why? We need only Port this. I have windows 6.5 installed in my Hermes. The good on OS 6.5 is for me only the startmenu.

WM 6.5 ROM for BlackStone works on Jade?
Does anyone knows if the BlackStone wm 6.5 ROM is compatible on Jade?

Ruclip,
I only said no because there are still a small number of ROMs for Jade. I do hope that with time we can get more and more and more... with win 6.5, he new manila from diamond 2, etc... People are working hard and I really apreciate everyone's ROM (even if I don't like the ROM itself)... but the no and the laugh was just because we (the "Jaders") are still at the begining... anyways, as I said before: Thanks to everyone who is working hard with new ROMs everyday...

if someone can make a 6.5 rom for jade, i'm available for testing.

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

recomandation
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:

[REQ] 6.1 rom with manila 2.5

greetings dear friends, i just wanted to make this request that some of our talanted cooks may provide a 6.1 rom with manila 2.5, dont know if it is possible? but it would be very nice and i am sure many would find this to be a great rom to use on their device?
anyhow, i would like this, since some of my must have apps dont function very good on winmo 6.5, but i love the new manila 2.5, so a mix of the best from both worlds would be great

Not sure this is possible due to incompatibility issues. I believe manila 2.5 uses new WinMo 6.5 Features

I already tried, but I can't get it working, Manila will not start up. Some Leo packages do start up but look really messy. I do not have the latest Leo Packages (like Miri and Dutty do) and have no idea where to get them so I can't say anything about the later versions.

oh so i should stay with 6.1 rather than using ugly 6.5 with manila

That depends... Both Windows Mobile 6.1 and 6.5 are quite stable (talking about 23016 not the 23022+ branch) and both have their own native versions of Manila. However Manila 2.5 is still in beta (rather say alpha) and not as stable as Manila 2.1. But, although Manila 2.1 is writen for Windows Mobile 6.1, Manila 2.1 is rather easy to get working on Windows Mobile 6.5 (not supporting any of the new functions though).
So you will find WinMo 6.5 ROMs containing Manila 2.1 as well as ROMs containing 2.5. In the WinMo 6.1 branch you will find only ROMs using Manila 2.1 and some Leo (Manila 2.5) Packages (keyboard and stuff, but mostly just Topaz and Rhodium Packages).

I love it

ok, so probably its not possible, its just i use some older programs that always hang or just exit when using winmo 6.5, so i need 6.1 for now i guess... would be nice tho with some upgrade for 6.1 ..... getting tired of manila...(2.0-1)

Maybe we can do a test and see...I don't have much time right now, but if you can give me a link where to download a WM 6.1 SYS/XIP, I can try it.
In theory it should work.

Hi Alesscam,
I know you posted the files for Miri, but I downloaded them too (I don't have 21052, still working with 21048). I can't help wondering, isn't this package for 240x320? Since the package contains only DPI96 and ResH 240 / ResV 320.
Also I want to help out too, since I already gave it a spin this afternoon. Not sure if I can be of much help, but if you have a question or you need someone to test anything drop me a PM.

i would love to test any rom you guys produces if necessary.... pm me

Thanks, I imported them to my kitchen, but so far no luck. At first I just changed the SYS and XIP from 23016 to 21052, however this leaves the ROM completely unbootable (too many modules for starter). I started from scratch and had some luck booting the ROM, but mostly when I added Manila 2.5 the ROM won't boot.
For tonight I must give it a rest it's now 12:00 PM (or 0:00 as we display time) will try tomorrow some more!

All official roms come with official HTC software including manila, HTC keyboard etc.

What rom? Are you looking for wm 6.5 titanium rom? Wm 6.1 rom?
Dutty has a clean no manilla rom advertised in his Leo R1 test thread. That's the only one I know of.

When people delete these programs and cook, its not "official" anymore. But I think you re looking for something like this:

Should be more clear when you say official then as all cooked roms are technically illegal or unofficial.

Help on Manila for HTC Touch Diamond2

I am using HTC Touch Diamond2 Topaz and I am very new to Windows Mobile world. I am just confused with what is manila/sense? Why it's required and how to download it for HTC Toudg Diamond2 model?
Sorry..if it's very basic question..?
My ROM version: 2.17.707.1 (68613) WWE.
I have updated to WM 6.5.
In Device information, i don't find the Manila version. Whether I need to download it and install.

Touchflo 3D, the user interface, is also known as Manila.
Sense is described as 'a user experience' based on Touchflo 3D. It's the 'extra' bits, that personalise the phone if you like. It's supposed to make the UI seamless and intuitive.
Hope that helps.

Thanks for your quick reply.
I don't find the manila version in my HTC Toudh Diamond2 and only ROM version. How to install manila and what is the latest version is suitable for HTC diamond 2 WM 6.5 model?

To clarify, TF3D is now known as 'Sense' in the newer versions. You have Sense 2.1. There are Sense 2.5 versions out there but to use them you would need to update your ROM to a custom one that has it built in.
Hope this is clearer.

Thanks DirkGently1.
And one more query on this.
So by default/WM 6.5 has Sense 2.1. If I want to upgrade it to Sense 2.5, i need to update the ROM, so that the softwares installed so far will be deleted. Am I right? or Sense 2.5 will be in CAB and install it and do a soft reset will do?
How/where can I see the sense version in my HTC Touch Dimaond2?
Where can get the SENSE 2.5 version? for htc offical website.. any help..on this

You won't see the Sense version, but the manila version will tell you if its sense 2.1 or 2.5. If you read up on both, you will see the differences and know which you are on.
There may be a cab installation of a newer manila w/Sense 2.5, however it is recommended to be cooked into the ROM, therefore flashing a custom ROM is your best option.
Make sure you thoroughly read the flashing guide and understand everything.
Ask in that thread if you have any questions about it. Its all quite simple, just make sure you HARDSPL first, or you have an expensive paperweight.
Enjoy, and I guarentee that you'll be happier than what you get out off the box with these devices.

Thanks for your help bruce.

Yes, sense 2.5 has been ported over from the HTC Leo. HTC has not released sense 2.5 on the TD2 AFAIK. Therefore your official stock ROMs are all 2.1.
First read the very first thread under Topaz General- "flashing giuide- start here" thanks to Drag-on.
This will tell you about HOW to flash and all of the necessary steps.
To find a cooked ROM, go to the ROM developement section. Most threads there are ROM threads by various chefs. Even though it may be hundreds of pages in length, it is very impotant to read the first 5 posts which are usually bug reports and fixes, etc. the read at least the last 5 paged of posts to see what the current bugs are.
I am quite pleased with the ROM listed in my signature (which is a clickable link), that is a WM6.5 w/ Sense 2.1.
Hope this helps. Happy flashing.

here is the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=585457
hope that helps (in there, there is another link which will take you to your first flashing steps)

I have a question... if you don´t know what is manila, Why do you want to upgrade?

I am using the Windows Mobile for the first time and using it for about 1 month. I am jsut learning on how to improvise my phone look and feel and performance..any new application to try it out.
By going thru' the beginners guide, I got some idea but still want to confirm it what I thinking is right/wrong? Anyway, some of the users from this thread are helping me by answering queries. Gradually, I will know all the technical terminology and will rock with the cooked rom.
