If you haven't heard yet the new TD2 WM 6.5 ROM is available: http://htcpedia.com/news/official-topaz-wm6_5-rom-upgrades.html
I like to err on the side of caution with these things but I know some will be wanting to get upgraded asap. So what's new with the ROM especially with TF3D? I know you get weather on the home screen but does TF3d run deeper as with the new Leo/HD2? Also are there any performance issues?
EDIT: Official Official ROM now available from HTC: http://www.htc.com/europe/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=728&news_id=310
you sure
when i checked about 5mins ago (after spending all day checking every hour on the hour) it still shows no new update available for the touch diamond 2 to 6.5

I have downloaded it. Will it work on a T-Mobile Compact V?
compact v
isnt that the pure?
i thought that came with 6.5 already, but i think it will but not sure as they are more or less the smae phone spec wise, but i dont know if the internals are configured the same
Ive noticed ive had to make a few changes to my TD2 Tools application for WM 6.5. Here are the changes:
Enlarge Start Menu is now redundant as WM 6.5 uses a full screen Start Menu and in turn, HTC has brought back the Programs Tab in manila and got it working properly.
Most other settings have remained unchanged.

Good to see this unoffcial release of the Offcial ROM .
Not sure the ROM will be available on Offcial HTC Support page
Uhm. I updated. Then I disabled Manila/Sense, to see the new Today-screen. I was led to believe it was supposed to be like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

Well, it's not. It's excactly as the old one?
Even here on microsofts pages, they show that Today screen: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/meet/choice-is-yours.mspx
And a google search for 6.5 screenshots, all show this new Todayscreen with the slidable list. Where is it?
So what version of Manilla comes in this 'Official' ROM. Do you think this is the final release? Does it feel bug free? I'd love to flash but am chock full until the weekend.....

I like the new WM6.5 today screen, but is there a way to use it and still use the HTC Calendar, HTC Cobtacts appliaction and so on. The Windows apps are just so uggly.
Im thinking of installing this as im running Duttys R6 atm, and its well laggy and its annoying me!
What version of Manila comes with this? And are any apps updated?
Is the memory card safe when you do this update or am I better off removing it?

I didn't remove the memorycard before updating and it worked fine.
Just done, with card out....so far pretty smooth. Even picked up on my Copilot install once i put memory card back in
Now how do I rename my phone......
I think the interface runs a bit slower than the 6.1 ROM. Entering the dialer or an e-mail takes slightly longer (the phone sort of draws the the application to the screen instead of it popping up immediately).
Also, the Sense/Manila slider at the bottom (the tabs/icons) is not as smooth as it used to be.
Do you agree or is it just me?
i dont feel right about the so called "official 6.5 ROM" from HTCPedia, if it is really an official ROM, why up until now there is no 6.5 update from the OFFICIAL HTC Site?
it seems to me that the claimed Official ROM in HTCPedia is just a ploy for everyone to try it and figure out the BUGS themselves(they can just ask for beta testers directly and not like this)....what a shame, then HTC Folks will redo it addressing the bugs/problems being reported from public.
HTC guys are surely monitoring all forum site to get the much needed bugs/problem information from the so called "Official 6.5 ROM".
for me, that so called Official 6.5 ROM from HTCPedia is not final yet but in beta still since most if not all who flashed it complains of some bugs and problems with the psuedo 6.5 Official ROM.
I guess i'll have to wait 'till it comes out of HTC Support Site to be sure.....if not,then 6.1 works well for me....
BEWARE and be prudent.........
I think that it is a bit slower after bootup. but runs smoother....

Yeah I'm not too impressed either. One example is the memory usage. After a reboot I have 49% RAM available, 30 minutes later I have 28%.
Will dfinately consider a cooked ROM to see if the chefs have managed to speed up the device.

I am Happy...

