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're the right place now - this forum where your thread here has been moved to, is the place for HTC Touch HD.

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)

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.

I saw your Dummy Post.
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,
I'm new to the forum, hence would appreciate some guidance & advice. Bought the Touch HD recently, and am keen to have the very nice looking
TF3D/manila 2.5 interface that's flying arnd the forum. But don't know how to go about doing it.
Is there a step-by-step dummies guide somewhere in the forum?
Frm what I can gathered, i think i need to flash my ROM before I can do anything. I see there are so many ROMs around but which should I use?
Info abt my device .. WM6.1 Pro, CE OS 5.2.20757 (Build 20757.1.4.0).
Thanks in advance for the help.
Hello and welcome
There is indeed a superb dummies guide written by Digital Outcast here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505377
You will need a rom with TF3D 2.5. Take a look in the rom section and decide for yourself which one to go for based on what people have said in the threads. Bare in mind you can always flash another rom if you don't like it anyway...
At the time of writing Miri's Rev7.1 and Dutty's Leo R2 are the only roms with the very latest TF3D 2.5 (sometimes referred to as 2.6 as it has a weather panel and animated weather on the home screen).
Good luck!
Edit: forgot Miri also has a WM 6.1 rom with TF3D 2.5, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=547278, the two above use windows mobile 6.5
Also, an often forgotten website:
The Wiki Site
The wiki is very useful, with lots of step-by-step instructions on how to flash your ROM, add themes, flash radios, etc. Give it a shot!
There is also another 2.5 ROM from Efsane at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=553888
with the latest WM 6.5 combined
where i can get calendar like this?
its look cool..
Any of the beta Manila 2.5 ROM's e.g. Miri v10, Dutty R5, EnergyROM, etc over here.
HD 2 calendar
how do i know what type of rom i'm using?
there is any software that i can installed without changing my rom? because i'm prefer to use current rom and not changing it which it not cause any trouble to me yet..
HD 2 calendar
1 more question, what actually they mean by rom?
i'm new user, quite not familiar with the word.
ROM stands for read only memory. Basically your phone will have come with the Stock ROM (Windows 6.1) but its like a basic version. Now because HTC and the phone companies like Orange, O2 etc are not that forthcoming with updates etc due to new phones being constantly announced, there are some really clever people on here who have taken either Windows 6.1 or the newer 6.5 and made if you will, custom ROM's.
I was quite confused as to how to update to these new ROM's with their being so many of them but its an easy process once you get the hang of it. I have tried about 3 different 6.5 Roms, and at the moment have gone back to Dutty's 3.9 XT which is a 6.1 rom.
Windows Mobile is so customizable, and thats what these Chefs (Rom creators) are doing. Check out the ROM's from Dutty, Miri, NRG etc they have all done fantastic jobs.
Hope this helps.
HD 2 calendar
ok, thanks. it gives me some information.. by the way, how i can check type of my rom?
Hi one_e00,
check this post, it has everything you want to know about what rom you use,
what spl, and how to change the rom to something else:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505377
I just used it myself to change to the newest Miri REV 10 ROM.
And now i have the new calendar you wanted, as it's included in that rom
HD 2 calendar
ok, thanks. i will look foward for it. does the new rom give any trouble to you?
can you post me a picture of your calendar and home picture?
1 more thing, please give me address to Miri Rev 10 Rom, so i can go direct to it without any doubt. i'm afraid i go to wrong rom.

Well I don't have any troubles but there is always some bugs since most of the roms are not stable yet since (as far as I know) neither windows mobile 6.5 or htc sense is completed. When they're updated rom cooks update their roms also so when you start flashing you might want to flash new one when cooks release it, but you don't have to of course. But I started flashing roms one day after I bought my Blackstone.
The screenshots are from NRGZ28's energy rom photon with manila 2.5. I haven't use Miri's rom but I can suggest you NRGZ28's.
Also you'll need to read Dummies guide: flashing 1.56+ roms [v 2.0] carefully. Good luck and have fun with new roms
hd 2 calendar
thanks a lot. it gives me much info.
if only the calendar could be incorporated into Manila 2.1 *sigh*

Hi..
I have never flashed my Touch HD with any roms before, so i was wondering would i lose my operator details with O2 if i did flash with a new rom.. I would be grateful if someone could help me
Thanks
After a long time using my Diamond, i've used many roms but i just want to use the one which get closest to the stock HTC's ROM. I don't like eyes-hypnotizing roms. There're many roms matched my style but they're not perfect.Satus's one have some slow animation with manila clock and weather and RAM-eating (maybe it's based on the old kitchen or sth).DonSalari is very fast, i think it's the fastest 6.5 rom i've ever used but it's tweaked too heavily so many occasionally used stuff like audio booster is not included.Yozgatz's 6.5 is stopped.
So i found Gen.Y kitchen (big thanks to master Yoz!) , i have experienced many times on my diamond to create a new 6.5 rom that meet my style and Yoz's idea "brings Diamond 2 experience to the old Diamond" and "closest to the stock rom as possible"
This rom is based on the new Gen.Y 5.2 kitchen with some changes like
Code:
-New Opera 10 beta 2 for WM
- BSB ramsweeper 2 for fast and effective cleaning
- BSB setting (if you hate to use the advance config...
- Leo's EXT
- Sense 2.1 and bugs fixed as announced by master Yoz, and i disabled the animation weather for fastest perfomance
- Windows Phone startup animations
- Qilin Phone Canvas support video/conference calls
- XT9 my words
-
- Some more that i dont remember
This rom i made for daily use, there will be lots of unused stuff so there isn't much room for other program
The program memory free after flash is about 67% used with sense 2.1 enabled
The storage memory free after flash is about 70mb
I made this rom for my own, but i will appriciate every replies to make this rom better
The link and the snap shot will be uploaded in minutes
plz do MTTY or flash a stock HTC rom before flashing this for best usage
Great~! new chef~
When will you release the ROM? Willing to try~
Me too like roms closest to the stock as possible
waiting.....
looking forward to this - but all the 6.5 roms i've tried - kill the speed on my phone. i don't like titanium, and either sense or manila kills the diamond
Where is the Link ?
The first post :"the link and the snap shot will be uploaded in minutes" , want to try this first wm6.5 rom with sense 2.1

