Hi, I'm replacing my little brother's stolen phone with a vogue.
He wanted Diamond like mine but I don't have that kind of funds at the moment so it will have to do.
I have been looking around like crazy in cooked rom department and found several roms to my likings.
1.) v1.6 WDM's 2D Diamond ROM w/ UC by whosdaman.
2.) NFSFAN's Custom WM6.1 ROMs by NFSFAN.
I was leaning towards these two because I can give my brother a phone that feels likes a diamond without giving the actual diamond. (we love Touch Flo 3D)
From someone who has used these roms,
what are the pros and cons of these roms and what are known bugs?
Recommendations? Are there better roms?
I'm currently using Sprint as carrier and will these roms include all the default sprint program cabs? I only ask this because there are separate releases for different carriers. If I'm wrong, where can I find these cabs? (GPS, Radio, TV etc)
I'm also using Vogue_unlocker_MFG_2.31 to unlock my phone.
Am I missing anything?
Just wanted to cover all my bases here.
Thanks in advance,
Siptang
READ READ READ before you flash! If you look through the ROM contents, you will see what is included in the Sprint ROMs.
I am reading.
Where do you think I'm getting all the info that I posted above??
Hey, everybody.
I have seen on the internet that some of the HTC phones has Touch Flo 3D. Is it possible to get it to the Cruise?
I got a geniue"?" Windows Mobile 6.1 Pro as ROM installed.(Downloaded from HTC's official homeplage)

Hi Crisytaiser! Welcome to the Forum.
It can be done but it doesn't work especially well. This is due to the Cruise not coming with any 3d video drivers - although some smart members of this forum developed some, however they cause problems with the way the Cruise's backlight works.
If you're interested, take a look at this topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=465507&highlight=tf3d
It's in the Kaiser forum, but is relevant to the Cruise as well.
I don't know whether the stock HTC ROM supports the 3d drivers (which can be found here: http://www.htcclassaction.org/driverprogress.php#update_20081009_1 ).
You can get it working and it does look pretty sweet, but it isn't reliable enough (IMHO) for everyday use.
You can get TF2D (called Manilla 2d) that works really well on the Cruise. Read about it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=398173
This works pretty much like TF3D but doesn't have much animation.
Before you do anything though, make sure you have a good read of the stuff in the wiki - it ain't that hard to turn your expensive device into a paperweight if you're not sure what you are doing! Good luck.

Thanks for the answer! I will check out you'r added links!
I think this will trully be my dream phone. I have an xperia atm, but I believe the Touch HD pro, will really be the best phone if it ever gets released. Anyone know of a release date for this, so that I can know when to sell my xperia?
They announced it, look at my thread below.

That is the touch pro2 I'm talking about the Touch HD pro, which is code named Rhodium on HTC's device roadmap which was leaked.
I know it isn't really reliable...but it will probably be released somewhere in Q3 from this year. does anybody know what the difference is between the Rhodium and the tungsten ? (exept the color )

Rhodium is a codename. Like Blackstone is the codename for Touch HD. Its 80% sure that Rhodium is Touch Pro 2 True Rhodium doesnt have the same back speaker as Touch Pro 2 but those are just mock ups. (look at Citrine/Topaz... They are Diamond 2)
Lets be reasonable here... For anyone who thinks that a slide qwerty keyboard mobile for MULTIMEDIA will come out, is out of his mind. The Qwerty phones are aimed for business users not casual users

