Hi Guys,
Two days ago, I update my ROM to the Touch-IT 2.2, and then installed the slide-lock, etc.
My first question is: What are the main differences between version 2.2 and 2.3? Should I make the effort and update my ROM release to version 2.3
Also does anyone know of any software that does smart scrolling kinda like the iphone does. I saw a program called pocket plus 4 that includes this but it also bring alot of other things i dont need
If anyone can answer me please let me know
Thanks,
Serge
Touch-It v2.3 has several new goodies, is more stable and leaves more free space. But at the moment there's as small glitch concerning the touch dual keyboard app. which will make your keyboard messed-up.
Wait for the final version of 2.3 and then do the upgrade!
There is nothing wrong with the keyboard, there is two versions of the Touch-it romz, 1 made for the wing and the other for the P4..... ..... if you use the wrong one for you device the keyboard mapping will be different, but install the right one and the keyboard will be A.ok
And as for Pocket Plus. it gives you the option to disable/uninstall INDIVIDUAL features that you do not want/need
How can i tell what version of Touch-it i've installed
now that I look at the post I used to upgrade I am not sure what version of touch-it I have, can someone tell me how I can find out what version of touch-it i have
Also in terms of common apps, and good resources I can look at, and the smart scrolling does anyone have any ideas in regards to this
Thanks Again,

About the smart scrolling, Touch-it already have it. You donot need to install Pocket plus for that. I personally feel Touch-it 2.3 faster and more responsive.
Smart Scrolling in Touch-it 2.3??
When you say it already has it, how do you activate it?
What this always a feature?
I installed version 2.2 but will be upgrading to version 2.3 this afternoon.
any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

The Touch-IT wing 2.3 works like a charm on my Herald. The keymapping problem you describe occur in BETA Touch-IT wwe P4350 (Build 18125.0.4.2) on my herald due to XT9
However someone seems to have a solution for it posted on page 1 right here: Fastest and lightest Herald ROM!.
Haven't tried it yet, because i'm sticking to Touch-It 2.0 untill the final version of Touch-It wwe P4350 is released by Itje
New user
I'm new to this so can someone give me step by step instructions on how to install this Thanx.
Indeed the XT9 problem; thanks for the heads-up prairydog; will immidaitely try the reg edits.
ITje wrote a full manual on how to upgrade to the touch-it rom.
The best way to get familiar with the proces is by reading the forums; besides this you will gain enough info to be confident in what you do without bricking your expensive herald

Hi all,
I have a AT&T Tilt with radio 1.27.12.11 as default. I followed the instructions on how to unlock and install custom ROMS on the phone. I have installed dutty's rom for now.
I found this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUvV1ZZAzcw
If you jump to 3 minutes in, does anyone know what ROM this is to get this interface? I would like this interface. The video author does not seem to mention it
Thanks!

Pretty much all new ROMs contain M2D take a look @ the Kaiser ROM Development and read the first page of the ROM thread then if your going to flash read more so you can know how to solve any issues that may have already been covered.
try to avoid the 6.5 hybrids due to some bugs between outlook/exchange that haven't been resolved yet. If you don't need email access then I recommend AthineOS's newest M2D release a couple days ago, Fast and stable with that 1 minor exception. I see this bug in other 6.5 releases.
you can always search out the manilla2d thread in the general forum I believe it is.. I am using a Kaiser rom by -G- that did not come with it preinstalled so I Was able to choose my interface & set it up myself using the v22 m2d instead of the v18 that most of the roms still contain.. I Dont think you even need to flash your rom to add m2d if you just install the cabs, someone will correct me if I am wrong, but I believe manilla2d is just a kick anus today screen plug in..
Hi,
Ive got a xperia and want to flash it with a cooked rom. there so many roms here, from so many developers. I dont get them all and am confused.
how many different developers do this portal have? and are all compatible with different language packages?
what is now the latest and most stable german rom?
thanks in advance
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=532400
lookie - lookie
the last and the fast - I know only 3 or 4 german rom cookers for WM6.5.
Is this so difficult, to test this roms ?
my advice would be http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=513764
thread title says 3.3.3, latest should be 3.3.4.
it´s just win 6.1 with touchflo, and everything included just works.
i never had to soft reset my phone because of freezes or something like that since using this rom.
definitively worth trying.
If you don't like the handling of WM 6.5, like me, I just can't get used to it, there is also a ROM from chalid called cmEX 0.8, which uses WM 6.1, TouchFlo and some SW is uninstallable as well.
My favorite one I'm using now for about 3 months.

i wont ercommend this version because there no way to deactivate the t9 crap (wort vorschlagen) feature. deactivating it in the menu doesnt work and thus its kinda impossible to type sms or search something in the internet.
The creator of the ROM provides CAB to deactivate T9. Just download and install, works fine her

