Hi
I've got an unlocked HTC Touch Diamond 2, currently running an official WinMo 6.1 rom.
My main question is - is there any evidence that an upgrade to the official WinMo 6.5 rom will improve the phone signal?
My other question:
Will the rom for the Rhodium work on the Topaz? HTC tell me it's the same (verbally), hence the the support page showing the rom for Touch Pro 2.
Cheers

No! For this to happen you'll need to find a suitable radio.nbh for Topaz.
Our WinMo phones can flash the splash screen, OS and radio only.

Hi Guys,
Being reading this forum for a long time but am still a bit stuck.
Am using HTC Touch ViVa (HTC Opena/HTC T2223) currently with its original WM6.1.
1) I plan to flash to WM6.5 but am totaly confused as to which is the completely working version. Is it V13 or V16 or should I wait for V17?
2) What basically is Manila2D/Manila3D? Which version does Opal has & which would you recommend to install?
3) Can all the themes listed in the "development & hacking" be installed on Opal after/without flashing?
thanks for the replies ppl
recomandation
Hi first I change my rom with 6.5 v16, now I'm looking for a wm 6.1 original rom and I can't find one. My advice is to stick with your wm original rom version. If you can make a copy of it please post the rom on the site i will be very happy if you can do that.
Hi,
Congratulations on your Viva, hope it's working well for you.
1) I'm not into beta flashing, and AFAIK the WM6.5 version is a hacked beta version of the OS, so I don't recommend installing it. Maybe if we wait for the original version to be released by MS, HTC will offer it as a free upgrade.
2) Manila 2D (the one that comes with the Viva) uses tabs instead of a 3D cube (used in Manila 3D on other devices).
M2D is basically a simpler and faster version of M3D, which suits the slower processor of the Viva.
3) I know they can be installed on the original ROM, you should first install and download the M2D Customizer. This program will enable you to skin the M2D on your device, and tweak some of its settings. WM6.5 requires another form of skins, so I think the skins in Development and Hacking are not compatible.
Hope this helps.
Good luck!
thx guys...well I don't suppose the HTC would give away a free upgrade to WM6.5 as they said in engadgets...

I'm not sure about anything, I was just speculating.
Upgrade or hacked, I'm not installing any WM 6.5 ROM until it is officially released by Microsoft.

I undestand. Do you now when is scheduled the official release from Microsoft? I didn't found anything about a date..
Maybe sometime in the 3rd quarter, as stated in the following article:

hi guys,
is there any way you can get WM 6.5 on an htc touch diamond?
i've heard that apparently it's not compatible?
Would be interested to hear as well. Original Windows Mobile 6.5 without any personal add-ons/tweaks.
Thank you

Take a look in the ROM section! There are loads of 6.5 ROM's to choose from. If you want a standard 'untweaked' version check out this ROM... download V8 in post #2... superb!
Diamond2 official rom on Diamond?
Hi all,
Since the official 6.5 rom is available for Diamond2 (Topaz):
RUU_Topaz_S_HTC_WWE_2.16.405.4_Radio_Sign_Topaz_61.44tc.25.32_4.49.25.17_Ship
It brings up the question, is it possible or does it make any sense to load it on Diamond, should it work? Of course NBHUtil must be used first.
Thanks in advance!

Finally arrived New Hellenic Rom WM 6.5 HTC Official
Download Here (Rapidshare)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For AthineOS Go HERE WM6.1 or WM6.5 or WM6.5.1
Thanks for using my Rom!!!
i have problem when i try to upgrade my htc touch pro 2...am running wm6.1 english(usa sprint adition) and whwn i try to install the new wm 6.5 greek rom tells me the update utility doent be yhe wright ,any suggestions?do i have to unlock my cellphone
The Sprint version of the Touch Pro2 runs on CDMA network and this is the GSM section of the forum. Flashing any ROM in the Rhodium ROM development thread will brick your phone.
Go to ppcgeeks.com for CDMA upgrades.
Copying the Keyboard settings
Hi,
I installed this rom just to see how the greek/english keyboard was implemented. Very nice dual keyboard. I copied all the registry settings and then I install Ark's 6.5 Sense 2.5 Rom. I copied the settings in but still I cold not get the greek keyboard to work. Anyboy knows why this did not work??
Thanks
Basil

Hi there!
I was just offered a Trinity, so I came here looking for information on how to update it. I already read a lot of things and managed to install the latest Radio and tried some custom ROMs, no problems whatsoever.
However, I still have some questions I can't find answers for:
1 - Why use a custom ROM? Isn't it possible to use the original WM and then install only what you want?
2 - If it is, where can I find a ROM with the original WM6.1 and 6.5?
3 - If not, what is the least modified ROM I can get with 6.1 and 6.5? Or at least some ROM with only the basics.
4 - Is TouchFlo the same as Manilla? I've seen both words but I don't know the differences.
Thanks in advance!

1. Flashing Custom ROM is faster then installing a whole package like with manila2d.
2. No, trinity only ship with original 6.0 ROM.
3. If you want 6.1 ot 6.5, flash an Ultralite ROM or cook your own. For p3600i 6.1 - try this
p3600i 6.5 try this
If you have the original p3600. Check the Trinity Upgrade Article in the wiki. Remember Lite ROM.
4.TouchFLO is the original that is shipped with the Elf/in
Kaiser etc... Manila is TouchFLO3D and it is bundled with the Diamond and Pro. And Manila2D a slimmed version of TF3D that is used in the Viva and 3G and can be installed in most WM phones.
Hello!
I have a huge problem. I've had some problems with the battery on my HTC TP2 and in service they changed it. The problem is that they made an update to the software to what they call it is the last version: WM 6.5 with HTC Sense. I didn't ask for this and since it was a hardware problem I don't know what happend.
I asked them if they can downgrade to WM 6.1 like it was in the original phone and they said they couldn't do that.
I was wondering if I can get any help here?! Is there a way to find the original WM 6.1 from HTC? They don't have a version for HTC TP2 on their site ... So, how could I solve this problem?
I hate WM 6.5 with Sense because it moves really SLOW! Yes, it has many interesting things but there are a lot of badly made things . This is why I want to erase it from my phone.
Regards,
Laurentiu

Yes the 6.1 stock roms are there too
cheers
Thank you!
And that is the original ROM??? From HTC? Released especially for this phone???
Well not all off them on that page!
But the ones that start with "RUU_Rhodium_HTC_" are the official ones released for the rhodium (HTC Touch Pro 2) by HTC.
You just need to pick your language or the world wide english(WWE) variant.
In my case i am from the netherlands and would have to choose: RUU_Rhodium_HTC_NLD_1.19.404.1_Radio_Rhodium_3.44.25.27_Signed_Ship.exe
Cheers
ps. in my signature is one of the best wm 6.1 roms i have ever stumbled upon. If you are not persistant in keeping your phone "official" HTC, i can really recommend that one. Loads of RAM very stable. Beats the stock rom in every way. But you would have to flash your htc touch pro 2 with a non official rom. (check it out at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=618063)
Bear in mind that if your phone doesn't have HardSPL, you won't be able to flash most of the official ROMs (there are loads of them), you'll only be able to flash official ROMs designed for your specific model/branding of phone. e.g. I have a Vodafone UK-branded TP2, so without HardSPL, I can only flash Vodafone UK official ROMs, I can't even flash a generic HTC official ROM.
With HardSPL you can flash any ROM you like for your phone (GSM Rhodium), official or "cooked" (custom).
