Old news ! Not nice to start a " new " thread for something we had not expected anyway.
Yeah, I know its old news. But even so, a large amount of people do not know this, so its still worth posting.
Do you realize what board you're on? Don't generalize, you have been left behind, not me. I've been running WM6.1 on my Tilt since the winter when it first leaked and have been running the lasted build since Monday.

Everyone here knows this and it is not worth posting as you will find out.
No, I have browsed through some threads and it seemed that a decent amount of people had not realized that only the HTC-Branded devices had recieved the update.
People who read stuff already knew for like a month that the update would probably be only for HTC branded devices, I guess you don't.
Anyways, it doesn't mean there won't be official updates for you, just that your company, whichever it is, will have to customize things first before releasing a rom, especially adding all their bloatware.
Oh, and about accelerated graphics, please, noone got them, it's not that you're a special target.
I know that there were some "fixes" but no drivers, and it has been said that ATT users will get it, just when they get ready to release it after adding all their crap.

I am here to help , what was the question ? I just heard a rant that the mods have said ( continually ) is not appropriate for these forums. If you read the official announcement from HTC when they announced the TYtN upgrade, they said that they had no plans to release an upgrade fer the Tilt in the near future. Why is this rant important to this forum?
What are you talking about denco? This is not even a rant, it is a statement. I did not mean for it to be a rant and I did not mean for people to mistake it as one. I merely meant to inform people that only the branded HTC devices got the update. It appeared as though alot of people had not realized this, or, at least enough for me to post. I can even show you some quotes if you need me too.
Denco, please look up the definition of 'rant'.
htc rom
Just talked to HTC. There is no 6.1 rom from them for the HTC phones (mine is the TYTN II) available anywhere on the globe.

I am not trying to entice the argument here, but i will add couple of things:
a) Most of the "regular" members here at xda already know that the tilt or any other branded version of the tytnII will not be getting the updates. (emphasis on regular).
b) none of the xda members really care about official updates as we have very gifted and talented chefs here that can port roms for us (and we are truly greatful for that) and seeing that the only diffrence between the TytnII and tilt is the front camera that shouldn't be a big deal.
c) drivers (which there aren't none) can also be ported. There are chefs already working on porting the diamond drivers over to tilt which runs vga.
Having said that i would like to thank you for the info ... but unfortunately its old news and no one likes repeatedly hearing old news.

Did you try hitting the download link at the bottom of this link -

Welcome to the ROM update for the AT&T Tilt. Please review the following prior to downloading and installing the latest ROM update (version 1.62.502.0) on your device.

I very nearly downloaded this one by mistake. I registered with htc but my phone S/N is not a real HTC device and was still logged in, but I managed to (mistakenly) download the file from that link without much issue.
That help?
That's still only 6.0..

I don't know who you spoke with but they were wrong; I just ran the HTC RUU (Rom Upgrade Utility) from the HTC e-club web site and the splash screen clearly states Windows Mobile 6.1. I have an HTC TYTN II and it works great.

The thing that puzzles me about this is the way the AT&T Tilt gets singled out as if it's special - in reality it's just one dozens of rebranded Kaisers around the globe, none of which have had an official update. I have a "Vodafone V1615", am I whining about where to download a Vodafone update for my Vodafone V1615? No, of course not, with the help of this forum it's been running the original HTC rom since October, and upgraded to the HTC 6.1 update a couple of days ago (before it was released by HTC in fact). So what's the problem?
The irony is the AT&T Tilt is (I believe) the only variant to have it's own section of the HTC website, and to actually have already had a rom upgrade back in February, albeit 6.0 only. Where are all the complaints about that from owners of the V1615, or the T-Mobile Vario 3, or the Orange Tytn II, or O2 XDA Stellar, or the "3" Tytn II, etc etc..?
Are you happy from your PPC ... please say YES or NO and what ppc do you currently use???
My answer is NO xda stealth
Yes.
AT&T Tilt.
but i could be MUCH happier with it if there were video drivers.
Been mostly happy with my Hermes.
Will get a Raphael/Touch Pro just as soon as my operator gets it.
been very happy with my Vogue.
HTC Wizard (T-mo branded) and i am very happy. if only it had 3g. Used to have an ATT Tilt (usa kaiser) and that was a big fat NO!
My Tilt is awesome with XDA Live 2.0.
thought I had finally reached awsome status with my Tilt until I just read Kareem's reply (must explore xda Live now)
happy with sprint mogul all do to this website
yes, XDA Flame
but i also have a wizard and im also happy with that one
YES
HTC TyTN II.
HTC Universal
T-Mobile mda Vario
happy with them :3
Yes - 8525 (with the help of XDA-Developers)
My wife is also pretty happy with her 8125
happiness is distraction
in it's many forms like love or new hardware
or kids or other "hobbies"
anybody left alone for too long with their own thoughts
will get bord, lonely and unhappy
find whatever distract you and keep at it
as long as it dont harm other people
It may be difficult to define happiness but may be ,if we donot feel unhappy , then we are happy
really happy with my TYTN 2...

