so far all the releases i've seen are for ppc. am not even sure there is a smartphone (as in no touch screen) version yet. please correct me if im wrong.

6.5? For what? The major update is irrelevant here - honeycomb buttons, finger-gianted menus and finally - sliding panels home we already have built-in for more than 6 months...
At least I have no real OS bugs in s740 noticed here and my Rose neither. Small improvements could be implemented by minor patches...
AVE...
If I remember correctly, the WM6.5 update will be available for official download on 11th of May, in 5 days from now.
And I don't think there weren't any ROM patches for Rose released. Not officially.

It was my understanding that 6.5 does NOT add much functionality to WinMoStd, or at least enough to make it worth updating to it. Most of the 6.5 updates are geared to the touchscreen phones. Word is, that 6.5 actually adds even MORE ways that your handset could be restricted by a carrier or 'corporate' (for those whose phone is controlled via policies by their employer).
I'll stick with my 6.1, thanks

WM 6.1 Aku 1.4 adds the updated IE mobile 6 thatt would be a big step up from PIE. Unfortunately Rose roms so farr have been no newer than aku 1.3.6, IIRC

There are the OEM applications from the HTC Diamond rom here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=395400
I am curious how many of these could be ported to the Titan? It looks like even though the Diamond is VGA, some are QVGA capable.
I am most curious about the Camera app, and if it could possibly work on the Titan.
Can someone create CABs from these OEM packages?

Everyone's so impatient lol. Diamond packages are already being worked on, don't worry. It's the Stanley Cup Finals!!!
Oh I can wait...
I did notice the Opera that is in the ROM is already in cab form, but is most likely VGA. I wonder if it's newer than 9.5.1165?

i havent seen 1165. i have 1024, but you have to use a skin from an old build.
i am more interested in rsshub and usbtopcpopup
new x-button 2.1 is decent but i like the huge button version thats already out better.
My Bad, it's build 1126:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=395121
You don't need to re-apply the skin, and the font works just fine right after install n QVGA.
BTW - I just re-flashed to the latest DCD, and I swear my device is running much smoother and faster, good work!
It might be the placebo affect however

the animated clock is not a patch, it is a theme for animated today, so it can not be included into roms. i´ve got the mda touch plus too, using the niki project v2 edited... works very nice.. by the way: you dont need cid unlock. just flash hspl, flash the rom, and you´re done
quick question, what rom you guys using? i'm using the sedna one and it seems to work ok but i keep getting dropped signals, texts not getting through despite the other person getting a delivery report, straight to vmails etc
i'm trying to figure out which rom is the best for tmobile uk
cheers
u speak about a radio rom...
yes, sorry, should have made that clear
using tom's edited rom and using the modded sedna radio rom at the mo
Tried them all...
I'm on T-Mobile UK too...
Tried all the roms and radios, having previously worked with Wizard, Artemis, Touch and Kaiser...
The ROMS for the Nike are nowhere near as varied as some for other devices... some of the newer ones have some nice themes and stuff, but IMHO, I always seem to end up with a ROM from and established cooker... I've used Tom's stuff on other devices, and his current Editor ROM is at least as good if not better than anything else around. I'm just trying the Sedna Radio with it, but haven't noticed any difference from the old radio yet.
My requirements aren't much - I run Opera Mini from within a java manager, and the in-cooked Jblend works fine, and as well as standard mail usage, and I launcher for my simple today screen, my main other requirement is SatNav, and TomTom7, IGO8 and Copilot all work fine - TomTom7 is less visually pleasing but is the most responsive and easiest to use in-car, so it's my choice. Bluetooth is fine for both GPS and my car stereo, so I can't really find anything in Tom's ROM to man about (except the missing GPRS icon!)
is the sedna radio better? also, just curious, why opera mini not opera mobile 9.5?

Opera Mini is faster and more useable. For 'normal' use, eg looking at message boards, forums, news etc, opera mini is super fast and easy to use. It does the rendering very quickly, and is simple and smooth... Opera Mobile is a bit slower and less useable, but still better than IE!
Has anyone considered developing Android on the Advantage. I have seen it for other WM devices.

