I just installed 6.5, but I think I am going back to 6.1
CONS
MD2 is far superior in every way, especially when it comes to email, you can view headers and check multiple accounts quickly, it is much nicer too.
I hate the fact that I cant quickly access my recently used programs.
PROS
it feels a bit faster
Bottom Line
I really think that 6.5 is no big deal, just a bit of eye candy, its funny how microsoft paid big bucks for fashion designers to design some themes instead of investing a couple of thousand dollars for a decent UI expert, they never cease to amaze me with their stupidity.
it is a shame that everybody is going along with it, as if this is the next big thing, it is really a very small baby step. MD2 not to speak of MD3 are far superior in every way.
Have I missed something? What do you guys think?
Which version of 6.5 did you install? The one nfsfan cooked up has m2d in it and thats what iam using... 6.5 w/ m2d as the GUI... i have noticed everything on my phone seems much easier/faster to work. No way id go back to 6.1...

Really? I am gonna try this. Last time I tried 6.5, I did not see M2D
just try nfsfans v8 6.5 rom, if that isnt a good enough reason for you to keep 6.5, then you need to switch to a crackberry
yup... under the today options...uncheck the default and check touchflo...
I didnt like the 6.5 gui either and went straight back to m2d in the options. Just updated to v8 for 6.5 a few moments ago and the options are there... I believe nfsfan had it in is roms for the last few versions...

I use his rom, but MD2 is buggy in 6.5 (i tried v8 too)
I loved his ROM , it's best of both world, but i mainly use M2D , and also SPB Shell 3 , switch it back and forth.
I switched back to 6.1 simply because I hated 6.5's UI on the Today screen.

Buggy in which way? Can you eleborate?
I was using v6 r2 for almost two weeks and it was rock solid...then i switched over to v8 just the other day and again.... rock solid. If you find it "buggy" in his release you should make note of it so he can work on it and try and resolve those issues...
Personally it feels like m2d w6.1 but faster and more stable. Launching Garmin would take some time before hand, and now with 6.5, is 10x faster...
i dont particularly like the large icon start menu. is there anyway to change it to a smaller view of the icons?
I went back to 6.1.
Slingbox Mobile looks like ass using 6.5 unless I disabled both the 6.5 GUI and M2D. It's a big deal for me cause I use Sling a lot. Memory issues somewhere.
Other than that, I think 6.5 with M2D worked pretty good.

I don't know when you encountered that screen glitch, but I experienced a similar issue with NFSFAN's 6.5 rom after I changed themes. A soft reset always cleared up the problem for me.

What versions are you using?
Slingplayer mobile currently has these version that were just released
* SlingPlayer Mobile for Windows Pocket PC 1.6.0.114 (US)
* SlingPlayer Mobile for Windows Smartphone 1.6.0.62 (US)
* SlingPlayer Mobile for Palm OS 1.00.22 (US)
* Windows Mobile Downloads (UK)
As for an application not working correctly with a pre-release version of WinMO, thats hardly the Chefs fault as the Application might not have a version to even look at yet let alone develop for
What versions of WinMO 6.5 have you tried - different Chefs utilize different kitchens and different items and tweaks as well so without trying all of them you really dont know if one wouldnt work or all wouldnt
Up to you if you want the time to spend with it I dont use it as if I want to watch television, I watch it, if Im out and cant watch some show or event, well thats what bittorrent or hulu is for LOL

have to agree here - thats an incompatible version of some theme on that ROM
Have seen it a few times myself, not the ROM thats for sure as it didnt occur when you first flashed and used the device, just after something was installed

These themes work with every providers release of the TP2/Rhodium in one easy .cab install GSM or CDMA It fixs any clock to a flip clock it removes the nasty orange icons from Sprint. it fixs the background for all tabs without any kind of hack has different walls for Port and Landscape. Dialer is fully skinned on all 3. Keyboards anything that could be skinned is skinned. The Home screens are fully functional on all providers nothing is not working everything looks nice and it is all one .cab per theme... no more 40 cabs to get a almost skinned interface. More themes will be available soon I have 2 more in progress. Windows 6.5 skins and TF 2.5-2.6 skins coming soon as well. Enjoy it has been a long haul to get here but the days is at last upon us.

