Official HTC Europe WM6 ROM - first impressions?

I downloaded right now the WWE version, but still working in my office, presumably until late night... :-((
So, please, who can quickly flash the new rom, share his/her first impressions with us!
(Especially: which OS it uses, what HTC-made utilities have been put in it, are there any new features comparing to the official HTC Asia-Dopod WM6 rom?, etc.)
Thanks!

I second this request. I'm quite decided to install Pdaviet Black&Blue 4.2, after my good experience with 4.0, but I'm curious to know about this, and these are localized too

I have a question :
if , after tried wm6 official HTC ROM , i decide to revert back to wm5 official Rom how can i do this ?
Why Htc haven't provided the wm5 ROM for going back if desired ?

It's pretty the same as WM5 but then WM6. After first boot it installs the same utils as it would in WM5 like TomTom, QuickGPS etc. (Also the ugly green dailer )
Windows Mobile 6 Professional 5.2.1620 (Build 18125.0.4.2)
IPL 3.13.0001
SPL 3.13.0000
GSM 02.94.90
OS 3.13.0.0

that is terrible!!!!!
i hope tom finished his 4.2 version soon

Pretty much the same as the asia one but with Office 2007 and cleaner.
Its clean, stable, fast and once again CLEAN!! install what you like.
Im sticking to this, you also know its been tested better than the home cooked, hats off to the guys but I dont like junk.

i reinstall the touch 2.1 ( really i'm waiting b&b4.2 ) after ... 12 minutes.
So,its only localized ... and no extra software.
i prefer touch 2.1 or B&B 4.1
By

I think it´s more of the same stuff from HTC, no inovations, unlike the name of this company.
What i´m really curious to see is the new Rom from Tom.
Cheers

Whoa!! The time to fix for the GPS is much improved! I'll have to test it more tomorrow, but it could be as fast as the TyTN II now!! That is AWESOME!

I'm going to say I like the dopod version more. This one doesn't have Audio Manager or Voice Command installed. I don't see a "lock screen" feature on this either...

stable, memory drain 's gone: program memory still at 22mo after 12 hours. but the new rom has fewer memory for stockage: 20mo vs 51mo of Meschle's new rom.

this version has voicecommand. Lock screen is there, just goto the settings, today and enable the item
Its the same as any other base, vanilla rom.

Where is link for download

www.htc.com
Sign up to the club with your Serial Number and its in the updates section. Other places on this forum have posted links.
Im happy with it, I like its clean and fully tested so Im sticking to it. There may be a reason they havnt used th elatest rom like some other cooked ones. You have to remember,the people who make these roms know a hell of a lot more about them than we do.

Where to find new ROM
Hi guys,
I can't see any ROM upgrade on official HTC Europe website. I registered my device and created account in HTC Club. Now, after login I can't see ROM upgrade either in Phone software update nor in Other downloads. Could you check this out (or maybe ROM is in other section?).
Thanks

I can confirm a same situation.
Please somebodu help!!!

Maybe there was some serious bug in ROM and they removed it from website? I double checked it with Firefox and IE and still can't find any ROM upgrade...

Voice command?
Where is that? Do you mean Voice Speed Dial?

Is there a way back if you installed the WM6 rom ? I just want to know this before I try the new one.

Looking for a ROM with WM only

Hi,
First, I have a question about cooking ROMs. A ROM is made of the Windows Mobile OS and some Applications, right? So where do you get the OS included in cooked ROMs. I would like to have a ROM with WM only. Like a formated PC with the OS installed after the first boot. This status I would like to have on my Touch Diamond. Does anyone know how to get this working?
I ask because I've seen a cooked ROM with CE OS 5.2.21042 and on my TD i have version 5.2.20764, but Windows Update reports, that no updates are available.
Felix

if you want a rom with nothing preloaded check out swtos's thread...
but with nothing loaded is barely usable (i'm talking about not having tf3d)
goto settings/today and disable Touchflo... thats what 'bare WM' would look like... and function like...

And is there any possibility to get just a wm update, that I have the newer OS Build, but without having to flash a new ROM?

no, just flash the new 6.5 rom, there is one with 120mb free which sounds like what you are after

Which one do you mean? There are many 6.5 ROMs

if u just spend abour 1min reading thru the main headlines, u should already see it.

Well they are all not really what i am looking for, but thanks for the suggestions. I still have one question left: Where do ROM cookers get the OS the build in their ROMs?

usually xda-member posts both XIP and SYS of the latest build.
usually after rom cookers release their ROM first.

Ok thanks.

Is there a possibility for release of an official 6.5 ROM for our diamonds?

Or you will die without air.

so , i ask because I cant find proper answer anywhere ..

Short answer..
No.
Why? It's not really got the ooompff to run 6.5
Just be thankfull that you can get better cooked roms here.

You probably have noticed that the is no new ROM update for our Diamonds for several moths. I believe that this means one thing, NO MORE SUPPORT, so if you want winmo 6.5 or new manilla, buy another terminal they might want to suggest you
Thank to the developers here we can still survive with our old terminals.

