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.
Hello everyone in the Blackstone thread.
Since I bought my Touch HD I always wanted the defice to perform as best as possible. During the last year I have tried many many ROMs and I have to say - none was bugfree (found one almost perfect - for me . Some bugs could be easily left forgotten as these weren't anyhow cruical.
But some were just heavily noticeable. These were from the WM6.5 world - generally.
After starting to look on the stability and performace, I have realized WM6.1 is still the best system for Touch HD - very fast, no unneeded options, great response.
I am looking right now for the latest WM6.1 ROM with latest HTC Sense 2.1. Or preferably for someone who is still cooking in WM6.1 world for Touch HD. Unfortunately I cannot find one (Dutty's v4.3 FINAL is a little bit outdated, and that's the latest one I have found ;/ ).
Anyone knows about such person?
If not I am going to try my best to cook such ROM, so I would appreciate any comments if there would be anyone interested and/or anyone willing to help me to reach the point. I am avaliable to spend as much time as possible to get this done.
Please leave a comment if you find this interesting for you.

i know raptordin is doing that
w6.1 whit sense2.1
he said he is almost finished
so wait a little more he will post his rom
Look at the Topix thread, Kwbr has been cooking 6.1 roms for quite some time. His 3.1.2 rom is supposedly bugfree!
I'm not sure if he's gonna update it anytime soon though.
I have to agree after months of rom flashing with manila 2.5. wm6.5 and 6.5.1...I did an official rom flash and had a play with the old 6.1 and wow it was fast and highly responsive.
so yes I would also be interested in a 6.1 kitchen with manila 2.1
where do we find one
btw almost forgot
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=547278
it is discontineud and dont know where it is to the things from now but its 6.1 whit sense2.5
its sayd its usable for every day you could always test till the 6.1 whit 2.1 is out
Sorry, don't want Sense 2.5 (very slow on HD), only 2.1 - it's enough for me.
But thanks for recommendation
i think the final version of topix wm6.1 is what youre looking for.

Sorry but KWBR will not be updating his 6.1 version anymore he has moved to 6.5 and has sold his HD.
I constantly keep coming back to this KWBR 3.1.2 rom
So fast, so reliable and so much more suited to our Touch HD's
I can simply use my device as it was intended, quickly take a picture, quickly review it, phone works, sms sends, review ballistically fast, all software just runs, soft reset is extremely fast, wifi connects without fail, background all tabs is simple, loads of themes....
But occasionally I miss the glossy Manila 2.5 with all its fluffy weather animations, but not a lot
If I could find a Kitchen for the latest 6.1 I would start learning to chef myself

Which kitchen?
OK, it seems I am going to build my own ROM. I would like to try to use some cooked ROMs as the base and continue from this point. Anyone knows how to proceed?
I have downloaded few kitchens already (jCEspi's, Ervius, osKitchen, PPCkitchen...) but having problems to use them properly. I haven't found any detailed howto yet, only some basics from the thread or attached readme files. So far "try-fail" style doesn't get me anywhere.
I would appreciate any help with some good howtos.
Thanks,

This might help

It maybe of help in getting started. Not sure if it contains a 6.1 Kitchen but Kwbr has compiled what would appear to be a great tutorial on how to cook.
kwbr tutorial isn't needed.
Basically all that is needed to cook - decompile ROM and compile it back (imgfstools, search in dev&hhack).
Kitchens is sometimes more pain than help for novice cook.
Cool, will get through these, thanks.
Just wondering if anyone is working on any cooked roms based on the newley released TMOUS WM6.5 for the TP2? If there are some already out there please point me in the right direction. I have searched, but don't find any unless I am looking in the wrong spot. Let me know. Thanks
Also would be interested in opening my own kitchen and start cooking. I plan on making a few for the TP2 and the new HD2 from T-mobile. Pointers would be appreciated.

Hi Suavecito1177 and welcome to XDA, many of the ROMS here are based on the latest microsoft builds (The 28*** and the 23***) 6.5.X
You may find a ROM with packages (Apps, data themes ETC....) from a Tmo US ROM, i am unsure, but if you are going to start cooking that is great

Hello,
I'm sorry, I think this question has been asked many times.
How to port the HD2's official ROM (sys and soft) on the HD1?
I am aware that I will have to integrate the drivers from the HD1.
Thanks!
PS: Sorry for my english.
Just look for roms that include HTC Sense 2.5
This is the manila that is used on the HD2. I have tried Duttys and Energy's 2.5 Roms and both run down the battery a lot quicker than HTC Sense 2.1
Its personal choice, i like 2.5 but cant realisticly use it unless the battery life can be increased. Hope this helps

I'm looking for a french 6.5(.x) rom but the choice is very very limited.
And those available are too modified...
That 's why I want to port the official HD2's ROM to the HD1.
Thanks!

