When the Diamond2 and Touch Pro2 get the Windows Mobile 6.5 upgrade later this summer, it looks like they are getting a new version of TouchFLO 3D (Manila v2.5) that stretches the interface a bit deeper and makes it more customizable than seen on the current iteration. If not on the Diamond2 and Touch Pro2, we'll likely see Manila v2.5 on the upcoming Firestone.

this is a test rom FROM ENRG

For the Home tab, HTC has put forth efforts to bring frequently used tasks to the surface; in this case, the user can place three shortcut buttons that presumably go to a program, contact, or system command. Also, the calendar is still on the Home tab, though we wonder if that section will auto-collapse or simply act as a link.
More screenshots plus a video after the jump!

It seems that HTC Footprints, first launched on the 2009 version of the Touch Cruise, will make its way to all newer versions of TouchFLO 3D. Footprints lets you associate geographical coordinates with a photo.
Click this bar to view the full image.
Settings are going to go much deeper. Currently in TouchFLO 3D, there are only a handful of system settings that are skinned by HTC. Now, it looks like most things, down to Program and Storage, Regional, and even Text Input setting are skinned.
new manila 2.5 from firestone Excelent
very fast and now 100% fingerfrindly
more options EXCELENT
The next build of Manilla, TouchFlo3D 2.5, has been leaked, and this video shows it running on a HTC Touch HD. It continuous the replacement of the normal Windows Mobile UI, and it seems all parts of calendar and settings are now subsumed in the software.
Also new is HTC Footprints as an integral part of TF3D.
this is true ???? can´t wait for new Rom with manila 2.5

Test versions are out. I think that we'll see it within a week.
Probably won't be that stable for a bit though.
You will need to flash or imageUpdate your phone.
I don't think that is a HD I think that is the Firestone that is shown in that video is it not?
looks like an HD... i tried it today on my HD and it looks good, but it's slow and buggy in spots. i removed it because i need a stable device during the week!
Totally agree with cortez.i, tried manila 2.5 yesterday and at present it is to unstable & buggy with a number of things not working properly.
Once these have been ironed out though..........
new manila
hi
i use new manila in the "Energy Rom" it's nice and very userfriendly however there are a lot of bugs as the sms (doesn't work), the weather and the clock (you can't add new city) and something else.. for the speed i used "drive pack beta 2" and it goes quickly as the old manila.
i hope someone fix bug as soon as possible.. it looks great!!

manila 2.5 cab file? we'd all like it to be that easy, lol. but...you can forget about that. it's a ROM flash only... (for now).
I'm looking at the registry values for the new Footprints function on my HD. Seems Manila 2.5 was written for a device with a 3M pixel cam, opposed to the HD's 5M. I've set the value for a 5M function, but that didn't fix anything. I've alos checked FootCam.exe with Dependancy Walker which tells me alot of files are still missing.
If i find the time, i'll post a list of missing files / dependancies.

new manila is realy great much better then rhodium version
can´t wait for a better and stable version it´s realy fast and a great improve
Background: All of the flip clocks posted to date use a modified version of the Manila file "1c684cd8_manila"... this is also used in other mods... such as "Background on all Tabs", "Remove Carrier Logo", etc... and none were modified from the TP2 original... therfore... all lost certain functionality...
Look at the screens posted... none show as many items listed on the Home page as there were with the stock TP2!!!
I have modified the TP2 file to enable the Flip Clock already available in the TP2...
and NO LOSS of functionality!!!
BEWARE... any mods that over-write "1c684cd8_manila" after this install... will render your Home page unusable...
Tested with Verizon on a TP2... may work with other carriers...
Enjoy!
Just copy the files in the zip to the Windows folder of your TP2... cab is in next post... thanks to all!!! cool!
Here is the cab posted from PPC.
And I just tried it and it works perfect.
I have been looking for this since I got the Verizon TP2 so thank you.
i have verizon .. i have a sweet flip clock with out the color square..
but my home screen doesnt work...
is there one for verzion that will work ,, you guys post up with white background.. i want one with clear background.

