Oh dear! I would not want to upset anyone still busily upgrading to the latest start-of-the-art TouchFLO 2.n by having TouchFLO 3.n ;)

This is the standard TouchFLO for T-Mobile written by HTC. Maybe they started new numbering for T-Mobile? Does the build number you quote relate to all TouchFLO versions or just the TouchFLO 2.n versions?

Manila 2.1 is now called HTC Sense in the new 6.5 upgrade ROMs.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] DaveShaw:
Sense is (AFAIK) the "My Location" bit of Manila that allows you to display the weather for my location on the today screen, it's also the code name for the HTC Hero interface that first demostrated weather on the Today screen.

The first Manila 2.1 didn't have sense, but then it was added so it's manila 2.1+Sense, manila 2.5 has always had it.

Dave
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Pete_S:
Right, I hope everyone's clear on that now

So, extracting from the various posts:

1. TouchFLO was the first HTC interface add-on to WM.

2. Manila was the second HTC interface. It became known popularly as TouchFlo3D or TF3D for short.

3. Sense is an update for Manila which includes "location awareness". It has also replaced TF3D as the popular name for Manila since v2.5

So, Manila is still Manila, but it's known popularly as Sense now rather than TF3D?

PS:

Hee Hee, that's nonsense then ...

Sorry, Dave, feel free to ban me for life for that dreadful joke

Manila - Finger Friendly Graphic User Interface - this is platform

Touch Flo - The Interface Plug-in for visualization of Manila platform

Sense - the same as Touch Flo but new release
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] aethicus:
So this is good, in this single thread I am able to get a better understanding of each of the versions of UI.

there also OS versions and I assume that TF3D, Manila, and Sense are bound to min versions?

Microsoft has released the following over the last 18 months:

WM 6.1 - mostly found on non-touch devices but I understand has Touch support

WM 6.5 (Windows Phone branded lunch) - fully Touch aware albeit mostly still has the small buttons like "OK" or "X" or "CLOSE" these are not fingure friendly although the UI does fully support Touch devices.

WM 6.5.1 - NOT RELEASED. this is the name MS us using for an Interim release (between 6.5 and 7.0) this release will fix many bugs and update the UI to with the "Fat Finger" tabs instead of the little "were is my stylus!" buttons. there are a few ROMs out there that have these features and they dramatically improve the usability (IMHO). I am running build 32502.x1 (Shadowline - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=526618&highlight=23502) and also Optimal Champious (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=573896&highlight=23502). the first has Sense, the second does not (no Manila/Sense).

WM 7.0 - NOT RELEASED. According to my Microsoft contacts will be a complete consumer friendly UI. I suspect this is going to be positioned as the optimal iPhone competitor along with a slew of new devices. My thought is the LEO (albeit big) with WM 7.0 will rock. There is no date but I would bet this come out in late summer/fall of 2010. think about MS cycles for other consumer projects. you need to hit the holiday season or wait till next year.:eek:

IF you are still running the stock WM 6.5 that came with your ATT Pure, I recommened (but caution if you are not comfortable and know the risk of 'bricking' your phone is possible) that you check out the new builds. 23502.X or greater like OC, Shadowline builds have been running on my devices for almost a week and they are much improved over the stock.

I only wish there was an iphone like (for fat fingers) keyboard out there.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] aethicus:
Just to add, there are lots of great keyboards out there and I have tried a couple of them. I am thinking the screen size on the Topaz is the reason why vs. the iphone.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RitxAngel:
Hi guys. I just follow your forum for a long time, and its just amazing for this kind of information :)

I just bought a HTC Hero (amazing so far) and doesn't know what to do with it, i tried do search but e make me more confused :)

Can you show me a very very very noob guide and tell me what rom to install.

Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paulrgod:
Hi - welcome to the forum.

Being quite new to Android myself i've found it quite confusing and the forums here dont seem as organised as other's (myself coming from the Diamond forums).

Be sure to read all instructions on these steps - you are at risk of Bricking your phone if not followed correctly.

OK first thing to do is to Download the AndroidSDK from Here - Extract the files into a folder on your computer keeping the directory structure in tact - i'll presume c:\androidsdk for the rest of this.

Now to Flash a Custom Recovery Image - i recommend the Amon Ra recovery as it has more options - Here

Copy the downloaded file to the root of your MicroSD card

click start > run

enter cmd and click OK now run these commands from the prompt EXACTLY :-

c:
cd androidsdk
cd tools
adb shell
$su
#mount -a
#flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-HERO-v1.2.3.img

Once you have the Recovery Image Flash the Modaco Rom from Here

Once you're all flashed up, rooted and running Modaco look into getting a good quality class 6 Micro SD (anything lower may cause slowness freezing of your phone) and then you can run Apps2sd (which allows you to install apps onto your MicroSD card instead of using your phone memory).

