Corrupted RAR Problem
Mediafire is always giving me problem where uploaded RAR is corrupted. I've added recovery record in the RAR, so you can use WinRAR to repair it.
Known Problem for Sense 2.5
The description field in Appointment Editor is still in WVGA. All efforts to patch it to VGA ended with failure so far.
Some fields like combo box will displayed as WVGA when switching between landscape and portrait. However, the button for the drop down is visible. Still figuring out why this is happening
14/12/2010: Exquisite V4.24 - 23151 (Sense 2.1 + Titanium) (Sense 2.5 + Titanium)
Fixed Touch Pro hardware keyboard layout
Fixed bluetooth headphone problem with Music tab
Fixed ringtone problem (pinpointed to Opera 10 and large EXE problem)
Addon: Sencity theme
01/12/2010: Exquisite V4.23 - 23699 (Sense 2.1 + Titanium) (Sense 2.5 + Titanium)
Solved bold font issue. Now EzInput and Dialer looks weird since my eyes are used to the bold font issue already.
Fixed landscape issue for Settings tab
Fixed 2nd layer Messages tab where it was unable to scroll to the top of the list
Fixed "Shop Music Store" link in Music tab
Removed "Lunar Calendar" menu item in Calendar tab
Updated EzInput (Engine and IME) - hoping that no new bug introduced
Reverted to older Ringtone plugin from Rhodium to see if it solve the ringtone unable to play issue - Darn.. the problem remains... seems like Opera related problem...
13/11/2010: Exquisite V4.22 - 28244 (Sense 2.1 + Titanium) (Sense 2.5 + Titanium)
Updated Sense to 2.5.2019. Since this is an update, some Sense tab might have issues.
Fixed bold font in Phone Canvas and EzInput (landscape numeric).
Fixed "Save To Contacts" issue when number is tapped in SMS.
Default page pool is 8mb.
Fix: Missing Twitter tab.
Fix: Enable ICR (In Call Recording).
14/09/2010: Exquisite V4.20 - 23138 (Sense 2.1 + Titanium) (Sense 2.5 + Titanium)
Fixed loading applications problem after Opera 10 has been started... well at least I hope the problem is solved because I can now load Garmin Mobile XT after starting Opera 10. (flashed my Touch Pro more than 50 times to figure out the problem).
Fixed some of the problems pointed out by bobzero, though not all yet.
Fixed Comm Manager WiFi Wizard landscape mode.
Fixed numeric EzInput layout in landscape (font still bold though...)
26/08/2010: Exquisite V4.19 - 23133 (Sense 2.1 + Titanium) (Sense 2.5 + Titanium)
Upgraded to Sense 2.5.20183025
Upgraded lots of packages from new ROMs
Lockscreen now do not experience delay after resuming from suspend mode. However bold font is back (only in dialer and EzInput).
Most new packages are from Chinese or Taiwanese roms and I need to translate new strings in the Resource files. I might miss some. If I do, you might see an empty dialog/message box displayed. Please report this so that I can fix it. Also report any wrong translation, for example in a CHS rom, the message box actually reads, "Ok, Edit or Cancel?" but in WWE rom, it should read, "Are you sure you want to cancel?".
FIX: Exquisite 4.19 SP1
31/07/2010: Exquisite V4.18 - 23128 (Sense 2.1 + Titanium) (Sense 2.5 + Titanium)
Moved to WM 6.5 build 231xx series as I feel that the memory management is better
Updated some packages from Huashan 1.00, Hengshan 1.16 and Rhodium S2 2.10 ROMs
Updated video driver from Rhodium S2 2.10 rom, though I think it's the same version. It's hard to tell as no version is indicated in the driver.
Removed HTC Messaging Client at everyone's request
Reverted back to old style first boot configuration (AutoRun) because some settings are incorrectly done by RunCC. It's the reason why time synchronization and auto time-zone do not work. However XDA UC is retained (will run on 2nd boot).
Fixed XDA UC where cabs that are supposed to be installed in Storage Card ended up in main storage.
Fixed signal icons in title bar.
Download build 23569 (Sense 2.5).
27/07/2010: Exquisite V4.17 - 24623 (Sense 2.1 + Titanium) (Sense 2.5 + Titanium)
Updated some packages from Huashan 0.93 ROM
Added no arrow mod to EzInput
Added threading email to tmail.exe
Added XDA UC.
Sense 2.5: Added mod to disable clock flip (thanks to ted973). It's still enabled by default. To disable,
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila]
"DisableMinuteFlip"=dword:0 ;0 to enable minute flip 1 to disable minute flip
"DisableDoubleFlip"=dword:1 ;0 to enable hour and minute flip 1 to disable hour and minute flip
Sense 2.5: Removed attachment icon in HTC Messaging. Can be reenabled by registry edit,
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\HTCMessaging\EditItemParameter]
"ToolBarMode"=dword:00000001
"HandWriting"=dword:00000001
Fixed In Call Recording
Fixed Bold font issue
Sense 2.5: BG4All mod now uses WM wallpaper. Setting custom wallpaper in Sense 2.5 will also change the wallpaper for WM. The problem now is, they do not get refreshed until you either switched orientation or soft reset.
Problem encountered:
Sync time does not work properly now. I'm not sure what's wrong but sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Previously, it always works, even right after a hard reset. I'm not sure whether it's a time server problem or something to do with the way the rom is initialized now. I'm giving up on this one (cooked/reflashed more than 10 times a day for 2 days.)
Sense 2.5: The music list in fullscreen mode in Music tab with Bg4All mod is still unresolved. I'm getting lazy to fix Sense related problem.
Sense 2.5: Most Sense 2.5 combo box list will still be in WVGA, thus you can't scroll until the bottom. As above, I'm getting lazy to fix Sense related problem. Fixed
Changes made to UC support:
Upon first boot, device will set up itself and reset
Upon 2nd boot, XDA UC will run to set up user customization from Storage Card. Original sdconfig.txt can still be used. You can also try the alternative way of configuration by following this thread.
11/07/2010: Exquisite V4.16 - 23127/23569 (Sense 2.1 + Titanium) (Sense 2.5 + Titanium)
Added Bg4All mod with default wallpaper.
Fix some bugs in Sense 2016.
Fixed lockscreen issue where it causes havoc to the whole system.
Note:
The font in WM6.5 21664 appears bold. Some people consider that as a problem... but I like it.
To remove the arrow buttons in EzInput, please install EzInput No Arrow.
If suddenly after installing any cab and you've called up the lockscreen and everything seems to not working right, soft reset and go to \Windows and delete lockscreen.dll.
Update: Download build 23569.
Note: Disable HTC Messaging the dirty way.
05/07/2010: Exquisite V4.15 - 21665 (Sense 2.1 + Titanium) (Sense 2.5 + Titanium)
Updated Sense 2.5 to build 2016.
You can now remove shortcuts in Home, People and Internet by tap-and-hold and drag them out from their socket.
Fullscreen landscape is enabled by default for Photo and Music tabs. To disabled it, install this cab (coming soon).
Home tab (landscape) now shows 2 columns of shortcuts.
Removed CHT. Please download CHT manually if you want to use it. After installing CHT, the photos Photo tab will be misaligned. Please delete 675e2983_manila from \Windows.
Updated some packages from Leo S 3.04.
Fixed the link in Comm Manager where tapping the "Phone" bar now brings up HTC Phone settings, instead of WM native Phone settings (problem introduced in V4.14e).
Note:
The font in WM6.5 21664 appears bold. Some people consider that as a problem... but I like it.
To remove the arrow buttons in EzInput, please install EzInput No Arrow.
Mirror provided by Majorasshole.
FIX: Lockscreen lock-up fix. If you happen to start lockscreen, upon soft reset, Sense would not start up. Just install the fix and upon the next soft reset, everything would be resolved.
20/06/2010: Exquisite V4.14e - 23569 (Sense 2.1 + Titanium) (Sense 2.5 + Titanium)
Updated Sense 2.5 to Core 2014. However not all tabs are updated due to performance issue and time constraint.

Identical to 4.14a except the correct compression type is used (XPR instead of LZH in 4.14a). This would allow faster loading speed upon boot-up.