know this: if i ever get to heaven i'm putting in a good word for you!
Woot! Awesome work! I'd been looking for one that worked properly on the VZW TP2.
Thanks!
P.S. A transparent clock would be nice as well
All my themes will be fully compatable with all carriers without modification of any mode 9 manila files and there is a background on all tabs done the correct non hacked way... and a different one that fits correctly in landscape mode it also does not use cfc compression so no need to have a patched manilla.exe to use my themes they are in one cab file change everything images are compressed even futher then cfc is capable of so the themes run faster then anything else out. This is no small feat as sprint, tmobile, and Verizon all made changes to the TF3D interface to have themes work on all... well... I bet I'm the first ;O) custom animated bootscreens start sounds and full interface.. keyboards and dialer is fully skinned. check them out on youtube PROBEX- TF7X, Naughty By Nature, and Ladies First themes. Pocketnow .com has also done videos on them. These will be available with in the next 2 weeks. ) tested and working so far on Sprint- Verizon- t-mobile- gsm euro version and telus.
The voda phone version of the TP2 will work for the TF7X theme as well as the Ladies First theme but due to the fact I don't mess with the stock manila mode9 or lua files the text remains black so Vodaphone users running stock will not be able to use the Naughty By Nature theme as the text will be unreadable.
Does this have a negative impact on "Missed calls"?
So does this work on the T-mobile TP2? If not, can someone point me in the right direction to get the white flip clock?
Hot dang it worked! Confirmed this works on T-mobile TP2!!! LOVE IT! Thanks!
sauber! eh - fantastic!!!
IT WORKS
confirmed worked on a sprint TP2 with a custom theme. very nice ty ty ty!!!
Can someone help me, i would like to change my 2.5 slider icons so they would look like the rhodium stock ones. I've attached a file (i don't remember which member did this.. sorry) with them resized to work properly with SENSE 2.1 's calendar tab (because of the date shown on the calendar icon).
more specifically, i'd like to know how to extract the files from that cab, and where i can get a 2.5 slider cab so i can change the colored icons to those black and white ones, plus new ones for the footprint & the twitter tab
Actually i have good basics on program developping but i have never made an executable cab file.
Also, does anyone know how i can get rid of taskbar icons that were pre-installed on a rom that i use (uzeb french rom).. i think he used this package ( http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=65911 ) (it's the same icons that i have on my device) but i would like to use the original 6.5 icons instead.
Thanks in advance!!!

To extract files from a .cab, I usually use cab2oem.exe, which will more or less achieve what you want.
To make .cab files, I use WinCE Cab Manager, which costs $99, though there are excellent free alternatives, such as QuickCab, if you don't need advanced features.
Lastly, to replace the icons, you need to use an untouched shellres.192.dll from a 6.5 ROM. Since I was working on a project involving such a file, I'll attach it (as a .cab installer). Just install it to your device, soft reset, and you're good to go. If the cab doesn't work, or it produces unexpected results, just uninstall it and post what happened here.
EDIT: It's attached. I had to zip it because the upload kept failing.
thanks a lot for your time dave, but i didn't see any images after extracting my cab, i just got 38 files without extentions (0cfe494a_manila, 59c727fc_manila,...) ---> 12 of them are 65kb each, 24 are 17kb each + I also have 1XML file, 1 RGU, 1 TEXT and 1 DSM. To be honest, i don't know what to do with that at all
And about your cab, well it did restore the SIGNAL icon and the notification icons (new text, missed calls...) but the rest stays the same (wifi, active sync, battery, volume...)
Anyway, thanks again man you're great

The manila files are as they should be. Manila uses PNG images that are somehow reformatted in a proprietary way, to become the xxxxxxxx_manila files. If you need to edit them, I'd look into Mode9 editor, or another manila editing program. Just set the directory that the xxxxxxxx_manila files are in for all folder options (when you start it for the first time), and you're good to go.
The DSM, XML, RGU, and Initflashfiles.txt files are useful only for cooking ROMs. Cab2oem is a tool for creating oem packages from cab files, so they can be baked into a ROM. Since you aren't cooking a ROM, you know that the files go into the \Windows folder, and there aren't any registry entries (confirmed by looking through the .RGU), they're not terribly useful to you.
As for the icons, I don't quite know what else to do. You could try dumping your ROM and looking for the images you don't want, then dumping a stock 6.5 ROM and taking the images you want from that. Then, you could create a .cab to replace the images, but I think that'd be a lot of work, not really worth it, and there's no guarantee it'd even work.
Also, if you manage to create a black and white slider, post it on XDA please(I like the black and white style from the older versions much more than the colored ones). Hope that helps
OMGHAX 600th post!
well the cab in the first post IS a fully working b&w slider but for SENSE2.1, all the icons are from the winmo 6.1 stock rom so if u have sense 2.1 in your device, my friend you will be happy with that cab trust me (somebody from xda did it for me a couple of weeks ago and i've tested it myself.. but i wanted SENSE 2.5 in french so much and a rom just came out that is not heavy on memory usage so i flashed my device for the 1st time but sadly, the rom was too customized ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/editpost.php?do=updatepost&p=4984984 ) even if the tweaking part is perfect
can't nobody take a look at this? Think about it guys : to have sense 2.5 with a the BLACK & WHITE stock SLIDER. + All the icons are provided with the perfect size (in the cab) except for twitter & footprints!! :S
wouldn't it be great?
so, nobody wants to see their rhodiums to look classy with 6.5? ...
just kidding
bump. i want some classy b&w slider icons for sense 2.5 (unfortunately, i cant help). my today screen just getting too much on it with maxmanila and i think it would look cleaner. the dusk theme has good looking slider, but i would like to see just the slider and not the whole thing (plus dont think its compatible with my current rom; juicy r5)

