see my signature. alternatively, it is better to read up about all the ROMs that seem interesting to YOU and try them out until you find one that works well for your purposes.
Ah okay. I put the existing ROM on there btw lol. I taught myself how to flash them, I just didn't know the details. Thanks for that explanation though. It really helped. That definitely broadens my variety lol.
well then you're half way there!
just be sure to read the FAQ of the particular WM6.5 ROM you pick. the flashing procedure for WM6.5 is pretty much the same as what you have taught yourself for WM6.1 except for a few subtle precautionary steps and changes in the sequence of steps (that don't take much time to execute and will likely save you unnecessary trouble down the road). once again, be sure to read the FAQ to understand the steps i'm talking about.
finally, you should also know that it is completely possible to move from WM6.5 to WM6.1 or even back to WM6.0 and then back to WM6.1 or WM6.5 or what have you, just as long as you follow the steps and satisfy the constraints (matching the radio, matching the SPL, etc, etc).
Thanks again. I appreciate everything. You were 100% helpful.

I have TPC's 6.5 on my Tilt. Works great. One tip, no matter who's ROM you choose, use the cleanest version you can. I'm using TPC's Chump version. 6.5 wasn't designed for the smaller memory of the Tilt. A loaded ROM version uses up too much memory and leaves very little for apps. I use SPB Mobile Shell. It wouldn't install with the loaded TPC ROM.
