Does someone knows if there is a WM 6.1 ROM for the Wings?
I see several devices that already work with WM 6.1 but I can't find one for the Wings.

I have been wanting to make one. But I cant seem to find a Windows Mobile 6.1 standard version.. Only the Pro for touch screens...
If I can find a standard ROM, what more do I need to create a cooked ROM?

You would need a kichen to cook it.. Kaiser kitchen works.
Hard to tell if you need anything else without alittle try and fail.
But an OS would help a lot.. I tried flashing a Pro version to my wings..
Did not work out well
I'll keep an eye open for the standard version.
it seems that the Motorola Q9 is already equiped with 6.1 standard (possibility to rip the rom?)

Yes, it is possible. But it would come with alot of Motorola SW included, and no HTC SW... So that would take some work I guess..
mmmmm.. first we have to find a person who has such a phone
BTW what is all the buzz for? What are new features/improvements compared to WM6?
It was told that there is more free ram at boot. And hopefuly some minor bug fixes
i really want 6.1
and the demand for a cooked rom is high!!

I think we are all waiting to someone who will make it. To be honest - original ROM is not a masterpiece. My previous device was HTC TyTN and there are many available ROMs for this dev. We have to hope there will appear someone like dutty (IMO best ROM creator for TyTN). Meanwhile we can just sit and cry for him/her
I really want it too.
And i join the queue for request a cooked version of WM6 (maybe one closer to a Pro WM6)

I hardly doubt WM6 Pro could be used as a base. Either it is impossible (most probable) or work on adoption to Standard would be too hard.
Uhmmm...
so u think will not be possible upgrade the S730 to a Pro version??

Yes, I do. In my opinion differences of the architecture of whole OS will be big. And altough I'm really interested in WM generally I didn't hear about any successful attempt of porting from PPC -> Smartphone.
If microsoft officially released WM6.1 standard it should not be so hard to find/rip it? right?
IMO they should just make it available to buy just like any other version of Windows!

Perhaps. In-house geeks always find a way
Hi Guys,
I recently bought a HTC S730 with Windows Mobile 6 standard - I am slightly disappointed with this userfriendlyness of this software (you have to tap/click to many times to get what you want). I have read a lot of posts in these forums, but can not seem to find a way to change.
I am looking for is some newbie step by step guide explaining in detail how I should flash with new modded software... I am an experienced C# developer, so technical things shouldn't be a problem
I have radio version: 25.62.30.03H_1.58.17.02
Hoping for some help.
as to today, there is no new ROM available for the Wings.
but an official flash is easy as.... just run an exe file, the phone reboots, you wait for 10 mins and voila! done.
Not official roms are a bit trickier...
It's a simple question, i've seen some panels of the X2 and they are really impressive... i just wanted to know if X1 users will be available to get or download those x2 panels.
thank you very much !!!
when the X2 is released, i hope the panels are works on my X1^^
a more imprortant question is if they care enough to bother with. most of the rom cookers didnt bother with the first panels. and im sure it will be ported
i hope they keep in mind x1 after starting to sell x2..

6.5 update dude!!!!
At the very least it seems that the X2 ROM will be flashable on the X1. The hardware is almost identical, so it should be an easy transition. Additionally, I imagine that many of the panels available on the X2 will work as is on a non-6.5 X1. The only ones that wouldn't are those that are making some 6.5-specific system calls.

is there any way?
i mean OFFICIAL way, and not a cooked ROM, because i dont like them (some bugs etc.)
i'd like to have this winmo 6.5 official, it looks that it goes at more speed then winmo 6.1 but i want an official one !

its not official until SE releases it. maybe SE is palying arrounf with the 6.5 update but that doesnt mean they goign to release it.
OT: im pretty sure they will work on the X1 too. resolution is the same, CPU is the same ... basicly everything is the same except the camera and the accelerometer.

i agree just because there is a beta leak 6.5 rom does not mean it will be released as we all found out with the r3 panel manager and growing panel etc.
the only thing that may not work panel wise is the tile panel as it may be using good x2 drivers which offically the x1 will probably not get if it does not get the r4 update (i hope it does).
many unofficial roms for htc devices comes from leaked
"official" test roms so it could very well be that se will never release wm6.5 for x1

