Hello Seniors,
I have a Tytn II with normal Rom version 3.29.707.0 WWE
Radio Version is 1.65.16.25
I am very new to this ROM cooking & flashing thing but it looks amazing & interesting to see how you make your devices look mesmerizing with all those features that you work upon. I read few instructions about how to install these cooked roms with RUU files..But due to lack of knowledge & experience, it doesn't seem to be working for me. I am looking forward to a Manila 3d or 2d rom's .cab file which comparatively is easier to install. Can someone please help me with a file or a link from where i can get a working Manila or any other Touch 3D rom's .cab file that i can use for my Kaiser..Your help will be highly appreciated.
I found one working .cab file for Manila 2d but it doesn't work in landscape mode.
here u go
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=465507 follow instructions after download and all should be fine, figured i do this b4 they hopped all over you telling you to search
looking for a quick fix will almost always get you nowhere. Try clicking on the link titled "For all the people that want a cool phone" in my Sig and read the post.
Thanks !!
Thank you all for your response as it really was helping. I appreciate your views about the journey. Not just getting the meal served on table rather also to know how it is being prepared in the kitchen & what's it all about ! Will definitely keep up my research & will try to make most of it. Please keep helping & suggesting as it really helps. I know it's not sumthing that you're here for. But again if u spare some time for queries that u feel r considerable it'd be great. And yes i've gone thru the link : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=465507 and tried to make it work on my Kaiser..But Touch-Flo 3d was not initiated even after flashing on screen again & again..I got the Second start up & Diamond Album work though..But didn't see Manila 3D working even i tried installing files in my device memory as specified serial order :
TF3D-QVGA
Opera
HTC AudioManager by Swtos
TF3D Standby
Touch Response
HTC-Diamond-Album
Manilla 3D landscape
Please help if anything needs to be done apart from these !!
Manila 2D does not work in Landscape. Also your ROM version is incorrect. You would know this if you read the whole post, and before flashing -G-'s ROM you need to flash Hard-SPL 3.29
It Worked
Hey I played with the files that were attached in the link mentioned in my previous rep..A little shuffle with them And i made Manila 3D work on my Kaiser..I installed HTC-CA-KAIS- 3D Drivers..Also instead of 3D Standby attached in the same link..I used Mortscript..QVGA Touch Power & TouchPower + TF3D Stanby cabs to get it working alongwith an advanced power menu thru the Power button..The only problem is that the phone has become really slow now. Also the Manila 3D's album feature is not detecting any albums neither looks like working properly. I will try to install Kaiser Tweaks as i read in a thread as my phone is freezing while a call comes !! Any suggestions are welcome..Cheers

Glad you got everything working, but obviously when you download a lot of crap that wasn't meant for your phone onto your phone,to make it look cool, it uses a lot of resources. While TF3D looks really cool and everyone here has done a great job porting it to our Kaisers, I still think that M2D gives you a lot more " bang for your buck " with fewer problems and fewer needed work a rounds.
RESULTS
Well i agree Denko that this feature is not meant for Kaisers by default. But by using certain means & making them work is what "Development" is all about. I understand there's a price for everything that we do. And after all d research & experiments that i did with my Kaiser..Its not the "Kewl" thing neither the 3D effect that is making me go crazy but its simpy the efforts & the result that i finally derived through them which again has inspired me that i can go ahead & experiment and maybe create new things too. And I can understand on thing for sure, that for a technology freak, There's no end to modifications & development as it's an on-going process.You've yourself been a part of same thing for a long time now i guess, But for me its sumthing i've stepped upon, So i'l take my time & maybe react too. Though you might find it too small to react & childish too, But datz d way it is. Thanks once again for your wise help & suggestions. Now next thing i'd wanna do to my Tilt is Flash a ROM in it..Maybe by next week. And that's sumthing i'm li'l scared of because i dnt wana cause harm to my device at d same time. And even after reading tutorial, M nt getting it worked as my phone gets disconnected from USB mode as soon as i start burning a ROM. Also i dnt really know how to get a HARD SPL 3.56 on my device. I tried that but it didn't work too. Is there some video tutorial that gives a sneek-peek into the action. Anyways i think m going too fast for that, And there's no hurry. So what are you working upon these days ?? And what do you do ?
Clarify & help please ???

by your ROM version being incorrect i mean that you need -G-'s ROM. After you go through Hard-SPL just install TF3D. The HTC-CA drviers are cooked into his ROM and it makes TF3D a hell of a lot smoother and faster. So you don't need to install the drivers. Thats what was wrong in the first place is you didn't have the drivers which I see you installed in with a CAB but with them bring cooked in it makes it a lot better
How to get -G- Rom ???