Dude what are you talking about? this aint no personal request! nevertheless, am with Nuno Rodrigues on this.... Googlemaps will be cool, and maybe operal too, the default IE is complete crap compared to safari,opera and the others, i just wish they will do something about it before the final release
Good one Man
What you are doing is very great man.We Opal people don't have much people making roms for us at all,All we have to rely on is phamquang and all his roms look the same don't matter what the build,and personally i don't think his roms are any good,they don't even look like the original windows mobile 6.5.I have made a rom myself but it's build 23037 and it works pretty good with a few bugs,but the file is big and i don't have enough upload speed.If i could get my hands on the latest builds probably i could build some roms too.But they have to be 96dpi to work properly on the Opal.
Thanks
Thank u all opal users for the replies.
Now, opal rom develoment update. Sorry the rom will me available only after 25th of this month because of my exams going on hope u understand.
Now one of the user requested to add manila 2d also but i think most of the people kik out manila after installing, so wait for more replies majority will win titanium or manilla. Same for other applications too like google maps and all that.
If some applications really u need then i will rebuild a rom. Actually the build screenshot was only for test purpose whether it will work on our touch viva or not.
Just be posting reply i promise to share with u a room of ur choice.
( I am making this rom as i requested many rom devlopers of other device to make and they simply say we dont have the device so not possbile so i decided to make myself roms and remeber iam a beginner.
i think all the apps that can be installed on the memory card should NOT be included like opera, google maps, etc (people can find them easily on the internet and can easily be installed on the card) it would just consume valuable space.
i myself don't use Manila 2D and Titanium... i have my own Today screen.
bigger space is better.
thanks jagan2!

I think u have a point here, opera googlemap etc can me later added and in this way more space will be there. Lets see what others have to say.
And one more thing whatevery u want titanium is a must in wm 6.5 its part of the new os so i think titanium should not be removed may be manila 2d.

Thanks in advances.

can u upload the MSXIPKernel for 23049
Thanks
Great
Great it seems two more person inspired by me and opened a new thread for rom building build 23049. Keep it up!!
But i promise i will be coming with a standard rom and yes i wanted to ask u all u liked the default titanium skin by ms as previous all roms by phamquang are using ibyrll skin this time i will use the default skin as shown in the screenshots.
yes the default titaniun is must prettier in my opinion...
Please add also EZINPUT and don't change the taskbar icon (i like oringinal)
I hope it will include most of the working packages from Mega and I don't like the Win7 Titanium.
I hope you can find out a solution the make Menu Enhancement working....
don't forget the incons like in the other versions not the 6.1, incons like the battery the network... in the tot right corner
Just 3 things
I'll be waiting for your ROM.
Only three things:
EzInput with Spanish on it
Hide task manager icon like in PhamQuang ROM
Can you change the taskbar, old plain windows icons
I just don't think the colors/big start menu of the new taskbar looks nice...even it is more finger friendly now
Finally, someone release a HOT ROM here,
Keep up the Good Job.
Today is sept. 25, For today will be ready???
Hello
Hello all there,
Ok as i said i will make a rom of peoples choice and i have made a couple of roms. Now iam thinking of adding the sense ui home screen through point ui by default.
Now the problem is i cant upload with my slow internet connection all those roms so i need few volunteers who are ready to test the rom and will upload for me. Who ever interested plz pm me or post here and who helps will get a small reward that is i will make a rom for them with there choice.
Anyone there plz say i will be waiting.
Hi, all German Friends...
I'm proud to release my initial Beta of a German WM6.5 for our Polaris!
This is my first attempt to cook a Rom so if you love your Rom, don't use mine
For sure there are still many bugs and half translated apps, but I appologize for it.
I will correct it in further releases.
My Rom is based on gullums Kitchen with WWE 6.5, so I think it will not brick our device.
I only tested it by myself, so I can not guarantee for others.
It is really very BETA.
If someone is able to give some screenshots, feel free to add some
It is nearby like Kostas244.
I messed up 3g-Dialer, Windows live and facebook app.
I added custom PC-like Startup animation and Welcome, modified BootPackage 1.2 by Wajk.
Radio must be 1.59.xx.xx (1.59.46.12 recomended)
Dowload : deleted, too early beta!
PW : TomAngel
Thanks and Credits will follow...
Sorry, but Rom Version isn't 21016 but 23016
Additions