Nice, Great work!

lol..when did you finish?! i remember you were still finishing up Sunday night...
looks great. keep us updated. i have been havin fun with my current theme 4 awhile and will be wantin a new look soon. hopefully most everyone will be updating to 6.5 soon so it would be good to have options there.
The 6.5 update if its not rolled in with the new sense UI [TF3D] will not effect these themes at all I have my handsd on the att version that has 6.5 included and it does not look to contain Sense UI only TF3D 2.1 so it will not effect the use of my themes at all to upgrade to 6.5 will be fine. I will be maken themes for 6.5 very soon to match these themes to keep everything looking uniform. I also just updated my PRO2 to the euro offical update. It does contain the new Sense UI but not the same one from the Leo I am already working on this version to have ready for when it rolls out in the US. prolly wont be for a while so I have time. )
off the hook theme probex! that alienware theme is by far the illest theme ive seen from u and cant wait for it to be available for my tp2.. thank you for all your hard work now and in advance cuz i cant wait to see what u'll do next! what about a thunder cats theme?!? lol! my phone is itchin for that blue theme!

I just installed the naughty by nature theme boy is this theme sick ,probex has the best skills out there cant wait for ur other themes , if u need me to test anything on a sprint tp2 i will probex thanks again .And will ur 2.5 themes have weather on the homescreen ?
am I supposed to uninstall HDwall also? My missed calls over lap the date, and the tab on bottom says current selection
You must have had something installed that is messing with it. Yes it should say current selection on the tab but nothing should overlap did you have some kind of background for all tabs or something installed?
My themes have been extensivly tested on every provider on a stock install with no issues.

just hdwalls and I think, could that be the problem? also, the icon doesn't appear through the current selection window, just the text, i'll try uninstalling some apps tomorrow to see which one is causing it to act up
oh, I should also add that I'm not using a stock ROM, could possibly be the issue as well, great work though looks awesome
Yes that fact you are not on a stock rom is really hard for me to predict the behavior this is exactly why I stuck with the stock roms for all providers for building and testing. Its almost impossible for me to know how each rom chief will add or remove parts from other versions of touchflow or the sense UI I wanted a product that could be deployed to the mass's. The average user will not load custom roms. Esp on a device that works so well already with the stock rom. HD walls if it contains any manila files/ and it probably does could most deffinatly be causing wierd behavior If it contained some sort of wall for all tabs hacks My version does not run hacks to have wallpapers on all tabs.
And it's not only ROM chefs adding to this challenge, but also HTC and phone distributors themselves with the sheer amount of versions of TouchFLO plus additions from phone vendors - no standards and no documentations whatsoever. Everyone takes about how good for end users and for developers so called "open" is - here is the proof point that just the oppsite is the case.
I love Probex' work. It's design versus a mix of elements into a CAB file. And I can live with some glitches

Thanks D/\SH your the man.
I have the ATT tilt 2, and it is great but i hate the stock ATT branded bloatware version. What is the best rom for it to date? I love the touch flo 3d and would like to keep it, but be able to remove all of the ATT logos in the background and everywhere else. Thanks for your help.

There are plenty of ROMs, and it's really depending on your own personal style, trial and error. I'm trying out EnergyROM from here, but you may also want to look at others in this forum.
First let me say I found the stock AT&T ROM very satisfactory. It was responsive and worked well. First I deleted much of the bloat using the wiki as a guide. But the weather clock proved too tempting and I flashed a custom ROM. I went with this one and am very satisfied:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=568233
Only thing is that for me YouTube isn't working. Others report it works for them and a few like my self have issues. You might not have the issue. I recommended you do a hard reset after the install.
I hear good things about the Energy ROM too. I like the ROM I'm using because it was less app pre-installed, so I can install them myself onto the storage card keeping my device relatively clean and with ample storage available.

Just my 2 cents. 2.5 has a few nice things like Twitter tab, new email tab. But the Contacts tab is ugly and the lack of landscape is a deal breaker. If I didnt want landscape I would go back to my tilt lol lol ok 2 cent spent lol

I believe they both have the weather animations. I like the contacts tab in 2.5 better but like the programs tab in 2.1.
Right now I'm using 2.5, but plan on giving 2.1 a try tonight.
Best thing is to try both and decide for yourself.
I have the energy rom, and it works great. But how do you change the background in all the tabs? I figured out the home screen, but i cant figure out how to change the background on all the other tabs in touchflow3d

There is a cab that will change all background tabs. BE WARNED!! When you change the background you lose the weather animation. Weather Animation only works with default background. You can use HD WALL to change it and not lose the animation. here is a link for 2.1 1919

not to start a flame war or anything but... do you REALLY need landscape in manila? really? it has landscape in photo and music AND just about every app (sms, email, web browser, etc.) but really? having landscape on the homescreen that important?
anyhow... you should try flashing the official clean europe WWE version first. then move up from there. im running 2.5 and its beautiful. i dont need landscape in manila. why would i? why would anyone? everything else has landscape...
btw: youtube works fine too. wifi/3g high/low quality. (and of course in landscape....)
AtomAng Fusion 6.0 Sense 2.1 ATT
The AT&T keyboard works without any additional cabs. Sense 2.1 supports screens in landscape mode.

