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...
Hi Gents,
I just arrived in this wonderfull place. I browse it several time and find a lot of usefull information on so many topics (ROM and others).
But I was not able to find an answer to this question:
- Do you know if SonyEricsson will release an official ROM for wm6.5 on Xperia X1?
- If no, will it be possible to access to the market place using the ROM that we find here?
Thanks in advance
1. no there not
2. there is the marketplace cab on this website (do a search) and it works fine on 6.1.
I wouldn't be that sure to say no they will not, it is still to early to rule out completely an official wm 6.5 upgrade for the X1, though i would leave it at 50-50 chance of release at this time, and yes the marketplace is already in action on both the leaked 6.5 and the official 6.1
it would be bad for business for SE if they did
as benchmarks x1 vs. x2 show x2 is not faster
and it don't really pack that much extra features vs. x1
not a good way to make money if one kill the sale of a current device by
giving customers freebies so they will not buy a new phone

hello guys!
wm 6.5 is now available but htc won't supply it for touch diamond phone.
now i have a question, @ the rom section there are many wm6.5 rom files, but i am a newbie and dont know which one is the best?
is anyone familiar about that roms? is there a rom with the final 6.5?
and which one is clean? some guys are changing everything... i just want an original touch flo 3D (newest version) and wm 6.5?
thx!
so long
Mmmm...
I'm afraid no one can tell you which is best because everyone has different tastes. All you can do is try them and see which suits your needs.
None of the 6.5 ROM's are completely bug-free. They are improving, and the ROM cookers are doing a good job making them work, but as they're not designed specifically for the Diamond, bugs are bound to exist however small.
If you can live with a bug or two, go ahead and try some, but don't expect perfection. I know it's a bind, but you really have to read through the posts to find out what users of the various ROM's are experiencing.
I've tried all the 6.5's, some better than others, but as I would like one to be how you would by it new, they all seem to disappoint somewhat. I'm gonna wait and buy a new device with 6.5 pre-installed

Hi, would it be possible to buy the HD7 (Trophy) and change the rom to WM6,5?
I like the phone and its size but my company's email software and some other softwares are not WM7 compatible. Is it possible to install WM6.5 onto the Trophy or should I just get an older phone (probably HD2)?...
Get an older phone if you want to use 6.5.
trade me, i've got a brand new, never used hd2 . j/j, i hate at$t.
HD7 with WinMo 6.5 is HD2
ha ha ha ha ha
sorry
this is really funny
get a new/reconditioned HD2 on email for around £250 in UK
Fundamentally incompatible

The hardware of the hd7 and the hd2 are almost identical, but the hd2 is actually better. It has a removable sd slot also.
The HD2 had to be redesigned because the Windows phone 7 OS is actually a silverlight runtime environment and needed different hardware and that means different drivers. There is currently no way to use the hardware on the hd7 with wm6.5.
I assume you ask this because you want the flexibility of third party apps...
I just went and downloaded Microsoft Expressions Blend 4 and started to write my own apps for my phone
Just get yourself an HD2...same performance

Thanks
Super thanks to all of you!
I hoped to get an answer that I can install WM6.5 until there are some apps available for WM7 from my company. And then reinstall WM7. I guess it is not that easy... I will get the HD2 then...
Thank you for all the answers

