Hi everyone, is there a way I can install a 6.5 ROM into my Xperia and sill have my panels working?
Would stuff like the media manager still work?
You should use Itje's ROM, the panels are working fine http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=489469
if you are making your own rom you just need to include the panel manager and you have panels. you may have to download the media panel seperatley. but its doable
Well i dont know how to make my own rom im a totall n00b =P i just get intimidated by what all of you can do, so i dont even dare to try hahah, but thanks for your help!!
I'll try to put one together for you if your willing to test it....p.m. me

Panels are not enough, you need to add all the SONY OEM operator package and SONY customizations to get a REAL Xperia, and get rid of the Rhodium/Topaz/Maila/TouchFlo 3D shizzz
Whatsmore, you need to build a stable WM6.5 platform (SYS/XIP port), ironing out all of the known M$ WM6.5 bugs (remember: it's a prototype ROM) not that easy
If somebody is interested, I have a full working port (R3A over WM6.5) with zero Manila shizzz for my personal use. I've been using it for a couple of weeks so far.
Just plain and PURE XPERIA OEM full software packages over WM6.5
WM6.5 is beautiful without all of the Manila masks. I can send you a copy - or a contents description - if you wanna give it a try, but as I stated before it is meant to be personal, not public
What, you have a "clean" Xperia 6.5?
If you have let's say a R3A ROM with WM 21501, I'm extremely interested. I use the TouchIT ROM, but is has some non Xperia stuff in it...
Or you wait a little bit and try my 6.5 Extravagant Medium Panel Edition
Rom is cooked already but i have to test and fix all the bugs
Haja, wieso denn net, des wär doch was
Why not, I'm a Xperia Panel fan and I'm not that freaked in TF3D stuff...

Hello all!!!
Iam sorry for new thread alocation, but I cant find any new rom (build) with old user interface (I mean classic TouchFlo3D which is included with official ROM). I bought second HD for my girlfriend, which has stock rom... Its amazingly speedy a smooth (on the side of UI - TouchFlo3D) but I completly dislike Win.Mob.6.1...
Can anybody help or assist me?
Have a good day!
Thanx in advance to any response.
The Sense 2.1 is the new name for the TouchFlo3D.
...As far as I know...
The new name for the stock manila is manila 2.0 i believe.
2.1 is already with the colored icons (and weather).
However the smoothness of the UI is strongly related to the windows mobile version. So an old UI with wm6.5 will be slower then your girlfriends one .
I don't believe any of the chefs makes a new wm with the old manila, it's always vice versa!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=616294 Try this one,this rom has manila 2.1

You cant get the original tf3d for wm 6.5. youll have to settle for v2 or 2.1 (2.1 is the most common). the wm6.5 topix ROMs are supposed to be fast for windows mobile.
So I will try BLACKSTONEhenge (thanx for the link) I had 2.1/2.5 Sense, with 6.5/6.5.3 now with 6.1 I have TouchFlo3D 1.3.37395.0_1630.38 which is so speedy... I have in my hands Topay (Diamond 2) which has the same HW as our device, why Sense 2.5 is so speedy on this device while on our devices is so laggy and slow? Any one can answer this basic question?
I think if you use a COM2 build Sense 2.5 with WVGA-tweak will run as fast and smooth as on the Topaz.
Sense 2.5 was still intended to be Snapdragon-exclusive.
So footprints, landscape-pics etc... will maybe never work perfectly smooth.
I started this thread because I see much 6.5 ROMS right now. Some of you (atleast me) wanting a 6.1 ROM. You can also have a ROM with LEO or TF3D.
Discuss here and maybe the ROM developers can make it easier.
Greetz,
Win mo 6.5 with Rhodium manila 2.1
i really like WM 6.5.3 one with TF3D (the new one from Rhodium)...
xperia with windows mobile 6.5, without touchflo. fast&stable !
6.1 is pretty fast, but Titanium has everything I need, so 6.5 it is.
another useless thread lol ... you can cook any rom you like by yourself and you can't force chef to cook the rom they do not want!

You got a point there, but developers can see which ROM the X1 users would prefer.
For me: WMobile 6.1 + TF3D

some chefs cook rom from their own personal taste and just shares it to people
6.1
vietdoan20062006
6.1
6.5 is cool, but 6.1 is definitely faster on X1 (regardless of whether you use TF3D or no), so ... 6.1
Switched back to stock 6.1 because this is the fastest ROM.
Currently WM6.1 with SPB mobileshell. Superfast is the only reason. Like 6.5 more tho, but havnt found any good cook yet. All 6.5 cooks is buggy, hangs, SOD etc. etc..
Clean 6.5 cook with _SPEED_ would be nice, then I can install whatever I want
Maybe this thread could be both discussion of wich ver. to use, show current, help etc.?

I have tried several WM6.5 ROMs like Christians Clean, X1.5, Infinite, Pure, Energy, 826X...
They are all quite fast, but compared to the stock ROM the UI is VERY SLOW!!!
My HTC Wizard with a 200 MHz CPU and [ROM][WM6.5.x][6.5.1.7 - 23085][6.5.0.2 - 21869][Clean] - MSD Series >> 4-Nov-2009 has a much faster responding UI.
WHY??? The X1 has a 528 MHZ CPU!
Is it caused by the high resolution display of the X1 with a 4 X higher resolution?
Or does all WM6.5 ROMs use other (slower) system drivers instead of the 6.1 stock rom ones?

