Is there any system in the numbers of the WM6.1 versions?
There are so many different Builds that nobody knows which is official, which is the latest or which is development.
Maybe somebody can explain the system (if there is one).
Excellent Question
I've always wondered this myself.
There isnt an official WM6.1 for the Hermes, development stopped a fair while back since it was superceded by the Kaiser. Soon to be again superceded by the Raphael.
Official builds have never been good anyways since the tweaks and etc....in the cooked versions were most likely found by users and not the developers at HTC/M$.
Stability and reliability all depends on the ROM, how it was cooked and also any apps which are installed.

Hi guys, me again,
I've been into the FTP 3 or 4 times in the last hour to get that Vanilla ROM but I can't find it anywhere and to be exact I can't find any ROMs anywhere. No Helmi's or Ivan's as well.
Can someone tell me what's going on or if I need to buy glasses ?
Philippe
I think the server is down as I cannot even login to it to retrieve any roms.
It's been removed at the request of Microsoft.
Unless someone leaks it somewhere else, it will not be hosted here anymore.
Not until devices are available commercially running Crossbow anyway.
Even Helmi's and Ivan's latest ROMs ?
does this also include Helmi_UNI_AKU3.5_v1.3.rar file as well.
Helmi's and Ivan's WM5 AKU3.5 ROMs have been moved to the "permanent" section:
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Universal/Cooked_ROMs/
They do not appear to be working either.
Is the entire FTP down or just so slow that my FTP program keeps timing out?
I think we could have another problem :
Yes WM6 will be released soon (March ) but will HTC/Qteck or other oem vendors release a WM6 rom for Universal ?
If they don't: will it be legal to publish an Universal ROM ?
Actually the last build is 15342 but impossible to have it
And if it's true that universal is eol , we will never see an official rom
@hanhha2000: I just clicked on the link that I posted and it took me straight to the "Cooked ROM" folder - then I tried Helmi's folder, and his latest 1.3.1 ROM, and it started downloading quickly enough....
Seems to be working well from my end.... I don't know what to suggest!?
@poussin69: WM5 was never officially released for the the BA as far as I'm aware, and Microsoft aren't too bothered about that little project, so I guess once WM6 is out and about and earning them a shedload more cash, they'll turn a blind eye to any Universal ROMs. I assume they want the previews taken down because there isn't a fully working WM6 version available, and they don't want the WM6 "brand" bad-mouthed by people who are expecting a finalised and polished OS?
As I noticed that Black no longer releasing new build (becuase the official is out) I started thinking - maybe I should go for the official...
Till now I tried SCHAPS 3.57/3.54 and D-Lite. How is the official compared to these two in terms of speed and stability? What does it come with (HTC home, what dialer, etc).
Thanks
OK, the answers to your questions can be found at http://forum.xda-developers.com/announcement.php?f=355
If the oficial roms where fast and stable we wouldn't need cooked roms would we?
Official roms are like a new major brand windows pc...they come with so much "bloatware" that you will never need. So cooked roms are custom roms built so you don't have to deal with that crap with extras. Some are "lite" editions which basicly means no extras, just the rom itself.. others throw in some very good useful apps that are widely used.
So i'd suggest not to go official.
I prefer lites because i install what i want, and almost everything can be found in a cab file somewhere in this forum.
I've been meaning to upgrade to 6.1 (is it final yet?), and since schaps seems to only post here once a month now, I decided to look into other packages.
Is the 6.1 final already? Whose build comes closest to schap's 6.0?
There is no official build of 6.1 so no it's not final and the nearest ROM to Schaps rom is Schaps beta 6.1 (4.40 I think). You can't equate any of the later ones to Schaps as that's to broad a question. Of the latest ROMS I find the latest builds on 19209 and later to be the most stable etc. You may not get a consensus on that so best things is to try a few for yourself.
NONE...All the great cooks have unique WM6.1 roms. For me, the build 19209 by DVH is excellent! As mentioned above, U need to test with your own device, carrier, radio, apps, etc.....
Is Windows Mobile 6.1 Really exists for Touch Screen

