HI Everyone,
I tried a lot of wm6.5 ROMs and half of them has an issue:
NO finger scrolling/sliding inside the documents and txt files.
Menus, contatcs, TotalCMD is working fine just inside the opened files had this problem.
Any idea how can we solve this or this is a beta wm6.5 issue? However we have here some WM6.5 ROM with this feature... oh one more thing, it seems this issue exist on other models also not just on Xperia.

Not sure if I'm in the right forum for this. I was wondering if my 6.1 software will work on my Touch Pro with a 6.5 ROM. I've had some problems with TFDetacher so I lost it and a slight problem with WKTask, though it's functional and it's only an aesthetic problem. Was wondering if anyone knows about this or if you can post any program you've found that doesn't work. Maybe make a list. Searched but found nothing on this. Thanks for any info.

I havent faced any problems with any programs till now. I would say go ahead and install the apps and if there is any issue check the forums or raise a question. But i think you should be fine.
I know WKTask (or one of the task managers) has issues with WM6.5.
I've installed all of the same programs I used on WM6.1 and haven't had a problem with any of them.
Some apps don't use the WM6.5 native scrolling, so if something requires TouchFlo to scroll, the scrolling might not work, but the app should still work.
Trial and error it is. I've had some problems with WKTask, too. Black box in the upper right hand corner and I think it was causing my start menu not work. This thread can be closed. Thanks for the info.
Hello,
I'm running topix 2.5 (however my guess will be that all roms with the new manila will have this problem). The problem is that I want to revert to the standard WM dialer so I can use PocketShield "better" again.
With the old manila it was no problem to turn on this dialer but now it does not show any information anymore. You can see that on the screen capture below. The lines are empty, but the links still work, so only the callers name is not shown. Do not mind the colors, I just applied a skin in the hope it works again.
Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks!

As for as I know, there would be NO WAY !!!
And I think this is not because of the New Manila but the Phone Canvas (Topaz, Rhodium).
Why would there be no way?
If it's the phone canvas as you suggest.. This is just a package right, so somehow it should be possible to remove this package...
Still hoping to find a fix in the near future...!

Yes, at least no way at the moment until this is to be done by HTC. This issue has been discussed many times in Miri's ROM Thread. Hopefully it will be fixed in near future
Ive got some manila 2.5 packages(ones with hero clock) but when using them, the clock is covered in the top left corner and the slider is missing. Could someone please tell me how to fix this problem, I think the problem is in initflashfiles.dat because the packages come with a text file that tells you to copy the text into the initflashfiles.dat. If I leave out the text from initflashfiles.dat, manila wont boot. I also heard of someone having this problem on a cooked rom after restoring a backed up registry, it was posted here.
Maybe a stupid hint, but looks like the magnifier. Maybe that's the problem.

Thanks i'll try that.
Disabling the magnifier didn't work, anyone got any other suggestions.
I was just wondering where to get those packages? I am also looking for them. Thanks.
Anyone else having this problem? Here's the text file that contains what im told to add to initflashfiles.dat.
Any chance you have manila weather set to auto update?
Try unchecking "Download Weather Automatically" and soft reset.
Thanks i'll give that a go
Edit: Didn't work
Looking forward to the new rom. Does anyon have a fix for this?
Were you able to solve this? Thanks.
No, still not fixed
The fix is quite easy (when you know it ).
You'll have to use the OperatorPkg from the Leo OEM.
Include it, cook and the problem is gone. Only copying the files HTCSMCust_480x800 and HTCSMCust_800x480 didn't help me.
You'll notice that you'll then get 3 Rows Start Menu, not 4.
I didn't have to use the OperatorPkg. It was one of the Leo OEMs but I am not sure which one.
Take this one (EXT Package).
Thanks I'll Try It.
Hi, you don't need the operatorpkg. I am using the original one from R3A and have no problem getting the full manila 2.5 working. The problem you have is from a missing pkg. I had the same issue and cooked some more pkgs from leo.
You can check the chefs develop & share center sticky thread for the lines you need in initfiles.dat or put in a manila folder's app.dat (Linky). The one you have is incomplete. Notice there are some extra spaces at various places in the file names so make sure you correct them before throwing them in. I didn't pay attention and just pasted w/o correction, and Manila was crippled, with some menus/settings not showing up.
I believe I cooked almost every pkg from leo (the leo ext pkg with manila build 1918), except like runcc, camera, connectionsetup, menu enhancement (not req'd), google maps, etc. Don't forget to recmod the modules. I recmod everything in leo pkg. Good luck.
Thanks, hopefully have it working soon

