First of all, I just received my new Touch HD last week and I'm looking at the current version of Manilla and ROM. In Settings/About it says:
TouchFLO 3D 1.3.37395.0_1630.38
From which I understand it is running Manilla 1.3? What is the full ROM version? I just don't know how that number is split.
So, it would appear the Manilla is quite old. Is it possible to simply update Manilla on its own?
Is there a newer official HTC ROM with a later version of Manilla?
Is it possible to change the soft button assignments just with Registry tweeks, rather than installing another utility to do it? How?
Thanks.

I bet there is, check htc.com, pick your country and head over to Support.
Latest official roms can be found either on HTC.com or here on XDA.
To update to a newer version of manila you need to flash a rom which has newer version on it. You cannot just update manila as it is embedded into the rom.
I've established that I have the latest version of the official HTC ROM - 1.56 etc, so would I be correct in thinking that it's all just TouchFLO 3D 1.3 from HTC?
Shame I can't just update TF3D:-(
Is it likely HTC will release a new ROM with a later version of TF3D? Are they likely to release a new ROM with WM6.5 some time?
What version of TF3D has the coloured TAB icons?
Is there an explanation anywhere that explains the precise differences between the various versions of TF3D?

Extremely doubtful that you will ever get a stock rom with either manila 2.0+ or wm6.5 for the HD. To get these you need a cooked rom. Why would HTC spend time on this when newer model phones are being released. They want you to pay for it and buy a new phone. Not get it free on an free upgrade.
You are gonna have to use a cooked rom to get what you desire. Read guide in my signature for advice on flashing and post further flashing queries in that thread
Use the search function and search for manila 2.0, 2.1 & 2.5 and you'll see the differences.

hey i was wondering if blackstone will get an offical upgrade to the new touchflo3d (diamond2 or touchpro2) frm htc when the 2 phone releases.
Thanks in advance
I don't think it's reasonable to hope such thing. When you look at the Diamond2 specs, it's nearly a cut'n'paste of the Blackstone's. Allowing an official upgrade to install TF3D2 on the HD would kill the Diamond2 — commercially speaking.
But if you want to get it anyway, you should try some cooked ROMs.
Exactly as clandestino_usr said. For HTC to issue this would kill off other devices by HTC. Rather annoying as Apple give out free upgrades to existing uers, why can't HTC follow suit!!!
You best bet is to use cooked roms. Once new phones come out with newer roms etc, its only a matter of time before a cooked version is available on xda developers. Just wait a while!
interested in this as well. have there been any releases that would allow this?
Yep, there are now several new cooked roms using the 1.56 rom as a base. the 1.56 rom are the roms used in the touch pro 2 and diamond 2 (inclusive of the new manilla/touch flow 3d) - My reccomendation: Dutty's V3 Ship!

hey cool. thanks man. i found a link to wwe 1.56 rom download at htcdriver.com -- couldn't find it when i did a search here in xda. thanks a lot for the help. am downloading now. by the way, i was looking at the dutty rom thread and website for a full list of features that the dutty rom contains, or maybe even a comparison of features side by side with the standard htc rom but couldn't find it --- is that posted anywhere?
does duttys do phone keypad with t9?
i read that somewhere and that put me off this rom
i went ahead and downloaded the dutty v3 ship anyway and yes it does have phone keypad with t9
Unfortunately HD does not have the hardware zoom slider. So we can't do any controlled zoom in the album using these cooked ROMs.
So there aren't any CAB installers present for installation of newer versions of TouchFlo?
I was using cooked ROMs for a while with 2.5 on it, but have went back to the Stock version for the sake of battery life. I'm not impressed by the version 1.3 on it, but I can't find any sort of CAB files for newer versions.
When the TD2 gets the windows mobile 6.5 free update will the new TouchFlo be included? Im just wondering if im going to have to update both at different times or will TF3D 2.6 come bundled with WM6.5?
Thanks
I think it will come with 6.5.
i think it probably will come together but i'm hoping not, i want 6.5but i don't want the new touch flo 'cause personally i think it's not as sleek looking as what we've got now
idk i think the colour will be a nice addition to windows mobile 6.5 and will show off the beautiful screen on the TD2
eagerly anticipating this
WinMo 6.5 for Topaz
Hi Forumers,
Can someone guide me to where can I download a ROM for TOPAZ with WinMO 6.5?; Can't wait October to experience WinMo 6.5
Personally I hope they release 6.5 with Manila 2.5 (or whatever the latest one is)
6.5

Hi, I got my Diamond2 3 days ago, flashed about 5 ROMS so far, and Dutty's seems to be the fastest and most stable IMHO
September 19, 2009 05:42 AM Duttys Topaz WM6.5 R2
http://htcpedia.com/soft/htc-topaz-rom.html
This one runs on 23016 build of wm 6.5 and Manilla 2.1
September 18, 2009 02:52 AM Duttys Topaz WM6.5 Leo R1
http://htcpedia.com/soft/htc-topaz-rom.html
This also runs on 23016 build of wm 6.5 BUT Manilla 2.6 Leo skin (VERY COOL INDEED)
I'm currently using WM6.5 R2 of Dutty, cause the Leo with Manilla 2.6 is very slightly sluggish, but very useable. Once you've hard-SPL'd, i'ts very easy to flash a new ROM, so feel free to try both
I recommend udk's rom.
By the way i think TD3D v2.1 will come with the new official 6.5 rom. Not 2.6.