Forget it, all devs moved to newer devices, not even WM gets updated anymore...
Damm - Maybe a developer will see this post and maybe...................
I also hope someday there will be new (Win or Droid) build.
I have two X7500 and both last Michy or ABG does not really support my needs.
Slow and not all (good) apps.
Half year ago I bought a Touch Pro 2 but that forum is almost dead too.
When will HTC come with a new, complete, fast, 5 inch or larger screen again? :->
I currently have...
HTC HD2 using..
OS version 5.2.21916
Manila version 2.5.20191914.0
ROM version Dutty's HD2 family ROM (V7) WWE
ROM date 15/11/2010
Radio version 15.42.50.11U
and I'm reasonably happy - everything works.
Thing is - I keep thinking I should install one of the latest ROMs.
Question is - what have I got to gain??
Should I or shouldn't I?
What do you experts think?
Thanks in advance
Ian
PS I know this is a "how long is a piece of string question" but I think your responses may help me decide.

Use this one. It will fulfill your wildest dreams on your HTC-HD2. It's the best in my opinion
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1434860
Stick with it if it all works fine for you.
I am sticking with WM6.5.3 NRG 23699 as works flawless for me & Android is not the best platform for everything & the UI is an ugly muddle compared to the customised perfection you can have with WM6.5
If it ain't broke don't fix it.
Chasing latest ROMs & OS's can be fun but usually has issues that may not be acceptable pending on user device function requirements.
Although not been using my HD2 for the last two months after getting the Galaxy Note, however on my HD2 I have been using the very light ROM called CLEANEX RV for the last one year or so,and should say was very satisfied, very stable and fast never hung on me even foronce, one advantage is that it starts with over 280 Mb of free internal space, the only thing that I have done is to install couple of missing apps like the Market.
Its interesting that after using my GNote for two months now I can say that the only advantage it has over the HD2 are the applications graphical quality their abundance and screen size,believe me or not but I had applications on my HD2 which are more efficient than Android or IOS.!!
Sorry for straying away from the subject but I think that its pity that Microsoft has abandoned such a great and mature OS dumping millions of loyal WM users in the result.

Hey folks,
Do you think that our lovely Titan will receive an official update?
Yes, I think even the gen1 devices are getting the apollo update (WP8)

HTC Titan theoratically should be getting uptil WP8.5 or WP9 unless those version will need extra hardware to run. Microsoft has sold major phones on contract bases. Contracts in Europe and USA are 2 years. Thus, Microsoft would ideally try and not be Android. Instead it will be more like iPhone where iPhone 3G got uptil iOS 5 but runs a little choppy now after 3 updates.
Forgive me for coming into this conversation late then;
Is the plan that Windows 8 will be an update available for anyone with a Windows 7.5 device? In other words, if i go out and buy the Titan this afternoon (most likely) and 8 comes out in a months time, il be able to load 8 on to the device? Or simply that new devices will come with 8 installed?
It's my understanding that Windows 8 and WP8 will both use a different kernel. So the CE based kernel in WP7 will not be compatible. Not sure how they'd handle the transition, but it would be nice to be able to have WP8 on the Titan.

Yes, 8 will be an update, it's not going to be a new device exclusive thing. The Titan is going to get it, as was already said in this thread. And I would not be surprised if every windows phone gets it. Every single one.

I don't think this is true. Any of it. First of all, WP7 uses CE 7 as the kernel and it still has support for WM6 (CE 6) applications. I haven't heard anything about a CE 8, and I highly doubt that they would move on to a CE 8 kernel so early in Window's Phone history. I could be wrong. But even if CE 8 is the new kernel, it will have zero impact on compatibility. It has already been stated that WP8 will run all WP7 apps (and frankly I don't think this even needed to be mentioning; to drop support two iterations in a row would be the death of the platform).

What I meant is that I have heard WP8 will use the actual Windows 8 kernel, as in, the desktop and mobile version will use the full desktop kernel. I'm not sure how that would translate to an OTA update for us, or if that would even be possible without a tethered full wipe and reflash of the device.
EDIT: Here's where I read it... http://wmpoweruser.com/leak-confirms-windows-phone-8-will-use-the-windows-8-kernel/
You're right, they are making it the desktop kernel. I'm sure an OTA update can be done. If not, an updated ROM will be released.
Sent from my PI39100 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
I think OTA for Windows Phone 8 will surely be rolled out. Titan being Gen 2, won't have any issues as far as all the indications go. If anything we will be flooded be amazing apps as there ought to be an influx of apps from Windows 8 devs too!
I think we hopefully will get ample of information in less than 3 weeks from now
This is a interesting topic, but if my memory not failing me, MSFT said at the start that all phones will get future updates. And while Apollo might be the first exeption or not, MSFT haven't stated any changes for future updates so I would say that until they officially says somthibg new, its business as usual. Or am I completly off? Just look at the difference between first and second gen. There was new hardware introduced but all got the update, only diff was if its no hardware for a specific function it can't simply run that...but the update brought the rest of the goodies, and even workarounds to give the best possible alternative was made.