WM6.5 really slow on P3300 M650 / when ROM base on official version ?

Hi,
Going through the forum, I understand that P3300 / M650 could get quite slow after being upgrade to WM 6.5 (compare to WM6 Black & Blue 4.3 for example).
=> Is it still true with the last ROM released ?
Moreover, I just read that Microsoft has officially launched today the official WM 6.5 version.
=> Can we expect that soon new modified ROM will be released based on official WM 6.5 and then expect big improvement (more stable and quicker ?)
Last point, how fast and stable is GPS on WM6.5 (using Tom Tom 7), since I am experiencing problem with my actual ROM WM6 Black & Blue 4.3 (have to "soft-reset" my HTC each time before to launch Tom Tom 7, otherwise is losing satellites after a few seconds...).
Thks a lot, Fred

=> Is it still true with the last ROM released ?
The memory management with every new build that comes out seems to be better and better. So as compared to the first beta builds, the latest RTM builds are much zippier.
=> Can we expect that soon new modified ROM will be released based on official WM 6.5 and then expect big improvement (more stable and quicker ?)
There are many ROMS out there based on 'official' 6.5 builds. The phones that ship with 6.5 have builds from the COM2 branch which have the old interface, but we also have official builds of 6.5.1, which is a COM 4 branch, and which has GUI improvements.

....it was also my doubt: how is possible that there are already so many cooked wm6.5 roms, if microsoft released it officially only yesterday?
Which is the starting point for this roms?
Some wm6.5 rom for developers?
Finally, one question directly for randythered:
I read on your sign that you "participate" to the project wm6.5 base...what is it?
And also that you include in your roms
RtR Base Version1
RtR Base Version 2
RtR Manila v1.0
RtR WM 6.5 Base v2.0 (Build 23052)
Which are the differences and which you would suggest to a "newbie" that is still running the official HTC wm6 rom?
Thank you in advance!
PS: I've seen also http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=567864
that increase my confusion
Please help me!
Thanks!!

The builds that have been coming out have been leaked out by trusted sources. Check out Development & Hacking forum.
Project 6.5 Base is what I was working on, the ROM is ready so I have to change my sig now
All those are the ROMs that I have cooked. RtR Base V2 is WM 6.1 Clean ROM, with minimal add on apps.
RtR Manilla 1.0 is a M2D ROM, similar to the HTC Touch Viva.
RtR 6.5 Base is a clean 6.5 ROM, with the latest build of 6.5 and very few add on apps for faster ROM.
The ArteMEGA is the latest ROM i've cooked, it's got software from the recently launched HTC MEGA.
If you want to flash a new ROM you have to unlock your phone first by flashing USPL. Then you can flash any ROM of your choice!

So, just to summariza, I should install:
1) RtR Manilla 1.0 if my first wish is to have the Manila (diamond style) user interface
2) RtR 6.5 Base is I don't care about HTC propetary interface, and I want the last microsoft wm with its features...light and stable since is a base.
3) ArteMEGA if I want the last microsoft wm as well as the last HTC user interface and I don't care toom uch about speed...
IT is correct?
Thanks in advance!!

Yes, that is indeed correct.
I was just going to reply with a "Yep. " but xda thinks that's too short

not quite, cause my ultralight version is speedier
come on randythered...i am still waiting
greetz

Hahaha I have to admit 31 MB program memory is WOW!
Don't know if I'll be able to manage that, but I'll definitely give it a go

Thanks for your answers !
Just to know, does the release number "23060" for the ROM W 6.5 base is a good way to know if it's clean/last version ?
Do you have a W6.5 ROM with French language support to recommand (clean / stable / speedy !) ?
Rgds, Fred

All builds are the same, it's the cooks job to make it as speedy as possible. As far as I know, the 23060 and 23420 builds have some issues with the dialog buttons, but these have been adressed. Read the latest builds thread for more info.

[possible news] official htc wm6.5 rom !!!

Hi guys !
Surfing the web I've found an interesting image about a possible official wm6.5 ROM for our DIAMOND.
Yuo can see this image here -> IMAGE !!!
or here -> IMAGE !!!
and now ?!? What do you think?

The Diamond model is actually choosen alot for screenshots since it's a small stylish phone... Nothing to do with getting an official update...
Besides why would we want 6.5 with 6.5.1 already around

I think, it where very very ultra cool, when it' s possible.
But the only real method are porting a original rom from another device.

I think we need give some complaints to Htc customer service.
" Why you guys already made an official wm6.5 rom for microsoft, but never release for us ??? "

We need official WM6.5 nk.exe and compatible drivers.
It is very important for cookers.

Pointless. They won't release it to force you to buy a new device... It's HTC's way of taking care of a customer...

Ehm, think its more like their way of taking care of business... - I wonder if you feel the same way with your television, pc, car and what not, that if they get an upgrade on a new version, they have to give to you for free, or else its simply bad customer service??
