Q for Fuze owners: Is ROM flashing required to try a different touchflo3d?

If I wanted to try a different touchflo, could I just put it on the Fuze, or do I need to flash my ROM?
What I'm eventually thinking of doing is doing a hard reset and remove the ATT bloatware. As long as everything works (BT,GPS,Voice Commander,Opera,etc) after that, I'll leave it be.
But I wanted to try a different touchflo3D. Since the ONLY issue I see so far is the GPS lag that most people have, I didn't want to change the stock ROM/radio since its working for me.

As far as i know, you dont need to flash your rom. Disable TF3D in today settings and install the new version of manila. do a soft reset and activate manila again in the todaysettings.... thats all...

Oh you brought up a good point, I never thought of. If I try a different touchflo, it'll overwrite my original,right? Is there a way for my to uninstall it and go back to the original if I don't like it?

Are you just talking about changing the TF3d theme? That's no big ordeal and only requires a soft-reset once the new theme has been loaded. There's an AT&T theme that you can use to put things back the way they were also.

Great Thanks! Was searching for something like that
Will try it later.

Dude this find is Sweet!!! Think this should be Stickied because it's simple, easy, and it works.
I will be making several different wallpaper CABs with this for my device so I can switch BG whenever. It would be sweet if there were a moile version so I wouldn't have to use my PC to make the files and CAB's Either way this is a 10 out of 10.
Note: In the program you have to go to 'Config' and set 'Profile Name' to 'Manila v2/v3 Default (No Compression)' or else it will not work.
Edit: One problem. The home Wallpaper is not changed even if I select Default wallpaper. Intresting. I will look in the other thread for an answer when I get back from camping.

yes, you have to set the (home screen) wallpaper separately, and you actually dont even have to set it for the tabs after installation - it just works, different from the touch hd (as far as i read this, i dont have one)
but thats fine for me, i wont change regularly, i am just glad to avoid that boring black background

Havent tried this yet. But it sounds sweet...
Just a few noob questions.
Does it require a cooked ROM ?
And can you uninstall the changes if it goes wrong?

There are no cooked roms for TD2 yet as there is no HardSPL available until today. So it is assumed that this works with official roms.

my rom is original and branding-free (and it worked flawlessly). there seemingly were issues using orange branded roms with touch hd.
this cab just replaces a few picture files, there is obviously no risk in it but losing these files, so you may want to backup them.

Another repost...

@rogeriopcf: the title of the other thread is "Full resolutions Background?" - would you have expected the possibilty to change wallpapers in tabs there?

Which Rom is suitable for you?

I made this threat for a guide about cooked ROMs on xda-developers, so the cooked ROMs lover have a guide which ROMs is suitable for them, there is no purpose to compare the ROM, which is best or bad one, once again this is just a little guide abiout the ROMs
like me, first i use ELITE RC3 for my raphael, i really like this ROM, very stable and fast, but the only thing i don't lik eis can't block with my stylush.
and then i upgrade to ELITE RC4, everything great, very stable and fast,have some bug for first but it's was fix by elite team.
and then i try NRG 3.0 magic, acctually this ROM is great but there is problem with S2U software, not suitable for me, and then i back to ELITE RC4 again
just a gfew days ago,i try NRG 3.0 warhawk, until now i think it's still great, did not find any bug yet, unless i can't set same picture for the backround for all tab at TF3D, but that's not a big deal i think
i wait for your experience too
can you all share yours

u shud try tpc v3...i bet u gonna love it...

I like NATFs ROMs as well as Energy ROMs.
Eventhough NATF has swinched to 6.5 cooking, he still has a pretty stable 6.1 ROM out as well.

I like quite clean roms, with stock WM and stock manila 2.1.
without strange customizations like iphone icons in start menu, customs topbar, custom splashscreens etc..
and it seems impossible to find a wm6.5 rom like that. too bad, was ready to donate to have something clean.

NRG 3.0 warhawk is working great for me have had the recent one since it came out and haven't had any issues,

quote from Da_G:
"OK, so i've been working on rebuilding imgfstools from scratch to allow things like uncompressed ROM's, image update, and all that jazz...
This is a barebones stock WM 6.5.x ROM running 23034,
ImageUpdate is currently broken on it (I broke ULDR somehow, working on that!)
But i'd like you guys to try the ROM out (being uncompressed and whatnot) and let me know how it runs. Note that when I say barebones stock, I mean it It's got a comm manager, the camera app, and that's pretty much it
But it should be nice and fast!"

I would like one that is essentially the same as the current stock Fuze ROM from HTC, except with Win 6.5 instead of 6.1.
I wouldn't mind if the trial apps/games were missing from it but it wouldn't matter to me if they're in it. Aside from them, however, I would like everything else that comes with the the standard HTC ROM.
Any suggestions which ROM is the closest to what I want?
Thanks.