Your Roms are excellent. We are looking forward for this one!!!
I've seen a lot of roms developed in this forum. I've now the Energy Rom NLD. But I can't overclock my Touch HD with this ROM. So I'm looking for another ROM.. one that's stable, fast and can do many things (especially making pictures and video's in good quality)...
I hope someone can advise me a better ROM than the Energy Rom. Cause I've already seen that and I'm ready for something new....
inb4 ****storm
One of notable ROM is Dutty v3.9 XT turbo.
The best ROM u can use is kwbr v 5.7 COM2 MANILA
Why?!
1. Because is with the Manila version and this make the whole interface super fast and stable.
2. Its 6.5 Based from COM2 witch is most stable bug free branch with super ram and battery consumation.
3. Because the ROM is tweaked and is even more faster and stable than a Stock ROM and this is Must have for EVERYDAY use if you want to enjoy your Blackstone.
4. You will never have any problem witch this ROM because just there is no SINGLE BUG
5. Our Blackstones are not made for 2.5 Sense or even 2.1 Sense because its to slow i play alot with HD2 and i know how the Sense must to look and response.. so maybe we never will catch the speed and the Sense to run on your Blackstones like is designed to be.. for this reason if you want to have a stable rom you just need TouchFLO Manila with core 6.5 this is the question WHY exactly this ROM.
Also if you prefer a 6.5.3 Based ROM there is exactly the same ROM v 5.7 COM3 Manila the diference is of the Branch Build i also test this ROM too and is super good but COM2 is the fastest and stable ONE till now no one beat it
Enjoy
I got this phone to since a little while.
At the moment I have W.M. 6.1 installed (standard Rom)
The kwbr v 5.7 COM2 MANILA looks good for as far as I know. But since this is my first W.M. advanced phone, I'm not sure if it's wise to do this 'upgrade'.
If something happens with my phone, what then? Because these ROM's are more like hacks or am I wrong?
Is the phone really getting faster for example? And do I need to install all kinds of extra if I install this kwbr v 5.7 COM2 MANILA ROM?
I read the sticky's etc about flashing ROM's, but since English isn't my main language and I'm not yet that technical in all these terms, I'm not sure if it's wise for me to install a different ROM.
(sorry for hijacking this thread, but since I'm also looking for the best ROM, I think it's appropiate to post this here)

Ofcourse 1st now u have WM 6.1 and he have ugly Start Menu and appireance etc and if you install 6.5 will see the diference..
the Cooked ROM`s are not Hacks they are build from the latest avalible apps xip and etc packages.. for example when there is new Update for the Rhodium or HD2 Leo because they both use the same resolution and etc the cookers get the latest updates from there and make them for our Blackstone..
So when you are flashing a new ROM cooked you are going to have the latest updates published from Microsoft and in some cases HTC
I think that worth to Flash a new ROM and experiment and if you read evrything carefull you cannot damage your device..
The honest is that WM 6.1 maybe is the fastes one because of the poor graphic and appiriance but some of the cooked rom are faster than 6.5 because they are Cooked and because some unusual stuffs are removed from the ROM.. so when you flash a Cooked ROM you get only the things that are writen in the ROM thread..
So to understand me clear a Stock Official 6.5 ROM for example for HD2 and Cooke 6.5 ROM for HD2 the cooked one will BEAT in many aspects..
They are tweaked... optimized.. updatet and etc!
So the only reason why they are Cooked and we call not official is because the Cookers are just guys from here.. if they was working for Microsoft or HTC they will be releasing Official ROM`s
nice article man.. thank u..

Did you upgrade radio? My Blackstone was overclocked to 750MHz on stock ROM (1.14) but when I flashed Barebone 2.6 (1.59) it couldn't go over 691MHz untill radio upgrade. Now it's stable at 729MHz.
kwbr 5.7 Manila
Hi All
I can only agree with tsalta
kwbr 5.7 C2 Manila is the best ROM around for everyday use.
I have got my Blackstone from my uncle with this rom a year ago. Never had problems.
Last week I've experimented with some latest roms (Several Energy, and kwbrs with sense in them).
Sense is too slow/unresponsive on our machine. That was bugging me - since I know how fast it should be.
I'm coming back to No Sense ROM. Surely, I will miss the eye candy of Sense, and huge amount of quick links in Energy, but the performance and the battery life means more to me.
