Guest Th3rmal Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 Is it worth it to flash to WM6.5? I would really like to try it out (mainly because of the new interface), but I have some doubts. 1. Does it slow down the Omnia? Slow phones piss me off alot, so if it does it would be a major mood killer lol. 2. Are all apps that are compatible with 6.1 compatible with 6.5? 3. Is the risk of bricking any higher than flashing with a 6.1 ROM? 4. How is the memory on a fresh install?. Looking at screen shots (sectors 6.5 SP3 rom used up 50+mb and his 6.5 plain used up about 20mb, whereas QBUS QB06 rom only uses about 10mb) the footprint of 6.5 is abit bigger? 5. Is there anything that doesnt function in 6.5 that does function in 6.1? Thanks guys :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest maf107ezk0 Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 Ok, now: 1. The build 21210 doesn`t slow at all :lol: 2. I haven`t seen an app that won`t work on 6.5 that worked on 6.1 3. No, the risk is the same :lol: 4. I`m using shokka9`s LITE rom, so memory isn`t ap roblem - after flash I had about 150 MB free 5. Yes, the optical mouse doesn`t work on 6.5... I think you should go to 6.5 :( good luck :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Th3rmal Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 Thanks for your replies :D Do you reccommend sectors 6.5 ROM (non SPB3) or shokka9's LITE rom? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest maf107ezk0 Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 I haven`t use Sector`s ROM so I can`t say, but I haven`t got problems with shokka9`s LITE :D Just go for it :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest qbus Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 Thanks mate :D Any other opinions? :lol: 6.5 looks nicer (I love new menus) then 6.1 but it's much slower (even newest builds). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Th3rmal Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 Ive flashed it :lol: Yes it is a little slower (using sectors rom) but it should be alright. Still getting used to the new home screen and honeycomb etc etc. Might report back my findings :lol: Thanks for your help guys :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kiotu Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 have u tried khuanchai's ROM, i use the latest 21210 light version and i can say it is faster and smoother than sector's..(not by any means disrespecting sector off course..it's a mather of liking i say :D ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Th3rmal Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 Hmm i might try that, sounds like a good idea. MEmory management was good tho, i had 120+ MB left in device. Now only the performance issue remains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nicklashidegard Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 i'm currently running Shokk9's "normal" 6.5 rom (SHKv5, 21210), and after install i had around 115mb free for progs which is more than i've had from 6.1 rom's (not including Lite roms). and that's with manilla included (as in a lot of his Roms). I find the 6.5 as fast, as stable and more user friendly without stylus.. don't think that i'll ever install a 6.1 again :D hope this is any help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter which ROM you are flashing - honeycomb opens terribly slowly comparing to standard (not Large) Start Menu from 6.1. Titanium today is also much slower then for example Manila :D. As I often need to do/open an application quickly and get nervous when I have to wait for phone's response I'm still sticked to 6.1 + Manilla2D (and it's Programs tab).

Yes u right but with the example i gave some posts above i can live with that and i can say im happy with the phone performance.The only thing that annoys me is that windows media player is very laggy and for example when u are listening some music the titanium today becomes laggy too.The same goes for bt.If i turn on it makes the phone much slower.Thats the 2 things i would like to be optimized but i think its going to be hard to do it.

Guest forelli Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 i do suppose you can but i need too a sure answer to that question here is your sure answer: as i have already said in a post, when I get bored, I flash my i900 to another rom, namely one of those: MobileTurk v6.2 (wm6.1) Awad non stop (ANS03), also a wm6.1 rom Sector's 21210 (currently in use) Khuanchai 21210 3-in-one I do it back and forth, cheaper than buying a new phone, and satisfying my need of the finger mouse (try to add a new theme in M2D without stylus, or select a song/playlist in WMP or Coreplayer...) I have a formerly branded i900 Omnia GranPrix, unlocked by the free solution found on google. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
