new HTC ROM expected?

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

Microsoft finalized Windows Mobile 6.5

Hi chiefs and community members!
Just wanted to let you know that Microsoft has official reached "Gold Status" with Windows Mobile 6.5:
http://winfuture.de/news,50454.html
One of the first available devices with the new OS will be the HTC HD2 (more or less an 1GHz-Touch HD) released today:
http://www.computerbase.de/news/consumer_electronics/kommunikation/2009/oktober/htc_hd2_display/
Both links redirects you to german news sites.
Maybe one or more of our chiefs can cook some cool HD2 based WM6.5 ROMs for our loved Touch HD in the near future?
Big Thanks and bye for now,
Future

I am using 6.5.1 and i am in love with it Im just hoping someone cooks the new more stable build, im so excited and will definitely buy many beers for the person who does so!

HD2!!!
I heard it was going to be HTC LEO, with the 1ghz processor and there are rumors that Microsoft will release the wm7, 5 months after the wm6.5 is officially released. I think that's gonna be a nice OS. Lets wait and see...

There are a few HTC Leo (HD2) Custom ROMS already floating around on XDA..... mostly based on 6.5.1 build 23016

i think, there should be offical roms in every language after this official release, now. isn´t it so? i´m waiting for the final version in german with the new softkeys. hope, we´ll get it, soon!!!

I think you dont know whole story m8
HTC TOUCH HD (was the first)
At the next stage of R&D they divided it in two separate devices
HTC TOUCH 2 (code name Mega)
HTC HD 2 (code name Leo) if anyone calls it HTC TOUCH HD2 it is not big deal

HTC Touch 2 is another phone!

So if the official WM6.5 is out, what build is it based on 23016 ???

So, sorry if I didn't read up much but I saw this as the LEO here, which refers to TouchProThree, so I wondered. And if Chrome's search works correctly I didn't find any keyword "leo" in all the links you all given. So, hmm. Leo surely got a mysterious identity.

WinMo 6.5

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!

Note about official wm6.5 for hd

After i asked customer service again about an official release of wm6.5 for hd they told me that it is now under testing and they have not decided yet but it may get it after all (LETS HOPE IT WILL GET IT)

this is good news, but it may only be close, similar or even the same as the ROMs we are enjoying with the Cooks here in XDA, we owe everything to them!

Yep, but maybe we could pass over that annoying freeze problem: it affects EVERY cooked ROM....

Never had freeze when i was with Vanilla Series Rhodium Port by Kwbr, used it for a week. Now on my Third day of Topix (Kwbr) 3.2. absolutely faultless ROMs.

I would disagree , some cooked are far better in terms of speed and response. But many suffer problems due to mtty problem, flashing to much, and flashing back to stock fixes this and after that you are good to go stock, so every once in a while if you are an avid flasher you should flash a stock rom to avoid your mtty to clog up and cause freezes and hickups.

+1 on that. If stock roms were better than cooked roms, this site would have shut down before it even got started. Even back in the days before cooking 6.5 roms, there where 100's of avid flashers trying to get the best out of their device.

add me to the list of those who had to flash to a STOCK ROM to correct a freezing issue. i reflashed the custom ROM 3 times and my device's issue did not go away. i flashed a STOCK ROM, 2 hard resets, then flashed the SAME custom ROM and no problems to date. oh yeah, i'll be SHOCKED if HTC creates a WM 6.5 ROM for the HD. if they were to give us one, it would be interesting to evaluate performance differences.

lol
we will never see WM6.5 from hTc. i know it's christmas, but wake up guys.

But hTC releasing a new HD rom is great news for HD owners.

dont think so
im sorry to tell u that if ur info was from htc call center then most probably its not true, i know how ppl work there they basically know nothing abt htc devices.....

no it is from htc custmer service by email are you from egypt because egypt call centre no nothing about htc

I believe
I believe you as i was speaking to a guy who works for Telstra the other day and he said that there will be a official Htc 6.5 rom for HD sometime in January in Australia.

