I'll try running 6.5 on my other Titan when I get a chance. I'll compare it to the 20931 build ROM I'm running in my other Titan and keep you guys posted. It may take me a few days to get around to it though cuz I've been kinda busy. Stay tuned...

I'm running it on my xv6800. So far seems fast and stable. I will probably go to the DCD 4.xx rom because I can't get S2U2 to work right and there office apps have not been added yet.

I tried this WM6.5 Kitchen, and had to dump it after a short trial period. For one thing, it doesn't support S2U2 yet (or maybe it's the other way around). I also had a problem where the dialpad would keep coming back to the main screen for no apparent reason. Anyways, it's not really ready for prime-time yet ... but it is close.

Regarding all the comments on how a particular ROM is faster than the older stuff ... If each ROM truly WAS faster for each claimed increase in speed, by now my XV6800 would be responding to my desired commands before I even pulled out the stylus.

I didn't notice any significant speed increase in this ROM vs. any of the other Kitchens I have used over the last 6-8 months now. One thing to keep in mind is that just like with desktop Windows, the longer you use a device, the more junk that gets stored in it - and it gradually gets a bit slower. I'll bet you can see the same speed "increase" just by reflashing the exact same ROM you've been using for the last few months (to do a little spring cleaning).

Cheers!

Hey, this ROM works really well and quite snappy too. I like the new IE and it doesn't seem that slow in this ROM. I also just found cab files for the MS Office software and installed it.

Also, to fix the dial pad pop-up issue (which I've had with other roms), you need to edit the registry. Use Total Commander or PHM Registry Editor -

Find the key

HKLM --> Software --> Microsoft --> Shell --> ShowTitleBarClock

Change the Value to 2 (Decimal)

Works for me

Can you share the Office cab?

I did that comparison and for me the 20931 works better because WM6.5 is a memory eater. I can say WM6.5 is faster when there's nothing in the memory but with a couple apps running, mem is very low and the Titan gets real slow.

I'm back with 20931.
