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.

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.
I'm currently using "Miri WM 6.5 21885 V 33.0" ROM and it works great.
However, i would like to move on to a ROM with htc sense 2.5 cause
i really like the new interface.
I've flashed some htc sense v2.5 ROMS but nothing came close in terms
of speed to the manila v2.1.
Can anyone tell me what is the fastest manila v2.5 ROM out there?

Unfortunately manila 2.5 roms are generally slower than manila 2.1 roms due to htc sense (manila 2.5) not meant for HD (meant for HD2).
As for which is fastest, this is really down to trial & error, i.e. you trying out a few and finding this out yourself. Everyone will generally have different opinions on this or loyalties to certain rom chefs so you'll get different answers from different people.
You could also check out this benchmark thread as a rough guide
Hi,
Does anyone have a ROM of Windows Mobile that would run on the HD2.
One without all the HTC gubbins? Almost a stock ROM of WM I guess?
Or are there tweaked WM ROMs for speed out there, and what is the latest? I thought 6.5.3 was but notice some cooked ROMs include 6.5.5?
Thanks.
Look at my barebone or lite ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=606932
Miri also has a lite WM6.5.X ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=614006
Build 23518 is WM6.5.5 and build 28205/28014 are WM6.5.3. Not much difference, 6.5.5 seems a bit faster and has threaded email, but is also often less stable. Buid 28014 is the most stable WM6.5.X build so far.
Whats the difference between barebone and lite.
You say barebone has htc messaging and lite doesn't? I thought it would be the other way around?
Oh... I actually mean HTC enhancements and it mentioned about a canvas which I don't really understand.
I'm new to WinMo and the HD2!
Barebone is without the HTC phone canvas (the dialer skin). Both have no HTC Messaging.
You need to try a few ROMs to see what you like best.
Hi, I've got a question...why is windows 6.5 always used as basis for romcooking? isn't it possible to use win 6.1 as the performance is better and than for example combinante with htc mega design or so as in the actual roms with win 6.5? i didn't find any stylish and well cooked 6.1 rom for opal
I think it's because no body feel like using a cook 6.1 ROM instead of official 6.1 ROM.
The official ROM always the most stable and the performance is better than any 6.5 ROM. It uses just 30% of RAM when closed manila. And it's no bug.
The thing is I use 6.5 ROM because I want to upgrade my PPC. That's all.
I Use 6.1 German and it is great looking at performance....but the fingerfriendlyness is better in win 6.5....so i'm searching for tools to improve that in windows 6.1....i think...on the opal...6.5 sucks :/ Tested mandy roms from here...but very slow stuff...

No buddy here i want to correct you that wm 6.5 is not used as base actually wm 6.1 is only used for cooking as a base rom.
What you wanted to ask is why only wm 6.5 roms are being cooked right?

You say that it only uses 30% battery then what would u say for this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=628325 which has more free ram than wm 6.1
That why I am waiting for your ROM jagan2. Because you like to make LITE ROM and I will use LITE ROM only. I love to install my stuff myself.
Not that the other M2D 6.5 ROM is not good. The other may like it.
Oh, now I am using mua30 lite ROM ^^

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.
