I've got Dheewatara-s' latest but there's too much stuff added on that I don't want or can take off.
It also begs the question on how far we can go with modifications and settings for the interface and other stuff. It's not like there's a manual of windows mobile 6.5.
6.5 is similar to 6.1, so u can edit most of the stuff manually, i use total commander for registry editing.
Cheers.
Look here: Thanks for sheen

Many of you who flashed WM6.5 are happy with Titanium but face the problem of decide to keep better looking and fresh WM6.5 Titanium or going back to dull Manila because of its better functionality accessing applications.
I am happy with Titanium since i installed Touch Commander and got two scrolling pages, one scrolling up for Photo Contacts and another scrolling left or right for applications, links or folder access.
I suggest everybody facing this situation to try it and will never want to go back
Manilla vs wm6.5
thanx for u comment i think if the rom is fast and steady why chanced
better look ???new drivers new interface,better performance really don't know i
very happy whit manilla of course not the standard one
any screens/vids of what this might look like?
I don't think manilla is dull, I actually lik the GUI better than WM home page since it is cleaner and slicker, and has functionality at every tab rather than just one giant menu with small rectangular blocks that you cant fit anything inside of. It will just take you longer to do what you wanna do.
I want to wait for a speedy, stable WM 6.5 rom with TF3D2 from the Topaz ROM HTC finalized and fixed the major issues in. I that they cleaned up the scrolling bars and tabs found in the uglier WM 6.1! But the menu enhancements on the new Topaz rival the finger friendlier menus of WM 6.5 in my opinion.
Just my two cents but you sound pretty ecstatic about the marriage of WM 6.5 with Touch Commander so I am curious what that looks like, how it performs, etc.
looks are debatable; but titanium definitely feels much more responsive than manila (rhodium or otherwise)
it'd be nice to get manila up to that speed; or at least add in little things to titanium onto the main wm tabs (like weather)
but i think u can hv both Manila and Titanium from WM 6.5 at the same time
i flashed a WM6.5 rom with XBMod Rhodium Manila installed, and it works fine except for the Windows Live Application
I am liking titanium and I think it will be better than manila in the end one more and more tabs become avalible for it.
I think Manila2 > Titanium > Manila
I just love the extra facebook functionanlity of the Rodium manila and HTCs music player is much better to use when compared to WMP, the calender is prettier on Manila 2, as is the contact launcher.
I just love titanium, but i miss some thing from it.
Here it is my thread about it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=503045
Actually im begining to prefer titanium now, the fact that it doesnt hog the memory anywhere near as much and you can customise it quite a bit is good. I think that alot of extra tabs will start to appear soon and I will definetly be using it over manila
I never liked manila in the first place.
Sloppy.
Titanium uses only ~3Mb of RAM and the ease of access to base apps > manila.
It's relatively easy to skin the basic components. Some ppl have begun doing it.
Just decompile a WM6.5 theme (it's basically a CAB), study the install xml and you'll know all there is to know to get you started.

thanks for the help
PHM Regedit is on the new ROM by NRGZ28. It's freeware and can be downloaded from here -

Any help?
** EDIT **
I am an idiot because I only half read your post before replying. Please feel free to laugh and point whilst dancing around me with your friends and any strangers who happen to be around.
In my own defence, I have done this sort of thing before so, really, you should know better than to take much notice of me.
phm regedit is an editor, i want a MONITOR to be in background listening to all changes/acess that the OS and other programs do.
I know.
You only read half my post and missed the edit.
Is this the sort of thing you mean? - http://downloads.zdnet.com/abstract.aspx?docid=445617
Or this - http://www.torchsoft.com/en/rw_information.html - works over ActiveSync.

