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

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
Regards,
Carty..
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

Hi, I like the Windows Mobile 6.5 menu's the best. I like how I can scroll up and down by swiping my finger...you can't do that in 6.1
I don't want to install the ROM...besides I hate the Windows 6.5 start menu....is there an option in 6.5 to disable the start menu and use the classical one?
Also can someone tell me where to get the new 6.5 menus?
try this. It is a bit slow though
Thanks Darfri.
Does anyone have the Windows Mobile 6.5 version?
Does anyone know how to disable the Windows Mobile 6.5 start menu [not disabling by removing througt ROM but by Windows settings]?
If you want a better start menu in the WM 6.5: use QuickMenu:

This app can coexist with the new WM 6.5 start menu.
I like the quickmenu. Only it is hard to control with your finger. Thats the problem.

I am looking for Start Menu 6.5
As the title goes.. Did u really like the new Windows 6.5 ?
I tried to change my attitude positively so much but still couldn..
I feel 6.1 is still better ..
I DIN'T LIKE IT ... What about you ? Which Rom are you using currently ??
Haven't tried the "official" release, but many,many cooked flavors
and think it kinda hohum. Not that much of an upgrade if any really.
6.1 is fine and does what I need. Not sure if I'll try the "official".

Not much has changed from 6.1 to 6.5.
The two things that really catch the eye are:
- the new start menu
- the new lock screen
Both things are far better than with 6.1 so I prefer 6.5.

What is it that is in WM6.5 that you don't like. Many said that WM6.5 is like WM6.1. What are the changes in WM6.5 that you don't?
Personally, I'm ecstatic about WM6.5. WM6.1 had an 8 email account limit. That was a bummer for me since I have about a dozen that I would like to check on my phone and SMS, MMS, and Outlook counted against the eight. WM6.5 doesn't have the limit (that I have found). I have 12 email account configured and the "add email account" button is still active.
yea, 6.5 is prettier because its not them ugly white backgrounds in the programs and settings options, but really no actual difference......... but, id say 6.5 for being prettier.......

More importantly, what is in 6.1 that they like so much? As far as I see it, anyone that would take 6.1 over 6.5 is stupid AND crazy (provided 6.5 is free).
Hmm, let's see... do I want the clunkly, old looking, non-fingerfriendly 6.1 or do I want the newer, less clunky, fingerfriendly 6.5? No brainer.
Do I lose anything 6.1 had? No. Do I gain anything good? Yes. Does anything change for the worse? No. Again, no brainer...
Granted 6.5 isn't revolutionary, but it is evolutionary.
Anyhow, the 6.5 haters/6.1 lovers are probably lame ass Windows XP lovers/Windows 7 haters or people that don't actually understand technology. Probably old people actually. Also, what's with talking about 6.5 in the past tense?
WM6.5 is so much more finger friendly. i rarely find myself taking out the stylus anymore, which is great.
I have been reluctant to use 6.5 simply because of the new Start Menu. I'm not a big fan of the offset layout. I don't know why, but the layout makes me really confused. Seriously, don't ask me why...
But I like everything else about 6.5 (ie, the lock screen and the finger friendly features).
I wish there was a 6.5 ROM that uses Manila 2.1 with the HTC Start Menu...
My biggest pro is the capility to lock the screen without having to install 3rd party apps that chow battery life.
Hello Folks,
even though I risk to become the #1 target of ridicule here, allow me to announce that I want Windows Mobile 6.1 back...and a stylus.
For productive usage, nothing beats a stylus. Tapping small items, etc... . And the new start menu is a PITA too...
What do you think?
why do you want it back? just keep it! It won't eat up itself. I hate it to be honest.... never used the traditional WM homescreen. Hate the old start menu. And hate to pull out the stylus for every move. I'm so happy they moved to start menu to the bottom and you never again need to get out the styles to only close an app because you couldn't hit the f...g X with your fingers....
No Of course
The reason is very simple
Some good build WM 6.5 with Manila 2.1 Sense can be simple fast like WM 6.1
So i don`t like the Old Start Menu and all ugly Apperiance.. and i wonder WOW when i by my Blackstone with the Stock ROM how do i like this device befor?... maybe because i didn`t have alternative and didn`t know about the new Windows
the 21XXX are really Stable and Fast.. so i can Enjoy Everyday Use with Eye Candy
Have you been drinking today? WM 6/6.1 was once the WORST things that ever happened to Microsoft

In my WM6.5 ROM build 21893, I pushed to make it resemble WM6.1 as closely as possible. I've already figured out how to remove the WM6.5 lockscreen and use the one from 6.1 but I'm still trying to figure out how to replace the start menu with WM6.1's start menu. I like a lot of the features of 6.5 but hands down, 6.1 is just so much faster and more stable.

unless someone is forcing a new phone into your hand u can keep 6.x wm as long as the hardware lives in the device!!
untill you actually use WP7 keep and open mind!!
well i donot really want it for regulary use for sure but would love to try a classic version just for fun. although i doubt how my hd2 will react to it
it'll b like feeding my rottweiler beast with a small toast of egg.

I like WM6.1 style too (now using WM6.5, but it's for testing only)
I'm going back to 6.1 as soon as I find the right ROM. I really appreciate what everyone has done with 6.5 but 6.1 works better for what I use my phone for.
So far nothing I've heard about 7 has told me it would be anything but worse.
I upgraded my TP2 to WM 6.5 and I have to say I didn't like it so I've but it back to the stock 6.1 ROM and it'll stay that way until I get a WP7!
all those who want the return of 6.1 are not consistent. Here we are on a website developement. and consequently. it means changing things .6.1 is part of the Jurassic era .. this is only my opinion

What he said ^
I won't go back to 6.1 as there is little to no ROM support these days, but i do like having more info on the screen, all this "finger friendly" stuff actually slows me down. I do like what has been done with kinetic finger scrolling, but fail to understand why all my fonts and icons have to be so damn big. If we are running resistive screens, we should at least be able to take advantage of precision.
winmo 6.1 really suck

IMO 6.1 was great.... until they released 6.5
Now that I have it I can't image switching back to stylus usage and having start menu on top is horrendous!!!

Yep, more stable and faster in my opinion
I've just gone back to 6.1.
I was using Android for over a year and more and more I've been missing WM.
So, I got myself a cheap Touch 3G, installed 6.5.3 on it, played for a few days, got annoyed with the stupid layout of things, and installed 6.1 back on it.
I've really missed it.
on my device (toshiba g810) WM 6.5 28014 works as good as WM 6.1
