Is WM6.5 faster or better in any way than WM6.1?

[racemepls]

Ive been using 6.5 since the first beta when it had a lot of issues. I tried going back to juicys 6.1 and and even with the previous issues i couldnt stand 6.1 anymore after using 6.5. Jd seemed to work most of those issues out in his kitchen and im using starrom (which is a spinoff of jd's kitchen) and I cant say im expeirencing any. everything loads fast, the pagepool is perfect. I WILL NEVER, EVER, EVER, go back to 6.1 now. I no longer while trying to scroll through my contacts get thrown to z when i just wanted to go to c!

Curious - how do you customize chome?

We have a thread going here. Hopefully, as more and more people start using 6.5, there will be more ideas from the innovative minds around here.

If I want to try a WM6.5 ROM for:

1) A VZW TP
2) A TELUS Diamond

...what ROMs can I try? I really like MightyROMs and use them on both the phones, but currently MightyMike hasn't started using WM6.5.

Using "phantomRom", which uses JD's 6.5 kitchen.
I was amazed at internet explorer's ability to log into Sprint account from main page, while opera had an error viewing page and showing what looked like xml code.
scrolling thru-out was very impressive.
speed was top notch.
the new menu takes getting used to.
the stupid event reminder is a pain in da a**.
the only deal breaker was I finish one call and another came right after without screen refreshed as it had same screen image as call before.
Sending picmail with arcsoft, was best/fastest experienced so far.

Would that PhantomROM work on my VZW TP?

So, after giving it a couple of days, I flashed back to 6.1. It's much better for me.

A new annoyance I've noticed is that if you go into the settings, change whatever setting you wanted to change, poof, you're back on the today screen. God forbid you have several settings to modify, you'll have to go through all the menus once again.

So all in all, 6.5 was fun to try, it looks very pretty, but I don't think it's as functional as 6.1. (Yet)

Yes and it is running best I ever had it.
Sends out very quik and separate Icons when sending/ recieving are very nice & different from icons I had on 6.1roms

That is the one thing that always baffles me with his roms. I always flash his roms and then I figure out they're so slow, and I have to change to something else.

Well if he's changed it to 24 megs, im going to download it. PhantomROM ftw.
