6.1

Threaded SMS!!!

And the phone *IS* faster/more responsive. I dont know what settings were changed... but I notice the difference.

vboyz103 02-01-2008 06:41 PM

6.1 seems snappier than 6. I guess it includes bug fixes and optimized codes???

AstronusX 02-01-2008 06:49 PM

It is a trade off I guess. WM6.1 get lest memory available as well. 2.17 has 26meg, 3.16 has 24meg, now 6.1 has 22meg available .

elosogrande7076 02-01-2008 06:51 PM

Im loving the 6.1 the only thing i dont like about it as of now is the fact there are no smileys like there were in the otehr threaded sms and it doesnt have a counter for the amount of letters i am typing......but like everyone said its great and i thank the community for their great work

Available memory doesn't mean a thing when you don't get out of memory errors anymore... 6.1 manages memory much better than 6.

Is that mean we can load as many app we want now? How is that going to work. Just curious.

Most of the RAM that gets sucked up by the OS is basically cached RAM. If you look under the task manager, an application could be running that takes up 9MB, yet the system shows that 19MB of program memory is in use. If you go and open another up, it reduces the cache and frees up more RAM.

I tested this by getting the phone down really low in memory with Opera (not hard at all), and then launching the camera - the camera didn't complain about too little memory being available and it was able to be used.

I had Live Search with GPS, Opera open with two tabs (Engadget and Gizmodo to be specific), Word open with a letter and I was still able to use all three programs. No slowdown to speak of and Live Search didn't crash due to being out of memory like it did on 6.0.

In fact, I've had no out of memory errors as of yet and I'm not closing all of my apps (though I still close some) or using Oxios like I had to before.

AstronusX 02-01-2008 07:55 PM

How many apps did you able to open before it ran out of memory?

EtherealRemnant 02-01-2008 08:07 PM

I haven't actually tested it to get an out of memory error yet... but I can tell you that running Opera Mobile exclusively with a single window on Engadget.com in desktop mode would cause me to be unable to even launch the camera app on previous ROMs and I couldn't run Live Search either. It always crashed.

WM 6.1 is the winner so far. Speed increase is just awesome. It is actually faster then WM5 on the Titan.

dmackdaddy 02-01-2008 08:46 PM

Speed, Threaded SMS and VC Confirmation working, what's not to like?!

saketkutta 02-01-2008 09:58 PM

I like wm6
its faster but now I need to add everything that no2chem deleted
but I have one small prob
when I open wmp, pie, word, messenger then while opening camera I don't get out of memory error but some of the running programs get closed automatically.
can I stop this? or is it normal?

but well in the end I still prefer 6.1 over 6.0

markppc6700 02-01-2008 10:05 PM

6.1 hands down
threaded sms
speed even at 5mb my phone is as fast as a soft reset
memory leak is not as bad as 6.0

wwefandavid 02-02-2008 04:28 AM

i like wm6 better because its blue instead of green :P

Lsme420 02-02-2008 07:55 AM

I used the leaked 3.16 for a few then I went to DcDs 2.0 and it worked great. then I went to DcDs 6.1 and I got some bugs. Like the internet disconects and a few small other things. I personally am going to stay with the 3.16 for a while.

sherv 02-02-2008 05:07 PM

I'm loving using No2Chem's 6.1 ROM! Extremely speedy and the threaded SMS is nice to have :)

bigray327 02-02-2008 06:19 PM

The PIE in 6.1 is an improvement, too. It's much faster (but still slow), has a cool "zoom out" feature, and doesn't double-size images.

6.1... no brainer.

leetsauce 02-02-2008 06:33 PM

6.1 is faster, but the Threaded SMS sucks. I prefer Palm Threaded SMS over it. However, with Palm SMS installed, the entire Messaging app ceases to work. I will wait until this is resolved, or at least I hope it will be.

3boos 02-02-2008 06:46 PM

I'll let you know after I get the 6.1

Is this true that VC Confirmation works over bluetooth Headset?

Note: Confirmation on the handset has always worked.

Does it solve volume of VC over BT issues as well?
