Windows mobile 6.1 Rom

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...

fast Rom without Manila?

Please can someone tell me a fast 6.1 Rom without Manila? If its in german it would be great too if its in 6.5, no problem.
thank you in advance.

Hi. You've got a whole rom benchmark by Daeron > http://www.editgrid.com/user/daeron.be/Daeron's_Blackstone_Rom_Benchmark (great job btw) where you can see Dutty's roms in high position. Choose one of the WM6.5 (like R9 turbo ^^). Nice day.

Why do you need a ROM without Manila? Just Switch it off! Start>Settings>Today>Items>uncheck TouchFLO 3D
Here's a German 6.5 (on second page of ROM threads!)

kwbr's ROM is a 6.1! WinMo 6.5 has some improved graphical features over WinMo 6.1
... may I suggest you do some searching and reading and before more questions are asked.

I'd advise you to search and read. All rom threads state whether rom is 6.1 or 6.5, and whether or not it has manila or not. Daeron has even provided a benchmark guide stating these as well.
Most if not all your queries have been asked before by countless others and generally get same response. Best advice for everyone is to try each rom yourself and see which best meets your needs.

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:

i damn sure hope that can be done!

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 ^^

need a basic rom wm6.1

hi all, is there a basic rom or one i could create/strip down?
I only use my xda 2 for tomtom/video/phone/txt/mms
i dont need all the other progs that take up memory, just need a very basic rom

basically due to hima memory constrain, there is nothing much to add, so most of hima rom are clean. only some of the rom are customized with themes and skin
aeroflyluby if you have the time, can u cook us a clean 6.1 with default M$ theme & skin? a must to request, .NET 3.5 too

Okay I will try tommorow, now im so tired.

thank you aeroflyluby
many many thanks for your offer and time aeroflyluby
a big cheers to you

I would suggest Ather's Dark Edition as basic, as it it is commonly known as one of the most stable clean rom ever. As far as I know, the only issues I remember to be improved, could be changing screen rotation and serialusbfn .dlls and adding speakerphone for better usage.
Adding netcf3.5 is not as easy as it sounds because it is really huge compared with 2.0!! It is nearly impossible to remove enough apps to get the space in memory to build it in!
Hi, newquaymarc. Nice signature - That's quite the same as i meant in mine.

eee, speaker phone is not holding green button?

Sorry my himalaya friends, but today i'm gonna kill myself, I will cook 21054 tommorow, okay? I will, I promise!
Peace and Love to You my friends!

Well, I never found a way to use the phone handsfree, as in WM2k3SE times, so I added it to my rom as a fingertip gesture. As I remember, this function leeks in WM5 & 6.X.

ello all, im still alive but buzy as hell, i know i promised a ROM but im really sorry i have been veryy buzy with work
hopefully, this week im kinda free so i can look into my kitchen again
@aeroflyluby : nice work you'r doing for the Hima Lovers, as for the Speaker it was removed from WM2003, so is the STK

cheers muckelmaus
i have no use for hands free.
im using wm 6.1.1c16csand radio 1.17 at the moment.
i just dont need encryption/backup pim/tray launch/new menu for wm5office mobile/games/ftouchflo/ptab/speaker phone/wktask/wm5storage
ive never used any of these and just need more memory free
i have google maps on all the time and msn and keep getting out of memory errors
cheers

I guess, I understand, what you want. But you have a little problem with understanding what happens, when you delete proggis from a running rom. You can delete as much as you want, you'll never get more usable memory in ram. The only thing you get is, more sectors free in rom, to build in new features. These apps you mentioned are all verry small, between 10 and 250kB, (exept office) you hardly get enough room for netcf 3.5, which is about 4MB! I am sorry.

oh poooh
i will have to strugle on
but many thanks for the info
cheers

like i asked before in another thread..
is it possible to build a WM 6 ROM with TRANSPARENT upper and lower bars on today screen...and honey comb start menu...?
thanx in advanced

It's not, that's 6.5 features only. but 6.5 could be lightweight too!

wm6.1 and manila 2.5

hello
as i surfing other phone threads i saw many WM 6.1- MANILA 2.5 cooked rom for X1 TP2 and diamond2 and... is there any thing for Blackstone ? as in my opinion WM6.1 is much much faster than WM6.5. I almost tried all wm6.5 roms but they are buggy and slower than WM6.1.
the only one for blackstone found is Miri Wm6.1 with manila 2.5 which is fast but rather old and it is DISCONTINUED!

