was just wondering if HTC is planning to release a new ROM update for the Diamond?? does any one know?
Mmmm...
New ROM, as in new ROM - or new ROM as in upgrade? My guess is, they may release more ROM's to bug-fix, but if you're waiting for 6.5, don't hold your breath! NOT A CHANCE!!
well, the Rom upgrades are also good especially if they upgrade the TF3D to the one on the Diamond 2, would be nice!
regarding the upgrade to 6.5, i wouldnt exclude that option completely, in 2008, when the WM 6.0 was released, HTC did provide an upgrade to WM 6.0 for the devices running WM 5.0 at that time, not all tho! u can check it out here: http://www.htc.com/uk/support/bulletin.html
cheers!
Mmmm...
As I've said before, if we get any kind of upgrade to anything from the Touch Diamond 2 or WM6.5 from HTC, I'll eat my device and post the video on YouTube for all to see! Thank goodness for all the top chefs here at XDA - who needs HTC when we've already got Diamond 2 ROM's and 6.5 ROM's

I wish someone could strip the new WM 6.1 Pro rom and create one for the herald, wing, etc. I am not smart enough to know how to do this, but there are plenty of people here who could accomplish this. Here are the links:
Sprint Mogul ROM:

And Diamond:

DO NOT FLASH THESE TO YOUR HERALD, WING OR P4350 THEY ARE NOT FOR THESE DEVICES!!!

please write down which OS CE version and Build number....
The mogul is NOT a herald device. Anyone thinking of flashing this into their Heralds, do NOT do so.
As far as stripping goes, the hard part is testing... we can't test it without a Mogul ourselves.
I have xv6800 and t-mobile wing. If you want me to test i can.
The base is wm 6.1...
My thought, Ivan, was that someone could get the base wm 6.1 os and adapt it for the Wing. Since this is the first WM Pro 6.1 RUU that I have seen. I have seen no WM Pro OS versions that show the functionality that the WM Standard (Smartphone) version shows...I also have a t-mobile Dash (Excaliber) and I got a hold of the new 6.1 rom and flashed it on....It is awesome functionality from the Today screen. Anyway, it would be great to have that same functionality in the Pro version...like we've seen in the photos of the Diamond.
Hey did any of ya get that diamond rom to work on your phone? I got the wing and its giving me a error about the image.
It's not a Wing/Herald ROM. Like I said, do NOT try to flash it.
o ok, I want to get a diamond rom on my phone is there one out there ?
Released ROMs? I think only pappamopp's and that's newer than the diamond ROM, but not from a diamond itself.
I have a diamond port currently on my cellphone but that's not ready for release, yet.
You won't get all the diamond features, all you will get is the newer build of windows mobile 6.1.
ok well how can i get something on my phone that looks like the diamond? when are you going to releaseport?

The diamond TouchFLO3D requires 3d hardware acceleration. What you can do is download throttleLauncher and the TouchFLO3D theme. It's not perfect, but it gives you the looks.
Oh ok i might try that. Ivanmmj u have aim?
Yes. PM me. I don't like giving it out in the open... I'd be spammed day and night...
I know WM 6.5 is officially being release in September, is it worth waiting or trying the manual upgrade?
I have a Diamond 2 with WM 6.1 currently...
You'll get a better response from the Touch Diamond 2 section of the forum..
Anyway to answer the question, WinMo 6.5 is not fully stable yet (as far as I'm aware) but I find it stable enough for day to day use. There are some memory issues but Im sure that Diamond 2 had more memory so that should not be an issue.
if i were you i'd update to the Hero UI Tochflo 2.6 ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=524224
So, now 6.5 is officially released, when are we going to get a proper base 6.5 ROM for our Jades? Come on, there's got to be a genius out there.
I guess all the chefs are waiting for an official HTC 6.5 final ROM dump. I mean that's what i would do, if i were a chef.
Really excited about it.Hope something will come up soon.
When is HTC likely to release an official 6.5 rom for this device?
hi
to my knowledge not now we need to wait for one of ur cooks to use one of the released Roms and cook a good bug free one for us

I asked HTC support a few weeks ago and they replied to me that they won't release a official 6.5 ROM for the Touch 3G. I guess they prefer to sell the Touch2 instead.

Apparently, the Touch 2 will be quite cheap in SEAsia, somewhere between the Opal and Jade. This with increased memory but same processor and same camera as Jade.
yeah i looked at a touch2 ...however the battery is only 1000amh....compared to our Touch 3G's 1100amh
Asked in HTC
I too asked in HTC support.
They told it would take some time for them to release the upgrade for our wonderful jade.
They told to visit HTC site regularly to know about the release.
Waiting for the upgrade.