Chinese Font (9 July 2010)
This Arphic CHS Font v1.1.20090924.00 is taken from Obeo. It also works in Sense 2.5.
EzInput No Arrow (27 June 2010)
This will remove the arrow keys at the bottom of EzInput SIP.
Back key support in Sense (17 Jan 2010)
Here's an instruction on how to make the Back key works in Sense. (This has been cooked in for newer roms)
Patched New Contact Card (16 Jan 2010)
I'm trying to resize New Contact Card to VGA for landscape but failed. But at least I get the scrolling work. Get it here. Fully patched and integrated into Sense 2.1 rom.
Bubble Breaker (2 Nov 2009)
Since Bubble Breaker is not included anymore, you'll have to get the cab here.
Opera is not included (1 Nov 2009)
Go here and choose any version of Opera of your liking. Personally, I'm using Opera Mobile 9.7 Build 35541. I decided not to cook it in as people like me, tend to upgrade Opera if there is a newer build available.
Font Enhancement
+ Que PPC uploaded a nice font enchantment over here. I like it very much, but of course, if you like it, download and install the cab (it's the attachment of the post).
Working A-GPS with Nokia's SUPL server
Download this registry. Before importing the registry, you'll need to edit the APN, GprsConnection and Network values. The values can be found in your internet connection settings. The current setting in the registry is for Celcom 3G (Malaysia). To import the registry, you need software like TaskMgr.
Contact's name in missed call sms
Install QuadSMS to add contact's name in them. (Included in V1.1)
Tips
To remove clock from the title bar, refer to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4873141&postcount=395
To record calls, make a call and tap on the Menu button->Start Recording. To playback recorded call, tap Start->Tools->In Call Recording.
You can use the scroll wheel (by sliding your finger around the middle button on the keypad) to browse through the items in People tab, Messages tab and Photos tab in Manila 3D.
You can use the scroll wheel in Messaging's read screen to change font size.
You can swipe you finger across the screen (left to right or right to left) in Messaging to switch accounts.
You can swipe you finger across the screen (left to right or right to left) in any windows with tabs to switch tabs.
So you want performance improvement?
Try to avoid soft reset. Unresponsive apps can be closed by pressing the "Home" button->Start->Tools->Task Manager->End Task.
Try not to be to concern on closing apps. Let them be and it would be quicker to recall them in time of need. Memory issues? You bought a device with 256MB RAM and you are worried about memory issues?
Refrain from installing to much eye candies.
Battery depleted too fast? Try this:
Play some music (from Manila or WMP)
Press power button to suspend the device
Does the music stop?
No? Then there is a 3rd party app that you've installed prevented your device from suspending. Start removing apps (followed by a soft reset) until you found it.
Yes? You worry too much. Remember, the battery only last for 5-6 hours of usage. How many days you get before recharging depends on how you use it. So, if you have to recharge after 5 hours after a full recharge, your device/ROM is fine. If it lasted for 3 days... well, this means that you rarely used the device.
List of Known Problems
After installing 3rd party autorotate app, whenever I pull out the hardware keyboard, the screen turns landscape and then turns portrait. To resolve this, disable GSense Autorotate in Settings tab->G-Sensor->Auto Screen Rotation (turn off).
For Fuze users, to get PTT button to work, please download the attachment in this post to enable it. (Thanks to mimariposa).
In Ftp tab (Bluetooth setting), when trying to change the Bluetooth shared folder, tapping Ok does nothing. To work around this problem, press the "Back" button on the keypad.
Hardware keyboard is not working well. The keyboard layout cooked in is for Touch Pro with minor problem (When using shift key, you must hold it and press other key. Pressing it and releasing it before pressing other keys would result in CAP enabled). Workaround is to use this patches below.
Use Exquisite Configurator to apply the fix. This should work for both Touch Pro and Fuze users.
Fuze user (Choose one). Note: Please try each of them to find which is the best for you.
Revert et9 to version 1.5. To enable/disable et9, tap on the button, slide out and in the keyboard. If key mapping is incorrect, please find the correct layout file for your device. (Note: This should be the best fix with only et9 button odd behaviour)
aruppenthal's solution found by yamilrx. (Note: I do not know what this does, but when I look in the cab, it seems to set some key mapping)
m.carroll fix for EzInput 2.1 (Note: Use this if you want to retain et9 from EzInput 2.1)
Touch Pro user. It will revert e9ime.dll to EzInput 1.5. The only problem is the et9 button on the SIP appear to be not working. To enable/disable et9, tap on the button, slide out and in the keyboard.
Internet Tab is not working! Opera is not cooked in. Please find the link in post #3
The "Long Press End Key" feature is not working! Perform a screen calibration should fix this (Start->Settings->System->Screen).
List of Known Fixed Problems
Note regarding the Phone Canvas (dialer): Until now, there is no VGA port for Rhodium Phone Canvas available. The best workaround now is by using Amarulz's hack which is not perfect but usable. If the phone is in heavy use (high cpu usage) and the phone canvas has not been used for that particular session, the phone canvas would appear as WVGA and then slowly relocated to become VGA. This is normal. If I have time maybe I would try porting it to VGA by patching.
New Contact Card does not display and scroll correctly in landscape. The workaround for scrolling is to change orientation before opening the contact card. (Fixed in V4.04)[/COLOR]
Cannot dial from Manila3D. (Fixed in V3.1 by using Rhodium dialer)
To switch between T9 and ABC mode on EzInput 2.1, tap the T9/ABC button followed by sliding out and sliding in the hardware keyboard. (Fixed in V3.0)
While viewing the Manila Programs tab, changing screen orientation to landscape and back to portrait will cause the Programs tab to display 3x3 icons instead of the original 4x4 icons. Moving to other tabs and returning to it will return it back to 4x4 icons. (Fixed in V3.0)
The background in WM 6.5 Start Menu is not dimmed in landscape. (Fixed in V2.0)
In Album and Photo Picker, the menu list is 800 pixels in height. If the list fills the screen, the last 2 items cannot be seen but can be accessed using the keypad. (Fixed in V1.1)
Some games would not run. I forgot to cook this in. (Fixed in V1.1)
Cannot create new contact by using Windows' native contact application. Creating new contact via Manila is working. (Fixed in V1.1)
is this for GSM only?
Edit, NVM!
Thanks for the new ROM. I'm looking forward to testing this out. I am downloading right now.

Well, it suppose to show time when returned to Manila. There is a registry fix for that somewhere. Let me check on that.
EDIT: The registry fix has already been applied, but some how, the clock is displayed in today screen. So for now, I do not have the solution for this.
battery status with this rom? thanks, seems very cool work.
Posted V1.1
Wow, this rom sounds very promising, by far more then the other out without all that (for me) unnecessary crap. Thanks, I'll give it a try when I've got more time at hand..
Last time I've tried TF3D2 it was very buggy, impossible to use. The sms-screen rotated when trying to type, album didn't work and such... I hope this works better, keep up the good work!
Edit: It works really nice, at least as far as I can see, but it's also using quite a lot of RAM (only 80MB left, while wm6.1 gave me 140-150MB). I'll report back when I run into errors...
Edit2 (Bugs):
- On boot, the keyboard pops up and when tapping the text field on the sms-screen (TF3D), it also pops up. When trying to just use the slide-out keyboard, it closes the sms-screen and switches starts to type the number ready to call...
This bug makes the Rom unusable in my opinion as I can't use my slideout keyboard...!
-Several glitches when rotating the screen and scrolling.
- On the sms-conversation screen, the message is trimmed and I can't reveal the rest of it...
- Album struggles with my images, they are very blurred
- The in call recording can't be launched
- It takes ages before a call comes through with no sound at all!!!
I just downloaded and installed your rom. While it is VERY fast, I don't see the Movable icons in the Start Menu. When I tap and hold on an icon, the only option I get is "move to top" like always.
The theme is nice. TF3D is running fantastic. For some reason I can't get any signal on my AT&T Fuze. I've tried re-running the connection manager but no go.
Also, you mentioned there wasn't a semi-transparent black background while viewing the Start Menu in Landscape. Do you have the file in your kitchen? Should be:
Code:
\SYS\21222\dpi_192_resh_480_resv_640\COMMON\base_dpi_192_resh_480_resv_640\StartMenu_Background_Screen_640x480.png
I was trying out a 23009 rom to see how it compared to my favorite 21222 kitchen. I really dig the theme. Red, black, and green really pop. What I'm interested in really is what package are you using for your HTC Task Manager. I like how the color themes change based off the Windows Theme. The task manager was always one I couldn't to theme to match.

I agree, congrats to the chef for a nice work, but RAM is the dealbreaker. 120-130 MB would be exceptable minimum for me.

You have to tap and hold on the icon, then move it.
I've not made any calls, but got some messages and have full reception on my Raphael.
And yes, the ROM is very fast once loaded, much faster then all the other I've tried!
Edit: By the way, why not use 21222 as a base? I've heard several people say that's superior to any release yet..
Maybe that would kill some glitches or so...
If it's faster than any rom you've tried, then the ram must be put to proper use, huh? Having a lot of free ram and a slow rom is kind of pointless, imo.

I didn't mean to complain about it, well, it might shorten the battery life, but anyway, it's the bugs making me go back to stock... especially the sms-issues and low performing on graphics (glitches).
I think that free RAM is the most important thing on the phone. If you are doing some work, faster is good, but even if the device is a bit slower, it's gonna do the job, few seconds later. Without enough free RAM, you cannot do the job at all...

