Manila 1.9 to 2.5 - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General

I just got a TP2 and it has Manila 1.9 on it still. I'd like to upgrade to version 2.5 but don't want to mess anything up. Can I just install 2.5 or do I have to work my way up to it? Any help would be appreciated, as well as a link to the version or versions I have to use...

I'm sure you have Manila 2.0 (TouchFlo3D) on it. TP2s were shipped with either Manila 2.0 or Manila 2.1.
You can just install a custom ROM that contains Manila/Sense 2.5.
You'll first need to do HardSPL and choose a custom ROM.
If you got your TP2 from Sprint or Verizon, you have a CDMA variant, and you'll need to go to the CDMA TP2 sub-forum OR PPCGeeks.com for these resources.
Otherwise, you have a GSM TP2, and you can get instructions, HardSPL, and custom ROMs from the regular TP2 ROM Development sub-forum here at XDA.

theres no manila 1.9 is there? thats crazy talk.

what is manila?

I saw some very cool themes posted here, and they all require certain version of manila, I m new to WM, I have no idea what manila is , can someone explain to me, pls.
thank you very much!
Its the process name of TouchFlo.
Rhodium default is Manilla 2.1 I believe.
2.6 is from an upcoming device, HTC Leo.
thanks! now i get it!
can we upgrade the manila?
It is possible.
2.5 is still early development and has some bugs.
2.6 is very early development and has more bugs.
If you have a GSM phone, best way to play with it is to flash a New rom on the phone that has the version you want.
If you want to go that route, read read read:

This works much better when cooked in!
If you have a CDMA phone it's not possible yet to flash a new rom.
touchflo 3d (aka manila)

Upgrade to Sense UI 2.5 without reflashing ROM?

Is that possible? Can I upgrade my Sense UI from 2.1 to 2.5 without flashing a new ROM?
All I want to do is get the HTC Home weather to update more often that every 3 hours, and I'm reading that you have options to set the update interval in Sense 2.5. So rather than pick a whole new ROM (I'm currently using the Energy ROM v.23504 - think it's the Photon one), can I just upgrade Sense somehow?
Any advice is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,

No.
im sure most of manilla files can't be overwritten, therefor they need to be cooked in the rom. we're talking about literally thousands of files.
Apparently it is possible, but it seems only if you have a VGA device http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=578414
I haven't seem anything on a WVGA version, but I'm sure someone more knowledgeable will come along to help you
So... can it be done? I was trying to search through that forum post and it looked like they were talking about having the original WVGA version of the Manila files. Anyone tried it?
This is interesting. I'm curious if it is possible to upgrade/patch the same verison of Manilla/Sense with a newer build.
I am currently running Manilla/Sense 2.5 v192XX but would like to upgrade to at least v20XXX or v23XXX but all responses are too vague to confirm if it is possible to upgrade the version of Manilla/Sense.
Can anyone confirm?

Versions of sense/touch flo etc.

I posted another thread earlier but I haven't found the info I need so, hopefully, I can get the answers here...
I am trying to make my taskbar/clock etc transparent but have had no success so far. I have a TP2 with winmo 6.5. Does anyone know how I find out what version manilla I have (IDK what manilla is tbh) and what version Touch Flo, also, do I have sense? and if so, what version sense I have?
It sounds noobish I know but I'm really stuck here, thanks for your help.
If you have a stock 6.5 version you also have sense 2.1. manila is what sense is based on i.e. Sense is made up of manila files.
Sense is the new TF3D, chronologically it went TF3D on the touch pro.. then TF3D2 then onto Sense 2.1 on the touch pro2.
Custom ROMs have been made using the new LEO interface Sense 2.5.
I hope that makes sense to you!
what you need to do is edit the specific manila files for what you are trying to do, there are some programs that have been developed that will help, like CFC gui for the clock

It took me a while to figure it out but I found it by accident in the registry.
HKLM\Software\Manila\Version
If you don't have a registry editor PHM and Total Commander are both good.
very helpful stuff - thank you very much.

Stock Sense 2.5

My tp2 just came back from repair and when I powered on the device HTC had loaded a New ROM onto it with what look likes Sense 2.5, has anybody else experienced this and does anybody know if the sense 2.5 tweak will work on this version.
BTW, how can I check what version of the Sense UI this is.

you can check by going to: all settings, system, device informtaion, software information and it is under manila version
thanks, just checked is manila version 2.5.20121225.0
and the ROM version is 2.07.401.1
This ROM was released a couple of weeks ago. Everyone rejoices that Sense2.5 is now officially supported on Rhodium!
Been using it for a day now and at times manila runs really slowly or the phone crashes and I cant get into any of the manila programs, or back to the home screen. Does anybody know of any tweaks could use to prevent it from slowing down and crashing.
Also are there good home screen task manager seeing as HTC have taken the previous one off.
Thanks.
You could try and download TD2 tools, and increase page filing and such. It increases performance on my stock AT&T ROM. Also, can someone point me in the right direction as to where to download the ROM that you all are talking about, the one with sense 2.5. I'd like the stock 2.5 ROM over a custom one. Thanks alot.
been looking in the forums and found these two threads that look promising hope it helps

so yeah, I can't find out what version of manila or sense or touchflo3d I have..All I know is I'm running a stock WinMO 6.5 Pro T-Mobile rom w/ very little tweaks. I want to understand what I have on it..
I have Rom: 1.91.531.4 (74508) WWE dated 12/15/09..I find that under Device Information..I have nothing that says software information.
please help?!? I wouldn't mind trying to put Sense 2.5 on here to see what thats all about.

This page will tell you what you have, but unfortunatly it dosent have any information on what version of manila came with it i assuming that it would have been 2.1 as that is the version that was shipped with my original ROM.

Help me find a good ROM for TP2

Hi,
I am searching for the fastest "GSM" ROM available for the "TOUCH PRO 2"
Searching for a WM 6.5+ Version with originap TP2 2.1 Sense.
I DON'T want it to have a SINGLE visual mod or anything else additional on it. As close to the original as possible just with speed modification (if such roms exist ^^)
Give me all names/links that you know and I'll just test them out by myself and find me a fav.
Thanks!
NRG has 2.1 sense version of 21xx and 23xx however its heavy on graphical mods.
try stock roms i believe they are 6.5 with 2.1
Can't figure out those stock roms. Different langs, different carriers... where do I get a standard english gsm version (and unlocked) and I'd be happy to try.

The RUU_Rhodium_S_HTC_Europe_1.86.401.0_Radio_Rhodium_4.49.25.17_Signed_Ship.exe listed here is an English (WWE) WM6.5 with Manila 2.1.
What are the S2 (2.07..) versions? 2.5?

Yeah, 2.07... is with Sense 2.5. That being said, did you want the Manila 2.1 (black and white tab icons etc) or Sense 2.1 (coloured icons)?
Thanks for all the info. I got what I needed. Satisfied and topic can be locked or whatever ^^ Thanks again @ all!~
Any other recommendations along the OPs guidelines, but with Sense 2.5?
I like the stock look, and havent been able to find a rom that looks like stock but acts like a ferrari
the best way to find out a "best" ROM is to try all the available ROMs.
