{Oct 14} Flaxjef Dutch WM 6.1 ROM + m2d BLACK + 3D-drivers NLD V1.0

IMPORTANT ------> Perform a hard reset after flashing new roms <------- IMPORTANT
If you report issues I know is related to you not doing a HR after new flash, you will in most cases not get a answer from me.
Also reporting issues allready mentioned and confirmed is a waste of time.​
Hi,
I am a newbie here @ XDA and after a lot of work and learning I managed to build my first rom. I was looking for a dutch rom with manila after I tried itje's m2d rom. But there was not one there, so I made one myself. Everthing is translated inside this rom to dutch (as far as I know). I hope someone will use this and leave a message.
This is how I cooked my rom:
- I have used a shipped Windows Mobile 6.1. rom
and added (and translated):
- Manila2d (black theme)
- Manila Configurator
- 3D drivers
- Youtube
- Googlemaps
- Album
- Opal Volume Control
- Audio Manager
- Task Manager
- Opera 9.5
removed nothing (can make a lite one if people want that)
I used the orginal dailer because I use videodailer very often and it's working.
I used the orginal camera because it have auto-focus function.
I want to say thanks to UDK for his briljant kitchen.
I also want thank the Polaris 3D Development theme for their great 3d drivers.
And I wanna say special thanks to NeoS2007 for his quick reply's and great help to my stupid questions.
I did put a lot of work in this rom. It is running fast and stable, I didn't found bugs for now so please report found bugs.
Known bugs:
- analog and digital clock are "on" by default, can be changed by manila2dcustomizer
- video from album not working
- status bar is not showing correct
I don't know how to make screenshots, so if somebody can please make them for me I will be very happy, because I really to tired right now.
Here is the downloadlink http://rapidshare.com/files/153976144/FLAXJEFv1.0_DUTCH_6.1.rar.html
Have fun with it, please let me know if you are using this rom.

gereserveerd

W00t! nice!
ughh stomme vraag, verwijderd
ughh stupid question, deleted
Is it very hard for you to cook a rom with the new dialer (without video dialing) and with the new camera?
Like making a second version next 2 this one?
one without and one with the new dialer and camera?

nice, welcome as a chef for polaris

I could do that, but then you no longer have a working videocall and crappy pictures. I don't know if a lot of people want that

Well, i also don't know if a lot of people use or don't use videocall.
I am wondering what if i flash this rom to my phone and after that install a cab with the opal dialer. Will this work?

I think you can flash your dailer, but I am not sure about the camera.
I thought when you install camera you will get erorrs.

hmm crap
maybe one rom with old camera and one with the new.
And in both provide the 3g dialer.
After that you could still flash the new dialer right?
And also go back to the 3g dialer
maybe i'm gonna cook my own rom, but how did you translate those programs and maybe you could provide the translated packages?

Hey FlaxJef,
Nice to finally see your ROM. Glad to know I could help you.
It's also good to see a Dutch chef around. (Lexi1986 was the last one, but he sold his Polaris, and I suck at making roms)
So, glad you're on board!

Thank you very much. I wil keep updating as much as I can, but I am very new here and could use some help sometimes I stil have to learn a lot I think.
I am allready looking at tf3d right now, let's translate everything all over again.

Looks like this is a very clean ROM, with Manila2d and some basic stuff needed by it. Could you cook a WWE ROM just like this one?

just flashed my phone to this rom:
some little bugs:
-analog and digital clock are "on" by default but can be changed with the manila2d customizer
- video from album not working
- status bar is not showing correct

Ok I can do that but, I will start in a couple of days, I wil put it a different post, Í'll let know where to find it

Touch Flo v.3.0 available on HD?

Simple question.
I've read about the new features of the 3rd version of Touch Flo (on the upcoming HTC Touch Pro 2 and Diamond 2) and they are quite interesting.
I just wondered whether by any chance this new version could be installed on the HTC HD (once it's out of course)
Thx

there are already tons of custom roms with this new tf3d

Oh! I wasn't aware of that... have an example so I can test it?

excuse me for being a nub but what are the benefits of flashing vs cab install

well... i always do my home work before posting, that is why i did ask question...i could not find any cab, and believe me i spent hours looking throughout our gigantic forum...
if u know location where such cab is hiding from my eyes please share it with us.

There is no "cab" install and there never will be.
This isn't just an application you install on your phone - it's a complete system overhaul, with new TF3D, with all new and / or updated system applications: phone, calendar, contacts, call history, calculator, browser etc.
Let me illustrate however the difference between the stock ROM and the custom cooked ROM's available here on XDA. It's like going from Skoda to latest Ferrari.
That means you'll get a lot of great looking stuff, many cool applications already included, everything will be as new as possible, you'll be running at MUCH faster speed, but you also have to accept that you'll "burn more gas" - battery life may take a small impact.
Is it worth it? Well, it's like you bought a new device, so - yes.

