dear guys, i know you are the best in upgrading our smartphones, do you know if there is, or soon will be an upgrade to wm6.1 for s620???
tnx
Not yet.. but I think that soon it will come to S620.
We are all waiting for this update
I actually got to play with a Windows Mobile 6.1 Dash but it still seemed to lag a fair amount. Just had a flashier home screen. Everything seemed to be the same. They added Copy and Paste as well.

Oh man that's great news!!! I am excited. At least that confirms that there is a very high chance we will have to upgrade. Hopefully it will become more stable and not have memory leaks.
Thanks Jamerican....
did you check the new PIE how is it, does it have flash???
How about threaded sms like the PPC version has??
i'm actually really curious about wm6.1 too. I know it's out already, so where are the ROMs at? BTW, does anyone have access to HTC's downloads for the S620-621? When I attempted to register my unit with the serial # at their site, it wouldn't let me since it knew it was T-Mo Dash instead.
EDIT: well a quick search on google yielded this interesting result:
http://www.brighthand.com/default.asp?newsID=13800
I guess that's why we're not seeing any wm6.1 devices anytime soon...
even so, here at xda-developers you can see upgrades to 6.1 for some devices, so i guess we´ll just have to wait a little bit, but its going yo be here i´m sure
Google is your friend. Many websites have covered the new WM6.1 features. Basically it comes out to these:
* Threaded SMS - A Chat like function for your SMS Inbox
* Zoom out in Pocket IE - Enables Page overview mode and better navigation
* One Note included in Office Mobile
* Running Programs tab in Settings > Memory replaced to a better Task Manager. (But the previous running programs tab was much simple and easier)
* A new Managed Programs menu
As you can see, no mention of flash incorporation in PIE. Personally, I won't upgrade until it is as fast as the HTC ROM I'm using now. I am, however, really excited about threaded SMS.
wm6.1 does exist for the dash.
Lets put it this way. People have HTC excalibur running wm6.1. 6.1 adds a new home screen, better IE (much better IE), copy & paste, new version of active sync, etc, etc. WM6.1 is also faster. I'm not sure when this will be avaliable to everyone... but it does exist.
Actually I tried it at a M$ event at my school. The lady said it would take at least 10 months for consumers to see it. That does not include carrier customization etc. Pissed me off.

Yup, i'll vouch for this. I have open touch v3 on my wing and love it. Sometimes i like to go out with my dash since its slimmer and wow its like night and day how slow it is. Even with the new HTC rom that was posted...
Am I missing something here? When did the Wing get a system that isnt released yet? I am confused

WM 6.1 is alive and well on the PPC platform. First batch of WM 6.1 Professional ROMs hit the scene about a week and a half ago and I may be wrong about this but I believe the wing (HTC Herald) was the first to get it from our fine chefs here on XDA-DEV. Still waiting on a 6.1 Standard version for our favorite non-touchscreen devices (HTC Excalibur etc)...
Also don't forget that fortunately/unfortunately the touchscreen devices are way more popular than the non-touchscreen devices.
Personally I believe my T-Mobile Dash running the HTC ship rom is way more stable than any other Windows Mobile device I have ever owned, and I've had quite a few as can be seen in my sig.
Thats interesting, I had no idea!
I don't want to waste time flashing my Dash with a cooked 6.0 ROM (HTC ROM) if 6.1 is only a few weeks away. Any estimate from the ROM cookers on a 6.1 release for the Dash?

