Hi,
Yesterday I bought HTC Touch 3G (Jade) with Windows 6.5. While rest all is good, what is sorely missing, is the TouchFlo, which makes navigation super cool and easy.
I see several TouchFlo .cab and ROM files for Windows 6.5. So I have few questions about their compatibility:
Which is safer to install? .cab or ROM? I see that installing .cab is like installing a program, but what about ROM? Does installing ROM would wipe out OS? Will it make the phone unstable?
How do I ensure that ROM will work on my Touch 3G Jade?
I tried installing couple of .cab files (around 5-10 MB) for touchflo but neither worked. I don't know what went wrong.
Last question, is it worth keeping Windows 6.5? Or should I opt for older Windows 6.1 with TouchFlo? (The seller is giving me a choice).
ask ur Question in the Jade Q & A it is a stiky

Hi Haree,
I too bought a Touch 3G recently which has WM 6.5
However, in the packing, it's mentioned WM 6.1
Please let me know if TouchFLO 2D can be installed in WM 6.5

I too bought HTC Touch 3G T3238+ from ebay.in
IMEI nubmer as mentioned by seller is correct when checked on several sites as well as HTC. However, most of the functions in the device are different from original HTC Touch 3G as shown on their site (HTC)! Seller says its due to upgradation of WM to 6.5 from 6.1...
I have searched on XDA-Developers.com but no skin is available that can go with this device (may be, I couldnt get proper one!)
Could experts help me installing TouchFLO in my device?

Hi everybody.
I'm using the standard HTC ROM (1.14.406.3) and I would like to update my touchflo 3D to the one present inside the Windows Mobile 6.5 without changing my ROM.
Is there a .cab to do that ?
Thanks.

There is no new TFLO3D in WM 6.5.... I'm guessing you saw a custom ROM where someone cooked in the new TFLO3D from the Rhodium.

Oh, ok.
I saw here : http://ai.rs/2009/02/htc-touch-diamond-2-screenshots/ a new version of touchflo (with calendar and new keyboard).
I'm looking for it.

Here is the new TFLO3D:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=493531
But it's for VGA only, i'm not sure what res the HD's screen is but i'm sure someone has (or is trying to) port it to that screen res.
Also, in those screenshots, the Diamond 2 is still running WM 6.1 not WM 6.5.
dwizzy130
yes you'r right.
I saw this version on a WM6.5 custom ROM for the HD (I don't remember its name)
Hi Psykokwak
here is a stable ROM with the new TF3D (it's actually in my opinion the best FRE rom)
http://win-mobile.forumpro.fr/touch...3-os-5221041-version-3-du-14-05-09-t19691.htm
I haven't seen the new tf3d as a .cab so far...

It's not really done from cabs but have a read in the Rom forum
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=453
for more details
pick one of the roms (read the thread first) and if you have questions check the stickies at the top first
then try asking in the thread for the rom you choose

Someone made a cab to install the latest touchflo 3D on our HD.
This is highly experimental.

Does HTC's WinMo 6.5 version that I can download from their site come with TF3D? It looks like it doesn't but I can't be sure, and I really like TF3D. I'd rather not switch the entire interface for a few OS "tweaks" if I don't have to. Anyone? Can I install the 6.5 then install TF3D separately?
it comes with TF3d 2.1, if you like manilla you'll love it!
hi
newbie question: will applications for winmo 6.1 work with 6.5? For example my Tomtom navigator? thanks
Hi all,
Anyone know how I can download this W6.5 ROM from HTC - my phone is a Vodafone variant and the HTC website says the update 'is not suitable' for my phone! I've tried playing around with the serial number to try to 'fool' the system but that hasn't worked either.
Cheers,
Barry
They're all here. You'll probably need to hard-spl your device though.

All apps which run on WM6.1 will run on WM6.5, including TomTom.
Hello guys,
I'm new to this all and I've heard about the Windows Mobile 6.5.5.
I own a HTC Touch Pro2 and I wish to install this version on my HTC Touch Pro2.
But the problem is, I can't seem to find this rom nowhere. Now my question is, is it a good idea to upgrade to this rom? Or is it better to stay with my version 6.5 with Energy Leo installed on it?
Thanks in advance,
Wrong place to look for ROM
Hi Kyuubi Naruto,
You need to look under ROM Development for TP2 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=490), not here...
touch pro!

Hi XDA folks,
I am new to the site and also new to windows mobile.Just bought an HTC touch 3G with windows 6.5 installed.I dont have touch flo in it.Can someone help me in getting working version of touch flo .cab file to install in my mobile.
I have seen some of older posting in XDA through searches,but there seems to be very older versions as its older postings..
I am not sure whats ROM install or manila install..help me on this as well..
Thanks in advance..
Regards,
Desire..
The touchflo posted is for ver 6.1 AFAIK, but I think it should work for 6.5. Have a try. It should do no harm. If it does not work, just uninstall.
Hi Experts,
I am planing to purchase one windows mobile company called Digibee its from Bangalore-India. It has WM 6.1 version preinstalled in it.
Earlier I have HTC Excalibure to which I have flashed n mumbers of time to WM 6.5.
Now my query is, can v flash any WM 6.1 to WM 6.5.
Pl. advice.
Best Regards
Karan
I think you can, but first search for a 6.5 or 6.5.x rom suitable for your phone. I have a Samsung Omnia i900 which comes with WM 6.1 Pro, now I have cooked (custom) WM 6.5.3 Pro flashed on it and it's working even much better and faster than the preinstalled WM 6.1 Pro. much more memory too.
Just use the Search field for what you need
But the best thing to do is to ask the phones company is it can be upgraded, byt be ware that flashing with custom rom will erase your warranty, but I think you already know all these things cuz like you said, you've already did flashing new rom

Hello,
I have purchased this digibee (SP1 (model), 3.6" WVGA, 256MB RAM,256MB ROM,Marvell PXA 310 624MHz processor, Windows Mobile 6.1) device recently,
Is your device same as mine? If so do you have any ROM (stock or custom)?
please reply....
Thank you,
Goutham.
Request advise
Hi Karan and Goutham,

Thanks in advance.

Hello Thilak,
Yes of-course you can go for it, you'll never get a windows mobile with good specs at this low price . Its performance was almost same as my previous HTC Fuze (Touch Pro), and it was running under Windows Mobile 6.1.I was searching for its stock ROM so that i can start experiment on it with other ROMs.
And many of the driver files in our digibee matches with Samsung i900 Omnia (Such as, board, processor (Marvell PXA31x), display, battery etc), and if I find digibee stock ROM then ill experiment with i900 ROMs.

Disappointed performance
I am very much disappointed with this device. I cannot load most of the apps found on the net. Installation is a problem and where installation is not a problem the battery heats up like an iron box and drains fast. I wouldnt recommend this for any one.
Under these conditions I dont think any modification like upgrading to WM6.5 will be possible.
