Final Manila 2.5 and Leo questions - General Questions and Answers

Hi. Just my question for the more experienced guys out there - currently manila 2.5 or 2.6 in all roms can be considered as something as a beta - is there any time when HTC releases something like a final release of new Manila? Perhaps with the release of HTC Leo? Are there any rumored release dates?
And a lil' bit of Leo-specific questions
1) Is Manila in Leo going to be 2.5 or 2.6? What's the difference anyway?
2)The new Manila is propably prepared only for the Leo. I don't doubt that the guys from xda will be able to cook it for Touch HD and Diamond, etc., but will be just as fast as functional? I mean especially
*a new CPU (Leo is supposed to have 1GHz, so will my Touch HD be prepared for this)
*bigger screen (see above)
*Leo is also rumored to be the first WM 6.5- capacitive touchscreen smarthpone. Do you think Manila is going to have any multi-touch functionalities? If so, all of this functionality would've to be stripped and replaced by something other by the xda folks to work fine with resistive touchscreens on HD and other phones.
Thanks for your answers in advance!

tf3d of touch pro2 on raphael

Hello everyone, I was wondering if there wil be a release (ROM or APP) either from HTC or from xda devs that will contain the new touch flo 3D from touch pro2 for the raphael. Is this possible? I believe that the screen difference is a great issue, however the new tf3D is great i think. I know there are some apps from the new diamond but some don't work well and they don;t create the same tf3D environment with touch pro2. Thanks for the answers.
XBmod and his group have been working on it for a month, they are almost done. ENRGZ28 has a rom with it now, it is in beta. Look in the rom development section and you will find plenty of threads to read and enjoy. It is awesome.

TouchFlo 3D version 2.5

Do anyone know when TouchFlo 3D version 2.5 is coming out?
Looks nice!!!
Tom Topaz Roms have the 2.5 manila, however it is very buggy... I would wait until it is released in an official rom for a future phone such as the firstone that is comming
But when is the release?
And when it's released in a official rom,it is for topaz too?
Or just future phones?
More than likely, it will be released when WM6.5 is official.
will HTC's WM6.5 upgrade for TD2 owners include manilla 2.5?
I hope so Cause I don't like the standart 6.5 Homescreen..
Just wondering, would htc sense also be officially released for the topaz in the future cos it looks alot nicer than TF3D? It runs on hero and the specs are almost identical.
mate, just do a quick search in the rom development section you will see it is being looked at, but not with any success just yet...

HTC Sense rom?

May be a noobish question but ive searched and searched and couldnt find anything.
Is there a rom already made or one in development with the HTC Sense instead of manilla?
Thanks for the help
HTC Sense is for Android, not Windows Mobile.
Sorry.
Not a true statement. Here is the link http://www.htc.com/uk/press.aspx?id=111998&lang=1033
i think porting SENSE UI to VGA and non capacitive devices like the raphael would be VERY difficult.
the HD2 or Leo is a whole different animal. porting the HD2's Manila has been done. but porting HD2's SenseUI would be quite a project.

Sorry, I hadn't realised they're now referring to the new HD2 version of Manilla as HTC Sense. I assumed what was being requested was the Android HTC Sense UI on Windows Mobile. From what I can see, HTC Sense for Windows Mobile (on the HD2) looks (from the videos) to be Manilla 2.5. If I'm wrong in this, please ignore me
To get the Windows Mobile Version of HTC Sense UI is also known as Manilla 2.5. Currently, Manilla 2.5 is only fully functional on wvga phones.
But worry not. Manilla 2.5 is in development for vga devices, and is near perfect.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=493657
that is a link to a ROM with Manilla 2.5, same UI as the HTC HD2(HTC Leo)
If you want an authentic, Android Sense UI, you might want to do a search for Android on Diamond, should be the first result. Its not fully functional, so the Manilla 2.5 ROM is your best bet.
I loved using that Manilla 2.5, I had to move away from that ROM because the chef was using winmo 6.5 buld 23017, which I really did not like compared to the newer builds.

Is this the "next" Sense Modification?

Hi,
i've seen this Pic at Modaco and i wonder what is to see on the Homescreen
I think it is Manila 2.5 but it shows CallHistory and Calendar like Manila 2.1
Is it possible to port it in a actual CFW with Manila 2.5?
This could also be manila 2.1 .. The newest versions of manila 2.1 have the same slider icons as 2.5 and aslo weather on the hometab ... having seen the latest 2.5 version that have come out lately, I am almost sure the sense shown in the pictures is sense 2.1
Try CookyMonster's mod with new Sense 2.5. Then you can change some reg. settings to have Call history and so on with sense 2.5
this is actually the new HTC HD mini, revealed at MWC in Barcelona. Sense interface looks like 2.1 but with a twist, like footprints and twitter, just like 2.5 has. Also, interestingly, it has officially 6.5.3 on it. maybe our beloved chefs will get something good out of this baby.
L.E. according to slashgear.com, the new Sense on HD mini is specially tailored by consumers requests, so it might be the best of 2.1 and 2.5 together. the hardware is lower specced then HD2 and closer to Topaz, but it has a capacitive touchscreen. therefore it might get a WP7 update
Ahh...OK.
It's a Symbiose of 2.1 and 2.5...
We will see when its released in some Months

I am 100% sure it won't get WM7 update, for one good reason it requires 1ghz and it has only 600mhz...

minimum cpu specs for WM7 is 800mhz not 1ghz
AGAIN! There will be NO upgrade of WM7 for the current devices. Maybe only for the HD2 but even that's still a rumor. Back to reality!

From what I've seen, they can keep it.
I have never cared for any WM UI and it looks like they made it worse than Titanium.
Problem is, you can't unselect it to run anything else.
It would be running in conjunction with any other interface which could be an issue for system resources.

Well. I don't want it. I'll stay on WM 6.5.x

You will first need HSPL to unlock your device then you have to find a 2.5 manila ROM to flash.
Flashing instructions are in the ROM threads

Froyo fully functional only on Vogue?

Hey everybody
I got a Touch Diamond and i've been running xdandroid 2.1 for a while (booting manually from winmo). I've recently seen a news post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=712310) about a fully working froyo on HTC Vogue. As far as i can see, it's a windows mobile device - older and less capable than the Touch Diamond (please correct me if i'm wrong, which i probably am) - still it seems to be working better with froyo than my diamond is with 2.1? (i read that both gps AND camera is working on vogue+froyo).
Did i miss something, or what is up with that?
What i'm trying to say is, how is it that froyo is not fully working on other devices? Is it because the community around Vogue is bigger/better than around Diamond and they spend more time making it work, or is the Vogue somehow magically more prepared for Froyo? The reason i didn't post this in the Diamond forum is, i wonder - generally - how this can be?
