Do you think there will ever be an Official 6.1 HTC Rom? 6.1 was released for the TYTNII months ago, and then came all the Diamond/Pro hype. Now that has died down, there's still nothing new for the TC. I suspect HTC has abandoned any dev on pre-Diamond/Pro devices now.
Rumors say, that it will be realeased this month.
For your refernece

It will help you
In a norwegian site "smartmobil.no" they claim its probably in internal testing, and that it wont be long.
We all know HTC is not actually well known to be punctional..but they have anounced a wm6.1 rom for polaris, and im sure they will release it soon.
when you go to that link in the ELF/TOUCH forum, conserning a update to that device, note that there has never been a official anouncement, unlike the Polaris, about a wm6.1 upgrade for that device.
but hey..dont expect miracles with the shipped/official rom....
but we will have a new base for our roms...
It seems the beta has leaked. In rafael section of the forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=474406 is a kitchen made. Any cooker tested/ported this beta on Polaris?
Great news!
Hope someone can port it to Polaris soon!
good news indeed. Hopefully it will make the phone a bit quicker.
Wow, I mean... WOW!
I read that our Polaris colleague chavonbravo has knocked up a ROM based on the 6.5 code and flashed the software to his device. Seems that there are a few problems and not much improvement. Remembering these are very early beta versions, and this one in particular was already customised for another device, I doubt we will get any reliable indication for some time yet as to how good 6.5 is.
i think we have just to wait for someone who share a cooked rom based on win 6.5
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3208687&postcount=28
So what's new in 6.5 over 6.1? Is there a change-log or at least a list of new features.
All i could find is IE8 instead of IE6 and better support for finger navigation
And a green-ish theme
Supposedly, 6.5 should contain a 'cloud service', allowing you to synchronize all sorts of items 'on the go'.

don't they already have LiveMesh for that?
LiveMesh is the basis for this, obviously. They´re buillding dozens of services on the basis of Mesh.
I agree, WM 6.5 isn´t much of an improvement at the moment. But I´m sure this will change, as the leaked honey-comb design is confirmed.
Maybe wait for the next builds, the iPhone rip-off lockscreen, the new todayscreen (based on WM 6.1 Standards one.....) and the new scrolling method (also iPhone-like...) are not worth the efforts !!!!
I'm trying to do a porting ROM for Polaris of the Blue Angel & Raphael ones.
I hope i will work...
1st try : missed

Good Luck!
Is anyone working on a WM6.5 Rom? There exists a 6.5 rom for kaiser and they say it's fast as hell!
I'll try as soon as I will have a little time (maybe from middle week) with the base of the Kaiser.
does anyone have screenshots they can post?
Nevermind
http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/12/windows-mobile-6-5-screenshots-have-a-little-zune-in-em/
I suppose we are all waiting to hear about the new WM6.5.
I have read somewhere about a "Sky..." services, a service which will try to run against the "MobileMe" of Apple's.
Will all have just to wait and see ...

I try today, for hours, but I didn't success in it
I'll try another time on the week.
Maybe asking help on kaiser thread . good luck .
Just as the title says. As Microsoft has just release Windows Mobile 6.5 is there any hope that we will get the improved UI to the Polaris?
May HTC even step up to the task themselves? They released 6.0 for a lot of 5.0 phones...
Or are there still cooks active on doing Polaris roms?
probably...yes...

Thanx for replying
Wow, the wm 6.5 looks very great for the moment!
I'm intrested in your advance!
fantastic!! i hope it will come soon!!!
feels normal...bit faster in some areas (scrolling)...slower in others(startmenu-the honeycomb-due to drivers as far as i've tested)...but overall its good...if you consider its a leak from chinese beta and seems to be incomplete...
i'm waiting for a better leak wm6.5, for now just finding how new things work and making them better (its gonna be goodbye honeycomb menu for me, at least this one, way slow for me )...

