Its probably to early to tell but without creating a new rom and waiting for the hspl unlock is there a way of taking the HTC themed calender "setting" tab from the HD2 Leo and adding it into the Imagio. Other then that i think I'm happy with the Imagio, its only that last calendar settings that wasn't polished that bothers me.
I have been trying to get my hands on the files for Sense 2.5 (Manila 2.5), to see if I could overwrite Manila 2.1. If that is possible it could be possible to only use the files for the Calendar tabs or even what ever tabs you would want. I know that there are probably allot of dependences, so we will see. If anyone has these files please upload so people who choose can try them out and see what can be done.
I love the animations but I question whether this would ear too many resources on imagio.
will this work or doesnt the Imagio rom need to be unlocked first

I LOVE the new Manila 2.5 i think its a step in the right direction but theres a problem.
The messaging application with it is riddled with bugs i am persistently having to soft-reset in order to sort it out. At the moment im working around problems by always creating a new SMS when i need to send them but its extremely awkward.
So heres the question, is it possible to cook a ROM with the standard WinMo messaging application instead of the new Manila 2.5 one?
Can i get a show of support and if its possible maybe we can see some/a Manila 2.5 ROM with standard WinMo messaging app.
P.S. If im cluttering up this forum and this should be somewhere else move it/lock it and tell me
I never tried it. But I think they might be dependent on each other.
I am by no means a chef and dont know much about that side of things but i would think it was possible.
If they are dependent on each other, then no. Unless we use a patched version of 2.5, but then the functionality wont be the same.
I do not think they need each other to work. HTC Message works well with no TF3D or TF3D2.1 so I am guessing arcsoft will work with 2.5
I have not had a chance to try it yet but it is on my list so I will soon.
There is already a solution for this ...
I use the Energy Rom Genesis with 2.5 Manila WM 6.5
After that I followed this little tutorial:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=556614&page=1
I SMS trough the WM SMS function, without using the HTC software for it...
I keep going back and forth between the two on my Imagio, but I think once we get TF3D 2.5 I'll be able to stick with HTC's software. Question is: Will the Imagio handle it well?
BTW thanks for the resource here!
me too, I have been going back in forth between the current touchflo version on the Imagio and SPB Mobile Shell.
Has anyone come up with a tweak yet for touch flo 3d 2.5 for the Imagio.
SPB MS 3.5 for me
I have been playing with TouchFlo since the first version on the HTC Touch and it is just too much work. I downloaded MS3.5 and I couldn't be happier. It takes up fewer resources and the customization is as easy as dragging and dropping. I use the leisure theme with a five panel widget home screen. You can add picture frames as widgets among other cool items. The contact management is integrated with Facebook automatically and the smart dial is awesome. If I decide I want to do custom icons later, I can get as deep into the xml component as I want.

See, now, I get the whole "pretty" thing with this shell, but I found it to be just too confusing because it has a lot of redundancies. On the other hand, TouchFlo by HTC is really powerful, but it needs more "clues" to find all of its functionality. Idunno..I just wish we could get this thing hspl unlocked so that the gurus can start cooking up some new roms..
TF3D does not work for me. I need to quickly check email and delete tehm on the fly and access many parts of the phone. Why cant we load the new Sense UIon the Imagio. MS 3.5 is great but the contacts and dialer are badly broken. I cant search for contacts easily by typing parts of the name (only searches file as field) and from the dialer screen you cannot get into the details of a contact to E.G. select an alternate number to dial.
I have been trying both on my new imagio, and am currently sticking with SPBMS3.5. The main reason is that for some reason, the text messaging interface with TF3D messes up my ability to rotate to landscape when replying to a message. I am not sure why...
I have hard reset, and it works for a short period of time, because it seems to be using the standard Winmo texting interface. After receiving a message from a contact, the interface seems to switch to a custom TF3D version, and I can no longer use the landscape keyboard.
Plus I like that I can have virtually all the things I need on a sweetly configured main screen at one tap.
My two cents...

The folks over at PPCGeeks have unlocked the Imagio! And there are a number of ROMs already ready for flashing. As for TF3D and Mobile Shell, I have found no issues with TF, and with the new Cookies home tabs, its even easier for me. I tried that mobile shell, and there were too many reduntant applications, and by the time I got what I wanted set up, it was several pages between what I really needed and what I needed to go through. That, and after a couple days, my phone started to really get buggy. I finally gave up and went back to TF.
Now, that was before flashing to an Energy ROM. Things are much better now! Check out PPCGeeks HTC Imagio section, several ROMS there waiting for you!
You know I just saw those this weekend and they look very promising! Especially the MaxManilla on the horizon. I am not sure whether to go with Manilla or Cookies...Any thoughts?
As for the TF3D and texting, I did some googling and found the fix. Sorry, but I can't remember, but I think it was on PPCGeeks. Had to add some manilla reg values and change one other and voila! It works now. Still not sure if I like TF3D better than SPB, but I am giving it a shot. What I do like is that SPB can have multiple weather cities. I don't think that I like the 3D mail reader on either app.
Thanks again for the tips.

