People who have enjoyed my Tilt and Fuze ROMs in the past/present, have asked that I continue to release GSM-based ROMs for the Rhodium, even though I have switched to Verizon Wireless.
Now that the Tilt2 is out, and I have the shipped ROM to work with (thanks herg62123), my first release is probably around 1 week away. The purpose of this thread in it's current state is to ask for volunteers to test a couple pre-release versions since I am not able to. Eventually, once some funds free up, I will purchase a GSM Touch Pro2 (AT&T/T-Mobile/Unbranded) for future hands on testing.
Initially, there will be 4 varieties released.
AT&T Shipped (-bloat)
HTC Shipped (-bloat)
AT&T WM6.5 23xxx OS
HTC WM6.5 23xxx OS
Of course I underestimated the sheer size of this task when sitting here without a GSM device to test with, but I'm making steady progress.
v0.1: First release to a handful of testers.
v0.2: First release to anyone willing to test the ROM and assist with finding bugs.
I don't have a changelog ready yet, so I ask that you poke around and see how everything looks. Hopefully I figured out the installation of CAB files on first boot. If you do not have a 4x6 WM Start Menu after flashing, then I haven't yet.
Download Links:
LINK REMOVED (CFC Compression)
v0.2 Test (No CFC)
Password: "NATF Test - Do NOT Distribute" (no quotes)
The second link is just in case I broke Manila when I ran CFC compression.
-Edit- Yep, CFC broke Manila. Though I'm sure it's something I did, not the program.

Hi,
Is it available on-line? I couldn't find it
Testing...
Looks like you have a few testers already, but I'd be more than happy to help test. (Tmobile)
I will be getting mine Sunday, I have been very happy with your original tilt ROM, and would be happy to help out testing of your Tilt 2 ROM.

I can hardly wait....something to look forward too, or should I say something to keep me from doing my Algebra homework!!!!!!!!
Open Touch v3.0 SlimLine Beta 1
Folks,
The beta 1 version has been sent to the beta team and they will be testing it shortly. I'm going to wait until Monday to release the final since I want to insure that there are fewer issues then the last release.
Sorry for the wait,
i'm definitely awaiting this release. comm manager and no repeating alarm clock were my only issues with the 2.7 release. extra speed from wm 6.1 sounds a little too enticing.
edit...
i know this may not be the best place for requests, but is there anyway to include the tmobile today screen plugin? i really like how it shows the wifi and bluetooth status really clean and simple on the today screen. even an install cab would be awesome.

If possible - when you make a slimeline version again. Could you include a cab for the CUBE that you may exclude from that version. I am using slimeline 2.7 cube right now and its pretty SWEET! Thanks
Duc
Ver. 2.7 is awesome so I cant wait to see what 3.0 will bring with WM 6.1. Hopefully we'll have a slim line version with TouchFlo and Cube. Thanks ttran for all your great work!

