Dear Cooks, why don't you cook something fresh and finger-friendly like 6.5.X and with memory-friendly and visually attractive shell like new Sense 2.1 ported by Kimi?
There are many good 6.5.X ROMs, but as I see there is no way found to make cabs for Sense 2.1 cause it deeply integrates with the system...
Also there are ROMs wins Sense 2.1 and 2.5, but all of them contains a lot of software that eats memory...
So I think it will be cool for us to have a clean ROM with new interface and new shell. And everyone can install what he needs through cabs.
Any thoughts?
I agree. But Sense 2.1 has only been out for a few days, so I am sure we will see some more ROMs after Christmas
I'm looking forward to Benko's new WM 6.5.3 + Sense 2.1 ROM for example.
Unfortunately yozgatg has abandoned his WM 6.5 project. I think he would be capable of building us a great 6.5 ROM He also released a kitchen in which you can integrate WM 6.5 yourself, but I'm not experienced enough in ROM building

whts the difference between sense,manila, & touch flow 3d
sorry if this question is stupid,
The difference between Sense and Manilla are nothing, they are both the same. TF3D is like Sense but its a older software developed in the OEM Windows Mobilw 6.1. Most of Windows 6.5 are Sense 2.1. Hope it helps.
thn what is tf3d?

"Manila" is the code name HTC has been using for it's shell interface for a while now. The first versions of Manila were referred to as TF3D (TouchFLO3D), up through TF3D 2.1. Then, the next upgrade to Manila was called "Sense", and was intended to be somewhat standardized across WM and Android.
There's a few stock ROM's, and a couple of custom ones, that have WM 6.1 and TF3D with it...but all carriers now have an upgrade to 6.5 and at least Sense 2.1, and there's tons of custom ROMs with those and higher versions.
is there a ROM already made for the Rhodium that has Sense 2.1 on WM 6.1? would love to try it out since 6.1 seems to be easy on resources and battery life...and its been ages since i tried it out lol but yeh for those wondering if its possible? yes its possible, Xeperia X1 already has a custom ROM thats got sense 2.1 and WM 6.1 all in one ROM http://htcpedia.com/276/soft/sony-x1-rom.html
please let me know, thanks
I have made such a Hybrid. But the problem is that the battery life is crap. You need to use the new rilphone.dll together with the 4.xx.xx.xx radio and WM6.1. The rilphone and radio doesn't match the WM version and this results in a poor battery.
Check my Oldschool thread in ROM developing, I have put there my WM6.1 + Sense 2.5 ROM (have a look at the last posts), see how the battery live is, if it fits you I'll upload you a WM6.1 Sense 2.1 Hybrid too.
Cheers all,
Just wanted to let you all "Blackstoners" that Max' New Sense have been released! And it's awesome.
You can find this UI only in cooked ROMs, so if you're not familiar with flashing customized ROMs, maybe it's time to learn how here.
Watch the video preview of this great new UI here, and visit this thread for introduction, features, tutorials, Q & A, and more...
Thank you Max!
Excellent news, I posted in the Max Manilla thread and was going to ask if it was able to be cooked into some of the Frankenstein Sense 2.5 WM6.1 cooked roms, but edited my post as I came to the understanding that it wasn't able to be used for touch HD, Im very happy to read that its now available for touch HD! its an amazing sense 2.5 mod.
so, any chance it could work cooked into a WM6.1 Sense 2.5 rom for the Touch HD?

No, not yet. I haven't seen any WM6.1 with MaxSense out there.
Only Energy for now... for Blackstone at least.
I really need a help for obtaining an excellent WM6.5.x ROM + <<sense 2.5>>
I've searched all WM6.5.x ROMs on XDA but i don't know which of them can be better for 'HTC TOUCH DAIMOND'
In fact ,i want "WM6.5.X CLEAN ROM+SENSE 2.5 ,STABLE,FAST AND WITH SETTING ITEM IN START MENU "
IF IT IS OFFICIAL ,IT WILL BE BETTER CERTAINLY​
THEREFORE,Please Help Me For Finding best ROM ,tanX
simple, not exist
LOL
Don't waste your time with 6.5 it is always going to be slow
Now I can tell you what a good all rounder rom is an that is the MEMO one.
I would say this as I'm helping with it but IMHO it's a keeper.
MEMO Rom
Yes, i too say that 6.5 is not for Diamond. So why u try that?
With all the options the MEMO ROM is the best one (Try it and feel it)
Regards
I'm using the latest energy rom + cookie home tab, and is fast,stable and has good graphics..there is only one problem the free ram is a bit (18-20 mb)
energy rom
Sure, energy roms, especially the latest, are bright, fast, BUT NOT LIGHT due, perhaps in a certain way to the huge amount of apps included. Things that most people does not use. I prefer using wm 6.5.5 rahter than 6.1, but today there is no light rom WITH SENSE (2.1 OR 2.5) AND WM 6.5.5. You can find a good titanium rom wm 6.5.5 (ralpfudsion ralGT1J) with plenty of free ram and stable
Hi,
First you need to understand the limitation of your equipment and specially for the ram. On my side I have tried several rom and I have normally a preference for rom 6.5.x due to my HD2. So I found a good compromised between 6.1 and 6.5.x it is a 6.5 rom (build 21907) back to basic. There is enough ram left and I can customized as I want. The other solution as stated above is to use a titanium version of 6.5.x or 6.5. I also recomand Ormet rom the 8.32 one.
Hope it will help you
I would suggest you to try out the Gen Y WWE ROM. Its a 6.1 with Sense 2.1 ROM. Pretty stable. It has a share of its own issues, but you may wanna try it out yourself. Its got a very good integration of Sense into it with a Start Menu that the Topaz (Diamond 2) shipped with.

Here you go. Try it. Its got some good features. If you are starting out new, I suggest take small steps. Rather than taking a leap into 6.5 or 6.5.x give this one a try.
What's your idea ?
tanX of all for your nice suggestions nonetheless it's better that i use WM6.1 for HTC touch diamond instead of WM6.5.X
I INSTALLED DONSALARI ROM(WM6.5) ,IT WAS NOT BAD... , however it has some features that i want
roughly OK : WM6.5.X+SENSE 2.5

I personally had issues with that rom. Diamond does not truly perform too well with it. Had it for a few days then removed it. For instance my video stuttered horribly with it and my album never even began playing H.264 videos. I could only use WMP.
I personally think you should fall back on a tweaked 6.1 ROM with Sense 2.1 or Sense 2.5. Maybe you could search for Manila cab and install it.
try the Don Salari rom dude. i think it's the best official rom n' it's very light (clean basic). good luck!
you might want to try out Benko's 6.5.3 ROMs for Diamond.

P.S. Even that has issues though.
I am using my Diamond for work now and loving the fact it syncs with outlook for my contacts and diary, however, we are not allowed ANY data; I also love the customisation of CHT and therefore would love a bare, basic rom with Sense 2.5.
Am I better off trying to build one for myself? If so best kitchen?
it was great.
I am also trying to cook my rom
you can try this kitchen

but dont expect sense to be smoth on diamond even on a very clean ROM
diamond is just not capable of doing that
(just my personal opinion....i prefer older manila 2.1 for its speed)
