can we use wm 6.1 on x2? how?
6.5 is too slow, i like wm 6.1 system, most software could run on it, i want it so much, help!~ help!~ ^_^
That's not possible with this device. There aren't even good cooked 6.5 ROM's. You have to use 6.5 which is probably a good thing because it's much better than 6.1. I had an HTC Tilt which ran 6.0/6.1 originally and 6.5 ROM's only improved performance, didn't make it worse. Make sure you're running the latest official/clean ROM using the guides in this forum and you will be maximizing the performance of the X2.
thanks a lot, i'll try to get used to that. ^^

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 there some kinda plugin for the WM 6.1 to get the WM 6.5 today plugin/home screen? Perfect would be a cab which installs this as an object in the Today list!
Anyone knows where to find it - or make it?
Mmmm...
As far as I'm aware, Titanium (WM6.5 home screen) doesn't run on 6.1
Ummm...
Okay... Was kinda hoping some one would be able to "re-create" it as a today plugin for WM 6.1....! It is mostly grahics, so...

Not the case. I'd imagine there are dependancies on 6.5 that aren't compatible with 6.1. Not to mention it's not just 'mostly graphics'. That'd be the easiest bit. There'd be a ****-load of code crammed in that. Look at all the different things it can do.
Why don't you just flash a 6.5 ROM? It's pretty much retail quality as it is now. M$ are claiming 6.5 is done and we have the latest builds. It simply makes no sense why you'd want to go backwards for just the UI?
Not really worth the effort of making it since you could just go install 6.5
Or just wait a bit longer if the latest version we have isn't exactky complete.
Hehe, well, I definitely see your point. But all the WM6.5 ROMs for Diamond that I found, didn't seem to be working 100 % (but more like 90 %...).
But if it's as ready as you claim, I guess I'll get my ass going and upgrade! I believe it's possible to get TF3D for 6.5 as well?

Ey, this looks great! Maybe I'll try it out...! Thanks, man!
hello everybody.
I have been absent for so long time but I was too busy to follow up all your work guys.
I have 2 simple questions that couldnt be answered by a little search I did.
I am looking for the fastest more stable and plain wm 6.5 rom with only touch flo 3d on it.
I am not a heavy user of this pda. It is mostly used as a simple phone and a gps navigator using destinator 7. (i may switch to i-go 8 in the near future)
I really do basic stuff so I really dont need all the nice goodies you preinstall on the cooked roms I have read about.
i forgot to mention that i currently have my touch cruise with
official rom wm 6.1 3.13.405.0 WWE
radio 1.59.42.15
Any help?
p.s. sorry if my search wasnt good enough but I was absent for a year and a half and it seems really difficult to discover the exact things I am asking.
cheerios
hm......i have succesfully installed hard-spl and also succesfully installed latest radio rom 1.59.46.12
i also installed succesfully pcarvalho's rom. now only thing to do is to find a clean 6.5 rom. I saw that installing the driver for touch flo 3d is really easy.
sigh...i feel sleepy now but at least i didnt bother any of you guys with my silly first questions
I'm not a pro here but have been following that 3D driver development for Polaris and tested that TF3D port on my Cruise. Unfortunately current TF3D on Polaris is good only for testing/fun/lulz/whatever and a lot of headache in everyday use (the first second I saw it, I knew I couldn't live with that slowness and bugness every day ).
My unpretentious advice is you better get latest pcarvalho's 6.5 rom (usin it for everyday - works good) and install Manila 2D v2.0 from HTC Mega on top of that. You may also consider the Kostas244-Rom with Manila 2D v.2 already cooked in there. As for those tons of extra stuff - I don't need it either but just don't mind it being there if it doesn't hit RAM or processor time too hard
P.S. My opinion is the dream of properly working TF3D on Polaris will never come true :sigh
Cheers!
thanks for the response mate.
I will try kostas's rom later this week.for now i am pleased in general with pcarvalho's one.
Please let us know how you get on - I would like to do the same thing.
with full wm6.5 coming out now, I'd like a clean light 6.5 too.
Need more memory.
Just the plain stuff, with .net and not so many apps installed, just the defaults from htc like opera and quickgps.
I've had my TD2 for a few months now and notice that I can get the 6.5 updgrade from the HTS site but is it worth upgarading ? I'm happy with my phone as is - but find some of the sub menus tricky due to small icons etc.
Secondly whilst I've installed a few apps I'm wondering how easy and safe is it and will I lose all my apps. I use spb back up so will that allow me to re-install everything in 6.5?
Sorry for so many questions but dont want to brick my phone I'm no techie and just need some advice
Cheers guys
Well, let me put it this way.
I went from official 6.1, to official 6.5, then flashed a couple of cooked 6.5 roms and now im back to official 6.1 again.
And about your backup I have no clue sorry.
What apps are you referring to?
Some may be back'ed up, others cant.
As for the WM6.5 I think that it's way better than 6.1
Where can i get the official 6.1 rom?

I have a number of spb apps weather, wireless monitor, wallet, sprite backup ,quads(sorry not spb as stated does that make a difference?) and terminator,pocket informant, resco file explorer, divx player, td2 tools and a few games most I think stored on memory card
drax0r - Can I ask why you switched back?
If you still have the files, you can just transfer them to you computer, and later to your phone. I like wm6.5 on my TD2, but switched from 6.5 back to 6.1 on my ipaq, as the screen wasn't sensitive enough for the gestures, and 6.1 was finger friendly enough on a 4 inch screen

Me too.
Too much battery drain, RAM running 80% or more, phone feels more sluggish.. WM6.1 feels much much faster than WM6.5. Plus there are some bugs like battery info not working.

Reasons why I switched back are answered above.
6.5 drains so much more battery, I have to charge every night.
Phone feels more sluggish, and there are so many bugs in 6.5 right now.
Im happy with 6.1. I bet most users would be too.

Just download the official rom from the htc page and flash it.
i have upgraded to wm 6.5 and my diamond 2 runs better than with 6.1. battery consuming works better with 6.5
thanks guys think I'll leave well alone especially after reading other thread and no one has come on saying that WM6.5 is worth the issues it creates for X, Y or Z
