hello everybody.
I have been absent for so long time but I was too busy to follow up all your work guys.
I have 2 simple questions that couldnt be answered by a little search I did.
I am looking for the fastest more stable and plain wm 6.5 rom with only touch flo 3d on it.
I am not a heavy user of this pda. It is mostly used as a simple phone and a gps navigator using destinator 7. (i may switch to i-go 8 in the near future)
I really do basic stuff so I really dont need all the nice goodies you preinstall on the cooked roms I have read about.
i forgot to mention that i currently have my touch cruise with
official rom wm 6.1 3.13.405.0 WWE
radio 1.59.42.15
Any help?
p.s. sorry if my search wasnt good enough but I was absent for a year and a half and it seems really difficult to discover the exact things I am asking.
cheerios
hm......i have succesfully installed hard-spl and also succesfully installed latest radio rom 1.59.46.12
i also installed succesfully pcarvalho's rom. now only thing to do is to find a clean 6.5 rom. I saw that installing the driver for touch flo 3d is really easy.
sigh...i feel sleepy now but at least i didnt bother any of you guys with my silly first questions
I'm not a pro here but have been following that 3D driver development for Polaris and tested that TF3D port on my Cruise. Unfortunately current TF3D on Polaris is good only for testing/fun/lulz/whatever and a lot of headache in everyday use (the first second I saw it, I knew I couldn't live with that slowness and bugness every day ).
My unpretentious advice is you better get latest pcarvalho's 6.5 rom (usin it for everyday - works good) and install Manila 2D v2.0 from HTC Mega on top of that. You may also consider the Kostas244-Rom with Manila 2D v.2 already cooked in there. As for those tons of extra stuff - I don't need it either but just don't mind it being there if it doesn't hit RAM or processor time too hard
P.S. My opinion is the dream of properly working TF3D on Polaris will never come true :sigh
Cheers!
thanks for the response mate.
I will try kostas's rom later this week.for now i am pleased in general with pcarvalho's one.
Please let us know how you get on - I would like to do the same thing.
with full wm6.5 coming out now, I'd like a clean light 6.5 too.
Need more memory.
Just the plain stuff, with .net and not so many apps installed, just the defaults from htc like opera and quickgps.

Hello All,
I purchased Touch Cruise (Polaris) from a reseller in middle east (came with windows mobile 6.0). I couldn't find the updates for my phone on HTC website.
After going thru the threads here, I found that doing a hard-spl I can install the WWE version of wm6.1
I used hard-splv2 olinex then installed wm6.1 (official), installed 3d drivers (htc-ca-Polaris-drivers.cab) everything worked smooth.
Then, I installed the TF3d cab found in one of the posts here, restarted and it worked good for 5 mins. Then, the phone became too slow and sometimes I had to remove the battery to restart as the screen freezes and I cannot even see the shutdown message (yes / No).
I haven't installed anything else besides the above mentioned cabs.
I have seen the videos of Polaris with TF3d in youtube and wonder why my phone doesn't work like that.
Please help.
regards
Niranjan
quick answer
you have some reading my friend
1. please read the R1 bug fixing list first - this will give you very good perspective on what might basically wrong with your setting
2. All developers as well as testers are saying that the 3D issue is not "Daily" use yet - so my recommendation for you go back to the 2D for now and watch closely after the progress of the great developers here
Yep, unfortunately you have to flash the ROM again and perform a HR 'cause something of the 3D drivers still stand and your device could remain very slow. I suggest to flash M-Amine's creation, best ROM with 3D drivers and Manila 2D till now
tf3d is not yet designe to work smoothly with Polaris. it's only the 2nd public release which something like prebeta
it consumes massive amounts of battery power and has some driver issues.
i'm sure that when the final release comes out you'll hear about it here.

I'm about to buy an Elfin this Sunday, and after some googling, I want to clear some things up.
1. What is Manilla2D?
2. Should I install Onyx as soon as I get my phone, or should I wait?
3. What's the difference between TouchFLO2D and TouchFLO3D?
4. Is it possible to 'install' TouchFLO3D to an HTC Touch P3452?

