I recently got my Touch Pro 2, and love the device. However I'm still on T-Mobile 6.1 ROM, and waiting for their 6.5 update.
There are many custom tabs/screens for Manila on this forum. Is it possible to use them on this stock ROM? Or I must switch to a cooked one?
U going to have to swith to a custom rom. its best if you get your roms from thewingster.com
I guess flashing custom roms invalidates my warranty.
Thanks anyways, I might try it when I have a little more courage.
Don't listen to him, you don't need a custom ROM to customize TF3D. I use the stock ROM and I have switched wallpapers, clocks, taskbar icons, slider icons, lock screen and more. Tons of stuff you can do with stock ROM!
Here's an example:

EDIT: Just search a bit here and places like PPCGeeks etc, you can find tons of stuff. Most of the CABs from this forum (Rhodium > Rhodium themes, applications and software) work with the stock ROM. Just be sure to check which Manila / WM version they are made for. There are also many to be found in other categories here at XDA, and also you can google them.

Thanks a lot. That link looks very promising, I'll try it as soon as possible.
Ditto, I was going to say the same thing. It's not like your manila files are locked in stock ROMs. So you can manipulate them as you see fit.
You don't need to resort to flashing your ROM unless you want a complete different version of Manila.
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

Is it really so?
In my rhodium bought in store in Sweden thera are Manilla 2.1 and weather with clock.
Do you mean that the rom is custom made for swedes?

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.
Hi every one.
recently I came across a bug in my Wm6.5.xx rom with htc sense.2.5.
when i try to add a program short-cut to the home-tab quick-links, Htc-Sense restarts ,but i can add contacts or bookmarks without any problems.
any suggestion are welcomed.
This sounds really familiar! I am sure I ran across this one before...but cant remember what I did to fix it!!!
Anyhow, did you interchange any of the manila pkgs? Or using all the original pkgs together?
yup, it was a customized version for the rhodium.but NrgZ told that i must have the wrong version of icon-loader package in the rom.
im trying now.
I apologise if this has been answered as, much as I have tried, I cannot find the answer.
I am using osKitchen 1.31 amd have successfully cooked a few of my own ROMs now, which are not always the greatest success (gotta love HSPL).
The one thing that is eluding me at the moment is how ROM chefs have successfully cooked in themes like the GTX white theme. I've checked a variety of threads on the subject but I am none the wiser.
The theme I have is in CAB form and so I believe I need to convert this to an EXT package but then my knowledge begins to dry up. Any guidance (or links to threads I have missed) would be greatly appreciated. Thus far I have tried to convert/produce app.reg files, with no success, and have even tried cheekily pulling the theme from ChuckyROM (the one with kitchen), but even then with no success.
Thanks

Use the Import menu, and choose Import EXT package. There you can choose a cab file for import, and it will create the proper directories, which you can then cook into your ROM.
Remember to position the new GTX EXT package to install AFTER the Manila files!

Unfortunately it didn't work.
When you say position the GTX EXT to install after the Manilla files, is that by setting the priorities or is it as simple as naming the GTX package zzz_GTX?

You need to have the GTX manila files and images overwrite the stock manila files and images. You can accomplish this by zzz or priority (probably the better way, but either way should work).

I always use the zzzzz_ naming scheme...
I've had some limited success! Thanks for all your help with this, I really appreciate it.
The theme contained a wallpaper which is not applying, so I'm guessing I need to start looking at the app.reg. As difficult as this appears to be, I'm really enjoying playing with the kitchen. It's kind of... addictive!
Success!
I converted the GTX theme to EXT and then 'borrowed' the app.reg file from ChuckyROM. This is what was missing from the package and so nothing would load once this was added to the ROM.
I then extracted the wallpapers and created a new package with just those in. For now I am using ChuckyP, ChuckyL and GTX2 as these are fairly nice on the eye and will do for now. I placed the wallpapers into \GTX Wallpapers\files first, and then created an app.dat file in \GTX Wallpapers\ (I used Wordpad... I feel so dirty).
Code:
Directory("\Windows"):-File("ChuckyL.png","\Windows\ChuckyL.png")
Directory("\Windows"):-File("ChuckyP.png","\Windows\ChuckyP.png")
Directory("\Windows"):-File("GTX2.png","\Windows\GTX2.png")
The theme loads, the wallpapers are present and all is well!
Not bad for a noob.
Thank you all for your help.
P.S. I am now trying to cook in CHT Editor 1.8.5.1... expect screams for help shortly!!

Look over here in the GTX Sense Thread. Maybe you will find solution over there.

