Re: Windows Mobile 6.1 / 6.5 / 7

I don't find Windows 6.5 a particularly exciting upgrade but some elements of it are little QoL things. I recommend it if you like playing with new things but I wouldn't worry if your not. Having upgraded though - I see no reason to go back.

Re: Windows Mobile 6.1 / 6.5 / 7

I'm on PyskiRom v2.1. I've tried 6.5 and a few others. While I like 6.5, Ithink some of the kinks still need to be worked out, which I know they will. So for now (at least 'til I read the latest on Copper), I'm with Psyki.

Re: Windows Mobile 6.1 / 6.5 / 7

Verizon Gimp Pro, running SSK 6.5 build 21500. never going back to touchmyflo or 6.1. My device is faster, useable, and just works better. with 6.1 I would run out of memory, with 6.5 it has much better memory management. I feel it also uses power a bit better. basically I loked my Gimp pro with 6.1, but Love my Gimp Pro now that it rocks 6.5.

Re: Windows Mobile 6.1 / 6.5 / 7

I have tried just about all the 6.5's that are out and I like alot of storage and program memory. So far the best and most stable I have found is Calkulin's wm6.5 21502 build and the one I made with ervious's kitchen from xda. I have 213.64mb program memory and 334mb storage and everything has been working without even a hiccup. (except me) damn jack. I would reccomend either if you want a solid everyday 6.5 rom. Don't get me wrong all the chefs out there are making great rom's and giving alot of themselves and I give them ALL KUDO's for paving the trail.

Re: Windows Mobile 6.1 / 6.5 / 7

I didn't like 6.5 at first either. I flashed the earlier releases and didn't like how slow everything was and it was a little harder to navigate IMO. Now I am running JD's newest and I won't go back to 6.1 again. I am now used to the different layout and think it is a lot easier to find what I want. There is a little learning curve involved.

Re: Windows Mobile 6.1 / 6.5 / 7

I have tried a few builds and Calkulin's wm6.5 21502 build is the most stable until now; I wouldn't flash back to 6.1, but I really was expecting more from this release...

Re: Windows Mobile 6.1 / 6.5 / 7

Im on 6.5 used several builds. I like it a lot love the new menu schema, its a lot snappier than the HTC menu enhancements. Ive used Copper, Juicy, and Mighty and currently running Calkulins kitchen as of this am liking it a lot. I also use Rhodium manila which makes it a little buggy but too bad. Overall I wont be going back. Oh yeah i have the sprint flavor of the TP
