Touch Diamond2 to get WM6.5 and updated Manilla! - Touch Diamond2, Pure General

"HTC has confirmed an update to Windows Mobile 6.5 for the HTC Touch Diamond 2, Touch Pro 2 and HTC Snap. The update will also bring updated versions of TouchFlo3D, bringing it closer to the HTC Sense user interface, said Lars Christian Weisswange, Regional Director of HTC for Germany, Austria and Switzerland (DACH), in an interview with AreaMobile. de.
The update will be provided as a free download from HTC’s website. Whether the software update will be released on October 6th or later is not known yet however, but should not be long after."

This makes me happy!

Not long now

good news~~~~ cant wait for it... wondering how Garmin can be transfer or not..

That's really good news!!!
I have liked WM 6.5 and Manila 2.5 / 2.6 since i have found it here, but i only flash original ROM's.
The waiting payed off.

Cool.. Thanks for the news... Hope this will resolve issues like battery drain .

Can someone advise? I have never flashed a ROM and have kept my phone standard.
Will it wipe all data and will a hard SPL be needed when upgrading?

HardSPL is only for cooked ROM's and stuff, not for branded ROM's.

Yes, installing a new rom will wipe all data. However you can backup contacts, calendar, notes and tasks with ActiveSync and you can backup everything with PIMbackup.

Windows Mobile 6.5 to (finally) arrive October 6th
Microsoft have announced that they will be launching the first 6.5-powered phones on October 6th. Some handsets, such as the Diamond2, will be getting updates while new handsets will be appearing with..
"New customer experiences through an improved, easy-to-use user interface, better browsing capabilities and access to valuable services, including Windows Marketplace for Mobile and Microsoft My Phone."

No twitter integration on manila 2.1

The question I've been asking myself is, will D2 really handle WM6.2+Manila 2.5 without lag issues? I mean, Manila 2.5 was ment for Leo with a 1ghz processor, not a weak ****ing 528mhz..

you're quite right to be conerned.. but actually a std 2.5 Manila was fine on mine (As shipped with Duttys latest ROM)
Just don't put all the fancy animated backgrounds & pretty clocks that you can get on this site or you're bolloxed. The thing ran like it was like walking through treacle. Once I'd reflashed back to a std black & background it was fine..

Well I hopped onto the HTC website for some info and was disappointed when it refused my S/N.
I have a UK Orange HTC Touch HD, popped my S/N into the box on the UK HTC website and it rejected it.
It doesnt look like a huge update so I am not so bothered but a bit miffed that its not working.

my UK purchased 'unlocked' HD serial number is being rejected as well, so I cheated http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=501583
since when did the UK leave the EU ???
differences i've noticed in using the new rom for about an hour
1) GPS lock is quicker (and i was previously using the latest radio on a stock UK rom) haven't been on a trip yet to test the lag though
2) Phone feels a little bit quicker to respond (but this could just be me)
3) Activesync doesn't seem to start all the time
4) occasionally the first time you go to turn wifi on it doesn't actually turn on and you have to turn it off then back on again (but it does start correctly every time after that)
5) addition of Iplayer as a program and on the internet tab
I'm impressed so far, am very glad that i read these forums first and went back to the stock SPL before flashing though

Do you mean their's an actual iplayer program or is it just a shortcut that opens opera to the iplayer website?
This iPlayer application sounds interesting, hopefully it can be extracted soon.
what I've noticed:
- calendar bug has been fixed, now it starts in monthly view if set earlier.
- active sync doesn't run all times - saves memory -

HTC says: "This is a generic software update. Any additional software or settings provided by your mobile operator or company will be lost. If you require this customization, please contact your supplier first before upgrading."
It's part of the HTC OEM deal that locked operators have to repack the upgrades with their config and branding, and release it via their own website. I assume HTC is simply ignoring any serials that were sold with branded ROMs to avoid people accidentally killing their phones' operator-specific software.
delete windows mobile 6.5
If i download this rom update.
Will it then delete my windows mobile 6.5 version.
I hope it will be deleted,

Attention UK Vodafone Users - New TF3D2.1 in Black (OEM)

