I appears that in order from myself and possibly others to move onto the 6.5.3 Rom's it's a problem, because it causes older programs not to work. My slingbox ver. 1.6 won't work and graphics are missing. In order for me to use slingbox ver. 2.0 which will work I have to by a newer slingbox cause my older box is not compatable. What was changed in 6.5.3 and is there any fix? For anyone willing to look at the two slingbox cabs I willing to post them upon request, a comparison of the cabs might produce a fix for these Roms?
Is 6.5.3 using a different compact frame work other than 3.5? May be 3.7 only. If so can a older frame work such as 2.0 be installed along with it so older programs will still run?

I don't know about slingbox -- never used it.
But I haven't had any problems running lots of old programs (including one I got back in WM5.0 days) on a WM6.5.3 or W6.5.5 based rom.
There are situations where the old apps don't have a way to close them because there's no longer a close-x at the top of the screen. So I just get out of them via Home or Start or Back key and then close the app with Taskmanager.
I haven't had to install/uninstall/change .net compact framework on any custom rom. Whichever one is included has worked for me/my programs.
Thanks you, that was very helpful.
I made some alterations in the SlingPlayer.exe 1.6 version to at least look better in my phone!
Original was like this:

Hello all, I've recently got into the whole pocket pc phone game not long ago but I've been researching on this phone for quite a bit. When I bought my secondhand hermes it came with the att/cingular wm5 rom, and i thought an upgrade to the newer wm6 would be nice since the UI looks nicer.
but after doing so i noticed a real huge difference in the decrease of performance speed. I've tried many wm6 roms from this forum like schaps, black, etc, also each of their lite versions too.
so i've come to the conclusion that i'll sacrifice the nice UI for performance by downgrading back to the hermes' native rom, which i did and i am now using htc's latest wm5 rom from this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298520
this is has been working nicely for me, speed is much faster than wm6, and i'm not minding the UI too much now that i think about it.
but the thing is it comes with htc's ugly neon green theme that makes it so dang hard to read the white text. i know i can easily change the theme + comm mgr + dialer theme, but i really dont want to add more to the phone than necessary........
so are there any other roms with more pleasing theme available for america/english language and works with att/cingular? i tried looking for this but i cant seem to find any cooked wm5, compared to the dozens of cooked wm6 ones. any input is appreciated!
examples:

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

i tried black satin ROM and it ran pig slow, i went to black majik ROM and its nice and speedy now.
madman, i've tried black majik before and i believe it was still a bit laggy in comparison. is this mod only available with wm6? i would like to stick with wm5 if possible
well, there isnt good way to do it. You can download addons on hermes wiki. anyway if you want a fast, good and stable rom, i prefer the ProBlack 3.0.1. its really fast and very stable rom for me. Ofcourse, if you want to stay with wm5 - you have only one way with themes of dialpad and others - you need to install them.
Regards
Good day! ive started this thread for others to have an overview of what to expect from the new WM 6.1 official from imate.
ive already DL from imate which required registering...indeed it was a long process...this is what ive noticed with the new official rom:
1. a little faster than the wm6
2. they changed power settings, it now indicates how many percentage left..
3. imate also changed the mms manager...and it sucks! ive tested it and as per preference, the Arcsoft mms is much better than the new one in wm 6.1..(mms wm6- separates SMS from MMS, indicates how many percentage left in receiving/sending multimedia messages////mms wm6.1- integrates SMS and MMS in one profile, does not show percentage/progress as to receiving and/or sending MMS)
4. added Task Manager
5. SMS threading Enabled
so far, thats what ive noticed...
ADVICE: since this is not a clean rom, and thus all of what imate want to add is pre-installed, just manage your Windows/Starup folder and remove unnecessary start files that consume PPC memory..add your favorite tools such as QuickMenu(to make x, and ok botton as CLOSE/END/Terminate) and Advance Config Tools for improvement on POWER, PERFORMACE, AND STABILITY...
WHAT WERE YOUR OBSERVATIONS??
HELP ME......the attach screenshots might i dentify the problem
anyways in detail....SIM is not working, Wireless manger sometime hans up, most of the time i cant see the dial pad (but when i do...it says "Unknown SIM Erroronly emergeny calls can be made without a PIN")
the good thing about it is...IGET THIS ERROR EVEN WITHOUT A SIM
so any one able to sort this out...all th infos are given in the screen shots
The Phone is Ultimate 8150,
ive been after this for like a year PLEASE NEED HELP...1 more thing the best site so far i found rearding Imate Ultimate Series is closed down ultimates.biz...so you guys are the last hope...

