Touchflow hd theme? You mean tf3d aka manilla? If yes, you need this in your wm 6.5 ROM.

ahh cool. but i guess the 6.5 ROM dont come with the Manilla theme, so i mean i can insert it later on and change it over from normal 6.5 theme to Manilla ?
thanks mate for reply to the thread.
TF3D is kind of operating system overlay, not a theme. It needs to be cooked in to the rom to have it on your phone. You can't add it later. Most roms have it already, though many rom makers offer 'lite' versions of their roms which might not have TF3D (or manila). The only way to know is to take a look at the rom you're interested in's thread and see which version is right for you.

ahh cool good to know. im just about to buy HTC HD, I like Iphone but i would preffer winmob for myself as i know what is what.
another question: my phone will be locked in Orange so a rom upgrade will do sim unlock.
if not then if i pay to get my sim unlocked then if i do ROM upgrade will it make it locked again?
or sim unlock is just a one off thing and it will go unlock forever?
cheers
I'm on Orange too, and I've flashed a custom rom (Dutty R4 currently). This does not unlock the phone (just tried an O2 sim card and got 'network locked' message), you'll have to get Orange to unlock it for you. It should then be unlocked regardless of which rom you flash or how many times you change rom on it.

Hi,
With the new release of the htc original roms, I would like to know (and I am sure other people to) if it is possible to add touchflow and bioscroll.
I am running on the french original WM6 and really would like to add this feature.
I tried tom's new touchflow here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1476257&postcount=21 but it didn't seem to do the trick.
i am not really interested in the cube but just the scoll option.
Thanks
Me too for the dutch rom!
I thought it needed to be cooked in the rom. You can not install it later on with a cab. Any cookers who can confirm this? Or correct me if i'm wrong
Just one simple example:
There is an HTC_Camera 4.11 CAB file around here.
When you try to install it just by running it on your devices your camera will never work till you hard reset it.
But when I include the same cab file in to a rom it works perfect.
ok so it has to be cooked, damn, too bad, i'll have to statr learning how to cook then

if you need scroll maybe you can try Scroll With Your Fingers i never test it
Hi,
First, I have a question about cooking ROMs. A ROM is made of the Windows Mobile OS and some Applications, right? So where do you get the OS included in cooked ROMs. I would like to have a ROM with WM only. Like a formated PC with the OS installed after the first boot. This status I would like to have on my Touch Diamond. Does anyone know how to get this working?
I ask because I've seen a cooked ROM with CE OS 5.2.21042 and on my TD i have version 5.2.20764, but Windows Update reports, that no updates are available.
Felix
if you want a rom with nothing preloaded check out swtos's thread...
but with nothing loaded is barely usable (i'm talking about not having tf3d)
goto settings/today and disable Touchflo... thats what 'bare WM' would look like... and function like...
And is there any possibility to get just a wm update, that I have the newer OS Build, but without having to flash a new ROM?
no, just flash the new 6.5 rom, there is one with 120mb free which sounds like what you are after
Which one do you mean? There are many 6.5 ROMs

if u just spend abour 1min reading thru the main headlines, u should already see it.
Well they are all not really what i am looking for, but thanks for the suggestions. I still have one question left: Where do ROM cookers get the OS the build in their ROMs?
usually xda-member posts both XIP and SYS of the latest build.
usually after rom cookers release their ROM first.
Ok thanks.

Files inside TF3D is called or named, Manila, so you need to know what version of TF3D you are using. Go to your Settings Tab, then About and you can see what version of TF3D you are using.

Hey,
I definitely understand your confusion. I'm absolutely no newcomer to Windows Mobile, but I was pretty baffled when I arrived here after a few years gone.
Let's see if I help you somewhat...

You propably use Manila v2.0, which means that themes for Manila v2.1 and v3, are not compatible with your device.
BUT!
First off, you should take a look at giving your phone a new ROM.
The kitchen cooks for TouchHD here on xda, are FABOLOUS! Right now, your Touch HD is slow as hell. Try and swipe the menus. Notice the lags. Enter the application pane. Swipe up and down. See?
The kitchen cooked ROMs in here, replaces the one you have - and gives you up to 20x faster performance (no kidding, and no exhaggeration).
I myself, use Laurentius26 v3.55 (www.laurentius26.net -- you have to become member of his website to download the rom, but it's all free, so don't worry).
Most people like Dutty's ROMs also - they're great too!
No matter what you choose, I promise you'll feel that your Touch HD has transformed into a speed monster. Especially in the menus!
Oh yeah - and as a side dish, you get the newest version of Manila and TouchFlo3D. Personally, I think that the version in the Laurantius26-ROM that I use, is so super-duper, that I don't want to spend time looking for other themes. I have thought of designing/programming a completely new GUI myself, but I gave up, as I don't have Microsoft Visual Studio.
But you have the oppertunity if you patch with a new ROM. I highly recommend you do that first thing.

Your manila can be found by going to settings tab in TF3D and then scrolling down to 'About'
It should state something like TouchFLO 3D 2.1.38658.2. The first 2 numbers i.e. 2.1 in this case state which manila you have
There appears to be no official update from HTC for a Indian rom. You can however update to any coooked rom by using either USPL or HSPL. I'd recommend you follow this guide and read up on the wiki. Available cooked roms can be found in this forum.
EDIT
Any further queries regarding rom upgrade should be posted in this thread or thread of rom you decide to flash to.
Try and keep this thread on themes please.

