6.0 rom for rhodium? - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development

Hi,
Kind of a long story but I need to flash a rhodium with windows mobile 6.0
I know it sounds like a stupid thing to do, but it's essentially for testing side by side with another rhodium running 6.1 professional. Is there any way to rollback to 6.0 or to flash it with another model's rom for 6.0? (hermes for example).
It's pretty much so our software development team can test what will work on 6.1 professional and what won't. If there is any other way that anyone can help me with, then that would be good. I just need to get this one running something other than 6.1 professional.
Like I say, I know it sounds like a stupid thing to do, but it's a requirement for testing. I'm planning on flashing with 6.5 when they're done with it anyway.
So yeah, any help would be awesome.
Cheers

No chance of running an OS from another device without a lot of "surgery". Otherwise you WILL brick your Rhodium.
I don't think you're gonna find WM6.0 for the Rhodium as it was shipped with WM6.1.

Hmmm..I thought so. Is there any version of windows mobile between 6.1 and 6.5 that I could use?

Hey Ugly?
You can run 6.1, 6.5 or 6.5.5 those are your choices.
This thread has nothing to do with ROM Development and is therefore closed.
Have a nice day.

New WM 6.1 Professional ROM or Diamond ROM

I wish someone could strip the new WM 6.1 Pro rom and create one for the herald, wing, etc. I am not smart enough to know how to do this, but there are plenty of people here who could accomplish this. Here are the links:
Sprint Mogul ROM:

And Diamond:

DO NOT FLASH THESE TO YOUR HERALD, WING OR P4350 THEY ARE NOT FOR THESE DEVICES!!!

please write down which OS CE version and Build number....
The mogul is NOT a herald device. Anyone thinking of flashing this into their Heralds, do NOT do so.
As far as stripping goes, the hard part is testing... we can't test it without a Mogul ourselves.
I have xv6800 and t-mobile wing. If you want me to test i can.
The base is wm 6.1...
My thought, Ivan, was that someone could get the base wm 6.1 os and adapt it for the Wing. Since this is the first WM Pro 6.1 RUU that I have seen. I have seen no WM Pro OS versions that show the functionality that the WM Standard (Smartphone) version shows...I also have a t-mobile Dash (Excaliber) and I got a hold of the new 6.1 rom and flashed it on....It is awesome functionality from the Today screen. Anyway, it would be great to have that same functionality in the Pro version...like we've seen in the photos of the Diamond.
Hey did any of ya get that diamond rom to work on your phone? I got the wing and its giving me a error about the image.
It's not a Wing/Herald ROM. Like I said, do NOT try to flash it.
o ok, I want to get a diamond rom on my phone is there one out there ?
Released ROMs? I think only pappamopp's and that's newer than the diamond ROM, but not from a diamond itself.
I have a diamond port currently on my cellphone but that's not ready for release, yet.
You won't get all the diamond features, all you will get is the newer build of windows mobile 6.1.
ok well how can i get something on my phone that looks like the diamond? when are you going to releaseport?

The diamond TouchFLO3D requires 3d hardware acceleration. What you can do is download throttleLauncher and the TouchFLO3D theme. It's not perfect, but it gives you the looks.
Oh ok i might try that. Ivanmmj u have aim?
Yes. PM me. I don't like giving it out in the open... I'd be spammed day and night...

hmmm need a lil help here...

Ok, im not really to new to this forum ive been using different roms i got from here on my wing(herald) which is running "OTP v6.5 Biggy.nbh". But, my question is i just bought a wizard for my gf and she really likes the operation system set up on my wing. Is the .nbh file im using on my wing usable on the wizard like do i just change it out of my herald ruu program drop it in the wizards and load flash away? thats what im gathering from reading but, i just would like to make sure. oh and btw its a g3 cid unlocked and ready to flash. Thanks in advance for any help
In short, probably, since Windows Mobile is essentialy the same software, regardless of the platform that it is on. In long, I personally wouldnt do it. While the Wing and the Wizard are essential the same spec wise, they are not identical hardware wise, which in my opinion would spell diasaster for you if you try to flash a Wing ROM to the Wizard or vice-versa. We have many different WinMo 6.1 flavors for download here, and im sure that one of them would be too your liking. Please my friend, dont sacrifice a Wizard for experimentation!
Personally, I would try the latest TNT build(20237 I think), its very fast, and WinMo 6.1, and the latest build to boot!
Hope that helps!

EDIT-Gahh, dunno what happened, but I double posted by accident! Can a mod please remove this? (and not use the temp. ban hammer?)
That is some good advice. I was also kinda wondering about this kind of thing and just happened to come accross your post.

