thinking of using 6.5 Today instead of HTC Sense (AKA TouchFlow) - does anyone know if this will help with battery life and if so how much?
Cheers
I dont know, but i found the phone to be quicker.
TF3D is useless (imo). But WinMo 6.1 was a bit too pre-historic for my liking.
WinMo 6.5 GUI FTW.
i use today and spb mobile shell way better than htc

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 Ram has been an issue with 6.5, and 6.1 is becoming outdated yet is respected for its stability.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 xda-developers,
I have been reading about this new Windows Mobile 6.5 and TouchFlo 3D 2.5 and think they both look pretty good! I was wondering if there is any way to switch between the two? I mean like dual booting a computer with Windows or Mac, is there any way to do this with Windows Mobile and TouchFlo 3D? Windows mobile 6.5 looks pretty good and once it's released I'd like to have a go with it though I'd also like to use TouchFlo 3D 2.5. Any idea's would be great! I've had a search and I can't find anything although I'm not really sure what I should be searching!
Thanks for any help!
yes there is....
Settings>Today & disable TouchFLO 3D on the today screen. That's all it is... a plugin on the today screen that integrates in to the phone.
Brilliant! Thanks very much! That's excellent!
Im not really interested in upgrading to 6.5 that much not even sure if im going to make the switch since winmo 6.5 seems kind of a minor upgrade imo, but i was wondering is there a way to get the standard lock program thats on winmo 6.5 its kind of like the slide 2 unlock app but its on wimo 6.5 by default
is there anyway to extract this and put this on our winmo 6.1 tp2's? or is it more of a 6.5 only type of thing
Sadly, apparently not!

Why upgrading?
Please add feedback: pluses...minuses?
...wm 6.5 : high Ram use, possible memory leak, buggs...(?)
so why upgrade? Because its "new" ?...is it something like pc-s xp to vista?
I found Windows MObile 6.5 had a nicer interface. It feels a like a few generations ahead of 6.1 because 6.1 is a lot like WM5 and its predecessors.
It's become like the iphone and android with application screens in the start menu and now has a dedicated marketplace where you can purchase more applications. It already has over 500 applications and that number increases by the day! Seeing that WM6.5 just came out you can expect even more applications to come out.
I didn't know there was any competition.
Since I upgraded from 6.1 to 6.5, I haven't seen a single reason to go back...
WM6.1: Faster, less battery hungry
WM6.5: Nicer UI graphics, finger friendly
htc diamond official 6.5 rom??
Never.....
Why
Why do you say never?
Htc didn't make rom with windows 6.5 ?
Touch Diamond is out of date, winmo 6.5 is meant for more current and faster devices.

HTCTD runs 6.5 slowly and will be too slow to run 7.0 for sure.
Nope, they're only making it for the Diamond2. Unforuntately the Diamond was designed by HTC to work well (pfft) with Windows Mobile 6.1, so HTC wouldn't want people complaining of 6.5's problems unless hardware is customized exclusively for the operating system.

No, diamond can run well 6.5 (at least in my case). 6.1 provides poor touch sense (tried)
higher wm, not sure

I agree, my Diamond is more useable with WM6.5. Because the touch sense of screen is better and items of ui is more like for touch ui device.
And the WM6.5 is running ok in diamond without htc today plugins.
there 's no official 6.5 rom on the diamond

If you look at memory consumption on 6.5 with SENSE, it is around 80%. HTC wouldn't want people to only be able to run 2 programs at a time, so they don't bother with it.

Any thread # for a good 6.5 cooked rom for Diamond (not Diamond2)? All I find is old (as of beginning of 2009)