I really do not know what the strategy is with launching 2 WM versions in such a short span of time. May be MS was just paranoid of losing market share to iPhone and Google - so it launched a band-aid solution until WM7 is launched?
Any attempt at 6.5 now is mainly for some chef to try and be all cool and be the first one to come out with 6.5 rom. I've tried it, and see no point in releasing something like this as it's buggy (beta) and in all truthfulness, 6.1 w/tf2d is better than 6.5 homescreen. The whole honeycomb screen is quite a waste of screenspace as well. It's all quite the gimick to me, and people would probably end up going back to another rom after a week of using a 6.5 beta rom anyways. The only good thing about 6.5 is the revamped IE.

being the first isn't all that bad i think...would you have some of the things you have now if someone didn't take the 1st step? think not!
yes, you are right, releasing such a rom is still very early, some have, and thanks to them people Now can taste a bit of the Future (some forget its very beta, so lots of bugs)...
i have to desagree, sorry , when you say...only good thing about 6.5 is IE...i would say more...who needs IE? haven't used it since i've had my device...opera or any other good browser (opera mini) is the way to go...
pc experience tells us so
now here are some of my findings...
the new homescreen has lots of potencial...its light and fast...got all the info one needs and only 45% of 101MB of RAM is used...plus it will be customizable (till its limit)...
there is more speed in the wm6.5 rom...or lets say less lagging in some areas...scrolls faster, i see that when i scroll my 4gb memory card using standard explorer...had to disable touchflo cause it was slowing the device down...
skinning of controls will bring a very nice add to customization...i personaly like that...plus they are more thumb friendly...
honeycomb wastes space "as is" but i have already rearranged it in multiple ways (X:Y; 4:Y; 1:Y just to name a few), i dont like it much but its okay...
only major problem here is its current speed that i hope will be better in final release...
its seems a good step ahead...one good thing...i haven't had that "oh, this is so slow" phrase yet as the (programs folder) is not there anymore...so no more laggy icon update...that is always nice...i have a nice fix for that (youtube) but now i will not put it out since 6.5 is comming so its delayed till further notice
there is also a very nice lockscreen too...
lets just see where this goes...
keep up the good work...

Hmmmm - no HTC I see.......
Punishment for bringing out an Android phone?
Sorry, didn't see your posts above that you were releasing a 6.5 rom. Hopefully with tweaks by someone knowledgable, the beta will be closer to decent. And you make good points that maybe more than just IE is good, but I'd still rather wait to base a rom on official 6.5

me to await an oficial rom to pop out, or at least a newer one, meanwhile i'll be playing with what i got and making it better
cheers
humble begger....
will you be letting the hd rom go in the days to come pcarvalho ?
will htc hd get windows mobile 6.5 officially or not please who know any information even if he wasn't sure tell me
There is no information about that, in official information from MS is only three devices at the moment, see http://db.msmobiles.com/Lists/p/windows-mobile-6.5-upgradeable.aspx, but HD is not listed...
I thought that htc officially said that they will not upgrade any phones either released before some date or before the touchpro2/diamond2. Either way, I believe they said that no official 6.5 for htc HD. (I think this was either during CES or GSMA....or some other large congress). Either way, I remember at the same time that they announced that there were already cooked ROMs of wm6.5, which doesn't get released till the summer...lol, that's just how good xda is.
(PS, wm6.5 doesn't impress much, seems like just a filler before 7 comes out. Looks like it got pushed back so they wanted to relase something quick...and hence 6.5)
and take all of the above with a grain of salt
There are some THD users with WM6.5 already. Anyone care toshare with me where to download that?

LOL, awesome post. Guess you should head over to the ROM Development section of Blackstone RIGHT HERE on XDA-DEV
sorry to inform that htc doesn't have offical winmobile 6.5 pro itself.....and honestly if some of you are tring to upgrade htc tytn 11 from win 6.1 to 6.5 ...advise...please think twice cos you will lose a few funtion there.....even win 6.5 are more good looking by the way THINK FIRST......good luck to all....and to whom, knows the latest win 6.5 for win mobile...kindly inform me ASAP ...cos i want to try and compare...to return to win 6.1 on htc tytn 11...kindly goes to htcdriver.com
Exactly two years after the last post my friend, just in case you didn't notice
does anyone know if htc will make an update for 6.5?
It will be great, i like a 6.5 ROM but no with so many changes such V24, i like a ROM that likes such Microsoft Original's OS.
It's very unlikely that they would.
If you were the head of HTC, would you rather support older phones or give people a motivation to go and buy newer models??

but wouldn't be nice to support the newer models and the not so old models like the opal?
lets just wait and see...
Updating your phone to Windows Mobile 6.5:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/meet/wm65-upgrade.mspx#phoneList
that is right opal is not so old... one year i think... remember what happened from WM6 to WM6.1 they made an update for the htc touch...
lets hope they also make an update from 6.1 to 6.5 for touch viva
If Htc doesn't update, is is not possible for the crackers or ROM cookers to cook a new ROM based on the official release????