Sir,
thank you for your suggestion. But as I've mentioned in my previous Replies, I am a rookie when it comes to Kaiser or ROM cooking & flashing. So i tried to flash some ROMS in my Kaiser but it failed. I mean my device is connected to my PC thru USB..And then i go thru those normal RUU file initiation screen too. But as it turns into 3 color screen & status shows "0%", It gets stuck right there & gets Disconnected from the USB connection !! And what about HARD SPL...How can i get it done to my Device..Specially with the configuration that i have on Kaiser. Because like i mentioned, I try to flash things through RUU..My phone gets disconnected frm USB ?? And wanted to resolve the query that DO our phones come with a HARD-SPL already ?? What is it actually & Hw can we check if its there on our device already or not ?? I tried by pressing both the "SOFTKEYS" at the same time..all that happened is that my phone screen got locked (Normal screen-lock)..I also tried pressing CAMERA & POWER buttons together for almost 30 seconds..Nothing happened Well these threads help me to an extent as i keep reading. But if there's some specific directions that i can get specific to my query. It might help..Or maybe if there's a Video-tutorial. Plus if you are getting what actually my problem is..I mean with the device..like if there are some specific files that i should use for it to get working..Please attach the links if you would. Because i did check the video of Touchflo 3D manila on Youtube & it was quick out there !! Also i installed some Kaiser tweaks (KaiserTweak-nikagl-20080613-1711) as i read in a thread installing tweaks make Kaiser speed up a lil bit when using Manila 3D..But the Touch-Incall-Screen-Tweal seems to give some trouble as the incoming call screen gets stuck..It did twice today morning. So i have un-installed those tweaks !! So if there's sumthing that you think might get my device a li'l boosted up along with Manila 3D..Please refer that too !! I'l try to flash a ROM once i receive your response about how & which version of HARD SPL will b fine for my Kaiser..And how can i get it on my device ??
Your reply will be awaited & appreciated.. Thanks in Advance

no prob i used it and it worked fine for me i just switched back to 2d about 2 days ago and im already thinking about going back to 3d
installing M3D really makes my Kaiser slow. i installed M2D instead and installed M3D skin i dont have any problem w/ it right now
yeah but buddy here is the thing. The skin pales compared to the actual thing . And you probably didn't flash -G-'s ROM I bet?

Hey Senior..Than'x for all your support & guidance..I flashed Garmin's version 10 final rom on my Kaiser yesterday night..I had a li'l fear in my mind before i initiated HardSPL 3.29 & then Flashing GK.10.Final on my phone but all that happened very smooth & gave my device an all new look. Now what i am wondering is that how can i use Manila 3D or should i say 3D interface on my Kaiser. Or i must say you advice me what will look the best on my Kaiser. If you have any roms or suggestions upon what can i do post installing -G-'s rom on my kaiser..Or is it the complete package within itself..Please do advice me regarding this..I really would like to move on to the next level..Its really adventurous..Cheers to y'all !!
Regards,
Vicky
Everything you need for Manila3D should be in the ZIP file over at the TF3D thread. Be sure to read the Readme

Senior I used the TF3D files in the .rar file as you mentioned in the post yesterday night itself as the excitement was too high & it was too hard to stop..So i worked upon my Kaiser till the morning & uploaded TF3D Manila. To my wonder the Incall Tweak was not required this time as the phone didn't freeze on incoming call. Earlier it didn't use to display caller ID as it was left hidden begind Manila Interface..But not anymore. I also used some additional tabs like the Additional 3 tabs, Call Log, Calendar & Command manager tabs. I also installed S2U2 v 1.52 on my phone. And now TF3D Manila works on my Kaiser like the Nitrous in the car. Then i used Flash Format & formatted my 4Gig card as it got corrupted a li'l while back with the folders getting unaccessible with some strange signs & i was unable to format it using Pocket Mechanic. But finally everything is in place & working absolutely fine herre as i have installed some more programs using the other threads for Kaiser software..Will try & add some Pictures of Manila 3D running over Garmin's DK.10.Final ROM. Will cherish this ROM for sometime & then will try using something different & better on my Kaiser. You can advice what will be the next thing that i should do which will be fantastic for my Device !!
It would have never been possible without you guys who work hard on development part & bother to help rookies like us with queries too. Gr8 job

For all your booting android needs, it's a pretty nice setup but I wouldn't count on it for everyday use because a few things don't work yet...
Thats the different between the RAPH, RAPH100, RAPH800, and RAPH & DIAM? I have ATT FUZE, not sure which category that falls under...