If you flash a ROM that already includes the new manila it will probably be alot smoother because the ROM will be optimized and tweaked for it! If you install it over the old Manila it probably won't give you the best experience... Also, the newer ROMs not only include the new Manila, but also things like finger-friendly menus!

really is that true???

I'm pretty new to all this as well and had a lot of difficulty figuring it out! What I think happens is this: The ROM is a bit like the BIOS so you can't modify it within WM6.1. Also, the original ROMs are protected so you can't replace them with an unofficial version (they are signed).
To get around this, you can use something like Hard SPL (which overwrites the existing ROM) or USPL (which works around it).
I finally went with USPL2.5 and Dutty's extreme ROM v2.6.
Incidentally, I'm not really noticing much of a speed improvement... Especially with the music player which now takes a second to load up... Am I meant to?

[REF] New HTC SMS App, please make to QVGA

Here is a marvelous threaded app, i'd love to have this on my ELFin, take a look.
http://wmpoweruser.com/?p=3567

i dont think this works without tf3d2
which elfin/vogues cant run cuz they dont have a 3d driver or whatever
so i dont think its possbile.. hopefully soemone can prove me wrong!

that would be great! but i dont think is possible...

very hard i think

As soon as Nfsfan and Whosdaman gets done finishing up a few things,
then it will be possible to have tf3d2 on vogues
and everything esle that the diamond2 and touch pro2 can have on it.
For more details, and updates, go to ppcgeeks vogue upgrades section,
and check out the OpenGL thread.
As for the Elfin, not sure if you could use the same files...that would be a question for Nfsfan or whosdaman as they are workin on the project.

hi cody

I'm sorry to inform you even if we have full sucess on the Vogue, it will not work on ELFIN as well...this is due to the elfin uses an omap processor...
I'm sorry, but I can bet that me and NFSFAN will work on porting all of the TF3D stuff to Vogue after we finish this project

HELP !

I can't find the download for this excellent app. Can someone help me out and post the cab. I went to a site called power something I cant remember name but it saids that there is a download for it but no where to be found.

I want this on my Polaris

HTC SMS
Gents, I guess this is embedded in Manila 2.1.
At least, since I have M2.1 on my HD, I have this functionality !

htc mega has some sort of messaging enhancement, problem is i haven't found a way to make it run yet...

hope you'll able to find it how it works ...can't wait to see it

scratch what i just said...its a simple contact manager...has images for more but aint used...

There's a Rhodium skin for SMS-Chat on here. The skinner did an excellent job and it blends right in with everything else. If it's worth $15 to you, that is.

Yes click in my sig for HTC style skins for SMS-Chat. It's definitely the best SMS app we have right now, only problem is it can't be made your complete default SMS app, but it does have its own notifications. However they don't always show up for me for some odd reason, could have something to do with lock or WM6.5.
This one for TF3D looks incredible though, best looking SMS I've seen on any WM device.

Manila TF3D 2.5 download please ??

Hey guys, i have used the search but for some reason when i press the submit to complete the search i get a Page cannot be displayed message, not sure if its my computer or not, so sorry if this has already been covered
i have a TG01 and a Touch HD, i was wondering if anyone has the Manila TF3D 2.5 for download as a cab so i can install it on the TG01 because i love TF3D but the manila thats floating around here with the download cab is a very old version of the TouchFlo so i was wondering if anyone has the 2.5 in a cab so i can install it on my wonderful TG01 to make it look as nice as the Touch HD

I thought it had to be built into the rom?

i have no idea, thats why im asking but there are no roms for the TG01 thats why i was looking for a cab maybe

Well I have the TP2 and have seen it posted there that 2.5 has to be built into the rom, probably the same for your device.

crap that sucks because g0d knows when we'll have roms for my phone

well where the h*** did you get one of those?
i have not seen a 2.5 cab, so yes it does need to be cooked in... however, if you're resourceful, you can use tools here to dump your ROM (there should be a flash util from toshiba if your OS is wiped from doing any of this.)
after the dump, disassemble the rom with one of the kitchens here... now the files should be in order but you're going to have a hard time building and flashing out of that with HTC oriented tools... im sure others have much better ideas how to recompile it.
if you can disassemble, build (no modifications), and flash, then really try to get your hands wet making a rom (ex. just cooking in manila 2.5 or even start with something simple like add some OEM packages) and start flashing til you like it! yes, it's not for those without time, but like you said there's no roms for the TG01 so you can pioneer it!
if your interested in messing around with this, im sure that i and the other xda members would be happy to chat offline to help you get it working... if you got one, then there's surely more to come...
btw... for a sick interface, just load up SPB mobile shell with the Revolution theme... a lot like the Sense UI, it's still pretty sweet

looking for a post on just what "manila" and "sense" are...

