After using 6.5, would you go back to 6.1 ?
The more I play with WinMo 6.5, the more I like it. The other day I had to get a "insurance replacement" phone, and that came with 6.1 on it. I played with it for about 3 hours and said to myself, how did I actually like this ? 3 hours and 5 min, I had 6.5 back on.
6.1 very hard to use with a finger, need the pen for most things, needed to use scrollbars for everything. WM 6.5 SOOOOO finger frendly from e-mail, contacts, home page, etc. So, what is people's thoughts here, after using 6.5 for a few days to a week, would you go back to 6.1 ? |

6.5 also has the nice slide to unlock feature and beautiful start menu

yeah after i tried and got used to 6.5 i cant go back.... i want to try that new mighty silence rom but i cant cause its 6.1

Re: After using 6.5, would you go back to 6.1 ?
I can't go back because I LOVE 6.5....But I only had my phone for a few days before I flashed a 6.5 rom and never went back, so maybe I didn't give 6.1 a fair chance...We will never know though :)

Think of 6.1 like 6.5 but, you had scrol bars for everything, so no finger sliding... I do love 6.5....Looking forward to what MS does with "7" |
Re: After using 6.5, would you go back to 6.1 ?
Guess I don't know what I am missing but I never left 6.1.
Works fine for me. I don't mind using the stylus and with 6.5 it seems like you have to perform more clicks to do something, but it is probably just in the way you set it up. |
Re: After using 6.5, would you go back to 6.1 ?
I don't love 6.5 per se -- but I sure think it's an improvement. Don't see myself going back to 6.1, but I've been annoyed by quite a bit of bugginess with 6.5 ROMs on my kaiser.

Sometimes I would get a call in s2u2 and when i slid to answer it would just be stuck in incoming call forever and I couldnt quit, had to soft reset many a time. Which is why win mobiles bug-free slide to answer functionality is awesome |
Re: After using 6.5, would you go back to 6.1 ?
there was a poll similar to this before and i voted 6.5, but after careful consideration I have stuck with 6.1 so far as my useable rom. Not to say 6.5 doesn't have some awesome improvements, it's just there is always some bug that makes me go soft resest, hold power and vol down, flash back to back up 6.1 img. 6.5 has been a cruel siren so far but I think she might come around in the next few builds.
Edit: reply to above ^ yeah the slider in 6.5 is the bomb it takes you directly to the alert. S2u2 is a good program though i usually disable it's call features |
Re: After using 6.5, would you go back to 6.1 ?
6.5 has been nothing but the best. i come a long history of 6.1 roms and i give thanks to DCD for all his hard work he put in, but i must say my hats off to ryan now. 6.5 rocks my socks off... i once heard 6.5 could shut up all the iphone users and there fancy interface, and i concur

Re: After using 6.5, would you go back to 6.1 ?
i very much prefer 6.5, GrooveROM 4 is my current choice of ROM's until i get enough time to flash GR5. Thanks groove for all your hard work and awesome ROM's!!!!

I liked 6.1 with mobile shell running but with 6.5... no need for mobile shell. Its very finger friendly, customizable, and just looks better. Never looking back.

6.5 Is awesome. I rarely have to go beyond the today screen and the start menu page to get things done. Access to almost everything on the phone withing 2 finger friendly pages is great. Plus if you use one of the themes that has things double spaced in the folders you hardly ever have to get the stylus out.

never will go back to 6.1, love titanium, the finger friendly menu's, better start menu [after its organized], more fun to cook!

I tried 6.5, and while I loved the new start menu & the backgrounds on the programs screen, I went back to 6.1. I got too bad of battery life on 6.5, was unimpressed by titanium, and some of my favorite apps wouldn't install properly. All I really miss is the program backgrounds, I wish that could be done on 6.1.

I am tossed on this, because I like switching between the two. They each have their pro's and con.

A bunch of people are afraid to flash their phone, that is why I put that comment in. Also it's something that Mods on here talk about using all the time, 2 min with the search features on this site will find most answers. Your comment was NOT HELPFUL at all. Thank you for waisting bandwith |

I much more prefer WM6.5 over 6.1. TF3Dv2 is much more smooth then TF3Dv1, the menus are finger friendly, kinetic scrolling is a welcome addition, and the 23009, (RTM branch), has introduced start menu icon re-arranging by simply holding down on an icon for 2 seconds, and then dragging it to where you want it. I will likely never go back to WM6.1. After using WM6.5, I find WM6.1 to be as outdated as Windows 2000 compared to Windows 7.

Re: After using 6.5, would you go back to 6.1 ?
I love 6.5. So slick and I love how the music player can be played on the titanium. My only complaint was it skewed my screen resolution when using my Touch Pro. I am sure that there is a fix, but I am going to blame my crappy refurb for right now.
