Changing Manila without changing ROM - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General

Hi,
Is there any way to update the Manila on the Tilt 2 without flashing a new ROM?
I want to get a stable version of 2.1 with the weather on the home screen working on this ROM.
Any suggestions would be helpful.

No, I think that is not possible. You can two things:
1. Flash one of those great ROM's on this site with TF3D 2.5 and WM 6.5
2. wait and see what the coming upgrade to WM 6.5 will bring with regards to a possible improved TF3D. It is rumoured that the upgrade might contain either the TF3D 2.5 version or the HTS Sense UI of the Touch HD2, a.k.a. Leo

How do you update to 6.5 officially?

Was reading on here about how to install a new cooked rom, is the procedure exactly the same for the official 6.5 rom thats out in a few days?? Has anybody upgraded officially from a previous version of Windows? And does anybody have any info about a new official version of touchflo 3d for the Touch Pro 2?
Many thanks
Paul
It is similar, but no HardSPL or anything hacked is needed to install the update. The same backup procedure applies though as it wipes your device completely. The update will have complete instructions though, so don't worry
Officially...
wait for your mobile provider or HTC to come out with their official version of the WM 6.5 for your phone. Then, follow their directions.
Officially, WM 6.5 is coming on October 6.
Does anyone have any views on the benefits of waiting for the "official" HTC WM 6.5 release, versus installing something like Miri's highly-rated cooked ROM?
Thanks for the replies, im waiting for the 6th, mind you if im using Touchflo 3D, i shouldnt see that much of Windows 6.5 should i? Anyone have news on Touchflo 3D 2.5 or 2.6??
good question.. will the next week 6.5 rom ship with the "old" 2.1?? I'd really love leo's manila... too bad it's a no go for landscape...
Windows Mobile 6.5 is official, Vodafone released the LG GM750 today with 6.5 loaded. 2 days before Microsoft's scheduled release date.
Back on topic, I would be very surprised if the official HTC 6.5 ROM's for the Topaz and Rhodium contained Manila 2.5 or 2.6. Definitely 2.1W though.

WM6.5 really slow on P3300 M650 / when ROM base on official version ?

Hi,
Going through the forum, I understand that P3300 / M650 could get quite slow after being upgrade to WM 6.5 (compare to WM6 Black & Blue 4.3 for example).
=> Is it still true with the last ROM released ?
Moreover, I just read that Microsoft has officially launched today the official WM 6.5 version.
=> Can we expect that soon new modified ROM will be released based on official WM 6.5 and then expect big improvement (more stable and quicker ?)
Last point, how fast and stable is GPS on WM6.5 (using Tom Tom 7), since I am experiencing problem with my actual ROM WM6 Black & Blue 4.3 (have to "soft-reset" my HTC each time before to launch Tom Tom 7, otherwise is losing satellites after a few seconds...).
Thks a lot, Fred
=> Is it still true with the last ROM released ?
The memory management with every new build that comes out seems to be better and better. So as compared to the first beta builds, the latest RTM builds are much zippier.
=> Can we expect that soon new modified ROM will be released based on official WM 6.5 and then expect big improvement (more stable and quicker ?)
There are many ROMS out there based on 'official' 6.5 builds. The phones that ship with 6.5 have builds from the COM2 branch which have the old interface, but we also have official builds of 6.5.1, which is a COM 4 branch, and which has GUI improvements.
....it was also my doubt: how is possible that there are already so many cooked wm6.5 roms, if microsoft released it officially only yesterday?
Which is the starting point for this roms?
Some wm6.5 rom for developers?
Finally, one question directly for randythered:
I read on your sign that you "participate" to the project wm6.5 base...what is it?
And also that you include in your roms
RtR Base Version1
RtR Base Version 2
RtR Manila v1.0
RtR WM 6.5 Base v2.0 (Build 23052)
Which are the differences and which you would suggest to a "newbie" that is still running the official HTC wm6 rom?
Thank you in advance!
PS: I've seen also http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=567864
that increase my confusion
Please help me!
Thanks!!
The builds that have been coming out have been leaked out by trusted sources. Check out Development & Hacking forum.
Project 6.5 Base is what I was working on, the ROM is ready so I have to change my sig now
All those are the ROMs that I have cooked. RtR Base V2 is WM 6.1 Clean ROM, with minimal add on apps.
RtR Manilla 1.0 is a M2D ROM, similar to the HTC Touch Viva.
RtR 6.5 Base is a clean 6.5 ROM, with the latest build of 6.5 and very few add on apps for faster ROM.
The ArteMEGA is the latest ROM i've cooked, it's got software from the recently launched HTC MEGA.
If you want to flash a new ROM you have to unlock your phone first by flashing USPL. Then you can flash any ROM of your choice!
So, just to summariza, I should install:
1) RtR Manilla 1.0 if my first wish is to have the Manila (diamond style) user interface
2) RtR 6.5 Base is I don't care about HTC propetary interface, and I want the last microsoft wm with its features...light and stable since is a base.
3) ArteMEGA if I want the last microsoft wm as well as the last HTC user interface and I don't care toom uch about speed...
IT is correct?
Thanks in advance!!
Yes, that is indeed correct.
I was just going to reply with a "Yep. " but xda thinks that's too short