HTC begins shipping its Diamond handset with updated TouchFLO interface.
One of HTC's Diamond key selling points is its TouchFLO 3D interface, which brings a new way to scroll through contacts, browse the Internet, and the like. However, unfortunately, performance has been generally sluggish. HTC looks to remedy this, by releasing a newer version of the interface on new Touches. The newer version of the interface looks to bring an significant speed-boost to the table. There is no word if current owners will be able to upgrade to the new version as of yet.
source: Mobile-Review
Does anybody have their hands on this updated version? Or at least some more info about it - version number, included in new rom, performance video etc.
If this is true this wil be verry handy. I recently order my diamond, however it was sold out. New shipment is expected in early July, so maybe i get a new version
Ive just ugraded my ROM to version 1.37.405.1 WWE and can confim that touchflo 3D runs much more smoothly!
I would suggest version 1.37.456.2
It is newer with some new versions of programs and much faster!!!
Hmmmm i wonder if they are talking about the 1.37.456.2 ROM or about something different and newer... w8 n see i guess
I am using my diamond in the US, which WWE ROM are you using, and more important where did u downloaded it ?
honestly guys this has NOTHING TODO WITH ROM DEVELOPMENT!!!
jesus lets try and post this in the correct forums.

Apologies, but I thought it'll be usefull information for you guys cooking roms. Move it to the general Diamond section if you wish.
Still no news on this theme? Seeming that the O2 versions of the diamond are shipping in more countries every day i would think that the new touchflo version has appeared somewhere...
I sure hope this is the correct forum for this post. If it is not please excuse me for improper placing.
Way back when in 2007 I purchased an HTC Tytn and immediately found this website and was able to unlock the Tytn and was able to successfully upgrade to Windows Mobile 6.0 Professional - I believe I also upgraded my antena as well. I also found some cool weather app or something.
Since then I have not messed with the phone at all - in actuality it has been inactive for large periods of time. Well fast forward to 2009 and I am looking to upgrade this to 6.1 or 6.5.
There seems to be a plethora of options and posts out there - could anyone point me to a good stable working upgrade? As well as advice on any new cool APPS / Programs that they would recommend - that may have been developed in the past 1.5 yrs?
I thank you for your time in advanced.
Upgrading to 6.1 or 6.5
Good morning,
Well, you're probably going to be flashing a lot, since there are many new builds available since you've been gone. You'll find there is not going to be one that is an overwhelming recommendation, as much is personal preference.
That said, before you do anymore flashing, make sure you have the hardspl done and also that you have downloaded a stripped ROM, both of which you can find many places here.
There doesn't seem to be much difference between standard 6.0 and 6.1. I would suggest trying a few of the 6.5 builds, they are much more exciting and add new life to our phones. TAI_Sw has been churning out more ROMS than McDonalds has hamburgers lately - I would try one of those first.
You'll notice the today screen is much different, the interface is called Titanium - I personally don't like it, so the first thing I do is go into Settings, Today, and take that out and check the items I like. Besides the Titanium, some of the ROMS have Manilla, which is another cool option, and FCW has a newer ROM with a PointUI cooked in, another neat interface.
Bottom line, I believe you'll be happier with 6.5, which build is purely a personal choice. In any event, have fun flashing over and over until you find something you're happy with.
Best Regards.
Well I thank you for your reply. I have acquired the HARDSPL download from the sticky. As for the stripped rom - I seem to be lost at this point I have done a few searches but have not come up with much. Is this stripped rom specific to your carrier/provider? I am with a Canadian Carrier Rogers Wireless - I did see Tai_Sw reference a stripped rom for At&T. Hmmm?
Thoughts? Thanks for the heads up on WM 6.5 - I will definately narrow my focus to the 6.5 variety (just got to sift through the thousands of posts - to find a download for 6.5)
6.5 Links
I would stick to the first two pages of posts, that is if you're sorting your posts by the most recent activity. Read the comments toward the end of each post to see if there have been any problems with a specific ROM. I don't think it would be a problem using the AT&T stripped ROM, as you're immediately going to flash another, so carrier settings are not important.
I've played with 6.5 a little bit. Had it on my 8525 for a few days. It always feels slow in comparison to 6.1 for me. It takes a lot of memory to run. Keep in mind that it is still in beta at Microsoft, so anything you flash is going to have bugs, regardless of the tremendous talents of the chefs here.
The IE in WM6.5 is REALLY slow. There have been a few complaints about that and I concure. If you want fast and stable, I'd stick with 6.1 for a little while longer. I'm sure 6.5 will be much better when Microsoft finalizes it (or at least hits release candidate status). For now though, it is just too BUGGY.
Also, 6.5 probably has a time limit on it right now. I'm guessing it won't go away till someone finds it and removes the time limit, or when 6.5 comes out of beta.