Thanks for the reply! Yea, i think ill just find one here. I dont wanna brick it im really looking for a stable 6.1 touch diamond build.Imma try those out and she how she likes em! Thanks again. i so thought i was gonna get flamed lol
Heh, perhaps by another member...but not from me! I try not to flame people asking innocent questions like that, now crap that is in the FAQ or something...THATS WHEN THE FLAMING BEGINS!! heh, but yeah, the latest TNT is indeed based off of the Touch Diamond ROM thats been floating around, so you are good to go there.
@hotrod101, glad I could be of service!

LEO on WM 6.1

That's how it all started...
"Hi all,
probably my brain is still in holyday, but I can not find any new Manila 2.5 (Leo, am I right?) interface on a Windows Mobile 6.1 ROM.
The question is: is it impossible or it is just that you are all in love with WM 6.5, that I actually hate since it is too cahotic?
I know that I can eventually install a WM6.1 lite ROM and then find a cab with Manila 3.5(if it exists) but performances would be significantly worst.
Thanks!"
...and that's where we are now:

why why why why why?!?!? I hate 6.1, 6.5 is soooo much better. It wouldnt really work without new start menu either, the ui and everything. Cant see the point.

I already explained the point. Up to me, 6.1 runs better and is organized better than 6.5 (e.g. programs are a-z sorted, there are less menu levels, smaler icons, etc).
Again, this is *my* preference. That's why I asked if it would have been possible. I know that lots of people prefer WM 6.5, and there's plenty of out there.
Up to now, no answer... so, is it technically possible or not to have Manila 2.5 on WM 6.1?
It is definitely possible. Miri has already cooked a 6.1 LEO rom for another device.
That would be really great with LEO on 6.1. Hopefully one of the good chefs around here thinks the same
tbh, i'm getting a bit pissed off wth wm6.5. i used to like it, but after some use titanium just doesn't make sense, it's not efficient at all. the start menu is just a mess, and the battery icon winds me up! i thought the new build with buttons at the bottom would help, but it didn't. i still support WildChild and his roms, but after daily usage on wm6.5 (coming from SPB MobileShell 3) i can't deal with 6.5 now
leo on 6.1 would be ideal, wasn't really a fan of touchflo until leo, they've made some good impovements
as doctorcrete on miri's thread said
6.1 is way much faster in my opinion, I think others will agree. Obviously it has everything to do with a well developed 6.1 ROM versus a Beta 6.5
amen to that
i just pm'd miri a polite request to cook a 6.1leo rom for the x1 not sure how likely it'll be, but worth a shot!

Hey, is it me speaking??!! Totally agree with you, please let us know what miri will answer you.
As stated out in other threads, just installing Manila 2.5 cab on a lite version of WM6.1 won't work, since it is not efficient at all and performances would be really bad.
It can be done with 6.1 but I think almost all cheffs are moving to the newer 6.5 builds since it's really stable these days

hehe will do, i gave him link to this thread aswell
it's a shame for me that all the chefs are onto 6.5 now. i know this is a 'developer' forum and 6.5 is new/ beta, but for usability, let's face it- 6.1 is quicker, and more stable than 6.5 (even though 6.5 is getting better)

unfortunately, miri won't be able to do anything for the x1 as it would be very difficult to cook for the x1 without actually owning one.
understandable, but unfortunate
let's hope one of the cooks here gives it a go
Yeah. I was really hoping someone like itje or smaberg would do something like this. I love 6.1, and I love Leo Manilla. Would just be awesome to see Leo and 6.1 put together. Would certainly have a lot of users I think.
Don't see why it wouldn't be possible. Pretty please, could someone maybe look into this when they have some spare time. Would love to see this happen ^^
I think I would be willing to support the person who comes up with this. Windows Mobile 6.1 with Leo Manilla (2.6 most probably?). Hope there is a chef out there willing to give it a shot ^^
i would like this too as this 6.5 rom is pi55ing me off now with constant reboots because app not working properly or crashing and it feel it is slow.
its like windows xp sp3 vs vista
It looks good but does not work good.
Personally I like wm 6.5 better but I do see the point in a Leo 6.1 rom.
I always thought that leo wouldn't work well with 6.1 as htc built the interface for 6.5, how does it work on "miri"s rom?
it seems to work very well, the thread is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=547278
i've used one of his roms on a friends blackstone, it was very good, stable and quick- he's a good cook!
general consensus seems to be very positive indeed, seems super-quick. there are the usual bugs that are being ironed out successfully as far as i can tell. also, it is being developed, it's currently on version 2.1, and miri is still active on it
Ok, I'll try to contact itje, jackleung, smaberg, wildchild, NRG, gtrab and some more to see if they can cook it... I'll keep you updated!
gd luck with that..... I look forward to a 6.1 leo myself
nice one [email protected], send a mass pm!!
a while back i asked WildChild if he considered a lite 6.1, he said he has some 6.1 builds, but no one has shown much interest in them- not sure where he is with Leo though...

