Thanks for the info regarding build 23030.

Regarding the WM UI, we know how Microsoft has sucked so far in this area, that's why phone manufacturers such as HTC and Samsung comes out with apps to try to hide the boring WM interface. As far as Manila is concerned, I believe that at least HTC respected the WM softkey and taskbar area by not messing with it as far as placement is concerned, therefore all the today themes made for WM6.5 works well with Manila. But MS decided to take up more space at the bottom for the buttons (if it is nice, perhaps it can be forgiven) that causes problems with alignment for all apps. What happened to compatibility?! If it drastically improves the usuability by doing so, then it makes sense, but I find it hard to justify this move by MS, even if I want to be forgiving.

WM depends on 3rd party apps to survive, MS knows that very well. They had better not shove everything down developer's throat for something which they can't even justify!!

I am not a fan of iPhone, but I hate to say that a lot of today's innovation for WM are ideas taken from the iPhone. Perhaps MS should just leave innovation part to others as they have proven themselves to be rather incompetent in this area as far as UI is concerned.

Just my 2 cents worth. :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] shruff:
Thanks for the tip, however it is dead easy to modify these files with M9Editor :D its just extremely time consuming to mod it everytime the Manila ROM files change its a pain in the bum.

Cheers :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] miri:
Totally agree with you...let's see what the future will bring to us :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] miri:
Hi Guys,

New TEST version of Premium Manila 2.5 based on 23030 has been added to first post under Test Section.

Enjoy,

Miri
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] shruff:
well thats one side that I agree on some points, yet when MS do nothing everyone complains, then when they take some initiative everyone STILL complains :D

Oh and lets not forget that these large menu'd ROM versions are not were not and will not ever be officially supported by our device, not to mention WM6.5 either :D
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] gohyc:
Haha, interesting point of view, but has it occured to you that perhaps if MS has taken up the initiative and also does a good job, maybe there won't be any complaints?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] z4kn4f31n:
Since those builds are considered under constant development, i'd say the huge ugly buttons look more like placeholders to me...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] shruff:
I would say it is fact not a point of view!

I mean for me it is far too early to speculate on such things anyway.

Updated V6.2

Hi Miri.

I Have looked at the change log and there are things in V6.2 that are not in v6.1 (apart from htc messaging). Are there any major optimizations etc? I believe there is no htc teme in v6.1. I tried V6.2 and liked it a lot. but after a couple of days i was unable to send any text's. so i went back to v26.2. I am getting the flashing bug again. if the new manila build is not available, is there any chance you could build v6.2 without htc Messaging. I need a stable phone for work so am reluctant to try test builds.

Many thanks from a loyal miri Fan.:)

Sorry if this has been asked before.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] maxym77:
please, anyone can upload the new version on megaupload (or other alternative) ?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] martint235:
I love the new ROM too but unfortunately, as someone else has posted, the sms problem is a deal breaker for me and I'm aware that it's affecting all the M2.5 roms so i'll have to go back to a 2.1.

Does anyone have a cab file of the new calendar (that lets you have an Agenda view) that I could install on 2.1 as that does seem to be a great addition!

Thanks in advance

M
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] O_G:
I Don't think Miri wants the test builds mirrored, he wants to keep tabs on numbers downloading.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] miri:
Ok, I understand you need the addons from 6.2 but without HTC Messaging...so I'm thinking to create a REV6.3 with all the 6.2 stuff minus HTC Messaging.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] chrisque1:
Thxs Miri.

+1
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Carl1971:
installed.

Same issue on ACR software with CF...May be not compatible with 6.5.1..:( i posted the information on the ACR thread.

The new 23030 use big icons on start menu.(may be to big for me)

The gray top bar issue is gone.

The task bar graphic issue is always here.

SMS bug seem gone, I could sent and received on mannila tab. need some more test.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] O_G:
Thank you very much:)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] miri:
hmm, then maybe it was not netcf fault :)

i've left them big as they are on original wm and didn't make them as usual, but if you need them smaller, I'll provide you with a cab to do that.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] miri:
No, prob...I'll check also to repair the video playing slow problem and release 6.3 today or tomorrow.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Carl1971:

Hi !

Is there on XDA a topic talking about Manila 2.5 (2.6 ?) activity ?

I tested this Miri ROM yesterday but can't use it in Landscape and I would like to see the news if one day it would be able to.

Thanks a lot !!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] miri:
As you know Manila 2.5 (2.6) is still in beta stage, so at the moment landscape does not work. It will have landscape when it go in final stage.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] dough29:
Many thanks for the quick answer, impatient from having this soon :p
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] tom$oft:

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] waseem77:
very good rapid and stable rom 23030 :)

But the problem is the only new htcmessages

Removal of new htcmessages :confused:
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] grzegorz10:
Miri,

When might you be releasing another version and will it have the Album and Music Animation to Landscape?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Lilith_v2:
I hope not. For me that cab of J-sensor is very slow.

I'm passed to miri's 6.1 m2.5 1.1 for have some speed. I've forgotten the potentiality of this toy (:
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] grzegorz10:
This has nothing to do with J-sensor it is a HTC feature that is available on the new 2.5 the animation to Landscape for these items.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] skulk3r:
the speed will also increase as they work out the bugs and smooth it out...much like wm6.5 used to be slow and choppy but now is smooth.

