Topaz TF3D on Blackstone - Touch HD General

hey i was wondering if blackstone will get an offical upgrade to the new touchflo3d (diamond2 or touchpro2) frm htc when the 2 phone releases.
Thanks in advance

I don't think it's reasonable to hope such thing. When you look at the Diamond2 specs, it's nearly a cut'n'paste of the Blackstone's. Allowing an official upgrade to install TF3D2 on the HD would kill the Diamond2 — commercially speaking.
But if you want to get it anyway, you should try some cooked ROMs.

Exactly as clandestino_usr said. For HTC to issue this would kill off other devices by HTC. Rather annoying as Apple give out free upgrades to existing uers, why can't HTC follow suit!!!
You best bet is to use cooked roms. Once new phones come out with newer roms etc, its only a matter of time before a cooked version is available on xda developers. Just wait a while!

interested in this as well. have there been any releases that would allow this?

Yep, there are now several new cooked roms using the 1.56 rom as a base. the 1.56 rom are the roms used in the touch pro 2 and diamond 2 (inclusive of the new manilla/touch flow 3d) - My reccomendation: Dutty's V3 Ship!

hey cool. thanks man. i found a link to wwe 1.56 rom download at htcdriver.com -- couldn't find it when i did a search here in xda. thanks a lot for the help. am downloading now. by the way, i was looking at the dutty rom thread and website for a full list of features that the dutty rom contains, or maybe even a comparison of features side by side with the standard htc rom but couldn't find it --- is that posted anywhere?

does duttys do phone keypad with t9?
i read that somewhere and that put me off this rom

i went ahead and downloaded the dutty v3 ship anyway and yes it does have phone keypad with t9

Unfortunately HD does not have the hardware zoom slider. So we can't do any controlled zoom in the album using these cooked ROMs.

So there aren't any CAB installers present for installation of newer versions of TouchFlo?
I was using cooked ROMs for a while with 2.5 on it, but have went back to the Stock version for the sake of battery life. I'm not impressed by the version 1.3 on it, but I can't find any sort of CAB files for newer versions.

Manilla version and button assignment.

First of all, I just received my new Touch HD last week and I'm looking at the current version of Manilla and ROM. In Settings/About it says:
TouchFLO 3D 1.3.37395.0_1630.38
From which I understand it is running Manilla 1.3? What is the full ROM version? I just don't know how that number is split.
So, it would appear the Manilla is quite old. Is it possible to simply update Manilla on its own?
Is there a newer official HTC ROM with a later version of Manilla?
Is it possible to change the soft button assignments just with Registry tweeks, rather than installing another utility to do it? How?
Thanks.

I bet there is, check htc.com, pick your country and head over to Support.
Latest official roms can be found either on HTC.com or here on XDA.
To update to a newer version of manila you need to flash a rom which has newer version on it. You cannot just update manila as it is embedded into the rom.
I've established that I have the latest version of the official HTC ROM - 1.56 etc, so would I be correct in thinking that it's all just TouchFLO 3D 1.3 from HTC?
Shame I can't just update TF3D:-(
Is it likely HTC will release a new ROM with a later version of TF3D? Are they likely to release a new ROM with WM6.5 some time?
What version of TF3D has the coloured TAB icons?
Is there an explanation anywhere that explains the precise differences between the various versions of TF3D?

Extremely doubtful that you will ever get a stock rom with either manila 2.0+ or wm6.5 for the HD. To get these you need a cooked rom. Why would HTC spend time on this when newer model phones are being released. They want you to pay for it and buy a new phone. Not get it free on an free upgrade.
You are gonna have to use a cooked rom to get what you desire. Read guide in my signature for advice on flashing and post further flashing queries in that thread
Use the search function and search for manila 2.0, 2.1 & 2.5 and you'll see the differences.

