Hi,
in my experience I've only seen ROMs with or without Touchflo but never Touchflo nor cubes in standalone packs..but I might be wrong (happens often ). A very personal opinion: those gadgets may look cool in a screenshot but make Artemis quite unusable because our device is not powerful enough. I encourage you to try a Tflo ROM anyway,it doesnt take so much time...obviously be sure to have your original ROM and make a backup of your phone to be able to restore if you're not happy.

Landscape touchflo3d?

Hi, I've been searching around but I've only found pages relating to having the touchflo3d interface in landscape on the original diamond and the HD
Is it possible to have it on the diamond2 as messaging is extremely difficult in portrait mode!
Thanks!

Hi, welcome to the forums.
If you install a ROM such as this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=579076 then you will get landscape messaging. Just turn the phone on its side.
Not sure if it does it on official ROMs as its been such a long time.

Alternatively you could install TD2 Tools (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=536410) which has an option to switch on, under the 'TouchFLO Settings' tab the standard TouchFLO rotation function. I have done this and am able to write SMS messages in landscape mode.
With this approach you do not need to change your ROM (I am currently using HTC stock ROM).
Hope this is of help?

Hi, thanks for the welcome.
I don't think I'm confident in flashing the rom yet as I want to make a backup of my stock rom for warranty reasons. Could you please point me in the right di8rection of doing this? I've used a dump tool but it's given me a bunch of RAW files..
Baldrick! that was just what I wanted! Thankyou for that

No problem...glad to be able to assist.
BTW - if you like TD2 and find it useful I know the developer would appreciate a small donation (I have)...he is working hard on the next version which should be even better.

co0kies theme requirement

Hey Guys,
Since Android hasn't finished yet i will not switch over yet, and wait wil switching OS.
instead of that i will use an Theme for the TP2. ( co0kies Home Tab )
i found co0kies home tab theme very great, as i searched for further info i found out that i need Manila 2.5 ( 2.5.1920, 2.5.1921, 2.5.1922, 2.5.2011, 2.5.2012 )
Where can i get this? After many hours of searching i found out that it might already be on the phone, but i dont know what version is on it.
can someone help me with this? Co0kie wrote this to find it out.
To check your Manila version: go to the settings tab in Sense, select "About phone", and then "Software Information".
If you have any problems with this mod please report your full Manila version (e.g. 2.5.xxxxxxxx), the device and ROM you are using.
Where is this tab named "Sence" ?
Can't find it anywhere x'D.
So, do i have Manila ?
If i dont, Where can i get this?
If i do, How can i see what version?
And if i found out what version, What is this tab named "Sence"
Another thing is that if something goes wrong, how can i return to the normal WM 6.5 ( NON - MODDED / THEMED )
Also, Last question.
Do i need to flash my phone for this?
Greetings

If you're still on the stock ROM that came with the phone, then you don't have Sense 2.5
The only way to get sense 2.5 in this case is to flash a rom with it. You should be able to get all the necessary information in the rom development forum

THANKS! i will search for this, very usefull !
Sence is the Bar below right? cause at Settings > More > Today > Items i have "HTC Sence" In the list.. and its checked on..
If i have this "Sence" Where can i get the Manila thing?
I found manila.exe in my File explorer\Windows\manila.exe
How can i see the version of it ?

"Sense" is the entire pretty little graphical interface that you're playing with...the clock, the tabs on the slider, and everything in those tabs, is all the interface that HTC built to go on top of Windows Mobile. HTC has been calling their shell "manilla" for a long time, Sense is just the latest generation of that. There is no "sense tab", and the exact location of where you can see your sense version varies....which carrier's model of TP2 are you using?
However, it's kind of moot...like ctbear said, if you're still running the stock rom, you're not on 2.5 anyway, most likely 2.1, so you'll still need to flash a ROM if you want to use co0kie's home tab

i live in europe, and my carrier is Hi.nl so i dont really know what model im using..
thanks for the information, could you provide me with a link that has the 2.5 rom? i'm so afraid i will choose the wrong one since there are so many around
thanks for the information again!