I can't wait for M2.6!! :D...finally, some tilting animations =]

Dutty's ROM appears not to have the sms problem either, but waiting or Miri's ROM because they're always the best!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Pandemoniumone:
I would love to know the answer to this as well Miri! Eager for a new release of yours :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] o0sYkOo0o:
use this cab. i am running rev6.2
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Pandemoniumone:
Are you saying this CAB makes the album and music tabs rotate and nothing else?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] o0sYkOo0o:
yes, just try it! I haven't installed other rotation apps.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] miri:
Maybe for Manila to do landscape is dependent on sensorsdk, which I doubt, but you can try what o0sYkOo0o posted.

I think that it depends on the Manila version. If it depends on sensor I'm going to include it on future releases so that you can have automatic rotation.

ummm.. using your rom for the very first time. Flashed to Test version and after hard-reset i'm stucked at the orange screen installation/customization part? any help?

Stuck as in the loadbar filled and then empty again... with repetitions.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] gohyc:
I confirmed this. I installed Jmz Diamond2 G-Sensor.cab on Rev6.1, now my Album and Music tabs rotates like in Dutty's Leo R1 test rom. :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] miri:
Great, just tested and will see how it goes with other apps...if everything goes well, I will modify the cab and include it on REV6.3 coming today :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] xaoc747:
Which build will have Rev 6.3?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] miri:
23017, because we need one for daily use
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] gohyc:
That's great! Thanks Miri. Looking forward to Rev 6.3. ;)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] superseagull:
thanks dude

that's great - thanks v much :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] miri:
Changelog REV6.3

*There will be 2 versions of REV6.3, one with HTC Messaging included and the other without HTC Messaging

- All changes in REV6.2 are ported to REV6.3

- General Optimizations

- Fixed problem with videos playing slow

- Updated HTC Keyboard (now you can disable vibration directly from it's options)

- Added Diamond2 SensorSDK (now rotation happens automatically on selected apps...you can add yours in Whitelist)

***Coming really soon :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] maxym77:
Miri, in the version 23017 there is the two large button on main screen of Manila?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] gohyc:
23017 is the same WM build used in Rev6.1 and Rev6.2, so it isn't the same build with the two large button on main screen of Manila.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] xaoc747:
23030 good build I think!? maybe you'll use something (like interface) from?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] gohyc:
23030 has some graphics alignment issue, and some apps won't work properly because of the newly introduced finger friendly buttons, so I don't think it is good enough a build for daily use.

I for one dislike the new WM interface with the 2 buttons, but of course my view doesn't represent everyone else.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] tuantuti:
not sure if u say it right, but i think u mean 3 large button (shortcut to programs), if yes, v6.3 does have it because it is new manila (2.5) :D

thanks miri for v6.3, now i can SMS :D it gonna be a long time waiting for stable and compatible build of WM 6.5.1 and manila 2.6 (hopefully in final build they will be compatible)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] gohyc:
Looks like there are some confusion regarding the large buttons. For 2 buttons, what I am referring to is the WM6.5.1 replacement of the 2 windows softkeys with 2 big buttons. The Manila2.5 3 buttons refers to the 3 app launcher buttons in the HOME tab, right under the date and alarm indicator.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] maxym77:
sorry, i'm referring to 2 big windows softkeys (very bad for me!!! :) )
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] tuantuti:
my bad :D

when i read large button on main screen of manila, i thought it was the app launcher of manila 2.5.

either way, still exciting for v6.3 :D
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] miri:
Hi Guys,

REV6.3 is uploaded and can be found on first post. It has two versions, one with HTC Messaging included for people who don't have problems with it and the other one without HTC Messaging but with WM Messaging, for people who have problems with it.

At the moment only the version with HTC Messaging can be downloaded.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] lethalfriend:
Hey Miri, what about the album and music tab rotations ? are these included as well or not ?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] deepinside88:
miri did u have any manila 2.6 images? hm...is it possible to integrate manila 2.6 into an touch hd rom?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] miri:
Yes, now they are going to rotate automatically on phone rotation.

Thanks to the guys who suggested/tested the D2 sensorsdk cab :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] miri:
I don't have them, if you can help me to find them I will immediately make a ROM on them ;)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] miri:
REV6.3 without HTC Messaging is uploaded and link posted on first post.

Thank you very much for building this fantastic ROM. At first glance all is good. one think i have noticed is the taskmanager takes a long time to appear (good 20-30 secs after TF3d) is this normal?

Thanks again:)

Edit: i am using the no htc messaging version.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] GWADADA:

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] yves707:
sorry, but there are TWO versions of REV6.3. one WITH htc messaging the other WITHOUT htc messaging. so, if you are the version with htc messaging you will of course run into the same problems (no able to send sms) as before as the underlaying manile version 2.5 has NOT changed! so, just take the version WITHOUT htc messaging and wait for the next manila version (hopefully 2.6). it´s really not that difficult... sorry...

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] miri:
Yes, I know...this is due to Album not supporting it. I'll create a cab and post it to Cab repository for this...it will be called "Leo Album", you will have to install it to enable FB/YT upload and also Save to Footprints.

For me most important thing is that videos are played smoothly and this is why I've replaced the Album.

Guys, I've put Leo Album in Cab Repository for people who would like to have FB/YT Upload and also Save to Footprints option.

To install:

1. Unload Manila

2. Do a soft reset

4. Do a soft reset

5. Load Manila

After that you will have the Leo Album options. Who installs this, please check also the video playback and see how it goes.