i'm with you on that, i mean there's too much colour on manila 2.5 home screen for our devices,... at least, if the slider looked like the stock one, b&w, the screen would look cleaned up,.. plus having a stock feel on it
(ag'n, sorry if me english bad izz, native language french )
I would also be interested in the STOCK black and white icons for the bottom bar/slider in Manila / Sense 2.5...
Thanks.
well i'm not a cook or a chef, but since an official landscape support is (obviously) coming soon, i think i will work on that seriously.. all the knowledge i have on the subject is what has been advised by "dave the tytnII guy" a couple of posts ago..
so to begin with that, i need the manilla files coming out of both:
-a basic sense 2.5 (by that i mean a portrait "only" version)
-the files from sense 2.5 with official landscape support (just like in ark666's latest rom)
-plain b&w icons for the footprint tab + the document tap + twitter tab (i have my ideas on how to get these but the final result may not be perfect..)
so i'll be sure to make 2 of them (since there's the document tab in the second one + landscape so there may be more files to handle -- also the one with landscape may not work on portrait versions of sense 2.5)
--->> i'm asking u xda folks : can anyone provide me those manilla files, and will anyone be able to put my work into a cab? (i'm not a pro, i'm just a passionnate HTC user )
currently using nrgz latest 2.5 rom, and i would also like to have a custom slider.
so far
i have done an export of all manila files from the phone to the pc, and then used cfc-gui to export all png file. this gives 1420 images.
i thought i could easily look through these files and spot which ones where the ones used for the slider and then replace them.
the trouble now is, i can see multiple images that could be the one used ( ie i have 5 twitter "t" that are all the right size )
so does any body know the manila file names of the items used in the sense 2.5 bar.
what would be handy is the manila file names for all
14 slider icons, the preview picture, also the icon used in the sense tab settings.
wow, this is exactly the way i have planned to proceed...
now, the only way i can think about is to start working with that, even if i have to do it one by one for all of the image files :S.. then it should work i guess
... but also we need to find the right images for both footprint and twitter tabs...
so nobody wants to see that happen i guess...

hey everyone! i got a question lol..
i decided to go with the tmobile 6.5 and was wondering is there way to have the the animated weather on the home screen? like in the newer sense
Hello
Yes,it is possible,of course.
I do not know about Tmobile ROMs though,but about HTC custom ROMs I do know.
You just need to install custom,official HTC WM6.5 ROM,and you will have everything on it...animated weather especially looks great.
You know the procedure of flashing? If you do not,go to ROM section,this is not a thread for it.
yes i know how to flash..
been coming here since my touch pro1 but i recently flashed to the tmobile rom just too check out the new upadate to 6.5..so i need the official htc rom instead?
You need to run a rom that specifically has the Sense 2.1 (notice SENSE and not just regular 2.1) or a rom that runs manilla 2.5. Either of those has the weather background you are talking about.
The problem is that T-Mobile changes the default wallpaper to something other than the animated weather wallpaper. I am looking for a way to enable the animated weather wallpaper on the TMOUS ROM and will post back if i find anything.

