ROM Topaz Gold 5.5 - Please see post #289 for Change Log & download link.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here's my ROM based on Mondilv's NATALY.
This is my final release as I dont think there will be any further updates on COM2 (21916).
Release 4.3.1 is to rectify the WMP skin and Facebook Online Album.
Why Special Edition? I released it to coincide with 10 October 2010; so it's 101010. But why am I releasing this before 10/10? Well, I cant wait to let you play with it over the week end
Features:
- RSS Hub on homescreen If you install CHT, the RSS Hub will be disabled from the homescreen. Landscape view not supported in most views due to the RSS Hub. You can still set your shortcut key for landscape view.
- Quick links on homescreen (4x4)
- Programs Tab 3x10 I would advise not to move around the Programs tab as it will freeze the device.
- People Tab with link to Facebook "Updates and Events"
- Messaging with "Secure box"
- Internet Tab tips: (Opera is not installed) If you want to have the quick links with their respective pages displayed graphically, ensure you add the links BEFORE installing Opera (mobile or Mini).
- The Agenda in Calendar tab will show multi-days appointments
- Stock tab I have included exchange rates instead.
- In Photos & Videos Tab you can view Facebook albums of your contacts
- Marketplace
- Facebook Tab (removed since its development is on-going still)
- Twitter Tab
- Swype - 2 versions released; 1 with and the other without Swype
- Footprints Tab. Footprints is hard-coded for the Leo camera. For Topaz you have to get gps photo and then save to Footprints tab separately.
- PP & fsreplxfilt.dll disabled
There are some glitches on the Settings screen which I cant remove. It's the last item "AGPS..." which leads to nowhere when clicked. Sorry for this. Also, the Operator name is not displayed on the home screen but on the Phone dialer screen instead. I use Dynamic Operator Name to display the charges.
CAUTION: ENSURE YOU HAVE UNLIMITED DATA PLAN FOR RSS HUB AND FACEBOOK
Thanks to Mondilv, Barin, Dark Forces Team, members of MobileUnderground.info, XDA-Developers forum, sh4d0w86, meltwater and many others.
CHANGE LOG - 09Dec10
- PP = 18mb as multi-tasking works better instead of PP0 - reduced from 22mb
- Two versions; one with and the other without Swype
- WMP & Facebook Online Album issues rectified.
- Added RSS Tab & Facebook Tab by meltwater (Thanks very much meltwater) (removed since its development is on-going still)
- MS Facebook NOT installed on purpose; I use XDAFacebook
- Dictionaries & Pocket RAR in separate cabs
Enjoy!
[25Apr11]: Download & Enjoy!

Thanks buddy. I hope you enjoyed it
Thanks for the SPECIAL EDITION, Topaz 4.0 Gold.
My today clock has white background, but I like the black one as shown on the first screen capture on the first post (#1).
How can I do to get the black?
Landscape view not supported in most views due to the RSS Hub. You can still set your shortcut key for landscape view.
How can I set my shortcut?

camera has 3 MPX ( can you do something about it? or give me a cab that resolves this problem
Only issue found so far is 3MP res. for the camera, where has 5MP gone.
That said otherwise its fast and very stable, battery life is the best I've had bar none, on a full charge this morning, its currently showing 80% !!!, all ROMs to date are down to 40% or less.

Wooppsss! Let me investigate and revert. Anyway, I am reluctant to downgrade the camera package to previous version as this version supports Facebook friends album view.
I too noticed the battery lasts longer than usual.
Sorry for the camera issue. Please bear with me and thank you for reporting.
EDIT: Tested BSBTweaks, but didnt work.
Camera 5mp & Carrier Name on Homescreen
The camera now supports 5mp and Carrier Name is on the home screen.

I appreciate your comments very much. Anyway, all this happened with Mondilv's help as the ROM was based on his Nataly edition. Do thank Mondilv too.
I am now trying to improve the program memory which Mondilv was able to give us more than 300mb

This ROM is based on the 21028 core, but with all the new goodies from the newly announced Rhodium device. The new Manila interface, new HTC menus, new notifications system. Most bugs are known, so don't report them in thread anymore. This is more of a test version to get a preview of the new Rhodium Manila, xboxmod is working on. He was kind of enough to release the new updated and resized Manila files to be used in this ROM and beta test. Thank you.
Changelog for 2.2 beta:
- Using a new XIP and SYS core 21028 generously provided by Arrupenthal
Changelog for 2.1 beta:
- Alarm clock on Manila issue fixed
- Pictures tab resized
- Audio tab resized
- Scrolling in Settings tab fixed
- Scrolling in Arrange Tabs fixed
- New Internet Tab with built in Google search feature and "Push Internet"
- New Rhodium Menu Enhancement
- Fixed Album full screen menu issue
- New Rhodium Comm Manager
- LOTS more Rhodium OEM packages
Known Bugs:
- Some Manila tabs and pages aren't resized yet.
- You can't make calls from the People tab using the shortcuts under the pictures.
- Facebook upload picture in the Album might not work
- YouTube might not play sound, but will display video.
- Adding bookmarks in the Internet tab doesn't work.
- Facebook status in Contacts doesn't work.
A few more that I will post later.
Screenshots:
So the agps stuff from the leaked fuze ROM isn't included?
Either way, it seems like the upgrade is more than worth it (if not somewhat necessary).
Thx!