To be honest, the day HTC officially release wm6.5 will be the day aliens make contact with earth
As for stock roms being better than cooked roms, obviously you've been trying the wrong cooked roms. I would never flash back to a stock rom for everyday use, just wouldn't happen. Cooked roms bring faster, more reliable, improved devices. The basic stock rom for the HD was a joke. After owning the Hermes, Diamond etc I was very disappointed with the stock rom and I thank all the great chefs out there for making the HD a better device!!
Also, I haven't had a freeze yet, so no need to flash back to stock....yet

I flashed back to stock because that is the fastest ROM i could find.. i tried all sorts of ROM's, Dutty's, LEO, NRG, Kwbr, Laurentius, etc.
But all were sluggish and very unresponsive. Now i have the stock ROM with Manila 1.3 and it is fast as hell..

Now that is interesting, Mind you Telstra is about as truthful as HTC.
Still it would be interesting to see what build they propose.

Sorry but I have to disagree with this statement. Stock roms have always been slower. The only times our phones function as they are meant to is after a chef (long may they live) as cooked up a treat.
I have now had 6 different HTC's 2 x hermes, 1 x Touch dual, 1 x Kaiser, 1 x Touch Pro and now a Touch HD. Every single one of them has performed way beyond what a stock rom offered after I loaded a cooked one. This is just a simple fact.

well i do hope this is true, with official W6.5 ROM for HD, maybe then chefs can get their hands on updated / "official" HD drivers that are meant for W6.5...

Gheh, let's put some more oil on this bonfire...
I've flashed my girlfriends Topaz with the 6.5 stock rom and it outperforms my HD in EVERY aspect! I thought it could also be with my HD and i flashed the stock 6.1 NLD ROM and wow! I had forgotten how FAST 6.1 was. Compared to 6.5, 6.1 is ALOT faster and responsive. Now, what went awfully wrong with 6.5 here?
Bummer i'm so accustomed to manila 2.5 and the finger-friendliness of 6.5, because it's slow as hell. However, if HTC would release an official ROM, it'd be the first thing i'd flash back on my HD.

Best Leo rom on Touch HD?

I am looking for a rom for my touch HD.
surely i want it to look like the HD2, is there a rom that is just like the stock rom of HD2? i.e. HTC sense
or any other recomendations?
THANKS~

You've come to the right place. Try a few and see for yourself. Asking for opinions is going to get you 10 different suggestions as many of the chefs have very loyal followers and they will punt their chef as the best etc.
People also have differing needs and uses for these devices, so what is vital for a good rom for one person may be totally unimportant to you and thus the suggestion given will not be relevant to your needs.

thanks, but i just wonder whether there is one which is just like the stock rom of HD2...without other stuff added to it

I understand kwbr Vanila roms are fairly stock. miri and jakari also generally keeps roms close to stock, but again read the threads and see what they add in.

thanks alot~~

the BEST THING to do is to try and test some Leo HTC Man 2.5 Sense ROMs.
If you expect a ROM to be "just like the stock rom of HD2" you'll be dismayed
to know this will never be the case. (Although I must admire Cooks who port most of HD2 (Leo) feature to the Blackstone)
As you may know Hardware wise the Blackstone pales
in comparison to the Leo. HTC wouldnt even update
the Blackstone with Win 6.5 as they say it lacks the necessary Drivers,
but to all of us here in XDA this is a big lie, as we are all enjoying
Win 6.5 ROMS. (The best ATM is Kwbr Topix 3.2.3)

According to you LOL

If I understand correctly, he is looking for HD2-like roms. If this is the case, then any rom with (manila) 2.5 in the title will have the appearance of the HD2, not everything will be like the HD2, since they are different phones hardwarewise...
Many of them are tweaked by the chefs so you have to try em out to see which one you like