No, No, that was not the point I was talking about. The fix you mean is to get Manila 2.5 starting at all. I was refering to the issue that you have when using a non-3-row start menu. Then you won't get the AppLaunchers at the bottom of the Home Screen.
But good comment, though, to make this clear.
The lines posted in the X1 chef's thread need some fix. You need to remove some spaces to get it working properly. You'll soon notice if you take a closer look to you initflashfiles.dat after inserting.
Hi,
i have bought a German Vodafone branded Touch Diamond 2. But i have some questions:
- There is a built-in G-Sensor, which can be calibrated, but it do nothing else. I can rotate the phone till my hands fall off, but nothing happens (i already tried some registry tweaks, i found in this forum)
- When i click on the Symbols in the Startmenu line e. g. the battery symbol, then it doensn't open the battery settings, but something called "notifications" (Benachrichtigungen).
- The Manila screen has wrong colors. White/red instead of black/white. How can i change it?
- How can i get the "HTC Audio Manager" to play the files in a folder? I want to listen to a audiobook, but it messes up the file order, which is pretty annoying.
Now, while i am writing this, i think about flashing a unbranded ROM could be simpler, right? But is this the solution i am looking for?

- Accelerometer: Are you attempting to use the g-sensor for anything in particular? Try loading up the game "Teeter" which relies on the accelerometer for moving the ball along a maze. There are few provided apps which require the accelerometer functionality, and Manila doesn't rotate by default.
- TouchFLO notifications is an addon provided by HTC. Search the forums for instructions on how to disable this functionality; I believe there are a couple of applications which will allow you to do this without manually editing registry keys etc.
- Red / White is Vodafone's brand. You may be able to install a replacement skin for Manila, it's up to you.
I'm afraid I don't use my Topaz for listening to music, so I can't help with your final issue.
Flashing an unbranded ROM may resolve the third issue, but the rest will more than likely remain. I don't see them being issues, though, just personal preference!
HTH.
Thanks for the answers!
The solution for the first and the second problem is this. If someone is wondering: The Topaz has a built in G sensor, but it is unused, mean's that no installed program is using this feature by default. Really strange from my point of view!
The third problem seem to be a little more difficult: M2DC say's that manila is not installed! And i wasn't able to find a Diamond II skin to download. Others are available. Maybe someone can give me a hint?
For the fourth problem i work around using a patched TCPMP, which looks a little outdated, but is my personal number one for media playback.

I think you will find that the sensor is used when you flip the phone over on an incoming call to mute the ringing!
That's why I never use branded ROMs (T-Mobile Germany)!
M2DC won't work 100% with new Manillas, never worked on branded or official ROMs for me.
Try latest original German HTC WM6.1 ROM Build 1.39.407.1.
I don't like WM6.1, so I use Tom's Leo R2 WM6.5 incl. very nice Manilla 2.5, which runs great with latest Radio, but it's English language.
I don't like branded ROM's too. But the german vodafone flash isn't availble yet - so i can't go back in case of warrenty issue.

Can anyone tell me if there is a ROM like the Energy ROMS by NRGZ28 that still have the handwriting option in the Touch screen input selector? I really like the speed and features of NRGZ28's ROM's and so far they work great but I would dearly love to have the handwriting input again as I find it hard to see without my reading glasses... Or maybe someone knows of a CAB file to download to add this option?
Thanks in advance...
Regards Ismael
For the Letter and Block Recognizer you can check out this cab file
Also for Transcriber (only for English) you can check out this cab file
Thanks for that but just in case anyone else is interested I also had to load another cab called enableRecognizers as well. Thanks a million great to have it back again.
Regards Ismael...
Well it worked for one trial. The next day I tried and it kept dropping back to Touch input. When I go to Options and select letter or block recogniser and then click options button it says the recogniser could not be loaded... I tried reinstalling but didn't help. I tried a soft reset and also turning off the phone and back on but no joy... I loaded Transcriber (didn't see it until I submitted this post) and that works. Will wait and see what happens from here...
Regards Ismael
Thankxxx is a must!!
many many thx for this cab I have been using the P990i for a 3 years and I'm still exploring this new world of Xperia since 2~3 months, the first reason I insist on buying it even though that many new models shown in the market is this great forum...
With such posts I become more and more familiar with the wonderful to tell X1..
Long lives XDA..
Hi all, as an update to this post for those that are interested. I mentioned that was using energy ROMs in my X1a, I found that if I use 23xxx roms even Transcriber wouldn't function properly. I also found that using 23xxx roms caused other issues with different apps as well. Using the 21911 Roms my X1 is quicker and the handwriting works okay. Seems that my particular X1 doesn't like 23xxx versions.
Pays to test a few different ROMs when problems arise even of the same variant or version. Also I run IGO8 and on the MaxSense ROM in landscape mode it was full screen and on Standard Energy 2/3 screen and Cookie Sense full screen also.
Regards Ismael
Just some feedback from my experience up to now.
Hi to everyone, I am tracking the topic and the issues of transcriber and letter recognizer reported. FYI I am using now Energy 23xxx Dinik Glass july 24th version and both input methods are running like a charm. Moreover they were also working great in july 10th version of the same rom and in the past while using many of valkyrie roms no issue there at all. Really I do not understand why you guys have problems with them...