I have the AT&T Fuze and I use the one in the RAPH100 category; I believe the RAPH800 is the CDMA version of the Raphael. Regarding the other categories, 'RAPH and DIAM' appears to be an outdated version (v1265 as opposed to RAPH100's v1714) and the 'RAPH' category also appears to be an outdated version (dated 2009-02-19 as opposed to RAPH100's 2009-06-21).
I honestly don't understand why the website decided to categorize the port versions in such a confusing manner.
this doesnt appear to be the hero android.. or am I just downloading the wrong thing here? I followed all the logical links and went to Raph100 and downloaded the file. Looks more like the basic android though NOT the hero Sense OS
Also... are you sure that we are suposed to use Raph100? NOTHING seems to work with the download provided.. I cant make a call no wifi, no GPS, no.. anything. In the previous version I used I was at least able to make a call.... that was like 7 months ago though

Install PointSenseSuite.cab
Enable the UI from Settings -> Today
Select the recently installed theme under Menu -> Customization
Install the PointSense.HomeScreen.cab.

And this is where the smart people come in to play to help us yayyyy
ok ... im a little confused .....
I have a rapheal - with NRG Rom using tf3d2. I have purchased SPB MS3, so i tend to not use TF3D anymore.
Ive had a go at Andriod (the connect-utb one) just to have a nosey - obviously it doesnt play nicely yet
This PointUI sense .... is it an overlay of WM6.5 (like TF3D) or is it a bootable OS (like Android) ?
I think my main question is .... is it the Hero OS ? or is it just a WM theme made to look like the hero OS ?
sorry if really noob question ....
PointUI is just a today plug in really.... Much like the old HTC Home or TF3D is.
But what is weird is that people make their phone look like an HTC Hero with what I posted but I have no idea how they do it
Realized I have to install a bunch of things to make it look like the Hero
the third thing you are sposed to install i cant find anywhere even on the main thread for it
Wait until tommorow, for the new release of PointSense UI.
First, install Home 2 here
Then, install Point Sense UI by following the instruction on the site.
Copied right from the site. (Make sure you have Point UI Home 2 installed first)
Install:
- Only for Point UI 2.1.0.6c or higher
- Recommend to install in clean Point UI (You must run Point UI first, accept Terms and activate before install the suite)
- Backup your Home2\Common folder to get back default home screen
- Exit Home 2
- Download cab and install (it may take a long time, because of there're many files to extract)
- Enable Home 2 again
- Select PointSense Theme (for correct color), and add the PointSenseScreen Applets.

Guys i thought i would start a thread to discuss the possibilities of creating an android rom or the possibilty replacing winmo as the primary os.
i know the current build for x1 is buggy, however the x1 is an outdate device now, i own one only as a testing device for my winmo programming. therefore i cant see why we cant have fun with it...
anyone with thoughts, or references welcome. i have a bit of free time coming up so im looking to jump on the x1 - android bandwagon!
I think more important for now is create krenel that contains all hardware configuration (working WiFi, BT, Camera, GPS, turn off LCD, fast working etc. ) if it will be fulfilled it is possible to think about create android rom

You're absolutely right. But ... who would flash his phone with a rom, which can't use the speaker for ringtones and which drains the battery.
I agree with vdelf - as soon as we see a working kernel worth for daily use, we might look into the issue of flashing android rom.
Bluetooth, GPS and Camera still not working for many htc devices. However, sound, ringtone is of highest requests for X1
I am with _Sensible on this one (not the "outdated"-part ). Android is not ready for primary OS on the X1, but it is not that far away. Why not start to create a rom? IMHO that will take some time, too. And that way we do not have to wait for a rom when the kernel is ready
If speaker and screen issues will solve then may try to cook android rom

