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
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.
i have a phone called the samsung intrepid, it has wm 6.5
what would be the easyist way to get it to 6.5.3 because no1 makes roms for this device... could any1 make this rom? I dont know how hard this could be
Is there a way to port the WM 6.5 Lock Screen to WM 6.1?
I don't think so. It's too deep integrated.
Thanks I thought so since I haven't seen it around. Oh well.
I have had a TP2 with WM 6.1 since launch. It broke.
Verizon shipped me a replacement running WM 6.5...
Should all of the programs and tweaks I have accumulated work on 6.5 or do I need to start over?
The majority should just work without problems. It is hard to say since I don't know what programs you had installed, but I would venture to guess things are 95% compatible.
I have been able to use all of the applications I ran when I had winmo 6.1 on winmo 6.5. The only issues i've ever had with compatibility had to do with net framework 3.5
