That's why I was asking, what was in there. It's great that it has 6.1, but what does that mean for me? If all it means is .1 added to the name, then why should I care?

So this ROM is quite a bit more than just Sprint TV and threaded SMS (which, incidentally, was a big enough reason for me to upgrade to 6.1 by itself).

That said, I'm not installing this as I'm used to more than it offers and am waiting for no2chem to finish his ROM based off of it.

So far, I've heard nothing about better memory management. People are saying it seems faster, but that's always the case with a new rom. I mean, really, is there ANY functionality tghat 6.1 adds? I mean, just saying it's 6.1 so it's better doesn't mean much. As far as I know, 6.1 only adds threaded SMS.

Can you turn off the threaded SMS in this rom? I get text alerts from nagios and dont want them grouping. If not I wont be updating just because of this.

[QUOTE=silicon]Try those settings with this reg entry instead:


HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\InitProv\PhoneSett ing

Thanks Siicon, I was going to make this post as well as I finally figured it out but was not near my computer. Thanks

P.S. Make sure you use these settings in both areas or it will reset.

Has anyone got a link to a version of HTC Home that will work with this new ROM?

Thanks in advance

is there anyway to install this from my microsd card?

the pins on my mini usb port on the mogul are bent and i can't connect it to my pc

Just a heads up, I'm not sure if this was included in winmo 6.0

In the phone ringer options, you can now select Vibrate AND Ring, like a normal phone.

I'm using SPB Finance and ever since I upgraded to the 3.56 rom, when I add a new entry it tells me that it wasn't saved and it can't find my micro-SD card. So I always have to either take it out and put it back in or perform a soft reset. Any advice?

I don't have the full breakdown on differences. The only truly beneficial NEW function (not simply improved) I can state is the threaded SMS. But the memory management is something that's been stated in many places, and it's something I can attest to. I don't get a 100th as many out-of-memory errors as I did with 6.0, I don't have to clear my memory anywhere near as much, and performance is definitely better. As well, the newer builds have drastically more memory available than 6.0 or earlier builds of 6.1. I'm sorry, but the fact that it's 6.1 DOES make it better, as it's the refinement of 6.0. They built the OS, released it, then went back and figured out what needed tweaking and did it. I really don't see any logical reason NOT to upgrade, as there's nothing WORSE about it than 6.0. So unless you're extremely resistant to flashing, I don't know why you'd want to avoid upgrading.

My reasoning is, if it's going to be the same, Im happy with it how it is now, and it's a huge pain to get it back how I wanted it.