The problem with the buggyness is not due to win 6.5 but Manila 2.5, the problems would be at least the same with 6.1.
I suggest u try some of the win 6.5 + manila 2.1 that there are around such as miri v30, they're very fast and very stable.

Guess why? Because in contradiction to your opinion, almost everybody here regards WM 6.5 as fast, more user friendly, better looking, and bugfree.
As he said: Try 6.5 with Manila 2.1, because it is 2.5 that is slowing down things with the slow Touch HD processor, not 6.5.

yes . tried those V30 and V12 also. they are acceptable but not running smooth. I think Blackstone lack of drivers for WM6.5 causes that. they freezes randomly so not good for daily uses. I almost lost some of my important information using those roms but they are good things to experience things coming future! how ever I think manila 2.5 will run better on Blackstone. now I am switched to miri WM6.1 with manila 2.5 but the version of manila used there is older manila 2.5 one which is buggy and the rom is also discontinued.
-I am also thinking of overclocking the blackstone processor as the last solution since I damaged my htc prophet one because of overclocking

Why don't you try it. I'm using her for more than a month and I'm really quite happy. And, since I don't use Facebook nor Twitter, everything is working well. I can even send a 160 crt SMS that with all the others 6.5 Rom's wasn't possible.
At least for now, this is my Rom, and will be the backup Rom if I decide to restart flashing new ones.

for sure! I am now playing with this rom. its fast and smooth. manila is working as what it should be and smooth as i saw in the demo of HD2. however since this rom is discontinued the manila is rather old 2.5 one which having some problems. how ever i am now forget about some broken things and I am happy with this rom.

is miri V3.0 the only WM6.1 and Manila 2.5 available? is there is any other please provide me with the link. thanks

i am using toopix and it's the best. i tried all 6.5 with manilla 2.1 and 2.5 and always had to come back to toopix. i just need an application that does the work of footprint and it will be perfect.

I agree with you. All WM6.5 ROM I tried are slower then WM6.1 ones.
Now I'm using Miri's WM6.1 Manila2.5 and it's fast, very fast.
I have also update some packages. The only bugs I've are: Facebook and Footprints. Also the default WM6.1 is very bad... but I'm working on it to replace with a third part action screen.
ReX

i agree, it is fast but it is rather old and have some bugs

can some one upload the ROM file and post the link here? the one on the official thread doen not have any free user download slots left.
please

Hey, do you mind tell me which version you are using?
I'm using miri wm6.1 + Sense 2.5. I gotta say, I love WM6.1 better than 6.5. I find the battery life is better. Also, the speed is better than 6.5. I'm not saying 6.5 is slow, just 6.1 is faster than 6.5.

hey Jakkkk, Do u have the zip/rar file of the miri's ROM with you?
i can't find any working download link for the same..
the dedicated thread is closed as well

People still use 6.1? There is a reason noone puts 2.5 on 6.1
Its so OOOOLLLLDDD. Live in the NOW! once you go kinetic you can't go back! Once you made that move the next one is clear, once you go 6.5.1 + 2.5 there is definitely no going back! Unless you don't commend appearance or usability high on your list.....then you can stick with 6.1
MAN UP, PUT UP WITH THE EXTRA FEW MILISECOND LAG WITH 6.5x ROMS AND ENJOY THE AWESOMENESS!
I am a fellow topix follower, but I love the new 6.5.1 far too much to worry that it takes a few more miliseconds to do things. BOOHOO
P.S, do you still use windows 95? Cos its ALOT faster than xp, vista, and windows 7. I use windows 7 cos it looks god damn gorgeous (and way more features lol) - catch my drift?

I get ur point.. but i still wonder why u r still on HD, i am sure there alot of newer phones out alreday. HD is so OOOOLLLLDDD!!!
anyways, everybody choose whatever they are comfortable with. I'll request you to refrain yourself from passing such remarks(n making such posts) on what others choose. Let them live in the primitive era if they wish to.. Rest its up to u.