I do use 21222 as a base in all of my roms. But for some reason I cannot get the icons to move in the start menu. I've tried cooking my own roms with the updated shell32.exe cooked in and nothing. It was one of the main reasons why I flashed this was to test. Even with this version, when I tap and hold, I see the ring, then a popup that says "move to top".
When I try to mix the shell32.exe into 21222 it won't even boot.
player911: Strange, I've no problems moving the icons (only in the start-menu of cause)...
Btw, your rom also looks very nice, I guess TF3D2 just isn't ready to use yet...maybe I should try your Titanium version
pilgrim01: Yes, RAM is important, but I think more in term of battery life, as this ROM seriously drains the battery (at least while playing around with it now it has now used over 10%)

'Louzeberry' 6.5 ROM -- Version 043009 (changelog below)
This is my latest personal build. I'm posting it because I didn't notice any chefs putting together 6.5s with the standard TF3D, and I figured there might be people like me who are waiting until xboxmod gets done with converting the shipped version of TF3D2 to make the switch.
Getting to know this ROM:
* 6.5 Build 21500 (Versions based on newer 21215 HERE).
* TF3D STANDARD with the FuzeBerry theme (turned off by default in favor of the new 6.5 Titanium interface; you can switch it in the Today settings).
* FuzeBerry for the 6.5 Titanium interface.
* Rhodium menu enhancement and Tachi-style notifications.
* The HTC Dialer is no longer installed, starting with 042909. There is a known conflict between the HTC Dialer and the lock screen in this version of WM6.5. BUT the standard dialer is skinned to look much better than it does by default.
* HTC Volume is omitted, because it won't change in-call volume without the HTC Dialer. Instead, this volume app which is skinned to look almost the same is included.
* HTC Album 2.5, with the social networking uploaders. I'm not crazy about the new behaviors 3.0, or about the fact that the uploaders aren't currently included in that version.
* Opera 9.5 16277, Advanced Config, Google Maps, Titanium Customizer, Total Commander, Weathermaster (all uninstallable)
* Keyboard configured for the Fuze. Use this if you've got a non-Fuze Touch Pro.
* Available with and without HTC on-screen keyboards.
* Removed certain TF3D tabs (see 042409 changelog). If you want them back, disable TF3D and unzip this to your windows folder.
* User Customization compatible.
* Any trouble installing items or accessing 'net with with JBEd? Change this setting. (Thanks to DN).
* Hotfix: "Phoneagent fix." If you're using a 042909 or 043009, the "Phone" softkeys don't work. This takes care of that.
Changelog / Download:
043009NOKB - NO HTC Keyboard version (makes using 3rd party keyboards easier)

042909NOKB - NO HTC Keyboard version
042909KB - HTC Keyboard included
- No longer includes HTC Dialer, to avoid conflicts with WM6.5 lock screen, BUT skins the default dialer to look pretty nice (thanks to Davey01)

- Incorporates the 042509 hotfixes. SMS freeze should be gone. Scroll wheel should work (and in lots of apps besides just the ones enabled on stock)
- Switches to jbed package provided by NRGZ28 (small goof, missing jbed shortcut in start menu; install this to fix it)

- Today screen previously had "Contacts" for both the right and left softkeys if neither TF3D nor Titanium was enabled. Now it'll be Contacts / Phone (just like TF3D)
- Fix for issue where the HTC keyboard can cause a freeze when typing in an SMS recipient name. Edit: Maybe not. But this should work: Install this hotfix if you have this problem.
- If there was indeed a problem preventing "Favorite Contacts" from being installed, it seems fixed. Working just fine on my tests.
- Speed boosts (no need to d/l that cab from the 042409 changelog)
- Install this hotfix to get the scroll wheel working in lots and lots of applications.
042409nokb - No HTC Keyboard version
042409kb - HTC Keyboard included
- New default TSK theme is a modified "Rock and Republic Black," with wallpaper by yours truly
- Holding down power button now brings up PSShutXP
- Removed the following tabs from TF3D: Calendar (doesn't do anything), Programs (I just use the 6.5 start menu), Call History (same settings are already in TF3D), Communications (ditto), Sounds (ditto). If you want them back, disable TF3D and unzip this to your windows folder.
- Tachi notifications are again uninstallable. May eliminate them from the next version and just provide the cab.
- "LB" Wallpaper in three colors. All included wallpapers (except "minimalistic") are now by me.
- More cleanup to save a small amount of extra space on the device
- New welcomehead
- You can boost performance with this cab (tweaks to be included by default in next release; this was updated a few times with more tweaks - the most recent version was put up in the early hours of 042509, and is def. worth redownloading if you got it before then)

Calendar problem
Hi, very nice try i prefer TF3d and more tabs, i flashed the rom from yesterday because with other 6.5 versions i had problem with GPS it makes disconnection several times. I don't have this problem any more. The inly bug is that the calendar in TF3d doesn't work.
Thanks
When you say the calendar doesn't work, how exactly do you mean? If it's just that all you can do is view the month, but not interact with it (no clicking through to the date, no seeing appointments, etc) that's really all there is to the calendar in this version of TF3D. It's sort of a pointless tab.
Nice in deed. I have made a FuzeBerry for WM 6.5 if anyone would like it to match TF3D....
Calendar problem
Yes i mean this excactly, but if you can only view the month in this version of TF3D then the rom is the only one with no GPS problem.
Thank's again and i will give feedback if i find any bug.
Thanks Matt -- Think that's working it's way into my next version. Do you have an existing OEM package for it you could point me to?
Pirgas -- Glad to hear the GPS works for you, but I haven't done anything special to it. I would think most of the ROMs built off Da_G's should work, unless the chefs have been tinkering with settings I haven't touched.
I don't know either what's the problem but after i flashed your rom i installed the same programs with other chef's roms. After that in your rom the GPS is locking very fast also battery drain is lower than other roms
regards
John
Hey Lou,
got any screen captures of your new rom?
Sounds interesting...
New version coming later today/tonight (Thursday) with some enhancements/additions, including the Fuzeberry theme for the 6.5 interface. Will put up some screenshots then.
this is one sweet rom one of the best. recently switched to wm6.5 roms and this one has to be the fastest of them all. I was hoping you could add some stuff like the finger keyboard, it takes forever to install afterward, and maybe the 4-in-a-row programs and settings honeycomb menu, 3 in a row is just not enough. and maybe some little programs nuelite, google maps, opera, and sort them in categories, like all chef's do.
But dont have to listen to me its a great rom as it is. Keep it up.
Google Maps and Opera will be added in tonight's build (both as cabs during initial customization, so uninstallable or easy to replace with an upgraded version). Possibly also switching to 21202 as well; not sure yet. May add Fingerkeyboard in the future -- the authors request that chefs contact them first and I haven't yet. Advanced Config also probably in tonight's.
Glad it's fast for you, but it's essentially just a build off of Da_G's kitchen with very little modification -- i barely know what i'm doing yet as a chef, so I'm going slow.
Also in tonight's, if i stick with 21500, I'll be rolling back to an earlier version of the lock screen that fixes a few issues. No fix I know about yet for the dialer/lock screen conflicts, though.
Build will be posted sometime late-night. I'm at work until around midnight.
Cool then I might just try making my own rom, but i have to warn you you have already made and have most of the things i want in mine so it will look a lot like yours.
I just have one q... How did you get calendar in the original touchFlo thats the only reason I like the rhodium is for the calendar but somehow you got it in te original TouchFlo.
Please, tell me where you got it.
Certain themes for the original TF3D include a Calendar -- including Fuzeberry. All it does is show the month, unlike the TF3DII version, where you can actually use it to see your calendar events. But if it's useful for you, it's there. If not, you can disable it (and any other tabs you may not use) in Advanced Config (which will be part of the new build).

GPS problem
Hi Lou,
i flashed the new rom without any programs installed but i have again problem with gps. After locking it makes disconections every 10 sec.

I'm on the same Radio (which I highly recommend, actually), and haven't had a problem. Try uninstalling the "turbo GPS" item under "Remove programs" and see if that helps.
What GPS program are you using? I've only tested with google maps.
EDIT: FYI - Putting up a new build without those GPS Tweaks and with a (hopeful) fix for the audio skipping that's been a problem with this generation of HTC devices ... will be ready in a few ...
i use igo8 and destinator7 and both have the same problem. i updated the radio to 1.14.25.05 but nothing. With your first rom the things are better but the problem is still there.Not so often but it exist. I tried almost all the 6.5 roms and i think i will go back to 6.1. I have spend a lot of time on this problem and i don'n know if it worth . i 'll give a final try on B version .
Thank's a lot for your time and your nice rom

If you haven't flashed yet (and you're on a Fuze) wait for 041809, building and uploading now. Same as 0417, but configured for the Fuze rather than TP. Also, in 041708, the AGPS wasdisabled by default -- it's enabled and set up for AT&T here. BIG difference if you're on AT&T.
Excellent ROM....Thank you
I have a couple of ideas for...please don't take the wrong way
1. Tools for customizing/configuring that work with your ROM
example: HTCWeatherMaster, TF3D Config.
The reason I pointed these 2 out because I've installed several versions and can't get it to work.
2. Can we have a shortcut for AudioManager
I haven't come across a TF3D or TF3D2 ROM with one yet. I'd be nice to access our music from the programs tab also.
3. Throw in a basic BLACK theme to match TF3D's background or include pairs so that we can match both right out the box.
Again...Excellent ROM.
I haven't tried any 6.5's because they all included TF3D2 which still has too many issues I don't want to deal with.
I also like how you took all the good from TF3D2 to create this ROM.
I'm running 041509 version right now by the way (@ time of this post).
DWNY (responding point by point)
1) Sure, I can include those, but what wasn't working when you tried them? Did the install fail? Did they fail to do what they were supposed to?
2) Do you mean the TF3D music tab, or the music player program included on some other HTC devices? If you know of a good working version, point me in the right direction.
3) Let me see what I can do -- I haven't paid much attention to whether TSK files from older versions of WM work on 6.5, or if there are any new good versions of Black made specifically for 6.5. I'll poke around and see what I can learn. But you do realize that background on TF3d is no background at all, right -- there's just no default wallpaper set.
Might be a day or two before I get to a new build. When I do, I'll upload versions both including and excluding the HTC keyboard.
Wordsmith9091 (responding point by point)
Thanks for the response.
1. The 2 I mentioned installed but ran with errors.
2. Yes, the music player that launches from the music tab. I thought/think it is AudioManager. I've come across all the pieces to TF3D/TF3D2 but not music player. I tried an older version from the TILT....no go.
3. But you do realize that background on TF3d is no background at all, right -- there's just no default wallpaper set.
I used a .TSK from 6.0, 6.1 and the background does change along with the bars. Some .TSk don't change both, bottom & top bars sometimes.
Thanks again....looking forward to new builds.
'LouzeBerry' 6.5 ROM -- Version 061209 (changelog below)

Getting to know this ROM:
* 6.5 Build 21812
* TF3D STANDARD with the FuzeBerry theme (turned off by default in favor of the new 6.5 Titanium interface; you can switch it in the Today settings).
* FuzeBerry for the 6.5 Titanium interface.

