Is there some kinda plugin for the WM 6.1 to get the WM 6.5 today plugin/home screen? Perfect would be a cab which installs this as an object in the Today list!
Anyone knows where to find it - or make it?
Mmmm...
As far as I'm aware, Titanium (WM6.5 home screen) doesn't run on 6.1
Ummm...
Okay... Was kinda hoping some one would be able to "re-create" it as a today plugin for WM 6.1....! It is mostly grahics, so...

Not the case. I'd imagine there are dependancies on 6.5 that aren't compatible with 6.1. Not to mention it's not just 'mostly graphics'. That'd be the easiest bit. There'd be a ****-load of code crammed in that. Look at all the different things it can do.
Why don't you just flash a 6.5 ROM? It's pretty much retail quality as it is now. M$ are claiming 6.5 is done and we have the latest builds. It simply makes no sense why you'd want to go backwards for just the UI?
Not really worth the effort of making it since you could just go install 6.5
Or just wait a bit longer if the latest version we have isn't exactky complete.
Hehe, well, I definitely see your point. But all the WM6.5 ROMs for Diamond that I found, didn't seem to be working 100 % (but more like 90 %...).
But if it's as ready as you claim, I guess I'll get my ass going and upgrade! I believe it's possible to get TF3D for 6.5 as well?

I just installed 6.5, but I think I am going back to 6.1
CONS
MD2 is far superior in every way, especially when it comes to email, you can view headers and check multiple accounts quickly, it is much nicer too.
I hate the fact that I cant quickly access my recently used programs.
PROS
it feels a bit faster
Bottom Line
I really think that 6.5 is no big deal, just a bit of eye candy, its funny how microsoft paid big bucks for fashion designers to design some themes instead of investing a couple of thousand dollars for a decent UI expert, they never cease to amaze me with their stupidity.
it is a shame that everybody is going along with it, as if this is the next big thing, it is really a very small baby step. MD2 not to speak of MD3 are far superior in every way.
Have I missed something? What do you guys think?
Which version of 6.5 did you install? The one nfsfan cooked up has m2d in it and thats what iam using... 6.5 w/ m2d as the GUI... i have noticed everything on my phone seems much easier/faster to work. No way id go back to 6.1...

Really? I am gonna try this. Last time I tried 6.5, I did not see M2D
just try nfsfans v8 6.5 rom, if that isnt a good enough reason for you to keep 6.5, then you need to switch to a crackberry
yup... under the today options...uncheck the default and check touchflo...
I didnt like the 6.5 gui either and went straight back to m2d in the options. Just updated to v8 for 6.5 a few moments ago and the options are there... I believe nfsfan had it in is roms for the last few versions...

I use his rom, but MD2 is buggy in 6.5 (i tried v8 too)
I loved his ROM , it's best of both world, but i mainly use M2D , and also SPB Shell 3 , switch it back and forth.
I switched back to 6.1 simply because I hated 6.5's UI on the Today screen.

Buggy in which way? Can you eleborate?
I was using v6 r2 for almost two weeks and it was rock solid...then i switched over to v8 just the other day and again.... rock solid. If you find it "buggy" in his release you should make note of it so he can work on it and try and resolve those issues...
Personally it feels like m2d w6.1 but faster and more stable. Launching Garmin would take some time before hand, and now with 6.5, is 10x faster...
i dont particularly like the large icon start menu. is there anyway to change it to a smaller view of the icons?
I went back to 6.1.
Slingbox Mobile looks like ass using 6.5 unless I disabled both the 6.5 GUI and M2D. It's a big deal for me cause I use Sling a lot. Memory issues somewhere.
Other than that, I think 6.5 with M2D worked pretty good.

I don't know when you encountered that screen glitch, but I experienced a similar issue with NFSFAN's 6.5 rom after I changed themes. A soft reset always cleared up the problem for me.

What versions are you using?
Slingplayer mobile currently has these version that were just released
* SlingPlayer Mobile for Windows Pocket PC 1.6.0.114 (US)
* SlingPlayer Mobile for Windows Smartphone 1.6.0.62 (US)
* SlingPlayer Mobile for Palm OS 1.00.22 (US)
* Windows Mobile Downloads (UK)
As for an application not working correctly with a pre-release version of WinMO, thats hardly the Chefs fault as the Application might not have a version to even look at yet let alone develop for
What versions of WinMO 6.5 have you tried - different Chefs utilize different kitchens and different items and tweaks as well so without trying all of them you really dont know if one wouldnt work or all wouldnt
Up to you if you want the time to spend with it I dont use it as if I want to watch television, I watch it, if Im out and cant watch some show or event, well thats what bittorrent or hulu is for LOL

have to agree here - thats an incompatible version of some theme on that ROM
Have seen it a few times myself, not the ROM thats for sure as it didnt occur when you first flashed and used the device, just after something was installed

So I have a few programs I need to use that look horrible and are almost unusable in WVGA. WVGAFIX3 doesn't seem to work with WinMo 6.5. Is there a similar program out there that works? Or a way to get WVGAFIX3 working in 6.5?
nobody? i know someone out there has a low res program they need to run on 6.5...

