Hi...sorry this has been asked before...I just got a Topaz with official WM6.5 ROM version 2.17.707 flashed already.
May I ask how would I know/ check what version of Manila/ Sense I am using....2.1 or 2.5?
Comparing with the themes I have seen here...my Home screen looks like an old one...no 4 app Icons on the Home tab (below Calendar and Call History icons).....unlike the ones I usually see here.
Am I using an old version of Manila? If so, where can I download the 2.5?
thanks...
yes, thats manila 2.1 that u have on the device. u have to flash a cooked ROM if u want manila 2.5. try them all and chose the one which suits u best. thread closed.

this is prob really stupid question, but how do i tell if i have manila 3 or not? (for installing themes etc)
Manila 3 has the new finger friendly menus. It helps?
finger friendly? like bigger buttons? anyone got a link to a image of both?
it's a bit confusing, but simple to get a handle on it
if you have a stock HD (no custom ROM) you have Manila v2.
if you flashed a custom ROM that mentioned "new" Manila or Manila 3 or Topaz/Rhodium Manila then you have Manila 3,
basically you'd know if you have v3
both are TouchFLO 3D (not 2D as some may assume)
and a lot of graphics are interchangeable (clocks and tray pictures/icons and many others)
so whats manilla 1? Touch Flo 2D?
Well, why not go into settings tab, scroll down to "About" and...
Voila!
Right under "About" you can see:
TouchFLO 3D 2.0 bla bla bla...

If you haven't already got manila 3, the only way you can get it is to flash to a rom which does have it!
thank you guys for the replies, i have 3.0 now can look for relevent themes.
Psygnosis84 i would say you have v3 also, dont know what the 1.3. number is - maybe the version of manila 3? (but i dont have this code on mine. i went to settings, touchflow, about and that gave me the version number.

But i thought the new Rhodium or Topaz were Manilla v3 and i definitely don't have those on the rom.

Mine says version 3 aswell, but it doesn't mean it is the new manila, like the one that comes with the new diamond. It's the old manila. Unless you've flashed an unofficial rom you won't have the new manila.
oh ok, well i do have a cooked rom, and it uses topaz or rhodium stuff.
so what does the v3 in tf3d settings/about mean if you dont have a flashed rom? (touch flo is manila right?)
I notice there is an update to the Touch HD on the official website. Is this update included in Manilla 3 ROMs?
Where do you download and how to you upgrade to Manilla 3?

Thanks. I found some other threads which explain how to flash to 1.56 and then to another cooked ROM. I think I will try out Dutty's.
My HD has been really slow recently so hopefully doing this will speed things up and fix a few problems I have been having.
are there any sense (weather in the middle of the time and the clouds going over the background) themes that are in .cab type i can download and just intstall or is the only way to get that is flash my rom?
from what i have read...(i could be wrong) the Tilt 2 does not come with Sense which is needed for the weather... so you would have to upgrade your stock rom..to a custom rom
maybe someone can add to this...
You are right. The Sense that you see with the weather is an updated version of the software. Only way to get it is to flash a custom rom.
thanks alot,really dissapointing thought cuz that would be sweet, do either of you know how to flash roms from a mac cuz i dont have a pc

No mate, HTC may have released the latest Sense 2.1 or Manila 2.1 which is popularly called here in XDA.
If you bought it from your service provider, maybe they updated it to Manila 2.1 Sense.
If you bought it from a third party , he may have flashed the ROM to a cooked ROM.
The only way you guys can get Sense 2.1 with weather is by flashing a new ROM.
Hey Guys,
Since Android hasn't finished yet i will not switch over yet, and wait wil switching OS.
instead of that i will use an Theme for the TP2. ( co0kies Home Tab )
i found co0kies home tab theme very great, as i searched for further info i found out that i need Manila 2.5 ( 2.5.1920, 2.5.1921, 2.5.1922, 2.5.2011, 2.5.2012 )
Where can i get this? After many hours of searching i found out that it might already be on the phone, but i dont know what version is on it.
can someone help me with this? Co0kie wrote this to find it out.
To check your Manila version: go to the settings tab in Sense, select "About phone", and then "Software Information".
If you have any problems with this mod please report your full Manila version (e.g. 2.5.xxxxxxxx), the device and ROM you are using.
Where is this tab named "Sence" ?
Can't find it anywhere x'D.
So, do i have Manila ?
If i dont, Where can i get this?
If i do, How can i see what version?
And if i found out what version, What is this tab named "Sence"
Another thing is that if something goes wrong, how can i return to the normal WM 6.5 ( NON - MODDED / THEMED )
Also, Last question.
Do i need to flash my phone for this?
Greetings
If you're still on the stock ROM that came with the phone, then you don't have Sense 2.5
The only way to get sense 2.5 in this case is to flash a rom with it. You should be able to get all the necessary information in the rom development forum
THANKS! i will search for this, very usefull !
Sence is the Bar below right? cause at Settings > More > Today > Items i have "HTC Sence" In the list.. and its checked on..
If i have this "Sence" Where can i get the Manila thing?
I found manila.exe in my File explorer\Windows\manila.exe
How can i see the version of it ?