(See further notes in next post)
061209B-KB - With HTC Keyboard
061209B-NOKB - Without HTC Keyboard (makes installing third-party keyboard easier)
- Updated to 21812. Scrolling is getting SNAPPY.
- Switched from HTC's Config Setup to WM6.5's
- Several updated packages, including a more WM6.5-friendly version of the HTC Task Manager
* Please re-download if you grabbed the original version. Corrected version is 061209B.

Other recommended build:
052109KB - With HTC Keyboard
052109NOKB - Without HTC Keyboard (makes installing third-party keyboard easier)
- Returned to 21222 SYS. To put it eloquently, it's many much more betterer. Seems faster than the newer builds, and several people in the kitchen thread report minor bugs with 21231/2 they didn't see in 21222.
- Updated Google Maps. Street View!
- New Bluetooth driver. Da_G's description: It "has been modified to remove AVRCP being tied directly to WMP, that is it should function with whatever app you're using that supports AVRCP control now."
- New keyboard driver. The home key now calls the start menu (hitting the end key, as before, will get you to the home screen)
- Some new wallpapers. Hope you like indy chick rockers and/or bluegrass-informed acoustic alternative. Want an LB wallpaper that exactly matches the color of the current welcomehead (hey, I think it looks nice)? Download the "Blueback.zip" attached to this post (made it after the build).

Important Notes:
* Standard dialer, but skinned to look much nicer than it does by default.
* HTC Volume is omitted, because it won't change in-call volume without the HTC Dialer. Instead includes an app that looks almost identical
* Keyboard configured for the Fuze. Use this if you've got a non-Fuze Touch Pro.
* Removed certain redundant TF3D tabs. If you want them back, disable TF3D and unzip this to your windows folder.
* Any trouble installing items or accessing 'net with with JBEd? Go into JBed's network settings and manually pick the network appropriate for your carrier. Only a concern under certain network setups for the phone.
* Not everyone loves the Tachi notifications; they don't always act like you'd think. You can uninstall them under "Remove Programs." That will get you the default WM-style notifications. If you want the HTC-style large-button notifications (like on the stock ROM), install this as well.
* Beginning with 050609, the BioTouch files that are the core of the TouchFlo finger-scrolling are omitted, as they interfere with WM6.5's own scrolling in some cases. The practical upshot is that finger scrolling should be improved in many applications, but it won't work at all in YouTube. But using this application, you can scroll through YouTube (and lots of other stuff) nice and quickly with the scroll wheel. If you really can't live with this, install this cab for the old behavior (YT scrolling may still be choppy).
* Don't like the FuzeBerry look? Dirty commie.
--- Install this cab (updated 051809 - redownload if you got it before then) to get back the original WM6.5 icons in Titanium and the Start Menu.
--- Install this cab to get back the original Start Menu icons, but to keep Titanium in the FuzeBerry Theme.
--- And this to put TF3D back to the default look.
Warning: By doing any of this, you sacrifice super-awesomeness.
* Want an HTC Dialer back? Try the Tachi dialer. Caveats: It doesn't work in landscape, and the edit contact function won't do anything without TF3D2. But it does let you uninstall SetVolume and get HTC's Volume Rocker back (you can install HTC Volume w/o an HTC Dialer, but you won't be able to change in-call volume).
Older downloads/changelogs (see first post for most current changelog):
052709KB - With HTC Keyboard
052709NOKB - Without HTC Keyboard (makes installing third-party keyboard easier)
- Upgraded to 21725. Da_G says this is almost certainly 6.5.0.1
- New build brings a faster, slightly nicer IE. Also brings updates to all the widgets, and the return of the weather widget. They're faster and slicker than before.
- Minor tweaks and cleanup. Updates the "Rock and Republic LB" theme with a slightly different wallpaper (now matches the color of the welcomehead)
- Also adding today to Post No. 2: "Partial DeFuzeBerrify" cab, to keep the FuzeBerry look on Titanium, but to get original WM6.5 icons on the Start Menu. If you want more visual consistency on the Start Menu, but want to keep the grooviness of FuzeBerry elsewhere, this is good compromise.

051809KB - With HTC Keyboard UPLOADING - mirror by davitru
051809NOKB - Without HTC Keyboard (makes installing third-party keyboard easier) - mirror by davitru
- FINALLY organized the Start Menu.
- Speed tweaks
- Changed Connection Setup settings so it won't notify you automatically on first normal boot (was like this until a few builds ago). Make sure you run it manually if you're not prompted for setup during initial customization (you might be, depending on if/how you did your sdconfig.txt)
- Updated the Defuzeberrify cab from the post below (link is the same; file has been replaced) to include the folder icons for the organized start menu).
- Note (discovered after cooking): MP3 Trimmer is installed, but the lnk is missing from the Start Menu. It's in the Windows folder, and you can copy it into the Start Menu from there.
051609KB - With HTC Keyboard - mirror by davitru
051609NOKB - Without HTC Keyboard (makes installing third-party keyboard easier) - mirror by davitru
- Moved to 21232

- Note: This is (probably) the last build where I'm leaving the Start Menu a big, flat mess. My weekend project is finally getting it organized.
051409KB - With HTC Keyboard - Mirror by davitru
051409NOKB - Without HTC Keyboard (makes installing third-party keyboard easier) - Mirror by davitru

- Minor additions/enhancements that come with the new kitchen
050609KB - With HTC Keyboard. Mirror by davitru.
050609NOKB - Without HTC Keyboard (makes installing third-party keyboard easier). Mirror by davitru.
- Fixed Initial Customization error in 050509KB version
- "Comm Mgr" in the Titanium Home screen now properly opens the Comm Manager, instead of the clock.
- The Biotouch.exe/Biotouch.dll files have been removed. See important notes in the next post on the impact of this.
050509KB - With HTC Keyboard
050509NOKB - Without HTC Keyboard (makes installing third-party keyboard easier)
- Moved to 21222, brand new build. With it comes improvements to IE, and possibly more responsive scrolling.
- No more freezes starting an SMS (hotfix was available in last version)
- PTT Button brings up new-style Comm Manager by default on Fuze
- New Welcomehead & Purple LB Wallpaper
050109KB -- with HTC Keyboard
050109NOKB -- NO HTC Keyboard (makes installing third-party keyboards easier)
- Moved to 21215, and a new kitchen. Should be snappier, and memory management should be better.
- I've disabled the automatic network setup on first boot. This prevents some people from having to go through it twice if something in their personal UC triggers it. Go to Start --> Settings --> Connections and select Connection Wizard to get set up.
- New Welcomehead, new versions of the wallpapers.
- Added in Adobe Reader
- HOTFIX: If you have freezes typing in names for an SMS, install THIS (only affects the KB build)

Sounds good! Ill be watching for updates.
Hey smith great roms, especially the latest one here its simply amazing. I have a few quirks that I have found. For a while now the last few of you roms have a bug where it shows the old style comm manager when using the PTT button. But the link in Start menu>settings>connections>comm manager is the right kind. I use the comm manager a lot do disable and enable 3g to save battery and not being able to get to it quickly is very bad.
Also could you add weather to the WM6.5 home menu like the mystic series rom.
Otherwise great rom.

I agree if when using settings, personal, buttons, and select comm manager that it lets us select the full comm manager that gives all the options. This would be a nice feature. For the weather thing just use chome editor bro, thats what i do to add panels/pages/etc. Thats not a biggie at all.

That Comm Manager issue has long been on my "Bugs me, but not a whole lot, and I've got other stuff to do" list for a while. But tonight I took a crack at it and came up with a fix:
Go into \Windows\Start Menu with Total Commander, and rename "Comm MAnager.lnk" to "Communications.lnk" -- or whatever name you might prefer. Then go into the Buttons control panel and select your newly renamed link. From now on, the button will go to the new manager.
"Comm Manager" will still be an option on the list, and you can switch to that if for any reason you ever decide you want the old-style manager (not that I can imagine you would).
It'll be set up that way by default in the next build. Edit: This is fixed in the current build.
If anyone's curious, the problem is that the button was actually pointing to a "comm manager" link in the Appbuttons folder, not the one in the start menu, and so long as both had the same name, only one would show up in the buttons control panel.
-----------
For the weather, I'm shying away from tools and plugins that are still under very active development. They get upgraded too quickly for me to feel it's very useful to include them in a ROM (although I certainly have done a ton of ROM updates over a short time, that should slow down now that virtually all kinks are worked out). I recommend setting up an SDConfig.txt file on your SD card to have anything like that installed by User Customization on the initial boot (that's how I have both Fav People and Titanium Weather getting installed on my own Fuze).
Hi Lou
after 041709B i flashed your new rom. Since now its excelent rom. I try it and give feedback. Is there any way to customize TF3D (add or remove Tabs) and change softkeys in it?