That would be amazing dude. I would be perfectly prepared to maybe show a little monetary support to the chef who turns up a 6.1 ROM with Leo ^^

REQ: German ROM based on the final Windows Mobile 6.5

Hi,
I would very much like to see a German ROM with the final version of Windows Mobile 6.5, the one we are going to see on October the 6th. I believe it is build 21234, at least that is the one in the SDK.
If possible, I would like the ROM to have all original programs. Nothing should be deleted or added to the image. No tools, no taskmanagers, nothing. No Manila please...
Is it possible to do that? Thank you very much in advance
You have to make a search before posting...see RTT leet rom!
I am using RTT Leet ROMs but this is not what I asked for. I have searched and found nothing! I just want a normal WinMobile build based on the final RTM version of Windows Mobile. Everybody here is cooking much later builds which I don't find very good. They are also removing ringtones, programs and I hate that. I wish I could have an original Windows Mobile ROM with no extra stuff.

Than you are on the false site RTT have realy make a very good job and when you will a offical latest rom for the hd, than go back to the win 6.1 on the htc homepage RTT has remove some things to make his version on the inoffical rom of wm6.5 for the hd really fast and smooth. I tried really many roms and his version is very, very fast. I think you not will find something of your wishes for a rom.
I guess you haven't understood what I wrote...
I just wish a ROM based on the FINAL version of Windows Mobile 6.5
Who said anything about official ROMs?

Petvas,
I dont think you will find what you are looking for. You may wanted to talk a chef whether he would cook a ROM just for you
Ask buddy count h's a German Cook see here "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=534534" and ask him self to cook a rom for you
I don't think that anyone here would make a ROM just for me. Maybe I should learn to do it myself. I just don't understand why people aren't interested in the final Windows Mobile 6.5 build and like things like Manila. If someone likes Windows Mobile, then he/she should see that Manila is nothing but a threat to Windows Mobile..(and it is slow, just a bad copy of the iPhone). I like to use my stylus too..not only the fingers...

I am sorry but I can’t follow you about the manila.. Manila is just a skin that sits on the WM platform. Manila wouldn’t function if it would not use the data Base given by WM OS. However said that if you don’t like it..Then you just disable it and you have the pure WM
That is unfortunately not correct. There are still things in the ROM that do not belong to the pure WM OS. As I said before I just wish to have a ROM based on the final WM 6.5 OS. How difficult is that?

Well I think it is impossible for what you are looking here or anywhere else. Only one choice "cook" your own rom.
petvas, as far as I know - official WM 6.5 will be launched in October.
Therefore about what official WM 6.5 are you talking about?
yep. you want something that still does not exist. there is no official wm 6.5, only beta releases.

Well, that cannot be true. Windows Mobile 6.5 was released to manufacters at least two months ago, otherwise it wouldn't be possible for them to bring devices on October the 6th. I would just like a ROM based on the RTM build...
Nobody knows what the RTM Build will be.

Well, now we know. It is build 21854
Most custom ROMs have trouble accessing the marketplace...I don't even understand why you guys remove it when cooking the ROM. Please create one with the Marketplace integrated and using the RTM of Windows Mobile 6.5

[Q] What is the best WM 6.5 ROM for a beginner?

I literally want to use the same stock ROM except change WM 6.1 to 6.5. Is this actually possible? If not, then what ROM out there is closest to my requirements and still allows the X1 to run at a fairly decent pace? I heard WM 6.5 slows the X1 to a crawl, is this true?
Thanks.
ianwuk
A difficult question to answer, it's a bit like saying which car can you recommend me?
Anyway, when you say stock ROM - 6.5 has not been released for Xperia, so you will need to consider the custom ROMs.
Then you have all flavours. The biggest difference is between 6.5 and 6.5.3. The latter is more "touch friendly" and you can quickly identify them in photos because it has a big Windows icon at the bottom left.
Then the UI that sits on top, I assume you would be looking for Sense (Manila 2.5).
I would suggest going for 6.5 - I've been using Valkyrie Firestorm for a while now, and it's fast and stable. A new version of the ROM - the version number is not related to the WM version number - has been released (v7.3 I think), but try this: http://valkyrie.htc-files.com/downl...irestormLEO/v7.0/x1_firestorm_v7.0.21907XT.7z
the thread is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=512050
Thread moved to Q&A as not Rom Dev

Depends on the rom, but usually definitely NOT true. Try Valkyrie (at default manila is not active, so it is REALLY fast), as suggested above.
I like x826 for performance and HTC goodies. For X2 ported, I really like XPure II.
