Verizon Win6.5 out! - Page 26

So does anybody know which version of Opera this comes loaded with? Also, to the people running the rom already:

How much ram do you have free on boot?

AND

How much snappier/smoother do you feel touch flo and the rest of the OS are running?

thanks!

I found this a rather poor upgrade and a major disappointment. I tried it for a day and a half to determine it's crap. The new radio v. is worse for me as far as pulling in any better signal. If it helps those with the 3g/1x issue then great. That aside tho the rom runs very sluggish even with most of the verizon crapola removed. The cooked roms are far better and much more stable imho. I'll stick with what works for me. You guys enjoy.

What about contacts? I thought that 6.5 had the new contact menu or is that the HTC Manilla doing? I wanted the favorites listed in the squares instead of the scrolling pics. (I like it better but I also like that when you use myphone it will automatically put your favorites there.)

Searched the thread and couldn't see what build the Verizon ROM is. Anyone?
Is it the 21874 that the beta tester posted on another thread?

cbreze,

The radio was a definate improvement in my case.

Incoming sound quality on the ear piece also sounds clearer.

Read through all the pages of this thread. Saw this question asked, but didn't see too many answers/opinions.

OVERALL, is winmo 6.5 more efficient at utilizing resources than winmo 6.1?
Could this update be compared to upgrading from Vista to Windows 7?
(I don't care about cooked roms)

Okay, I found it last night. Not sure when this was released, but my spider senses told me to go look and lo and behold!

First, this is 6.5 build 21874.5.0.83.

So far, I've installed a slew of my regular apps with no hiccups.

Tested system tools and tweaks so far include:

dciBettery.exe/qwertyMemory.exe

PIM Backup (works great, though I skipped messages). It restored everything just fine.

Process Manager: Fine, though killing apps might be a tad more sluggish

NoPushInternet_v2.cab/SSK TP2 Dynamic Resource Proxy.cab: Work great and reduced memory load.

DHarvey HTC Programs Tab Fix.cab: Works great and gives you the 6.5. start menu, while making the HTC programs menu a tab as before.

UITweaker.cab: Works great!

Disable Verizon SMS Message Sent.cab: works great

PocketUno_v.1.63.cab: Works much better (i.e. faster) than 6.1. I previously had to kill TF3D so PU animation would run at a slightly faster than snail speed. Now with TF3D on, PU is as zippy as it has been on all of my previous phones. Yippee!

I have installed PHM Reg editor, but haven't played with it yet.

Haven't installed BG for all tabs because of its issue that we all knew about on 6.1. Sort of looking for an alternate solution.

Also haven't Installed crystal email and music tabs yet. Sort of want to see how that has gone for others on here, first. I know, faint hearts never win the fair maiden, but hey, I'll let someone else be my food taster on this one.

Anyway, these are a few of the crucial apps I've installed so far. Along with these, all the usual navigation, search, chat, and other apps seem to work great. In addition, I've noticed a snappier SMS/MMS, though I was disappointed to see they had still not patched the unread messages issue and you still must use your up arrow to highlight the text to make it read (or install the SMS Unread Fix.cab "patch" out there that then kills your email, among other things).

I used the same Disable SMS Sent cab that I had on 6.1. Remember to reset.

This is the one I used..

Got this installed.. took about 4 mins..

I was running the stock 6.1 ROM and this one is a little quicker. All my applications and toolbars and such are working fine.. no GPS issues or anything.