Schaps advanced config 3.3 that should be cooked into the rom bro. Go to settings, more settings, then see tf3d towards the bottom for tabs and at the top youll see something for the softkeys.
Thank's bro i run Advanceconfig but i didn't know about more settings.
I believe those softkey settings in Adv. Config are for the stock Today screen (what you get if both Titanium and TF3D are turned off, and you're using traditional Today plugins), not for the softkeys that appear in TF3D. But you can change the TF3D ones with these registry settings:

Non, adv config soft keys settings also works for tf3d, just not for chome. Though there is a simple way with chome with reg editor, go to hklm, software, microsoft, chome, then at the bottom is the reg for the left soft key. Now in that chome folder is also every panel that is active on chome and u can click any of those and change those left and right soft keys if you like. Only problem is i have no idea how to link them.
For example, the left soft key url is :MSCONTACTS. Now i have Icontacts installed to the phone, how do i find the Icontact's url to repleace the above? Id be golden if i could figure out how to find programs urls and how to link them in reg editor.

I don't have icontact installed to check it, but looking at the cab, it should probably be:
\Program Files\iContact\iContact.exe
Just added this to the first post:
- HOTFIX: If you have freezes typing in names for an SMS, install THIS (only affects the KB build)
The issue was supposed to be resolved a few versions back, but I just discovered I goofed on the registry key. This solves a conflict that exists between WM6.5's own name-lookup and the HTC keyboard's name-lookup.
Problems with 5-1-09 rom
Hey there. It's the noob again.
I flashed your latests rom yesterday and have noticed the following issues.
Just want to make sure it's not something I'm doing wrong or if this is a "feature" of the rom.
1. When I want to close an app, I click on the X in the top right hand corner. On previous ROMS, that would close the app, but now it just minimizes it.
2. Have you found a way to link soft keys for CHOME yet? Advance Configuration manger changes the keys, but after you reboot, it reverts back to default (contacts).
3. When I click on the toolbar for a notification (Examples: sprite backup report, New email, etc) it takes me to the Notification screen, I tap the notification and: sprite asks to review the report, I tap yes and it just takes me back to the Home screen. On Emails, I tap the “New Mail” and nothing happens until I tap “close” or “Dismiss All”
Thanks - Markmi300

1. This is a configuration choice (all my ROMs have been this way). You can change it by going to Start -- > Settings --> System -- Task Manager (note: there are two different control panel items called Task manager, you want the one with the gray icon). Select "button" and you can change this to the behavior you're used to.
2. I haven't been looking for a way to change this (I like the default just fine for this), but check out the threads in Development and Hacking for CHome/Titanium editors. There might be a way to do this under there; not sure.
3. That's the Tachi/Topaz-style notification screen. It's not perfect, in particular when not paired with TF3D2. Aware of the flaws, I made it uninstallable. It's listed as "HTC Tachi Notification Enhancement" under "Remove Programs." If you uninstall it and so a soft-reset, you'll be back to the standard WM-style notifications. I've flipped-flopped in the past on dropping it entirely.
Just cabbed this up, and will add it to the first post:
If you want the HTC-style large-button notifications (like on the stock ROM), after you uninstall the Tachi notifications, install this.

[ROM][WWE]Chrome ROMs & User Submitted |User-to-User Guide| Sense 2.1,2.5 or Titanium
UPDATE: 2-19-10
Newer User submitted ROMs now available. Thanks to madnish30 for updating some items and working hard to update the ROM. Here is a link to his sense 2.1 post, which hopefully he will keep updated. And here is his Sense 2.5 version. I think I will let this thread go to user submitted ROMs for now. Then you can get the Chrome ROM feel but in different flavors. Remember to keep kitchen questions to the kitchen thread. Good luck guys, and God bless. I may return at some point, but I just dont have the motivation right now and am spending all my time trying to salvage my marriage.
Check post 2 for links to User Submitted ROMs, but always read the thread to find the latest updates.
UPDATE: 1-11-10
I didnt make a lot of changes in the ROM, most changes are on my end with the kitchen. It is a newer build which has a new feature, Threaded email. I havent used it personally, but hear good things.
Chrome 23518 Titanium
Chrome 23518 Sense 2.1
Chrome 23518 Sense 2.5
Change log from previous ROMs located in posts below. Make sure to have a look to see what has changed since 21232.
THIS IS FOR GSM MODELS ONLY
Before I give you the rundown, just gotta say thanks to everyone here and at SkinZone.org for making this possible. Special thanks to hilaireg, Da_G, At0mang, NATF, NRG, Holdemdogg, Volt, bilbobrian, Giannis86, all various developers, and everyone I missed.

ROM Mirror Site Provided by llamalord Poke around all you want
Please check the version you downloaded. My FTP has been having issues. I am workin on it. You can always visit the link below and Download the correct version. This is the best way, as you know what you are getting.
Download older versions here.
LEAVE FEEDBACK so I can perfect this.
Also, Please note: My ROMs do not include a custom splash screen. There are 2 available to match the ROM available apon request.
Now the lowdown:
See post 2 for full list of Packages\Apps (OLD). Following is a list of Chrome custom addons:
-Added shortcut for switching between HTC Dialer and MS one.
-Added custom program and folder icons to nearly every program. Added "My Apps" folder for your installed programs and more organization. I like to keep the start menu clean and beautiful.
-Included a custom taskbar by bilbobrian and modified by me to be a bit lighter
-UPX Compressed most of the exe files to save space and speed up loading times
STATS:
290MB of 320MB Free Storage after customization(can anyone provide this? I have a lot installed through UC, so my numbers are way off)
120MB of 193MBFree RAM at first boot
This ROM comes equipped with a lot of extras and is by no means a "Light" ROM. It is quite fast, and still has plenty of space for anything you want to add(if there is anything to add ) I might consider a light ROM later, but for now I wanted to have a Cadillac of ROMs. Everything is included if I need it, if not, it wont hurt anything. I have included several Titanium plugins for people using Titanium instead of TF3D (Certain versions). I might also make a TF3D version which would remove Titanium for us manila users to have more free storage.
Suggestions are welcomed, but not necessary meaning it will be included/excluded.

Sense 2.5 Mirror by ajdrausal
Bugs and Fixes(This ROM is a work in progress. Rome wasn't built in a day)
-Some updated system files for build 23053. Missed these before build went online. This will make taskbar dropdown list work. I never used it during testing, so missed it Just overwrite the files in Windows folder.
Addons for Chrome 6.5
- Manila TV for GenY Manila 2.1
-The newest version of MyPhone is attatched here
-Prefer Manila's SMS interface? SMS tab is set to open MS threaded messaging by default in this ROM. Install the attatched cab to revert.
-To make SIP menu work fully install PatchedBiotouch.dll. Note that this may cause some scrolling issues, but none that I notice personally.
-If you prefer "Home" hardware button to go home instead of opening start menu, install Chrome Keypad_Old_Home.cab. Also attatched a cab ro make Home open start menu(revert)
-If you prefer the old fuzzy circle in start menu, here it is. Extract and copy into windows folder, overwriting the original.

[B]UPDATE 12-4-09[/B]
Here is a variety of ROMs to fit all your needs :D
First there are COM2 ROMs from build 21882. These have older UI style(which is what the now official 6.5 uses)
Not so many changes here, just an update. I did however change some files to modules to have them load from virtual memory rather than RAM, and compressed many image files(for space and faster loading)
Next is the COM8 builds(with lage bottom bar and start menu on bottom left)
There are some small changes across all builds mostly with dialers:
Manila 2.5 build uses newly ported LEO dialer which works hand in hand with manila 2.5. There is a small graphic glitch in this dialer noticable when keypad is shown(in SIP menu area)
Manila 2.1 and Titanium use Rhodium dialer, which should work better with Manila 2.1 and Titanium.
I have updated some applications in the 28008 builds including CleanRAM, BING(a new beta)
The titanium build also uses new Opera 10 beta2.
Sure there are more changes, but none I can recall off hand :p

UPDATE: 11-13-09
(from my original post)
All ROMs are uploading and I am spent. No more updates for a while. It was very difficult to pull all of it together because my kitchen has now tripled in size and it takes at least 330 minutes just to scroll through and make all the right selections. Then flash each one, test a bit, reflash, test, etc. I wont be around for a while, but dont let that stoip you from donating :p

There are a lot of changes, but each ROM has its own qualities and changes. M2.5 of course has updated Manila 2.5 files and LEO packages that correspond to it. All HTC software upgraded to latest 1920 versions from LEO with exception of NewContactCard which is still 1919 build. Removed extra Titanium plugins(if your not using Manila I recomend another ROM anyway)
M2.1 has some minor changes, mostly theme from previous COM5 build. Re-Compressed all images for space
Titanium has all Manila items and dependencies removed. Slightly different MenuEnhancements because latest ones wont work without Manila enabled. They are yet untested.

-Build 23025
-New build has large toolbar on bottom which causes some lost screen space in TF3D and other programs :(
-YouTube sound working again
-Manila 2.1
-Some issues with programs that call on Pocket Outlook :(
-This build is simply for those that want to see what direction M$ is going with 6.5.1. It is usable, but expect some incompatabilities with certain software. Some programs will require using back button to exit since they moved X button to bottom bar and some software does not support this.
-Expect more scrollbars where you didnt have them before because of the enlarged Toolbar.
-Volume hardware buttons are not working correctly at this time :( Seems they open the new Taskbar helper instead(can also access by touching clock).
-New magnifier is disabled by default, find a script in Settings>Admin Tools to change it.
-Expect the current images on softkey buttons to change eventually as I will hopefully be skinning that. For now it uses the default images from Classic Blue.tsk
-lots more I'm sure ;)

-Added some radio stations to Manila TV
-more I cant remember right now
UPDATE: Added build 21921
Changelog:
-New build: 21921
-Added Manila TV page and found some pretty decent streams. If you run across a great one let me know. Might try adding Radio too.
-Battery icon issue seems to be fixed.
-Still using gwes.exe from 23001 for icon issues.