I have no doubt SE won`t support: SE is arrogant regarding customers with predecessor-models. It`s going to be like the P-series: upgade (BUY!) the sucessor or you won`t get the candy!
I agree .. all that new panel manager and panels, and camera .. all seems now to be intended for X2. So IMHO we already have some X2 panels on X1.
c'mon guys, look at the forum you're on right now. i gaurantee someone here will port all the x2 panels for the x1.
"We picked up on a couple of rumours from yesterday that an official X1 Windows Mobile 6.5 rom had surfaced on XDA developers. Just wanted to be clear that this isn’t true.
There is no official X1 6.5 rom and it’s not in the X1’s product roadmap. There are hackers out there who can do pretty much anything, but unless you’re getting it from the SE update service it isn’t an official Sony Ericsson product."

Wait and see...
But even if they work on it, they will try to keep it secret as long as possible
But if they keep us waiting and it never does come.....
SE dont want to advertise that 6.5 is coming to x1 because they want people to get the x2 with 6.5 - after the x2 has been out for a while then they might release a 6.5 update to x1 i guess
hm... smells fishy. I wonder if Itje cares to comment on this.
No love for the X1 -- anyway...it looks like SE is ditching WM platform...
http://mobilitysite.com/2009/09/will-the-xperia-x2-be-the-last-winmo-device-from-sony-ericsson/
I was skeptical to begin with when itje announced his new ROM was being based on an official Xperia 6.5 leak.
Could be an X2 beta ROM.
Will it be possible to purchase 6.5 direct from MS and install on X1?
jhendra they said the same thing as well about the x1 sooooo...
"Will it be possible to purchase 6.5 direct from MS and install on X1?"
no ms never sold wm or windows CE to end users as it's without any drivers
so end users would never be able to make it work unless they had the platform builder
and all the drivers 100% matching the device they owned

It's a rumour by Eldar posted on mobile-review forum.
So, you can also easily forget it too.
Hard to believe for me.
see why u gotta give apple the kudos...apple releases updates to the iphone regardless which version iphone it is, people still buy the most recent
see why i wont buy the x2, SE screwed us all over with the x1, who said they wont do it again

Well, I don't feel sooooo screwed...
My phone works fine, I'm not dying for upgr.
But anyway - we'll see when WM6.5 is out,
too early to speak.
well i feel screwed, they managed to give the x2 drivers for a smooth panel interface and look at us idiots with a choppy panel manager, btw did i say the hardware is the same?
if they dont update our x1, u bet i wont be buying another SE device, i should have learned my lesson from the P series
Actually nobody said that there is an official X1-ROM with WM6.5 avaliable until now, itje didn't as well...
Itje just announced that he's got an official X1-WM6.5-kernel and some new OEM drivers. That makes the chance for a real official WM6.5-ROM via SEUS for X1 much more likely then before, we think.
as much as we all would love 6.5 upgrade, i think the most important upgrade the x1 could get is a smoother panel interface and new panels, even if its on wm 6.1
why is it that korea got spb mobile shell 3 and xtrakt?
what is so special about the korean xperia market than everyone else in the world?
i wont be surprised either if korea got the update we are looking for either lol
anyway, u have to admit, SE support is very very poor...i will wait and see what the next few months will bring...i dont intend to buy a new device just for a service pack upgrade which wm 6.5 really should be...
as i said, we dont have to get the 6.5, but damn, fix our damn 6.1 panel interface and give us more panels
if they dont upgrade the x1 to 6.5 then theres no way i am getting a x2 because it just shows how poor their after sale support is...
who needs official support anyway? we've got xda. Duh!

same unfourtunatley - custom roms are only good for me for seeing what should be released officially one day
all 6.5 roms have problems
I'd like to get the 6.5 upgrade to utilize Marketplace.
I know it's been stated it will support 6.1 also but let's face it, it's a developer based app stream and I don't imagine we'll see too many developers using 6.1 anymore.
me too i tried and ended back with seus rom
So, now 6.5 is officially released, when are we going to get a proper base 6.5 ROM for our Jades? Come on, there's got to be a genius out there.
I guess all the chefs are waiting for an official HTC 6.5 final ROM dump. I mean that's what i would do, if i were a chef.
Really excited about it.Hope something will come up soon.
When is HTC likely to release an official 6.5 rom for this device?

to my knowledge not now we need to wait for one of ur cooks to use one of the released Roms and cook a good bug free one for us

I asked HTC support a few weeks ago and they replied to me that they won't release a official 6.5 ROM for the Touch 3G. I guess they prefer to sell the Touch2 instead.