With all these fixes, Im super excited to see what this rom can do. NRG could you maybe post on the first thread issues yet to be dealt with? I know this is a beta but I would like to have an idea of where we are.
man, I need to get a life
How sad is it that I'm sitting here clicking the 'Refresh' button every 20 seconds, hoping that a download link magically appears in the OP?
@NRG
Being as though the 'bugs are known' with the Rhodium Manila port, and it still being incomplete, is there anything that we actually should report? I think most of us are aware of the issues with the 21018 build (ActiveSync, specifically), but in order for the thread to be as useful/helpful as possible, I thought I'd ask, in order to keep the useless posts and flaming to a minimum.
In 2.0 and 1.5 I have been unable to assign "Programs" tab to the right softkey. Previously I've used TouchPro Tweak or SecondToday to do this, but it won't save the change in these new rom versions. Any workaround for this?

Hi, I'm using the 2.0 beta and loving it. Great job on getting so many niggles out with this build.
Cheeky request: I really don't like the taskbar items. I feel like they kinda detract from the clean look of the device. Is there a way I can get rid of them? I found the taskbar thread and can restore most of them to normal HTC/WM icons using DLL's, but some of them still stay colourfull. I can't find replacement DLL's for things like A2DP/SMS icons.
Cheers

Quick Question, Does this include the new Tabs Editing Feature and render the Diamond's TF3d Config useless? or do the tweaks still apply, ergo does this render all UC Cabs useless (such as your blue manila .can and the wallpaper for all tabs cab?)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If you guys don't mind some registry editing, grab yourselves Mobile Registry Editor (or just use total command), and check "HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila" and maybe "HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila." You'll see loads of stuff there you can try.
For example, if you want to assign the right softkey to Programs tab, you'd change the value of "HomeRSKPath" to "Manila://programs.page" and "HomeRSKText" to "Programs." I personally have it set to "Manila://weather.page" since I don't use the programs tab (check out wktask that has a really useful launcher that pops up when you swipe down the top right corner).
And there's all tabs background cab for the new manila somewhere in the previous thread.

wrong thats from the quartz, not from the rhodium....
Welcome to my ROM thread!
This ROM is the "2.0 series" of my ROM line, and it's designed to have the latest and greatest applications and improvements. Because of this it may not always be as stable or bugfree, as a stock ROM. However, I can assure you, it's much... MUCH faster than any stock ROM on your device.
The ROM is being continuously developed and bug fixed and there's almost daily releases. I've decided to name each release by the date when it was released. For example, 31909 would have been released on March 19, 2009.
The ROM is currently based on the 21038 OS core, with all the new goodies from the newly announced Rhodium device (the Touch Pro 2).
It's got the new new Manila interface which is 99% finished now (thanks to the xboxmod team), new HTC enhanced finger menus, new notifications system, album, FM radio and MP3 trimmer, connection setup etc.
This is a ROM built to play with the Rhodium Manila interface xboxmod over on the Diamond forum, is working on.
Please report bugs related to the ROM itself, but NOT the Manila interface.
We're aware of all the things that don't fit, don't scroll, don't click etc and xboxmod and his team are working on it.
If you own a Touch PRO, use the "Keyboard Selector" application under Utillities (after you flash the ROM) to select the proper keyboard layout to use. The ROM comes with the Fuze layout by default.
Please check the post number #3 for a list of known bugs. If it's there, I don't need it confirmed any more. Thank you!
- This ROM is a Ferrari, therefore it drinks a lot of gas and burns a lot of rubber (RAM)... so be prepared to charge it more often!
Stats: 50% Free Memory on Bootup (94Mb)
Changelog for build 32409:
- Fixed GPS "no bars" problem!
- Updated and streamlined XIP... ROM feels faster than ever.
- Cleaned up SYS folder.
- Added back missing sliding keyboard sounds
- Lots more housecleaning... not important enough to list here.
Regular Version > Download US <<>> Download EU
MS Voice Command Version > Download US <<>> Download EU
Apply the cab listed here after you install any of these versions, to fix the SMS/Email scrolling issues in the People tab.

This build is mainly to address the data connection issues in the 2.0 series.
This ROM was built on the older 20278 system (SYS), but keeping the new gwes for "HTC menu enhancement" compatibility. Data connections (yes, Activesynctoo) work great on this If you want reliability AND the new Manila, this is the ROM to load. Hehe
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

KNOWN BUGS
Some listings in Manila don't scroll all the way to bottom. IE: The SMS and Email pages, the Contact details page... under Contacts.
In Landscape appointments go off the page to the right.
Temperature in "Today's" appointments in the Calendar tab, is still ONLY in Celsius.
Sending SMS from Manila is tricky. While the SMS button does stay on the screen while you type now, it will dissapear if you close and open the SIP keyboard.
Applications I recommend for this ROM:
- Yota Contacts and Dialer
A replacement Contacts and Dialer application, as an alternative to the Contacts app built into Manila now.
- InCallScreenTweak
It's designed to turn off the screen while you have your phone up to your ear, and automatically turn it back on when you're looking at the phone. Works very well.
More to come...
Maybe one more.....
Hey sweet i think ill give this 2.0 a try. I have the 1.7 on my phone right now and its been great except for some reason my test messages wont open.