You can try this way. Pick a T-Mobile wallpaper you want. Use HDWall to make a cab from that wallpaper. Install the cab file and soft reset.
From what I can tell, T-Mobile replaced the animated weather wallpaper with some T-Mobile.png for the default wallpaper. Can anyone upload the animated weather wallpaper from the EU ROM or similar?
HTC Sense
Well guys,
I am reading all these posts,and I just wanted to give you all a small advice...
I realize that most of you guys live in the USA or Canada,and I can understand why do you want TMobile ROM that much.
However,I highly recommend official,stock HTC WM 6.5 ROM,because it has all the stuff we need.
Our friend asked for weather animated screen. So,if you really want that,install the ROM I mentioned and enjoy. No hacks,no registry editing,no nothing. Just flash and enjoy.
Besides,it has a lot of functions you will like a lot. ( And you will get a real,Windows Mobile 6.5 look..........
Best regards from Serbia.
well the official ROM is nice because then we don't have to load cabs for the keyboard and MMS fixes. As well as cabs for the my account, VVM, and myfaves if you happen to use it. I did run the EU ROM for a couple months until I found something better and it was great. But I do not need the animated weather wallpaper bad enough to prefer to install all the extra cabs i would need to make my phone work for me.
If you could go into your phone and attach the animated wallpaper then we could load it onto our phones as the default wallpaper and it would make life much happier
Animated Weather aka HTC Sense
@Zylograth
Well,I am really willing to help you guys,but maybe you know the following:
Animated Weather is highly complicated program,which is not consisted of animated wallpapers only. It changes according to weather...if it is rainy,small drops are all over the phones screen,if it is snowy,snowflakes are all around...if it is sunny,sunlight is all over the place..it is the most beautiful today screen I have ever seen.
However,I will try to figure something out. So far,I know it takes about 25 MB of RAM...can you imagine how big that .CAB file would be,when it takes about 25 MB of RAM? I need to find a way to extract it from my ROM and make it usable,(if it is possible at the first place,but I doubt)
Yeah, I am not too worried about it, though it would be nice to have. If I decide that I cannot live without it I will go back to the EU ROM, but for the time being I am happy with the TMOUS ROM lol

Thanks to El Daddy, weather animations are as simple as using HD walls and the hack below (old HD walls cabs made in winmo 6.1 work, too)
Awesome!

Ok so I know I'll always have unlimited wallpaper options.
But with this whole TouchFlo 3d thing being new to me obviously the world I know of the old home screens have changed a little. (yes I know I can disable touchflo and have the old back...but I like touchflo).
So I am trying to make sense of what my theme options are for my phone
Tmobile Touch Pro 2 with stock tmobile rom (phone purchased 2 weeks ago)
Windows 6.1
Touch Flo 3D version 2.1
plenty of memory
So what I am asking is a pretty newbish question despite me being a windows mobile user for 6 years.
How the hell do I get new themes now. The whole manila utility has me confused its apparant i cant use it but every theme i seem to find is a manila theme, or it is meant for a WVGA phone like the diamond.
So where can I find some that are Touchflo 3d 2.1 friendly and how do I go about installing them now.
Thanks fellas/ladies hope i dont take up too much of your time with this question
A couple of items you should note:
1. The Touch Diamond's resolution is VGA. The Touch Diamond2 and the Touch Pro2's resolutions are WVGA.
2. Manila and TouchFlo3D basically are used interchangeably.
That said, I've given up on manila themes for now. There are too many manila versions. There's 2.0 (without the weather on the home tab), there's 2.1 (with weather on the home tab), there's 2.5 (ported from HD2), and now there's new versions of 2.5 with documents tab...
Anyway, I suppose the advice is that if the theme is packaged into a cab file, give it a try. If it looks funny on your device, then it's not fully compatible with your manila version. Just uninstall it.
Also, it may be worthwhile to have a look at the link in my signature...
I knew I switched WVGA and VGA thanks for that clarification.
And essentially my options without manila are try and find a theme in a cab otherwise I'll struggle.
I read that manila is not compatable with touchflo 3D 2.1 and above. Or am I missing the whole point of how manila works?
For all intents and purposes, "manila" and "TouchFlo3D" are the same.
"TouchFlo3D" was the marketing term used for the HTC custom interface.
"Manila" is HTC's codename for "TouchFlo3D".
"TouchFlo3D" has since been re-branded as "HTC Sense" to be consistent with their custom UI for their Android devices.
In terms of compatibility, as alluded to before, it depends on the version of Manila on your device and the version the theme was made for.
Are there specific release threads somewhere on here for each version from the creator? I keep constantly running into edits and things like that but I cant find the specific release threads. Thanks for your help so far
I also have the same device only difference is I am running windows 6.5. Just yesterday I downloaded a theme from this same forum. The dusk theme. You'll find it just a page or to past this post. Very simple a lot of cab files. The only trouble Im having is installing the windows media and weather program. But take a look pretty cool theme.
Extracting Theme from another ROM
Ok, so I have a different question. Suppose that I like a theme/icons from one ROM, but like the features/performance from another ROM (and assume they are the same version of sense (2.5 with docs tab.)) Is there a way to extract the theme from the ROM and apply that theme to the other ROM that is installed?
Thanks!!
Ok so the dusk theme is pretty independent (looks like it has manila built in) that should be all I need to start off?
