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.
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!