I would....
but then again I do have two xperia's so it wont matter if one isn't working properly.
btw this would be a nice time to stop talking about why and start talking about how.
maybe the knowledge can be found in the tp2 forum again....?
thanks for all your thoughts guys. i realise a flashable rom isnt a priority but i was thinking along the lines of vdelf. if we start this development now it may tie in nicely with a functional kernel.
in terms of how to do it...
1. binary image written via a 'flasher' app etc etc.
2. I wonder if we can install an os via android-through-haret? like the install option from an ubuntu live cd?
like i said, i have some free time soon so will do some R+D.
I hope so for that Android ROM .

same here - im sick of winmo glitches and problems,been reading alot about this project and i hope that all the x1 hardware works on it.
I'm looking forward for rom too. But not because of WM glitches, but because android will extend life of xperia. WM6.5 is dying os. Most software from actual companies is either for Android or iPhone (and probably for WP7S soon), apps for WM6.5.x and older are becoming rare.
I would really like to see actual rom, but i think you should put priorities on power managemnet, brigthness and sound. I can live with haret until then
Anyone have experience using the fastboot bootloader / recovery options for android roms?

@Reversedhex,
Yes, a ROM can be cooked and I don't see why the RUU utility couldnt be used either
I will have a play - I believe this has already been done on the HTC Vogue...
Tinboot is also a possibilty...
Ok,
Ive been looking into this, I reckon the best way to do is to jump on the back of the 'tinboot' bootlader developed on this forum. So far Its only been ported to the Kaiser....however with a bit of R&D it shouldnt be too hard to port to kovsky.
Please check it out
git://androidhtc.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/androidhtc/tinboot
Oh, I dont suppose anyone has a kovsky nand dump lying around? Or info on the tables?
Well, you know, it 'kinda' works. I've even made a video. But we need to fix panel initialisation (or it's more likely that i've simply messed something up). You can watch. After hanging on the SE logo, it makes two vibrations and the screen covers with strange pattern which means the kernel does start. Maybe i'll work on it later.

Hi All!
This is a stock 2.13 Tmobile Usa Rom that I created with Nibbley15's help. It fixes the unsensitive touchscreen for those who had this issue by using the touch drivers from the 2.10 rom. Please post your experiences. You need to HARDSPL your phone before flashing. I am not responsible for any bricked phones. I have tested this rom and it is 100% working on my hd2.
The only way to completely fix the touchscreen sensitivity is to install this rom because you cannot edit the drivers while you are using the rom. It is like changing the tires on a moving car ...wont work out.
**MAKE SURE TO HARDSPL YOUR PHONE BEFORE FLASHING** Read how to do it here.
This Rom will come in three versions-Regular, Platinum, and Lite. The regular rom is the stock Tmobile 2.13 Rom with only 2.10 rom touch drivers added and some tweaks for stability. The Lite version is the stock Tmobile 2.13 rom with 2.10 touch drivers and most unneeded preloaded software removed. Here is a list below for the changes in it:
remove blockbuster, bnereader, mobitv, slacker radio, telenav, stock games (demos)
replace htc messaging with two different versions (thanks to G-ThGraf and Pyrorob)
update Microsoft MyPhone
replace stock compass with dutty's compass (same thing as stock...just the set destination feature in the international hd2 added)
I will give a link to download all the cabs for most of the stuff I remove in case someone wants some of the software.
I recommend using this tool to backup all your contacts, texts, etc...I DO NOT recommend using tools such as spb backup because they tend to backup the registry and core system files that may have bugs as well
If you would like even more sensitivity or are still having problems, then download zim's touchscreen cab, install and soft reset. Works like a charm. Here is the link: Touchscreen Cab
**REGULAR ROM**
The link to the regular rom is here:
http://hotfile.com/dl/49273353/743b7b7/2.13_rom_with_2.10_drivers.nbh.html
***UPDATE 07/09/2010-Regular rom with cfc compression for speed and 2016 messaging client***
you can download this rom here
**LITE VERSION**
The link for the lite version with 2018 messaging is here.
Some users have reported bugs with the messaging client in the 2018 messaging rom. Your experience may be different but its just a heads up
The link for the lite version with regular messaging is here.
This rom has been tested and it is 100% working.
**Platinum Version**
This rom can be found here.
Heres what was changed:
removed tmobile stock unneeded apps.
added palringo im
added vibrate configurator (thanks earth jumper)
added cht 1.8.5 (thanks Co0kieMonster)
added 2016 messaging client (thanks G-ThGraf)
added 3d driver set for performance (thanks chainfire)
added bsb tweaks (thanks makeveral)
added dutys task manager
added backlight toggle (thanks react)
changed default lockscreen layout (thanks JayceOoi)
changed dialer (thanks akira99)
changed taskbar (thanks dafunk2)
changed icon looks (thanks Lechux)
updated Microsoft MyPhone
4 Column Start Menu
Added Registry Editor
added custom keyboard (thanks dafunk2)
Compressed rom with cfc compression for added speed and performance
Removed all languages except English to save space
Screenshots of this rom are below.
many thanks to our community here at xda and elracing21 for helping me with ideas for this rom
**I have only added tweaks for stability and a couple of tweaks for speed. This is because some users are reporting lots of bugs with the registry tweaks pre applied. I have included a registry editor in the rom and here are a few links for tweaks that I normally used on my hd2. they really maximize battery life and give amazing performance ...see what works for you:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=629388
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=585729
**
**if when you start it up for the first time, the quicklinks on the home screen have dead icons, then this is not a problem. Just remove the quicklinks and everything should be fine. This issue should be fixed in the next version I release. still working on it **
[/B]
You will need the Rom Update Utility found here.
I also recommend using the 2.10.50.19 or the 2.12.50.02 radio for optimal battery life. They can be found in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=669733&page=11this thread. Just click the link in the first post on that page.
**Remember that if you have a TMOUS HD2, only flash radios that are xx.xx.50.xx. The xx.xx.51.xx radios are not compatible will probably brick your phone**
Please perform a hard reset after flashing.
This is my first time ever working on a rom...so please leave some feedback
Cabs for stock software that was removed in the lite and platinum can be found here.
If you would like another rom like this with unneeded programs stripped out, please post below.