With use of UC or other restore programs you can now flash, walk away, and return later to see device is fully set up. Note that it takes a minute for customization to start because usually it loads while you are aligning screen. To do screen adjustments later, go to Settings>screen>align
-Opera build 16983(Compressed)
-LOTS more. Check posts later in the thread.

Looks pretty good. After you get a few nibbles and I hear good things I'll give it a shot.
This is great, Love the work you put into this, the new builds (21232 V2 DA-G's) are much smoother and would be perfect with your build. Thanks

I can say one bad thing right now. Not too bad, the audiomanager found in multimedia has the slider misplaced. I had it working before, but I think I must have changed something because it either gets messed up from MP3 Trimmer or the fix would be having AudioManager with everything in place and MP3 Trimmer with some things mixed up. Working on it right now. Other than that, we'll have to see. I'd like to have both, but might have to remove one or the other. The audiomanager has an MP3 Trimmer built in, which is part of the problem. Being that it is a beta build, I am not too worried about it. I'll get it fixed up soon.
EDIT: I have an odd fix for it right now, but I'm gonna narrow it down and make it easy for ya
EDIT2: Duh, the problem was on my end in a plugin I had installed during sashimi. No wonder it worked before, I added the problem myself later. So, please report any real bugs not related to addons.
I noticed you didn't mention the keyboard...
The mapping in the 20771 didn't work out for me... I messed around with it for a while and didn't end up fixing it... I ended up having to flash 2 or 3 times... (Finally back to stock, and then on to something else.) to get it to work right again... Except for that..I really enjoyed the rom...
Damn... it sure does look sexy...

This has just stock input method. No TP2. Don't need more to worry about.
Thats strange about the 20771 mapping. It was working fine for me in a few builds. Only time it was off was if I had enabled XT9, but still wasn't too bad. Maybe you have touch pro instead of Fuze? And you are talking about one of the hybrid builds right? Maybe I'll go back and make one with the standard keybooard.
If anyone having trouble downloading, I am having problems getting onto skinzone for some reason, so I don't know what is up. Let me know if its working right.

Bugs and Fixes
I found this after installing Audiomanager Titanium plugin. I think it is due to that, but thought I would post it here. Appears the plugin installer includes an AudioManager.exe file which was different than the one I cooked in. So, this most likely will not be needed.
An odd bug due to the adition of a standalone AudioManager and MP3 Trimmer. The graphics are a butSince it is an odd bug, here is an odd fix. You need to install the attatched Glossy_VGA_AudioManager cab, soft rest, then uninstall the cab. I have no idea why this would fix anything, but it does work. In process of looking furher into this. Make sure to install to device of course.

Thanks....
I've been trying & requesting an .exe or version of Audio Manager that will work outside of TF3D/TF3D2 for a while now. I don't like WMPlayer and I use CorePlayer for my .avi but it sucks as a finger frienldy music player. This also comes in handy when using SPB-MS3.
A custom "Programs" folder under the "Start Menu" would be nice to control clutter and add organization for installed programs.
Haven't flashed yet cuz I'm still luv'n your 6.1 Chrome w/Notification.
Thanks again
Nice looking and fast ROM! Thank you!
Couple of things I found:
- Launching Internet Explorer gives error message "The file :MSPIE cannot be opened...." and the phone freezes.
- Opera shows only blank page.
Looks great, unfortunately launching AS gives an error message about "MSSYNCAPP" file not being signed and incomplete and it freezes. Also, just found out that when receiving and incoming call the S2A does not work.

Yes, there is some sort of bug with all of the "short"
shortcuts seem to have something wrong. All of the registry entries are intact and the actual exe files open fine, so I'm looking into this tonight hopefully. As a temporary workaround, you could change the properties of the shortcut to point to the actual exe file. For Internet Explorer simply change from :MSPIE to
Code:
"\windows\iexplore.exe"
Leaving the part following the command from the "?" will ensure you can keep the same icon.
About the Opera, not quite sure what you mean by "shows only blank page". I mean it is literally blank page? Is the Opera skin there? Or does the page start to load and then stops. I have experienced the last before, but I think it is something in Opera or poor connection as a simple reload of the page will then show the page. If you are having trouble with connections, try the enable/disable proxy shortcuts in "Tweaks\Proxy\" folder.

Your problem is also related to the problem noted above. I will have a fix hopefully tonight.
As for the S2A, it is and has been working fine for me. Make sure you didn't use the PhoneSkin shortcut in phone folder. This is meant to toggle between the S2A dialer and the default MS one. This due to HTC/MS bug in dialer scrolling. Some people prefer MS dialer, so I made a simple script to switch on the fly. I have an updated script with more options which I will include in the fix for shortcuts. Try switchiong back and forth to make sure you have S2A enabled.

Hi jmckeejr, liking the ROM so far but I am also having the problem with the shortcuts for items such as activsync and IE. How do I change the shortcuts so this can give me access to them. Thanks. Also, any way to get the g-sensor to work when viewing pictures?

Just finished up a fix. See cab attatched to post 3. As for the G-Sensor thing, why not just use the included G-Config app? It will add the appropriate registry settings for any app you want to auto-rotate. I have disabled it by default in AudioManager because it takes twice as long to load with it enabled. Go ahead and enale it and see what I'm talking about.
Found the g-sensor right before I read your post. Thx.. Also, seems like the cab fix worked. The ROM is real nice as far as I can tell and I've been testing now for over a couple of hours. One other small bug. I've gotta keep putting back my screen brightness as it keeps putting it back to the stock settings after ever soft reset and randomly every so often but other than that, I like it!
UPDATE: I think I found out how to get the screen to stop adjusting. Was in the startup. Any way to get IE6 to play the flash videos on sites such as youtube. Or even do this in opera..? Thanks.

Ok, this ROM comes equipped with Lumos(click there). You need to go through Lumos setup under tweaks folder if you want to change the settings. I have preset it to save battery. You will notice that when you are in a dark area, the screen may be dimmer, and when in bright area the screen will be brighter.
Opera should have flash support built in(with addition of FlashLite3.1), but Youtube requires Flash 10, which is not supported by Opera. You can view videos on certain sites, but not ones that require Flash 9 or 10. You can use Skyfire for these sites I thought I had included Flash3.1, but for some reason it was missed. I'll work on it for RC1.
About the IE, I wouldn't know, as I have never really used it. I prefer Opera. If you go to www.m.youtube.com you can view the mobile version of youtube. It will play videos through streaming media player. You could also use the Youtube app which would be your best bet..
This rom is very nice the only issue i can find after using it for a full day is the shortcuts the only one thats annoying for me is the one for windows media player when selected i get a error amd the device freezes ...and when switching themes in the 6.5 home screen it hangs for a while ...but over all i like the way u put it together keep up the good work ...im lookin for some one to make me a a vey custum tmobile rom for my fuze

The start menu shortcuts are handled different in 6.5. Stil catching up with all the changes. I'll add that to the fix in post 3 tonight. Thanks

I know what you're thinking. Does this forum really need another ROM thread? I agree; I don't think it does either. But, here I am, opening one anyway.
So, here's the skinny:
These ROMs are based on builds 23554, 23541, 21898, and 21893, and are customized for the AT&T HTC Fuze and Touch Pro. One series includes Sense 2.5 VGA, and the other includes Sense 2.1 VGA. For those who want lower CPU usage, go with the Sense 2.1 version.
The 218XX version will generally be the most stable, so if that's what you're looking for, that's the one I'd go with .
I use the 4-row Start Menu (thanks to showaco), because I like it .

