Bit early yet isn't it? The rumour I just found here (http://wmexperts.com/articles/rumors/windows_mobile_61_coming_with.html) claims that Microsoft will announce it this month with devices shipping in May so my guess would be some time after May. HTC did release a WM6 update for the Artemis so at least they have a history of releasing in-the-field upgrades.
Does anyone have any idea how long after the official Microsoft release of WM6 was the HTC release of WM6 for the Artemis? This would give us some idea of how long it takes HTC to get one of these field upgrades out.

Will a cooked ROM with 6.1 be possible before an official HTC release? Does the cooking process require an official ROM image (for both technical and legal reasons?) as one of its raw ingredients?

Truth friend Julian? I think it is not so much so.
I am not talking about a Rom official, of course.
Look at the Artemis.

I'm sure Polaris Project team will release WM6.1 for Polaris as soon...
They working in progress and try get for all peoples in polaris forum have fatasic rom.
Don't worry and take for them some times only

fantastic news tom

Thanks Tom, we appreciate your excellent work.
We are waiting for news for our Polaris.

HTC released the Artemis WM6 upgrade in june for the asian market. European update came in october for some unknown reason and was a lot worse than the asian WM6 release. The australian ROM I used for some time with my P3300 had GPS Photo enabled, the european ROM had this feature disabled.
Note that WM 6.1 is not a major OS update so it won't take that long IMO. Not that WM6 was such a major upgrade

There are already the first WM6.1 ROMs for Kaiser. It's a matter of short time to see soon to Polaris too

OK. I'm glad to be wrong. WM6.1 still isn't officially released by Microsoft though is it so are these based on a beta build of 6.1?
Some reports I saw quoted WM6.1 as being a worthwhile speed improvement over WM6. The page I saw was auto-translated from some other language but if I understood it correctly then I think they were talking about the soft reset time, in any event it was something that took 50 seconds on their device with WM6 was only taking 30 seconds on WM6.1.
Is there any feedback coming in from Kaiser users about speedup with WM6.1?

windows mobile 6.1 officially relased today!

As you can read on MS website
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/6-1/default.mspx
Today microsoft has launched Windows mobile 6.1

i also read this news on an italian portal (pockepcitalia) but theu say that HTC will release the update only for the TYTN II....
but why?

So the best feature IMO the sliding panel, is missing from the touch screen version of WM 6.1 nice

Well that link is for smartphone anyways,
but yes, pda 6.1 isn't that much of an upgrade, while smartphone version is.

that's my opinion, too
WM6.1 on PDAs is not more than a facelift.

No, WM6.1 more faster then WM6.0
And more stability.

I take this with a grain of salt. The OS always seems faster when re-loaded for the first time.

Yep...still too soon. I have done my share of OS upgrading too. Use it for a month or more then compare that device with a WM 6.0 device side by side.

You may be right on this. I also realized, that WM6.1 seems to have
optimized kernel and so be faster in response. So i confirm, that WM6.1
also in my opinion is "better" than WM6.0. My former statement of the
facelift was regarding to the optical appearance of WM6.1 on PDA devices
in comparison to the optical improvements of the Smartphone version.
Hope that made it clear
Olioaglio

As you can see there aren't that many updates from 6.0 to 6.1. But everything can run faster and better. (Hope so)

I rebooted my Orbit2 about one time per week.
I think 1-2 day enoght for stability of all cashes and good time for testing.

It's not even sure if HTC will release a WM6.1 upgrade for the Touch Cruise.
Being patient is all what you can do, or use a custom rom

when I have qtek was very simple on official site was everything rom's e.t.c. but for htc e-club zero....

Anyone has any idea when will the OFFICIAL CRUISE WM6.1 be released??

Hi,
All the "official" versions does not seem to really official ones there are too many bugs that remind of a cooked ROM
does HTC really going to publish ROM WM6.1 for Polaris?? when??

uh yeah HTC confirmed that they are working on a new ROM with WM6.1, and it will be released any time now..

ahah, you think that this ROM it's a fake?! how can you say this?

well, when I flash that rom, unmodded, My startbutton and my screen is messed up, just like in several builds that both I and others has ported. This goes for polaris, herald and kaiser.
If I replace certain files in sys with ones from original wm6.0 rom (polaris), that problem goes away. Same if I make a rom for Kaiser..I take this file from the official build and replace in the ported one, the problem go away.
This issue is well known with newer ports. I really doubt HTC would release a such obvious flaw (But then again..I would not be surprised either)
I might be wrong in beliving its a fake, but I really dont belive its the final product. I dont know what source you get the rom from, and I can "eat my words" if im wrong.
I wanna add that I dont question your honesty UDK, not at all. Cause I have had my share of supply of official builds, that has turned up to be fake.

udk and itje
Gosh, if Norway and Switzerland work together, then a bomb will come out of it.
Not your opinion?
LOL

@itje: Unfortunately, this is the final release and yes, does not works well, it's run very slow and there are some lag.. the ITA version is much slower than the WWE version, but I repeat, these ROM are not fake, there is also a RUS, GER and SPA version with the same core and OEM, are all fake? I think no

hello,
Can we have a French one PLZ

Where do you find this ROM ? Have you special access on HTC club ? have you a friend who works for an operator or HTC?