Hi I'll be trying this rom on thursday, been too busy at work up until now but I would gladly love to have a stock rom w/o uneeded apps and programs that just take up memory and storage space. As long as you dont get rid of the goodies.
You should probably list down the apps and programs you wish to delete on your next rom so the community could give some input.
Just my opinion. Good job tho, will post my feedback for your rom soon.
Thanks for taking the time to make this. I think I'll probably end up waiting for the stock 2.13 version with the extra T-Mo crapware stripped out.
Some suggestions for stuff to strip out/change:
- Cook in the older 2.10 touch drivers for smoother scrolling (already done)
- Replace stock digital compass with Dutty's version (this one includes the "set location" button)
- Remove Blockbuster
- Remove Telenav
- Remove paid games like Ferrari, Millionaire, Guitar Hero, Prince of Persia
- Leave Transformers in since the app itself so tiny
- Cook in new HTC Messaging 2015 or 2016. See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=700495
- Replace old version of MyPhone with the new one
- Replace old version of Marketplace with the new one
- Remove Barnes and Noble (or keep it if enough people want it)
- Remove MobiTV
- Cook in Cookie's home tab (or maybe by doing things like this we're moving away from the stock idea, up to you)
We can all collectively expand/trim down this list as needed, but this should be a pretty good start hopefully

Yeah the new messaging is great for sure, amazing improvement over the stock one.
Btw I think there's a cab for mobitv floating around so it could easily be installed afterwards, I would imagine most people don't use it. But it's your ROM of course, so include it if you like
I'm really looking forward to this ROM!!
This sounds exactly like the ROM I cooked for my wife. I put the old driver from a previous ROM, removed the crapware and added a few tweaks.

IMHO we already have alot of those
I like your original idea. taking the old touch screen driver and putting it into a new stock rom
I've installed and am testing this ROM now. I've used just about all of them, but I am coming from 2.10.531.1 this time.
Right now touch sensitivity seems identical to 2.10. I will report back.

Why not.
I've uploaded the ROM to my site.

Would you like the Kitchen too? (That will take a little longer to upload)

Dude I've been wating for this for a long time. I've tested so many roms without the crapware but none close to stock. I know this is your rom and you are doing the actual work. But I do have some suggestions. This would be my dream rom . Here goes.
Remove These Apps:-
Blockbuster (cab is available)
Transformer (cab is available)
Barnes and Nobles (cab is available)
MobiTv (cab is available)
Ferrari GT (Demo)
Millionaire 2010 (Demo)
MobiTV (Demo)
Prince of Persia (Demo)
Slacker Radio (cab is available)
Telenav (Subscription Based)
Tetris (Demo)
Transformers (cab is available)
Thats just my wish but cant wait to see what you do. Im sure its going to be nice.
if this is bug free i will definitly switch to this.
1: if you make a stripped version, are you going to get rid of vvm and gmaps, those i find very useful. also mobitv since i would like the option to use it if i need to.
2: are the touch drivers the only thing you change so far? everything else is the stock?
Can u pls share the ext package list with versions?
Pls do write abt the software that u've removed n icluded... n waht ur future plans for upgrade are....