Hi,
Going through the forum, I understand that P3300 / M650 could get quite slow after being upgrade to WM 6.5 (compare to WM6 Black & Blue 4.3 for example).
=> Is it still true with the last ROM released ?
Moreover, I just read that Microsoft has officially launched today the official WM 6.5 version.
=> Can we expect that soon new modified ROM will be released based on official WM 6.5 and then expect big improvement (more stable and quicker ?)
Last point, how fast and stable is GPS on WM6.5 (using Tom Tom 7), since I am experiencing problem with my actual ROM WM6 Black & Blue 4.3 (have to "soft-reset" my HTC each time before to launch Tom Tom 7, otherwise is losing satellites after a few seconds...).
Thks a lot, Fred
=> Is it still true with the last ROM released ?
The memory management with every new build that comes out seems to be better and better. So as compared to the first beta builds, the latest RTM builds are much zippier.
=> Can we expect that soon new modified ROM will be released based on official WM 6.5 and then expect big improvement (more stable and quicker ?)
There are many ROMS out there based on 'official' 6.5 builds. The phones that ship with 6.5 have builds from the COM2 branch which have the old interface, but we also have official builds of 6.5.1, which is a COM 4 branch, and which has GUI improvements.
....it was also my doubt: how is possible that there are already so many cooked wm6.5 roms, if microsoft released it officially only yesterday?
Which is the starting point for this roms?
Some wm6.5 rom for developers?
Finally, one question directly for randythered:
I read on your sign that you "participate" to the project wm6.5 base...what is it?
And also that you include in your roms
RtR Base Version1
RtR Base Version 2
RtR Manila v1.0
RtR WM 6.5 Base v2.0 (Build 23052)
Which are the differences and which you would suggest to a "newbie" that is still running the official HTC wm6 rom?
Thank you in advance!
PS: I've seen also http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=567864
that increase my confusion
Please help me!
Thanks!!
The builds that have been coming out have been leaked out by trusted sources. Check out Development & Hacking forum.
Project 6.5 Base is what I was working on, the ROM is ready so I have to change my sig now
All those are the ROMs that I have cooked. RtR Base V2 is WM 6.1 Clean ROM, with minimal add on apps.
RtR Manilla 1.0 is a M2D ROM, similar to the HTC Touch Viva.
RtR 6.5 Base is a clean 6.5 ROM, with the latest build of 6.5 and very few add on apps for faster ROM.
The ArteMEGA is the latest ROM i've cooked, it's got software from the recently launched HTC MEGA.
If you want to flash a new ROM you have to unlock your phone first by flashing USPL. Then you can flash any ROM of your choice!
So, just to summariza, I should install:
1) RtR Manilla 1.0 if my first wish is to have the Manila (diamond style) user interface
2) RtR 6.5 Base is I don't care about HTC propetary interface, and I want the last microsoft wm with its features...light and stable since is a base.
3) ArteMEGA if I want the last microsoft wm as well as the last HTC user interface and I don't care toom uch about speed...
IT is correct?
Thanks in advance!!
Yes, that is indeed correct.
I was just going to reply with a "Yep. " but xda thinks that's too short

not quite, cause my ultralight version is speedier
come on randythered...i am still waiting
greetz
Hahaha I have to admit 31 MB program memory is WOW!
Don't know if I'll be able to manage that, but I'll definitely give it a go
Thanks for your answers !
Just to know, does the release number "23060" for the ROM W 6.5 base is a good way to know if it's clean/last version ?
Do you have a W6.5 ROM with French language support to recommand (clean / stable / speedy !) ?
Rgds, Fred
All builds are the same, it's the cooks job to make it as speedy as possible. As far as I know, the 23060 and 23420 builds have some issues with the dialog buttons, but these have been adressed. Read the latest builds thread for more info.
It's many days when Microsoft final version of Windows 6.5 is out and can someone tell me when it will be available for Trinity?
Officially HTC will never publish 6.5 ROM update for Trinity since this upgrade will only be made for few newer devices and Trinity is not among those. There are many versions (builds) of 6.5 much like there are many versions (builds) of 6.1 WinMo. Start experimenting with few 6.5 ROM made here until you find one that best suites you and your needs.

Yes, i understand this but most of the builds are old and like in Hermes forum there are many new builds available. I mean to say that when we will have such builds here too.
Thank you.

Well I have already ported the latest COM3 branch build (23071) for Trinity/P3600i, I just haven't posted any ROMs from it yet as I am currently overhauling my kitchen (although I am running my p3600i on it right now).
But here are the 23071 SYS+ROM files and you can combine them with any of the ervius Visual Kitchens that are available for Trinity (Tomme, SuperSport, Chanvi, etc ... take your pick).
Cook up a 23071 rom of your choosing
