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.

Hey there,
Am I wrong that there are wm 6.5 betas out there? Where can I get it?
Is there a Manila version for it too?
Bye,
Chris
Hi yes there are WM6.5 Betas about but we need the HardSPL first. Im just waiting for the official release from HTC which will be WM6.5 and TF3D2.5 as i have a retail TP2. Not sure when this will be but hopfully sooner than later.
Once HardSPL has been released im sure there will be lots of chefs cooking WM6.5 Beta ROM for our TP2s
Please read and search before simply asking a question.

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.

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?
Bruce Inman/Drag-On,
Thanks for your reply and I will try with the cooked ROM.

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.
Searching everywhere i could not find a single thread dedicated for
blackstone windows mobile 6.1 ROMS
in different threads around i found out that a lot of people still prefer 6.1 versions of blackstone roms for its speed and reliability and I did try several ROMs for different cookers using 6.5 and 6.1 and i have to admit that microsoft windows mobile 6.5 is a great disappointment for a lot of people including myself ... its not the cookers its that windows mobile OS 6.5 sucks ...
therefore i have decided to create this thread to be the place to find the latest 6.1 ROM for our beloved blackstone and i hope we can find new ones here ... cookers stopped developing 6.1 for months now they say it is becoming something of the past and 6.5 is getting more and more builds everyday and trying each one requires flashing several times and it takes time so there is no more time for cooking 6.1 ROMs 6.1 that our blackstone was designed for ! and runs it so smoothly and faster than any ROM around ... looking at the benchmark you will find the first 20 to 25 fastest ROMs are running 6.1 !!
the latest 6.1 ROM i found is Topix 3.1.2 Oct.28.2009 not even in a thread of its own to separate it from 6.5 discussions it is a perfect ROM but I would love to run a 6.1 from NRG or Miri created in 2010 !
+1 support.specialy l26 ultimate v4 rom maybe with 6.1..
I think you need to try = TOPAZ Vanilla WM 6.1

- Riphone 1.14

I did but i prefer Topix ... it is more stable and facebook doesnt crash manila at all and you do not need to edit registries for it to work
how about Laurentius ROM 3.55? even it's old but seems very promising
Just to remind you that ROMs are on Wiki:

making a new 6.1 rom for blackstone or asking cookers to keep developing this version of windows mobile for black stone is a "Blackstone ROM development"
thank you
I for one would also be interested in more WM6.1 development.
I got lost with all this 6.5 and Sense stuff, was going to sell the HD is was so slow and annoying, flashed to Topix 6.1 and WOW, I had forgotten how fast the HD was...
Bring on some more 6.1 development PLEASE
topix wm6.1 is the way to go.
alas, if someone release a better (e.g. more preconfigured ) rom, i bet they would get lots of followers simply because the speed of wm6.1 is awesome
can someone posts an (active) link for a 6.1 ROM without Manila? the only i know is the Superlite by Onkolog but the link is dead...and i don't want thousand useless Manila files(over 40mb) on my HD, better MS3 for me...thanks
+1 for more wm6.1 roms, it seems that this is the OS which will bring the best out of this device.

Really a question for the Chefs.
Guys,
There maybe a few issues with this.
I'm not 100% sure but I don't think MS has released any updated builds of v6.1 (Could be wrong) that our beloved chefs could get their hands on.
Not that I have any cooking skills but I would think that all our chefs have modded their kitchens to deal with v6.5.xx and may not be willing to take, what they may see, as a step back.
This of course is just my humble opinion but I guess the most likely thing to do would be to ask the chefs themselves.

I'm totally with you on that. I never use Manila when MS3 is so nice.
I do appreciate that cookers want to try and fit in the latest and greatest, but it seems to me the latest and greatest is just going to get slower and slower. The HD is great and all, but speedwise it's not much better than the ancient Blue Angel. Heh, thinking that makes me want to see if I still have an old BA lying around and see how IT handles 6.5!
In any case it seems fairly evident that 6.5 has some speed issues compared to 6.1. Now I have no idea personally why that is, whether it's just Manila or the OS itself. Regardless it'd be nice if 6.1 wasn't forgotten all together.

the latest build is 21055 as shown in the screen shot from topix rom 3.1.2 but this Rom has manila 2.1 ... it works fast as nothing else and the manila version without weather animation is very decent but you are asking for a rom without manila
this is one of the reasons I wanted this thread ! we do not even have a clean version of our favorite os with the latest build only manila versions
More 6.1 roms, 6.5 (sense) roms are not made for Blackstone!
ok, sense is looking cool, but why cant some one make 6.1 rom with colors at the tab. and just make it for speed and everyday use. no fancy stuff! FAST FAST FAST!
roms with 6.5 have 50% rom use. 6.1 roms have 32% rom use.. big differens i think..
hi,
i was confuse to pick the ROM, because after i failed upgrade my touch diamond 2 and its become a dead brick phone.
so i get the touch diamond. and i really wanna upgrade to WM 6.5.x with sense 2.x
can someone give me advice which ROM is stable? because I fear the my TD2 incident will be repeated
I really appreciate every response.
I don't personally advice you Sense 2.5 because it is too slow for the diamond, try to look out for a sense 2.1 ROM. I'm currently using the Back To Basics ROM, it is IMO the most stable and fast ROM with Sense 2.1 & winmo 6.5 on the diamond. here is the link :
