As you can read on MS website
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/6-1/default.mspx
Today microsoft has launched Windows mobile 6.1
i also read this news on an italian portal (pockepcitalia) but theu say that HTC will release the update only for the TYTN II....
but why?
So the best feature IMO the sliding panel, is missing from the touch screen version of WM 6.1 nice
Well that link is for smartphone anyways,
but yes, pda 6.1 isn't that much of an upgrade, while smartphone version is.
that's my opinion, too
WM6.1 on PDAs is not more than a facelift.

No, WM6.1 more faster then WM6.0
And more stability.

I test WM6.0 original ROM and WM6.1
And I tried it also at HTC P3450. The same results.

I take this with a grain of salt. The OS always seems faster when re-loaded for the first time.

Yep...still too soon. I have done my share of OS upgrading too. Use it for a month or more then compare that device with a WM 6.0 device side by side.

You may be right on this. I also realized, that WM6.1 seems to have
optimized kernel and so be faster in response. So i confirm, that WM6.1
also in my opinion is "better" than WM6.0. My former statement of the
facelift was regarding to the optical appearance of WM6.1 on PDA devices
in comparison to the optical improvements of the Smartphone version.
Hope that made it clear
Olioaglio
As you can see there aren't that many updates from 6.0 to 6.1. But everything can run faster and better. (Hope so)

It's not even sure if HTC will release a WM6.1 upgrade for the Touch Cruise.
Being patient is all what you can do, or use a custom rom

Hi Starbase64
At their webpage they say:
"The final version of eXPerience, version 2.09, is not compatible with Windows Mobile 2005."
Maybe some of the older versions will work on WM5. Good luck,

Why doesnt it run on WM5.Why?! Somebody needs to hack this thing and let us use some vista backgrounds

Bit early yet isn't it? The rumour I just found here (http://wmexperts.com/articles/rumors/windows_mobile_61_coming_with.html) claims that Microsoft will announce it this month with devices shipping in May so my guess would be some time after May. HTC did release a WM6 update for the Artemis so at least they have a history of releasing in-the-field upgrades.
Does anyone have any idea how long after the official Microsoft release of WM6 was the HTC release of WM6 for the Artemis? This would give us some idea of how long it takes HTC to get one of these field upgrades out.

Will a cooked ROM with 6.1 be possible before an official HTC release? Does the cooking process require an official ROM image (for both technical and legal reasons?) as one of its raw ingredients?

Truth friend Julian? I think it is not so much so.
I am not talking about a Rom official, of course.
Look at the Artemis.
I'm sure Polaris Project team will release WM6.1 for Polaris as soon...
They working in progress and try get for all peoples in polaris forum have fatasic rom.

HTC released the Artemis WM6 upgrade in june for the asian market. European update came in october for some unknown reason and was a lot worse than the asian WM6 release. The australian ROM I used for some time with my P3300 had GPS Photo enabled, the european ROM had this feature disabled.
Note that WM 6.1 is not a major OS update so it won't take that long IMO. Not that WM6 was such a major upgrade

OK. I'm glad to be wrong. WM6.1 still isn't officially released by Microsoft though is it so are these based on a beta build of 6.1?
Some reports I saw quoted WM6.1 as being a worthwhile speed improvement over WM6. The page I saw was auto-translated from some other language but if I understood it correctly then I think they were talking about the soft reset time, in any event it was something that took 50 seconds on their device with WM6 was only taking 30 seconds on WM6.1.
Is there any feedback coming in from Kaiser users about speedup with WM6.1?
- Julian
Hi,
All the "official" versions does not seem to really official ones there are too many bugs that remind of a cooked ROM
does HTC really going to publish ROM WM6.1 for Polaris?? when??
uh yeah HTC confirmed that they are working on a new ROM with WM6.1, and it will be released any time now..

ahah, you think that this ROM it's a fake?! how can you say this?
well, when I flash that rom, unmodded, My startbutton and my screen is messed up, just like in several builds that both I and others has ported. This goes for polaris, herald and kaiser.
If I replace certain files in sys with ones from original wm6.0 rom (polaris), that problem goes away. Same if I make a rom for Kaiser..I take this file from the official build and replace in the ported one, the problem go away.
This issue is well known with newer ports. I really doubt HTC would release a such obvious flaw (But then again..I would not be surprised either)
I might be wrong in beliving its a fake, but I really dont belive its the final product. I dont know what source you get the rom from, and I can "eat my words" if im wrong.
I wanna add that I dont question your honesty UDK, not at all. Cause I have had my share of supply of official builds, that has turned up to be fake.
udk and itje
Gosh, if Norway and Switzerland work together, then a bomb will come out of it.
Not your opinion?
LOL
@itje: Unfortunately, this is the final release and yes, does not works well, it's run very slow and there are some lag.. the ITA version is much slower than the WWE version, but I repeat, these ROM are not fake, there is also a RUS, GER and SPA version with the same core and OEM, are all fake? I think no

