How is that possible?

Original Wm6.5 Rom is still in beta period may be alpha.

there is no device specific rom released yet but somehow we can see a lot of 6.5 at internet.

Is that Wm 6.1 kernel + wm 6.5 shell or what?

someone can give liitle bit explain with Screenshots?

Thanks.

New versions of SYS/XIP are released for Winmo6.5 so we managed to port them to Omnia. At least some of them.

[Guest vjs]

Hi!

This is our thread about porting WinMo 6.5 to Omnia.

The first ROM we would lke to show is first version of english WinMo65. It is working, but still have some issues.

THIS ONE IS ONLY FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO WANT TO BE TESTERS.

If you download this one please leave a feedback here - what bugs have you found, what works etc. etc.

The ROM is based on QB06 Clean. It contains HTC Task Manager but it does not look too good (it's too wide on the screen) but allows you to kill apps like before.

It also contains big screen Volume Control.

Be sure to check "WINDOWS BLACK THEME" in settings and RESET PHONE for full experience.

QB06_65 version:

Known issues:

- Today screen is not working yet

- Mouse is scrambled

- Invisible keyboard

Preliminary report

Except for home screen, no other 6.5 styles.

Configuration screen - 2 mo specific graphics

Configuration screen - 2nd screen still in Chinese

Home screen - x and battery indicators too close together

Touching each line item should move that item to the middle bar. Some move some dont. Also big delay between touch and moves, Items which dont move with touch can be moved by dragging to center bar. Issue self fixes after softreset.

Home screen sensitivity and response not good. Selecting with stylus ok, finger selection not good, drag ok with stlus or finger.

Today - hangs on switching themes

Setting -

Buttons - highlighted item is blank, reappears when another item is selected which then becomes blank.

Flashlight - not working

Today button has gone into System

Windows update - screen and menus in Chinese

Connections - all seem to be running ok. Wifi ok.

Programs

Home screen - no options to call up programs except from start menu

Camera, hangs on X, soft reset needed.

Phone - generic dialler with no option to call up phonebook

- contacts and double lined in dialler display

Keyboard - all SS keyboards listed but do not come up. Only the generic kb shows up.

IE search bar in Chinese

Live search comes up with both English and Chinese

Closing IE while playing video or tunes does not automatically close Media Player

Widgets - work

Marketplace - not active

My Phone - works

Opera - youtube plays ok. Opera also aborted abnormally, restart just splash screen and process cannot be terminated. Softreset needed.

Generally stable.

Batt life - not sure yet, will report on that later

If the complete 6.5 interface cannot be ported then maybe just port the current home screen for use in 6.1 ? Is that possible ?

Great work - so much done in so little time.

Btw - found a couple of cabs for 65 stuff somewhere. May or may not be useful. Any case are posted here

Keep up the good work...
