Using AKU 3.08 with radio 1.64.08.21 which seems to come with 5.2.19199 so is older than some cooked builds.

Radio is always risky, but I have seen 5.2.19716/19700 floating around.

Current ROM is a Vodafone "released" one so at least I know it will work.
I will prob go with the official HTC one when it is made available.

I haven't thought about 6.1 yet, looked into it a month ago, but decided not to do it. I depend on my phone too much.

**Electronic Punk** · April 30th, 2008

The version I have is just as stable as 6, but generally doesn't bring much to the table.

Threaded SMS is a mixed bag. I like it but I have now been having the same conversation with someone for several months and there is no continuation anywhere and gaps of days. You should be able to split or close threads.

just start a new text without responding to a previous and bing, thread split

**Electronic Punk** · April 30th, 2008

Doesn't work for my current ROM at least.

Amen!

I want to be able to do ROM updates without having to sync with the PC damnit!

looks like fun, I wonder if my current hardware will run it

**kcnychief** · May 7th, 2008

Um, no

It's WM 6.1 - which your device may, but the technology itself is specific to the diamond. A lot of the apps, such as the Youtube viewer, are actually custom written for the diamond.

Watch the video in that link, a bit long but pretty cool. I stopped towards the end, but the lack of QWERTY keyboard turned me off. I love my tilt (htc 8925) mostly for that reason. Someone kick me if they show a QWERTY in the last 30 seconds

thanx chief

I tried watching the video but it is way too long in the tooth so I am relying on you

**madmatt** · May 7th, 2008

The Diamond is impressive, but not for me. I'm waiting for the follow-up to the TyTN II.

It was a bit long - as I said I gave up too

Interesting - post some info about that (I'm too lazy to search

)

**ming** · May 7th, 2008

Didn't like WM6. Battery seemed to drain faster than on WM5. Lost some of the O2 tools as well on the upgrade, otherwise I think I'd have stayed on it.

**kcnychief** · May 8th, 2008

There's a lot more going on with WM6 obviously - but there are many steps you can take to increase battery life

**Electronic Punk** · May 9th, 2008

Current rumours suggest that HTC is close to releasing a ROM update for the Kaiser that will add proper driver support for the 3D chip ie have submitted to Qualcom over licencing.

Pretty cool if it is true as the chip is pretty similar to that on the Diamond (in name anyway) so we might be able to use that Manilla interface - although I doubt that will come as part of the update.

**madmatt** · May 9th, 2008

I just want a final version of 6.1.

you'll get a copy and ask us to beta test for you

**kcnychief** · May 30th, 2008

Finally applied a ROM update to my tilt - was very behind. Running very snappy today

**Aprox** · May 30th, 2008

I'm hoping Samsung / AT&T releases WM6.1 for the BJII as soon as its final, instead of waiting a year like they did to release 6.0 for the BJI.

**kcnychief** · May 30th, 2008

Was hoping the ROM update would clear an annoying issue I have from time to time, but no such luck.

Once and awhile when I go in to view my messages, it cuts off part of the screen and still shows the "Today" area in the bottom 1/4 of the screen. I can open a message and it will cover it, but scrolling is required for message selection below the area
