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 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.

Hi Bob, Im just 13 years old, but I'll try to help you my best. Go to htpp.forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=36062 to unlock your phone, to run custom 6.5 roms. For roms you can check the site I gave you, and soon I will be releasing a rom. With 6.5, Manila Sense 2.5 2012, and a lot of the new features. When it is released, you will find it in the CDMA Diamond Sections. Hope I helped. Regards, ZALI
Maybe I'm the only person ever to ask this seems how a search brings up everything but, I would like sense 2.5 but i dont want all the other stuff that is different about the roms that people cook. Has anyone cooked a rom that the only difference from their cooked rom and the OEM rom is that it has sense 2.5? This is what I'm looking for can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks,
Luke
Oh yeah the type of OEM like rom I'm looking for is for ATT tilt 2, Yes I want the ATT bloatware that comes with it.
HTC have some official ROMs with Sense 2.5 I believe, though that won't have the AT&T stuff obviously.
sense 2.5 requires alot of new dependency pkgs, so just replacing say att 2.1 manila with 2.5 doesnt work. htc has released official rhodium roms with sense 2.5, just do a search for rhodium 2.07 europe or check the wiki. also you can learn how to cook your own rom, if you are interested go over to Chef Central and do some reading if you have any questions we will try to help you all we can.
thread closed, not rom development

Make sure you use a rom that is compatible. You are in the GSM forum. The World version (Sprint)--cdma/gsm is in: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=517

You need to find a CDMA ROM; this is a GSM forum. But what you want is Sense 2.5 or 2.1. NRG has a CDMA version.
