For those who dont know, PDAViet has just released a new BA rom with thse spec : WM6 5.2.1938 (Build 18538.0.7.0.PV.HAT)Touch & Office 6.1 NetCF 3.5.
it has built in TouchFlo, and als the latest .NetCF 3.5 as Extrom...
I also have tried all the WM6 version since Helmi R0 release, Xplode's latest rom and PdaViet's WM6 OS 5.2.2000 (Build 20000.1.0.0.PV.HAT).
All are good, stable and fast.
I tried Xplode's latest rom for only 1 day and switched back toPdaViet's cause I had problems:
1. Somehow, the OK button (on top right hand corner) close apps without saving it (I had this problem when using PocketInformant and PocketBreeze - weird. I put it on forum, but no one else seem to have this issue)
2. I feel that the touch screen is not as responsive as other roms -I dont know, maybe I was wrong...but this is what i feel anyway
For now, I am using PdaViet's latest rom WM6 5.2.1938 (Build 18538.0.7.0.PV.HAT)Touch & Office 6.1 NetCF 3.5.
, and its very good...
hey i hv tested all the three but i hv not found big changes in them and switch back to helmi as i hv the backup of it. all three r same as they r helmi based. so i advised to go for helmi it also has gsfinder as file explorer.
which is the best
I have tried have all three of the latest roms but the ones that are the newest is pdaviets rom with office 6.1 and xplodes. Hemlis wm6 is older than the others so any of the other 2 are better.
It seems that the speed of xplodes and pdaviets are ABOUT the same but i find that pdaviets rom is slightly faster- programs open faster, and there is no stalling. Pdaviets is more stable- when i installed pdaviets 5.2.000 i only soft reset it about once- it works flawlessly. I can open more programs at the same time without stalling and freezing with pdaviets than with xplodes. With a great combination of stability and speed pdaviets takes the cake.
Although i can not use the touch flo cube that comes with pdaviets because of i can not get rid of my older version of touchflo i installed in my BA- for some reason i can not uninstall it or remove it but i hear it works like a charm.

What do you mean you cannot get rid of the older version of touchflo? After reflashing the new rom, whatever you have before will be gone..... just make sure you do the no yes yes option...
And you are rite, touchflo on Pdaviets latest rom works very well...
Just want to say yes, I am using latest rom of PDAViet too, and I love it. All bugs seems fixed. I just don't like the touchflo as I was using HTouch before and it works better (quicker, smoother, no flare, more open to add links...)
ftouch

I installed a previous version of ftouch before the one in pdaviets came out and i installed it on my hemli wm6 rom when it first came out. I did uninstall the program but although the file was removed touch flo was still active on my BA. No matter how many times i have flashed my BA to another rom ftouch is installed on my BA. It is very weird.
I did however find the ftouch program and it is located in my BA "windows" folder under "startup". When i try to delete that it says thats the file can not be deleted. I am not sure what you are talking about when you say " no yes yes" option because everytime i flash a rom it goes to the align screen option. Any help would be appreciated.

the no yes yes option refers to cleaning up the rom i.e. similar to the concept of formating the whole rom data.... you should do this after reflashing a new rom build.
when you reset and you get to the 3 colored screen, press and hold camera + record button for about 2 sec... use record button to choose, camera button to change no/yes... and then press mail button to confirm...
its all in wiki, under the instruction on how to update rom...
I prefer Xplode's latest release...its the fastest one by far, in my experience...can't really fault it at all....I dont like the Touch Flo...it's too slow on the BA...and I don't find it beneficial at all...just a waste of resources.

excellent! Thanks a lot joseph sapri! I just did it and i have so much more rom space and the ftouch is gone! MUCHO appreciated
no probs. I was in your position before.. . This is what this forum is for...
i see by far more people like PDAViet release
could any one provide download link and is there any thing special we have to do to upgrade from helmi WM6 ?
Thanks
Download links are in corresponding threads - THE FIRST POST usually
You should backup your data before flashing, upgrade procedure is the same as for any WM6.
Here is the link to the rom, as posted by Iced Coffee...

I just upgraded using this rom, but the sim card cannot be recognized. Any suggestions?
After suffering for a long time having to use the integrated keyboard instead of Touchpal due to the fact that it wasn't installing on Manila 2D I decided to go on Touchpal's official website and download the newest version (for WM 6.1, not 6.0) and it worked! I decided to share this because I've seen that there have been other people also unable to install Touchpal.
To download the newest version go to http://www.cootek.com/download_userinfo.aspx?type=Std and be sure to choose the version for WM6.1.
Hope this helps someone!
I just upgraded by Touch Cruise to WM6.1, ROM version 3.18.457.0 WWE.
After the upgrade my Touch Keyboard and Keypad has gone from the list of input options. I have been using the Touch Keyboard for all this time on WM6.0.
I have looked through the forum but have not come across anything similar.
Please help.
Thanks.
try this: http://dl.htc.com/downloadfiles/RomCode/%5CHTC%20Touch%20Cruise%5CRUU_Polaris_HTC_WWE_3.13.405.0_radio_sign_25.85.30.07_1.59.42.15_Ship.exe
download the WWE version and reflash your phone. touch keyboard and keypad are in this rom.
Just download the HTC Touch Keyboard + Keypad.cab from the below link & install & voila!!!
http://rapidshare.com/files/80918371/All_HTC_softwares.rar
Got official confirmation from HTC that the touch keypad/keyboard has not been included in the Singapore WM6.1 ROM.
So I took the easier option of just installing the .cab file - it worked.
Thanks for your help.
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've just flashed my HD to the official HD rom from last April (after using many good cooked roms). Just wanted a change back to stock.
I really like the new Ezinput on all the latest roms but can't seem to find it in .cab form. I've been searching for quite a while with no definitive luck. The only one I tried was from the actual Ezinput thread and it didn't do so well on my device.
Anyone please point me to the Topaz type EzInput 2.0 that I've been using on all these great roms?
Thanks
