Why should I upgrade to 6.1??
 

I know there are tons of threads but they are very in depth and technical, I am curious though as to why so many people are upgrading to the rom 6.1

What will it help with? What does it "REALLY" change or fix?

Can I go back to the original rom ?

Thanks guys

My batter lasts like 2x longer with mrgeoffs 6.1

2x!? Thats a hellova increase....

i upgraded to WM 6.1 because of the internet explorer, the threaded sms, and the memory managent.the zoom on the explorer is a nice utility and i love the threaded sms its so useful because i am quite forgetful. and the ram may not appear to be much but it utilizes to the upmost of its ability and if u download oxios you will have no problems. its much easier on the battery and the interface looks nice too. i would recommend upgrading to no2chems rom.

I have alot of the WM6.1 stuff .cab-ed on WM6 but the mem-management is still worth pursuing..

Anyone else want to confirm this alleged immense battery life increase?

What about my current set up?

I use Ilauncher and have my desktop perfect, I don't want to change it. I also use Opera 9.33 which is awesome! Finally I have a threaded SMS program and love that as well.

I heard I would love the TV (sprint) if I upgrade, it looks like I have everything but the battery and memory ( I use memmaid anyway ) stuff.

How would this benefit ME ?

the integrated threaded SMS on 6.1 is better than any of the programs i have tried. I also have noticed significant battery improvements, definately worth the upgrade IMO

But you lose the TV Correct?

Re: Why should I upgrade to 6.1??
 

I have Sprint TV on my 6.1 WM based Touch.

As for why should you upgrade? If everything is running perfect for you then I find no reason to rock the boat.

IMHO I wouldn't worry too much about Sprint tv and their overpriced subs.
Check out www.Featheredaccess.gotdns.com And this sweet lil cab=D>.
There's also Vtap.com

Yeah, kiss Sprint TV goodbye with that.


I just hope no one puts that in google, the easier it is to find, the easier for it to get killed off. :/

after loading up wm6.1 with dereks and nuerom, i thought it was pretty sluggish.
im now defaulted back to stock sprint rom... and everything is nice and smooth.

but i miss the threaded sms (pretty much the only thing i miss)
i'll wait for an official 6.1 or later update with more bug fixes.

Re: Why should I upgrade to 6.1??
 

What exactly do you mean by sluggish?

Re: Why should I upgrade to 6.1??
 

Im not sure about two times but i have noticed an increase in battery. I used to have to charge it once, most times twice, a day on the stock ROM. With no2Chems i usually charge it once every other day and thats using IE and BT alot!

Re: Why should I upgrade to 6.1??
 

Been running a non-stock ROM and sure there are some minor bugs but overall its worth the experience. I concur with my buds here that it is worth moving. Battery life, signal strength, speed, voice clarity etc..

Re: Why should I upgrade to 6.1??
 

you can backup sms messages with the threaded sms's in 6.1 as well, correct?

Re: Why should I upgrade to 6.1??
 

id recomend givinh it a shot c how u like it but my phone tended to lock up way tooooooooo much so i went back to 6.o bigstorage by imc0keman im workin on a semi clean 6.o touch rom willl post if i ever get an internet onnection better than my p sprint pcs connection

Re: Why should I upgrade to 6.1??
 

It sound to me a better question is why shouldn't I upgrade to 6.1? it seems like most of the people who up grade are very happy

Re: Why should I upgrade to 6.1??
 

is really about preference.. i jus upgraded yesterday and so far im pretty impressed.. but not GREATLY, i want to give it a test run for a week and see how things work out.. im using dereks rom by the way

Re: Why should I upgrade to 6.1??
 

I too have been hesitant. Really, I love most everything about the Sprint stock rom. Most of the 6.1 roms have something missing from it that is essential on the stock rom. It seems that everyone gets rid of the HTC Touch 20key keyboard for some reason, for one. When one comes out that is basically sprint stock with 6.1 ill get it.

Re: Why should I upgrade to 6.1??
 

I am totally satisfied with my ROM upgrade, it has taken some time to learn but it functions faster the stock rom and has user friendly options and visuals. It functions more computer like now for me.

Re: Why should I upgrade to 6.1??
 

does anyone have any screen shots of the threaded sms on 6.1 and is there any cab files that you can intall to get it on 6.0.

Re: Why should I upgrade to 6.1??
 

do you have any links to these .cabs that you can put here or are there some already available in the forum for Sprint's Touch?
