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.

Windows Mobile 6.5 & TouchFlo 3D 2.6

When the TD2 gets the windows mobile 6.5 free update will the new TouchFlo be included? Im just wondering if im going to have to update both at different times or will TF3D 2.6 come bundled with WM6.5?
Thanks

I think it will come with 6.5.

i think it probably will come together but i'm hoping not, i want 6.5but i don't want the new touch flo 'cause personally i think it's not as sleek looking as what we've got now

idk i think the colour will be a nice addition to windows mobile 6.5 and will show off the beautiful screen on the TD2

eagerly anticipating this

WinMo 6.5 for Topaz
Hi Forumers,
Can someone guide me to where can I download a ROM for TOPAZ with WinMO 6.5?; Can't wait October to experience WinMo 6.5

Personally I hope they release 6.5 with Manila 2.5 (or whatever the latest one is)

6.5

Hi, I got my Diamond2 3 days ago, flashed about 5 ROMS so far, and Dutty's seems to be the fastest and most stable IMHO
September 19, 2009 05:42 AM Duttys Topaz WM6.5 R2
http://htcpedia.com/soft/htc-topaz-rom.html
This one runs on 23016 build of wm 6.5 and Manilla 2.1
September 18, 2009 02:52 AM Duttys Topaz WM6.5 Leo R1
http://htcpedia.com/soft/htc-topaz-rom.html
This also runs on 23016 build of wm 6.5 BUT Manilla 2.6 Leo skin (VERY COOL INDEED)
I'm currently using WM6.5 R2 of Dutty, cause the Leo with Manilla 2.6 is very slightly sluggish, but very useable. Once you've hard-SPL'd, i'ts very easy to flash a new ROM, so feel free to try both

I recommend udk's rom.

By the way i think TD3D v2.1 will come with the new official 6.5 rom. Not 2.6.

That's my understanding as well.
Isn't the manilla 2.5/2.6 pegged for the new LEO handset?

I hope so... I think it's ugly. How will I get my wallpaper on my home screen the with way they plan to clutter it up?

As has been stated on several forum posts regarding Manilla versions, 2.6 will not run on the Topaz; It is a new build for a different chipset, and is functionally no different to Manilla 2.5
2.5 is available on many ROMs in the Topaz ROMs forum, but I believe that these are rips from devices which already have 2.5 available.
As an opinion, I found 2.5 to be very slow in the custom ROMs I tried. Manilla 2.1 looks almost identical (you can get skins to add colourful icons, if you like that sort of thing) and 2.5 added no additional functionality which I needed.

Dutty's rom is the best i tried...

I tried dutty's rom but i had a problem with iGO. It runs in 640x480 area and another issue it not supports video calls.

Can some one tell what is the new feature of TouchFlo 3D 2.6 ?
Or any URL/Link where I can see the new feature and download if any for update?
Thanks.

I have installed udk's ROM with WM6.5 and Manila 2.5. It runs very smoothly and fast, and it seems quite stable up to now. I haven't checked other WM6.5 Leo ROMs, so I cannot know how udk's compares with them; what I do know, is udk has produced a very good ROM.
For me, there is no question going back to WM6.1 or Manila 2.1. The new combined Windows + TF3D interface is very cool and functional...

I was just about to try udk's rom. So i have a question to you. Have you installed the suggested radio for the rom? I'm still using the original radio. Should i install?

My radio version was already 4.48.25.13, and after installing the ROM it stayed that way. Reception is fine.

Yes i installed the suggested radio. Now its perfect. I had an 3G issue but its solved also. Thanks for the recommendation.

The most stable wm6.5 rom with htc sense 2.5

I'm currently using "Miri WM 6.5 21885 V 33.0" ROM and it works great.
However, i would like to move on to a ROM with htc sense 2.5 cause
i really like the new interface.
I've flashed some htc sense v2.5 ROMS but nothing came close in terms
of speed to the manila v2.1.
Can anyone tell me what is the fastest manila v2.5 ROM out there?

Unfortunately manila 2.5 roms are generally slower than manila 2.1 roms due to htc sense (manila 2.5) not meant for HD (meant for HD2).
As for which is fastest, this is really down to trial & error, i.e. you trying out a few and finding this out yourself. Everyone will generally have different opinions on this or loyalties to certain rom chefs so you'll get different answers from different people.

HTC Sense 2.5

is there an HTC sense 2.5 installation cab file available on this forum?
All I found is only for cooking, since I have a clean windows 6.5 ROM and I would like the HTC Sense 2.5 to be my interface. The spb shell does not look as pretty as Sense.
Many thanks in advance

I think you will have to install a new ROM with sense 2.5 pre installed.

貌似没有HTC Sense 2.5的安装包…我想你只能刷机解决了…

as mentioned above. there is no cab to fully install Sense 2.5. You have to flash a ROM that has Sense 2.5 cooked in.

I have been flash 5 diiferent rom with sense 2.5, my personal opinion this one is the best http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=593678
but if you want sense 2.1 cab, Check this out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=605252. by some reason after i install this cab, my diamond works so slow, maybe you have try Gen.y version. maybe it's better. good luck.

Do you know the correct procedure for flashing the radio? would you please take a look of the problem I posted?
many thanks

Hey...

I have a Question, originally im an X1 Xperia user...but I plan to buy an HTC Touch Diamond 2...i have read that there is an official upgrade for Touch Diamond 2 from WinMo 2.1 to 2.5...
however no where it mentions if its a Sense UI 2.5 or the same old Sense UI 2.1??
Also, if its 2.1, Which is the best cooked ROM that has WinMo 6.5 WITH Sense 2.5???
Thanx and sorry if this is the wrong place to post this...
PS:I want a very basic ROM Minus all the Jazzy stuff..a very Clean, Pure and stable WinMo 6.5 with Sense UI 2.5...
Thanx a ton!

Better to ask the question in the ROM section - there is a huge choice there, and I'm certain you can find one that fits your requirements.

topaz does have an official upgrade of Sense 2.1 to 2.5. as for the best ROM u have to find that urself