Nice one, thank you!! I will be giving this a run in the next couple days hopefully, cheers!
SSorry for the late response guys...been kinda busy...anyway I am probably going to remove all of the apps that have cabs to reinstall them. If it doesn't have a cab, then it will stay. I'm gonna put all the cabs for the stuff I remove in a zip file and make it part of the download for those who wish to keep some of the software...that way everyone will be happy

I'll make a list sometime today and post. I just need to find out which apps have cabs in case someone wants to reinstall them. Future upgrade will depend on what the community wants...but I do plan on making future roms that are more stable and have some registry tweaks to boost performance
I can probably get this rom out some time in the next couple of days if I find a good backup software for all my sms's so I can test the rom...any ideas ppl?

VVM=Visual Voice Mail (You will find it in your kitchen listed as: VVM_1_1_1_0_15_01)
SMS Backup= Use PIM Backup
I've had this ROM installed for about a day now. This morning I also upgraded to CHT1.8.5. I have yet to experience a single hiccup. Everything is extremely smooth as far as touch and scrolling is concerned. I just installed it on my wifes phone and will continue to report back with issues if I can find any.
Well done, and thank you very much for creating this rom!

Thanks...as for visual voicemail...probably will stay as its an app that is specific by tmobile to help with managing voicemail. same thing with the my account app.
I'll try to get the rom up before the end of tomorrow. If not, then by tuesday for sure.
So far, here is what I thought about changing in the new rom:
remove blockbuster, bnereader, mobitv, slacker radio, telenav, stock games (demos)
replace htc messaging 2012 with 2015 messaging. (newer version with more features)
replace stock compass with dutty's compass
I will give a link to download all the cabs for most of the stuff I remove in case someone wants some of the software.
lol...i just used everyones ideas here on this thread...I already have the rom I want and am only creating this one for the community so its going to be built according to what everyone wants ..anything else you might want to change?
I personally like the stock theme however I want to change the slide out theme since I use video out option alot I would like it to just show the normal touch flo screen is this possible and if so where can I get the cab?
ThankS!
does anyone know?
What do you mean a slide out theme? Like, the sound that plays? or do you mean the screen image and buttons and such?

yea screen image mainly. I would like to have it like the touch pro 2 has it
example
http://www.htctouchpro2deals.org.uk/htc-touch-pro2-t7373-a-smart-way-of-communication.html
meaning I simply hate to slide the keyboard open and see a black background with 6 boxes. I rather have the normal touch flo 3d look but on a wider scale.
ok i see what you mean. you want landscape touch flo...
just go flash a new rom with sense 2.1 or sense 2.5 in... the original touch flo only have that 6 boxes landscape interface, and these newer ones that have been ported to the device have fully functional landscape just like touch pro 2.
if you don't want to flash a new rom. i think there are cab packages... but they can be problematic.
Try SPB Mobile Shell
I have a cracked cab file... I don't really use it anymore since I got idiamond working on my touch pro, but I have the cab file if you want.
Or I could send you a link to the idiamond thread (the one that is not the beta) d/l in it.

Yes thats what I mean lol
If I flash to 2.5 will it have more cities for the weather tab? is there a step by step and will I lose my old stuff?
where can I find this cab at?
Thanks so much

I donno if there are more cities...i assume there should be more.. but not sure as my city is always on the list...
I'm trying this rom now. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=792880
its winmo 6.1, and has sense 2.5.2019 which is much much better than the original touchflo3d.
If you have never flashed a new rom before, you might need to do a few things before you flash this rom to your device. for details please read the ultimate guide for flashing a rom lol http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=448008
you can always look for another rom that suits you and check what new programs are built in them.
After you flashed the rom, i suggest you try the new cookie home tab 2 as well. its a modification for sense 2.5. making it even more than better (this rom already has cookie home tab 1)....but its still in beta so you might want to wait for a while...
BTW YOU WILL DEFINITELY LOSE YOUR DATA (not those in memory card...i mean everything in your phone memory like contacts) so back up before you flash.
(If you choose to install a cab version of sense 2.5 on to your current rom.... thats another story but..they are buggy and slow so just backup and flash a new rom...)