All Energy roms work like a charm... the best of the best... too bad NRG switch to TP2.... been waiting impatiently for another great rom... latest Aug 11 (warhack) ... no doubt the best ...

I looked at that but I am not sure it's what I want (unless I am reading something incorrectly). I want only the version of Windows to be different from the stock HTC Fuze ROM.
I wouldn't mind if the trial apps that come with it are missing but that's not important to me either way. What is important is that I'd rather not have any non-standard items (such as apps, skins, dialers, keyboards) or tweaks because I do all that stuff myself and I don't want to waste any extra time figuring out what someone else did differently.
Thanks.

but you can give it a try. If you like stability like you mentioned in your earlier posts, you won't like it. Wait for the full port.

ROM
I have tried all ROM listed in the forum & keep trying every time there is a new one. "Burning my Touch Pro - hahah".
I just try Manila 2.5 today from CM-XOR Pro 1.3_Final, so far it's ok except u have to install KbdFix (to fix the keyboard FN issue). Other than that it is ok. A bit slow thou. Nothing much in the manila 2.5. Mayb more on cosmetic & GUI. One big issue for me, the prog icon is not organize (Genesis is better). All over the screen in "start". I try using "reStart" to organize....not so responsive... so forget it.
Other than that its a god ROM for people who like the "wow" factor on the looks of the UI.
Check out here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=493657
Personally i like a clean EnergyRom Genesis 20/9/09. Full of stuff & no bugs so far, except no Ezinput. (i install myself)+touch respond, to add the most. (hopefully EnergyRom can add "lower task bar" with the "start" & "ok" buttom rather than at the top.)
Other than these two you can try "ExquisiteV3.1_1/10/09". Not bad. I love the "lower task bar" which is very usefull for Touchpro as the screen & body is small. With normal task bar, its very diff to touch the "start" & "ok" button at the top.
Here are my best list (all tested)
EnergyROM-Genesis
EnergyROM-Warhawk
Arkl_V1.2
ChaMuze
Exquisite
CM-Xor-full version
I am waiting for;
Intellirom-Alpha Manila 2.5
Sun-CM team manila 2.5 VGA
Which i m sure when they r goin to release it.
Happy trying......

I am looking for the same thing Stock WM and Stock Manilla with updated HTC Appz. No more than that, just an updated stock rom with new packages. Seems that everybody want to put its "touch" the closest to that was Elite Roms however it seems that their development is freeze

I like RRE 6.1 version rom , works great fast also , no issues from past 6-7 months.

ROMS
If you want a simple ROM try Tael Rom v2.23049. Simple & tweak.

Josh's Dark Fusion
TPC Elite
These are my top two picks.

Titanium. A must for me.
I switched from cricket on titan for a year, and the tp for 6 months. I ran every 6.5 rom for the pro and found lots of things I would like to see an 1 rom.
My fav is NRG. Warhawk was great, genesis did something to my cricket phone. After running it for 2 days my screen started to black out, or the images would mix up. Figured it was me flashing many roms a day and making them all work for cricket.
I bought a NIB pro from sprint and switched service, left stock and locked for 2 days, then flashed genesis and after 10 min on my phone it blacked out the screen. First thing I did was norten scan my sd card. 1 infection found and fixed. Flashed back to stock and phone was ok. Next day I put genesis back on, and black screen issue again. It is back to stock and locked. Not happy with 6.1 but it is a stable rom.
I would love a rom that is titanium with all tabs, cprogram launcher, cweather, contacts, opera, internet favs, and not have to add. Chome editor adding cweather give the tab, but it is all blank with a red X for each day icon. Start menu with all the awesome Icon categories like NRG. No honeycombs. I like all most all the progams from stock sprint rom, and NRG roms like prl update. Adobe pdf, a flashplayer that actually loads images in websites. Flashlite 3.1 don't work, nor flash7 ppc with activeX. Websites show install flash player icon, but not sure which or how to get current for ppc. would like touch pro tweaks from nrg, the wifi router from nrg, a calander from manila that actually shows a calendar. IE from nrg but not the recent builds opera as it shows as a mobile browser in most the sites i visit and puts the m in the beginning of urls. Recent core player, and full screen media player.
I have spent lots of time on ppcgeeks, and little here. I came here looking for a new rom.
Start and ok in task bar above screen. But that changed in build 23034 or 37 iirc.
not a cook, but would love to see a sprint rom close to what i discribed. Just my opinion. CDMA

Except for the custom boot screen, everything is what I was searching for.

