Ok, i have a blackstone, with a few installed apps (nothing special). but while searching through the forum i see alot of things about manila.
from what i understand it's basically a new interface for the phone, making alot of things better?
could someone link me to the latest version of manila? i've tried searching but i dont want to go installing an outdated version.
Is it easy to install? (just like most other apps?)
and will i lose all my other apps if i do install?
what are some must-have things to go with manila?
thanks to anyone who can answer any of these questions. i know im a noob
i'd also like to mention i've got the HTC blackstone
Moved as not software release.
Manilla is the code name for the HTC's TouchFlo custom interface for Winmo. I don't think it's available as an upgrade, you'd have to flash a custom rom to get newer versions.

Hi,
Can someone suggest where I can find an install package (ROM or Cab, not sure which it would be) for the Diamond2 Manilla.
I have looked at a number of ROMs in the forum but would rather just install the new version of manilla if thats possible. I have searched but only found complete ROMs when i'm actually quite happy with my current ROM.
Cheers!

Hi Guys,
(I hope this is the right section)
I just bought a Diamond 2, and I'm wondering about is it possible to upgrade to WM 6.5 ?
I don't know much about how does it works - I guess I should change my device's ROM and that will reinstall? If there is one already out ofc..
Also I know probably there will be an official upgrade from HTC, but I cant wait
I'm a .NET developer, so I learn fast
Thank you
[edit] I post here, because I can't find a subforum about this device
Ok I found it. Called 'Topaz'
(I don't really want to open a new topic so please move this if its not ok here)
But the question is kinda general:
I've downloaded one of the 6.5 updates, BUT:
There is any way to backup / save my current ROM? I don't wanna overwrite it...
[edit] Well, I found this -- http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Topaz_ROMs_Shipped
The 4th from the list is the same version as mine. This means, this is the answer to my question ?
Hello there.
I'm a totally new as for modifying PDAs, and I've been reading the Topaz forums, since I recently got one of those, but I find it really hard to understand the needed steps to upgrade it.
I read about how good the Nataly ROM is, but I know nothing about how to install it. My questions are:
It mentions Windows Mobile v6.5, but my PDA came with v6.1. How can I upgrade it?
What does it mean "manila"? I've seen it mentioned with different versions.
Is there a difference between Nataly's and a radio ROM? Can I use them simultaneously?
Do I need to do anything special to upgrade to these ROMs? I think my phone is SIM unlocked already.
My GSM provider is TIGO, in Colombia.
Thank you very much for your support, and I hope I don't get hated for these questions.
1. to flash a cooked rom u need to hardspl unlock which u can find here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=520312
for more information go to topaz rom development section
2. manila is the graphical thing with the slider on the bottom
the latest manila is 2.1 and in the new official rom on htc.com
theres another version called sense and available only in cooked roms
3. about the radios: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=547276
4. there is no need to sim unlock the phone. u need to flash the hard-spl of olinex (1.83 version )
nobody gets hated for questions just for the laziness of not using the search function

Hi first time poster.
I am the proud owner of a HTC touch pro 2.
Ive been reading on this site about the different roms eg Manila but goodness im so confused, im not really that tech pro. In my settings screen it says "TouchFlo 3D 2.1.38158.2", after some reading on this site it seems to me thats the manila version. is that right? if so how do i upgrade it so i can use the custom themes and skins.
Also i have windows 6.1 on my device atm. should/can i flash it? If so what is the recommended rom to put on (if thats the right way to put it)
Thanks in advance.

Welcome aboard
have a deep read here to learn hot to upgrade your ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550540
You can upgrade to wm6.5 if you want.
I can recommend Energy ROM´s
Leo= Manila 2.5 (slower for Rhodium)
Phoenix2= Manila 2.1 (better for Rhodium)
Good luck and enjoy!
thank you so much for your reply.
I just flashed my fone with hardspl but have yet to install a rom.
should i (do i have to) update my wm6.1 to wm6.5 to use the Energyroms?
i guess another way to put that question is, is it worth installing roms on my 6.1 or is it just simply better and wiser to upgrade to 6.5 and then flash a rom?
Give it a try!
Don´t be afraid, if you follow instructions all should be ok
And if you don´t like 6.5 you can always move it back easy!
thank you so much for your replies.
I cant seem to locat.e an upgrade rom for my fone and ive searched these and other forums like crazy, ive googled everything, been on the HTC website i just cant seem to locate it.
Rom version : 1.19.707.2 (51489)
Rom Date: 06/22/09
Radio Version: 3.55.25.27
Protocol Version: 61.25t.25.19U
Thats the infromation on my fone. i put up a thread in another forum and they just showed me the google link for the search and closed the thread. The search didnt help at all. Does anyone know where i can find the update FOR THIS.
Thank you so much
Do a search for Energy ROM´s
How do I upgrade my TouchFLO 3d 2.1 to Sense 2.5?
The topic pretty much says it all. I REALLY want to install CHT, since it has all the features that I would die for in touchflo, but I'm running the firmware that first shipped with the TouchPRO 2. Windows Mobile 6.1 and TouchFLO 2.1. I really dont want to flash my rom if I don't absolutely have too.
Where can I find information on installing Sense 2.5 on my device? If I can't do it without flashing, what rom would you recomend?
This requires a ROM flash.
I suspect you may be using a Sprint device given the versions you list, but can't be sure.
ROM recommendations won't be useful to you unless people at an absolute minimum know what hardware you have (GSM? CDMA?) and what features you value in a ROM apart from Sense 2.5.
you should go over to PPCgeeks.com and look in the upgrade section for CDMA or GSM TP2 ROMs... you can read up on flashing, which is pretty easy to do, and they go into detail in individual threads regarding what the different chefs cook into their ROMs... there are a ton of 2.5 ROMs out there...
I'm too new to post a link, but over at ppcgeeks (dotCom) there is a thread (112066) titled "HTC Sense 2.5 cab ? "
It might be rather useful. I haven't tried it because I'm pretty happy with the stock VZW 6.5 sense 2.1 (for now, lol).
