Opal Query regarding ROM, WM6.5 & Manila

Hi Guys,
Being reading this forum for a long time but am still a bit stuck.
Am using HTC Touch ViVa (HTC Opena/HTC T2223) currently with its original WM6.1.
1) I plan to flash to WM6.5 but am totaly confused as to which is the completely working version. Is it V13 or V16 or should I wait for V17?
2) What basically is Manila2D/Manila3D? Which version does Opal has & which would you recommend to install?
3) Can all the themes listed in the "development & hacking" be installed on Opal after/without flashing?
thanks for the replies ppl

Hi first I change my rom with 6.5 v16, now I'm looking for a wm 6.1 original rom and I can't find one. My advice is to stick with your wm original rom version. If you can make a copy of it please post the rom on the site i will be very happy if you can do that.

Hi,
Congratulations on your Viva, hope it's working well for you.
1) I'm not into beta flashing, and AFAIK the WM6.5 version is a hacked beta version of the OS, so I don't recommend installing it. Maybe if we wait for the original version to be released by MS, HTC will offer it as a free upgrade.
2) Manila 2D (the one that comes with the Viva) uses tabs instead of a 3D cube (used in Manila 3D on other devices).
M2D is basically a simpler and faster version of M3D, which suits the slower processor of the Viva.
3) I know they can be installed on the original ROM, you should first install and download the M2D Customizer. This program will enable you to skin the M2D on your device, and tweak some of its settings. WM6.5 requires another form of skins, so I think the skins in Development and Hacking are not compatible.
Hope this helps.
Good luck!

thx guys...well I don't suppose the HTC would give away a free upgrade to WM6.5 as they said in engadgets...

I'm not sure about anything, I was just speculating.
Upgrade or hacked, I'm not installing any WM 6.5 ROM until it is officially released by Microsoft.

I undestand. Do you now when is scheduled the official release from Microsoft? I didn't found anything about a date..

Maybe sometime in the 3rd quarter, as stated in the following article:

If you look at itje's ROM, my ROM and Ark's ROM we have everything working on all areas or we are just putting the finishing touches on it. All based on official 6.5 ROM

but you can't share it right?

Can anyone confirm if the HTC official WM6.5 ROM for TP2 comes with TellMe software installed as standard?, also do any of the cooks have in in .cab form for WM6.1?
It looks absolutely brilliant but it's probably the only thing I can see that makes upgrading worthwile for me... if there is a .cab file it will save me hell of a lot of hassle ;-)
Thanks guys, everyone's doing a great job on here!!

RUU_Rhodium_S_HTC_Europe_09.06.24.1038_Radio_Rhodium_3.46.25.18_Signed_80331.exe
3.46.25.18 in official HTC 6.5 ROM? when there is already 3.46.25.30 update fr 6.1 from their web?

That's the old 6.5 test rom that has been floating around since mid-august. It's a nice and stable rom but with TF2.1 only.

I think HTC won't give us TF2.5 :-(

I think the offical wm 6.5 is releasing tomorrow right
thats whats been said all over oct 6th launch

Any news on official HTC release yet for wm6.5?

I just checked the offical windows mobile website
It says for the HTC Touch Pro 2 : Release Date yet not available
Since today was the BIG day as per the offical announcements they should have released the offical windows mobile 6.5
But till now no news on the windows website ...

The new official HTC's ROM is available right now for TP2 here : http://www.htc.com/fr/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=689&news_id=272 but still needed a serial of non-branded phone. Can anyone download the ROM and put it here, on XDA ? thx !

This ROM was released on 2009-10-01, so this can't be the 'new' ROM with WinMo 6.5 right?

@lancelot54: its not 6.5 - its still 6.1 I guess. Look at the date.

I have got the non-branded one but it does not accept neither my SN or IMEI.

People are right. This rom is out of date. The latest french official rom on the site is 1.19.406.1, whereas this is 1.19.73.5 and seems to be older !!!

It is fast and stable. I try most of the cooked and beta 6.5 rom here. Got a lot of drop calls or sometime the screen froze. I had to do soft reset to have it rom running again.

no its not manila 2.5 its manila 2.1 with weather clock...
but very stable and everything working fine including video call, landscape mode, update mylocation thru 3G/HSDPA. all working fine and stable.
this is official ROM for each region. if your region rom not out yet, u need to use Hardspl to use other official region rom. if not u will meet the 'invalid vendor id problem'.

Can't download
I was going to download official 6.5 rom from HTC norwegian pages, entering serial number tell me that the download is not for my unit. I have a generic version, not a version with operator software.

This new official ROM took out so much memory. 73-81% used. Not cool!
Using Unlocked UK ROM.

i tried to upgrade my touch pro 2.. for the HTC site and i was told 'Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device'.. i got mine from canada unlocked its a telus branded fone.. plz can someone show me how to upgrade...

Update? 2.1 thats old stuff

Manila 2.1. That is great as I don't like the Manila 2.5 Home screen. Too crowded and visually not pleasing to me.
However, I do like the HTC Twitter tab at Manila 2.5. Any chance where we can have the HTC Twiiter tab as a cab file to be used on Manila 2.1?

Is this a WWE upgrade? Not sure what RUU means.

please help me to get the official ROM for htc HD

hi
Please help me to get the official ROM for htc HD any build (28008 or 28009 or 28014, because this ROM included the arabic.
Thanks

All official roms here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blackstone_Ship_exe
There are no Official WM6.5 roms for the HD, yet.

As stated above, follow link for stock roms. HTC have stated that wm6.5 will not be released for the HD, so I'm not sure what official rom your talking about

HD Official ROM WM 6.5

do you have any idea how to crack the official rom from htc This software is suitable for the following devices : HTC Touch HD
ROM upgrade(WM6.5) for HTC Touch Pro2 ROM version: 1.86.401.1
This rom from htc webiste Eupore

It's a typo on the site. Sorry.

Yeah, unfortunately its a typo so not actually available for the HD