on the other hand theres some good things coming out of 6.5 now and the official release is due soon so as for the timebomb built in there shouldnt be a problem. dispite its bugs i think 6.5 is a worthy upgrade and will become better as time goes on and new builds come out for us to play with.
Can you upgrade and then downgrade?
Ive just started flashing for the first time (ive already successfully flashed two 6.1 roms) and i have a question about upgrading from 6.1 to 6.5. Once you upgrade to 6.5 can you easily go back to 6.1 just by flashing a 6.1 rom? I know it seems like a simple question but ive looked around and havent seen any answers to it yet. Also, is flashing the 6.5 rom just the same as flashing a 6.1 rom or is there something else i would need to do?

It's all the same. You can flash any rom you want (as long as you have hardspl!).

thanks! just flashed a 6.5 rom on my touch pro and it rocks!
the time-limit on WM6.5 is true. i am currently using WM6.5 on a Treo750 and last week I noticed (with a lot of others) that this version of WM6.5 will stop functioning on 01-july 2009!
Hopefully we can find a 'way-around' this...
I am open for suggestions

I really wouldn't flash a hermes rom to it! Might need to do a bit more research first!
Greetings,
As all of us know that HTC officially releases WM6.5 to the Rhodium, .... even the new Touch Pro2 comes pre-loaded with WM6.5 instead of WM6.1.
My question is, does this version (HTC Stock WM6.5) have Sense (with the weather animation above the clock and colored icons), or the plain TouchFlo3D (Bi-Color icons and no weather animation on the clock)
I am quite sure they would use the same WM 6.5 ROM as is on their website, so I'm 99.9% sure it will have Sense 2.1. If not it won't take more than a couple mins downloading it and flashing before setting up your new TP2.
Again, I really can't see why they wouldn't include Sense 2.1 in it. It wouldn't make any.
Sense, yeah. Gaw, I'm hilarious. Happy new year!

Hi irkan,
Installed HTC 6.5 AU version on my T7381 (via hard spl) and yes it does have Sense, was surprised as only thought cooked roms had ported from leo... so weather is on home screen and icons are coloured .... also Microsoft Voice command works over bluetooth headset which did not on 6.1

Really? Great news, i too thought that official sense comes only to the HD2. so i assume the landscape mode of the TP2 sense is officially supported and works flawlessly, thanx!
It is Sense 2.1, which a bit more limited compared to the Sense 2.5 from the Leo.

do not know version but 2.5 is from Leo (with landscape issues todate) so would say yes it is 2.1 ...
I could see there's some confusion.
Sense2.1 isn't from the Leo (HD2). That's why there's landscape support (landscape support was always present in Sense 2.1). It's just a small upgrade from TouchFlo3D (Manila 2.0); it upgrades to Sense 2.1 (aka Manila 2.1).
As of now, Sense 2.5 is still *officially* known to run only on the HD2. And, Sense 2.5 now has official HTC landscape support; however, 3 tabs are still not fully supported.
*And, I'm sure the stock WWE Rhodium with WM6.5 will have Sense 2.1.
Might be out of topic here but does anyone know how to activate the weather background like in sense 2.5? or is it even possible yet?
Been searching but couldnt find any links to it. Yesterday i saw someone on youtube posted up a video of official TP2 6.5 ROM with the weather background and i thought it was availale but it wasn't. Couldnt find the video again too

I remember in the old EnergyROMs (Manila2.1), I went to Settings Tab > Personalize > Home Wallpaper > when it asked me "Set default?", I said yes.
I think that was cooked in by NRG, though.

