Energy ROM is my favourite custom Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM. But it is not updated for long long time like most of other WinMo 6.5 custom ROM. However, there is one custom Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM is still being updated in year 2013. Yes, Artemis Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM for HTC HD2 is the one. It is based on HTC LEO-S 3.14 (Windows Embedded Handheld 6.5 AKU 5.3.12.10 – Build 29077) and HTC Manila Core v2.5.20221228 (HTC Sense 2022). And supports multiple languages like English, French, German, Italian, Greek, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Dutch, Norwegian, Swedish and Denmark. And of course, it has lot of goodies and nice features added in. If you still in love with Windows Mobile 6.5, you can try it out…


HTC Sense was great back in Windows Mobile age. It sure brings lot of eye candies to me. Great features and smooth transition. But it is getting slower and slower when ported to Android (yes, HTC Sense is slow on my HTC One X). Hopefully, latest HTC Sense is not resource hungry and can perform faster. Let’s see its performance on HTC One (if I get the One).
There should be almost no games and software development for Windows Mobile 6.5 after Windows Phone 7 took over. But you still can try Artemis Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM for HTC HD2 as you please.

Sorry, Christopher. I don’t think so. It’s a very old ROM.
I know, but I was like it’d be fun putting WM 6.5 on my Galaxy S5 (I think 6.5 supported capacitative screens too). Good old times with Windows MDAs haha. Well, still Thanks 🙂