Hi.
This is very common question. If you say "how to port...", then the answer is read this forum. If you don't quite satisfy with the ROM cooked by chefs here, I suggest you start to read about "how to cook..." which can be found in this forum. That way you can cook ROM as you want.
Don't take this wrong way my friend, but you should ask the forum rule before create new thread otherwise will be closed by Mod.
Cheers.
Hey guys, where could I find the latest ROM version for HTC TouchPRO 2 (Rhodium 300) shipped from HTC? I have a Tilt2 from AT&T, is it posible to run this ROM in this phone?
Thanks in advance ...
There are threads on official ROMs here, as well as the "cooked" ROMs. Also check the Wiki, at http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Rhodium/Shipped_Roms
If you install HardSPL, then you can install other official GSM ROMs as well as those official ones specifically designed for your model/carrier/branding.

If he's got a Tilt2, then I don't think the official HTC site will let him download an official HTC ROM, because those are designed for HTC-branded phones.
you can download it here http://www.htc.com/sea/supportdownloadlist.aspx?p_id=250&act=sd&cat=all it will ask for your serial # to download.
There is a problem ...
The problem is that my phone serial number doesn't let me download the ROM, I'm not sure if it's possible to run a ROM from a HTC branded Rhodium 300 on a AT&T Tilt 2, even though they're the same device, and where can I download the ROM without a serial number, because I've been reading the Wiki and there is no post for that device (RHOD300).
Thanks you guys for your answers.

If you have HardSPL, then *any* official *GSM* ROM will work on your device (though you may need to install a cab to map the keyboard). So RHOD100/200/300 ROMs will all work on the Tilt 2. There are links to places to get official ROMs on this forum, try a search.
Did the RHOD100 ROM work for you?
I haven't tried ...
I've been around the Wiki but there's no RHOD300 ROM, and I don't want to try the RHOD100 one because is not the same device, time ago I had trouble doing that with my Kaiser, if anyone knows about a link to a RHOD300 ROM (HTC) it would be much appreciated.
I heard something about an update from Verizon for TouchPRO2 users, hopefully there's one from AT&T in his way ...

Don't count on ATT doing any update. You can run any gsm rhodium rom as long as you have hard spl.

That's what i'm talking about, i'm gonna give it a try ... thanks bro!!!

Just to let you know (and anyone else who is interested), I flashed the RHOD100 ROM on my AT&T branded Tilt 2, and it works perfectly. You can download the ROM here: http://rapidshare.com/files/2924648...Radio_Rhodium_4.49.25.17_Signed_Ship.exe.html
It's the OEM unbranded Touch Pro 2 ROM, like I said, no problems what-so-ever with my Tilt 2, I've been using it for a good 2 days now. I wanted the exact same thing you did, and trust me, I'm happy with it! Good luck

Yes, if you flash a generic HTC ROM, then you will need a cab to map your non-generic (i.e. AT&T) keyboard.

In your opinion, between the three types of ROM, which one is more stable? Which one is better? I'm using the Sense 2.1 and it has a couple of bugs with the music tab, and some other that i don't remember right now, but i want to know what to use in order to avoid this little bugs.
To be honest, they all suck. But if you work on them with brain, all of them can be great. I suggest that you start with the Rhodium S.
Thanks for the advice ...
Yesterday I flashed the Rhodium_S2_HTC_Europe_2.07.401.1_Radio_Rhodium_4.49.25.91 ROM on my phone and i'm lovin' it, it was a good choice, the new Sense 2.5 has some improvements that make the Tilt2 an awesome phone, that's what i think ...
sorry to dig up an old thread, I have a stock tilt 2 (at&t) that has not had the hard spl done to it and wanted to know if I use Rhodium_S2_HTC_Europe_2.07.401.1_Radio_Rhodium_4.4 9.25.91 would I have to hardspl it or no because its an htc release?