I've not heard of a program that will monitor the registry in real-time. But SKTracker will let you take before and after snapshots, and will list out all changes. I've used it before to watch for changes made after configuring my device, and after installing app's to see what goes where.
Hi folks
I've been using WM devices for some years now but I've never gotten into the upgrading side of the operating system. I recently got a TP2 on T-mobile and I'm wanting to jazz it up a lil with fresher icons etc. Can anyone reccomend any good upgrades/updates that are easy to install?
Many thanks!!
Do a search on this TP2 forum and you'll find a lot of upgrades for the icons
Go to the Rhodium apps, themes, software, etc sub forum & search. lots of stuff there. also the PPCGeeks forum has a lot of themese
look up HDwall. you can use it to make background cab files and slider cab files. the .cab files just make it easy to install. copy to device and run.

Flash HardSPL and load NRGZ28's Genesis WinMo 6.5 rom. It is fantastic. You won't regret it.
Plus, WinMo 6.5 is MUCH more finger friendly.
Hello,
I am looking for some friendly advice from the users of this forum. I am not new to flashing ROMS and have spent a little time in the kitchen myself, but it has been awhile and well I have some questions...
WM 6.5 vs 6.5.1:
Okay so as I understand it these are my options when it comes to OS. It looks like the two popular ROMS are using 6.5.1 and from what I have read it is better than 6.5. Thoughts?
Titanium vs. Manila:
More detail below, but can I install both of these plugins separately without them being baked in? Perhaps there is a good, solid WM 6.5.1 basic ROM and then I could add the today plugins as I see fit?What comes stock with WM 6.5/.1? Titanium or Manila? I really want a good solid up-to-date base ROM I can fiddle with a little. Suggestions?
Titanium:
I think this looks and feels slick, but for me to find it useful I need to apply the [APR 29][WM6.5] WM 7 Titanium Project - beta6.9 mod. This has its own issues with the weather and icons and in the thread it says don't use the CAB attached, but I have yet to find a more recent version if there is one. The biggest feature I like from this is the grouped notification panel. Having all my notifications in one spot make all the difference to me. Also being able to have the view set to the top of the screen is pretty damn nice.
Anyone know if I can add the nonfiction panel and lock the view at the top without this mod?
TouchFlo/Manila 2D and M2D 2.0:
If I cannot accomplish the above and if the mod continues to be flaky I will be back to the more traditional today plugin. I have to say I am not thrilled with the default Manila 2.0 (or whatever the newest version is), but it does appear that modifying the basic skin is fairly straight forward, is this correct? Is the new version my only choice or should I say moving forward. Are most new ROMS going to use the newest Manila?
So which ROM should I go with? Here is what I have tried:
NFSFAN's 6.5 21864 SYS/XIP V1.00 GENERIC CARRIER ROM
vin's - 11/07/09Wm 6.5.1 SYS 23504,23081 Titanium+Manila in 1 ROM. Looks like he posted an update yesterday, maybe I'll give it a go.
I have also looked at vin's WM 6.5,WM6.5.1 MANILA ROMs SYS 23081 & 23016 NO TITANIUM, but I have not tried it yet. And what is the difference between RED and BLUE?
Your comments & feedback are appreciated - thanks!
Titanium comes with OS from MS,Manila-from HTC.
6.5 officially released (not for vogue,though)
6.5.1-beta
Hello there. I know that WM 6.1 is pretty much dead, but i'm still using it cause 6.5 isn't as fast as 6.1 on Blackstone. I've searched a couple of forums for a decent taskbar, couldn't find something to suit my taste, but instead i found an interesting taskbar for WM 6.5 which fits and works almost perfect, except for the "x" and "ok" buttons which show as a white square, due to the difference between the WM 6.1 and the WM 6.5 OS. If anyone who's a savvy in taskbars could help me and point me in the right direction to edit those 2 files and settings in the cab file in order to replace them with the default ones or any other files, i'd appreciate it. Below i attached 2 screenshots of the taskbar to see what i'm talking about. Thanks
P.S. Modified it. No further assistance needed.

Someone from another forum modified it for me. I posted the taskbar for wm 6.1 in Windows mobile themes section. Here's the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1086646