If you think it is a fake rom, why not go to the HTC site and see if an official rom is available... I would do this however I have an O2 Orbit not official HTC cruise!

Both you and me can make multilanguage based on same core and OEM.
Slow and lag..all official roms I have seen has slowness and lagging.. So I didnt base my doubts on that.
Its more the booting issues that makes me wonder. But hey, I am man enough to say I was wrong, so im not gonna sit here and go on fight for something that I cant prove.
Either its this or that, we'll just see when the official hits the support pages at HTC, if it has the same issue, then we know if its the final official build or not that is here with us now

I don't think they are fake, since they are signed and flashable without HardSPL. But if they are the final release or some test/preview we don't know until they are posted on the web.
They have been available for some time already, if they indeed are the final build, why are they still not put on htc.com?
Perhaps they are going to re-package udK's Syrius or Itjes latest and release those instead.The Polaris user group would be much happier then

Spanish ROM
I´ve installed the spanish rom and if I use the original SPL it gets changed by a new one with version POLA100/3.130000/CPLD-2.
I´ve never seen that on a cooked rom.

Hi,
in my opinion, this is the first and last update from HTC for POLARIS

Agree totally with you. A device such as ours last for a year. Why do you want HTC people to devote time on present and past devices ? They have already announced new generations to come within the next few months.
Still, I think my Polaris will still be useful until such time a much much better PDA comes to light.
Besides, take away XDA-developers and some other sites, do you think the manufacturers will have more creative minds? No sir, people like you and other
guys alike itje and udk are their main contributors for good ideas. Our forums are read daily by all manufacturers.
Keep it up

Yes... with 6.1, the Polaris just becomes a more stable version of itself, with some enhancements -- more of what it should've been upon release. Will definitely hold us over until WM7, at which point it'll be a good time to get a newer device

I think the reason they don't post it on the web is because not all languages are ready yet. When they post it every language should be available or there will be another problem, right ?
For now I'm using wwe (waiting for portuguese) and it works flawlessly. Ok, I don't have manilla but all radio function work, I've got voip working, I can use wmplayer with htc home (so my calls don't get everything malfunctioning while using bluetooth), and I got portuguese keyboard working (registry tweak needed). So I think it's probably the real deal. And let's face it if they released a upgrade with manilla would you buy the new touch for 600€ while you can get a polaris for 400€ nowadays? So we will be stucked with a stripped version of wm6.1 or if you look on the bright side at least is wm6.1 and stable.

Here is the TIME for Official WM6.1 on htc.com ???
I think the TIME is coming NOW !!! Because the link now not available, but only the Cruise Software site !!! I hope sooooo

What's the best 6.5.5 build?

Hi guys, I'm wantting to know your opinions about the latest 6.5.5 builds because I want to update the SYS on my Manila ROM. Despite the ROM it's already 6.5.5, It's an early 6.5.5 build and I would like to know wich it's the best 6.5.5 from the "user point of view" arround the forum.
Every comment and the comments from people that had used both 3 are the most apreciated.

i think the best 6.5.5 is 23563
but there are other choice of 6.5.3
there's so many kernels...
and they may form microsoft,may form HTC,SAMSUNG,LG,MOTO.....
just use the most stable and best memory control one i think

Right now the results about the "favourite rom" between november5 and ffboy are close, maybe I have to release sense in both lol.

I think that would please alot of people.
I think that it also says alot for ffboy's rom, as he has only released it in one language. I have tried them both, and they are great. And a very hard choice just to pick one.

Actually aren't all the current builds relatively close?
I have tried a couple of builds of 6.5.5, and apart from a few bugs in each, they do seem quite similar
If tasks could be delagated, could build turnarounds be faster, more coherent and releases be less confusing?
I think all the work you guys are doing is fantastic, such a big difference to the situation a very short time ago, i am sure i am not alone in almost giving up hope in us ever getting past 6.5

The Perfect Rom
I think you need to wait until the developers will finish their development and post their final 6.5.5 Roms.(stable with no bugs and max Ram)
then it will be the best time to add manila to it.
everybody here behave like addicts....rushing and pushing the developers to post a new Rom after every step....they need to relax for my opinion.its silly to flash all those Roms unless you help testing
wait a few days and you will see.then you will have final releases and you will be able to decide.
I also have an important question.
Will your new manila releases will have landscape mode?

Yes I hope so.

Difficult to answer because we must try during enough time each ROM... I'm testing FFBOY V1 ROM (and before v0.9) and I must say that there is very few issue (none for me until now) but no Sense include....
Thanks for all cookers....

Really impressed with the efforts so far but after trying the aragon version it slowed me up and I am now back to the Novembre build.

Yes, it's in my opionion the most stable and fastest Sense Rom, that's out until now.

Yes I agree with that but I hesitate between FFBOYv1.0+sense.cab (lot of free RAM) and ARAGn085, which works well with lot of RAM too... I have no problem with Arag ROM and a very few problems with FFBOYBeta2... FFBOYv1.0+sense.cab is a little slower I found than Sense integrated in ROM... But with more RAM! I think it never misses much about FFBoy Rom to be perfect!
My test is launch Skyfire with Sense activated, because it's a very good wen browser but it needs lot of RAM... No very scientific méthod...
