Hello, I have an O2 XDA Trion which has WM5 installed on. I want to know how it's possible (or which is the best software/rom) to update its operating system to 6.0 or 6.1. I searched on the forum a little but did not find too much information since I'm a newbie on upgrading roms etc.
I also wonder if my XDA Trion could have possibilty to work like HTC Touchflo. The interface of Touchflo is great. Could you please give me some links where I can download the necessary files for these and the informations that I'll be needing while I update the system.
Thanks.
Welcome to XDA developers , Once you get the bug of flashing , its like drugs, you want to do it every day
All upgrading how to's can be found here
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Hermes
the touchflo cube can be downloaded as a cab file from here. Basically you dont need to upgrade to wm6/6.1 to use the touchflo cube.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=328010
if you want to upgrade to wm6.1 then you will need to cid unlock your phone to allow you to flash a rom than wasn't originally from O2, for that you will need this

info about the unlocker can be found here

As for whats the best rom thats anybodys guess,o2 have officially released wm6 for the trion , have a look in the wiki there are roms listed there
here is a link to the official o2 wm6 rom
this was uploaded by me http://rapidshare.com/files/82987999/RUU_Hermes_O2_UK_3.62.206.2_6275_1.50.00.00_108_Ship.exe
i am currently trying PDACorner Pro v17 which has no touchflo cube program but that can be found here on the forums , if you specifically want the cube included, then just look for a rom with it included or do as i have already said and just install the cube as a cab seperatly
Hope that helps
Thanks for the reply. That helped a lot to have a start. I'll do flashing at the weekend.
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.
Hi everybody.
I'm using the standard HTC ROM (1.14.406.3) and I would like to update my touchflo 3D to the one present inside the Windows Mobile 6.5 without changing my ROM.
Is there a .cab to do that ?
Thanks.

There is no new TFLO3D in WM 6.5.... I'm guessing you saw a custom ROM where someone cooked in the new TFLO3D from the Rhodium.

Oh, ok.
I saw here : http://ai.rs/2009/02/htc-touch-diamond-2-screenshots/ a new version of touchflo (with calendar and new keyboard).
I'm looking for it.

Here is the new TFLO3D:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=493531
But it's for VGA only, i'm not sure what res the HD's screen is but i'm sure someone has (or is trying to) port it to that screen res.
Also, in those screenshots, the Diamond 2 is still running WM 6.1 not WM 6.5.
dwizzy130
yes you'r right.
I saw this version on a WM6.5 custom ROM for the HD (I don't remember its name)
Hi Psykokwak
here is a stable ROM with the new TF3D (it's actually in my opinion the best FRE rom)
http://win-mobile.forumpro.fr/touch...3-os-5221041-version-3-du-14-05-09-t19691.htm
I haven't seen the new tf3d as a .cab so far...

It's not really done from cabs but have a read in the Rom forum
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=453
for more details
pick one of the roms (read the thread first) and if you have questions check the stickies at the top first
then try asking in the thread for the rom you choose

Someone made a cab to install the latest touchflo 3D on our HD.
This is highly experimental.

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.
Hi,
I'm searching for a rom for my xda orbit .. My current rom ist from O2 with WM6 .. But i like the view of the SMS and MMS in WM6.1
So i search a rom where only WM6.1 is included withoud any software like cube, htc home or something else.
Is theire a existing rom?
hey palood, i dont know if there are still wm 6.1 rom's online, but if u check the rom section on the artemis forum then u will see a few "lite" versions of WM 6.5 which are probably suitable for you.
these versions dont have manila,touchflo, cubes or any other graphical enhancements
See this for example ... WM6.5...look the lite version link or use the search function in this forum -->link
Hi..
Thanks for the tip to use WM6.5. The reason of my question about WM6.1 is that I heard a lot about WM6.5 that it is very slowly on the orbit. So I tested MossisV3 Rom. Many people wrote that this rom is very fast. But on my orbit it is very slowly. When I touch the display the xda need about 1-2 seconds to react.
WM6.1 was really fast.
I will test your tip of a clean WM6.5 Rom and hope that it is faster then the other rom.
Do you know a 6.1 Version?
wm 6.5 isnt slow. maybe that rom u tested was a crappy rom, i dont know. but there are a lot of fast roms in 6.5
if u really want a 6.1 rom, u should search forums if there are still 6.1 roms hosted.