Hope this is useful - Enjoy!

Cheers

Paul
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RitxAngel:
Hi

Thanks for the tips, i already flash it with a noob guide posted in the forum, but when i come to home i will try this guide.

How do I get ATT mobile video back on my phone without going back to stock rom? Also where do I get the song identifier that came with the stock rom too?
[Imagio General] CodysGrammy:
The one thing that irks me the most about my Imagio is that the screen will only go to landscape for the camera, the VCAST TV, and the Internet Browsers. With anything else only portrait is available. I would really love to be able to make it go landscape for other programs. I have found a couple of free routines that will set the phone to do this but they won't work because the Net Framework on the phone is the wrong version (go figure an older version of Framework would be placed in the most up to date version of windows). Can anyone tell me what is the best routine that will allow me to toggle landscape mode at will on the Imagio?
[Imagio General] Tydougherty:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=92385

or just download the new .net framework
[Imagio General] CodysGrammy:
Thank you so much. I'll try what was listed. Does anyone know why the latest .NET CF isn't installed in Win Mo 6.5? Why would Microsoft not have the latest in the latest OS?
[Imagio General] Americanmetal:
I have 3.5 installed on mine and I'm using Gyrator 2 to rotate my screens around

Great plugin
[Imagio General] CodysGrammy:
Well I followed the instructions for editing the registry and changing the orientation for the TF3D screens works great. Now what about the other programs such as Word and Excel? Do I have to do all the same registry edits for those or only part of the edits? Thanks for all the help guys. I'm about to get the phone the way I like it.
[Imagio General] CodysGrammy:
Was 3.5 already installed on your device when you bought it or did you have to install it? How do I find out what version of .Net CF is install on the phone?
[Imagio General] Americanmetal:
I don't know what version I had
[Imagio General] Sweeny Russ:
I found by using gyrator and changescreen for screen rotation is buggy, slow, and sometimes pages seem to get scrambled. I don't need rotation in all apps that's why I installed g trigger, available here. I have it set up to jerk the phone from side to side and this toggles screen orientation. I also set it up to have the dialer come up when you flick the phone forward and to close programs when you flick it away. It really works great, no crashing. And there are no accidental orientation change. Not to mention it saves you the "phone" softkey and you don't have to try to hit the "X" in the corner anymore. Try it, it is a cab install, and removes completely if you don't like it.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] damonsk:
Hey

I know there are threads related to this issue where an Hero refuses to connect to a network (the bars has a x over the top) however i've discovered something strange with my hero.

With the correct data/apn settings the phone is connecting to the network and will allow me to browse the internet, post tweets etc etc, it actually allows me to do anything thats not phone related. I cannot make calls or sent text messages.

This phone was unlocked and working ok until one day it just stopped working with my network.

The hero is unlocked - I have tested it with Tmobile and Three and they both work. Any kind of o2 sim refuses to work....

Am i being a complete n00b and missing something here....?

Any help appreciated - I;ve spent weeks on this issue and almost ready to give up

Damon
[Hero, G2 Touch General] damonsk:
Anyone having a similar issue to the above, I've found something that appears to help fix this.

Get AnyCut from the market place, create a shortcut to Phone info.

Launch phone info, turn off radio.

Now im not exactly sure why this works but change 'set preferred network type' to WCDMA Only and then renable the radio after a few moments, the singal returns.

Weird and very annoying.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] mccyclone:
Damonsk,

Can you point me to a solution for the other problem where the hero refuses to connect to a network (the bars has a x over the top). I have searched every term I can think of with no luck yet. Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Norfeldt:
Hello everyone! :)

I got an HTC Magic Vodafone 32B with a build DRC92.

I tried the Cyanogen Mod Wiki for my phone. But it failed to run the COC10 build (sappimg.nbh).

Then I did used the gold card way by Armon_RA and then it would do the SAPPIMG.nbh and I return to the cyanogen wiki.

I followed the steps with the only problem that I had to tap the FlashRec a couple of times (hit the "back up recovery image" 3 times before something happend)..

I did the last steps ind "Flash Android 1.6 & CyanogenMod 4.2.2/4.1.9999"

But when I came to

step 12 - Wait. This will take a couple of minutes. Be patient!

It never happend... It just showed the lame red Vodafone image all the time...

Then I tried to use the lastes ROM 4.2.3 but still the same... :(

I will donate 50 $ :eek: to the first one who can help me quickly so I can get my phone back with cyanogen.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Norfeldt:
Bonus info

I formatted the SD card (had only one) before the use of FlashRec.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Hemant:
Suggest you to check the link on www.wmpoweruser.com where the admin says something about android rom upgrade. You can email him and probably save the the 50 bucks. :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kamill:
Was there any info on why it would not run it?

