If i install a 6.5 rom can i revert back to 6.1 htc rom?

Just in case i dont like it or am i stuck with cooked roms thereafter?

Yes, Once installed HardSPL, you can put on any rom you wish,
This means, that you can flash Official Roms (Perhaps to change language) or Cooked Roms, As long HardSPL is on your device, you can reflash any Rom that is built for your device
Since HardSPL cannot be removed by flashing a rom (you can remove it with the removal utility) you don't have to worry about Official or Cooked roms ;-)

Hey!
Thanks for such an informative and quick reply!
I'm just thinking about my warranty etc and also whats the best 6.5 to try whilst i have your help?
Does Dutty not do Tpaz roms?
Cheers

W.r.t warranty, if you ever have to send your phone in for repair under warranty, be sure to remove hard SPL with the removal tool first

Thanks mate, whats the 6.5 rom you are running like? is it fast? any benefits?

Dutty does not work on the Topaz (yet? xD)
I still use a highly (self) customized stock rom,
If you want to use a 6.5 rom I'd recommend Tom's or udK's roms.
And indeed, if you ever need to return your phone, Try to flash a stock rom & remove HardSPL from your device, and you should be ok ;-)

I am running Tom Codons' latest 6.5 ROM - Biggest benefit to me is that windows media player appears to have more video codecs than before - I can now play vids that would not play on 6.1.
Toms ROM is genreally fast and bug free and he includes a registry editor for your convenience!

Ok great thanks guys!
As HTC dont supply a stock rom are the original rooms on the wiki mirror the same?

The ROM's which names start with RUU... are official ROM's from HTC. The question is if you find the original ROM that is on your TOPAZ right now.
If it is not listed yet, you might not be able to get back to your original status once u flashed a cooked ROM.
A possibility is to dump your original ROM and try to create the files for reflashing it. I never tried by myself, but I see in the threads of "TOPAZ ROM development" that it is not that easy.
At the end it's your decision to accept the risk.

Great thanks!
Well im flashing with Toms 6.5 rom and yeah i have hardspled
Cheers guys!
oh and i have a tomtom 7 version, what sat nav you all preferring? need to get an 'extended' version ideally to play with

I had some voice problems with tomtom, So I use iGo8

what did that cost ya?

Not that much *rolling eye's*
Although tomtom is fine with the fix...

Go with Garmin GMXT just google for the K*y Gen and procedures.

Looks like garmin dont like built in gps? at least not what i tried!

Garmin XT is working fine on my Topaz, no problems with the built in GPS.

I use Garmin XT - it works flawlessly and I'm very happy with it.
I was previously using Tomtom but had the voice command cut-off problem and the fix available here didn't fix it.

@ Garmin XT users,
I don't know that particular GPS software,
And have 2 questions about it,
1) Does it have Dutch voices?
2) Does it have a Belgium only map?
If you could answer these questions I would be very happy,
Cause iGo8 isn't the best there is either

Yes, the Netherlands is listed in the voice options. I don't think a Belgium only map is available. I have the Europe map with mine.

aww, thats sad, I only use a Belgian map, So I don't need all the others...
Well I'll look into it ;-)
Thanks for your reply!
*edit* It seems like they have Benelux maps... Which is Belgium Netherlands Luxembourg
Lets fire up that search engine x)

You can get it. I find it a bit too buggy atm so I'm staying with 6.1 for the time being.

Some of the newest ROMs coming out right now are incredibly stable for beta software. At this point they are stable enough for me to run days without running into any glitches or problems. No more so problems than the current stock 6.1 roms available. If you're feeling adventurous give one a shot. worst case scenario you can always flash back to your stock rom. Just be careful if you're not familiar with custom rom flashing, it's easy to do but just make sure you read up on it thoroughly to avoid any headaches. Good luck and enjoy 6.5, I love it on my diamond.

HTC Diamond India Version

....first install HardSLP!
....second:
Radio Rom: resposible for gsm signal, wifi...
...third:
Cooked Roms:
Our Chiefs are always cooking roms with the newest applications and share them to us.
In the benchmark you can see which rom is the fastest. But I woud suggest you just try them out!

Are you 100 % sure that as a newbie you really need to flash new rom first? Why not to get to know your device a bit before making any changes?

WM 6.1 with new kernel and new drivers ???

Hi,
I've read new kernel and drivers thread for kaiser ...
An answer have been post : is it possible to make a new WM 6.1 with these to make it faster ???
is someone going on ???

Just wondering-why would you want this? WinMo 6.5 is superior in basically every measurable way, and with the new kernal, it is better than ever. Very few chefs are still producing 6.1 ROMs right now, so I wouldn't count on it.

The first reason is that 101 ram is native with new kernel..and probably D3D driver will work in full speed like with 85mb ram in 6.1..
The second reason is that 6.1 has looking like PDA and 6.5 have looking like iPhone..
And third there is new verisons of 6.1 like 21056..After long time 6.1 has all hotfixes 6.5 don't..

Thank for your help nicke85... you say all !!!

Am I the only one who still likes 6.1? I don't mind 6.5, however I really dislike CHOME and the bottom buttons on 6.5.3. I don't know why anybody would like those.

I think that best rom ever is AthinOS v2 Naked..
just install newer D3D driver..
You will have 107 ram,D3D (with working demo),NetCF3.5,and anything you install will be unistable
I were just tried new kernel with 21054,21056 and 21109 builds and nothing special in speed..trust me!
New kernel speed up only 6.5 builds..to work smoother and faster..

I saw a rom for Kaiser with this build. It is located here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=472174

nicke85 I have looking for AthinOS rom ... but unfortunetly I don't find it ! could you send a link ?

Well, 6.1 is better, because it's much faster. I don't like WM 6.5 new menu (I hate it, actually ). It's like comparing Windows XP with Vista. 6.5 looks gorgeous, but it's a little bit slow
I hope WM 6.6 or 7 will be much better.

Moved as not ROM Development..
There really isn't that many 6.1's that setting a day or 2 aside you could flash and find the one that suits your needs.
One of my favorites used to be PDA v.19 & v.11 but also like -shifu- v.11 "note past tense"

But of course the best 6.1 is stylez v5 beta , smooth and fast and loaded with every app you could need
