I'm loving 6.5.

I just like to be testing the newest things.

There will be bugs, but they have lessened considerably.

Valkyrie ROM's have been great. I went from 2.4 and ran them all until 2.9.

Currently I'm on itje's Touch-it LEO III.

I just flash, tweak, re-flash....just like everyone here:)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Wild Child:
6.1 roms will be more stable no doubt until 6.5 reaches final status.

WC
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] vagelis:
Once you start using the latest crop of 6.5 [yes FireStorm 2.9 comes to mind] you cannot go back. The UI changes are fluid, kinetic and functional.

Honestly, I'll take a somewhat buggy 6.5, over a 'polished' 6.1 any day now :D
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] bharat4ever:
I am using The energy rom, and no way am i going back to 6.1. Simple reason, scrolling is lot more simple now, without having to use the stylus.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] rogatsby:
If you really rely on your phone for everyday business use, 6.1 is still better. Some of the newer 6.5 roms are very nice and work well, but they are much more unpredictable than a really solid 6.1 rom that's been tried and tested. Playing around on 6.5 is nice, but most of the 6.5 roms are too garish and colorful in my opinion, and they are just not as stable. People will try to argue, but if you had to pick a rom to get you through a crucial business day, I think most people would pick a 6.1 rom. Not just for stability, but also for battery life.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] achmed20:
Energy and firestorm are both realy realy good 6.5 Roms.

the 230xx builds in general (beside 24,25 and propably 28) are both realy fast, stable and energy saving. previous 6.5 builds used to suck all somehow.

so currently i tend to say that 6.5 ROMs have reached thier usability stages. 6.1 is kinda out ^^
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] ejat:

some don't really care if the phone works, if the messages are sent correctly, if the phone rings on call, if the tone sounds on alert, if the alarm buzzes on time. some don't need a working phone and don't mind living with a partially working device.

but let's face it, not everyone are 22. well not anymore. :D

to tell u the bare truth..6.5 sucks..compared to what i had expected..no media player upgrade..****ty home screen..they dissapointed me big time..htc hero has sense ui..now thats a real ui..
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] vinokirk:
MASSIVE YES!!!!!

I tried five 6.5 ROMs about 2 months ago and they all had major problems. I would really like to install these 5 ROMS again so i could do a big write up on the problems they had and why I changed back to 6.1, but I need my phone and its all set up the way I like it.

Just off the top of my head- 1)Some had video playback issues. 2)The new start menu/programs is absolute tosh! Its just not laid out naturally. The original menu you can just read very quickly...left to right....left to right... with the new menu your constantly having to look around the screen for the next (alphabetical) one as the 4 columns arent lined up. Its just not intuitive and seems like a backward step.

I really would love to review the top 5 6.5 ROMS as I do feel quite strongly about how much 6.1 is better but I cant :(

Please smaberg, continue on you 6.1 touch-x project is all i can say...
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Hannigan174:
Why 6.5?

I have tried some 6.5 ROMs, but I keep going back to 6.1 because it is far more stable.

6.5 adds a silly CHome today plug-in, which I find to be as stupid as iPhone icon interface. Okay, not quite, but it is kinda clumsy. 6.5 has nice velocity scrolling, but I could care less, TouchFLO is just as effective if not as pretty. The new swiping between panels is neat, but not useful, and the new Start Menu with its offset rows and/or honeycomb design is simply displeasing to me. It is less enjoyable than either HTC enlarged Start Menu or new TF3D Start Menu.

Also 6.5 seems to have more compatibility issues with various software. So in conclusion I would say I will be sticking to 6.1 until 6.5 is final.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] sonus:
I could never use 6.5 if both MS and HTC don't even think it's stable enough for their own stock ROMS!

I need my phone to work, and to work well. I don't want it crashing on me randomly as I try to view my calender, or add an attachment to an e-mail. And I surey do not have the time or desire to reflash a new ROM every few days. I'll be sticking with 6.1 until official 6.5 devices are released.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] THE GRIZZ:
is someone working on an updated 6.1 rom(for example new version of TouchX, pctech4u...etc)?

whats the latest build of 6.1 ?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] incognito_tkd:
At this very moment i would say yes, but it's just a matter of fact that 6.5 is still under development and it brings a pretty significance change over 6.1 unlike 6.0 to 6.1 which basically just a slight make-up here and there :)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] incognito_tkd:

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] rrockstarr:
This week 6.1 is better

If you had to stick with the Microsoft UI 6.1 dont stand a chance to 6.5 imo. The only way to make 6.1 usable is to install a third party user interface like TF3D, SPB Mobile Shell or PointUI. May I remind you of the creeping panic you feel whenever you have to pick out your little stylus to either start a little program from the little start menu or copy/paste a small part of some small text somewhere. (Last time I did that while driving my car on Essingeleden in Stockholm I accidently ran over and killed two adults and four children but still had to stop my car to complete the damn paste.)