I think like the rest of you, we just don't know when or if Vodafone will release 6.5 for our TP2's.
Therefore, carrying on from my other thread where I was prepared to pay £100 to someone who could sort out a cab file for the OEM Manila 2.1 for my phone, I have sorted this out myself.
I won't go into great detail, but suffice to say that it took me all weekend to go through what files were needed and what wasn't.
So with out further a do, attached is my effort. Be aware, it is 33.9mb uncompressed. I suggest that you hard reset your device before installing this although not necessary. I would also suggest that you do not let the device go into sleep mode, un-check all the options in the battery power saving. It takes a good 10 minutes to install as there are 2236 files.
This version is 2.1 and includes the facebook integration, which does work. The cities on the weather tab are the standard, London, Manchester, Birmingham, Cardiff and Edinburgh. I have also included the Slide to wake mode for the hardware keyboard.
I have also included HTC's standard black *.tsk file so that if you want, all the icon selection colours will be green. I have left these alone on the vodafone tsk as I don't mind the blue.
The comm manager switches are now the correct colour highlight focus, all "buttons" are green with the exception of the active sync connection page which is the original black.
Go HERE to download
Hey Allen... I went to the Voda store yesterday and the kind lady told me that 6.5 should be releasing by next month of not within this month!
Not much of a specific date but hey atleast they are releasing the new versions pretty quick! Hopefully they have not bothered to tweak it with their Red themes!

Effectively yes. I extracted all the files from the latest WWE ROM which contained Manila 2.1 like ours.
Hopefully I will be able to do this with 2.5 but it depends how VF have bastardised it.

RUU_Rhodium_Vodafone_UK_1.14.161.6_R1_Radio_Rhodium_3.44.25.27_Signed_Ship.exe
They also list the following ROM 5.10.161.1 - allegedly for VF UK but my serial number doesn't work for that.
This is from Vodafone Turkey.....so I think the UK will get the same rubbish !!!

Can this manila 2.1 work on say... an at&t tilt 2 (touch pro 2) And does it include the weather clock?
i'm really not seeing why you wouldnt just HARDspl and flash a stock or cooked rom from one of the mithelin star chefs on here.

Because it's not something that I wanted to do, "horses for courses". Besides, it has given me an insight as to how it all bolts together. It also gives anyone else who doesn't want to change ROM's an alternative to the VF rubbish.

Copilot 8 and win 6.5

Just a quick question before I upgrade to win 6.5 on my Diamond2. The previous rom had Copilot7 installed and this prevented Copilot 8 to be installed as the previous version had to be removed and being in the rom this was impossible I was lucky enough to have had an older rom that did not have Copilot 7 on it so I was able to upgrade without a problem.
So the question is: does win 6.5 rom have Copilot installed in the rom thus preventing an upgrade to Copilot 8.
Wulls,
Are you talking about the official WM6.5 stock ROM, or a cooked ROM? If you intend to flash the former, then I don't know, but if you will be flashing a cooked ROM then it will not have Copilot 8 installed and you can do a fresh installation without any difficulty.
The official stock rom has CoPilot7 included.
Thanks to all for the quick reply yes it is the official stock rom I would be installing.
That sucks I would have thought with a new rom if HTC would have installed the latest ver. of Copilot.
I don't suppose there is a way around this?

It's entirely up to you, but cooked ROMs are miles ahead of stock ones, and from what I've read, the official one is way behind (manila version etc) the current cooked ones. I was hesitant to hard-spl my device and flash a cooked ROM, however it is easily the best the thing I've done with regards to my device - it opens up endless opportunities for having the latest look and feel and being able to customise etc. It is also very safe and almost risk-free if you follow the instructions correctly!
What I'm saying is that you can have Copilot Live 8 quite easily by taking the leap to a cooked ROM (the 'new' price is the same as the 'upgrade' price). I've done both and have no regrets, but it's up to you of course.
SKTools Uninstaller did the job for me....version 8 here I come
Thanks sb09 for the reply I have often thought of going the cooked rom way but I have read here that so many have instability and slowing down problems with the diamond2.
It looks as though I may have to go this way, which means I have lot of reading to do on how to install cooked roms. Do you have any recomendations as which cooked rom I should go for.

