yes it should,

Great work
I found Black 2.0 is more stable than 2.5, hope that 3.0 will be more stable than these two.

I am assuming that this will replace HTweakC in future black releases.
can't wait for Black 3.0 to hit the streets!

Thanks.
Keep up the great work

I've read somthing regarding HTC TouchFLO 2 under the code name "Manila", anyone with it's hands on it?

Manila won´t work on the Artemis. It needs grafik Hardware and a lot of CPU Power.

Hi meer
So do we know what it is for

But are you aware of the resources it needs to work?
I remember wen it was for the 1st version many persons were saying exactly the same, but these guys made it happen!!
I say it would be great to give it a test drive!

It seems that it is the 2nd version of the Cube that HTC made.
By the images seems great! I just can't wait to give it a test drive.

Another alternative

I have just tried this on my orbit and removed it because I couldn't manage to configure it with touchflo.
But I saw enough to be impressed. It seems to be the same as the standard HTC cube, but with an extra side containing 12 launcher buttons. Now if we could have a cooked rom including this cube, that would be excellent. The cube would then be a really useful tool, not just a toy.
Is this possible??

Try this by dobb guys - qvga manilla http://rapidshare.com/files/90365026/Manila.zip.html

Work in progress to produce a 4 sided cube for artemis

Excellent!!

Alternative Cube
That cube isnt anoter version of HTCs hence not being able to use the HTC tool to configure it. HTC uses a "fake" cube (it only has 3 sides for starters!!). This one is a true 3D (open GL cube).
There is a seperate config program and I think all the settings are in an XML file if you want to do it the old-fashioned way!
Download Config Program

Yesterday I read about Nvidia's new APX 2500 processor which I understand is being built into new HTC phones. Some say the first phones with this processor might ship this year. Manila wouldn't be such a challenge for it like our little Omaps. That's my currenty theory what it's inteded for.

The WM 6.1 look without the ROM. (For simple people)

Hello everyone,
I have been experimenting with the WM 6.1 ROM's, like a lot of you, but I have not been completely satisfied with any yet. I am no developer or anything of that such.
This post is for those of you who just want to change your homescreen look and a few minor things, to get rid of that WM 6 look.
I have attached a few .CAB files as well as a black theme.
You will have to extract the HTC_New_default.tsk file to your WM devices "Windows" folder. It will then show up on your themes as HTC default.
These files may have been posted in another thread, but I am starting this thread just to be simple. Feel free to add your HTC .CAB's as well.

Here is a .CAB for the black dialpad.

nice dude!! simple enough

Awesome bro.

Nice Try. At least all those people with no satisfying result or are afraid of upgrading can take help from this work of yours to taste the new interface including the Home Screen Plug-in
Keep the good work up

One question. Is this extract for 3g dialor also make 2g dialor to 3g dialor assuming I have activated the 3g in Advance Configuration Tool

interesting idea for those that "arent happy" with 6.1 or cant get it to work.
You should re-title it though to "I cant believe its not 6.1"

I'm digging it. I also feel the same way... most 6.1 roms are fast right after install but after really using the phone for a week it turns into a turd pretty quick, especialy if you install a lot of apps.
Been using original HTC 6.0 WWE rom without issues for quite some time. I try about every new rom when they come out but I always go back to this one for reliability.
BTW: What com manager you using? Thanks!! GOOD WORK!
Here is the boot screen that I use. Makes it feel more like 6.1 Copy to windows folder on device. Overwrite the old one.
-Enjoy

you'd better make your own "welcome screen" so you can add your own touch in it as a part of the customization you do after flashing a new ROM but it case you like the pre defined ones, here is one from PDA-Corner that I also like.
I hope I'm not breaking the law od copyrights by posting this (please tell me if I do)

Take that WM B*#ch!

That's got to be worth a

speaking seriously, it's better to say about port of 2.6 manila, which is much easier and real.
as I'd not say as for the moment, that android can easily replace windows mobile. as an os for just phone - ok, for mobile pc - not at all.
if say about port of 2.6 manila - it's already has been done for topaz, for example. thus, the final goal is just to resize it to vga, mostly

love it . it is easier than I thought .
Anyway, I also think porting manila 2.6 might be easier but not as charming and a parallel VGA project on porting Hero is interesting

TF3D (whatever version) is HTCs' own solution to sell their hardware, covering the ugliness that WM is. They know it, that's why with every version Manilla goes deeper and deeper into WM, replacing more and more UI and features.
Can't compare TF3D and Android. Android is not a User Interface replacement. So the skill and knowledge that goes into porting these two thins are vastly different

I tried to install this on my diamond and it freezes when :
booting linux..
is complete , and stay in it!
bye!
PS :I think to port android is MUCH better than to port manila.
Sense UI is show!!!

I would agree - tf3d has been designed by htc and it looks like theyre definately sticking to the whole concept. If you guys want to try out something similar to the hero interface on windows mobile give pointui a try out - its the mst stable senseui copy ive tried (install pointui and then search senseui on the forums). each page is heavily customisable as in android as well

Old programs with 6.5.3

I appears that in order from myself and possibly others to move onto the 6.5.3 Rom's it's a problem, because it causes older programs not to work. My slingbox ver. 1.6 won't work and graphics are missing. In order for me to use slingbox ver. 2.0 which will work I have to by a newer slingbox cause my older box is not compatable. What was changed in 6.5.3 and is there any fix? For anyone willing to look at the two slingbox cabs I willing to post them upon request, a comparison of the cabs might produce a fix for these Roms?

Is 6.5.3 using a different compact frame work other than 3.5? May be 3.7 only. If so can a older frame work such as 2.0 be installed along with it so older programs will still run?

I don't know about slingbox -- never used it.
But I haven't had any problems running lots of old programs (including one I got back in WM5.0 days) on a WM6.5.3 or W6.5.5 based rom.
There are situations where the old apps don't have a way to close them because there's no longer a close-x at the top of the screen. So I just get out of them via Home or Start or Back key and then close the app with Taskmanager.
I haven't had to install/uninstall/change .net compact framework on any custom rom. Whichever one is included has worked for me/my programs.

Thanks you, that was very helpful.

I made some alterations in the SlingPlayer.exe 1.6 version to at least look better in my phone!