Windows Mobile 6.1 is almost not a user interface. But as long as some people call MS-DOS Command Prompt and Unix Shell one I guess it is too. But you have to agree it is not a very good one. Windows Mobile 6.5 on the other hand is on it's way to become one. I like the new Today screen. I would probably be happy with that one but 6.1 got me started on finding 3d party solutions on le world wide web and so I will continue. For the heck of it.

A couple of builds back the 6.5 UI got the new buttons on the bottom of the screen and ever since then the 6.5 ROMs have been butt ugly. Ive been waiting for the first XDA-developer-ROM handling these new features. Myself I dont understand what Microsoft or some other manufacturer has to fix or what a XDA-developer chef has to solve but there is no doubt in my mind that the 6.5 ROMs will be better than the 6.1 ones, just give it a little time. This week tho ye olde stable 6.1 ROMs are better.

When I scan these forums for new ROMs I hope to find a English or swedish 6.5 (28034+) with Manila 2.5+ worth installing. In the choice of minimum or full install I tend to go for minimum/clean/barebone but some day I hope to be able to select what features to include during the installation like other installations (you know where you select Full/Minimum/Standard or the all mighty Custom).

Thanks chefs, you make my day several days a week.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] fatso485:
how come 6.1 roms are dead. the last one i saw was made in july. why have cooks abandoned it. the results above shows that the majority here agree that 6.1 is smoother but every chef has switched to 6.5

anybody willing to cook a new 6.1 build?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Fr@:
Totally agree with you. A 6.5 with 6.1 start menu would be great.

Moreover: can someone explain me the logic that underpin icons sorting in 6.5 menù? it's nor by date neither by alphabet order... ?!?!?!?!

Yes, Jack 3.x is one of the best stable ROM, with R3AA stuffs. and it is definitely better than any 6.5 ROM.

IMHO, Probably the reason is because 6.1 is no more under development. We got the last stable build and cooked ROM times ago, so it makes no sense to cook a new 6.1 (in which way can it differ from existing ones?) apart from porting new stuffs (Leo, etc), but they are still too immature to be ported.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Oobly:
+1

I don't really get what the benefit of 6.5 is over 6.1. I admit that when you have to dig into the guts a bit, 6.1 isn't very touch-friendly and is a bit ugly, but with a decent UI (like the new 2.1.19manila for instance) you hardly ever have to see the ugly side of the OS.

To me, the speed and stability is worth the trade-off.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] _Robert_:
Smaberg seems to be considering a WM6.1 ROM with Manila 2.1.19 in his 10.1 Ultimate thread... voice your support there :)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] mekstro:
When I got my SE-X1 its was R1-something. And that was buggy as h*ll.

I had to constantly give it CPR to keep the phone alive :)

Flashed with a generic R3AA003 and it run ok, but it was not much "fun".

So I HSPL'd it and flashed with mobilevu's V-Lite 4.3. Good choice! It works, it has some bells and wistles but not too much.

Another great thing is that almost EVERYTHING is removable/upgradable.

It may be a dated 6.5 (23004 based on R2AA010), but it simply works!

And for those of you who does like the 6.1 style on the start menu, try Quickmenu.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] nsane:
I would be very curious to see a rom with

WM 6.1

New Manila 2.1

New OEM drivers

Who knows, perhaps one of the cooks will grant this wish one day.

Don't get me wrong, I like WM 6.5; I really do.

However, for the time being it just appears that the X1 cannot run that smooth when using WM6.5 and Manila. Just to mention a few:

1) Most Roms still have lag in browsing photos;

2) Many Roms sometimes freeze and do not wake up from standby

3) Alarm clock is buggy as hell...(only fix so far is to hack the register and have both the reminder and alarm clock sound go off)

4) Video playback tends to be bugged.

5) RAM usage tends to be very high and Web Browser run out of memory if you browse with multiple tabs.

I believe that the X1 chefs are doing an amazing job and are developing fixes and work-arounds for most of these issues; however, most 6.5 ROMS suffer from one or more of the afore mentioned bugs.

Finally, I still have not gound a single 6.5 rom that was even close to being as fast as the best 6.1 roms.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] djglenn1337:
I have only used Agent's 3.2 rom, but find the battery consumption far too much.

Not sure if this is a 6.5, or a Leo issue.

I think I will go back to Touch X tomorrow as battery only lasts 1 day.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] oluyom:
6.1 ROMs are better 6.5

I have flashed several ROMs to my X1 over the last couple of weeks, and my experience is that 6.5 ROMs are not as stable as 6.1 ones. I have finally opted to stay with a 6.1 ROM.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] papped:
Even on the best 6.5 roms, eventually I'll do some combination of events and the phone will just hang and I have to count to 10 or so...
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Jablko:
I'd guess that it is sorted by most used? Haha no I have no idea but it is easy to change the order though.