Damnit that's deep...
I'm happy with my Prophet...
i am somewhat happy, but ill type it....im want a rom that will blow my mind, ive tried various roms and there isnt, in my opinion, that big of a difference, when i boot my phone, i wanna be holy sh!+ this rom is amazing but it may be inpart to the crappy video drivers but we will see.
I'm too happy with my little Touch....
Happy with my Sprint Touch with WM6.1 and GPS working. Looking forward to seeing the Raphael as I miss the keyboard from my Sprint Mogul, but don't miss the bulk.
No
I'm currently am not happy with my AT&T Tilt now, because all these new HTC phones are coming out or is already out that I want, and it is making my phone look bad and old. I can't wait until AT&T recieves a updated version for the Tilt........ uuuummmm maybe the Diamond Pro........ooopps sorry I started day dreaming again.

my guess is he eats microSDHC cards for breakfast...
Just an educated guess tho
I think itje do more job in one week, than all microsoft team (who creates windows mobile) in one month
A big respect for him.
LOL if I remember seeing correctly, itje had to take the rom down because of MS copyright or just complaints...Still looking forward to it tho man
No offence, but I'd rather Itje perfected Touch-IT Landscape v4.0 first.
Once that's been tweaked to his satisfaction, and he's had time to catch up with his life, THEN it may be worth asking him if he'll do a ROM based on WM6.5. Personally, I think I'll be happier with a streamlined TouchFlo3D interface than the honeycomb and today screen WM6.5 uses.
I am NOT working on a release to any 6.5 at this rom at the moment.
My only priority now is v4...
I did cook it for personal review, but it is still not worth the effort on posting it.
I will neither respond to any PM or email from ppl wanting to test it.
itje....close this post. And the users of this forum will not confuse...

so u saying it makes not sence to try it yet?
That's exactly what he's saying.
Right now, everyone is using unofficial beta releases of WM6.5 to try it out and it isn't exactly ready for everyday use YET. That's also why MS has been asking XDA-Dev to close threads relating to WM6.5 ROMs.
If you hold fire for a few months, you may find that HTC and other manufacturers may update their phone's ROMs towards the end of the year.

The rom of 6.5 for the Blackstone is very stable and fast for everyday use
Hi,
I was looking for this topic on google, and later on Xda forum but I found nothing. From many years I was working with Windows Mobile, and now my friend asked me to instal Windows on his Htc Dream and I was totaly schocked, when I realise that nobody wanted to change Android to Windows Mobile.
Is there any way to do it? Or can you give me any links to [ROM] Windows Mobile 6.1/6.5 for Htc Dream
Thanks for help!
use the search function its been asked before, as far as i remember, no one cares to make a port because why put a bad OS on a phone with a good OS?
It might be possible to port it from the Leo(Not out yet) since it has a capacitive screen. But we would still have to fix the rom to fit the screen size and the drivers and such so it might not even come.
I am glad someone else has posted this, last week i was looking for some info on this and noticed all of the WinMo threads were closed.
I am hoping that WinMo makes it to the G1, i plan on buying a Cliq when they are released so the G1 is going to be a play/spare phone and it would be cool to play around with Winmo 6.5 and whatnot. I know a lot of people said WinMo sucks, but on decent hardware like the G1 it should be better.
Also as i was looking around dba.net i noticed a lot of the new HTC WinMo phones have the same chipset, CPU and whatnot. Hopefully this will make porting it a lot easier for some cooks and we will see WinMo on the Dream hardware sometime in the near future =)
While we're at it why don't we put the iphone os on the G1 too.
Maybe not iPhone software, I think Symbian S60 is better
But let's back, is there anyone on the earth who has already cooked this rom or it's only hoping that after a lot of time there will be a person, who will answer on our requests and make rom for g1??