1. What is Manilla2D?
It is a theme which comes with most WM6.1 roms, search this section to get more skins http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=260&order=desc
2. Should I install Onyx as soon as I get my phone, or should I wait?
You should read first a lot, Onyx WM 6.5 doesn't have Manilla, WM 6.1 yes,and especially how to flash in the stickies here http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=374
3. What's the difference between TouchFLO2D and TouchFLO3D?
Elfin doesn't support TouchFLO3D
4. Is it possible to 'install' TouchFLO3D to an HTC Touch P3452?
Answer above
Enjoy Your Device
Manilla2D = the Diamond Style.
3D= The Cube, 3D Touch Style.
argh double post
Manilla2D is basically a downsized version of Manilla3D.
and by the way, if you are looking for the HTC touch cube, its not longer available at any other phones, except for the touch and the dual.
More info about Manilla2D avail here
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&client=opera&rls=en&hs=Nqb&q=htc+touchflo+2d&aq=f&oq=&aqi=g:s4
@jeremy: Wait, from your link to google, I take that you mean mean Manilla2D is the same has TouchFLO2D. But tito12 says it's a 'theme'.
And does the HTC Touch P3452 have TouchFLO2D?
Manilla2D(M2D) is TouchFlo2D!
Nonono!
M2D has different themes for you to choose, and the themes is developed by our xda-developers community.
HTC Touch P3452 dafault handset does not have M2D, you have to upgrade to Windows Mobile 6.1 in order to enjoy M2D.
Here are a few pointers.
1) You choose to upgrade either to
- HTC Built ROM, which is their upgraded version
- Cooked Roms, which is made by people just like you and me, but they are usually more functional and practical. And Most people recommend cooked ROM as the HTC Built rom which is commonly known as stock roms, is underpowered and have too little applications. (And lags .. blabla )
One such cooked rom is Onyx and the one I am using.
Which can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=426540
Yeah I read about Onyx. I'll use the stock ROM for a couple of months, and then look towards Onyx.
This is what I've understood.
Elfin with WM 6.0, neither has TouchFLO2d, nor Manilla2D. If upgraded to WM 6.1, it will have Manilla2D, but it still wont have TouchFLO2D. To get TouchFLO 2D, we have to install a separate thing. And Elfin doesn't supportd TouchFlo3D.
Am I right? I'm confused because jeremy89632 says M2D has different themes available, and tito12 says M2D is a theme.
EDIT: Here, Is this the actual interface of an Elfin with WM6.1?
Hi Cyanide
I should have used "interface" instead of "theme", and this interface can be skinned, there are many on developpement and hacks section.
Okay, so Manilla2D is an interface that comes with WM6.1 for the Elfin? And,here, Is this the actual interface of an Elfin with WM6.1?
Yes, manilla2d is touchflo2d.
Okay thanks a lot for the help
This is slightly off topic, but I just want to ask all the Elfin/Elf users here, how do you guys like your phone? Would you recommend it?
EDIT: Also, I read another thread 'http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=531260' in which the guy's phone turned out to be fake. Since I'm buying a used one, what all should I check before purchasing it to ensure it's authentic HTC?
I'd just like to point out that I'm going to buy the phone tomorrow, so I need an answer for this (my last post) asap
Also, I read another thread 'http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=531260' in which the guy's phone turned out to be fake. Since I'm buying a used one, what all should I check before purchasing it to ensure it's authentic HTC?

" chinese elf clone "
Tips to get a legit HTC
Buy by walking in, not online.
Get from legit sellers, like big time corps.
See if the box have HTC logos and windows mobile logos around it.
Check for warrenty.
Thats all.
Im pretty happy with my elfin, except it lags GPS.
Umm, what do you mean 'lags GPS'?
HTC Touch Elfin and Elf does not have GPS.
Or known as the global positioning system which tells you where you are.
If you want to get a GPS for your elf, you must pay around SGD100 or around US$60 or even cheaper if you get from ebay.
I know it doesn't have GPS. You wrote it 'lags' GPS, so I was wondering what you meant. You probably meant it 'lacks' GPS.
Anyways thanks a lot you all, I finally bought it.
I'm avoiding making a new thread, so here goes.
How do I format the memory card? Will simply connecting the phone to the PC in data transfer mode and formatting it from there do? Or is there some special method?
Congratulations
Just insert it and start explorer to see that it is visible
There may be a good chance that this thread maybe closed... but I'll ask it anyway...
What ROM are you using and why?
I'm asking as sometimes, reading threads like this exposes people to an idea/function/app/etc that they didn't consider in another ROM...
I'm using BlackSTONEhenge because it's really fast and not too heavy on the memory usage...

