Any way to get the Twitter and Footprint tabs on the Official 6.5 ROM that came out yesterday?

what is the footprint tab exactly
No, the Twitter and Footprints tab that you see are actually part of an entirely new version of HTC Sense. (Touch Flo 3D) This version of sense, 2.5 and above is made for the HTC HD2 and is made to take advantage of the 1ghz snapdragon processor.
Our devices, the Touch Pro2, is made to run HTC Sense 2.1 and below. (Touch Flo 3D) The update brought your device to Windows Mobile 6.5 and your Sense to version 2.1. (Touch Flo 3D)
No official roms for the Touch Pro2 will include Sense 2.5 because it is simply not made to run on our slower devices. You can however load a custom rom, complete with Sense 2.5 ripped from a HD2 rom.

anyone an idea how to include this, or even better providing cab?

That tab looks cool, want!
Hope new cruise comes soon so it gets ported fast
Edit: Oh new cruise has only QVGA and touchflo 2D. will see then about that tab..
Have patience. All top-of-the-bill HTC phones have TF3D and *all* the functions other HTC phones have. We just have to wait for a newer device than HD or MAX.
Seems kind of pointless to me.
I'm not that forgetful

I included it in my rom last week. It is running but M2D has a wrong resolution for Blackstone so you have to port/photoshop the graphics. Over in the Kaiser or Raphael forum you can download a standalone version of footprints (without M2D).
For all those who have tried both rom versions.........
Which one do you like better? Why?
What features do you prefer from each?
If I'm not mistaken, the Rhodium version is newer?
It would be nice if someone can explain the major differences between the two versions. Thank you.
****************************************************************************************
Update #1
From the words of the Great Laurentius26...........
----Rhodium dialer support landscape and has conference call good for business people.
----Topaz dialer is buggy in landscape
*****************************************************************************************
Good idea! I am using at the moment Dutty's V2.7 (Rhodium) and it works fast and stable. Music works without skippings.
But I'll change to forthcoming V3.0 which is Topaz based and give it a try. Hope the music works also fine.
Yeah, good Thread.
Where are the differences between them?
What does "Topaz" and "Rhodium" actually mean? What is it?
I guess that that are code-names, but for what?
And where are the differneces between a Topaz-based and a Rhodium-based ROM?
Thx in advance
greetz
Topaz and Rhodium are two codenames for htc phones, such as "Blackstone" is for htc HD.
Topaz = Touch Diamond 2 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=478)
Rhodium = Touch Pro 2 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=479)
And what are the differences between Topaz TF3D, and Rodhium TF3D ?
yeah infact.. it should be the same.. it's just the new manila v3.0, nothing specific for rhodium over topaz for what I know..
The Rodium has another dialer...which makes conference calls easier. The rest should be the same.

I have seen every one jumping to Topaz, but any one here knows what is so great abt Topaz TF3D
just because they all new
After some searching around I beleive that the main difference is that the Rhodium Manilla for the phone application has more features than compared to the Topaz Manilla phone app. Everything else seems to be similar.
Take note that Rhodium manilla is released on the Touch Pro 2 which is marketed as more of a business phone. Where as the Topaz manilla is released on the Diamond 2 which is marketed more as media phone. I think somebody mentioned that Rhodium has improved conference calling features.
Anyone want to youtube a video showing off and comparing all Manillas?
Rhodium manila is better in my opinion. It's more black (title images and the new startmenu bg) like the topaz.
I also like the Tmobile rhodium clock which is not flipping but also has no ugly line in the middle of it.
The Tmobile rhodium manila didn't supported CFC in Dutty's 2.7.
Hello..
My ony question is this: is it able to install the HTC Sense into the diamond but without flashing the rom?? i mean, is there a cab file that contains only that app??like there is with the TF3D??
if yes, i would be very gratefull to point it out to me
thnx
Is it possible to have HTC Sense and Touch Flo 3D? I mean not at same time, but the ability to switch between them...
aren't they the same thing?
I don't know. I heard sense is based off Touch Flo 3D, so maybe it's a newer version or something...

yeah both are same kind of softwares, Sense needs more RAM then tf3d.
HTC has just released a ROM featuring sense 2.5 (created for the HD2) for the Diamond2 and Touch Pro2. See article on pocketnow.com (click here).
These devices have specifications which are similar to the HD. As the experience on custom ROMs with sense 2.5 has lagged, especially in the messaging application, will this official ROM bring a possibility for new and faster sense for the HD with the software being more optimized for use without the snapdragon processor?
Hopefully at last the HD can feature sense 2.5 with a far more usable and fast experience.

The Topaz Sense 2.5 was released a couple of months ago, and there's a Rhodium Sense 2.5 from mid-february too. Yes, they seem to be faster though it's probably just because they lack certain features from the HD2 Sense 2.5 - no ereader, documents or footprints tabs. Take a look at miniterror's rom which is based on Rhodium 2.07.
Rhodium version is 2.07, same as leaked version.
Topaz version is 2.53, same as leaked WWE version (Asia leak = 2.54)
yep i am using those pakages but they where not official
i just came form the rhodium section and it loks like htc has released a official update of the rhodium sense 2.5
if only i had a english s/n number to check out what is changed
would be verry handy as i am rebuilding my kitchen

ohh chris check this out... found it on rhodium forums
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=634536
the EU version i guess is pretty much a WWE version... u can extract sense 2.5 from it and use it in the next build
Great when are we going to start seeing ROMS created for our HD's with this new update to Sense UI included.
I find the LEO Sense ROMS way to clunky, the document, reader and footprints tabs are all useless to me, simple remove them as soon as I start using a rom...
PLEASE also chefs can you title your roms clearly to state which Sense UI you have cooked inside, this would help a lot.

Rhodium and Topaz Sense 2.5 Roms have been around for a month or more! I find them much better than the Leo ones (as to be expected).
guys, is it possible in the future we see a htc hd mini rom port to our touch hd?
will it work?

in theorie i believe it is possible but all packages have to be ported to wvga size
sort like the leo sense to diamond 1
if people do that chefs can make a kitchen of those packages and cook a rom out of it
but what benefits should hd mini rom have
i believe it is also sense packages and i think it wont be better then rhodium packages
edit: i do have to say porting over packages takes a LOT of time

Like you I can't see many advantages to using the mini HD version of Sense 2.5. It includes the mini HD lockscreen, which has already been ported as a cab file, and a location based internet tab (presumably for finding nearby restaurants etc). Given how long a good port takes it's likely we'll see newer Leo/Rhodium/Topaz builds of 2.5 in the meantime, which will hopefully include anything useful from the mini HD.
Think this has been answered enough. Its theoretically possible, but would need to be ported to wvga size.