Apparently, the Touch 2 will be quite cheap in SEAsia, somewhere between the Opal and Jade. This with increased memory but same processor and same camera as Jade.
yeah i looked at a touch2 ...however the battery is only 1000amh....compared to our Touch 3G's 1100amh
Asked in HTC
I too asked in HTC support.
They told it would take some time for them to release the upgrade for our wonderful jade.
They told to visit HTC site regularly to know about the release.
Waiting for the upgrade.

u nailed it buddy im 100% with u but then we have great cooks so im sure well get a good clean bug free ROM soon

It's hard to figure out HTC's marketing strategy. They introduce a newer version of a product with the same or sometimes inferior features. Take the Touch cruise 2, for instance. The older one had a better camera. The screen of the Opal is lowered and that makes it hard to reach the close button. As for the official upgrade, the word out is it will only be for the diamond 2 and touch pro 2. But when it comes to hotfixes, jade comes in first with practically none= no major issues to fix.
I too have asked HTC support about WM6.5 and have gotten the same answer - no WM6.5 for the Jade. But i asked them some 3 weeks ago, or more. Things may have changed in the mean time.

I thought 21854 is the official release. My future release features 21859 so is a bit newer than the official . I solved a problem it had with office, my mistake after all. So the in the new megade wm 6.5 will have as much bugs as the official release. (maybe a bit less/more)
If u look at the specs of the Touch2, it's very clear it's just an upgrade on Jade. Apart from the improbable stuff like RAM and ROM. the rest are nearly a match. some of the features that jade lacks, just a couple of registry tweaks and shortcut assigned keys..and you're on the GO! Save $$$...and a prettier phone. LOL

More than a long shot I would say, since allowing Jade owners to update 6.5 would mean they would not have an incentive to upgrade to Touch 2. Phones like ours requires a lot of thought at the beginning and more user friendly phones like Nokia are hard to beat. Believe me, I've tried to convert quite a few people!

NO....but personally in my opinion why do you need an official when there is soooo much newer ROM in this forum?? most roms here are much newer than official ROM anyway.
true, just thought to try the official if there was before the cooked rom due to option/settings set by the chef that i may not want on a cooked rom

No official 6.5 ROM on T8282.
Mean no disrespect, newer doesn't always mean better. Especially when the hand-held device used on daily, real time based events.
It really sucks when you are checking up your schedule, the mobile phone went froze, with someone waiting your answers.
IMHO, stability, quick response are much more important than newer version. MS please give us one...8(

Well that's definitely TRUE! But you know that is why normally you should wait for other people to comment before installing them. You will find out whether they are seriously bug or rock stable. I dont know which ones you are using? but I have been using the latest Energy 23554 with GTX theme, and never had a single problem (crash or restart). In fact the GTX version look awesome! You need to remember most of the ROMs here are built from Non-official ROM or betas...so dont expect to be perfect!

Actually most of the Blackstone owners have been hoping for a free upgrade, including myself. Unfortunately I think HTC dont like that idea, maybe because it will affect the sales of their newer HTC Leo. But anyway...i dont really care now...since we have this great forum anyway...
okay i'll give energy 23557 a try and see how it goes
Really no point on upgrading. HTC is bussy creating other phones (mainly Android since WM is dead).
Can someone provide a single thing that we gain with WM 6.5?
I mean the OS itself, not a ROM based on WM 6.5 that comes with updated manilla, Opera, Office etc,. You can install any app on AM 6.1 too.
WM 6.1 uses less RAM, leaving more for the apps (on 6.5 I start with 50% used and after a while even after closing all apps, 65% used). And the start menu has a MRU app list that makes very fast to switch from one app (open or not) to another. I still have to see how WM 6.5 is better in any aspect.