So the xperia is a business phone? You couldn't be more obtuse.
Touch HD still doesn't have succesor Rhodium is new Touch Pro 2. Maybe Whitestone will be
Guys and gals,
Being a WM user since probably 5-6 years, i am having a "faith crisis" :-(
I am a proud owner of TP2 running wm6.5, and am loving all the development, hacking and customisability you get with WM (thanks to this great community obviously).
Problem is i am being more and more drawn to android OS, and its rapid development, applications, net integration etc.
was wondering if there's anyone out there with rhodium having the same doubts??
Rhodium is bloody good piece of hardware, and its a shame to let it go, but looking at Hero....
well, its tempting. cant have both :-(
i must admit i have posted the same in Rhodium section to see all pro's and cons from both sides.
I just thought that posting this topic would help those people looking for information on this soon to be released phone by Verizon (perhaps Sprint will release thier version too).
I'm sure that this subforum will be very busy soon and this is just a beacon for people to find their way.
I'm not so sure it's the Touch Diamond 2 after reading this lol. Seems we need to rally for our own forum and get out of the Topaz forums hahah.
Review: http://www.phonearena.com/htmls/HTC-Imagio-XV6975-Review-review-r_2280.html
One of the more successful smartphones for Verizon over the past year has been the HTC Touch Diamond. We were hoping to see a Verizon release of the Touch Diamond2 later this year, but it appears that the HTC Imagio XV6975 will take the place of the original model. The Imagio is similar to the Touch Diamond2; however it has grown in size in order to add a bigger screen.

Since the HTC Imagio is not part of the Diamond series, it loses the uniquely designed diamond-cut back that we’ve come to love. Instead the Imagio has a 2-tone back plate...

Either way, can't wait til the forums get rolling with Imagio-specific tweaks and stuff!
Topaz is not the Whitestone. We need a Whitestone section soon. =)
I agree, we need a separate Whitestone Imagio forum
...and move the threads under Topaz CDMA to the Whitestone forum
oh who cares what it's called? the signed ROM is out:

New forum ----- agreed
We need a whitestone/Imagio forum.

I'm trying to buy a case and some screen protectors for my soon-to-arrive Verizon (CDMA) Imagio. Amazon has nothing for "imagio" but does have stuff for "HTC touch diamond2" - is that the same thing?!?

No. The TD2 is codenamed Topaz. (see AT&T Pure) The Imagio is a derivative of the TD2 with a larger screen and such, codenamed Whitestone. Due to it's larger size, stuff like cases will likely not work from TD2s.
There is a belt clip on Verizon's website that I just ordered today for my brand new Imagio; just search for accessories under the HTC Imagio there. I did find custom screen protectors by searching on Bing.com. The clip should be in tomorrow and I'll post a 'review' but I haven't had trouble with Verizon's after market holsters.

The Imagio is a derivative of the Touch HD! It is NOT a topaz, there are fundemental differences from the Topaz!

It was a link from bing actually to e-bay. Here ya' go:

I got the single one as had good luck with this one on my Mogul. Hasn't come in yet but I'll let you know...
Ok, got the aftermarket holster from Verizon and it fits great, feels solid, and costs $19.95. Part number was VZW6975HOL and is rubberized plastic. I'll post back after I get the screen protector in.

Notice I did not say it was the same as Topaz and called it Whitestone. I said it had similar internals to a Topaz but has a bigger screen. If I recall doesn't the HD have a MSM72xx CPU and the Imagio has a MSM76xx? Both running at 528MHz however.
Looks like PPCgeeks moved the Imagio threads from the Diamond 2 forum to a new Imagio Forum.
yeh they did...now we gotta get XDA to do the same...
A mod already shot that down under the general discussion forum. I don't understand why as they are not the same device as stated. I guess too much work to add it or something. I can't imagine a new user to this site looking for info on their Imagio would ever check the Diamond 2 forum instinctively...

as a new user specifically looking for "whitestone" information, i agree.
after a quick search i was directed here, but was a bit surprised to see it didn't have it's own section.
Also surprised to see Whitestone without its own forum, although I had to try and figure out what the codename was. Shows you how much I know.
I remember reading somewhere that when the spy photos came out last February or March even HTC said "Whitestone not a Topaz" next to the photo or in the summary. In a forum where master brains will spend countless hours reworking roms from other phones, it can't take that much time to start a new forum. Hopefully the mods will come around before this forum really gets rocking!
Maybe we should see if we can be placed in with the Blackstone folks - after all, aren't the Whitestone and Blackstone virtually identical?