Means that WinMo 6.5 will be officialy released for our Jade !?
OMG, can't believe it !
I very much doubt there will be an official 6.5 update. Look at it from HTC's point of view, there's just no financial reason to do it.
hi
u nailed it buddy im 100% with u but then we have great cooks so im sure well get a good clean bug free ROM soon

It's hard to figure out HTC's marketing strategy. They introduce a newer version of a product with the same or sometimes inferior features. Take the Touch cruise 2, for instance. The older one had a better camera. The screen of the Opal is lowered and that makes it hard to reach the close button. As for the official upgrade, the word out is it will only be for the diamond 2 and touch pro 2. But when it comes to hotfixes, jade comes in first with practically none= no major issues to fix.
I too have asked HTC support about WM6.5 and have gotten the same answer - no WM6.5 for the Jade. But i asked them some 3 weeks ago, or more. Things may have changed in the mean time.

I thought 21854 is the official release. My future release features 21859 so is a bit newer than the official . I solved a problem it had with office, my mistake after all. So the in the new megade wm 6.5 will have as much bugs as the official release. (maybe a bit less/more)
If u look at the specs of the Touch2, it's very clear it's just an upgrade on Jade. Apart from the improbable stuff like RAM and ROM. the rest are nearly a match. some of the features that jade lacks, just a couple of registry tweaks and shortcut assigned keys..and you're on the GO! Save $$$...and a prettier phone. LOL

More than a long shot I would say, since allowing Jade owners to update 6.5 would mean they would not have an incentive to upgrade to Touch 2. Phones like ours requires a lot of thought at the beginning and more user friendly phones like Nokia are hard to beat. Believe me, I've tried to convert quite a few people!

This was already expected that the HD wouldn't be getting a free update to wm6.5. To be honest I'm not too bothered as most chef's already have fairly smooth wm6.5 roms anyhow

I wouldn't let this put you off buying another HTC device, my next device will still almost definately be a HTC one.
For me next will be TOUCH HD 2 a'ka Leo!!! For Roms - very good last form Hellonasty and Miri, wait from PhamQuang and another chefs.
It's not coming
i thought it has been confirmed that Windows Mobile 6.5 is not coming to Touch HD...
Read this.
yep, it has always been said that touch hd would not receive wm 6.5 official rom.
anyway, chefs provide better roms than the official ones, so for me there's no difference if htc provides official rom or not.
I AGREE when i buy my HTC with stock Wm 6.1 Was very Buggy and Slow untill i start to flashing with coocked ROM`s so its not a problem for me do we have Official ROM or not always we will be UPDATET because we have good comunity here no matter from the HTC support when WM 7 Release Again here we will have some Amazing Cocked ROM so sometimes i think that some of the Coocked ROM`s are better than the STOCK one.
Personally I feel this has been discussed enough beforehand and on this thread. For these reasons I am closing this thread. Any objections, please PM me with your reasons
Hi everyone,
I have a T-Mobile TP2 and have been torn on whether or not to upgrade to 6.5 for some time now. Well I finally decided to go for it, but then came across the official unbranded HTC rom.
My question is (dealing only with official release updates from tmobile and htc):
Who has upgraded to both branded and unbranded and can relay pros and cons of both compared to 6.1 and each other? Or has anyone heard enough about both, or can give me any relevant information?
Also, do I need to HardSPL in order to flash the HTC rom?
I'd really like to lose all the bloatware and sh!tty splash screen and everything else t-mo, but I don't know if there is any clear-cut advantage to doing so.
Also, if I am completely daft and missed a similar pre-existing thread, please inform me of my mistake. Same goes if I posted in the wrong section, this is my first post in evar.
THANKS!!!
Put Hardspl on your phone and you can test yourself You can always go back to the 6.1 rom.
is there a stock manila 2.5 ROM offered by t-mo?
if not, 2.5 + CHT is definately worth using the HTC ROM.
I would not mess with Sense 2.5 unless it is cooked. You need a lot of tweaks to make it run smoothly on the TP2, especially in HTC messaging. I am using a cooked version of the T-Mobile stock rom with Sense 2.1, has been the best and most stable rom for me yet. Sense 2.5 is good if you don't mind giving up some performance for new features. Sense 2.1 is what our devices run best with. Hope this helps you decide.
EDIT: In comparison to WinMo 6.1 with TF3D, upgrading to 6.5 with Sense2.1 will in my opinion make the device run smoother. 6.1 is a very solid OS and works well with TouchFlo to make scrolling much easier. However, I say if you can upgrade the device to 6.5 without losing performance go for it because it is much better integrated than TouchFlo, making the touch experience much better. Through my testing, the TP2 functions best with WinMo 6.5 with Sense2.1. The newer WinMo builds are probably better off using on the HD2 and other high performance devices. Same thing with Sense2.5, it can run smoothly but you will be giving up some speed as well as memory and battery life. I have come to terms with my phone, lol... Nothing beyond Sense2.1 and WM6.5 from now on. But you have to test on your own to see which you like better. Good luck!
I've been cooking own ROM for a few weeks now, and it's a T-Mobile no frills ROM.
It's not quite finished, but it's very stable and the battery life is excellent. I could always use another tester if you're interested.

You would have to hard SPL to use the HTC ROM.
The Official WM 6.5 is a sense 2.1 version, but you would not need to hard SPL.
Thanks for all of your help!
I'm still not sure what i'll do for now, but i'll probably end up just biting the bullet and becoming an addict. I'll start with the official sh!t and gateway into flashing every stable rom that exists lol.