yea, i just upgraded mine from the official 6.1 to the official 6.5.
in mine it's only settings tab > Wallpaper > and after i changed it, then it will ask whether i would like to change it back to default > Yes.
But its only dark background in the home screen, i dont see any animated wallpaper thing. So is it not included on the official 6.5 rom?
I have the TP2 bought in Saudi Arabia. I recently Hard-SPl it and thus was able to install the Hong Kong version of Win6.5, 1.86.721.4(67102) WWE. And it does have the weather animation on the home page. How can i find out the Sense version? By the way it works in the landscape mode too.
my apology...it does have the weather background. Weird,it didn't showed when i tried it earlier.
Oh and while im at it, this is the first time i use the 6.5 over the 6.1 and my impression is that it is......slow. The ram usage is ridiculous too, up to 70% at idle after caching the whole thing? the 6.1 rom onlywent as far as 60% i think after heavy use + 6.1 is a lot snappier too.
i'll play around with this for a week before rolling back to 6.1 i guess

yeah there hasnt been an official WM6.5 release for TP2 in the middle east, i contacted HTC they said it should be in the first months of 2010.
what are your experience with the original WM6.5 (other than mr_sheen). is it also slow?
How about landscape support in Album while viewing opened photos on Rhodium. Is that working?

I am in Dubai, i emailed HTC Support long time back(twice) but no response, and for their Hotline toll fre number , i held it up for more than 17 minutes, and it kept me on hold/waiting.....so dont know how to contact them...
if they are releasing official ROM 6.5 in this month, i will wait...
lets see...if you find it out that it has been released, plz PM me, viz....i will PM you..
just a quick update after i use the 6.5 ROM for a day:
a. With the No push internet tweak the starting RAM is 47% (almost same as 6.1) but then it climbs up again maxing at 72-74% (it stays at 64% for a while but eventually goes up again) after day do day heavy use (sms, phone, internet etc).
b. The opera browser seems to be a lot slower in scrolling. It's not as smooth as in 6.1. No problem in speed and rendering of the page though, its just not smooth. Thats all
c. In 6.1 when i set my device to vibrate sometimes it doesn't vibrate when message comes, it does now, which is a good thing.
d. Haven't tried the GPS as im up to my neck with college work. I'll do it soon though.
e. Overall, its a lot brighter and colourful than the 6.1 package but the 6.1 is a lot snappier in the TouchFlo 3D and the overall windows use.
Personally, i can't stand the RAM usage though, but im just in love with the weather background. I like it. If only i could drop the RAM up to 60% on idle then i'd be a happy man
oh and i read something about disabling network tethering thing to make the RAM a lot less on startup, whereabout is that? i cant seems to find the thread. It's not on sticky either

Actually my experience so far has been wonderful. Its not slow. Note though after i hard-spl(ed) i installed the Hong Kong version of Wm6.5. Its not slow. Right now i have my Jabra HALO bluetooth connected to it. Its being a pleasant experience thus far.
I communicated severally with HTC on the release of the Middle East version and after i got tired of waiting i just went the route i took. And so far so good. When HTC finally decides to release the Middle East version i will simply de-install the Hard-Spl and install the middle east version.