I Need 6.0 or 6.1 8150 ultimate
I have ROM ESN.6.1.3.01 and Bluetooth and WiFi hardware not working, is not installed, I thing that need other drivers, any one has Roms for this I-mate?.
There is a leaked partial beta ROM of WM6.5 in the Blue Angel section. Can someone retrive it? Thanks in advance.
NOTE: THIS ROM IS CURRENTLY NOT FOR DIAMOND. UNLESS YOU ARE EXPLORING WAYS OF BRICKING YOUR DEVICE, DON'T FLASH IT!
EDIT:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=428030Here are two links. Both are QVGA, and not for Diamond as mentioned:

you have been warned
^ Thanks. Have added this to the first post.
Can it be ported safely to Diamond?

Tbh, it's very, very unlikely that it can be ported because it's QVGA first and foremost. However we might be able to extract elements. I hear the scrolling is supposed to be a big improvement amongst many other things.
Finally, I think it's only a matter of time before a VGA version surfaces .
Hope this answered your question.
its seems to be still a mix of 6.1 and 6.5. But none the less its still winmo 6.xxx....it can be done
Strange...this screenshot shows it on the Uni (VGA):

What other improvements do you know of?
anyone looked at the cab files that come with the rom?anything us diamond user could use? (proably not as its not vga but you never know)
Tried them, but no joy. There's 5, the only one I haven't tried is IE, since I didn't see much point.
Haven't noticed any changes to poutlook though. Anyone else?
to me it looks completly like a fake. the right device has completly wm6.1 style taskbar and has touchflo 3d manila background set. ??
but not running manila to huge fonts and so on.
1. its a veryvery very very early 6.5 built or completly fake as we are used from our chinese friends.
Would be inclined to believe a very early build, since the video on WMPoweruser shows the scrolling in action, and not even FTouchSL (a commercial software) has achieved that level of kinetic scrolling yet.
Could this be used on both platforms (GSM and CDMA)?

I'm currently using a rom that looks like this, but I'm looking for a similar looking rom with better performance.
No offense to the cooker of my current rom, I'm just too much of a perfectionist...!
Please send me some links!

You could try any 'touchflo m2d' rom, i don't think that you could find one that works with good performance. M2D is just too heavy for our Artemis. Well, at least that's my point of view after testing several ROM's.
agreed
its that M2D interface which is causing you the performance problems you are trying to get rid of.
installing another M2D rom will give you the same issues
some are better than others, browse for M2D in the thread title of roms on here and see what other user's comment are....but i wouldn't post messages in them all asking what the performance is like because we'll all just get a front page full of bumped old threads
Well I use Achile's Youtube Online version 3 from 1/2/2009 and it looks exactly like this, it's fast & stable. The link is her above on the same page.
Best rom I have tested (with best layout), I just flashed back from the latest 6.5 (which was slow & today screen boring).
I agree that the rom from achilles is the best M2D rom there is. I also detest the today screen from the latest roms, so I will stick to this one.
I'm only having problems with a few things.
- my email and text message sound doesn't play at all when receiving a message
- my memory usage is too high
- I can't install a Hotmail-account
- there is no word completion when I compose a message
- I can't switch from conversation mode to single message mode in my text messages
- messages aren't marked as read until the message is opened in the Windows Mobile messaging program
Does anybody know the answer to (one of) these issues?
Thanks!
Since Microsoft first released Windows Phone 7, I convinced my self to "NOT BUY" the very first release because I know and I think most of us knows that a few months or weeks, an improved version will be available.. Well probably upgrading a ROM is the answer but anyway, my few suggestions to improve some navigations.
A like to suggest in horizontal panning effect which I think is a very nice and beautiful. But to improve the navigation, here are some my suggestion.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Ok. So another one would be, in Application List navigation.
also posted in my blog site
http://jaysonragasa.net/post/A-few-suggestion-for-Windows-Phone-7.aspx
To be honest, those are nice concepts. I can easily see the Application list getting changed to allow grid support. Can't say much about the other.
FYI Windows Phone 7 is going to be very easy to update. It has a real updater unlike Windows Mobile. You wont have to flash a rom and wipe out all your apps and settings to get OS updates anymore. At least thats what Microsoft is claiming.

the question is, will it be "free" ? which I don't believe it will.
and if not .. well most of us I think will still swim around this kind of site for free upgrade, patched ROMs that we will still injecting in our phone's vains
EDIT:
-- ok, so hopefully it will be free like Windows OS
another suggestion would be
Bing search results.
Will it be nice to search inside your phone too such as Contacts, Applications, Calendar, and files? here's the preview.