Hmm, no offense, I appreciate your efforts, but IMO it doesn't make too much
sense to release a language mixed up ROM before getting it fully translated.
However, I wish you best of luck with getting it to final stage.
Cheers, Olioaglio
Hi Olioaglio,
I think it is better to show, that someone is interested in releasing ROMs for the Polaris.
There are not many Devs left that release ROMs for our Device...
Android is nearby finished...
And all the others base on the same kitchen and build.
I am new in customizing ROMs, so all the beginning is difficult, and I want to do my best. Even there are 6.5 ROMs in German for nearby all the other devices, except our Polaris. And that's (Polaris) not as bad as it seems.
By the way,... I love your ROMs, I've tested every since Oct.2008.
Thank you for your great work, especially in releasing ROMs in my native language.
If you like to help me, it would be a great homor for me to get support by someone who really knows what he does.

Hi, I think that's right. I'm interested in learning how to develop ROMs with WM6.5 with the "new" Kitchen from Ervius/Bepe. In the past I developed some ROMs based on the old Polaris-Kitchen with WM 6.1. Cause I still have a good ROM based on WM6.1 I stopped developing new versions until now. Perhaps with WM6.5 I will restart developing. First I have to learn how to dump and how to build ROMs with the new kitchen stuff. Then the next step would be porting WM6.5 to language 0407 and then add some applications, Reg-Hacks etc.
You all know that's a long way for a lonesome cowboy. If there are many developers sharing knowledge it would be much easier.
Keep fighting...
Tom
Thanks
Thanks tomduke!
I think I did wrong releasing a ROM in so early beta.
But I'll keep on trying in a German 6.5 ROM, and in most times I finally succeed.
Nice to see that I am not alone... in whishing a translated 6.5 Polaris
Thank you
Hi TomAngel,
thank you for trying to build a german rom.
I´m searching so long for it. I hope you can handle it.
Dark Dragon
Every Cocker,**** a new Rom. I think, it´s the best, you translate a good WWE Rom for the first.
The Polaris is old and my pda goes to my wife when HTC HD2 is in the shop. And the last WM 6.1 Rom´s are realy good,fast and stable.
But when you **** a verygood WM6.5 German Rom for Polaris, you are TOP
hope still comming!
Development in process
Hi DreamCrasher,
the development is still in Process...
I've built a jointventure with an other user to get a working Rom.
But the Release will not come under my name... But follow the threat, and I will announce a Release here.
Be patient...
Well, I am waiting for this as well
German WM 6.5
Hi strowbowse,
nice to here...
Development is still in progress.
Up now there ist a woking Manilla from MEGA in Ger (with nearby all Cabs from Mega including new Camera), Opera 9.7 in German,
cooked in CorePlayer and TouchCommander, EzInput 2.1.
Thats it so far...
But at the moment there are still too many bugs for a Release.
But I'm working on it with an other User from here.
Additional the ROM needs a bunch of graphical costomization...
Hope you stay with us...

Hi, nice that you like it.
Home Weather works because of Mortscript, it's still a bug of Manila.
In the case of the Theme, we will release one or two alternative CABs of Manila Skins to better fit for the girls !
Release is near, eventually at the end of the next week.
Build will be 23016 or 23081, SteveP86 is working on it!!!

