Manila 2D is out

Hi There,
seems that manila 2D QVGA is out. You can find roms for other device (trinity, polaris ecc) already included it.
Who will be the first to cook an artemis rom with this stuff?
The race started!
Thank YOu
Bye

I'm totally new on cooking ROMS and I've seen the great work that our friend did on creating the Vanilla ROMS...
I'm thinking about starting to cook my own ROMs and post them here for everyone...
Any suggestions on where I can get the Manila 2D to use on an Artemis ROM?
I would love to start with something this great...
UHM... I don't know where get it, but I've read a lot more and seems that 3d hardware is needed... in that case, no manila 2d for artemis.

cab is out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2634199&postcount=166
I have tried the new cab, but with this version my SPB Now screen doesn't work anymore. When I remove the cab file, SPB Now works again.
Link is broken...
Is there any other way to get the cab?
check this section: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=260
Its getting bigger and bigger though that package and it will make your device kinda slowish as it is now.
The keyboard is nice though from it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=426281. I noticed some performance lag with the other keypad that was made with the diamond as base.
The manila 2d works good on Artemis xD
The other stuff at the ppc will be a little slow :O
batterystatus overclocking don't work so its extra slow.
Damn...Maybe if we open Manilla 2D and try to optimize it for Artemis?
What language was it programmed with?
most info can be found and modified in the xml file from what people said
If so, we should try to work on that...
BTW, anyone knows if Artemis Screen supports 640x480 resolutions?
artemis is QVGA meaning quarter VGA (vga = 640x480 / 480x640) in resolution.
So that is 320x280 or 280x320. Applications made for VGA resolution wont work afaik.
Thks for the info, Zetsumei...
I didn't know how it worked....
Hi,
after my tests:
1st: B&B 5 pretty loaded with stuff + Manilla2D = death, too slow even for snail.
2nd: Oops Black v1 clean + Manilla2D = late reaction, lags, very slow start.
I'll go back to my B&B5 with stuff and wait for complete rom with Manilla2D (instead of HHS). Maybe We can count for now B&B rom with Manilla2D included...who knows.
I'm reading some tutorials on how to cook, I'll try to get Vanilla 4.01 and take HHS out and put Manilla2D in it...Let's see how it will work...
I'll make sure to get everyone updated about it...If anyone want to help me, send me a PM.

so what about windows mobile 6.5

if you need nonstable wm6, then you should buy htc blue angel for now

well ... not sure about this stage.. ms is stating, that wm6.5 will finally go public in feb..
there's no proof that wm6.5 will run on our trinitys.. it was already hard work to get wm6.1 run on it and i guess if stuff like drivers and more are different from our device, wm6.5 probably wont ever run on trinity ... without promising, but there are already ppl trying to get 6.5 to run on their devices, so i guess if we have a hermes or kaiser with 6.5 there wont be a that hard way to get i run on trinity.
but if you compare xp to vista, i guess 6.5 will need more ram than 6.1 - so that might be another issue to adress to..
i don't know if any cook has already started experimenting on wm6.5 .. i guess its not a good idea to start at this stage or wait for the final..

Trinity ROM WM6.5 (BETA-V46) CHO HTC TRINITY

Beta 47 initial review
Although i am not a big fan of M2D, and V47 is M2D rom, I am going to give it a try. I am running it for few minutes only, so i can't give any real feedback, besides the obvious. First- WM6.5 (M2D off) takes about 28M RAM, and since the page pool is set to 6M, there are only 48M RAM to begin with. This gives only 20M of free RAM. Kind of low than i want, but considering WM6.5 it was expected. With M2D on (as set as default) there are only 12M free RAM. That is BEFORE trying to have anything else, or changing tabs...
Phone wakes up with wrong time and date (not a big deal) , and finds the right network nice (I am in the US). One graphic bug is obvious- task manager and X button are too big, and cover the clock on the top right corner of the upper bar.
Free memory (applications) after installation (nothing added) is 48.22M total, of which 4.74M are taken. Pretty low, considering other roms with 70M. I guess M2D and the new WM are bigger.
I have changed page pool to 4M, gaining extra 2M RAM, and it seems to be stable and fast enough for my needs. 51M RAM, of which 18.55M free with M2D on, and 20M RAM.
The next step I took was trying to sync time using the tool called 'Synchro time'. As soon as I did, a pop-up message told me the rom is a 7 day trial, and right after that I have a 'screen of death' on my phone telling me: "that concludes the beta test of the software..."
I don't know if this is because of the time sync or not. I had to hard reset the phone and start all over, hoping it will not happen again that soon..
I let M2D run, not doing anything on the phone. After 15 minutes I was left with 12M of free RAM. I have installed SKTools, set shadow RAM cleaning, and optimized for maximum memory. Soft reset the phone and it starts with 18.46M free RAM with M2D, 20.51M without. Too low for my taste. using free-up RAM by SKTools gives 23M free if M2D is off.
As for the bee-hive shape of WM6.5 - I find it annoying. applications change location on you, and there is not logical sequence where they will be. I had to scroll 3 pages to find an application, and the scroll isn't smooth. Also- on pop-up windows - the OK button on the top right is missing, but pushing the corner where it suppose to be do close them up.
I am installing email accounts, and will let you know how it goes.. I don't think i will keep it, because it is a memory hog rom, although stable and performance is not too bad.
BigE
Test is over... after 1 hour
Ok folks, memory management of this rom is horrible. I don't know if it WM6.5, or the M2D, but for sure it is impossible to have only 8M RAM free after one hour of use. All i have done was connect to an exchange server, and have made nothing else. Kept the phone aside and looked at memory after an hour. Dropped from 18M to 8M and I think after enough time it would have crashed. it seems memory leaks.
I would be very afraid to leave home with this rom. first it 'expire'. Then it leaks memory, and third the WM6.5 is not my cup of tea at all. I hate the bee-hive and the way it moves on the phone. Only way to organize it is to create folders and move shortcuts around. WM6.5 has some nice tabs and scroll bars, but it does not justify the rest. IMHO it is a draw back from WM6.1 , even if 6.1 isn't perfect at least it works and I know how to work around the bugs. 6.5 is not for trinity, I am afraid...
Ah, there are also at least one shortcut (getting started) that does not work for me (error message trying to run).
Well, it is BETA for a reason, but knowing PDAViet, I would say he tried the impossible and was almost doing a good job. As for myself- i am back to FinixOver 3.7UL and pointui2 as plugin. Quick, 30M free RAM, nice animation and stable like I need. RAM do not leak, and phone is running smooth.
Was it a complete waste of time to try? No, I have learned some good lesson. Will be very suspicious with other WM6.5 roms..
BigE
Additional feedback
Agreeing with all BigE said above, I add:
1) No video call in dialer.
2) "getting started" app does not work.
3) The "titanium" today plug-in is having many of Manilla-2d functionality with (a little) less memory consumption.
4) Uniting advanced power and backlight setting to one screen is (at last) very well welcomed.
5)memory...memory...memory.
I concur with the above findings. It is unfortunately not very responsive. I guess the overhead is too much for our Trinity.
The ROM lags terribly. However, I still appreciate the effort made by PDAViet.

