Default WM6.5 available (external)

Hi guys
I've been looking at these folks from some time now, and they seem to have made 6.5 ROMs that work - Clicky!

But I have no idea how to download the roms, neither how to apply them to the lobby one - any help @ that will be appreciated

And by the way - that forum is doing some pretty good stuff about the monet, it'd be nice if we could post the most essential stuff from there (with permission of coruse)

Thanks for the attention

I've downloaded the latest 6.5 rom from htc365 and can confirm that it works in English with no obvious problems.

Can you upload it somewhere - rapidshare/other sharing server and make a little guide how to do the operation

I think it'd be highly appreciated here

First install USPL by following the instructions in this post.

Then extract one of the zip files below and run ROMUpdateUtility.

When first installed, the language will be set to Chinese. To change to English, move to the settings icon (cog) and press the right soft-button. Then press 0, then 2, then right to select 'US English' and finally the left soft-button to save. You'll need to restart the phone to apply the setting.

The clean version does not include the DAB radio software whereas the integrated version has it in Chinese. To get the radio app I copied the 'TTP' folder within 'Program Files' on my wm5 lobster over to wm6.5 and it runs fine. See below for download.

I have only tried the 'Clean' version of the rom.

Monet 6.5 ROM - clean version
Monet 6.5 ROM - integrated version
Monet 6.5 ROM - other version
DAB Radio UK version

Issues so far:
  • Settings icon on home screen has some Chinese text
  • Activsync fails to synchronise contacts
  • Calender display shows months text incorrectly

I should point out that the 'incorrect calendar display' issue was merely my incompetence - by default it displays Lunar months, but this can easily be switched off.

I still haven't managed to get activesync to synchronise contacts but pim backup worked well enough.

The time taken to start windows is a little annoying, there seem to be 3 or 4 different splash screens now.

How did you revert to the original wm5?
That's the only thing stopping me from flashing that 6.5