I know.... i'm half tempted to flash back to a 6.1 rom. I don't really see the advantage of going to 6.5 anyway, it just consumes more ram and not all software is compatible yet.
I've had my TD2 for a few months now and notice that I can get the 6.5 updgrade from the HTS site but is it worth upgarading ? I'm happy with my phone as is - but find some of the sub menus tricky due to small icons etc.
Secondly whilst I've installed a few apps I'm wondering how easy and safe is it and will I lose all my apps. I use spb back up so will that allow me to re-install everything in 6.5?
Sorry for so many questions but dont want to brick my phone I'm no techie and just need some advice
Cheers guys
Well, let me put it this way.
I went from official 6.1, to official 6.5, then flashed a couple of cooked 6.5 roms and now im back to official 6.1 again.
And about your backup I have no clue sorry.
What apps are you referring to?
Some may be back'ed up, others cant.
As for the WM6.5 I think that it's way better than 6.1
Where can i get the official 6.1 rom?

I have a number of spb apps weather, wireless monitor, wallet, sprite backup ,quads(sorry not spb as stated does that make a difference?) and terminator,pocket informant, resco file explorer, divx player, td2 tools and a few games most I think stored on memory card
drax0r - Can I ask why you switched back?
If you still have the files, you can just transfer them to you computer, and later to your phone. I like wm6.5 on my TD2, but switched from 6.5 back to 6.1 on my ipaq, as the screen wasn't sensitive enough for the gestures, and 6.1 was finger friendly enough on a 4 inch screen

Me too.
Too much battery drain, RAM running 80% or more, phone feels more sluggish.. WM6.1 feels much much faster than WM6.5. Plus there are some bugs like battery info not working.

Reasons why I switched back are answered above.
6.5 drains so much more battery, I have to charge every night.
Phone feels more sluggish, and there are so many bugs in 6.5 right now.
Im happy with 6.1. I bet most users would be too.

Just download the official rom from the htc page and flash it.
i have upgraded to wm 6.5 and my diamond 2 runs better than with 6.1. battery consuming works better with 6.5
thanks guys think I'll leave well alone especially after reading other thread and no one has come on saying that WM6.5 is worth the issues it creates for X, Y or Z
Hi,
my os is still winmo 6.1 and i don't really want to upgrade to 6.5 yet (because the next g rom isnt out yet and i dont want a different version). but i do like the htc sense UI with the weather in the middle of the time animated and the colourful task icons.
i want something like this:
http ://www . redmondpie.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/HD21.jpg
is it necessary to upgrade to 6.5 to have this? or can i have it and still have 6.1?
thanks
Jackos hybrid rom includes WM6.1 and Sense 2.1... He is also working on Sense 2.5 for WM6.1, I believe. Check it out, I tried and it's really stable. Only a couple minor bugs. But there's a ton of free RAM and it's really quick! Link below:

okay COOL! thanks
but will you tell me what kind of bugs are there? thanks again
AND another thing - will i be able to still keep my old touchflo3d interface (like i can choose either this jacko rom or the one i have now on the today settings), or will this completely change my interface? thanks
Jacko ROM rocks.. I have been using it intensively for a whole week...
and frankly... together with the Tarkim's Keyboard Configuration Apps... they save my TP2 from being dumped into the drawer... You must try it out if you want Sense on 6.1 (I don't want 6.5 too.. as I hate that stupid honeycomb interface which takes away my keyboard quick selection ...)
is there any way to get the sense with the weather without flashing a new rom?? if not is there any way to flash roms on a mac and or unlock my tp2 on a mac? what about backing up/syncing my tp2?
Hey
I just wondered if this is possible?
Sory for my bad eng...
Windows Mobile 6.5 he is just ugly bastard... And that HTC Sense also...
Just clean WM 6.1?
There are very few versions of 6.1 available for the HD2...and most of them haven't been updated in ages. Just flash a custom ROM, then hit up settings to get the old Start menu back...hell, even the stock ROM has the option I think.

No bro, I know the difference between 6.1 and Titanium.....been doing this a long time. There are a handful of 6.1 builds for the Leo...somewhere buried within the ROM development section at the main Leo section.

gotcha, its the red bit that i read as you saying to just turn sense off. Oh teh joy of misinterpretation, , heh.
maybe i don't hang out here enough, but I still can't see what this trivial argument is about...
doesn't WM6.1 = turning off titanium and reinstalling your old today plugins? e.g. before running GPS or Android, I turn off sense and just re-enable BatteryStatus and TodayAgenda from my WM6 on the today screen, and the HD2 magically turns into my old wm5.
If the OP was referring to the other device-specific tweaks like the new notifications or volume controls, they can all be changed in the registry or with programs like SchapsAdvancedConfig3.3 etc. One can even bring back the old start menu with new programs like this recent front page post 3D WinStart. But then again, all these tweaks might be too much for a newbe to handle, so i guess, yer right, just flashing a retro rom might be simpler, as long as one can still find it?

Tell me what your post brings to this topic?
I do not want any tweaks or crap like that. I want just good old WM6.1.
atlaswing is mostly correct though...WM6.1 really is just 6.5-Titanium. You can just go into settings and enable the classic WinMo Today screen to achieve the same effect.
