no2chems 6.1 has been running actually quite fantastic. I believe he is using a production 6.1 OS pulled from the Kaiser so it doesnt have beta code in it... which equals increased stability than previos versions released within the last week or so.

Dcd's 6.1 runs well as well but I did have a few program conflicts which were resolved when I tried no2chems's release.

Personally I like 6.1. It doesnt leave much memory (about 18-20) but the OS itself better manages opened programs and I have not encountered a low memory error yet. 6.1 is crisp and highly responsive, threaded messaging built-in is a bonus plus the new office suite is installed. I am very pleased.

Does this build also include activating the internal GPS like 2.16?

How is the speed increase of Nochem's 6.1 rom over dcd's clean rom (WM 6.0)?

No. it's too engrained in the OS to extract for a .cab... at least that's the word so far... With the amount of skill running through this forum, who knows.

I made the plunge and went for DCD's 6.1 and am loving it. It feels much faster. The windows folder opens in a second or two when it took like 30 before. I installed it and did a custom restore from Sprite (no registry etc..) and it is working flawlessly. I wont go back to 6 unless a major flaw surfaces.

If anyone is wondering, I went ahead and bit the bullet. If you already have 3.27 and DCD 2.0 I don't see any reason NOT to do this. I flashed the rom only and I didn't even have to reprogram with *228, I used my SPD backup and it restored everything without error. So for so good it only took 10 minutes, I'll post back if I run into any kind of problems.
