and now how come, i didn't found it anywhere (i am a lazy searcher ) does any one have it as cab installer? Anyway i haven't seen on any of the like 10 WM 6.1 devices i had in my hand, since it was released
This home is only for smartphone with non touch screen.
Ahhhhh i'm an idiot that's a pity it's not also for normal WM, it looks really useful
I Was Just Wondering If There Is A Windows 6.1 Rom Like The One From The Dash I Really Liked That One For Some Reason So Is There One ???
is it like the 6.1 smartphone edition? i'm assuming so. yeah i really like it, it is kind of like the shadows default ROM before 6.1. i wish 6.1 looked like that for WM Professional
No. Unfortunately, CHome is not available on WM6.1 Professional.
MOD! please move to Vogue Upgrading Forum!
I just installed 6.5, but I think I am going back to 6.1
CONS
MD2 is far superior in every way, especially when it comes to email, you can view headers and check multiple accounts quickly, it is much nicer too.
I hate the fact that I cant quickly access my recently used programs.
PROS
it feels a bit faster
Bottom Line
I really think that 6.5 is no big deal, just a bit of eye candy, its funny how microsoft paid big bucks for fashion designers to design some themes instead of investing a couple of thousand dollars for a decent UI expert, they never cease to amaze me with their stupidity.
it is a shame that everybody is going along with it, as if this is the next big thing, it is really a very small baby step. MD2 not to speak of MD3 are far superior in every way.
Have I missed something? What do you guys think?
Which version of 6.5 did you install? The one nfsfan cooked up has m2d in it and thats what iam using... 6.5 w/ m2d as the GUI... i have noticed everything on my phone seems much easier/faster to work. No way id go back to 6.1...

Really? I am gonna try this. Last time I tried 6.5, I did not see M2D
just try nfsfans v8 6.5 rom, if that isnt a good enough reason for you to keep 6.5, then you need to switch to a crackberry
yup... under the today options...uncheck the default and check touchflo...
I didnt like the 6.5 gui either and went straight back to m2d in the options. Just updated to v8 for 6.5 a few moments ago and the options are there... I believe nfsfan had it in is roms for the last few versions...

I use his rom, but MD2 is buggy in 6.5 (i tried v8 too)
I loved his ROM , it's best of both world, but i mainly use M2D , and also SPB Shell 3 , switch it back and forth.
I switched back to 6.1 simply because I hated 6.5's UI on the Today screen.

Buggy in which way? Can you eleborate?
I was using v6 r2 for almost two weeks and it was rock solid...then i switched over to v8 just the other day and again.... rock solid. If you find it "buggy" in his release you should make note of it so he can work on it and try and resolve those issues...
Personally it feels like m2d w6.1 but faster and more stable. Launching Garmin would take some time before hand, and now with 6.5, is 10x faster...
i dont particularly like the large icon start menu. is there anyway to change it to a smaller view of the icons?
I went back to 6.1.
Slingbox Mobile looks like ass using 6.5 unless I disabled both the 6.5 GUI and M2D. It's a big deal for me cause I use Sling a lot. Memory issues somewhere.
Other than that, I think 6.5 with M2D worked pretty good.

I don't know when you encountered that screen glitch, but I experienced a similar issue with NFSFAN's 6.5 rom after I changed themes. A soft reset always cleared up the problem for me.

What versions are you using?
Slingplayer mobile currently has these version that were just released
* SlingPlayer Mobile for Windows Pocket PC 1.6.0.114 (US)
* SlingPlayer Mobile for Windows Smartphone 1.6.0.62 (US)
* SlingPlayer Mobile for Palm OS 1.00.22 (US)
* Windows Mobile Downloads (UK)
As for an application not working correctly with a pre-release version of WinMO, thats hardly the Chefs fault as the Application might not have a version to even look at yet let alone develop for
What versions of WinMO 6.5 have you tried - different Chefs utilize different kitchens and different items and tweaks as well so without trying all of them you really dont know if one wouldnt work or all wouldnt
Up to you if you want the time to spend with it I dont use it as if I want to watch television, I watch it, if Im out and cant watch some show or event, well thats what bittorrent or hulu is for LOL

have to agree here - thats an incompatible version of some theme on that ROM
Have seen it a few times myself, not the ROM thats for sure as it didnt occur when you first flashed and used the device, just after something was installed

Is it possible to have the combination clock\weather on your home screen with window mobile 6.1?
They've been working on that forever... so far it seems you need one of two things... the first being WM 6.5. Second either a Sense 2.1 OR manilla 2.5 rom running. I dont know if they have made any sense 2.1 or manilla 2.5 for wm 6.1. To date, other then flashing to a rom that has those things I mentioned above, there doesnt seem to be a way to get the clock you are asking for.
I should actually point out there ARE ways of having the weather clock... however NOT in Manilla running over a wm 6.1 stock rom. You could try one of the many other UI's out there though. I know that PointUi has this feature... well one of themes/plugins has that ability..... most notibly the Sense theme.
You should give this a go http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=618063
Tried it myself and it runs very well indeed
was wondering if it is possible to get WinMO 6.5 messages(like on the HD) on WM 6.1. Just wondering since i like 6.5 better but it makes my TP2 freezes from time to time
dont the messaging look the same in both 6.1 and 6.5?
as far as i can remember... they do.
unless you are talking about 6.5 with manila 2.5.
in which case... you are talking about htc message client?