hey guys,
is there a rom like the one from the touch pro2, with WM6.5 and HTC Sence that is stock like?

i want that my touch hd runs as smooth as the touch pro 2 from a friend of me. its with original 6.5 firmware and the speed is really very impressive, like on the old XDAs with 320x240...

i've seen this release already, but this is manila, not sense.
touchflo was called manila till 2.1, since 2.5 its sense, isn't it?
i'll miss the programm shortcuts on the mail screen.
a few minutes ago i saw a post, where someone mentioned that WM 6.1 with sense 2.5 would be very performant like the touch pro 2. is anyone in here who could confirm that?
i want to flash a hd2 or touchpro2 stock rom :-D
sorry if i got you wrong; however, there actually IS a manila version called sense 2.1. it's the one with the weather displayed on the clock.
the touchpro2 stock rom has this version of htc sense (and kwbr released it for HD)
sense 2.5 (shortcuts on home) is meant for 1ghz cpu and thus it will never, ever, be as fast as in a HD2.
win6.1 + sense2.5 = no go as many features of sense 2.5 are heavily dependant on some wm6.5-specific updates
Yes, the Manila 2.1 version in the official Rhodium update is called HTC Sense. The closest to this Miri V30, Dutty R15, Dutty Holy Grail Man 2.1, and KBWR Topix 3.0.2
thank you guys, now i'am actually trying the topix 3.1.2...
runs very very fast and stable! thats like our mobiles have to work!
but i miss the weather and the program shortcuts on the main screen :-(

yes, Im kinda in this situation as well.
while enjoying the speed of sense 2.1, missing the weather and river flow pic album. Wonder why they don't put the weather animations in the weather tab. If they can display fine in homepage, surely they can show ok in the weather tab.

why dont vw put a v12 engine in a polo if they can put in a veyron? lol short answer, if they made every manila the same no1 would have any reason to buy a new and more expensive device
I know this is a loong shot but can't manila or sense be modified ?? like we take out some cabs from a ROM and make a new ROM, can't similar thing be done with manila/sense? take out the tabs we like and put in a new manila!!
Hi,
I've just upgraded to the TD2 from the original TD (which I had modded with various useful apps), but now I require some help with the TD2.
I don't really understand the often mentioned Manilla modification.
Is it a complete ROM update which will replace the WM 6.5 update along with its HTC Sense interface?
Am I correct in thinking that the HTC sense in the TD2 is different from the Sense in the HD2? This is how I'm reading it in the forums.
If this is the case will the MaxManilla update (ROM rewrite?) work still.
Basically I really need to have the calendar on the home screen to display the next appointments, whether they are from the next day or further down the week/month. It's really very frustrating that it only shows the current and next days appointments. It'd also be useful if it showed the tasks (if they're active) too.
Cheers in advance.

Hi im pretty new to the phone wel been using it for a month and I might be able to help you out.
Most roms now run on sense 2.5 which is the roms for td2(aka Topaz) based off of the HD2(aka Leo) it has most functions which run on the leo also max manilla is basically for customizing the look of the interface and yes when you flash your device will be wiped and reinstalled with useful applications and programs just like when you first bought it
manila/sense vs maxmanila
Manila is the core system file known as HTC Sense - you can't install this from a .cab [for now], that's why any upgrade to manila is directly implemented in ROM [ROM rebuild > flash ROM]
MaxManilla is an application designed to customize Manila
-= for now =-
if you want to upgrade manila / sense, you can't unless you reflash your rom
if you want to upgrade maxmanila, that's ok, but that doesn't mean you upgrade the manila core
Hi there,
I've lost overview of the many, many ROMs to try. Maybe someone can help me ...
There are only two features that are important for me:
1) speed and smoothness
2) I want to see 3 (better 4) calender items on the home tab
ad 2) is there another way than using cookie monsters home tab (this needs sense 2.5 and that means the ROM is too slow. I think WM 6.1 and Manila 2.1 would be best.)
Thanks in Advance,
ausgang
Well, try searching a bit harder next time
Topix 3.5 WM6.1 Manila 2.1 Sense weather should be a good choice for you:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=460640
The non-weather one has a rather old Manila, wouldn't actually recommend that.
if you want a Manila 2.1 rom with 6.5.x build (start menu and close button at the bottom) I recommend BlackstoneHenge
@semicuda: I am not 100% sure, but I think I already tried this. As I can remeber theres no way to get 3-4 calender items in the Home Tab...
