WM6 what ROM

I am jumping the gun a little bit here. But what ROM kitchen will we be using when we get the WM6 tomorrow?

Will the OEMs from the 3.5.1.0.4 work on the WM6?

You're not getting a ROM kitchen tomorrow. You're getting a pre-built ROM. Helmi says the kitchen will be a little while.

Sounds about right - So, instead of getting the magic goose tomorrow, we just get one of the golden eggs

I'm gonna wait for the goose, but I'll be watching all those posts by the first wave of flashers to see how fantastic the new OS is!

I actually like this idea. Knowing myself, I'd load it up with a bunch of crap with a kitchen, and not know what I broke, or what was truly broke. This way, all the problems are going to be the same between most users, and not caused by a bad OEM etc. In the end making a way better Kitchen.

Ok, go easy on the new stupid-new guy here, but what is a "kitchen"? I thought we were getting the complete OS.....

A kitchen is the name for the files that allow a user to create there own ROM. The ROM is what essentially is the OS. So in getting a ROM, you are able to flash and get WM6, if it were a Kitchen you would be able to add your own OEMs (other programs) to the ROM before flashing.

If we flash with this WM6 ROM, will we lose all the ROMs installed from a previous kitchen, or will this just update the OS?

Thats why I asked what ROM will we use? Will we just upgrade our WM5 to WM6 and keep the ROM we have on our 6700? Or will we need a WM6 ROM. I didnt think all of the OEMS from my WM5 ROM would work with WM6. If so Which kitchen? Will the Titan ROM work? Or will we just get WM6 and now way to use it?

EDIT: I missed the part aboutthe prebuilt ROM. That answered myquestion..

Think about it like this....
You are updating your operating system on your PPC (like you would if you updated your computer from XP to Vista). The thing with the PPC is that it has some programs built into the operating system. After you have updated your operating system, then you can add additional programs as you like.
Hope that makes it easier to understand.....

When you run the upgrade utility, you will lose everything on your phone. Make sure you have a backup of important files, and sync with Outlook if you have Calendar Items/Tasks.

If you want to go back to the custom ROM you built with a kitchen, just run the kitchen upgrade utility.
