Topaz TF3D on Blackstone

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.

Manilla version and button assignment.

First of all, I just received my new Touch HD last week and I'm looking at the current version of Manilla and ROM. In Settings/About it says:
TouchFLO 3D 1.3.37395.0_1630.38
From which I understand it is running Manilla 1.3? What is the full ROM version? I just don't know how that number is split.
So, it would appear the Manilla is quite old. Is it possible to simply update Manilla on its own?
Is there a newer official HTC ROM with a later version of Manilla?
Is it possible to change the soft button assignments just with Registry tweeks, rather than installing another utility to do it? How?
Thanks.

I bet there is, check htc.com, pick your country and head over to Support.

Latest official roms can be found either on HTC.com or here on XDA.
To update to a newer version of manila you need to flash a rom which has newer version on it. You cannot just update manila as it is embedded into the rom.

I've established that I have the latest version of the official HTC ROM - 1.56 etc, so would I be correct in thinking that it's all just TouchFLO 3D 1.3 from HTC?
Shame I can't just update TF3D:-(
Is it likely HTC will release a new ROM with a later version of TF3D? Are they likely to release a new ROM with WM6.5 some time?
What version of TF3D has the coloured TAB icons?
Is there an explanation anywhere that explains the precise differences between the various versions of TF3D?

Extremely doubtful that you will ever get a stock rom with either manila 2.0+ or wm6.5 for the HD. To get these you need a cooked rom. Why would HTC spend time on this when newer model phones are being released. They want you to pay for it and buy a new phone. Not get it free on an free upgrade.
You are gonna have to use a cooked rom to get what you desire. Read guide in my signature for advice on flashing and post further flashing queries in that thread
Use the search function and search for manila 2.0, 2.1 & 2.5 and you'll see the differences.

[Confused]Manila CAB files

Hi all
I am running the stock ROM on my HD2 but would really like to get the eReader Manila page - can this be added by an upgrade or do I need to flash a ROM with that version of Manila on....
If I am to take the flashing plunge, and put on something like 'Lost In Asia V 0.8.5' or some other lite ROM without Manila, will that mean I can Install Manila from a .CAB file, and therefore upgrade it at a later date without needing to flash the ROM? - and is Manila even available as a .CAB file or some such - I did have a look around but couldn't see anyone hosting one??
And finally, what's the difference between Manila and Sense? I thought Manila was just the Manila Page app, and Sense was the input device swishy finger software??? but often I see references to these two in other contexts...

manila and sense are interchangeable names for the htc front end.
No you cant install manila as a cab, it is cooked into the rom pretty deeply.
(unless i've missed something? anyone?)

I would begin my search from HERE

I'm looking for something like this too. I don't know wich Sense version is included in the new official 2.5 sense HTC ROM? Couldn't find it anywhere.
I hope one of the chefs use this in their new ROM, that would be awsome!
Grtz,
FeareX

2.5.192 is an 'older' version. Try PM'ing one of your favorite Chefs as they may have a link to some older roms from around the first of the year. You could try browsing f1ip.net as well.

Or you could wait because they are updating the theme to work with the 2.5.2012 release of sense.

i want to play around with this theme too. they made 6.5.x look good. we just have to wait.

Guys, this theme doesn't got landscape support. So personally I don't think it will work nicely on Rhodium.

[TMOUS][ROM][WWE + CHT] TMOUS 2.10.531.1 Stock ROM with CHT support

Hi all, I am new to rom cooking and this is the first rom I have ever made.
Thanks Bobsbbq for the tips.
What I have done: changed the htc english IME to htc CHT IME, taken from stock HKCSL rom. Other things stay the same.
Here is the link: Click here
To install, follow the instructions here
Known Issues:
1. For some reasons the items in the start menu do not go into the right folder like in the tmous stock rom
2. After like an hour of playing it seems like with the CHT support the phone runs less smooth

It's a bit little too late as I already have LostInAsia ROM installed. It works OK so far, but I lost ALL branding.

Yes I was thinking if I am a little late as well
But then what I really wanted is the stock Tmous rom and the CHT support and that's all. I actually tried the LIA rom it's good but don't really like the fancy graphics.
Anyway what do you mean by losing all branding? In LIA rom or my rom? This is my first time cooking so I really want some feed back to help improve my cooking skills.

LIA though I can add them back individually.
I also want to learn how to cook ROM.

He means he lost all of the TMOUS branding. Which to each his own but for me that would be a good thing

Hi, I like your rom, but do you put other Chinese input come from Taiwan HTC rom for HD2 that would be great. I don't like too fancy so the default one is which I like used. I can found only one Chinese input from you rom, otherwise it is great for me.

@makino, This is quite a nice rom, good job cooking it from the HK version. However i was wondering if there is any way to cook the rom to full CHT instead of WWE?

I also want one of this kind rom,ha ha...

Thanks for posting the ROM. But the thing is that I can't download from depositefiles ... I think it's the country block or something. Is there a mirror download site? Thanks again.

I think I need to learn how to cook ROM to add CHT support on my own; in addition, I also have to know how to flash offical ROM without flashing radio, so is it possible to flash offical ROM from Hong Kong version without radio?

Hi, thanks for the amazing work. What I want to know is. Is it possible for you to make a separate .cab file for the CHT menus? I have Josh's T-Mobile test rom flashed on my HD2 and want to keep using it, so a stand alone CHT menu pack would be ideal.
Thanks!

check out the stickies at the top of the dev forum... you will need to flash a stock ROM from SD card. this will overwrite ROM and HSPL.
Just read before you do anything so you know what is happening and how to do it.
