New User on Touch Pro

Hi all,
I am a new user to PDA phones and I have read through the wiki about this cell,
but I still have sth to ask.
1. What is Manila?
2. How can configure or add themes and tab icons in the TF3D?
Please give me a hand in starting to know more about the machine, Thx

Someone can expand or correct, this is just how I understand it to be.
1. Manilla\Rhodium = TouchFlo3d interface from HTC. It will be called TF3d as well.
Titanium = Windows Mobile 6.5 overlay that is turned on and off via Start\Settings\Today\Items\Windows Default
2. use TF3d to search. So search 'add tabs tf3d' and see if that helps.

Thanks for the answer,
I also see that there is a lot of topics about err,
upgrading the official ROMs into Custom made ROMs,
Is there anything I should notice about upgrading ROMs,
and also wt is the advantage of using 'em?

read the stickies and make sure you know what are the steps to follow to flash a rom. follow them literally. if you don't you might "brick" your phone. when u get used to flashing, the process will be easy to follow, just take your time getting used to WinMo before flashing.

Moving from a stock ROm to a Custom ROM is easy and worth the 'risk' in my opinion. You can find all you need within the Wiki to get started with the flashing of HARDSPL. You will then choose a custom ROM and then flash that ROM to your device. You will lose all data on the phone so make sure you sync before you start.
I personally am using the Energy Rom 3.0 series and I like it.
A cooked ROM or a custom ROM is created by a person (usually with a ROM kitchen) and it removes items the cook thinks are not needed and they often add in tweaks, programs and graphical enhancements.
Some people are looking for a custom ROM that makes their device fast, while others are looking to maximize their TouchFlo3D experience. I persoanlly use Energy ROM because it is Windows Mobile 6.5, it contains Titanium (the WM6.5 touch friendly interface) and because the cook put in plenty of programs and tweaks that I would do on my own.
After I install the ROM, I do go through and install all my own programs. Not every cooked ROM will match your own needs so that is when people begin cooking their own ROM within a kitchen.
I have downloaded the kitchen and attempted to cook a ROM but I find using someone else's is a bit easier.
MSVC is Microsoft Voice Command. So when you are looking for ROMS you might see that acronym.

Is there an IDEAL 6.5 ROM

Hi, I have seen poeople on here ask time and time again "which is the best ROM" which for me is a pointless subjective question. However I would like to ask something similar. I have been trying 6.5 ROMS for a while now based on the 6.5.3 build (start button at the bottom). All roms I have tried have had the faults, not one has been 100% yet.
I dont want loads of apps and tweaks really, nothing fancy, all I want is a fast stable ROM where all the basic stuff works as it should. I dont need eye candy or invisible this or that, just a ROM as if it came out as a stock 6.5 HD rom.
Is there such a ROM I wonder?

1. There is no stock WM6.5 ROM for HD
2. If you want stock ROM, you can use stock ROM, all other ROMs are tweaked ROMs according to Chief's taste. Almost everybody wants newest stuff, so Chiefs are making ROMs with newest builds so it's logical that in every ROM there are some bugs. If you want some fastest and most bug-free ROM I suggest you to use something based on WM6.1 or even stock ROM if you really want "a fast stable ROM where all the basic stuff works as it should"

If your looking for a wm6.5 rom close to stock, then you should try Miri's, very little done to it

hi, i've used EnergyROM for ages, but realized that is not for me. Most people say that energy rom is the top - ideal ROM.
yes, the ROM was good, but after some months i realized that i need someting more proffesional - not a fancy eye candy rom with lot of apps. i must flash the new energy rom circa once a month, because of laggs.
so, i tried Miri ROM and i can say that is the best ROM i've ever tried. Pretty clean, like normal windowz, without frickin effects... i don't flash every month because is very quick (still is, with a month old build)
Miri ROM, nothing more

Point to updating ROM?

I have been browsing through the forums here for a couple of days, and I see a lot of ROMs for everything from WM6.5 to Google Android. I also see threads about updated radios that I have not read much into yet. Presently I am quite happy with my phone, WM6.1 + SPB 3.5 shell. My Kaiser is as follows:
ROM: 3.57.502.2 WWE (07/17/08)
Radio: 1.65.21.18
So I was just wondering, is there any practical advantage to a new ROM other than having a new interface and/or new software?

Well, cooked ROMs are generally MUCH faster than regular stock ones, and they also have more features or programs that are usefull compared to the stock bloatware that is a normal ROM.

Well, personally I understand your point here and your concern about what is the added value to flash/update to a new rom version. My personal suggestion to you is that you back up your current data and try a couple of cooked roms and that you experience if there is some improvement in the new rom that you picked.

If you are happy, leave the phone alone.

Have fun flashing

Just be sure to remember that if your phone is still under warranty , that flashing a custom rom will void this warranty. If your phone breaks or crashes, AT$T and HTC will not fix it with a custom rom or spl on it. There are ways to get it back to warranty-able condition, but it is not as easy as just reflashing the stock rom.

CHT on 6.1?

Happy Thanksgiving guys! Been thankful for the helpful tips and tricks with my lovely X1 I bought last year's Black Friday event!
Quick question.
How do I get Cookie's Home Tab to work on my Win6.1 platform? I read on that you need Manila or Sense 2.5, any download links for those will help. Search function, yes, but I dont know which one pertaining to 6.1!
Thanks in advance

Maybe I'm wrong but I guess you'll need to flash another ROM incl. Sense... AFAIK Sense is not available as "installable application".
1. hardSPL
2. download new ROM (e.g. Energy ROM, see link in my signature)
3. flash from SD (instructions here)

^Thanks, just got it done yesterday. Installed Valkyrie rom, but it came with outdated 1.8 ver. instead of 2.0 D:

Valkyrie is a bit dead rom meaning that agent is developing only if major updates take place. I was ex-valkyrie-fun. However I believe that he has released a rom with cht2 (at least beta version).
why dont u try energy rom? it has for sure what you need...

I switched from Valkyrie to 826x. 826x had no additional add-ons, just the ROM upgrade, so it was really convenient to switch. Now running CHT + Editor 2.0.0.
Still trying to get use to the low battery fluctuations compared to a Stock ROM, but loving the new interface and programs it can run now!

number part of qwerty not working in Energy ROM :(

this Energy ROM seems very good.BUT: why if I press the numbers on qwerty with FN then only signs like (!*/ etc appear ? So I have to use on-screen keyboard for numbers, what a fail! I didn't mess with nor find any setting for that!
Tried 21916 and 29022 version of the standard ROM and it's the same issue
Can't post in the ROM's thread as I'm new user

Well read in the ROM thread that just those last versions have this keyboard bug and the creator seemingly does not have time to fix this
what other WM 6.5 - finger friendly - not too slow - bug-free ROM to use ?

I'm trying the 826X rom ... It's my first flashed rom, so I don't have much experience but I'm very comfortable with it and it's very stable and fast ... even faster than the normal win 6.5 and with much better look ... give it a try and u might find ur solution

thanks, I've already installed the826x too and it seems best (of those with sense at least) as many others agree