My Newest Sense 2.5 Theme: HTC Inspired

He is my latest manila 2.5 theme. Hope you guys enjoy! Just install the theme cab file and then the clock cab file. Hope you enjoy.
P.S i didnt create a stocks or footprint icon because I dont use those tabs.
Having trouble attaching theme file so i made a rapidshare link for the file. Only 10 downloads allowed so if anyone can attach it here it would great.
Update: Removed rapidshare link it was used up. Added a mediafire link.

Nice work dude.

Thanks alot for those that use max manila I also attached a cab file for matching notification icons.

Sorry to be a dunce, but I can't get this working on my Topaz. I installed the cabs, but nothing. It's not showing up on the settings screen as a theme, so I'm stumped. I'm running the official HTC 6.5 ROM at the moment.

Its for Manila 2.5, I'm pretty sure the official 6.5 only has 6.1, so it will not work.
@bcruz410
On another note: What build of manila are you using? Not the version, but the build

iam using the 2.5.1921 version but ive also tested it on the latest energy roms with the latest manila.

Thanks for your quick and helpful reply. Now all I need to do is to work out how to upgrade to 2.5, can I do this without flashing a completely new ROM?
I'll have a little search to see if I can find the solution.
Cheers
EDIT: I can see now that I need to flash a ROM that already has 2.5 in it. Any suggestions? The last time I flashed a new ROM, I had to go back to the official 6.5 because my GPS went mad. It was showing that I was about 400km away from where I actually was, at 15,000m altitude, travelling at around 400km/h.

If you want to change from Manila 2.1 to 2.5 you have to flash another rom...
You can start reading the stickys in the Rom Development section.

Thank you! Any slider is better than the awful (IMHO) original sense 2.5, but this one is really cool and finally woking in my ROM! (with sense 2.5.19211619.0). Is there a way to get the original black-on-white clock?
EDIT: I just noticed that my bottom bar is not like the one in the screenshot, no big deal, since the slider was my main concern.Anyway I'd like to have it aswell, so any help is welcome.

Works great, thanks for this. Much better than the awful theme in the new energy Roms

iam working on some new slider designs because i definitely agree, they are a bit bland. as to the theme that i have in that pic iam using ahens black theme. you can find in the windows theme sections.

nice theme, more relaxing for my eyes than the default one. thanks

EDIT: @bcruz410 .. Thanks !!

Thanks - these look much better than the defaults! Any chance you can do the 'stocks' icon as well - it looks a little out of place among your new versions. Thx

I like it very much, but the sense in my phone is still 2.1.......

@bcruz410
Wonderful theme... Can you please add those two missing icons (Stocks and Footprints) as well, as that would make the slider tabs completely skinned
Thank you very much for your efforts...

i've downloaded and installed the theme but nothing has changed..how do I have to do? I've manila 2.5.. txs

I absolutely love the clock here, but lately it's gotten thrown out of alignment. I'm not sure exactly what's doing it, but I suspect that it's Max Manila. I'm using the latest Energy ROM.
It seems that the clock background gets elongated, which throws everything below it out of alignment; the weather text appears in between the clock background and the split backgrounds for the weather stuff, and then the split backgrounds end up being behind the Calendar header (date and alarm status).
Any chance you might revisit the clock? I really haven't found any other clock that I like as much as this one, and I've tried I should also note that I haven't had any alignment issues with any other clock that I've tried, although most of them have just been solid (no transparent gaps).

nicely done!

Characterising my phone - some clarification please

I blame mskip for this!
There I was with my stock HD2 and enjoying a really smart phone for 8 months.
Then I decided to look for an update to quicklinks to work with the 3.14 ROM and he introduced me to the idea!
So I went from CHT 1.85 to CHT2
And then I saw all the fantastic homescreens.
So I have installed so far:
Brian's Taskbar (gfreek edition) - it was my little boy's call to go with this over Diniks
Rat_2556's coloured notifications
I see some things by Touch of Glass that I like; many things by Dinik that I like and Franwella's Coloured Comms Manager that I like.
(I still have not found a Slider for the Manilla/Sense that I like yet)
Could someone please confirm that there will be no problem to "mix and match" different things from these different people eg (say) the TOG dialer and the Dinik keyboard etc?
Could some one point me to a nice tweak to the Calendar appearance as well please?
Thanks

Mixing things won't cause problems with your device . But with every custom made item you can't guarantee that it will work 100% of the time. But then you just uninstall that item. There will be no permanent damage! And it doesn't matter if you install things made by different people.
Don't know about a nice calender mod though...

you could try dinik mods by you thread,jsmmcabe has done some calendar mods
in Anastasia stylee

If you are still on stock ROM the only thing that you must look fore is that your skins (the one you will install) match with WM 6.5
Ow, don't forget to install "sdkcertsnew2015" its mostly needed on the lasts builds.

Thanks all - and yep I have installed both the old and the new SDKCerts already ( I needed them for the taskbar I think)
