OK, it's not another "Which ROM is best" thread, but I'm about to upgrade to WM6.1.
I'd prefer something that is as close to the original Microsoft version as possible and saw this on BGR - http://www.boygeniusreport.com/gallery/handsets/windows-mobile-61
Which WM6.1 ROM is that from? Gotta say that's exactly what I've been after but just can't seem to see anything like that in the ROM's here.
Is this version even available?
This is WM6.1 Standard Edition (i.e Smartphone Edition)
Polaris is a touch-screen device, thous it requires Professional Edition.
Crikey!
So that link I posted then goes to a WM6.1 Standard?!!
They seem to have a better system than us Pro users!
the pictures are from a windows smartphone ... polaris orbit2 touch cruise are windows mobile

Hi Folks,
I saw this on the HTC support website:
http://www.htc.com/www/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=13&cat=2&dl_id=18
What's wired is that it's on the Kaiser Software Update !!!!
I've tried my serial to download this rom but ity doesn't work.
Can you guys try this out ?
Cheers
It's probably a typo, and anyways it says WM 6 and not 6.1. All files have the same date 04-08-2008 which was the day they rearranged their web site. Now the e-club is for ring tones etc, and the hotfixes and rom upgrades are moved to the support area.
anyway htc is stupid monkeys
Can somebody upload this ROM? Thanks

great idée lol i seach... my friend have Tytn II
There are currently no software downloads available in this category.
Cruise
Could anyone reach an official rom yet ?? can we extract the current installed one on the cruise and have a copy of it ??
Does anyone know what on earth is happening with the release of the official 6.1 update for the Touch Cruise? What on earth is the delay?
WM 6.1 for the Tytn II has been out for months and months now and I thought the two were virtually the same machine, just that the Tytn II has a keyboard added. How is it that Tytn II owners have had a WM 6.1 update for months now and we Touch Cruise owners are still waiting?

They are doing one phone at a time. There are subtle differences on hardware (and software) on the various phone models. Updating and testing everything takes time. You can't just slap together something, test it for 10 minutes and release the files (like a chef can, and sometimes seemingly does looking at the quality of some ROMs).
It's coming, the latest I've heard is next month (september), and I'm for one would rather wait an extra month than getting a buggy ROM. That said the only thing the official ROM might contain that you cannot already get from a dozen cooked ROMs is a slightly optimized video driver that might enable OpenGL. That's cool, but for me CorePlayer has no problems playing videos today.

The same question for me!!!
Frepke
Look at this link: http://www.htc.com/www/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=59&cat=2&dl_id=18
When you change the id-number to 59 (Touch Cruise), it's not saying Tytn II in the header but Touch Cruise.
...and if you change the id-number to 59.5, or something other than what HTC intended, you can download the ROM that gives your Cruise TouchFlo 3D and a VGA screen

I was Wondering.....
Hi guys, I`ve been thinking about which it`s the real penetration of Polaris(Find, touch Cruise, Orbit..etc) in the market of the cellphones?, cause I think that it will depend of this when our upgrade or others upgrades will come, I realized that elf , elfin and TytNII are the most saled phones withouth mention Diamond, this implies that a Large company as HTC is will be less interested in spent hours of developing for upgrade products which are not the principal source of profits for them, that doesn`t mean that they will not do it, but I think it has sens the fact that those upgrades takes a lot time for be released.......well it`s just a thought.
I hope be wrong.
I'm about to buy an Elfin this Sunday, and after some googling, I want to clear some things up.
1. What is Manilla2D?
2. Should I install Onyx as soon as I get my phone, or should I wait?
3. What's the difference between TouchFLO2D and TouchFLO3D?
4. Is it possible to 'install' TouchFLO3D to an HTC Touch P3452?

1. What is Manilla2D?
It is a theme which comes with most WM6.1 roms, search this section to get more skins http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=260&order=desc
2. Should I install Onyx as soon as I get my phone, or should I wait?
You should read first a lot, Onyx WM 6.5 doesn't have Manilla, WM 6.1 yes,and especially how to flash in the stickies here http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=374
3. What's the difference between TouchFLO2D and TouchFLO3D?
Elfin doesn't support TouchFLO3D
4. Is it possible to 'install' TouchFLO3D to an HTC Touch P3452?
Answer above
Enjoy Your Device
Manilla2D = the Diamond Style.
3D= The Cube, 3D Touch Style.
argh double post
Manilla2D is basically a downsized version of Manilla3D.
and by the way, if you are looking for the HTC touch cube, its not longer available at any other phones, except for the touch and the dual.
More info about Manilla2D avail here
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&client=opera&rls=en&hs=Nqb&q=htc+touchflo+2d&aq=f&oq=&aqi=g:s4
@jeremy: Wait, from your link to google, I take that you mean mean Manilla2D is the same has TouchFLO2D. But tito12 says it's a 'theme'.
And does the HTC Touch P3452 have TouchFLO2D?
Manilla2D(M2D) is TouchFlo2D!
Nonono!
M2D has different themes for you to choose, and the themes is developed by our xda-developers community.
HTC Touch P3452 dafault handset does not have M2D, you have to upgrade to Windows Mobile 6.1 in order to enjoy M2D.
Here are a few pointers.
1) You choose to upgrade either to
- HTC Built ROM, which is their upgraded version
- Cooked Roms, which is made by people just like you and me, but they are usually more functional and practical. And Most people recommend cooked ROM as the HTC Built rom which is commonly known as stock roms, is underpowered and have too little applications. (And lags .. blabla )
One such cooked rom is Onyx and the one I am using.
Which can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=426540
Yeah I read about Onyx. I'll use the stock ROM for a couple of months, and then look towards Onyx.
This is what I've understood.
Elfin with WM 6.0, neither has TouchFLO2d, nor Manilla2D. If upgraded to WM 6.1, it will have Manilla2D, but it still wont have TouchFLO2D. To get TouchFLO 2D, we have to install a separate thing. And Elfin doesn't supportd TouchFlo3D.
Am I right? I'm confused because jeremy89632 says M2D has different themes available, and tito12 says M2D is a theme.
EDIT: Here, Is this the actual interface of an Elfin with WM6.1?
Hi Cyanide
I should have used "interface" instead of "theme", and this interface can be skinned, there are many on developpement and hacks section.
Okay, so Manilla2D is an interface that comes with WM6.1 for the Elfin? And,here, Is this the actual interface of an Elfin with WM6.1?
Yes, manilla2d is touchflo2d.
Okay thanks a lot for the help
This is slightly off topic, but I just want to ask all the Elfin/Elf users here, how do you guys like your phone? Would you recommend it?
EDIT: Also, I read another thread 'http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=531260' in which the guy's phone turned out to be fake. Since I'm buying a used one, what all should I check before purchasing it to ensure it's authentic HTC?
I'd just like to point out that I'm going to buy the phone tomorrow, so I need an answer for this (my last post) asap