Add-On CABs/Fixes/Change Log/To Do
Add-On CABs:
MP3 Trimmer - For creating ringtone files
PimBackup - For backing up Contacts, etc. NOTE: This may cause issues with Sense
SIPChange - For setting the Default keyboard on first boot
TFDetacher - For 'detaching' the Sense interface and allowing both Titanium (CHome) and Sense to be run simultaneously.
Total Commander - Enhanced file explorer with Registry viewer, etc.
Voice Recorder - HTC's application for recording voice notes.
WorldCard Mobile - Business Card Reader - take a picture of a business card and save the information directly to your Contacts.
HTC EzInput 1.5 - For those that don't like the EzInput 2.1 cooked into the ROM, this cab will install the stock Raphael EzInput with all of the EzInput options working.
Restore aGPS Control Panel Settings - This will restore the AGPS Settings applet to the 'System' Settings, for easily enabling/disabling of aGPS.
FInix Percentage Battery Icon (White) - For those that don't like the new top bar in the ROMs, they can uninstall it and install this CAB to get back my original percentage battery icons.
.NET Compact Framework 3.7 - For people having issues installing certain programs that throw a .NET Framework error message.
Fixes/Tweaks:
ATT Phone Canvas Fix - For 15-JAN-2010 23518 Sense 2.1 Fuze Build only - removes scrollbar from in-call screen.
Disable XT9 - For people that want to permanently disable XT9 (this may cause issues with the hardware keyboard). XT9 can also be toggled using the hardware keyboard (FN+SPACE on TP, FN+Right Arrow on Fuze)
Facebook Online Album Fix - For the Sense 2.5 ROMs, this fixes the picture preview for the Facebook Online Albums.
Set EzInput as Default IM - For pre 14-JAN-2010 builds, where new MS SIP was set as default. Will set HTC EzInput as default keyboard.
Disable Push Internet - For Sense 2.1 builds, this cab will completely disable Push Internet. This may help to reduce excessive battery drain.
Raphael 6.5 Bluetooth Driver - This 'fix' will allow Bluetooth AVRCP to work for players OTHER than Windows Media & HTC Music Player. However, it will prevent AVRCP from working with the HTC Music Player at all (AVRCP will still work with Windows Media Player).
Sense 2.5 ONLY - Remove Background for all Tabs Mod - This is for people that prefer the default Manila behavior of the custom background appearing on only the Home tab, with the other tabs displaying the default background.
If there are other stock ROM applications that you are interested in having add-on CABs for, please let me know, and I will consider adding them to this list
Change Log
April 1, 2010
Builds updated to 23554 from 23541 (COM5) and 21898 from 21893 (COM2)
My Phone updated to 1.6 version
Windows Live from 21898 build added to 23554 (10.7) - this can be upgraded on Marketplace to add Messenger
PagePool upped to 20MB (This seems to make Sense run more smoothly)
Titanium Weather/myLocation updated for Accuweather fix from Sleuth255
Opera 9.7 updated to build 35964 (thanks to indagroove @ MobileUnderground)
amarullz PeopleMessageClassic mod removed in favor of Manila Messaging built into Sense (thanks to TMartin03 for the package)
AMeBa updated to 0.8RC (with lower CPU usage) - see thread for details/additional features
Advanced Network package updated from HD Mini to match 6.5.x theme (swipe to change tabs)
Documents tab removed from Sense (memory hog, & not ported) - a CAB install for this is available
KNOWN ISSUES:
Windows Live gets stuck when trying to connect to sign in. Workaround: sign in to My Phone or Marketplace first. After a soft reset, your Windows Live ID details should already be entered into Live, and it should then sign in normally (it may take up to 30 seconds after pressing "Next" for the next screen to show up, so even if the device seems to freeze, don't panic - be patient)
Lockscreen shows Calendar icon even when there is no Active Appointment - This is a CPR change I haven't had time to make yet. See here for the fix.
Manila Locker/Background for All tabs not included - Both installable by CAB (I didn't include the Locker is because I've found it to be buggy, as it was not really designed for this version of Sense - though it does work without many graphical glitches).
Facebook tab not included (installable via CAB) - use THIS Tab Control file to correctly enable the tab
February 23, 2010

Album 3.2 updated to full ported Topaz S2 version by programatix

You may have to exit out of Google Maps at the end of customization (this is the last CAB of my customization), and will receive a warning when the device is about to reset.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What rilphone do you use in your ROMs?
A: I use the rilphone.dll from the 5.11.502.2 AT&T ROM (Radio 1.14.25.35). That is also the radio I recommend to use with this ROM for best results.
Q: How do I stop tab vibration in Manila?
A:
Captain_Throwback said:
you can disable it with this registry key:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\TFLOSettings]
"ApVibrationOn"=dword:0 ;1=on, 0=off

Q: I'm using your Sense 2.1 ROM. Why doesn't my Album have uploading options?
A: The Social Networking Album is only included with the Sense 2.5 ROM. That version of Album causes conflicts with the Facebook options in the Sense 2.1 version of Manila.
Q: Does Sense 2.1/2.5 have landscape support?
A: Sense 2.1 has landscape in all tabs. Sense 2.5 has landscape views in 3 tabs: Messages, Photo, & Music. These actually do not work when the keyboard is opened, as they do in Sense 2.1.
Q: Is there a Programs tab in these versions of Manila/Sense?
A: The Sense 2.5 does not have a Programs tab; instead, there are quicklinks underneath the Clock on the Home tab. Sense 2.1 does have a Programs tab, but it is hidden by default. To enable it, follow these instructions:
Captain_Throwback said:
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila]
"Manila://programs.page.hidden"=dword:0 ;1=hidden, 0=shown
Alternatively, you can install this: Show Programs Tab.cab which will do the exact same thing.

Q: What are the differences between Sense 2.1 & Sense 2.5?
A: See below post
Tab by Tab comparison of Sense 2.1 & Sense 2.5
The main difference, of course, between Sense 2.1 & Sense 2.5 is that 2.1 supports Landscape, while 2.5 does not (and yes, I am aware that rotatstrain has created a landscape for 2.5, but that is NOT as designed by HTC).
NOTE: Starting with the 2011 build, Sense 2.5 now supports Landscape!!
Home tab:
Sense 2.1 - Home tab includes World Clock w/Weather under time & Animated Weather wallpaper. Quick links to Call History & Calendar under time. Scrolling up will reveal several calendar entries.
Sense 2.5 - Home tab includes World Clock w/Weather under time & several choices of Animated wallpaper, including Weather. Quick link to Calendar under time, one Calendar entry shows. Scrolling up reveals 6 Quick Link shortcuts that can be customized to add a Program shortcut, Contact shortcut, or Bookmark.
People tab:
Sense 2.1 - People tab is the same as previous versions of Manila. Features 3D shortcut to Contact card for Favorites, selectable using bladelist along side of tab. Contact numbers are listed underneath selected Contact picture, and can be dialed with a single press.
Sense 2.5 - People tab features a grid view which shows 6 contact shortcuts at a time (scrolling up reveals additional shortcuts). Each shortcut uses Contact Picture for identification, and can be customized to View Contact Card, call a selected number, send a text or email (an icon in the bottom right of the picture will indicate the selected default action). The shortcut is actually 2 buttons - the picture acts as a direct shortcut to the default action as selected previously, and the bottom portion (which displays the contact name) opens the Contact card for that person. If there is an unread notification from that person, it will show up as a green icon on the bottom right of the button.
Messages tab:
Visually, this tab is identical in the two versions. However, when pressing the tab, in 2.1 it opens the Manila SMS interface, while in 2.5, it will open the Messaging Client interface (in the Manila SMS tab).
Mail tab:
This tab is also very similar in both versions. Both feature a bladelist on the right that shows the unread e-mail count of any Mail accounts. The main difference is the size of the e-mail preview. In Sense 2.1, the old preview, with a 3D envelope with mail emerging from it, is used. In Sense 2.5, there is a flat, full screen preview that allows more viewable area, and an easier to read preview.
Internet tab:
Sense 2.1 - Uses Opera 9.5, and includes shortcuts to add "Push Internet" links. These can be added from existing bookmarks, or can be input manually. The user can select a frequency for the pages to be downloaded, so that there is zero wait time when opening the shortcut.
Sense 2.5 - Uses Opera 9.7, and includes "Visual Bookmarks". These can be added from existing bookmarks, or can be input manually. A visual representation of the bookmarked page is shown on the shortcut.
Calendar tab:
Sense 2.1 - Shows Month view as default. A triangular block appears in the corner of a day where an appointment is scheduled. Pressing a day will open day view, listing all appointments for the day. The Calendar will also show the current weather for your Location, or another location specified in the world clock. Pressing on an appointment will open the appointment in the standard MS Calendar app.
Sense 2.5 - Shows Month view as default. A triangular block appears in the corner of a day where an appointment is scheduled. Pressing a day will open day view, listing all appointments for the day. The Calendar will also show the current weather for your Location, or another location specified in the world clock. There is also an option for "Agenda" view, which shows all of your current meetings/appointments for several days, and a "Year" view, whcih allows you to see the entire year right on the Manila page. There's also Week view which displays any appointments for the week, and shows all available time slots in each day. Pressing on a specific appointment in either Agenda or Day view will open an enhanced Appointment Editor which allows you to contact the meeting organizer or recipients, and review other meeting information. This feature also requires the HTC Messaging Client.
Stocks tab:
I don't personally use this tab, so I'm not entirely sure, but this appears to be just about identical in both versions.
Photos & Videos tab:
At first glance, the tabs look the same. There's a stack of pictures, and the user can flick up and down to go through them. Pressing one opens Album. The difference is that when rotating the device to Landscape. for Sense 2.1, you basically get the same interface. In 2.5, however, there's an animation, and you get a full-screen interface that allows you to scroll through the pictures. Pressing on a picture will animate it until it is fullscreen.
Music tab:
Sense 2.1 - Shows 3D Album art, "Shuffle" and "Repeat" indicators, scroll up & down buttons & play button on right side of interface. Rotating keeps these same elements, just moving their location.
Sense 2.5 - Shows Album art, Play/Pause button, forward, backward buttons underneath Album art. "Shuffle" & "Repeat" indicators at top right are pressable, and in top left there is the option to download Album art using Gracenote. When rotating the device, you get a fullscreen, enhanced interface that allows you to scroll through albums quickly. Pressing an album will bring up a list of all songs from that Album on the left side of the screen, and this list is scrollable. Pressing a song on this list will play the song, with a speaker next to the title indicating the selected song is playing.
Weather tab:
This tab is very close to identical in both versions. Both feature "My Location", which uses Google Location Service to pinpoint your location using cell-phone-tower triangulation. This information links back to the World Clock in showing the Weather at your current location. The only discernable difference between 2.1 & 2.5 that I saw is that 2.5 features fullscreen Weather animations on this tab based on current conditions (not just on the Home tab).
Other tabs:
Sense 2.5 also features 2 tabs that Sense 2.1 doesn't: Twitter, and Footprints. "HTC Peep", a.k.a. the Manila Twitter tab, shows all your current Tweets, and notifies you when you get any new ones. The Footprints tab allows you to take photos and save them with specific GPS information so that you can 'Show them on Map' (requires Google Maps), or navigate to them using GPS Software (the Leo comes with NaviPanel software & CoPilot GPS Navigator). This tab has limited functionality on our devices, since it is dependent on the Leo hardware.
Settings tab:
This tab is probably the biggest difference between the interfaces.
Sense 2.1 - Offers options to:
Sync data
Open Comm Manager
Change Wallpaper
set sounds & notifications
customize tab order
open Contact Card
toggle Location Service
Enable Auto-rotation.
Sense 2.5 - Using HTC's "Settings Improvement" package, this tab integrates directly into the system, bypassing almost all MS versions of Settings. There are options to:
"Personalize" (Set wallpaper, customize tabs)
Wireless Controls (Comm Manager)
Sound & Display (includes changing notifications, Backlight, & calibrating G-sensor)
Data Services (includes Activesync, Stocks, Weather update frequency, Internet Time sync, Social Networks, & E-mail)
Security (Encryption, Phone lock & reset)
Application (Manage Applications, i.e. Remove Programs)
SD card & Phone storage (shows Storage capacities/options in enhanced interface)
Date & Time (set date, time, time zone & format)
Locale & text (Set Language, region & text input options - shows enhanced interface for regional settings, & text input settings require EzInput 2.1)
Updates & feedback (feedback/error report)
Other (miscellaneous settings - this lists settings not linked to any of the previous ones)
About phone (view battery status & device info - enhanced interfaces).
In 2.1, pressing the "All Settings" (left softkey) will open the MS Settings; in 2.5, pressing "Menu" gives you the open the option to open "All Settings".

