Is 6.5 stable?

[ycats]

install Merdin's 6.5, very reliable and stable.........he has an update in the near future.

Well, I have used PhantomRom, StarROM and Copper ROM. WM 6.5 does seem pretty stable. But, after using just plain simple WM 6.5 (Copper) I felt that I really miss TF3D and so, I installed back the Rhodium manilla... Everything working great. Then, I felt the only difference betweek WM 6.1 + TF3D and WM 6.5 + TF3D that I see is the smooth scrolling, start menu and the appearance of the scrollbars. (Please tell me guys if I missed something) and I personally didnt feel that the snapier feel for WM 6.1 is worth sacrificing for these minor things. So, finally switched back to Juicy 6 that comes with Rhodium manilla.

So, my suggestion is that if you wanna try something new, intead of finding a ROM with WM6.5, find one with Rhodium manilla or even better, get a Star ROM or PhantomROm that are WM 6.5 + Rhodium manilla, or get copper and install cabs yourself and see if you still get a charm of WM 6.5..

21501+ series is the true 6.5 core; don't judge 6.5 by the test builds. it is faster than 6.1

I'm assuming this is the version you will use in your build... Can't wait!

Does 6.5 improve the battery life and if the os "snappier"? Any recommendations? Mind this that i live in the NYC area and i cant afford to lose call strength in 1x and EVDO. Thanks in advance

I would say give Star Rom 6.5 a try. I think so far it is one of the most beautiful and stable 6.5 out the box. I have about 10 roms that I flash from all over the web I use on a recurring basis, and I've seen this 6.5 state and you wan't to add it to your overall collection. Might ditch it once it leaves my top 7 though.

starrom is great if you can't decide between tf2 and chome and it actually benchmarked better than any other 6.5 rom i tried...
strangely, however, i feel like copper is smoother and a bit quicker from a strictly personal standpoint (no tests to back me up!)

I like 6.5, I've been using it for the past week or so, different builds, copper/silent/JD/star, each rom for a day or two.
And then I flashed pitky 1.0, which is 6.1 with manila.
I don't miss 6.5 at all!!!! And the speed gain in UI is remarkable (or should I say speed loss with 6.5...)