Do i realy need landscape well no but sense my phone is normally on my desk woth the screen tilted it does make it awhole lot easier. mainly when i am stuck at a desk for 12 plus hours a day 6 days aweek. so to answer your question do I need it then now but will i live with out it if it is available well that is also a no. lol ok back on topic
i would like to try out the At0mAng Fusion V6.0 but the download will take 4 days it appears. can anyone email/file transfer it to me that already has it?

lol ok. i wasnt trying to be rude. im guessing you're saying you wanna see the clock in landscape as that is pretty much the only thing that isnt landscape supported in 2.5. but for those that dont know, it can get confusing when people say "no landscape". 2.5 DOES have landscape. on everthing but the manila(home) screens. if you open the sms app, for example, and open the keyboard or tilt it sideways using the accelerometer it WILL go into landscape. same in web browser and every other app. not to bring up the "other" phone, but just to compare 2.5 is like the iphone os as in: homescreen stays upright no matter what but as soon as you open any app you can tilt it into landdscape. or, in the tp2, open the keyboard into landscape... so YES 2.5 has landscape. just not in home screens. (with the exception of you, how many times do most people have the keyboard out in the clock screen?)
as far as ROMS, and back on topic , if 2.1 is your cup of tea, then i say go with the official ones. pretty much as close to bug free as youre gonna get. instead of trading ATT's bloatware for someone elses. get an official one on there then install whatever app you DO use. i went from att's to the official europe WWE one from the htc website(you still have to hardspl, btw) and i gotta say: i dont even know if my tilt2 does "edge" anymore as it hasnt budge from HSPA since.. worst case is 1 or 2 bars of "H" inside buildings.. and everything works. i then went from that to 2.5 and its just beautiful. been on it since. bug free as far as i can tell... Rhodium_AF htc sense 2.5 by ark666.
IMO, the TPC ROM is the best ATT replacement. Since I got my Tilt2 I've been messing with all the ROMs and finally decided to stick with this one. It's clean, nice looking, and very stable. The only problem I see so far is that activesync shows up in the taskmanager, but that's not really a problem cause it's always running anyways.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=576361
aruppenthal is just getting started with his At&t based rom. It's still very beta but in the weeks to come it will be the rom of choice for Tilt2 owners.
If you're not wanting to test a beta I'd look to one of At0mAng's At&t roms (Sense 2.1 or 2.5)
Read both of the threads and see what looks good to you.

Sorry if this is a newbie type question but in flashing the euro rom, do you maintain US 3G?
i ended up using the energy rom, i liked it, especially the start menu at the bottom. but then i settled on the Rhodium_AF htc sense 2.5 by ark666.
i like this one the most, i will continue using it until i get the itch to change again. iused the HDwall to change the backgrounds and it looks great, it just wont do landscape when im in the htc sense 2.5, which isnt that big of a deal. Overall super happy with this phone, blows the old tilt out of the water (even though its not technically the next version of the tilt)
Thanks everyone!