Hi,
why you did not move the start menu button to the bottom bar? I used several different Rom and most comfortable for me was that start menu button.
Greetz, Bugz
Realease comming ...
Hi all,
release is near...
SteveP86 and I will release this German 6.5 ROM tomorrow in the evening.
There are still some minor bugs, but the others WWE have too!
There will be a few post installation fixes for some of them.
But I think we did our work for all the others
Stay tuned, release will open a new threat, link will be posted here...
@bugzbunny : If you like to move the startbutton to the bottom feel free to move it. we like it as it is. everyone should decide for it's own.
Does it worth upgrading from wm6.1 to wm6.5 ?
Or should we stick to wm6.1 ?
The wm6.5 interface looks nice, but I don't know whether it is buggy.
And I don't want a honeycomb start menu!!!
6.5 is imo way better than 6.1, I really like the startmenu and the lockscreen (now I don't need to install S2U2 anymore). It's not sluggish at all for me and I haven't discovered any bug(s) yet.
6.5 is much better if you compare to 6.1.
I know Microsoft does not give, as pexpected in 6.5, but TD2 is designed for 6.5. So no second thoughts.
Thanks.
Yes between 6.1 and 6.5, 6.5 is much userfriendly and touch friendly, good looking, but the original ROM that came with is much better, now with official 6.5 I have to restart the phone everyday and hang some apps like Live Messenger.
only downside is the honeycomb menu. admitedly it sucks and i don't know how to change it yet.
on the other hand though, its a much quicker, sleaker and overall better feeling OS. I say upgrade
Thank you for all the comments!
I thought wm6.1 would be better. (Glad that I was wrong)
The wm 6.5 sounds good! Mm...tempting...!!!
But the honeycomb start menu is still problem I think it looks untidy and I've seen people trying to arrange the icons. Troublesome. Maybe I will upgrade my TD2 until someone finds a way to change the honeycomb start menu.
One question, is there TF3D in wm6.5?
Thanks.
I have had roms with WM6.5 on before. There aren't many differences to my mind between this and WM6.1. There are just a few aesthetics. Other than that, there aren't any appreciable benefits.
The other thing is with the HTC upgrade WM6.5, this is based on Manila 2.1. I use and prefer Manila 2.0. Basically, 2.0 can show the next couple of weeks of appointments on your home screen. Manila 2.1, 2.5 and 2.6 only give you today and tomorrow. That's a show stopper for me in itself! Therefore, I'm sticking with the stock rom with 6.1. I did try ESSential (or something like that) which is based on the stock rom with 6.1 and manila 2.0. This was quite good in terms of speed/memory/stability, but there were a couple of bits that I didn't like, so reverted back to the stock rom. There is plenty of ram available on the TD2 and the stock 6.1 rom is very stable....

Having not installed it myself, that is the overall impression I am getting from this forum. If the Bluetooth had been fixed so that I could use it as an external modem, I would upgrade. Otherwise it seems a sort of 'sidegrade'.
There are just a few aesthetics. Other than that, there aren't any appreciable benefits.

That was my impression too based on the 6.5 ROM I tried a while back (I can say that safely now I see others are "coming out" too!). I think 6.1 and 6.5 are closely related underneath, it's mostly the new interface which differentiate them. If it was going to be that much different, it would have been called 7.0
@mitsi: First of all, Hi! I'm from Sutton (just round the corner). What didn't you like about !Aman!'s TESS 6.1 ROM? I'm using it now instead of stock, I sorted out most of the differences which annoyed me. It's nice to have all the latest versions of the apps in one package, and the storage space and RAM boost are useful too.

... the honeycomb start menu is still problem I think it looks untidy and I've seen people trying to arrange the icons. Troublesome. Maybe I will upgrade my TD2 until someone finds a way to change the honeycomb start menu.
One question, is there TF3D in wm6.5?
Thanks.

This icon arrange problem is why i use new cooked roms. 23017 build and upwards you can arrange icons with easy drag and drop style. Working ok...
And yes, there is TF3D/Sense...

Hi Pete from Sutton! Two geeks within 2 miles! That's a high density, isn't it!
Most Rom Chefs seem to be concentrating on Manila 2.1, 2.5 and 2.6 at the moment. It was Aman's rom that I tried. This was very good. But there were a couple of points which I didn't like. Plus points were the Aman ram (about 10mb more free than stock) and rom (again about 20-30mb more free than stock) but minus points were the manila was compressed (so I couldn't alter it with my manila modifier (that's not what the programme is called, but I can't remember what it was) and also I couldn't disable the HSDPA/HSUPA in the settings which doubles my battery life and doesn't seem to slow up internet. It was a close call, but the stock rom won for me as it has enough rom/ram (200mb/85mb free) anyway.
I'll look out for someone with his burried in his TD2....

