6.5.1 vs 6.5.3? - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development

Hello guys,
I see ROMs and ppl talk about 6.5.3... what is new in this version? I saw some pictures they look the same as 6.5.1!

6.5.3 has the start menu button on the bottom of the screen

I'm confused as well.
WM 6.5.3 is anything from build 28002 onwards, but the bottom Start Menu was present WAY before that build. Which UI elements are new in build 28002-28014 that weren't present before? Wikipedia cites "a more finger-friendly user interface, support for gestures, and an improved address book", but these features were also present in previous builds.
Apparently the new keyboard is a feature of 6.5.3, but I've yet to hear mention of it in any of the 68002 - 68011 ROM threads I've visited...

I think the 6.5.1 has already the start menu button on the bottom of the screen, so this hasnt changed since then....

As i can see from photos, 6.5.1 have the Start button on top and 6.5.3 on the bottom of the screen... I Prefer 6.5.1 ... The start button on the bottom is ugly...

6.5 (build 21k) has the Start menu button on top. 6.5.1 (build 23k+) had it on bottom already, so BOTH 6.5.1 and 6.5.3 (28k) has it on bottom!

Tried this before its not touch flow, the cube moves when you press a button not with your fingers
its as close as we will get i think
since a few days it works for Hermes (just tested it) and soon we will have it also for Trinity, just be patient.
This Is Working With My Trinity Fine

nop, ir rotates with the "pen", if you make a movment to rigth or left...
You are confused!
TouchFlo is not just a "pretty" three sided cube activated with a finger swipe (not a button)...
TouchFlo is more than that. The coolest thing about TouchFlo is the ability to scroll up, down, left and right (even diagonals) with just the finger and the system is able to detect actions upon touch (scroll action and select action).
The Trinity is not capable to detect TouchFlo (not the cube but the scroll part of it). Period!
Cheers!

Volume Control back to WM default style?

Originally when I push the 'Volume up' and 'Volumn down' button there is pretty nice visual feedback from the screen - the one has black background, kind of like TouchFLO style...
I liked the style.
However recently it somehow back to the original WM style, that is the little ugly meter bar at right top corner.
How to get the old one back? Is there any registry key that I can tweak?

Start Menu location

The ROMS that have the start menu sitting on the bottom and not the default top is there away to change them back to the top?

The roms that have the Start soft-key at the bottom are WM6.5.3(or5) builds (e.g, 23XXX, 28XXX)...and the bottom is the default position for the Start key on those builds.
WM6.5 builds (e.g., 21XXX) have the Start Key on the top.
Many chefs cook versions based on both types of WM builds.
Ok ty for the quick reply

Dont think one was released for this phone...
I could be wrong though.
I thought thats why the chefs take other phone ROMS and cook it for our Rhodium.
Otherwise you could download it from the HTC (or your carrier) site.

Ohhh thanks for replying. I didn't know they used other phone ROMS. But do you know of any ROMS that are good for the our Rhodium? I've used some ROMS before but they change stuff like the home button. They make it go to the start menu instead of home. Do you know a nice ROM where they let the home button actually go to the home screen?

There is no "home" button.

Yes there is in fact a home button. It has the windows logo on it.
I think you will find on here that most people will refer to that as the start button, and whilst I have been using newer ROMs for ages, I cannot remember when it did much else than go to the start menu?
No I'm talking about the button next to the back button on the htc touch pro2. That button sends me to the home menu with the time and weather and stuff.

Which side of the back button ? You said it had a windows logo on it though ? I have a button with a windows logo (to the left of the back button), which correctly pulls up the "Start" menu. I have a button with a picture of a house (and a phone) on it) to the right of the start button, which goes to the Sense home tab.
I am confused. Presumably you are talking about the real buttons not the soft on screen buttons?
My TP2 has (from left to right)
The pickup phone button
The start button (windows logo)
The back button (arrow)
The endkey button (phone down logo and little house)
If I push the endkey when away from the homescreen it takes me back to the home page.
That still works for me. (Not on every manila tab, but most)
The start key has only ever (for me) mimicked what the soft start key does. (Which in my case is start Quickmenu as I have binned the normal start menu).
Guys, you are forgetting that he has TMOUS TP2, which has really HOME button next to the BACK and Pick up.
Anyway, I really prefer having it mapped to Start Menu, because on Home you can get by pressing end key too, so why use two keys for one thing? Wasting keys .

I was going by what he said below, which is what made me think he had an HTC-branded phone :

Oh yeah I forgot to add that. I do have the T-mobile version.
It a matter of taste, but I prefer the Valkyire roms, you will need to try a few to make your own decision.
Lol the reason your home key opens up the start menu is the same reason why your ctrl key on your keyboard is actually your alt key; you flashed a ROM that the keymapping is to a different Touch Pro2, if you google you'll find the TMOUS Rhodium/Touch Pro2 Keyboard fix...