Windows Mobile 6.5 & TouchFlo 3D 2.6

When the TD2 gets the windows mobile 6.5 free update will the new TouchFlo be included? Im just wondering if im going to have to update both at different times or will TF3D 2.6 come bundled with WM6.5?
Thanks
I think it will come with 6.5.
i think it probably will come together but i'm hoping not, i want 6.5but i don't want the new touch flo 'cause personally i think it's not as sleek looking as what we've got now
idk i think the colour will be a nice addition to windows mobile 6.5 and will show off the beautiful screen on the TD2
eagerly anticipating this
WinMo 6.5 for Topaz
Hi Forumers,
Can someone guide me to where can I download a ROM for TOPAZ with WinMO 6.5?; Can't wait October to experience WinMo 6.5
Personally I hope they release 6.5 with Manila 2.5 (or whatever the latest one is)
6.5

Hi, I got my Diamond2 3 days ago, flashed about 5 ROMS so far, and Dutty's seems to be the fastest and most stable IMHO
September 19, 2009 05:42 AM Duttys Topaz WM6.5 R2
http://htcpedia.com/soft/htc-topaz-rom.html
This one runs on 23016 build of wm 6.5 and Manilla 2.1
September 18, 2009 02:52 AM Duttys Topaz WM6.5 Leo R1
http://htcpedia.com/soft/htc-topaz-rom.html
This also runs on 23016 build of wm 6.5 BUT Manilla 2.6 Leo skin (VERY COOL INDEED)
I'm currently using WM6.5 R2 of Dutty, cause the Leo with Manilla 2.6 is very slightly sluggish, but very useable. Once you've hard-SPL'd, i'ts very easy to flash a new ROM, so feel free to try both
I recommend udk's rom.
By the way i think TD3D v2.1 will come with the new official 6.5 rom. Not 2.6.

That's my understanding as well.
Isn't the manilla 2.5/2.6 pegged for the new LEO handset?

I hope so... I think it's ugly. How will I get my wallpaper on my home screen the with way they plan to clutter it up?
As has been stated on several forum posts regarding Manilla versions, 2.6 will not run on the Topaz; It is a new build for a different chipset, and is functionally no different to Manilla 2.5
2.5 is available on many ROMs in the Topaz ROMs forum, but I believe that these are rips from devices which already have 2.5 available.
As an opinion, I found 2.5 to be very slow in the custom ROMs I tried. Manilla 2.1 looks almost identical (you can get skins to add colourful icons, if you like that sort of thing) and 2.5 added no additional functionality which I needed.
Dutty's rom is the best i tried...
I tried dutty's rom but i had a problem with iGO. It runs in 640x480 area and another issue it not supports video calls.
Can some one tell what is the new feature of TouchFlo 3D 2.6 ?
Or any URL/Link where I can see the new feature and download if any for update?
Thanks.
I have installed udk's ROM with WM6.5 and Manila 2.5. It runs very smoothly and fast, and it seems quite stable up to now. I haven't checked other WM6.5 Leo ROMs, so I cannot know how udk's compares with them; what I do know, is udk has produced a very good ROM.
For me, there is no question going back to WM6.1 or Manila 2.1. The new combined Windows + TF3D interface is very cool and functional...

I was just about to try udk's rom. So i have a question to you. Have you installed the suggested radio for the rom? I'm still using the original radio. Should i install?
My radio version was already 4.48.25.13, and after installing the ROM it stayed that way. Reception is fine.
Yes i installed the suggested radio. Now its perfect. I had an 3G issue but its solved also. Thanks for the recommendation.

Cab for the current EzInput that's on all the current Roms?

I've just flashed my HD to the official HD rom from last April (after using many good cooked roms). Just wanted a change back to stock.
I really like the new Ezinput on all the latest roms but can't seem to find it in .cab form. I've been searching for quite a while with no definitive luck. The only one I tried was from the actual Ezinput thread and it didn't do so well on my device.
Anyone please point me to the Topaz type EzInput 2.0 that I've been using on all these great roms?
Thanks

I would begin my search from HERE
I'm looking for something like this too. I don't know wich Sense version is included in the new official 2.5 sense HTC ROM? Couldn't find it anywhere.
I hope one of the chefs use this in their new ROM, that would be awsome!
Grtz,
FeareX
2.5.192 is an 'older' version. Try PM'ing one of your favorite Chefs as they may have a link to some older roms from around the first of the year. You could try browsing f1ip.net as well.
Or you could wait because they are updating the theme to work with the 2.5.2012 release of sense.
i want to play around with this theme too. they made 6.5.x look good. we just have to wait.
Guys, this theme doesn't got landscape support. So personally I don't think it will work nicely on Rhodium.

Anyone help me !!!

I use O2 XDA Stealth. I see themes GTX of HTC very beautiful. But it need rom WM 6.5 support Manila. So I can install that rom or not?
Remember to do a little searching before you post. There are WM6.5 ROMs available for the Stealth such as this one but as the phone was originally made by Gigabyte and not HTC you won't find any stock ROMs with Manila installed.