I agree with u chanvi93.
I'm waiting 4 your next wwe release.
Thanx master.
WM6.5
Chanvi93,
Your roms are superb, no doubt, and you are right I am judging WM6.5 by one rom I tried and did not like. So let's hope what we have tried and failed isn't because of 6.5.
Can we hope for super lite WM6.5 rom ? I have tried yours, and have to admit, I liked them much but m2d isn't the right plug-in for me, especially after using pointui home2. So a naked WM6.5 rom WWE sound promising.
looking forward for your rom

Thanks for that Chanvi, I was indeed getting depressed reading this thread! Looking forward to your 6.5 build. Have you decided if you are going to include footprints or not? From what I can see, Iolite / Footprint is asking a lot of our humble Trinities. Previous Manila version has better performance maybe?

Hello
It's done in my threat , 2 versions : Full with Footprint components and Lite without .
Footprint is a great soft for great traveller as me , i use it daily in work , don't need Manila for it so it don't use more ram if you don't launch .
@BigE
Super lite in wm 6.5 is not very good because some short cut and little softs are necessary for use .
not for this thread but anyways
have just flashed Chanvi's 3/8 Wm6.5 lite rom. I will report my testing on his thread, as this one is for PDAViet rom.
See you there in few hours I guess.

someone can upload some screenshot???

Native WM6.5 nk.exe for Diamond?

Hi guys,
I see a lot of devices getting native nk.exe for WM6.5. When we could expect one for diamond?
Thanks
I second that! When can we expect such a nk.exe?
I would be interested too =)
I guess I would be too...
What is it lol.
i would like to see that happen on Diamond too
also very interested would be great... *PUSH*
Hopefully it'll be out soon...!
hi
i dont think htc is releasing wm 6.5 for the touch diamond atleast what i been hearing from the other threads here, it said something along the lines that the diamond 1 wont have wm 6.5 so it wont have nk.exe 6.5 thingy :/
By any chance, do you think that a native 6.5 nk.exe from Raphael would be ok on Diamond ?
It seems that HTC has port 6.5 on it ...

The new TF3D on my windows 6.1

Hi ive been searching the forums trying 2 find the new touchflo 3d to install on my my blackstone and i cant find it i wonder if any would could point me in the right direction so i can install the new 2.5 touchflo on my devices
cheers callum
TouchFLo 2.5 isn't ready for actual use yet. You'll have to wait a little while longer until a lot of bugs are worked out. Just keep an eye on the ROMZ section as I'm sure it will pop up soon enough. There is a rom out right now that has TouchFLo 2.5 in it but GSM is crippled so you cannot send text messages as well as some other problems. There is a link in this thread to a cooked ROM with touchflo 2.5 if you want to try it out.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=530584&page=3
Thanks for the replay i want the same touchflo version on miris 6.5 rom which is the same as the touch diamond 2 is that version availble 2 install on 6.1
cheers callum
The most up to date version of manila that I have seen cooked into roms is TouchFLo v2.1, but I have not seen this available as a cab. Then again, I never look for cab versions of TouchFlo. I personally use Dutty's 3.9XT Turbo rom. It is WM6.1 and is available with manila V2.1. Great rom, fast, and stable. Sorry I can't tell you where to find a .cab file for touchflo v2.1 though.
Thanks for your reply il look for a .cab. i flashed miris 6.5 which had manila but i found that if made the camera a lot pixely maybe it was just me so i flash back to the htc wm6.1 im a bit gutted that the htc touch hd is not getting the 6.5 upgrade and was thinking of selling a getting a diamond 2
cheers callum
Manilla Cab
Really not sure u can find one with that, also do you know how big a
cab file with that would be? will take 1hour to install it!
but good luck and hope u find what u looking for..
Obalia73
No CAB for Manilla 2.0 or 2.1. Never has been, probably never will be. Only ever seen it cooked into the ROM.
