Re: Windows Mobile 6.1 / 6.5 / 7

I tried 6.5 but went back to 6.1 because of stability.

BUT let me offer a caveat. I don't think 6.5 itself is unstable but just not all programs work 100% with it just yet. I think 6.5 will eventually overtake 6.1 in the near future once all the programs/apps get updated. But until then, I'm content with 6.1

Re: Windows Mobile 6.1 / 6.5 / 7

I'm running build 21501 from Cal's kitchen. My TP is Sprint flavored.

I don't see myself going back to 6.1. Especially these newer builds are so stable. I don't have manilla running at all...in fact I left it in the kitchen. I am running SPB MS3...

side note...I change to titanium for a change of pace but I'm using WM7 project customization from XDA.

All in all, snappy, stable...definitely more finger friendly.

Re: Windows Mobile 6.1 / 6.5 / 7

I tried Copper and Juicy's 6.5 ROMs but had lots of issues. I would imagine the fact that they are building bits of an in-development OS into something we can use right now makes it tough to perfect. I'm glad for all the work going into the 6.5 ROMs but now I am probably going to check out some of the newer 6.1 ROMs and see if I can't get someof my stability back.

Re: Windows Mobile 6.1 / 6.5 / 7

i installed 6.5 and i really have no intention of going back. while i will admit that 6.1 is faster (and i seem to have a memory leak somewhere because i have to soft reset now and then), i just love the titanium chome interface. i'm just hoping that we get some updates in the near future to fix the speed issues and whatnot.
now i just wish it was possible to install titanium on 6.1 *dream*

Re: Windows Mobile 6.1 / 6.5 / 7

Moved to Main TP Forum

I am ruining my own setup I used JD's kitchen to create I will have a real issue if I have to go back to 6.1 I just prefer the 6.5 interface and JD's 6.5 mix runs very sooth on my TP.

Re: Windows Mobile 6.1 / 6.5 / 7

Not impressed honestly. Im back at 6.5. Iris runs alot smoother on Juggs 5.0 or 7.0 rom. On 6.5.. it was jerky as hell.

Re: Windows Mobile 6.1 / 6.5 / 7

When I first started running 6.5 roms (back in the first super early builds), I thought I was going to hate wm6.5. Once we got past 212xx, there was no going back for me.

IMO, wm6.1 = wm6.whatsthepoint

The newest builds are stable and fast, 21222 is doing nicely for me.