Can we have a French one PLZ
Where do you find this ROM ? Have you special access on HTC club ? have you a friend who works for an operator or HTC?
If you think it is a fake rom, why not go to the HTC site and see if an official rom is available... I would do this however I have an O2 Orbit not official HTC cruise!

Both you and me can make multilanguage based on same core and OEM.
Slow and lag..all official roms I have seen has slowness and lagging.. So I didnt base my doubts on that.
Its more the booting issues that makes me wonder. But hey, I am man enough to say I was wrong, so im not gonna sit here and go on fight for something that I cant prove.
Either its this or that, we'll just see when the official hits the support pages at HTC, if it has the same issue, then we know if its the final official build or not that is here with us now

I don't think they are fake, since they are signed and flashable without HardSPL. But if they are the final release or some test/preview we don't know until they are posted on the web.
They have been available for some time already, if they indeed are the final build, why are they still not put on htc.com?
Perhaps they are going to re-package udK's Syrius or Itjes latest and release those instead.The Polaris user group would be much happier then
Spanish ROM
I´ve installed the spanish rom and if I use the original SPL it gets changed by a new one with version POLA100/3.130000/CPLD-2.
I´ve never seen that on a cooked rom.

Agree totally with you. A device such as ours last for a year. Why do you want HTC people to devote time on present and past devices ? They have already announced new generations to come within the next few months.
Still, I think my Polaris will still be useful until such time a much much better PDA comes to light.
Besides, take away XDA-developers and some other sites, do you think the manufacturers will have more creative minds? No sir, people like you and other
guys alike itje and udk are their main contributors for good ideas. Our forums are read daily by all manufacturers.
Keep it up

Yes... with 6.1, the Polaris just becomes a more stable version of itself, with some enhancements -- more of what it should've been upon release. Will definitely hold us over until WM7, at which point it'll be a good time to get a newer device

I think the reason they don't post it on the web is because not all languages are ready yet. When they post it every language should be available or there will be another problem, right ?
For now I'm using wwe (waiting for portuguese) and it works flawlessly. Ok, I don't have manilla but all radio function work, I've got voip working, I can use wmplayer with htc home (so my calls don't get everything malfunctioning while using bluetooth), and I got portuguese keyboard working (registry tweak needed). So I think it's probably the real deal. And let's face it if they released a upgrade with manilla would you buy the new touch for 600€ while you can get a polaris for 400€ nowadays? So we will be stucked with a stripped version of wm6.1 or if you look on the bright side at least is wm6.1 and stable.
Here is the TIME for Official WM6.1 on htc.com ???
I think the TIME is coming NOW !!! Because the link now not available, but only the Cruise Software site !!! I hope sooooo

@Olioaglio - you are spot on with what you say. Perhaps there are many more Hermes and Wizards in use so a bigger user base and therefore more developers? I can think of at least 4 or 5 busy Hermes cooks, so I guess like everything else the greater the interest the more innovation. I still can't believe that my Hermes is actually more responsive than my Polaris, even with less RAM and a slower processor. Although I use my Polaris for everyday use, the Hermes is great fun to play with, especially with all the 6.5 roms available.
chavonbravo and c_shekhar have been quiet for a while, as have the PDAVIET boys. Wonder what they are working on at the moment? bet it's something good, especially chavonbravo, who's 3LIT3 VI rom is the best I've ever used.

It's running nice/fast/stable on my gf's hd2, but it looks a bit dated once you've tried some of the 6.5.3 roms. Are Microsoft not releasing 6.5.3 to HTC or something? It's really strange that they don't seem to want to promote advances in the OS when android and the like are getting over the air updates to their phones. Little things like the documents tab and the eReader tab from 6.5.3 (plus the fact it's just that little bit more finger friendly) make it all a bit more exciting to show off.
Gotta love my HD2 though Is it true you can't even change the background picture on an iPhone?