I keep seeing these buzzwords, but can't find a single scrap of info on what they are...I mean before I can learn the difference between Sense 2.1 and 2.5 I'd like to know what Sense is in the first place.
I "think" Manila is a codeword for the Touch Flo app, but I wasn't sure...any help would be appriciated.

Well, first off. i moved you over to the software area since the section you posted in was rom develoupment.. this answer is more simple and can be found just by searching..
Serious, if you search sense 2.1 or sense 2.5, you'll find i'm sure plenty of screenshots.
next off you can flash the roms in the rhodium section and find out exactly how to use them.
and touchflo-manilla-sense are all the same thing, just different versions as you can see via the screenshots on many of the threads around here.
I wish you happiness in your flashing,
Josh

Oh yeah, I've been flashing my Fuze for some time now...just waiting for the Hard SPL folks to help me...it won't install for some silly reason and I got a trouble ticket in with them to get it figured out. hehehe.
Can you suggest anyone's ROM in specific? I've been using NATF's ROMs on my Fuze and loved them...but he's working on CDMA stuff currently so I guess I need to peruse someone elses efforts for the TP2. hehehe.
Oh yeah...another thing I've been having trouble finding info on is what the difference is between EnergyROM's Leo and Photon ROM's...I think I've read through the entire thread's of both posts and it's never mentioned. hehehe.

and now after I look at your sig I guess I could just try the ROM you made first.

Rom is all personal preference. It all depends on what you want to your phone for and your personal taste. It takes a lot of flashing to find the right cook for you.
My personal choice is Josh in here for TP2, been using his ROMs from Hermes days...

So (he said, scratching his head) does this mean that TF3d 2.1.x == Manila 2.1.x == Sense 2.1.x? Or are the versions more subtle than that, such that (for example, not designed to reflect reality) 2.1.189 == TF3D; 2.1.190 == Manila; 2.1.191 == Sense?

Manila, TouchFLO and Sense are all basically the same thing - they all refer to the TouchFLO UI. "Manila" is an internal HTC codename, and you may find a file on your phone somewhere called manila.exe which is the actual executable (launched by the Windows Mobile "Today" screen). TouchFLO was the original marketing name for Manila; it was later renamed "TouchFLO 3D". It's now been renamed again to "Sense UI", and HTC is now marketing "Sense" as a sort of cross-OS platform; so "Sense" (as now used by HTC) can refer not only to the UI on the Touch Pro2, but also to the customised UI on the HTC Hero (which runs Android).
Manila version 2.0 is the one that appears on the original Touch Pro2 ROM (the one that includes Window Mobile 6.1). Manila 2.1 is the version that appears on the WM6.5 version of the standard Touch Pro2 ROM form HTC. Manila 2.5 is the version from the HTC HD2 phone.

ahhh, the light goes on, thank you.

Yes, everyone could glean this info after days/weeks reading ROM Development forums, but thats not the point. When you come in a room in the middle of a complex discussion, it's really nice when someone stops the group and catches you up. By reading and making inferences, I have HTC's code-names mostly straight in my mind, but a post like this, (or one just like it) as part of the 1st page of EVERY HTC DEVICE'S ROM Development Page would help a lot of people. A side effect would be a reduction in the amount of stupid questions.
Yes, HTC likes to try and keep things fresh, by putting a new name, a new spin and a new face on basically the same concepts they have been pedaling since TouchFlo was introduced.
Heck, I work at IBM: Netfinity, eServer, X-Series, System X - whats different? Nothing. Whats in a name? A lot. Its how you make whats old new again!
Even works in reverse. Microsoft said when introducing Windows 95:
No more General Protection Faults (GPFs)! That was true. They just started calling them "Illegal Operations" (remember those?)

i try to search ALOT before asking questions on this forum...if you don't, the super geeks will strike...!!!
most here are friendly and courteous...i just ask all to remember that not everyone on these boards are tech freaks & non-searchers (if that is a word)...
i have used this site for a few years and have yet to flash a device...that may be about to change...

Go for it! Flashing has a LOT to offer

My experience with flashing has been good, if sometimes a bit frustrating. The cooks are very willing to accomodate ideas, fix things and generally give you what you want and need. However, most are always in the hunt for "the next great thing" (which we all are, in way) and that hunt sometimes causes things to get left behind.
Tell you what, I realized just the other day that if I am ever going to get my device to exactly where I want it (which changes for me too, from time to time) I am going to have to start cooking. Yes, I will have to learn a lot more and mistakes are iminent (as long as I don't brick my Touch Pro2 in the process) But my desires are not alltruistic. I just want things the way I want them LOL.

Let me just add my thanks to the finest set of very few words that truly made a difference.

Several people have been very kind about post #9 in this thread. I don't know that it really deserves all this positive attention, but it is appreciated, and you are all welcome.
