Hi all,
after upgrading my Topaz to new 6.5 rom (official, not hardspled yet ;-) ), I am mostly happy with sense 2.1....except that I strongly miss the extended calendar present in 2.5: only day and month view is much much too limited, I really miss a full calendar app similar to stock WM one, but integrated in HTC sense. Seing that HTC has not upgraded their pitifully limited calendar in the 6.5 upgrade was quite a dissapointment ....
Do you guys think that a .cab containing the Manilla 2.5 calendar app could be installed on Manilla 2.1? or is the integration too deep and the only way to get the new calendar would be to install a cooked rom with the full Manilla 2.5?
Greg.
I would be interested that one, too...

Hello dear Raph-users
Poll for today : what is the best UI.
I need a solid UI which can provide me links to every thing in my raph.
Manilla 2.5 suits me best, but its not completly ported to VGA and stupid HTC mesaging system
Discuss
At the moment Manila 2.1, I think, is the best. It works perfectly, its fluid, and its fast. You won't find anything that doesn't work in Manila 2.1. I think if Manila 2.5 gets fully ported to VGA, it will beat out 2.1 no contest. But for now 2.1.
SPB Mobile shell or Ultimatelaunch. Manila is uncustomizable eye candy and a memory killer
Why spb is so good? My friend got HD with spb with android mod and its not so fast as manilla 2.5 either
I've used RLToday, UL, Titanium and now Manila 2.1. I think Manila is better, but I agree that it should be easier to customize.
Manilla 2.5
Since the nearly full port og sense (manila 2.5) to VGA that has to be best and fastest UI in my mind that is
What do you want to see in a ROM?

New dialer from HTC has that function...
hmmm, perfect ROM...
I want WinMo6.5 with old gui,
much free RAM (20MB+),
with Chome editor, secondtoday, homescreen++, network wizard, HTC home plugin, MS office, HTC Audio Manager, HTC Album....,
without manilla
wm 6.5.X + manila 2d
wm 6.5.X + manila 2d
I want a Windows Mobile 6.1 ROM with the following:
1. MS Office, Internet Explorer, calculator, etc. (the stuff you kind of assume comes with Windows Mobile)
2. Touch scrolling (I don't know if that's normally part of 6.1 or not...)
3. Some kind of connection setup wizard with T-Mobile for the US as an option
4. The HTC task manager would also be nice, but optional
5. My primary language is English, so I would prefer an English ROM
So I pretty much just want a pretty clean WM6.1 ROM... I feel like something like this should exist, but I haven't really been satisfied by any ROM I have tried so far. Does anyone know of one like this that already exists?
EDIT (this is for a future post because I don't want to take this off topic more): Thanks LivArt; I hadn't tried his yet. The included programs he listed always looked further from clean than I was hoping for. I finally flashed it and it's pretty good.
exhno: cracings last 6.1
I want a WM6.5 New GUI. like Cracing's ROM without Manila 2D.