It's uploading now - but it's customized for the AT&T Fuze, so you'll need to adjust the registry for the Touch Pro keyboard (ProFuze will do the trick), or the many keyboard tweak CABs floating around here. Connection Setup should take care of the network settings .
wooohooo maaaaan u r the best .... keyboard aint an issue...aint a n00b anymore mate
i'll wait for the link...i'll try to take it easy on the F5 key lool
hi capt,
it feels wierd to say welcome to xda, but i will anyway. is this rom any different from the one posted on ed/tp? if not, this rom is amazing! the only bugs i found were the first boot error w/ progmatix interceptor and a few redrawing issuesllll
manila 2.1 sense is amazing, i've flashed the 21885 but i'll say what i think of it so far based on that i'm a TP user not fuze
- it'd be great if u post a cab for the latest amarullz Rhodium Phone Canvas or his latest qilin with video call working
- icons for the accesories, multimedia...etc folders
- settings icon in the start menu takes me to the manila settings page instead of windows settings which i dont like, coz if i click on settings in windows menu then i want the windows settings folder
...thats about if for now, i'll keep on testin & tell u wt else i find
i c my self sticking with ur rom if i can make another version "or with cabs" to fit TP as much as it fits FUZE
great work mate...thx
apps i think will be handy for most users
*REMOVED*
EDIT: sry abt that just read the More Information section
i cant find anything in album about social network or uploader...shouldnt it be included or did i miss understand !!!
cheers
Does the 2.1 Sense have Landscape support?
Pagepool Size...
Posted this question on the ED/TP thread as well, but I guess this one will probably become the more active of the two threads. Looks like the pagepool is set to 6 megs on each of the 3 builds. Seems a little on the low side these days, though I must admit that I have yet to really test out the performance. I thought the raph's sweet spot was around 16 to 20 megs. Just curious if the chef has intentionally set it to 6 megs for optimal performance?

I think for the next go-round I'll make a TP ROM as well, that doesn't include the AT&T Customizations, comes with the keyboard pre-mapped to the TP layout, uses Opera w/o the AT&T Proxy Settings, and includes amarullz's Rhodium Dialer w/Video Call.
As far as the Settings icon, the one in the Start Menu is actually a shortcut. You can delete it, and change this registry key to get the regular one back:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo]
"HideSettings"=dword:0

The Album in the Sense 2.5 ROM is the one that includes Social Networking Support. It's doesn't integrate so well with 2.1 (the Facebook Engine conflicts with the one for Manila)

I usually set my PagePool to 16MB. I've been rebuilding my kitchen & must've just forgot to change it. I'll do that for the next (set of) ROMs.

Battery drain *may* get better, but that may also depend on the radio you're using. I'm using the one that comes with the 5.11.502.2 AT&T ROM (Radio 1.14.25.35). Changing the radio might make a difference (but make sure you give it a few days to settle in).
I neglected to include the "Touch Options" applet in Settings that allows you to easily disable tab vibration (but I think it may also disable other vibration as well). Maybe I'll include it in the next one. In the meantime, you can disable it with this registry key:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\TFLOSettings]
"ApVibrationOn"=dword:0 ;1=on, 0=off
EDIT: OR, install the cab posted above (thanks for the help, paulyluca)
I will (eventually) update the posts on the first page with this "important" information. It's my first ROM thread, so I'm still getting a feel for it .
Hello
There are lots of ROMs for Topaz to choose from, but none of them suite my needs. That's why I decided to create my own...
The general idea was to create 6.5.3 based ROM with Topaz 2.53 packages (so with Manila 2.5.20113030.0 and Topaz dialer).
There is also COM2 (with Start menu at top) version available. It has the same tweaks as 6.5.3 version. Differences between them are described in changelog.
The ROM looks pretty close to stock one but is tweaked to be as fast as possible and I removed as many bugs as I could found (also those introduced by HTC).
Now with kitchen. To start cook your own ROM just unpack content, run osKitchen.exe and select one of projects from Projects\HTC Topaz folder.
If you like my ROMs and wanna donate here is a link to do so:
There are two versions available - with HTC Messaging (QBUS00H) and without HTC Messaging (QBUS00).
This ROM was created using OS Kitchen.
Changelog:
QBUS22:
COM2 upgraded to 21909
Removed any task manager from COM2 (you can choose the one you want from CAB - downloads at the end of this post). Be aware that installing HTC Task Manager on ROM with HTC Messaging causes a bug: phone starts to freeze when rotating to landscape in HTC Messaging
Added Bubble Breaker to COM5
Kitchen released - link at the end of post
QBUS21:
Removed non english Manila language files (saves space)
Fixed problem with MMTaskManager, Office, Notes and some other system apps (added them to exclusion list). The fix is temporary, I'm in contact with author of MMTaskManager and waiting for his response

Disabled position fix in Ameba (not needed anymore)
QBUS17:

Disabled "Message was successfully sent" message in HTC Messaging versions
Other small reghacks
QBUS16:

QBUS12:

QBUS10:

COM2 updated to 21901
Page Pool increased to 15MB (it appears that this is stock ROM default value)

Welcome my friendI am sure that your rom works very well...Testing now
Best all
Thanks
happy to see new cookers
welcome my friend to sturt between cookers ... !!!
This looks really well, only disadvantage is that it has HTC's messaging client 2.5 which is, based on my experience, unusable. Is it possible to remove this from your rom?

Hi, I'm also not fan of HTC Messaging.
The problem with removing it is that then we lose integration with Manila (no unreaded messages numbers at slidebar and SMS tab on Contact screen is not working).

Hi
If you look at Energy latest ROMs (NRG) he is using a HTC Messaging client that has less of these bugs and problems. Quite good.
Perhaps you can integrate that version of HTC Messaging into your ROM?
Cheers

Nice ROM qbus.
Very nice memory footprint.
I like the implementation of ShowCase
"No flipping clock"....I assume this means the clock doesn't insist on displaying the time -1hr and 4 minutes so it can flip back to the correct time?
"New TSK".....I don't know what this is.
Unfortunately this ROM shows me to be permanently roaming :-/

Hmm this is strange. Have you tried other ROMs based on 2.53 packages and/or on newest SYSes (like 23549)?
I haven't touched anything releated to operator settings so I believe this is a problem of HTC/MS rather then mine cooking?

I think I found the "problem". The "3G" switch is set to off by default. UK's 3 network doesn't support GPRS so enabling 3G appears to have fixed my problem
I would like to have the keyboard button at the bottom of the screen so that clicking it makes the keyboard disappear. It seems to be a common "fault" with 23xxx + ROMS that if you click the keyboard softbutton it just offers the various types of keyboard.
Oh....and automatically importing SIM contacts would be good

Yes, that's true. I've seen figure somewhere showing that it's less then 1% faster then original ones. However my subjective feeling is that when using Manila's slider it is a little smoother on NeoS drivers then on original ones.

For the keyboard issue - just move your finger a little more to the left edge of the keyboard icon .
Qbus,glad to see you around, cooking for Topaz.......you were the best cook for Samsung Omnia (i remember...) as i don't like 2.5 manila would you consider cooking manila 2.1 ROM(6.5.3 with 2.1 sense would be nice)?best regards
com2

There are two options to do that:
- just use original base ROM with Manila 2.1 and cook that (easier but worst effect) - for that case I think that we have already super ROM - it's Aman's TESS (however it's based on COM2).
- mix Manila 2.1 with 2.53 packages (to get all finger friendly improvments from that) - this option is better but requires more work, time and testing (nhathoa tried to cook such version but it contained some bugs).

Yes - this is possible. My first idea was to cook 6.5.3 ROM but since someone asked for COM2 I'll cook a ROM based on this line soon .
A 6.5.3 rom with 2.53 drivers without manilla would be nice too if you got some spare time [no manilla but with comm manager, topaz dialer, keyboard, etc].

I don't have access to this build .
Updated first post - added COM2 version based on SYS 21887.
Enjoy!