I was using cloudys rom, this is close to stock, very stable and fast, also low on memory useage.
I used to use his rom on my diamond back in the day.
Now flashed back to XannyTech Grid Leo 2.6 rom, as this rom is perfect for me. Fast, lots of tabs, eye candy, apps installed etc....
I am using XannyTech Grid Leo 2.4 as the version 2.5 and 2.6 seems to be a bit buggy to me.
I'll allow this thread to continue (for now), but I'll move it to general discussion forum as its not about rom development
As for which rom I use....see my sig ......as for why I use it, you'll just have to flash it to find out!!!
Rick
p.s. I have 2 HD's, one for general use, one for the constant flasher (me) who wants to try the latest builds. My sig only represents my everyday rom
I was using T2M rom v23544! It's very nice!! free RAM 60MB....!
Using ROM in signature.
Stable, not too many unneeded programs cooked, all programs I need (see signature) work...
After installation of everything I need I still have over 74 MB program memory free...
Oh, and Manila 2.1, which I like more than 2.5
I use Topix 3.5 wm6.1. Super fast ROM, after restart 68perc free RAM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=460640
1.56.405.1 [43972] WWE
WM 6.1 today screen with launcher 79% free ram or 153 mb after reset, don't have to close anything, don't have to soft reset...maybe once a week...if that, most reliable OEM rom I've used in nearly ten years of ppc/WM use.
boring huh....just the way I like it
Occasionally google maps will have glitch where the screen doesn't refresh properly after the sip has been on there, but thats about it
XannyTech Grid Leo 2.4 is used here for the same reason as wind79, but in addition it's the only rom I've come across that can control the song playback forward and backward via volum control when the screen is turned off. XT lost something on the way from 2.4 onward. =(
Any other roms around that do the volume/song selection trick?
I am use:Rom..kwbrs Topix 3.5.10 [Sense 2.5.2012][5.2.21897] without hTC messaging
Stable and good battery..45% memories after softreset. good performances...
I'm using Miniterror's.
I liked Miri's, but something (can't remember now what), made me look for better, tried Energyrom, but the Cookie thing messed with my volume buttons, and was a hassle to fix.
I expected Cloudyfa's to be amazing, but the radio was bad for me and I tried Miniterror on a whim.
I'm very happy. I just wish he included some of the apps (like GPS stuff and the action screen) like in the Energy ROM, then it would be perfect.
I'm planning on going to the current release, but so far, I'm problem free so I'm slow to move...

Using this one too. Tried several WM 6.5 ROMs. I do not see what do I gain with WM 6.5 but see clearly what I lose: A lot of RAM and speed.
in Topix 3.5 WM6.1 I start with 35% RAM used and with Opera opened it's on 55%, not 80% like WM 6.5.

6.1, Extremely fast, stable, doesn't include all the stuff I don't need (specifically Manila which really slows the HD, even if not in use), and it's open so I can easily modify the ROM and add the stuff I like!
I wish there was a 6.5 ROM with the same benefits out there, but honestly I'm very happy with my current ROM and don't see much of a reason to change it.
I'm a Dutty rom fan... see my current rom in my signature. This rom seems to endure anything, it's fast, reliable and I found no bugs whatsoever! You just need to take it easy on installing apps and pay some attention to running processes and close useless ones from time to time. With this rom seem to work any Sense 2.5 mod (and I tried allot of them). Oh, I'm not a wm6.5.x follower (don't like that stupid bottom bar, and also that stupidly narrow taskbar) so I'll stick to 6.5, it's more appropriate for our Blascktone.
stock! stock! stock! 1.59.707 (48753) WWE - the fastest ROM I've ever seen

Hi danim, where can i download this ROM? I went to the link you provided, but can't find the download link...
please advice
energy rom use on my HD why? simply i dont no.......eny beter sugest...
I was using miris until he stopped support for them.
I also had GPS problems (maybe it was my radio...) 5 seconds lock - 5 seconds no lock - really frustrating.
Reflashed with latest radio and energys latest titanium last weekend (I like my HD minimal)
It's got 90% of the apps I need (I added pocket player and SKTools), is super fast, and I get a GPS lock within seconds everywhere now - great because I work abroad (and I get lost a lot).
Miris roms served me well, but this new energy rom is even faster - very very happy with it so far.

Hello there.
i'm newbie here and would like to ask your recommendation.
i'm using htc touch pro 2 (T7373) and when first bought it, it was preinstalled with WinMo 6.5 official roms WWE Asia.
after few weeks, i found that Winmo6.5 is sluggish and feel like to downgrade to winmo6.1 and resulted me to download and flash the winmo 6.1 Asia wwe rom.
with that, i'm happy since it is faster than 6.5, no lagging issue, sms also smooth. but 2 things i missed much are home weather tab and twitter/peeps application.
is there any option for me to install those thing into my device. i wish that i can have twitter tabs in my touch flo 3d and also, the home screen displaying our current location and weather.
the existing weather can only accomodate preset location and not a real time location.
any helps will be much appreciated and sorry for my local english.

I think the advanced features you want are only available in the 6.5 (or 6.5.x) ROM. You might try flashing a newer ROM. Since you are flashing WWE, you might try the latest NRG ROM - it is really excellent, and based on the latest software from MS.