cant wait to see what 3.0 has to offer though.
Hello all!
Please excuse me if this has been told already, i know alot of winmo 6.5 threads floating but i haven't had a chance to surf around since i've been moving and my internet won't be up till the end of the month (bastards!)
I was at an event at work today, there was a microsoft rep that had a raphael with winmo 6.5 fully working..
Seems to be pretty slick from playing with it for about 20-30 minutes
I know the touch pro 2 will be shipping with this pre-installed.
Black bars seem to be installed, the main screen offers features of an "overview" style and when you hit the windows button you get the honeycomb that i'm sure you've seen screenshots of. I'm asking to see if they can swing me the beta copy but i know it is only internally microsoft.
Wanted to confirm that winmo 6.5 for raphael and TP2 will be available!
Once again- sorry if this has been covered already.
Yeah... There are WM6.5 roms and kitchens you can download for the Touch Pro. Been out for a while now
I'm waiting for the final release, I just can't take the risk of running beta OS on my phone (Even if it is WinMo 6.5)
Yeah sorry like i said, haven't been given access to internet and xda for a while - saw it today as an official release for raphael beta tested by them.
My fault!
you totally should of "barrowed" his phone and ripped the os off and uploaded it... would of made it a lot easier to port haha
That's interesting to hear that Microsoft has 6.5 working on the Raphael without the need of xda developers. I thought an official 6.5 ROM from Microsoft wasn't going to be released for the TP1?
the latest build 21189 is very much considered stable. i haven;t found any fault with them after running for a week with all my daily applications like GPS,Wifi or bluetooth. camera is usable and even the 7MPX panaroma hack for tp camera works. although tf3d is not stable on it, u'll grow to love the new chome platform of the new wm6.5...to be honest, i won;t think of going back to tf3d.
According to this article at engadget, phones currently on the market (as of Feb 16) will not get an official 6.5 update:
http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/16/microsoft-announces-windows-mobile-6-5/
That's cool you got your hands on a WM6.5 raphael though, hope they do decide to release it!
i have 6.5 on mine. i dont really consider it beta since it doesnt say beta. i think its more early build. there are really recent builds of 6.1 and i dont think you can tack labels like beta or final or release candidate on them because they are not pay for or anything and they are constantly having newer versions. it may not be announced or preloaded on new phones yet but its here, has all the features, and its quite stable.

SO SEXY! 6.5 on the fuze at&t version of touch pro
glad there is FINALLY a way to lockdown your text messages so someone can't just view them when they pick up the phone....schwweeet!!!
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!
Well wm 6.5 release 2 days ago. Anyone get their hand on the final release where there isn't any bugs?
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/meet/wm65-upgrade.mspx#phoneList i don't know if anyone has gotten it
Samsung released it for the Omnia 2 (in The Netherlands) and T-Mobile Germany for the MDA Vario V.

Maybe you don't understand. Official release means that it is available for phone manufacturers - not for you and me to download and install on our phones.
nope! I don't agree...Official is out so should the cook might get their hands on it. Also Official update is out, that mean the provider such as tmobile would let you upgrade your TP2, but at the moment tmobile US has no upgrade...I really don't care I think enrgyRoM would beat any upgrade or whatever....but if the official is out, this would allow the cook add their own twicks and tricks.
Well, I got it and I must say it's awesome for shipped Rom. Didn't notice any bug and I've never seen such a fast stock Rom. Speed is as it should be. Only annoying thing is the branding.

Just install a custom ROM, they are far better than stock ROM!
Rotastrian has got a Manila 2.5 landscape hack functioning
http://htcpedia.com/forum/showthread.php?t=631&page=5
can someone please see if this can be ported to the TP2 (I can't think why it could not be done).
If it gets done I'll be sending $$ your way (and to Rotastrian as well)
NOTE!
For noobs, DO NOT TRY AND FLASH THE ROM IN THE LINK TO YOUR TOUCH PRO 2/TILT2, it will BRICK YOUR PHONE. This is just a heads up/request thread for the devs.
Also if you want to pledge $ towards a bounty just list the $ in your post.
I'm in for
$15 to Rotastrain and $15 to the guy that gets it working on TP2
Let me see
I will see what i can do...
Well doesnt this mean that the build he created can just be torn down back to the basics and replaced in any other rom? I dont know much about cooking, but from messing with the few kitchens that I have played with it seems that anything that is in one rom could be placed into another.....
Im sure we will be seeing alot of peoples 2.5 roms starting to have working landscape. But by all means donate to these fine folks who dedicate so much time for all of us.
Will the sms and mms be fixed too? I cant seem to find a ROM where they both work flawlessly with 2.5 stuff!

It seem like we are not far away from total M2.5 landscape support ... great new.
Like ai6908 said. If we could just get the sms & mms to work properly, I would never go back to 2.1. Then with landscape working also, that would be the icing on the cake.
No progress, still? :|
progress is here,.,,