Hello, my name is R and I'm an addict, to flashing, that is.
I had the Rhodium until the 24th when the HD2 came out and I was second in line at the store and was the first one out of there with a brand new HD2. (I know, the other lady had issues... lol...)
Anyway, I installed Cookie's Home tab, System SEVEN for push email, Garmin Mobile XT, Quick Menu and Total Commander on the phone, and it has been running better than the Rhodium ever did, even when I installed the cooked ROMs in it, so much so that I'm afraid to flash a cooked ROM on my HD2 and spoil it...
The things that I miss from the cooked ROMs:
1- Excluding the music tab and the pictures tab from rotation (NRG's Rhodium ROMs with Manila 2.5 can do that, and if i install MaxManila I know that it does that too, but I only ever used MaxManila for the extra links on the home tab and Cookie's Home tab does that with less bloat)
2- NRG's theme with the raised windows buttons instead of the flat ones in the Stock ROM.
3- I just read one of the posts below and remembered how sweet threaded emails were on the cooked ROMs, but System SEVEN didn't play nice with any of the 6.5.5 ROMs, and even some of the regular 6.5 ROMs, so I always had to reflash because the ROMs would freeze after a few hours and I would get an "Application Error" message that didn't go away, even uninstalling SEVEN didn't work... Why do I need SEVEN? I have three hotmail accounts, one personal and two business, and POP3 just doesn't work well, at least not with hotmail (or live mail, however you want to call it) and I haven't found anything better than SEVEN for configuring multiple hotmail accounts for push on windows mobile. Kind of lame when you think about it, because hotmail belongs to M$ and WinMo only allows one windows live account, and blackberries allow several windows live accounts, all with push...
Things that never worked on the Cooked ROMs and work perfectly on the stock ROM:
1- Facebook Integration: On the cooked ROMs, facebook integration kind of worked, I could link my favorite contacts to their facebook profiles and get their facebook pictures on my contacts tab, however, whenever they called me I saw their Outlook picture instead of their facebook picture, and I had to manually add the Outlook picture every time or I would get the generic gray avatar picture instead. On the stock ROM, I always see the facebook picture everywhere
2- On all the cooked ROMs that I flashed to the Rhodium, regardless of the version of Manila, I had to go to task manager and terminate outlook all the time because if I went to the email tab and tapped on Inbox and I was on an account other than the one that was open in Outlook (say I opened my hotmail inbox, then went back to the home tab, then back to the email tab and selected the exchange account and tapped on Inbox) Outlook would hang and I would have to restart it all the time. On the Stock ROM it works flawlessly, Outlook never hangs.
3- For the life of me, I never could figure out how to close Total Commander on the 6.5.X ROMs
4- I use Garmin Mobile XT, and while it worked, whenever the main GUI was open, it left a gap on the top between the GUI and the status bar or however you want to call it.
The Stock ROM is so good and stable that I'm not even going to flash anything until the Stock ROM is available to reflash.
Anyone knows how to exclude the music and the pictures tab from rotation (BSB Tweaks Rotation doesn't play well with rotating manila on the stock ROM, however TX_Total_Landscape.cab from the Touch Xtreme ROMs works perfectly), or anyone knows how to modify the default theme and make the windows buttons raised as in the NRG's themes, I would appreciate it if they let me know. (Some will say search the forums, but I've been searching for 6 days now and haven't found anything)
My two cents.
Peace!
Three row Landscape keyboard
When I first got my Rhodium (OK, TMO US HTC Touch Pro2) I loved the landscape keyboard, it only had 3 rows of keys and was very unobtrusive and functional. Then I started flashing and I really really really (as my 5 year old would say) dislike the new landscape EZInput keyboard layout. I have searched and searched endlessly for the original three row keyboard, but I've had no luck, there is one, but it's only for VGA devices, and I did dump my Rhodium ROM, but I haven't found a way to make a cab out of the dumped modules for the original keyboard (or any other modules for that matter), there are a couple of tutorials here and there, and I have followed them, but maybe because I have windows 7 they don't work, or maybe I'm doing something wrong.
Case in point: does anyone know where to get the below keyboard and install it on the HD2?
View attachment 301757
When I first got my HD2, my fingers were all over the place and I couldn't click on anything accurately. I really missed my Rhodium but figured that I would adapt to the new capacitive screen and the HD2 didn't have the "Align Screen" available in its settings. I must say that I was still struggling with it until today that I found this and I was able to align my screen and now I can tap anywhere with great accuracy and my days of missing my Rhodium are gone...
Yet another one
And this is the last one...
I will update this thread with the CABs that I install and the ROMs that I flash, and even the CABs that I make to make my phone run smooth and fast...

People who plan to include a lot of data in their thread and lots of responses usually reserve a space or two on the thread.

This is the one I also might try after a month or week of the stock rom, i'm waiting for us to be able to reflash the stock rom...i don't even have the HD2 US yet but it's coming...and i have tons of cabs ready for it...so I would love the auto-install feature of that rom...but yeah, that facebook picture thing would be big for me as well...and on the stock rom some games lag a tad, so i will be using the 3d driver patch cab. and see if it helps.
I just flashed back to stock myself....I've yet to find a custom ROM that was as bug-free as stock
I just wish they'd release an official 6.5.x update. I'll miss the taskbar on the bottom of the screen, threaded emails, nicer stock apps (I prefer Titanium to Sense)....