That's my understanding as well.
Isn't the manilla 2.5/2.6 pegged for the new LEO handset?

I hope so... I think it's ugly. How will I get my wallpaper on my home screen the with way they plan to clutter it up?
As has been stated on several forum posts regarding Manilla versions, 2.6 will not run on the Topaz; It is a new build for a different chipset, and is functionally no different to Manilla 2.5
2.5 is available on many ROMs in the Topaz ROMs forum, but I believe that these are rips from devices which already have 2.5 available.
As an opinion, I found 2.5 to be very slow in the custom ROMs I tried. Manilla 2.1 looks almost identical (you can get skins to add colourful icons, if you like that sort of thing) and 2.5 added no additional functionality which I needed.
Dutty's rom is the best i tried...
I tried dutty's rom but i had a problem with iGO. It runs in 640x480 area and another issue it not supports video calls.
Can some one tell what is the new feature of TouchFlo 3D 2.6 ?
Or any URL/Link where I can see the new feature and download if any for update?
Thanks.
I have installed udk's ROM with WM6.5 and Manila 2.5. It runs very smoothly and fast, and it seems quite stable up to now. I haven't checked other WM6.5 Leo ROMs, so I cannot know how udk's compares with them; what I do know, is udk has produced a very good ROM.
For me, there is no question going back to WM6.1 or Manila 2.1. The new combined Windows + TF3D interface is very cool and functional...

I was just about to try udk's rom. So i have a question to you. Have you installed the suggested radio for the rom? I'm still using the original radio. Should i install?
My radio version was already 4.48.25.13, and after installing the ROM it stayed that way. Reception is fine.
Yes i installed the suggested radio. Now its perfect. I had an 3G issue but its solved also. Thanks for the recommendation.
Can any chef extract and impliment the four new tabs: programs, social, search and tv tabs from the new 1.49 rom and cook into new tweaked roms?
http://htc.hdblog.it/2009/12/11/agg...-1-48-408-1-italiano-e-1-49-841-1-in-inglese/
SORRY! should have gone in the other 1.49 thread. Apologies.
Is this for real?! A program tab is back?! SEXY!
i'd love it if this was possible
would they not be in the new Rom 1.61 HTC Stock TUR-WWE?
Well.. Idont think it would be any problems to cook the new tabs into a ROM, but making a cab to a random manila version could maybe cause some issues. The 2.5 manila is devided in sections (in VK), so i dont se why it wouldt work..
They are only part of the Telstra branded 1.49 rom. It is a carrier mod not an official HTC one.
Hi Guys,
i have a TP2 with Windows Mobile 6.5 and Manila 2.1. But i would like to make an Update to version 2.5 or 2.6.
Unfortunaly HTC gives not an official update and i need the original rom cause CoPilot
Can someone give me a cab of version 2.5 or 2.6? If it possible in German
Evil_Sadness
srry so far there is no cab to upgrade with. if you want 2.5 you have to use a cooked rom. htc said they will be gettin a 2.1 to 2.5 upgrade just no time line.
I would use a cooked rom, but its realy hard to find a rom where copilot live is already installed or to find a cab of copilot.
There is an release of copilot on the htc site but there comes always a error if i want to download. "your device is not compatible"
thats the problem

You won't find Sense 2.5 in CAB form
However, this ROM has Sense 2.5 and CoPilot:

OR, I've just downloaded CoPilot from the HTC website and placed it here for you:

HEY BIG THX to you that helps very much!!

Yes that helps!! Thank you very much
This is doing my head in and hoping you may know the answer...
I have a Telstra branded HD2 here in Australia with the Manila version 1.0.19211622.1. It was purchased from a Telstra store so all is legitimate.
I'd like to implement some changes such as Cookie's Home Tab but my Manila version is not listed being compatible. I tried to install it anyway but did not work correctly (eg. nothing was listed in the Calendar section).
I notice everyone and most pages referring to Manila 2.5.x.
What is this version 1.0 all about??? Can I just update Manila to v2.5?
I understand I can update ROM using HSPL but I don't want to void warranty in any way, nor do I want any potential problems using UTMS 850 band.
Thanks.
I've been wondering the same too. It seems strange that the handset has only just been released in Australia but has version 1.0 Manila?
That is REALLY odd!
I'm afraid you will only be able to use most of the manila tweaks posted in this forum by flashing a custom ROM with 2.5...