Does it worth upgrading from wm6.1 to wm6.5 ?
Or should we stick to wm6.1 ?
The wm6.5 interface looks nice, but I don't know whether it is buggy.
And I don't want a honeycomb start menu!!!

No contest for me - 6.5 is much better. Lots of incremental and small changes make the overall experience much better.

only downside is the honeycomb menu. admitedly it sucks and i don't know how to change it yet.
on the other hand though, its a much quicker, sleaker and overall better feeling OS. I say upgrade

I've got it in TESS: Settings-All settings-Connections-Advanced network.
I hadn't given it a second thought, always had it on "enable HSDPA" (thought it must be a "good thing"),must try without. T-Mobile is so slow anyway, doubt I'll detect a difference

Yeah, I'm the idiot on the Sutton to London train with that Sony Bluetooth stick clipped to my t-shirt which make people think I'm a right...
Hi Pete,
For the HSDPA, I know there is a setting there in the Aman rom, but it didn't seem to have any effect. Disabling it on the stock rom seriously improved my battery life from one day to two.
I want/need to edit the Manila because I don't like the HTC green, so I amend all the Manila, bmp's and png's myself to make them dark red
I think you are right about the speed, but to be honest, I didn't notice that much difference, so the stock rom is good enough for me.
6.1 by a mile, 6.5 was rushed out by the looks of it!

Hello guys & girls,
Here is the much awaited Evolution-Ultimate but its in Beta! It's because i alone can't decide its perfection. So join me and we will find out together its perfection. Let me know what all i can improve and remember than don't expect all features as its in beta so i might have intensionally removed some.
So the ROM is neat, clean and bugfree. And yes i didn't forgot the battery life, this time its more than that of Evolution 2. If you are a fan and love Evolution 2 then you have a good reason to upgrade to this version which you will ♥ .
You have been requesting for public release, i didn't ignored you but i was waiting for the completion of final version but i think until that this one would be a gift for you all!
What's More?
Go through the below feature list etc and grab your copy via attachments.
What to expect from this new version?
★ Speed upgrade – The fastest ROM in Evolution series. Perhaps the fastest WM 6.5.3 ROM ever made.
★ Responsiveness- It’s really quick.
Legendary Features:
★ No wi-fi auto start.
★ Today setting, volume down button, file explorer dropdown etc fixed.
Features:
★ Extra lite ROM (no 3rd party app)
★ Open or hide keypad with a touch.
★ Landscape mode available at start>settings>system>screen.
★ Good amount of RAM, start-up free RAM is approx 73 MB.
★ Added option to configure touch input and phone option.
What’s new?
★ Finally, Windows media player can play videos without any problem.
★ Expect a better battery life than Evolution 2.
★ Smooth scrolling.

Edit: Goodbye, Touch Viva! Was a great experience to learn something new.
is an old link...rom date 07/06/2010...
Thank you thank you thank you!!!
I really appreciate your work, I've been using your Evo2 ROM since it was released, and I'm amazed by your work! Never had any problems whatsoever!!
I'm sure this version will be of top quality. Downloading now, and will report my feedback after flashing..
Thanks again.
@guybrush777 This IS the correct version I guess. It was actually a closed beta when it was released in June. I believe Jagan will confirm my opinion.
EDIT: I will post my testing reports in the appropriate thread to keep this one clean.
Hi jargan,
Thanks for sharing the Betaversion
Is it somehow possible to integrate EzInput?
Greetz
Kurso
I just flashed the ROM, and it's just PERFECT and really FAST
I wonder if i can install Manila 2D in this ROM, i tried to install Manila 2D v. 2.0 but it didn't work, it kept saying "tab here to launch TouchFlo" even after a softreset i got the same result. Once i tab it tries to load then it says tab again, and it happen over n over.
Any help would be appreciated
And Jagan, many MANY thanks for the great effort and the awesome ROM, i loved everything on it
I appreciate your hard effort..!
Thank You..for releasing most awaited Evolution Ultimate..!
I am a big fan of ur Evolution 2.5, using without any trouble..
Now time to give try to new member of Evolution series...
Will update you after flasing.
Thanks again for your great work

Most probably you have missed some M2D package, right now i don't have my device to test but you can go to M2D V2.0 Thread and install all the required cabs.
And glad that you liked.