I am using HTC Touch Diamond2 Topaz and I am very new to Windows Mobile world. I am just confused with what is manila/sense? Why it's required and how to download it for HTC Toudg Diamond2 model?
Sorry..if it's very basic question..?
My ROM version: 2.17.707.1 (68613) WWE.
I have updated to WM 6.5.
In Device information, i don't find the Manila version. Whether I need to download it and install.
Touchflo 3D, the user interface, is also known as Manila.
Sense is described as 'a user experience' based on Touchflo 3D. It's the 'extra' bits, that personalise the phone if you like. It's supposed to make the UI seamless and intuitive.
Hope that helps.
Thanks for your quick reply.
I don't find the manila version in my HTC Toudh Diamond2 and only ROM version. How to install manila and what is the latest version is suitable for HTC diamond 2 WM 6.5 model?
To clarify, TF3D is now known as 'Sense' in the newer versions. You have Sense 2.1. There are Sense 2.5 versions out there but to use them you would need to update your ROM to a custom one that has it built in.
Hope this is clearer.
Thanks DirkGently1.
And one more query on this.
So by default/WM 6.5 has Sense 2.1. If I want to upgrade it to Sense 2.5, i need to update the ROM, so that the softwares installed so far will be deleted. Am I right? or Sense 2.5 will be in CAB and install it and do a soft reset will do?
How/where can I see the sense version in my HTC Touch Dimaond2?
Where can get the SENSE 2.5 version? for htc offical website.. any help..on this

You won't see the Sense version, but the manila version will tell you if its sense 2.1 or 2.5. If you read up on both, you will see the differences and know which you are on.
There may be a cab installation of a newer manila w/Sense 2.5, however it is recommended to be cooked into the ROM, therefore flashing a custom ROM is your best option.
Make sure you thoroughly read the flashing guide and understand everything.
Ask in that thread if you have any questions about it. Its all quite simple, just make sure you HARDSPL first, or you have an expensive paperweight.
Enjoy, and I guarentee that you'll be happier than what you get out off the box with these devices.
Thanks for your help bruce.

Yes, sense 2.5 has been ported over from the HTC Leo. HTC has not released sense 2.5 on the TD2 AFAIK. Therefore your official stock ROMs are all 2.1.
First read the very first thread under Topaz General- "flashing giuide- start here" thanks to Drag-on.
This will tell you about HOW to flash and all of the necessary steps.
To find a cooked ROM, go to the ROM developement section. Most threads there are ROM threads by various chefs. Even though it may be hundreds of pages in length, it is very impotant to read the first 5 posts which are usually bug reports and fixes, etc. the read at least the last 5 paged of posts to see what the current bugs are.
I am quite pleased with the ROM listed in my signature (which is a clickable link), that is a WM6.5 w/ Sense 2.1.
Hope this helps. Happy flashing.
here is the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=585457
hope that helps (in there, there is another link which will take you to your first flashing steps)

I am using the Windows Mobile for the first time and using it for about 1 month. I am jsut learning on how to improvise my phone look and feel and performance..any new application to try it out.
By going thru' the beginners guide, I got some idea but still want to confirm it what I thinking is right/wrong? Anyway, some of the users from this thread are helping me by answering queries. Gradually, I will know all the technical terminology and will rock with the cooked rom.
Hello everyone in the Blackstone thread.
Since I bought my Touch HD I always wanted the defice to perform as best as possible. During the last year I have tried many many ROMs and I have to say - none was bugfree (found one almost perfect - for me . Some bugs could be easily left forgotten as these weren't anyhow cruical.
But some were just heavily noticeable. These were from the WM6.5 world - generally.
After starting to look on the stability and performace, I have realized WM6.1 is still the best system for Touch HD - very fast, no unneeded options, great response.
I am looking right now for the latest WM6.1 ROM with latest HTC Sense 2.1. Or preferably for someone who is still cooking in WM6.1 world for Touch HD. Unfortunately I cannot find one (Dutty's v4.3 FINAL is a little bit outdated, and that's the latest one I have found ;/ ).
Anyone knows about such person?
If not I am going to try my best to cook such ROM, so I would appreciate any comments if there would be anyone interested and/or anyone willing to help me to reach the point. I am avaliable to spend as much time as possible to get this done.
Please leave a comment if you find this interesting for you.

i know raptordin is doing that
w6.1 whit sense2.1
he said he is almost finished
so wait a little more he will post his rom
Look at the Topix thread, Kwbr has been cooking 6.1 roms for quite some time. His 3.1.2 rom is supposedly bugfree!
I'm not sure if he's gonna update it anytime soon though.
I have to agree after months of rom flashing with manila 2.5. wm6.5 and 6.5.1...I did an official rom flash and had a play with the old 6.1 and wow it was fast and highly responsive.
so yes I would also be interested in a 6.1 kitchen with manila 2.1
where do we find one
btw almost forgot
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=547278
it is discontineud and dont know where it is to the things from now but its 6.1 whit sense2.5
its sayd its usable for every day you could always test till the 6.1 whit 2.1 is out
Sorry, don't want Sense 2.5 (very slow on HD), only 2.1 - it's enough for me.
But thanks for recommendation
i think the final version of topix wm6.1 is what youre looking for.