Tips to get a legit HTC
Buy by walking in, not online.
Get from legit sellers, like big time corps.
See if the box have HTC logos and windows mobile logos around it.
Check for warrenty.
Thats all.
Im pretty happy with my elfin, except it lags GPS.
Umm, what do you mean 'lags GPS'?
HTC Touch Elfin and Elf does not have GPS.
Or known as the global positioning system which tells you where you are.
If you want to get a GPS for your elf, you must pay around SGD100 or around US$60 or even cheaper if you get from ebay.
I know it doesn't have GPS. You wrote it 'lags' GPS, so I was wondering what you meant. You probably meant it 'lacks' GPS.
Anyways thanks a lot you all, I finally bought it.
I'm avoiding making a new thread, so here goes.
How do I format the memory card? Will simply connecting the phone to the PC in data transfer mode and formatting it from there do? Or is there some special method?
Congratulations
Just insert it and start explorer to see that it is visible
Hi all,
have anyone already tried to put one of these ROMs on a VoiceMessenger?
Thanks for support,
joseffe
So nice, you had to post it twice?
Not really, but my browser crashed ;o)
I am looking for WM6.1 Prof or WM6.5 for my device as it is "only" WM6.1 Std. installed and some software will not work with this edition. Any ideas?
Cheers,
joseffe
Well, the major problem I see with this is that your device has no touch screen. No touch screen, no Windows Mobile Professional.
You're wrong Windows Mobile Professional run on SPV C600 and this phone don't have touch screen but users must use fake pointer.
Regreds.
P.S. Sorry for my english.
yeah, i kinda like to know if it's possible to put newer OS, even if it's 6.1 standard
Hello, is it possible to put Windows Mobile 5 or 6 or 6.5 in this device? If yes,
how?
The answer is yes...
and no...
Yes you could upgrade your OS - but maybe it hasn't been done yet for your device...
So no there may not be an easy fix.
You may want to look at my thread to see what I've been going through trying to upgrade an old iPAQ:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=981868
Curious though - if I look up your device on www.pdadb.net there is a secondary search result in their repository. A WM 6.1 ROM for HTC Kaiser. I don't have any idea if you could flash a Kaiser ROM to your device which is codenamed: HTC Beetles.
There may be a reason that they cross reference Beetles and Kaiser. (It works both ways - search one and you get a secondary result for the other.) So that might be one avenue for you to explore.

No, it's not possible - hw6500 Series iPAQs never got WM5 ROM. And if there is no WM5 ROM for your device - you can't get anything higher than WM2003SE.

You can't flash other devices ROMs. hTC Kaiser and hTC Beetles are two completely different phones.
ROMs are device-specific, so never try to flash any other ROM that was not made for your device, even if the specs seems to be the same.
Thanks Spiaatie,
It is good to have someone with proven experience weigh in and help those of us who are just now tinkering with these old devices...
Hi Everybody !
you all know how strange it might be some requests form your boss but this is the most strange one !
My Boss has a system that work on WM 6.5 only and doesn't work on WM 7 and he requested that I should Provide him with 40 New WM 6.5 devices !
you know that they are not available currently So I figured out that I should buy new WM 7 Devices and Flash it Back to WM 6.5 !
I think theoretically this is possible but have anyone tried it ?!!!
I want to Try it on HTC 7 pro Device , Could anyone tell me wha the steps I need to do that ?
any other suggested Devices ? I only want it to be New ,with QWERTY keypad and I can install WM 6.5 on it !
Thank you all in Advance.
Your only choice may be a new 6.5 device, and not much else. The HTC HD2 is still available, here in the UK, it is now the only 6.5 device stocked by Expansys on their web site.
How much longer will they be around? What's HTC's roadmap for the WinMo HD2?
Flashing 6.5 over a Phone 7 device, is asking for an expensive error.

I know that HD2 is the Only WM 6.5 device that still Availble but the problem is that HD2 Doesn't have a QWERTY keypad and the system required a lot of Typing.
Thank you for your support.
