After suffering for a long time having to use the integrated keyboard instead of Touchpal due to the fact that it wasn't installing on Manila 2D I decided to go on Touchpal's official website and download the newest version (for WM 6.1, not 6.0) and it worked! I decided to share this because I've seen that there have been other people also unable to install Touchpal.
To download the newest version go to http://www.cootek.com/download_userinfo.aspx?type=Std and be sure to choose the version for WM6.1.
Hope this helps someone!
Hi all, I have WM 6.1 WWE (spanish):
rom 3.13.412.0 esn 8/24/2008
radio: 1.59.42.15
protocol 25.85.30.07H
and have had a bad experience flashing swtos 1.0 light rom: it was fast, with the gps, wifi and bluetooth working as a charm but the phone and the camera did not work and I do not want to flash new radios, older radios or muratas radios (for what I have read there are real risks here). I flashed backed the original wm 6.1 rom in spanish and everything is fine now.
I would appreciate your opinion on which rom best suits me:
- I do not want any interface or plugin such as m2d, touch home plugin, diamond, etc.
- I do not want the cube, rather re.direction to setvolume or whatever other application without loosing the kinetic scrolling.
- I want it fast and with more storage and program memory (the only drawback in the cruise, in my opinion)
- I want to use normally all the hardware in the cruise: the fm radio, album, wifi, gps, bt (parrot ck3100)
- I do not care that much about additional software included (task managers or whatever)
Is there any windows mobile 6.1. "as it is" ROM, simply removing third party programs such as IE, Opera, htc home and cube but with kinetic scrolling?
I know each rom is different and each user must try himself but I would appreciate direct opinions on the ROMs you think may suit better the description I gave
Thanks in advance
Note to the moderators: If it is not wanted posting questions like this I will remove the text.
I flashed also khanx v5.1 (vanilla) and had the same problem.
After two ours of browsing xda I found the solution. It seems is a newby usual problem:
As most newbies I have a touch cruise rev B so for whatever reason it seems most roms will not work without murata.
To check if your cruise is A or B remove the battery and check the sticker attached to the cruise:
Bar codes
IMEI : Imei code
Bar codes
S/N: HT999AA99999
Bar codes
P/N:99AAA999-99 B

Updated: for the lazy ones: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=379599&page=26
It seems you need a version of murata radio, not the oldest one. and I have read in a french forum about problems with battery drain when using this radio.
So since I do not plan to flash radio I would appreciate if anybody with a rev B cruise and radio 1.59.42.15 and wm6.1 and a light rom can share with me which one he is using.
updated:
list of roms not working with Touch Cruise rev B without replacing radio 1.59.42.15 with a murata radio.
* swtos 1.0 light rom
* bepe 0.67 opera ITA
* khanx v5.1 (vanilla)
list of roms working with Touch Cruise rev B without replacing radio 1.59.42.15 with a murata radio.
??
This one is working in my Polaris rev B, with radio 1.59.42.15
The radio is included in the ROM.
I do not understand anything but it works !!!!
Btw, it is so much faster than the HTC 6.1. official ROM and only has two really minor bugs !!!

http://rapidshare.com/files/145553749/Polaris_WWE_B_20721_Light_V096_Sept_15_08_Radio_1_59_42_15.rar
Checked my P/N and it ends with a B so I assume it is a Revision B
Anyway this rom works http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=430745 as you can see if it freezes which it did to me change Radio to 1.59.42.23
Is there anyway that i can get the newest version of the built in HTC youtube app? I have a NAM (usa version) Diamond, and the one that came with it is always crashing.
At one point, i upgraded my rom to the newest WWE, and it had an updated version that ran perfectly.
Also how about the latest build of Opera?
i tried searching around, but couldnt find anything relevant.
hi!
since i flashed deepshining 8.3 with winmobile 6.5, iGO 8.0.0.54000 doesn't work anymore. when i tap search->address and then after entering the street number, iGO freezes and can't be used anymore. this also happens after a soft-reset or running clean ram before starting iGO.
does someone have a working iGO8 on his diamond with winmobile 6.5? which version exactly do you use then? and can i use my iGO 8.0.0.54000-maps with a newer iGO8 version?
thanks a lot for your answers
I have the same version running on my phone and have been using it on many WM6.5 ROMs. Never had a problem with it. You cannot use the old maps on the newer version of iGO8.

thanks for your answer.
so what might it be then, that iGO won't run anymore? using winmobile 6.1 and rom version 1.93 my iGO worked perfectly.
maybe i should try a newer version?
The problem may be with that specific rom, I suggest you try a rom from a different chef.

1.Chainfire drivers are include in this ROM ?
2. what about radio ? 2.06 ou 2.05 ?
thanks a lot.

Guys, the new ROMs are online. For your convenience I've included Bepe's SSPL app to flash the ROM, so all that you have to do is run SSPL_RUU.exe and flash the ROM.
EDIT: Documents tab in Sense 2.5 version is not activated by default, so you need to activate it in Manage Home Screen tabs.
Enjoy,
Miri
Hi Caste23,
Chainfire drivers are not included in the ROM, you can install them by cab
You can use whatever radio you like, anyway inside the ROM the rilphone.dll is from radio 2.06. I'm using radio 2.05 myself and don't have any problems.

ok thanks !
downloading now.......
omg........ really cannot stand this!!!!!! Seeing this beauty released, but unable to flash
It will be a long wait till wednesday (only then time to flash....)
For those who flashed, any feedback? Want to know the free storage space, because the stock rom (1.61) only got like 170mb free storage space, way tooo little.....
And with the stock rom i sometimes get a freeze, random. Especially when closing opera, i think it has to do with the cache on storage card?
Oh! Very interesting to see a version with Sense 2.1! (I hate the sms messaging app in 2.5) so I think I'm going to give these a try as well
Thanks for these roms!
Fantastic! Thanks a lot.
thank you very much.great work.very nice.
tanks miri

There will be soon one in italian over @ hdblog.it
