6.1 back to 6.0 - HTC Excalibur

now i love the 6.1 by Kavana but it seems it lags too much to start up and eats the battery so much, so my question is.. can i downgrade to 6.0?

Also, before downgrading i suggest you take a look at what you have installed that is loading at your start up and running on the background, because that is probably what is causing the lag at the startup and the high battery consumption.
I'm saying it because i experienced the same and after optimizing my startup/boot the phone started booting real fast and the battery is lasting a bit longer.
At last, depending on how old you battery is and how intense is the use you make of your phone, downgrading might not help at all, probably a new and/or higher capacity battery is the best solution.
Hope i helped ratter than confused.
Cheers.

DO you mean a threaded SMS program... Like a program that puts your messages in a threaded format? is that what you are referring to?

why yes it is. but i think crazyasslatino went back to wm6 if im not mistaken, so he no longer has threaded text.

But you can always use a third app program to do your messages like threaded... I forgot what it is called though... Uhhhh... Let me try to find out...

dont want the thread to be lost if you dont mind, and stop with the google thing, if i knew what i needed i wouldnt come here and ask for help

Ummmm stop with the google?
Did you notice what i typed in the search engine? Im sure you knew or had a clue , you could of thought of those keys words yourself.
You don't need to know names to programs, KEYWORDS for what the program does and what it's for, will spit out 1000000 of results.

Mikey has really helped you out there bruv, it's all in the key search words. I did a search myself and came up with similar results by using "WM6 threaded text".
I admit Mikeys choice of key words is better than mine.

Address-autocompletion in WM6

Hi Folks!
Has anyone managed to get the To-Field autocomplete functionality in WM6 back to how it worked under WM5? Under WM5 it checked the name I typed into the To-Field against the Addressbook in "realtime" - under WM6 I now have to go into the Menu and select "Check Names".
Ciao,

I don't find anything negative in "Geek" and I would define myself as such but since I definitely did not mean to offend anyone and since It's sure that at least one person did take it that way I've changed my posting.
Lol, ok ok
My autocomplete seems to work fine on WM6. I start typing the name and i get a list automatically pop up so i can just click it. I get this for SMS and email. MMS unfortunately i still have to click to and then add names manually but then i had to do that with WM5 anyway.
Didn't really get offended, just having one of those days mate, sorry

That's strange - for me it does not. Have you installed an extended ROM? Because I haven't and thats the only difference I can think of.

No problem mate! But still I will not call anyone Geek anymore since it's apparently not for everyone as positive as for me.
Nope, only cabs i've installed from an ext rom are the ones that get video calling working.
Pretty sure that it was working before then though......
With WMXL v.20 coming soon (no doubt you'll be upgrading) you may want to try a hard reset or perhaps a reflash to see if your problem persists.

Na lol What gender is the dash
Blackberrys are males cause they have balls, so I assume Dash's are female.
Three questions actually - - -
1. Why is there lint in my belly button?
2. What is the meaning of life?
3. When will there be a WM 6.5 version for the Excalibur?
(lol, I think I know the answer to the last, seeing as how Microsoft has ordered 6.5 ROM's to be pulled)(Or should we not talk about that, if so delete this post)
Well I got a problem with my S621
I try to update the rom from wm5 to wm6 and know my phone is dead
I can only enter the bootloader I have try everything, from testing all the roms I have found to copy them to the sd hopping that will fix i, but is still without os.
If someone can help me with these I will really be grateful for years.
My S621 is from Mexico.
Thanks in advance

Upper case letters at the start of sentences - doesn't seem to work for SMS messages

Is there any way to make the TP2 automatically put a capital letter at the beginning of sentences when composing an SMS text message? It does it in other applications, but not there.
Try XT9, seems to work with that, but that's for when your typing with the on screen keyboard.
EDIT: Never mind, I guess it has a mind of it's own. I tried it to make sure and now it's not doing it.

The whole reason I bought a TP2 was for the physical keyboard.
I understand...
Maybe a hack will be released soon, but you only bought it just for the keyboard? What about performance wise??? Keyboard was just a plus for me.
This is ONLY an issue with HTC's interface. If you go into the actual WM6.1 sms interface, this does NOT happen. It is an unfortunate thing too. I am a bit annoyed, but I just deal with it as it looks a lot hotter than the standard MS interface.
Yeah your right. I noticed in WM6.1 sms interface it only CAPS the "I" after a period or whatever. If you would type "I didn't know I could do that" it would look like this. "I didnt know i could do that"...horrible!!!