According to your Signature you are also running Nuts so you should know?
Well, im not using tochflo at all, disabled everything as "Today" and running SPB on top of that.
I discovered that stability and speed is most important for me. So, WM 6.1. I also install Mobile Shell for fingerfriendly UI and FingerSuite.v1.12rc8 for fingerfriendly menu's. TF3D is only an eyecandy for me. Mobile Shell is better for me, because it is faster and customizable. I install some fingerfriendly software and Xperia is ready to use.
I go for coolness and usefullness rather than speed. I do not want to go back to WM6.1 ever again... I recently had a customer with a 6.1 ROM and OMG, it's so old and hard to use/configure compared to 6.5.5
I kept trying WM 6.5 over and over but.. It's just too slow!
Switched back to PCTech4u, best WM 6.1 rom out there.
You're wrong, THIS is the best WinMo 6.1 ROM.
Dear HTC hd touch users.
As the title says what ROM are you guys using and why are you using it?
Maybe u can say some good and bad stuffs with that ROM. Also which ROM are you recommending and why are u recommending it?
Thanks for answer
Kind Regards
I vote for 3:
- Original HTC ROM. It works, it's light. Of course no Manilla 2.5, Opera is only 9.5, Office Mobile is old version. But it works pretty fine.
- Topix 3.5 WM6.1 Manila 2.1. This is light and fast and everything works fine. It's missing lastest Office and Opera tough.
- millski rom[21897]
I'm running this one now. It's not heavy for a WM 6.5 ROM. Has all the basics and no extra unneeded programs. It feels slower than WM 6.1 of course, but it's usable. Has Office 2010 and Opera 10 integrated. All WM 6.1 programs I usually install work here (in other WM 6.5 builds you can find incompatibilities)
Thanks for the answer!
I thought that updating ur ROM from 6.1 to 6.5 would make ur phone faster and more stabile but u are saying that it feels slower? explain please'
Thanks in advance!
WM 6.5 is heavier than WM 6.1. The only thing I saw going faster is installing some programs. Manilla 2.5 is heavier than Manilla 2.1. Manilla 2.5 with all tabs is heavier than it with footprints, facebook or e-reader tabs removed.
You must think of that when choosing a ROM.
A WM 6.1 ROM has more much RAM free than a 6.5 (130 MB vs 90 MB for example). This is important if you launch applications like Opera 10. Touch HD2, with 1 GHz snapdragon and 512 MB od RAM, can handle WM 6.5 better. Touch HD is not designed for WM 6.5.
If Kwbr or someone else decides to update the WM 6.1 ROM with IE6, Office 2010 and Opera 10, I'm flashing that. Right now you can use a light WM 6.5 (48% RAM used on boot).
I just love Energy ROM...they are the best in term of full pack features (all the latest) and if you are in for a beauty (eye candy) stuff. Currently I am using the Energy ROM 23554 with GTX theme (truly AWESOME!)

I would recommend Cloudy 1.6 or Topix 3.5.10, both wm6.5 roms, close to stock, low ram useage, ive had no problems with either of these roms.
Don't use wm 6.5, its stable when you don't install apps but If you install your apps, your hd will run slowy and unstable. I prefer kwbr 3.1.2 its is wm6.5 with manilia SENSE 2.1, I updated microsoft office to 2010 and opera to 10 final. All my apps are intalled, about 60 apps and it stil runs smooth, stable and fast. I've tried all the recent roms, and I always flash back to kwbr 3.1.2!! KWBR 3.5 wm6.1 sense 2.1 is in my opinion not beter than 3.1.2
If the point of this thread is to find out which roms people use & why so you can decide which to try.....my best advice would be to try a few yourself. You're never going to know which build is for you unless you try it.
Yes wm6.1 is quicker than wm6.5, but you may prefer the latest builds in wm6.5 over wm6.1
Its a matter of personal taste and everyone has his/her own likes & dislikes
Threads similar to this have been opened countless times before and closed for the very reason that its opinionated which creates endless long threads as each user will have a different opinion
For the same reasons I am closing this thread
Hi, I buy a new Xperia x1. What I should upgrade?
try to run android.but dont expect super performance,because android on wm is still in development.
sorry, but that's rubbish. android comes last when pimping this phone.
- important: flash hardspl first (to allow flashing custom roms made by xda-cooks)
- flash a recent 6.5 custom-rom found in rom-dev (i'd suggest "dynamics" by ultrashot or "826x" by williyung
- find out for yourself which type of rom you prefer (plain winmo 6.5, or with htc sense); there are other cooks as well, but always have a look at the release-date of a rom - you shouldn't flash stuff from a year ago, roms weren't that smoothly back then.
now before you start:
always read the forum-stickies first and follow instructions closely!
android isn't really for daily use yet, nevermind what some people will tell you.
