yes, after I pressed power key I couldn't wake up my device.

Some one ask me if I can build a ROM based on WM 6.5.1 and
I loaded this ROM as I just wanted to see how latest WM6.5.1 build looks like...
IMHO it's too many problems now.
I reverted to wm6.1.

guys, please get this stable if possible - would love one of these later ROMs on my phone. I have 6.5.1 on my Polaris and Prophet working quite well but the Iolite is my main phone at the moment and I'm not very impressed with the performance of the 6.5 ROMs for it.

cheers!

Hey howerya! How are ya?
maybe you are referring to 23081 or 23075. if you read the posts, it is mentioned that there is a bug in both (device doesn't come back from sleep)that springs from the builds themselves and appears to be worthless for the developers to lose time trying to fix them as new builds are frequently born. you should try 23502 or 23504 which happen to be (as i have tried them myself) the most stable 6.5.1 builds existing in this forum (and for iolite, perhaps in the whole net...).
hope that helps!

I tried 23502 and it looks a lot better than some of the earlier builds. I do miss manilla though
I don't really know much about the development side of things but are these newer builds more complicated than the 6.5 builds? There doesn't seem to be much interest (from the Iolite devs) in 6.5.1 which I find it hard to understand since 6.5.1 is so much nicer to use. I think the only builds so far have come from dancer (I appreciate the work btw.)

Cheers!

I myself do not know much about developing too but I have tried 6.5.1 (dancer_69’s of course) and apparently there isn't much difference between 6.5 and 6.5.1 builds apart from some visual ones. I think this is why devs don’t bother to look at them (some devs use details from 6.5.1 but yes, dancer_69 is the only one cooking for Iolite complete roms and he’s cooking them really well). 6.5.1 also showed some bugs (as you read in my previous post) in their early appearance. You do the math! Come to think of it though, windows mobile is on the whole becoming a little oldy in terms of drastic changes in its UI. They definitely have become more finger-friendly (this is the main difference in 6.5.1) but that’s it. That said we should wait for the new windows mobile 7 if we want to see something really new!

The UI changes in the newer builds (i.e. the Start, OK etc. buttons at the bottom and the larger, more thumb-friendly, menus) are a huge bonus (my personal opinion). I have also, however, noticed quite an improvement in performance with some of the builds.
I'm not sure I agree with your comment on the devs with respect to their lack of interest in the newer builds - I have only noticed this lack of interest with the Iolite devs (dancer being the exception, of course). There seems to be a lot more interest in the other forums resulting in many excellent ROMs. Maybe the sheer lack of devs for the Iolite would explain this.
I too am really looking forward to WM7 but as is often the case I want it yesterday
I've been using nothing other than HTC WM devices since the XDA2 over 6 years ago and have been longing for the day when I no longer need the stylus. Big up to dancer for his efforts in getting us closer to WM7 a little sooner!!

You’re right, I should have cleared it out. I was also referring to Iolite developers. And it’s pretty shame ‘cause iolite is a really nice device with nice potentials, far from inferior to other firms’.
So, I guess we’ ll have to go on with these pretty roms for the time being and not before long we’ ll be seeing WM7 rising!!! Don’t worry: yesterday is near!
And dancer_69, if you’re reading this, I’m sure you’ll find a more challenging arena for your talent!

So long!