Well I know you couldn't tell but I was being sarcastic with the iphone os. And people got the G1 to have android and not windows mobile. I doubt anyone will ever build a windows mobile rom for the g1. So don't hold your breath.

It would be too hard anyway. I doubt the experienced devs for android are gonna spend time rewritting the drivers and going all out of their way for winmo. They would probably much rather work on making their android roms better

OK, but when they pass case that Android isn't the best OS they could have, they want to change it for another OS, exactly for Windows Mobile. And now they havn't any possibility to do it.
Maybe for some of them Android is the BEST OS, but not for all.
So topic has ended. Ok, I see that all of you affirm Android is the best thing which was made for this smartphone.
But I will be thankful, when someone cooks Windows Rom for G1.
the g1 is only one of the army of android phones .. the statements you made is said by members who have not really fully experienced android , I loved w_mobile over the iphone , but then android came along , so i filed for a divorce ,, now I fully support android .,..,
android= most complete, refined mobile os. period. and i have an iphone too. it sucks. least flexible mobile os ever. even with jailbreak
only thing good about it is that there's a crapload of fart apps.
I wouldn't say that Android is complete..... there are still a lot of things to be implemented.
However, Android is handsdown the best MobileOS thanks to the 3rd party community
So thee first time i found Xda i was looking for G1 hacks on google and i found this awsome website! How did you find it?

There is already a thread with same topic but could not found it
I came here 1st time in 2006 looking for a new OS for my beloved Universal and since that time I am here living amongst XDA servers
Was looking for some apps for my Omnia I900 when i forst got it, amongst using this and modaco, I managed to flash winmo 6.5. I then moved onto HTC Touch Elf as I wanted a winmo phone but only had a symbian afterwards, and then got my Hero.
Best Phone Site Ever.
(And off topic kicks ass...)
Looking up hacks for my old old old HTC Wizard. My first touch screen smart phone.
BTW, I just realized I forgot to add it to my retired list.
I didn't find XDA. XDA found me.
I knew about it from a friend who never used it (said he heard about some X website for HTC).
A random guy saw me walking down the street with my tytn, commented on my super new at the time phone and asked what ROM i was running. He showed me xda on the spot and the rest is history lol.

I try to just go throug life and let things happen. It's so much more relax to live like that. So, I try not to DO nothing, and embrace what comes around.
In that sense, I did not find XDA, but it came to me along with my first PDA, a Sanyo Cassiopeia (if I remember correctly), that a friend sold me second hand.
So, it's really the same story as many of the other posters, but my point of view is different.
In 2008, I landed my sweaty hands on a htc tytn 2 (unbranded one), so after a few months. I heard of a wm 6.5 and was I want it on my device also. After, a google search It bought out (drum roll) XDA_Developers.com
Had an SPV c550 and was having problems with it this must be 2006-2007 something like that and got thrown to XDA via link, then got a Magician and didn't join up untill got the Excailbur.
I remember it was 2007, I was curious to know how to tweak my dash...so I found xda just googling. I was 1 year just checking the site just following threads (not sign in as a member). Started looking around and flashed my first rom...stayed cool for a while when I realized afterwards there was another tweak that can looked good in my dash (NGRZ's energy rom for the excalibur) I flashed and brick my first dash .
So, in Nov 2008 I became a member...and yes my first thread was "help!!!! I bricked my dashed...please help me!!!......(not ashamed at all)
After that....a lot of reading, tweaking and bricking. One major thing also that sometime we don't mention beside phones it's the great people around here and friends that probably I will not meet during my life, but this site gave the opportunity to know them and share good momments everyday with them .
That is a touching story! One of the best I've heard
