Is there a cab of wm 6.5 start menu for use in wm 6.1 ?
dont think so, but try one of the rhodium roms, its 6.5 like (ish)
WM 6.5 has no Start menu and instead you get the hexagonal launcher. I don't think you could have it over WM6.1 but there are already a lot of 6.5 ROM builds available in this forum.
That's right, but these ROMs are still pretty slow. I tried now three different ROMs and at least on my HD they are so slow, that I prefere to change back to the smooth and fast Dutty ROMs
And I also think it would be pretty cool to have the have the 6.5 "Start menu"

Thanks for the replies guys

Maybe a little off topic; but the 6.5 Xtralight ROM by Miri is quite snappy. I just can't get with the 6.5 start menu, so I stayed with Onkolog's superlite 6.1.

i have tried many cooked roms based on wm 6.1, now i see there are many chef that are cooking their roms using wm6.5.
Who have tried both can give is impression for understand if its time to jump to wm 6.5 based roms or its better to wait future releases(maybe the offical one)???
its up to u
but I will stay with wm6.1 and wait for the official 6.5
I will suggest WM6.1 only. Fully developed, has what you need! If you're so obsessed with the hexagon start menu, got for 6.5 else wait for WM7.
Even the Pop-Up menu improvements are better in Topaz based ROMs than WM6.5

For me WM 6.5 is very nice.
When navigated through the heart of WM, 6.5 is more finger friendly. Trying both though is a must before deciding as this is once again personal preference.
Flash both and see...besides, you get to practice flashing....

what about speed(tf3d navigation),apps compatibility and stability?there are huge differences?
I find 6.5 to be a bit quicker overall and more finger friendly, the use of menus is much more intuative. Bioscoll is absolute rubbish in comparison to the kinetic scrolling of WM6.5. In drop down menus, like when changing notification settings, you can finger scroll in the drop down boxes. In email the scrolling through the email is quick and smooth as it is in text messages.
Get a 6.5 rom, make sure it doesnt have bioscroll on it and you will see the HUGE improvement.

THANX XDA GUYS FOR THE BEST ROMS EVER .
HERE YOU GO MY 2 CENTS.
GREETZ AND HAVE A NICE WEEK
I've been flashing and reflashing for months. I have thoughts on ROMs that are 6.1 and 6.5, but the ultimate question is which version suits the Diamond from all aspects? Ram has been an issue with 6.5, and 6.1 is becoming outdated yet is respected for its stability. Some opinions would help me settle on a version, and would be appreciated.
I am using Makeverals wm6.5 rom.
have tried probably every 6.5, 6.1, topaz ,Rhody rom there is.
i would never go back to 6.1 as especially with my current rom. the ram is plenty and stable, when first soft boot your task manager states 45%
for 6.5 i prefer the scroll up/down today screen. with so many brilliant xda developed plugins
the whole operating system has been overhaulled for better touch control, looks and everyday use.
as long as they dont remove to much of what makes windows mobile my preferred os, i would say try 6.5

Which 6.5 rom u use now?
just try 6.5....your be suprised
the old beta was pants for me....the new one rock!
now....i am going to close this thread as it will end in a flame war..
this kind off question always does.
have fun flashing 6.5
Hallo,
im searching for a possibility for getting the cool new 6.5 scroll mode into 6.1 roms... u know what i mean?
in 6.5 you dont have to use the scroll bar - u can scroll by tap and hold and then move your finger... is this possible in 6.1 as fluent as under 6.5?
?
As far as I know, WM6.5 has has a new "kinetic" scrolling engine. Now I'm not a ROM-cooker, but I'm guessing that this will be very hard to port to WM6.1, let alone make it installable via a .CAB ...
There's something called FTouchSL for Windows Mobile 6.1 that does about the same thing, but from what I've heard, it's quite unstable. And you have to pay for it.

Beyond that feature WM 6.5 has some more advantages. Flash one of the new ROMs and you will have a stable and reliable ROM including the new scrolling mode
There wouldnt be any point in anyone porting the engine. Considering you will almost definately have to flash a new ROM for this (if it were ported), you might aswell flash a 6.5 ROM.
Yeah i used the miri 6.5 roms for a long time... but wanted to try the ultrafast (not in my oppinion) laurentius 3.2 rom (only winmo 6.1)
But i think the winmo 6.5 is so comfortable to use - but not bugfree!
The thin i miss most is the new scroll function - everything else is ok under 6.1
im wondering which i should us nfsfans 6.1 or 6.5
are there incompatibilities with 6.5?
what are its major advantages/disavantages?
does nfsfan actually still update his 6.1 rom?
any info is appreciated
thanks
Go with 6.1
NFSFAN no longer updates 6.1, but it is much more stable than its 6.5 counterpart, runs smoother, and everything just works. My main issue with 6.5 is the marking of threaded sms messages, I text message a lot, and if the text message window is open when you receive a text it doesn't mark it as read, which I find super annoying. 6.1 all the way! Also, 6.5 doesn't add much, runs slower and is buggier and if your gonna be using Manilla on your home screen anyway you won't even notice the physical appearance difference. Go 6.1, wish he still updated it though

