Is 6.5 any faster?

is 6.5 any faster than 6.1? If it is snappier I would love to do it.
I'm considering switching but if the only thing better is that it's pretty, I'll pass. I saw that memory is better, but I know how to close my programs after I use them. Does it go beyond this?

I tried searching a lot but could not really find anything that relates specifically to performance here nor google so I apologize

Thanks!!!

I've noticed that my Touch/Vogue responds MUCH faster than with the old 6.1 and touchflo system.

It's a bajillion times faster. Why don't you just try it out and see?

Compared to an app filed, bloated rom...yes.

Compared to a modest rom with only apps you use...no. I find 6.5 to be a little slower then my current rom and with that unorganized start menu/poorly thought out start menu. I say skip 6.5. There is nothing exciting about it. I don't even like it on the Touch Pro. At least 6.1 gave us gps. I'll wait till there is a must have 6.5 app before I go back to it.

id say it is a tad faster with a custom rom, ive only had a few random freezes. i also don't use titanium, i use tf2d and it seems to work just as well as 6.1.

YOU THE MAN

this is the answer I was looking for.

OMJ rom IMHO is the PERFECT rom to use with this phone. I haven't crashed... ever with it. no bloat here.

Thanks a million for saving me the headache!

there's a program called reSTART, it's over at xda, not sure if it's here on ppcgeeks. But it allows you to change the icons of programs/folders in the start menu and reorder the start menu.
I'm assuming you're running touchflo if it's slow.
that's the only people that have had a few complaints about the speed.
I hate touchflo and will never use manilla2d.

it's mad faster.
it's because you're using touchflo.
touchflo always slows down the phone.haha.

sounds to me that you were just looking for someone to agree with your point of view that you already created with such prejudice without even using a 6.5 rom. haha.
but honestly, I say wait if you haven't used 6.5 yet,
the official should be out soon, and ported over to the vogue.
not sure if it's out in the kitchen yet,
I haven't updated mine in a while, i've just been busy.