For me it took care of all the apostrophes that were common in things like "don't" or "can't" and would capitalize I or the first letter of the first word in the sentence. I hope HTC fixes this in later builds, but of course at this point we don't know.

A custom ROM will fix this before HTC does. And anyways, T-Mobile won't let us get our hands on the update, since they barely ever push out updates.
I'm just gonna wait for HardSPL and custom ROM's to be released. That's the best bet.

Oh I know. I am pretty much waiting for the same thing. HSPL and a good custom rom. I just really hope that either someone uses the same 6.1 branch with a lot of finger friendly enhancements, or I may go 6.5. I dunno. I have 6.5 on my Hermes. Overall like it a lot.
Any one have an update or suggest on this issue? This is the only topic I found on the subject. I really miss the phone fixing my punctuation.
Again the problem is only with HTC's SMS text interface.
I too am interested in this. I was hoping Energy's ROM would have fixed it but I didnt expect that.

I just got my T-mobile Dash and I read around this message board and see all the cool stuff you guys do. Im not completely stupid (at least in dont think lol) cause I flashed phones before, some which turned out good, and some ive bricked (lol)
Anyways what Im getting at is a i want a cool home screen like you guys got. I think you guys are using "Chome" if im not mistaken? Where can I get it? Is there a specific one I need to get? Do I need to flash my phone or is it just like a .cab file that I install on my phone? What stuff do you guys recommend I get to just get me started on making a cool home screen? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks Again

All the 6.5roms have Chome. and they are very customizable. You will need to flash your phone if you want the full package. Check the sticky and make sure you do an application lock prior to flashing.. I personally recommend ookba's 3vo rom and edit everything with Roloracer's titanium filechanger. I also recommend you search this forum for the icon and background thread for some cool backgrounds for your phone. image size for backgrounds are 320x240
RE:
Hey I looked and searched around for the ookba 3vo rom and had no luck. Is It just a rom that flashes me to windows 6.5? Can the dash have windows 6.5 on it? are there any other things or steps I need to Do before flashing the phone? Do I need a program to flash the phone or is it just like a ROM you would download from T-mobile, hook up the phone with usb, an let the install do the rest? Please help. Thanks man.

you dont have to look very far, the rom is 3rd from the top of the list!

Very true. 3volution series rom's are the biggest thing since sliced bread here in the dash world. Let me answer a few questions for the thread starter.
Is It just a rom that flashes me to windows 6.5? Can the dash have windows 6.5 on it?

It is the rom itself that will flash you to WM6.5 using the fore mentioned thread will directly link you to ookba's 3vo rom for the dash. Additionally check the Sticky out. (the very first post) it has a list of everything im linking you too.

You don't really need a "program" everything will come in the files downloaded from the 3vo rom thread. The one thing you will need to do is download and install an SDA application unlock found here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=355789
After that's done check out this thread on flashing for the Dash, its a little outdated but everything is the same. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=415225

m2.5 landscape? i kinda have it only a little misplaced

hi all
for what i know everyone says manilla 2.5 isnt possible in landscapemode
i dont know how but ive managed to get it in landscape
it aint perfect because the big icos are misplaced and my background is to short
but i can use landscape made
because i have it possible so the files are somewhere on my phone to make it happen or is this a known thing?
gonna make some pics of how it looks and in the meantime please share youre thought
edit:screens added
Okey dokey.... Mister, this is what we all have :| So, what are you trying to say? you used a prog to landscape your screen then took pics of it to show them to everyone that happened to have the EXACT same thing? Let me tell you, whichsoever way you rotate your device, what you get is the "portrait" Manila! Its not MIS-placed, dearie, it is NOT there!
Advice: Try to change the thread title to "Rally: Let's Port Manila 2.5 to Landscape"

2. Or, are you telling me that although you can port Manila 2.5 to landscape, you have a life and therefore you won't do it?

nice one dude... am i missing sumthing here, im assuming that there is a file to install that u will put on here or there is a file that is already on my device
sorry bringing it up again
but it´s been days i´ve been look for some ROM or cab with the manila 2.5 FULLY landscaped
all i´ve found is the default music and photo tabs tilting ones
but i´d like to have all the screens rotated
seen it on older models as touch pro and even on touch hd on some videos
using gsen or gyrator on that roms only gave me a black screen on 2.5 and a useless almost half screen with a lot of glitches on 2.1
guess full landscape support it's possible since touch pro 2 is out some time now and hd2 has been announced
so, guys... is there a way to get manila 2.5 fully landscape mode?
thanks in advance