What exactly are you asking? HTC 7 Pro?
The HTC HD7 is a windows mobile phone (Windows Mobile 7) it's really the HD3, but htc jumped to 7 to keep the number synonymous with WM7.... to avoid confusion, although people are still confused. Here's an easy way to look at it;
htc HD2 ---> WM6.5 OS
htc HD7 ---> WM7 (sometimes referred to as Windows Phone 7) OS
Seems you are confused a little..there is no Windows Mobile 7, there is Windows Phone and Windows Mobile..and that ended with 6.5.
But there is no other modern hardware with full keyboard..so the 7 Pro needs Windows Mobile.
When someone buys a Win 7 phone and wants to install 6.5 to get productivity then I really think MS have a major problem or the guy who started this thread is having a lend of us.
I would love to have 6.5.x on my HD7 dual boot
there are a lot of apps available for 6.5.x including multiple browsers copy and paste that i could use while we wait for wp7 to grow in functionality. At this point it would be ideal to be able to dual boot with 6.5.x and wp7, I could do things I need to do on 6.5 and then go back wp7 for the most part.
Are there any news about WM 6.5 ROM for the HD7? I have so many apps for 6.5 with no eqivalent in WM7. It would be great to have WM 6.5 on the HD7. I like the feeled speed compared to the HD2 and it feels easier to swipe with the finger, it have a faster response...

The HD7 feels faster because it runs WP7. Its processor runs at the same speed as the HD2's. The HD2 feels slower because WM6.5 is a big bag of smelly animal poo.
First of all there is no such thing as WM7, it was aborted in favour of WP7 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Mobile).
I suggest posting in the WP7 Rom development section your requests rather than here. Considering XDA-Devs is working on craking WP7 itself and when that happens possibly Android, I think the dead OS Windows Mobile will be low down on their list.
I also think dual booting is not all what it's made out to be! I dual-boot my HD2 to Android, and no longer use WM6.5. Why you ask? Well WM 6.5 is dead, most of the services (if not all) for WM6 are available on Android.
If you really must have Windows Mobile, best option is to get a HD2, it has very good support for WM, much better than any fudgeware that could be put on the HD7.
I have my HD7, my old HD2 still uses copilot and now a few apps only found in the Android market. I purchased a simple Pay as you go SIM to keep that phone alive.
I hope its possible soon..the HTC 7 Pro is on the market soon..and there is no alternative to it...
Give me strength!!!!!
What planet are you guys on? MS has switched development to WP7 and are not likley to support WM6 (maybe something in the numbering may give the game away here [sarcasm])
No matter how good the guys at XDA are, they are not going to crack WP7 overnight, it took them over 2 months to crack HD2 last year and that was on technology that didn't differ too much from WM6.1. WP7 is from the ground up.
As for the HD 7 Pro, it will come with WP7, nor Fairy phone 6 or anything else. And guess what? It's not even released yet so no point in asking people to crack it before it's been released.

Can one of the Mods close this useless thread or move it over to the HD7 Dev thread so all the Devs can laugh at it?
win mobile 6.5 on htc hd7
In reality, this requirement is due to the fact that many programs such as ACR (audio call recorder) and many other contacts backup is not running on win mobile 7. That's why I consider it important to install win 6.5 on hd7, at least temporarily.
thanks
while I await for my hd7, i was curious to know if anyone is working on porting windows mobile 6.5.x on the hd7 while wp7 is growing and progressing as a new operating system. I think that it would be nice to go back and forth between winmo and wp7, for our different needs until wp7 is a fully robust operating system. is anyone working on this?

Are you for REAL ?????
Once you get your HD7 in your hands, you won't be asking this question anymore
My first reaction was to scoff at this, but I do see his point. My daily driver is the HD7 but I still have to keep my HD2 for satnav and SPB time. It's a pain,but once those services are ported over WP7 I won't be needing WM.
I don't think anyone will be working on a port for Windows Mobile, they are too busy working on jailbreaking WP7. If you need WM, get a HD2 or something similar, they will be flooding ebay soon
I hope someone will do it, if it works on the HD7 it will work in the Pro 7 and i could get a modern device with a keyboard.
Im sorry but I rather use the maps on the HD7 then have to deal with WM6.5 that has Satnav or any other app you might use it for. I give all credit to the developers for making the hd2 way better than what it was suppose to be but after all the roms I tested on it along with porting Android, I still had to deal with the lags, freezes, and just couldnt use the phone for the basic reasons. to me theres just no way you can compare hd2 to hd7, its like comparing a brand new painted 1990 car to a brand new 2011 car.