not quite, cause my ultralight version is speedier
come on randythered...i am still waiting
greetz
Hahaha I have to admit 31 MB program memory is WOW!
Don't know if I'll be able to manage that, but I'll definitely give it a go
Thanks for your answers !
Just to know, does the release number "23060" for the ROM W 6.5 base is a good way to know if it's clean/last version ?
Do you have a W6.5 ROM with French language support to recommand (clean / stable / speedy !) ?
Rgds, Fred
All builds are the same, it's the cooks job to make it as speedy as possible. As far as I know, the 23060 and 23420 builds have some issues with the dialog buttons, but these have been adressed. Read the latest builds thread for more info.

you gotta flash a ROM that uses Manila 2.5. I'm using NRG's Leo 10/17 build. there won't be any official update to Manila 2.5 for the Rhodium. the first phone that will officially have the 1919 build of Manila is the Leo/HD2
Is that the ONLY way?
yep 2.5 has to be cooked into a rom you cant cab it up.
Alternatively, just install the latest official ROM from HTC for the phone.
If you use microsoft my phone for backup, everything will be easy...
Isn't the latest T-Mobile one from HTC that only upgrades to WM6.5, but keeps old Manila?

Manilla 2.5/2.6

Can someone please post a guide to installing TouchFLO 3D 2.5 or 2.6 on a "clean" rom I have Miri's standard 28011 rom and have customized alot in 4 days and do not want to reinstall just to play with TouchFLO 3D. is there a cab or files to copy to do it, or is there a way to dump my current rom 100% and restore it later.
help us, please!
AFAIK nobody has gotten this working for the HD and generally if you want manila you need to flash to a rom with manila cooked in. (I believe it is possible, but as I say I haven't seen it for the HD).
You can use an app like Sprite Backup to do a complete backup of your rom and all settings and if you do want to return to your old rom, just flash back and restore the backup and all is back to as it was.
Thanks for your answer.
I don't know exactly what was FireSokar searching for.
New roms with wm 6.5 are too slow to use HD in daily jobs.
So I must return to an old wm 6.1 ita rom ...
Now I'd like to install ONLY last version of manila to have new tools in the home screen (weather, progs and so on).
I don't need wm 6.5 and htc messaging, new notifications, tweet, footprints and beautiful but slooooow phone and turbo battery shutdown.
I need only an ITA fast phone and longlife battery.
Can you help me?
I need
Sense 2.5 is tied into many of the updates MS put into WM 6.5 - I don't think it can work on WM 6.1, and I haven't seen any 6.1/2.5 roms.

Forgive me if I'm wrong but that was based on the old 2.5 I think, I'll check if I can find it.
Can't find any specific info on it, but here's a rapidshare link to the last version: http://rapidshare.com/files/284376302/Miri_WM61_21054_Manila_2.5_V3.0.rar
PS It is a very old version of 2.5 and you may have trouble getting much of it to work.

[QUESTION] Touch HD2 Clock to Touch HD

Hi, i just wanna to know if is it possibile tu put the new fantastic clock of Touch HD2 (with meteo included) on my touch HD TouchFlo Version: 1.3!
Thanks!!
I doubt it. If you were using a cooked rom based on the leo roms you probably could but I seriously doubt it will install on the stock rom.
Edit: Oh, I see you are also looking for the weather, ie the Sense UI, so in that case definitely not. You will need to flash to a rom with either the new Sense manila 2.1 or 2.5
Ok thanks a lot!!
Hi
as clyde suggested, yeah, you need to flash a ROM with the HTC Sence, either 2.1 or 2.5..
If youd like an advice, 2.1 is much smoother than 2.5...welll at least it was back in the days...I didnt flash a new ROM for a long time so I dont know about the new roms...you should give it a try
Ok i understand...but i manage to install on my touch HD this particular set of tab icon: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=572842 which is for manila 2.1 !! How is it possibile? In this case can i installa some hacks for manila 2.1 or not?! Thanks...

Those are just a set of icons. You can install that on stock ROM too.
If you really want your HD to look like HD2 then try LEO based ROM's.

Some things like the icons still have the same manila files behind them, however i wouldn't try to use manila2.1 hacks (especially hacks for the sense UI, i.e. with weather), since that is quite different from the stock manila.
The easiest way to go is to use a cooked rom with manila 2.1 or 2.5