There was a link floating around here right after release. Not sure what happened to it.
You can find the stock rom here, under the Leo 2.10 folder, have flashed it myself after testing a few custom roms:
http://www.4shared.com/dir/22189940/b8552fa0/Shipped_Leo_ROMs.html
I find the stock rom really nice too. However I do wish I had a stock 6.5.X to go with though. I miss a lot of the little things in 6.5.X like threaded email, Start button on the bottom, Beautiful menus, and the general ugly is gone.
Yes, one wonders why HTC released the T-MO HD2 with the old version when they will soon be releasing the so called HD Mini with 6.5.3.
The Stock ROM is nice and suitable for your average Joe but for cell phone enthusiasts it is a memory hog and full of bloatware. That said, it would need to be stripped to be worthy of its own thread.

I have to agree with the bloatware part of your statement. However, every cooked ROM that I used had it's own bloatware. Now, I know this is preference, but for instance, I don't like Opera, I prefer plain old IE, however, Opera is installed in all Cooked ROMs and there is no way to uninstall it. There are several other things that I would take out of every ROM, including the Stock of course, but I just havent have time to learn how to cook myself yet. I will soon, though... matter of fact, I'm dumping my ROM right now and will see how I can manage to "clean it up" a little bit and see what happens...
I'm a cell phone enthusiast myself, or at least I consider my selft to be one. My first Phone was an MDA, then I had a Wing, then the Touch Pro2, and now the HD2, and I flashed and customized each and every one of them...

Diamond TF3D Config DOES NOT work on my phone
I CANNOT untick TouchFlo3D as it DOES NOT appear in the items list of the today settings.
Can anyone shed some light on how you theme the phone. What can i be doing wrong?

First you have to know what version of manila you're using. Are you using stock rom?
sounds like he doesnt have touchflo at all....
update rom, maybe then try...
It goes by different names... see if you have something called HTC Sense in your home items. Or Manilla
How are you trying to install the theme's? Are you talking about a theme for the menu bars (top and bottom) or are you talking about a theme for HTC Sense (Aka Touch flo 3d)
Each should basically install via a cab which is an install program. If its a standard windows mobile theme which will just change the background the bars then you just have to move the theme file which you can move over to a folder onto your phone (not SD card) and you should see it in your themes section in home settings.
If you want to switch appearance of HTC Sense/TouchFlo3d/Manilla... whatever you want to call it You can try this too... Theme Switcher] it looks interesting although Ive never tried it
Hope this helps
go to settings>all settigns>home or today>items

it is used to modify windows desktop theme, not manila theme
manila only supports change wallpaper,
if you want modify manila's theme, you need to modify theme code of manila
Sorry for the lag.
Apparently i do not have TouchFlow3d
I have Sense. Not sure why their is one or the other.... I was never asked which i wanted when buying the phone. Even the CUSTOMIZING HOME SCREEN tutorial on tmobile's site assumes you have TF3D.
The whole thing is just confusing.
And the reason i inquire is because i really hate the stock layout/display/theme of my phone but every single editor/mod/customizer i find is for the touchflo3d!!!!!! ESPECIALLY co0kies home screen editor. I really would have liked that. Why do sense users get the shaft?

ummm... you might wanna look into that alittle bit more. cookies home screen works with sense also, 2.1 or 2.5.
TF3D= pretty much the just wm6.1 and what i call a "test" for sense
2.1= pretty much wm6.5 and like TF3d but with graphic improvements and stuff.
2.5= ment for the HD2 but since were cool we ripped it, but pretty much same as 2.1 but just an updated version pretty much
if i may suggest a ROM for you it would be this... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=569507
just scroll down to the 2nd post and look for "- valkyrie.ftp v6.7.21904-TR2.5 28th MAY wm6.5 without extra tabbs" it has cookie cooked it it
that would more than likely fit you since its a basic version and has good things preloaded with it. but if you want more than just that then go for this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=562773
just look for the download button with sense 2.5 and that has the cookie mod already cooked in it as well
just make sure to hardSPL your rhodium before you do any of this. for any more info just look in the ROM development thread and look for things in there.
with that said im done for today and im going to sleep

Like I said.. Sense is touchflo3D for all intensive purposes... most of the editors you see WILL work with sense. Sense is the newer name for Touchflo3d.
Sense comes in different varients... 2.1 and 2.5... you likely have one of those. I can't say for sure but I thought that cookies home tab only worked with 2.5 which is a significant upgrade. If it does work with Sense 2.1 then odds are you are good either way.
Do some more reading and you'll find out everything you need.

It doesn't work with 2.1 I already tried a while ago and ended up having to hard reset my phone, losing everything, because it screwed it up.