I tried 6.5 back in the earlier V9-10 days, I found I had grown accustomed to 6.1, that it did run a bit smoother. In the end, I didn't feel I gained anything from 6.5, so went back to 6.1. Best thing to do, test them both out. Run each for 3 or 4 days, then choose.
To each his own, but personally I love 6.5. It just seems more finger friendly than 6.1, it is still being updated, and I have yet to find any compatibility issues.
When flashed correctly, 6.5 runs smoother. Finger scrolling is much more natural and visually pleasant. It is also much more finger friendly.
I do not have any problem using V16 and all my apps are running well (TomTom GPS, CDMA dialer, text, data...)
Try them both if you wish and then make your mind but 6.5 is now very stable and most old issues have been solved or will be in V17...
I would never ever go back to old 6.1
the new v17 6.5 is the final retail version of 6.5 and is worlds faster and smoother than 6.1
actually i perfer 6.5.
wayy more finger friendly and win6.1's suretype didn't do anything good for me. i'm a texting fan, so i needed full keyboard. vibration feedback good quality to have in a touchscreen phone.
plus it looks way nicer.

The latest 23081 6.5.1 build makes 6.5 look like Windows 5.0 in terms of finger friendliness. I'm telling you, try Vin's latest 23081 build and see the future!!
I tried NFSFANS 6.5 but becasue of minimum backlight higher than stock ROM, and poor Chinese font support, now flashed back to stock WM6.1. Where is latest NFSFANS WM6.1 ? I didn't find in this forum.
Hello
I need 6.1 rom of NFSSAN.But nowhere available.Can anybody give me link or upload here?
I'm going back to 6.1 I've tried every 6.5 available here and the all have different issues, mostly just slugishness. Maybe it's not the future and maybe I flashed wrong( not really sure that's possible) but back when I ran 6.1 everything always worked and worked immediately.
Maybe my phone is messed up somehow but it just doesn't seem like it can handle 6.5

If you want speed you need to go with 6.5.X and flash Vin's 23506 ROM, that is the future.

I am not trying to market anything here, bu have you tried mine? It is pretty fast, at least from what I have been able to test.
28014 23506_v4??
Just a tad confused - Which one is the latest? 28014 or 23506_v4?
Or are these two different builds altogether?

Cool. Thx!
I really need a help for obtaining an excellent WM6.5.x ROM + <<sense 2.5>>
I've searched all WM6.5.x ROMs on XDA but i don't know which of them can be better for 'HTC TOUCH DAIMOND'
In fact ,i want "WM6.5.X CLEAN ROM+SENSE 2.5 ,STABLE,FAST AND WITH SETTING ITEM IN START MENU "
IF IT IS OFFICIAL ,IT WILL BE BETTER CERTAINLY​
THEREFORE,Please Help Me For Finding best ROM ,tanX
simple, not exist
LOL
Don't waste your time with 6.5 it is always going to be slow
Now I can tell you what a good all rounder rom is an that is the MEMO one.
I would say this as I'm helping with it but IMHO it's a keeper.
MEMO Rom
Yes, i too say that 6.5 is not for Diamond. So why u try that?
With all the options the MEMO ROM is the best one (Try it and feel it)

I'm using the latest energy rom + cookie home tab, and is fast,stable and has good graphics..there is only one problem the free ram is a bit (18-20 mb)
energy rom
Sure, energy roms, especially the latest, are bright, fast, BUT NOT LIGHT due, perhaps in a certain way to the huge amount of apps included. Things that most people does not use. I prefer using wm 6.5.5 rahter than 6.1, but today there is no light rom WITH SENSE (2.1 OR 2.5) AND WM 6.5.5. You can find a good titanium rom wm 6.5.5 (ralpfudsion ralGT1J) with plenty of free ram and stable
Hi,
First you need to understand the limitation of your equipment and specially for the ram. On my side I have tried several rom and I have normally a preference for rom 6.5.x due to my HD2. So I found a good compromised between 6.1 and 6.5.x it is a 6.5 rom (build 21907) back to basic. There is enough ram left and I can customized as I want. The other solution as stated above is to use a titanium version of 6.5.x or 6.5. I also recomand Ormet rom the 8.32 one.
Hope it will help you
I would suggest you to try out the Gen Y WWE ROM. Its a 6.1 with Sense 2.1 ROM. Pretty stable. It has a share of its own issues, but you may wanna try it out yourself. Its got a very good integration of Sense into it with a Start Menu that the Topaz (Diamond 2) shipped with.
The link.

Here you go. Try it. Its got some good features. If you are starting out new, I suggest take small steps. Rather than taking a leap into 6.5 or 6.5.x give this one a try.
What's your idea ?
tanX of all for your nice suggestions nonetheless it's better that i use WM6.1 for HTC touch diamond instead of WM6.5.X
I INSTALLED DONSALARI ROM(WM6.5) ,IT WAS NOT BAD... , however it has some features that i want
roughly OK : WM6.5.X+SENSE 2.5

I personally had issues with that rom. Diamond does not truly perform too well with it. Had it for a few days then removed it. For instance my video stuttered horribly with it and my album never even began playing H.264 videos. I could only use WMP.
I personally think you should fall back on a tweaked 6.1 ROM with Sense 2.1 or Sense 2.5. Maybe you could search for Manila cab and install it.
try the Don Salari rom dude. i think it's the best official rom n' it's very light (clean basic). good luck!
you might want to try out Benko's 6.5.3 ROMs for Diamond.
Here's the link.