wulls,
If you are tempted, then I'd say don't hesitate - just do it (you will not regret it I promise). Just take lots of care initially and follow instructions, and when it's done, you'll say to yourself "well that was much easier than I thought it would be" - bet you!
We each have our our preferences and opinions, and many of us are devotees of one particular chef, though others like to try them all out.
I liked Dutty's ROMs since the days of the Touch Diamond. He churns out updates on a regular basis, listens to user feedback, and takes the safe reliable route of stable ROMS (which would definitely benefit the likes of yourself as a beginner). Others like udk, shadowline etc take more risks and can sometimes be more innovative using the latest builds etc, but these come less stable. Each to their own, but I prefer Dutty ROMs, and would strongly recommend you flash one of his (I stayed on his Leo R3 for a while cause I couldn't fault it, but now I'm on his Leo R6, though he's recently updated to R7 but I don't update mine on every occasion).
Hope this helps a bit. You'll be surprised how easy and safe and reliable it is once you get over the first steps! And you can upgrade to CPL8 of course.

Bought CP8. BE WARNED. Not all of the features work on the TD2. Some of the live features are greyed out thus reduceing funtionality. Fuel prices, Live local search AND Live Traffic. last one was a bit of a shock considering the money spent! BUT their site does say that CP8 MAY not work with TD2 so you takes your chances. If anybody has a fix especially for the traffic - very interested. Otherwise a graet product that complements your phone!!

It has nothing to do with the TD2. Fuel Prices, Live Local Search and Live Traffic have not been released for CP8 yet. They are not there on any device.
It is fully compatible with the TD2, there only may be problems with TD2's that came with CP7 pre-installed as that version can't be uninstalled (easily) stopping the CP8 install from working.
Please see this from ALK...
Thank you for contacting CoPilot Technical Support.
The current version of CoPilot Live 8 that we have on sale is fully compatible with the HTC Touch Diamond 2.
Unfortunately if you have a previous version of CoPilot 7 pre-installed with the customized version of CoPilot Live 7 for the HTC Diamond II on your device you won't be able to uninstall it and re-install the new version as HTC stop CoPilot from being removed from the device once installed.
In order to check if you have the customized version or not please send us your software build version:
Launch Copilot on your device / More / Settings / More / More / More / About Copilot / Version
If you have any further questions, or feel that this incident has not been resolved to your satisfaction, please do not hesitate to bring this to our attention.

I must have missed the above when I went searching the CP site. I myself didn't find it too much of a hradship moving from CP7 to CP8 and I personally think the benfits are WELL WORTH it. If you're on the fence - go for CP8!

copilot 8 is available on the td2 as i selected the device- as loads others here have as well
but if you think that £26 is a lot of money for a sat nav service, then have a look at wayfinder - £50, blackberry telmaps - £5 a month, or tom tom which is what? £80+

HTC Weather Tab and Twitter Cab

Hello there.
i'm newbie here and would like to ask your recommendation.
i'm using htc touch pro 2 (T7373) and when first bought it, it was preinstalled with WinMo 6.5 official roms WWE Asia.
after few weeks, i found that Winmo6.5 is sluggish and feel like to downgrade to winmo6.1 and resulted me to download and flash the winmo 6.1 Asia wwe rom.
with that, i'm happy since it is faster than 6.5, no lagging issue, sms also smooth. but 2 things i missed much are home weather tab and twitter/peeps application.
is there any option for me to install those thing into my device. i wish that i can have twitter tabs in my touch flo 3d and also, the home screen displaying our current location and weather.
the existing weather can only accomodate preset location and not a real time location.
any helps will be much appreciated and sorry for my local english.

I think the advanced features you want are only available in the 6.5 (or 6.5.x) ROM. You might try flashing a newer ROM. Since you are flashing WWE, you might try the latest NRG ROM - it is really excellent, and based on the latest software from MS.