You installed the official version for HTC right? or is it a cooked one? if it is official than i dont see why other official versions are slow, the only difference between them is the language (i suppose).
and i did not know that you need hard-SPL to install official HTC ROMs
I have a few questions about Sense, Win 6.5 & 6.1.
I feel quite n00bish, since i had the Kaiser(Tilt 1) for two years & even flashed a custom ROM, but I am looking for some insight into what 'Sense' is, and what does it get you, and does my stock ATT ROM that I have, have it?
I just got the handset, so I assumed it was WIN 6.5, no?
Do I need to flash a custom ROM (Is it advised, since I am happy with the stock ATT rom <for now>?) to get the weather on the clock?
If these are questions I should have read already, please direct me to those threads. But honestly, I am on XDA daily, and I have not come up with the answers.
Thanks!
I have a T-Mobile HTC TP2. What version of Sense do I have and how can I tell? I am confused also about the difference between Sense, Touch Flow 3d, and how they interact with WM. Assume that they are both from HTC and maybe Sense is the phone software and Touch FLow 3D is the fancy today screen?
Sense and touchflo3d and tf3d and manila are all the same thing. The names have come from different locations over the years. Sense is the new name for any version 2.5 and up I believe.
It is software that runs in windows mobile. It takes over the visual interaction of the phone with the user. It is a more convenient interface than the standards windows mobile home screen. Most importantly it is a customized piece of software that HTC uses to make its windows mobile offering different from other manufacturers. Windows mobile is very much right under the surface, and is not very hard to get to. Just pushing the on screen windows logo will get you there.
The phone would be capable of doing all the same things without the sense interface. The experience would be different. In many cases you would need additional programs to replicate the functions that sense/touchflo roll up into 1 consistent interface.
That all said there are some who hate it, and flash to get rid of it as soon as they get their phone. To each their own. The best part of windows mobile is that you have choices.

boufa pretty much summed it all up there...Sense/TF3D/Manila are all referring to the shell interface that HTC built on top of plain 'ol WM. Manila is the name HTC uses for all of them, TF3D and Sense are just versions (kinda like generations) of Manila. The first Sense version was 2.0 technically, but you'll more often see 2.1 and 2.5. TF3D's last version was 2.1, which existed and was distributed at the same time as Sense 2.1 (not on the same model devices though lol)
You're running a stock ROM from Tmobile, right? And, have you upgraded the ROM at all since you bought the phone?

You probably have 6.1 if you are using stock Jan 2010 firmware. The way to tell between 2.1 and 2.5 is that 2.5 has shortcut icons below the clock; 2.1 does not.

Yeah, the odds are you have winmo 6.5, with Sense 2.1......unless you bought the phone before Jan or so, and never upgraded winmo after you bought it. In that case, you have winmo 6.1, with TF3D 2.1 (a manila version before sense)
Bought the HTC TP2 about one month ago. WM 6.1 Prof. I have not upgraded it to 6.5. Plan on doing it but I have loaded so much software in the last month, it will take me a weekend to put it all back on.

Gotcha, yes then what you have on there is TouchFLO3D (TF3D) 2.1, the last version of manila before sense. It looks very much like sense 2.1 in a lot of ways, but there are key differences going on behind the scenes that cause very few visual tweaks and adjustments to be compatible with both versions... but the good news is that pretty much any apps or tweaks you find on this site that say they apply to WM6.1/TF3D 2.1 should also work ok on your phone, even if they're for a different HTC model (the ones that don't will usually say so). There's less and less new TF3D stuff available in the TP2 forums now that every model has a 6.5 upgrade avialable, so you may find more stuff looking in the general windows area of the forums. But, keep an eye here too...beyond sense modifications there's still a ton of great stuff (apps, etc) that you can use on WM 6.1
when apply the t-mobile i upgrade to WM 6.5, will I get Manila, Sense 2.5?

Nope, 2.1 It still gives you a lot more options than TF3D, but it's nowhere near as versatile as 2.5.
Now, just be prepared for the fact that as you move up in manila versions (TF3D-sense 2.1-sense 2.5), you're likely to notice the phone slow down more. Each version is more "complex" than the last, and therefore more taxing on system resources.
so how do you get sense 2.5 with the tp2, or is that only for the hd2?
Install a custom ROM. If you've even slightly competent and are capable of following instructions carefully, there is basically no risk in installing a custom ROM. You can even revert back to the default ROM if you choose to later on. I don't think you can get rid of HardSPL, unfortunately, but I'm not sure. If you can't then I'm sure you'd probably void your warranty with a custom ROM should the phone encounter some unrelated hardware error later on.

I am slightly compenten and I can follow instructions. But what is HardSPL. And you can only get Sense 6.5 through a customer ROM??