"Sense" is the entire pretty little graphical interface that you're playing with...the clock, the tabs on the slider, and everything in those tabs, is all the interface that HTC built to go on top of Windows Mobile. HTC has been calling their shell "manilla" for a long time, Sense is just the latest generation of that. There is no "sense tab", and the exact location of where you can see your sense version varies....which carrier's model of TP2 are you using?
However, it's kind of moot...like ctbear said, if you're still running the stock rom, you're not on 2.5 anyway, most likely 2.1, so you'll still need to flash a ROM if you want to use co0kie's home tab
i live in europe, and my carrier is Hi.nl so i dont really know what model im using..
thanks for the information, could you provide me with a link that has the 2.5 rom? i'm so afraid i will choose the wrong one since there are so many around
thanks for the information again!
Hey guys, flashing a ROM isn't the only way to get 2.5 on the phone. I followed the directions in the "Manila Sense 2.5 cab?" thread (forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=661941) after a Task29 and a couple of hard resets using the stock TMOUS 6.5 ROM...I have 2.5 running fine with the CAB from post #4 of that thread. I put CHT and CHT Editor on and all is well. It's way easier to use a Energy ROM, but I was having problems with messaging and connectivity so I went back to the stock ROM. As I said, all is well...going on the 3rd day with the setup and haven't had any hiccups. No tinfoil hat phantom usage issues, either.
YMMV, obviously.

If you got the phone from KPN/HI you will have an unlocked TP2 for which you can get the latest Rom on the HTC website. Manillaversie: 2.5.20121225.0 is Sense 2.5. Original Dutch Rom should be 2.07.404.1 NLD.
If you need any more info let me know. You can also send me a Pb in Dutch if that would be easier for you.

In Norway the TP2 is now coming with Sense 2.5 as standard stock ROM.
To the question, slide the slider at the bottom to right(all the way) then you'll be at the settings tab, follow cokie's instructions from there...

You dont need to upgrade your rom to get Sense 2.5...

I myself havnt tried it as I DO flash roms. However, Xhero doesn't seem to know much about anything on this phone... nor to use the search feature... nor how to use google and search "The difference between Manilla and sense" Soooooo I wouldn't recommend flashing a phone just yet to him/her.
Xhero... do your reading.. LOTS of it before you start trying to customize your phone. You dont want to screw it up and then have to come back and start a new thread asking how to hard reset your phone... Please please learn how to search the forums too. The best advice that can be given to a new user. If its too difficult to use that search key in the top right of EVERY page on every thread on XDA then in google search what you are looking for and type "XDA" after it..... ie.. "Manilla 2.5 install cab XDA" or something like that and Bingo Bango you'll be brought to the thread!
A little research and common sense goes a long way. Have fun with your phone and remember to post relevant questions in the appropriate threads and you'll likely get your answers super quick!
I have allready guided him to the correct Romupdate from HTC. Yes there are other ways of getting Sense 2.5 but this is now the easiest way for him to obtain it.
In the Netherlands the TP2 is also now being shipped with Sense as I got mine last Saturday with the new Sense on there.
I'm still running the stock AT&T rom on my tilt 2 and the version of touchflo 3d that I have is 2.1.19183217.0
anyways I would like to use cookies home tab mainly so i can customize the walpaper for all of the touch flo screens, and not just the home tab. but it requires version 2.5 and I haven't seen anything about updating the sense version. I'd rather not go through the trouble of flashing a new rom if i don't have to. or if there is another program that would work for version 2.1 that would be fine too.
To get Sense 2.5, you must have a rom flashed to your phone that has it preinstalled. There is no upgrading Manila without flashing a new rom.
Well not sure if you can "upgrade" manila to 2.5 or if you'd need to uninstall (?) it but here is a link to a cab that is manila 2.5.
http://www.freeza-inc.com/freezaROM/OEMCAB/fi. Sense - 2.5.2011.3030 for WM6.1 beta.cab
And here is a link to a lot of different files that you might find interesting.
http://www.freeza-inc.com/freezaROM/OEMCAB/
Use HDWalls, if all you want is to have the same background in all tabs. You don't need Sense 2.5/Co0kie's for that.
Hi!
Im using the rom Besfen released (the wm 6.5 one) which has manila TF2d 1.2
I wanted to upgrade to manila 2d 2.0 but dont know how to. So please help me out here!
there is no way to upgrade your manila unless the ROM has the required dependancies cooked in...but even then you would lose a lot of space on your phone memory while installing 2.0 and might even face inter-compatibility issues...
i suggest flashing a ROMs with manila 2.0 cooked in it...go through the ROM development section to find one that you like...
Hi thanks for the info......well actually i tried finding a good rom with manila 2.0 and was unsuccessful...then i thought, why not wait a little more for karanz new rom (the v8).
If you can suggest any good rom with the new manilla in it or if there is any way to get the flipping clock(the actual flipping one ) somehow because thats all i want from the new manila
i don't think karan's V8 is gonna have manila in it...last i read was that he was planning on releasing a clean ROM coz he wanted to focus on performance and not the looks...
if its a ROM you want then you could try karan's V7 or my own Psychocynicystic ROM coz i felt they performed fairly well...both have manila 2.0...nedalll's rom also has manila but i think it was 1.2...
(and now for a bit of shameless self-publicity)
or you could download my latest Dark Water ROM and install manila 2.0 with nice skin built in from pin12's thread (i've confirmed it to work myself)
and if its only the flipping clock you want...you could download a plugin for titanium but it still isn't as smooth and graphically well presented as having the actual manila flip clock...
ooooh didnt see that your rom also had manila 2.0 :3 gonna try it out now