Did you format your SD card as FAT32?

For how long did you wait on the Vodafone screen? I've read it takes even up to 10 minutes...

I've found also that if it gets stuck on the Vodafone screen you have to reboot into recovery mode (with the Cyanogen's Recovery), wipe your phone (whatever does it mean) and apply again the new rom - overally here's much info on that issue.

Also, here I've found a ready Cyanogen 3.9.6 rom for your device.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Norfeldt:
Okay.. I have played around with the phone for a while now.. Done a few things, and think i found the problem.. My FlashRec didn't do the job correctly (Right now it says that my phone is a 32A which it is NOT).

Does anyone have a guide to do flash a recovery of Amon RA or CM by USB cable (I have Vista)?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dyetheskin:
correct me if i'm wrong but is this guide about flashing an android rom onto a wm device?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kamill:
You're wrong, it's about flashing a Cyanogen rom on Android devices.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Norfeldt:
Precisely! And how to do that by using a windows vista computer instead of the FlashRec app.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Euroman28:
I have been trying to cook a rom using

23xxx sys and rhodium/topaz packages but then I compile I get the error that

tahomabd.ttf already exists.

I have tried to remove all the respective OEM packages one at a time but still get the error. Is it possible that the sys build generates the same file twice?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] linshius:
Try to search for tahomabd.ttf in your kitchen directory, and i`m sure u`ll find more than one.

The slution is - delete one of them
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Euroman28:
The trick is there the file doesn't exists in the SYS only a lot of DSM files.

Does there exists a way to run a logfile of buildOS?

Check folders

SYS\COMPLEXSCRIPT_FONTS

SYS\SYSTEM_DEFAULT_FONTS

Just flashed a cingular sx66 with the 1.42 tmobile Uk rom, and got most of it set up.I got the web2go thingy working with internet2.voicestream.com, and tried to set up the mms to work, and it doesn't, and I don't know why.

I can receive the portion of a message that tells me I have an mms from whoever, and to "mark for download", but when it goes to download, it gives me some error about not being able to retrieve the attatchment, and to try again later. Also, if I attempt to send an mms, I get a similar error about not being able to send.

Anyone have any idea why this is happening?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] cerjam:
well what carrier are you using?

and if you're using the same EXT rom as the ukrom, thats very likely why. i've never used MMS since superold plan, but i imagine something is funky with the MMS settings.

I'm going to look at flashing the newest radio, and see if that will fix it.

Ok ... i figured it out finally. WMDC wouldnt even run or Install, i should say, even though there was a setting portion in Control panel for it.

I found a article about how It wont run without running windows media player first. ( fresh Install and never ran it yet) So I went to run it only to find out It didnt exist.

I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate N which didnt have any Media Software included. ( Didnt know that) So, I downloaded the whole media pack and installed. then I ran media player once and Voila! All the phone drivers installed properly, WMDC Installed properly, Phone connected and sync'd.

Whew!! I'm glad thats over. I almost went back to XP Pro.

I'm running two PCs with windows 7, one desktop with Windows 7 Professional (home) and a laptop with Windows 7 Ultimate (office). Currently I'm trying to sync to my laptop since that is what I sync to most.

After reading your post, this is what I tried:

1. Windows updates, it did install some windows mobile thingy which failed. I rebooted the machine, re-ran the update and it installed fine

2. Tried installing Windows Mobile Device Centre 6.1 (64-bit version) again, but it failed. Same message of Unidentified device and status of failed :(

3. I also tried your solution of keeping windows media player running before attempting to install WMDC, but no joy

Can someone please let me know how I go about this? This is frustrating, if I can't synch my pda I might as well throw it out (since I can't chuck out my laptop or job :D)

BTW, I'm running Windows Mobile 6.1, should I be upgrading this to 6.5 as I have read out here? I've searched on this forum but can't seem to find a download link for 6.5 (or perhaps as ASCIIker pointed out I'm going blind :rolleyes:)

Mobile Device Center

I read this post and then was successful at installing device center. It was a weird install though. I am running 6.5 on the Tilt and Windows 7 64 bit on my laptop. I plugged the Tilt into the computer, started Media Player and configured it, and then launched the installer. It ran forever with the status bar saying 7 seconds to go. All the while, the diriver software was still trying to install. I finally got an error message from the driver software saying that it did not install properly. I opened up the troubleshooting box for the driver install and looked around a bit. Eventually, another message popped up in the driver install box saying it was trying again. Eventually, I another failure appeared. At that point, Device centered finished installing, the Tilt connected and all was well.

Total elasped time 20 minutes or so. Enough time to read a couple of pages on a new (to me) Andre Norton book and eat most of a popcorn popper full of popcorn.

Whew.