New GUI is good. Like manilla 2.5
What I want in a ROM
a) Stable. Most ROMs nowadays are stable, but I remember when they crashed a lot.
b) Enough free RAM to run programs, without having to reboot. I really like the latest CRACING rom, except that there are several programs that won't launch unless I've just rebooted.
c) Fast. For our poor Wizard, that usually means overclocking support. So build in TodayScreen++ or some other overclocker. And make it fast even without overclocking.
d) Finished. Don't give me dead links, like on the Internet panel of M2D. Don't leave out camera or MMS either. Naked is okay, but what is in the rom needs to be complete, and seem not like a work in progress.
e) Some things just work better when in a ROM, like M2D and Office. Put those in, whether I use them or not.
f) Anything that would run fine in Storage Card, or anything that is being actively developed so that new versions are coming out, keep those OUT of the rom.
Of the roms available on these forums, I like the following quite a bit.
This isn't ordered: I have a hard time picking a favorite. Don't believe my signature: I'm running RoryB's latest rom today.
S.V.I. / RoryB's Angel series: best 6.1 complete
CRACING's CR96 Touch HD series: best 6.5 complete
xda2_haseeb: some awesome 6.5 roms, looking forward to the New Year
md_bluelily's MSD series: best 6.5 naked
Any of the "alpha" roms by Ham3r: awesome 6.5 and best 6.1 naked rom.
In terms of home screens:
Chome is nice but a bit too minimal, and disables the old plugins.
M2D is beautiful and functional but takes too much ram, disables old plugins.
HTC Home is simple, good enough, works with plugins.
SPB 3.5 is best, fully functional, less ram than M2D, works with plugins.
But you can't put SPB in your rom (it's commercial).
So I'd vote for (in order) HTC Home, CHome, M2D.
Which OS?
I like it fingerfriendly so I would prefer WM6.5.x (with new style GUI).
Which TodayScreen?
M2D looks good but needs a lot of packages (and space) in the kitchen. It also eats up a way to much RAM. If you want other features with M2D you can not use additional today-plugins and last but not least our wizard has a slide-out keyboard and even the new M2D 2.0 has no real landscape-mode.
CHome does not need so much RAM, it has a landsacape-mode and there are already quit a lot of extra plugins. But you need special CHome-plugins and you cannot use normal today-plugins, it does not look good and the features and the controll are just to minimal.
HTC-Home is quit old but it works in landscape, needs only very little RAM and you can still run other today-plugins (like calendar+). It has no slide-effects but still is extremly fingerfriendly.
For me HTC Home (with calendar+) is still the best!
Which additional Software?
With HTC Home you don't need CHome Editor or M2DC. I don't even use HTC Home Config.
With WM6.5.x (without M2D) you also don't need extra touchflo stuff.
Important software:
- Total Commander
- WM5torage
- calendar+
- HTC Album (2.x works much better than 3.x!)
- a good text editor (more important than all the Office stuff)
- I would also add a Midlet-Manager like Esmertec Jbed
I also use TomTom and S2U2 but I would not include them in my ROM.
Last but not least I want a german ROM so I cooked my SKYNET ROM!
I pretty much agree, but I use Office for work stuff, believe it or not.
Oh, and I need a rom in English.
6.5 with new GUI
Try Bluelilly's or X2H's
Hello,
i was wondering what's new with manilla 2.5.20113626 (also known as 2_07) comparing to 2_02 (because there are plenty of ROMS coming out with this version )?
Thanks for your answers
Seb.
I've just flashed Miri's wm6.5 v4.0 with this cooked in.
So far, I've seen the new eReader tab included, better landscape support in some programs and manila is generally much faster then 2.5.19xx.xxxx
Thanks for the info
Many thanks
Hi all!
I'm just wondering if there in any way (soma CAB maybe) to put some icons-shortcuts (e.g. 3 or 4) to Home Tab in Manila 2.1.19202517?
I have this version of Manila cooked in EnergyROM so I have this big White Clock with weather, Call History and Calendar beneath. When one slide a finger up on the clock it gets minimalized to much smaller one at the top of the screen and there is plenty room under Calendar for e.g. shortcut to camera, browser, notes... whatever!
Is this possible to put some icons there. It would be... fantastic! I'm using HTC Touch Pro with again: Manila 2.1.19202517 cooked in EnergyROM Phoenix 2 (WM6.5).

There is a EnergyRom available which has Sense 2.5 included.

Thanks man, but I did so many changes to my present software (I have loaded tons of CAB files so far) and personalized TP on my own way that doing it all again with another ROM is a little bit scary
After all You have to HR the phone after installing a new ROM and all Your data and personalization is lost, right?
Maybe simply there is a CAB to do what I want without changing absolutely everything?
Or is there a way to back up all my data and presets... installing a brand new ROM... and then restore my programs, personalization and all?
im looking for the same thing, i couldnt get 2.5 to work with MMS picture mail so i went back to 2.1 and i want the program shortcuts on the home tab also.. is there such a thing for 2.1?
Anyone? Nothing?
Someone is working on it but nothing yet
Is there a way to disable the HTC messaging and have just the WM messaging on sense 2.5? Ive looked around PPCgeeks and around XDA and havent found a disable for it.
Search for HTC messaging disable in XDA. I am sure it is over there in PPCG as well...
I accidently found a way to WM msging and let me tell you, I am thrilled! I can not believe how absolutely slow the new HTC version is ~ I could mail a letter quicker! Anyway, I have a Verizon TP2 updated to MR2 and CHT 1.8.5
So, before I saw that you can skin the taskbar and softkeybar through cookie's editor, I installed a WM theme that had the bar color I wanted. It appears this theme skinned WM msging as well and made it the default??
Couple of things - keep in mind that email is msg, so will be the WM version as well (AND it is the true WM version, not HTC msging from TF 3D 2.1); the one place where I found it is still HTC is if choosing to send a msg through contacts; and while I haven't really tried, I'm not sure how to return to the HTC version without a hard reset.
(I got the theme from the official WM website under free extras)

I checked site but cannot download theme.
If you post cab/theme I will open & find out what files are used.
I've been wondering the same thing. HTC Messaging since I upgraded to VZW MR2 is just horrible. I pretty much do everything in the Winmo messaging and that works for me. I like the Winmo one better anyway because I can copy/paste.