As mentioned in the first post,
Expect it to be a hell lot faster than EVO 2.5 and yes batt life will be like this Evo-Ultimate>Evo2>Evo 2.5.
More details, Try it or wait for others to report
This is really nice ROM amazing great performance and speed Wo0oW it is wonderfull I really loved it I just need to instal Manila on it for touch flo right? and is it better to be on main memory or no matter where it is?
and I have just two problem here (ofcourse except MMS ) first in
start>Settings>Personal>Input when you go to optin part there is no way to come out either ok nor windows bottons work there.
and I can't find task maneger at top of page in today and also other place is this my problem I just can't find it?
No comments on Manila coz i haven't tested it yet.
But taskmanager, you couldn't find it coz its not there
My experience says, for windows mobile 6.5.3 default taskmanager or htc taskmanager = useless.
Install Arkswitch, the best one for Evo-Ultimate. Search the forum for it.
Good work in this rom
~ But the keyboard no are the ezinput
jmpnjimbob said:
I've just downloaded the Beta and have it installed. Thanks for releasing your Beta. It's always nice to get a new ROM to play with.
I've installed the EzInput keyboard, Manila 2D v1.2 and ArkSwitch plus a few other minor apps. Will also post my findings here as they come up. So far so good.

Welcome, Glad that you liked. It will be great if you post the EzInput keyboard version you installed, see above our friend JoxeeM is sad
People! It is a very Lite rom. And it is a BETA!
-No Manila.
-No Ezinput.
-Original WM theme and icons. (It is very good)
-Stable only US region. (it is only one little problem for me, because I'm Russian... and I have programs, which are freeware only for russian region... )
(Original task manager you can find in "windows/taskMgr" and then create a shortcut in "windows/Start Menu/Programs")
I love this ROM, because there is only all necessary for work and nothing superfluous.
I can instal only that, what I really need. (PhonEx, SPB keyboard, Arkswitch, Core Player, Resco Explorer/Registry/Photo Manager.)
ROM very fast & stable. Very long battery life... That's all i need.
Thank you once again Jagan2!

Looking good!
I will flash this weekend and report findings (Can't do it during week, I have too much dependancy on a stable phone. Just so you know, I have flashed EVERY ROM that has come out for HD2 (Those that work on TMOUS 1024) so I have seen the good, the bad, and the ugly.
This looks very nice, I hope it works as well as it looks. Before I flash, I want to know: ANYONE WITH TMOUS 1024 Flashed this baby yet?
If it's truly WWE, and based on 3.14, AND my radio is 2.15.50.14 - I think my odds are good, but I really really really can't brick my phone, so perhaps I will hang tough until some other moron... er, I mean "Brave Soul" does a flash of this onto T-Mobile hardware
Yjamls, and welcome! You requested bug reorts, and knowing the crounds on XDA, I cam promis you - you WILL get them, LOL!

Hello,
It is completely based on Stock TMOUS 3.14 ROM and driverbase (the non-TMOUS 3.14 would need SPL 3.03 to work correctly and there is no HSPL version to cover that yet), but I'm not sure what makes it compatible with 1024LEO and I don't have a chance to test it either. Please do not flash until somebody gives me a hint on this compatibility issue or if anyone was foolish enough to try it and can post positive feedback on the subject.
Anyway, sooner or later this 1024-compatibility will be provided by me - one way or another -, be patient until then!
Thanks,
Jay
So far, no bug reports at all. Is that good or bad?