[ROM]|"SensePhone"|WM6.5.3|23152|Sense 2018|3.14.531.1|

Introduction:
I have been around for a few years "cooking" Windows Mobile ROMs for various CDMA devices from the Titan and ending with the Rhodium. I took a break form Windows Mobile and bought an EVO and had cook a few android ROMS, but had gotten very bored with the lack of internal customization of Android, so I decided to buy another WM 6.5 phone and restart my favorite pass-time hobby.
Concept:
The "concept" of this ROM is based off of what HTC did with its Sense interface and how deeply HTC embedded Sense within the Android OS. I like using Sense on Windows Mobile and wanted to do the same with what I believe HTC should have done with WM 6.5.3, so this ROM is alot different from your normal ROM as it is solely based and dependant on Sense.
Features:
This is not a "feature" ROM in fact most of your normal Sense features like Facebook intergration, Twitter, and Footprints have been disabled and removed for the time being since those are services that I do not heavily rely on, however if interest persist I may add Twitter and Facebook intergration later. The ROM does contain most of HTC's common Sense software such as Audio Booster to the Voice Recorder with the removal of the "bloat" software such as the WorldCard Business Card Reader, Java Blend, and JetCet Printing.
Summary:
This basis of this is to remove as much un-neccessary parts of the WM 6.5.3 OS to replace it with Sense to make Sense as much of the main OS as possible.
Instructions for flashing:
Code:
This ROM is compatible with all HD2 devices manufactured by HTC.
If you're a beginner, please read as there's a few things you need to do first.
•You need to install a modified SPL on your device that allows installation of custom ROMs such as this one. It's called a Hard SPL and it's here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611433.
•You need to install a compatible radio that works with this ROM. The radios that work with this ROM all have ".50" in their name.
If you have a TMobile USA branded device, then you don't need to flash a radio. The ROM will work just fine with it. However, if you own an asian or european HD2 then you NEED to flash a .50 radio.
* :HSPL 1.66 Minimum recommended.
* :No Radio is included in this release.
* :Correct radio needed to enable 576 ram for NON-T-Mous HD2 users.

TESTING THE ROM FOR PERFORMANCE
* Flash the ROM
* Hard reset after ROM Flash orTask 29 before Flashing ROM either choice
* DO NOT INSTALL ANY 3RD PARTY APPS UNTIL TRYING THE ROM FIRST AND READING IF YOUR SOFTWARE IS COMPATIBLE WITH WM6.5.3, This will help to give you the experience of the base ROM
* I dont use 3rd party apps or tweak since my rom is tweaked how i use it daily.
* After testing the rom and your'e happy, Install your software one at a time then soft reset and try the device to see if anything any bugs occur.
Disclaimer:
This is a ROM that I created for myself with me in mind, that I am sharing with the XDA community. If enough general interest is surfaces any feature that is not present or that should be remove will be taken into consideration in future ROMS.

Fat boy Norton scaremongering again?
Hey thanks you guys let me know what you think I have to finish my OP but it will be later and we will call this a beta
So far so good, no freezes, crashes or glitches.
All connections work.
Good work.
Thanks 10 char
http://www.mediafire.com/?jhn239kfztxd5xs Updated ROM and updated first OP ... don't sleep on this one I will put my old rep on the line and say that this one is as stable as the most popular ROMs
So this is stock Sense ROM, but based on WM 6.5.3 and without twitter, facebook and bloatware?
If yes, it's really cool! However I miss twitter, is it possible to bring it back?
"results"
hello,
well, i got back from droid as few of things i need did not worked. so needed something to start again with
so .. i flashed this and i must say i am pleased very nice, everything thats needed, nothing more. ok, i need some of my usual stuff, but thats MINE .. but ..
of course there should be "but.." you cannot satisfy everyone
the only thing i really miss in this rom are buttons. close/back/send in combo with back .. you get the idea .. one of the main problems in droid is missing those buttons, and destroying hw buttons on the bottom of the phone. yes, i know those hardware buttons are there for that, but as we all know, they are not so good in quality .. so .. if this could be solved, this would be the perfect rom .. well, for me anyway
cheers

I will make a cab for this it is just a registry tweak
If it's just a registry tweak, you can simply post it, I think we can do it ourselves .

cabs are silly for simple registry tweaks.
Since you did not get an answer raven, the entries are listed below. Change them to 0 or delete them if you want the stock 6.5.x interface.
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\BubbleTiles]
"TextModeEnabled"=dword:00000001
"HardwareStartKeyEnabled"=dword:00000001
"HardwareDoneKeyEnabled"=dword:00000001