Hey guys, flashing a ROM isn't the only way to get 2.5 on the phone. I followed the directions in the "Manila Sense 2.5 cab?" thread (forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=661941) after a Task29 and a couple of hard resets using the stock TMOUS 6.5 ROM...I have 2.5 running fine with the CAB from post #4 of that thread. I put CHT and CHT Editor on and all is well. It's way easier to use a Energy ROM, but I was having problems with messaging and connectivity so I went back to the stock ROM. As I said, all is well...going on the 3rd day with the setup and haven't had any hiccups. No tinfoil hat phantom usage issues, either.
YMMV, obviously.

If you got the phone from KPN/HI you will have an unlocked TP2 for which you can get the latest Rom on the HTC website. Manillaversie: 2.5.20121225.0 is Sense 2.5. Original Dutch Rom should be 2.07.404.1 NLD.
If you need any more info let me know. You can also send me a Pb in Dutch if that would be easier for you.

In Norway the TP2 is now coming with Sense 2.5 as standard stock ROM.
To the question, slide the slider at the bottom to right(all the way) then you'll be at the settings tab, follow cokie's instructions from there...

You dont need to upgrade your rom to get Sense 2.5...

I myself havnt tried it as I DO flash roms. However, Xhero doesn't seem to know much about anything on this phone... nor to use the search feature... nor how to use google and search "The difference between Manilla and sense" Soooooo I wouldn't recommend flashing a phone just yet to him/her.
Xhero... do your reading.. LOTS of it before you start trying to customize your phone. You dont want to screw it up and then have to come back and start a new thread asking how to hard reset your phone... Please please learn how to search the forums too. The best advice that can be given to a new user. If its too difficult to use that search key in the top right of EVERY page on every thread on XDA then in google search what you are looking for and type "XDA" after it..... ie.. "Manilla 2.5 install cab XDA" or something like that and Bingo Bango you'll be brought to the thread!
A little research and common sense goes a long way. Have fun with your phone and remember to post relevant questions in the appropriate threads and you'll likely get your answers super quick!

I have allready guided him to the correct Romupdate from HTC. Yes there are other ways of getting Sense 2.5 but this is now the easiest way for him to obtain it.
In the Netherlands the TP2 is also now being shipped with Sense as I got mine last Saturday with the new Sense on there.

Sense porting to 6.5.3

Hi all, noobie cook here. I tried updating to 6.5.3 on my HD2 but found that because the menu is now at the bottom of the screen the HTC Sense interface is out of alignment. There is now a gap between the top bar and the Sense interface.
I found that the HTC volume controller doesn't work either.
Could you guys please tell me how to fix this as I am sure a lot of cooks have managed to fix it (looking at the existing custom ROMs available here).
thanks in advance

In case you're using an older manila you get this issue. To correct it try to search for position fix. You will find several methots to fix it, but I'd suggest to use one of the latest (TMOUS) manila. They're already compatible with wm 6.5.x.

Many thanks for your quick reply Tistitus. Do you know if there is a list of the main Manila folders in EXT so that I can use the TMOUS one? I mean the one similar to the T-Mo UK version ie. minus the doc viewer which I don't like/need but takes a lot of space.
thanks

I Found that if you download sense 2_5_2016 WVGA LOC - you can download from this site, and drop the packages into the Ext packages folder it resolves the issue.

ROM Cooking

I have been looking around and getting prepared on building a new ROM, have got everything lined up and ready to go except for a way of testing the ROM.
Don't want to test it on my own device for the fear of bricking it. I have come across some people use an emulator, is there such a device for Opal,
Microsoft itself has 2 versions but none of those support 240x320 resolution.
A solution to this problem will be much appreciated.

There is absolutely no way to test ROMs build for opal on any kind of emulator or as such...
The only way to test is your phone.

Hi! I'm trying to cooking a new rom for opal but I have same problems.
1 - How can I put ezinput in my rom? I tryed to put the cab as a traditional porogram but it don't works....
2 - Where can I find manila 2D for developers? the .cab I usually install in wm doesn't work if cooked
3 - I installed one theme, but how can I use it by default?
4 - Where can I find usefull tweaks for cooking?
Thank you in advance for answers!

You have you try it on your device dude. I have done it a million times!!

what are the chances of bricking it ?

Lol, see my frnd if you want to cook roms you must have to test on your device only. So better stop searching alternative coz you won't get one. Plus you will often face bricking while cooking rom but u can fix it by flashing another rom... Though sometimes there might be a heavy damage too.