Sorry but KWBR will not be updating his 6.1 version anymore he has moved to 6.5 and has sold his HD.
I constantly keep coming back to this KWBR 3.1.2 rom
So fast, so reliable and so much more suited to our Touch HD's
I can simply use my device as it was intended, quickly take a picture, quickly review it, phone works, sms sends, review ballistically fast, all software just runs, soft reset is extremely fast, wifi connects without fail, background all tabs is simple, loads of themes....
But occasionally I miss the glossy Manila 2.5 with all its fluffy weather animations, but not a lot
If I could find a Kitchen for the latest 6.1 I would start learning to chef myself
here is a kitchen with WM 6.1 and Sense 2.1

OK, it seems I am going to build my own ROM. I would like to try to use some cooked ROMs as the base and continue from this point. Anyone knows how to proceed?
I have downloaded few kitchens already (jCEspi's, Ervius, osKitchen, PPCkitchen...) but having problems to use them properly. I haven't found any detailed howto yet, only some basics from the thread or attached readme files. So far "try-fail" style doesn't get me anywhere.
I would appreciate any help with some good howtos.

It maybe of help in getting started. Not sure if it contains a 6.1 Kitchen but Kwbr has compiled what would appear to be a great tutorial on how to cook.
kwbr tutorial isn't needed.
Basically all that is needed to cook - decompile ROM and compile it back (imgfstools, search in dev&hhack).
Kitchens is sometimes more pain than help for novice cook.
Cool, will get through these, thanks.
Hello people! I wish to install a Windows Mobile 6.5 rom on my HD. But have failed to find any stock ROM for the HD. i want to install only stock. Has there never been a release of WM 6.5 by HTC for the HD? Will there ever be?

There's no Stock WM6.5 for Touch HD. WM6.5 ROM in this xda is non official ROM. if you want stock ROM, please install WM6.1 for HD. it is official released by HTC
That is sad. But then if I have to install a custom 6.5 rom, wont that make my device unstable? Would it make it slower than now? Custom roms arent stable enough is what I know.

it's not a stability problem!
even WM 6.1 custom non official ROMs are stabler and speeder than WM 6.5 ones...
it's a kernel problem!!
The one used in WM 6.5 custom ROMs is unofficial...and not made by HTC...and that's what made WM 6.5 a little bit slower than WM 6.1...
but (expecially COM2 builds) are stable as well as WM 6.1...just slower (not dued to cooker inexperience but) because HTC didn't develop a 6.5 kernel for our blackstone...
Thanks Kenia for this wonderful rom uv made. I am going through your forum pages currently reading about your rom. It really is awesome work!
By the way, is there a way to install titanium screen and WM 6.5 lock screen on top of stock 6.1 rom?
nope, for titanium and the new lockscreen you will have to install WM 6.5.
There might be some WM 6.5 lockscreen look-a-likes for WM 6.1, but as far as i know it's not possible to have titanium on wm 6.1. Technically it is possible, but a lot of things would have to be modded (which is a looooooot of work) in order to get it to work on WM 6.1

Titanium requires some stuff from system core of WM 6.5...just like the honeycomb start menu...
so it's impossible to port it...
as regards the lockscreen you can have it through the marvelous Co0kie's Home Tab which ebodies this feature...
and you can choose between WM 6.5, HD Mini and iphone-like lockscreen...
Anyway thanks to all for the compliments..

You should try Miniterrors Ravage ROM it's in dutch or in WWE.
It is the fastest STOCK 6.5 rom out here on XDA.
You should download the WWE Clean without (or with) HTC Messaging.
It's fast, low battery drainage and it is stock!
Hope it helps!

please flash first n let us know the feedback. you cannot ask anybody to act on behalf of you. different person, different opinion. try Cloudy 1.9 with or without HTC Messaging... it works perfect for me.
I never presumed anyone to act on my behalf. Because I am only asking for opinions from experts who have run it before on their Blackstones. I have never flashed a custom rom hence probably just a little apprehensive.

There are a lots of roms here, the best way to find what you want its to try, use another phone and take a week to try the diferent roms around here.
If we all like the same, we didn't have a lot of roms around here, see what roms have good feedback, see if you like the style or the coocked app in it and flash.
A stable coocked rom its allways better then stock.