Then you don't have manila 2.0 or 2.1.
No one can provide you with the information 'which rom is best' as every rom appeals to different people. Best thing you can do is read each rom thread and make your own conclusion. As a pointer, the most widely used roms generally cooked by the following guys:
Duttythroy, Miri, NRGZ28, Laurentius26 & kwbr.
All of the latest roms generally use manila 2.1 and either wm6.1 or wm6.5 (should say on title of each thread)

I want to install this ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=493911
[ROM][WWE][22.07.2009] Miri WM 6.5 23009 :: V 25.0 [ONLINE]
So will you help me how to start.
And after the Upgrade my Phone is Unser Warranty or NOT.
and How can i restore the Orignal ROM after the Upgrade, if i want to do that in future.
For help on flashing the ROM, read the guide in my signature.
For how to restore the stock ROM, read this thread where it says: How to reflash Stock/Shipped SPL - STEP BY STEP - FOR WARRANTY REASONS ONLY!
Also, it will be under warranty IF you restore it before you send it back for warranty purposes. If you send it back with a custom ROM/SPL on it HTC will most likely not warranty it.

Am not a techie person. So help me how to do that. Which MEthod is Easy
It really doesn't get any clearer/easier than that. That is a step-by-step guide. If you can't follow that I would suggest not flashing your device, or get someone to do it for you.
You should also read up on the Wiki. It will help you out a lot too.
Hi all,
I've recently downloaded the Voda WM6.5 ROM - but before I upgrade I'd like to know if it's possible to get the HTC stock theme just like we were able to do for the WM6.1 ROM? I get on with Voda's attempt, just not with their grim red theme. If I can't change it to stock HTC then I'll probably not upgrade...
Cheers!
Rag.
Why not HSPL your phone and flash a new ROM entirely? That is what I have done on my vodafone TP2 and I now have no horrible vodafone theme or software!
have a read of this if you are unsure what I mean!

Definately the best way to go but not everyone wants to go down this route for various reasons.
Gringolian - I'll probably do that in the end once I've plucked up the courage. I'll also need to figure out what ROM is best to use.
Thanks Allen - where can I get hold of that please?
Cheers,
Rag.

The 6.5 Vodafone theme is much better than the 6.1 one. They've sorted the black on red etc. Definately worth the upgrade for that alone. I'd upgrade to the Voda one personally rather than SPL if you're not interested in running cooked roms. If you don't like it you can always SPL after.
You can download the "Stock" HTC "theme" HERE
It's zipped as it's around the 40mb mark.
I should make this absolutely clear, this is for Vodafone ROMs only, if a file is already used by the VF ROM it was not included (Generally this is for *.png, *.bmp or *.jpg files). The "theme" will make your TF3D look exactly like it does from HTC.

Hi, I have read that thread very carefully but need to know if I need to HSPL my Vodafone TP2 to run the 6.5 upgrade? I suspect i might want to return to Vodafone 6.1 or flash a new ROM entirely. Guess my question is do i need to have HSPL to do any of these?
If you're using the VF 6.5 ROM update, hardspl is not necessary. This is only necessary if you are going to use anythingelse other than VF ROMs.
hello i would like to know if you could help me decide... i have this htc diamond with a ROM 1.93.422.4 WWE wich is the one the phone brought and i wanted to know if theres a better ROM thn tht one and if its compatible with the phone... like ive been reading about this one 1.93.831.1 WWE but i dont know wich one is better or if its compatible.... help me please
If it's the first time you flash a ROM, you have to follow the HardSPL tutorial.
After your Diamond have HSPL, you can flash which ROM you want, there are lots of good ROM in this section, i suggest you Maemo ROMs but you should try it yourself.
I'm using Celoni Tribute ITA, he also released a WWE version with WM6.5.x and HTC Sense.
Im using 2.03.xxxx
Get them from the Diamond Stock ROM WIKI
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Diamond_Upgrades
hey thanks a lot but do i need to do a HSPL to upgrade to those ROMS? the shipped ones? and any HSPL would work? or i have to flash an specific one in order to upgrade the ROM to the shipped one 2.03.xxx ?
No it should flash fine if it is your operator
If it is a different operator, maybe, Im not sure
so i dont have to do any HSPL ? just run the rom with the phone on activesync and thts it? and i think my phone is not flashed with HSPL it will work without doing it?
If it's the right ROM for your phone you'll be able to flash it even without HSPL, but it has to be an official update, check on the HTC website for your IMEI.
I suggest you to use HSPL to have a very higher choose, there are lots of ROMs here, official ones are outdated nowadays.
ohhh ok thanks!!... is there any rom that lets me use htc sense on the diamond?
Sense is WM6.5
If you are going to flash a 6.5 ROM you need to unlock it and HardSPL etc
TouchFlo is the 6.1 version of sense, its almost the same without the eye candy
Hi,
Check this out and pick what suits you best.
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=649841
I've been using GTX for a couple days w/out problems, although it's not the fastest ROM I've ever used looks-goodies/speed ratio is very reasonable.
Of course you have to HSPL your phone before flashing.
Also It's highly recommended to use radio 1.17.25.09 which I think is the latest.
I've had it installed even before flashing GTX and used it with wm 6.5 ROMs in USA, Mexico, Canada, Germany & Greece w/out problems. It's Quad-Band.