Nowadays I think that 6.5 is really neat. Using nrgs and agents roms it is pretty easy to get it fast and (sometimes almost) bugg-free. Still, 6.1 is in most cases faster and more stable. But I'm on 6.5 for the start menu, titanium and eye candy.

I also like the newer more finger friendly builds, but ms has some work left to do before those builds function flawlessly for everyday use.

Which version is "better" is still of course subjective but I like 6.5 more.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mikeeey:
wm6.5 is relatively new, so I haven't seen too many threads covering 3D drivers on wm6.5. Although it's really not a huge deal to me, (2D acceleration still works fine), I just noticed that Call of Duty 2 Accelerated, GLbenchmark, and some other 3d benchmark apps no longer run.

Again, there really aren't any day-to-day apps that I use that require 3D acceleration, but it would be nice to figure out why it isn't working.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] briggs81:
So after applying a new spl and getting root access, i downloaded a Hero rom.. applied the update and it went through and said installation was finished. I let it sit for a bit and nothing happend, so I just pressed the reboot device.

well, since then, it's been hanging on the Rogers logo. I've tried recovering or resetting, and the furthest I have gotten is "HTC Magic" and it still just sits there for ever.

I didnt make any nandroid backups because I am an idiot, didn't think I needed them yet because I have nothing I cared to save.. so I can't try recover via http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Sapphire_Hacking_2#sec06.

I don't have a data or system file.

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Thresher:
If you have HARDSPL installed then your boot screen shows 1.90olinex if you are at STOCK SPL then it shows 1.90.

Before I returned my phone I flashed the HTC ATT ROM that includes radio, then I flashed it with STOCK SPL to return my bootloader from 1.90olinex to 1.90.

That is as much info as I can give you without doing searches of the forum. I think you can handle a few searches from here. Just look for Stock SPL and use the Wiki.

Use File Explorer to navigate to the file you want to send. Click and hold until the menu appears. Click 'Beam File...'

Align the infrared ports and it will send it straight over.

If you have a Bluetooth partnership with a device in range it will also appear in this window after a few seconds, allowing you to 'Beam' via Bluetooth.

Reply to the accept message on the target machine and it will receive it.

It will probably just get dumped in the root directory of the target device. Move it to where you need it.
[Wing, P4350 General] NickPDX:
A friend of mine brought me his Wing to look at for him. If I turn on the phone on it boots up and the screen looks just fine. When I slide the screen opened to use the keyboard the screen freezes and when I close it again it gets all jumbled up. There are lines going through it and I can not make out anything. The phone isn't locking up at this point because I can press menu buttons and other hard buttons and see the screen react, I just can't tell what is happening.

I assume that this is a hardware problem. I was thinking that the cable that connects the screen may have been jarred loose or damaged in some way. If that is the case do you think that it would be as easy as opening it up and repositioning the cable? I don't have any experience with this phone specifically so I don't know if this is a common issue.

I was also wondering if it is possible that this is just a software issue. Maybe the function that rotates the screen for use with the keyboard is messing up and jumbling the horizontal and veritcal lines when going back and forth. I was thinking about doing a hard reset and seeing if this clears up anything. Any thoughts?

I appreciate any help. This forum has always been there when I needed help in the past. I'm sure somebody out there has much more experience and knowledge that I have and can lead me in the right direction.

Thanks for any and all help!!
[Wing, P4350 General] NickPDX:
Update...

So I went ahead and tried the hard reset first hoping that it might be a software issue. I am now at the screen that says "Tap screen to setup your Windows Mobile based device." No screen touches are being recognized. This seems to support my thoughts that there is a loose cable or bad connection. Agree?

I just slid the screen opened to see what would happen and it faded to white.
[Wing, P4350 General] ashasaur:
Yep, if my experience with the Wizard tells me anything, the flex cable from the main body of the phone to the screen is either loose or damaged somehow. Even a small nick or cut into the flex cable will cause it to stop working correctly. I would hunt up the Herald service manual and take your device apart and see what you can find.
[Wing, P4350 General] NickPDX:
Thanks ... I downloaded the service manual and plan on taking it apart. I have to make a run to the store though and buy a small enough Tork screw driver. T5 or T6 I believe.

Thanks again, I will post with my findings when I get going on it.
[Wing, P4350 General] NickPDX:
now what?

So ... I have the phone completely torn apart. I do not see any loose or damaged cables. It was dirty inside the phone but other than that everything looks just fine.

Does anybody have any advice as for things to look for, that might be causing this problem, while I have this thing torn apart?