Cool thanx got it rgiht. now just need a fix for internet tab scrolling and the facebook tab that shows blue icon when you are on it but ill check out the same thread
Almost There
Got the Calendar working got twitter fix got facebook font fixed. Only two problems left does anybody have a fix for internet tab not scrolling and secondly when i stop on the facebook tab the icon is blue. have alread loaded the basic GTX facebook icon fix here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=671634 but that didnt fix it.
I ended up editing the manila files myself and got the blue icons sorted.
Internet tab still runs away
GTX - OEM
Here is a full working GTX with all fixes applied, has default tabs as well as facebook tab icons.
If you are batteling to get the facebook tab settings to work. Typically error in facebookutil.exe then compare the dll files with the ones in cookie home tab editor. there an older one in chteditor that makes it not work so overwrite it with this one in this rar file. O yes its optimized for OSkitchen.
it has cookie 1.85 btw
Greetings!
First off, I have little idea what I'm doing, this is my first attempt to create a custom ROM. I've searched around and can't seem to find a solution.
I've got an Xperia X1 and am using osKitchen.
The ultimate goal is to have a Japanese ROM with WM build 25369 with no additional UIs, i never use sense or whatever anyway, just the old today screen with cal, messaging, and time/date items.
I have:
Latest stock ROM for X1 (GENERIC_NAM_R3AA011)
23569_MSXIPKernel_SYS_QVGA_WQVGA_VGA_WVGA_0409 (Just Eng)
initflashfiles-dat-all-langs-updated-feb-24-2010.zip
RUU_Diamond_eMobile_JPN_1.81.881.2_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.48.25.26_1.09.25.07_Ship.exe (6.1 JPN ROM)
Kovsky-xip-bin-oemxipkernel-nk-exe-native-WM65.zip
WM6550-23563-Rollup-All-Pkgs.rar (This has all languages)
Here's what I'm doing, anyone of them (or all) could be very wrong, hopefully I've done at least one thing right:
Imported X1 ROM for OEMDrivers, OEMApps, OEMOperators, oemversion, oem_dpi
Imported 6.1 JPN ROM for OEM Lang 411
-What i did here is i copied everything over from the JPN rom's oem 411 folder into the X1 OEM Lang folder, overwrote any conflicts, deleted any 0409 muis, and copied over the file from initflashfiles zip for 0411.
Replaced OEMXipKernel with the one from Kovsky-xip-bin-oemxipkernel-nk-exe-native-WM65.zip and selected custom XIP when making the rom with the one also found in that zip. Put the rest of the files (os.nb.payload, xip.bin, uldr.nb0, romhdr.bin) into the ROM Parts folder.
Then, I Used OS, OSFiles, MSXIPKernel, MSXIPKernelLTK from the 23569_MSXIPKernel_SYS_QVGA_WQVGA_VGA_WVGA_0409 zip, and the rest of the packages i used from the WM6550-23563-Rollup-All-Pkgs rar (because it had 0411 files).
I deleted dpi and lang folders that my device doesn't use (it uses 192dpi 480x800 and 0411) and built the ROM, flashed, and it shows the Sony Ericsson splash screen, and then goes black forever.
I know I must be doing something very wrong, any hints as to what?
Thanks
Pfff, what a big list,
Okay I did it this way, and I make my rom in 12 languages and they are all working.
1. Install oskitchen and import xperia rom
2. After finishing import 23563 build
3. Install another oskitchen and import diamond jpn rom
4. Copy the oem_lang 0411 and the ext packages to your kovsky kitchen be aware you put them in the right place.
5. Open the kovsky kitchen and select the Japanese language and select the packages you wanna use in your rom and you're done.
Regards,
Cool thanks!
That would be for 23563 though right? What if i wanted to use 23569 with 23563 packages? ....No real reason, higher number, figure it's better somehow....that even possible?

Just start with 23563, it's a good package and if you have a working rom you can alway's make the change.

If you extract the 23569 build, you only have to change the All and Common folder, but in your first post you where talking about a 25369 build and I didn't know what kind off build that was.
Succes buddy,
Make sure you have the proper wince.nls in your build. If you leave it out, the rom won't boot.

I don't think there is any difference between those 2 wince.nls but if you wanna be sure just use the one in the 23563/COMMON folder.

Hmm, I've got a wince.nls in:
Sources\Devices\HTC Kovsky\Profiles\default\OEMXipKernel
Sources\Windows Mobile Builds\23569\0411\WinCENLS_Lang_0411
and
Sources\Windows Mobile Builds\23569\Common\WinCENLS_WWE
they are all different sizes....should they all be the same? or only have one? or?

No I have them also, never take a look at it, only checked the file when I cooked my rom's never changed anything or replaced it with another version or from another build.