Can we not clutter this thread like we have the last three. It is mostly due to people asking the same questions over and over again, but it is also due to statements and post that are irrelevant. It helps you and others in the long run if we have a nice clean post. It makes it easier to locate, bugs and fixes and to get updates from the Chef...Thanks for your cooperation.....

This might be an idea or even a stupid one...
How about opening a separate thread for discussions around the 2.0 series, where people can thank NRGZ, tip eachother of software that runs good in the 2.0 series, questions and keep the ROM-thread to a minimum and just use it for bug-reports/solutions to it?
I don't know if it is a good or bad thing, but that way, we would keep this thread clean and still be able to discuss around the Beta..
@ NRGZ28
Thanks. Will load it in and... Oh bummerr.. Another late night.

Using Sprite Backup 6.5
OK, as much as I love the ROMs and the almost daily updates, I gotta ask...
I'm using Sprite Backup 6.5 (I believe the ROM is loaded with the previous version). 6.5 allows for different levels of merging depending on if it's a different ROM on the same device, completely different device, etc. In the hopes of maybe avoiding having to manually install everything (I know I could use UC, but I'm semi-retarded), reset preferences in different programs, etc., can I do a restore using Sprite after flashing the new ROM, or will Sprite end up overwriting files that shouldn't be overwritten (the changes between builds)?
BTW, yes, I searched... someone did ask this once, but it was between different core builds. I am referring to same core build. I just wanna make sure I (and others) can save a little time (a couple of hours in my case) with each update.
NRG: Thanks for your constant diligence at making the perfect mousetrap.
EDIT / UPDATE: The answer to anyone as curious as me is NO. I backed up 0318, installed 0320, restored by 0318 backup, and it all initially looked good, but couldn't make an internet connection. I tried removing and restoring proxies, SR after each, but nothing. After a HR, internet connection came back. Looks like I have a couple hours' worth of reinstalling ahead of me. Sashimi lessons to follow.

Well, you can always try it and find out; then hard reset when you find out that the ROM is buggy as all get-out. But if you do it, DO NOT POST BUGS IN THIS THREAD. They are almost certainly going to be unique to you. I often wonder what percentage of bug reports are due to people doing just what you are considering doing.
Honestly, just learn to use Sashimi. It's easier than UC. I'm an idiot, too, and now that I have Sashimi set up, it literally takes me 5 minutes to get my fuze tweaked after a flash.

Understood sir. I usually try to troubleshoot and research before posting anything bug-related to avoid that very thing (and the flaming that would most certainly follow). Somewhere I have Sashimi, guess it's time to dust it off and learn to use it.

Has the timezone bug in Manilla been fixed? I saw someone mention it in the previous thread but no message about it in known bugs.
I'm based in Toronto and choose (-5) Eastern as my timezone but when I press on the time, it always shows me as (-5) Bogota, which is one hour behind (due to daylight savings time). It's odd because it only happens sometimes and if I don't touch the time, it won't change on me.
Anyway, great ROM though! Even with the minor quirks, it's still one of the best out there! Super fast, and the new Manilla is nice!

This is a known problem of the rhodium manila, not of this port of it, but of the original. If you look in the touch hd rom threads, they are full of the same problem and no fix is known yet. Apparently HTC hasn't figured out how to add in for daylight savings time. A fix is to not use the the world clock of the new manila. You can replace the home tab file with one from standard manila(1c684cd8_manila). This links the home tab clock back to windows default clock/alarm page instead of the world clock. If you'll notice, your phone only changes timezone when you click on the clock to go to the world clock page.
Camera
Hey NRG,
from a technical standpoint, what is the exact reason the camera goes black like that? I was just thinking about it and couldn't tie the radio to the camera.
Its kinda weird?? Not a complaint, just curious from the tech side on why it does that with the newer builds??

Can you post the patch caseydavis posted a while ago that forces F? I can't access his website (gives me a redirection loop error).
Unfortunately, internet tab is still broken (although it was working a few builds ago). Maybe it's not just manila that's breaking it? I don't know, but I can live without it. This ROM is just too good to not use!

Brand new build as of April 4, 2009.
This ROM is based on the latest HTC Official ROM (20764) with 21042 XIP ported in.

Please report back any issues you may have besides any TF3D2 issues.
Thanks once again!
ROM can be downloaded here

Fixed the "start" from being displayed
Windows live is missing. A new version just came out today...
All people does not seem to be crashing here but changed a few things from last upload so maybe it is fixed
Not sure why opera is loading...looking into it.
Have you tried GPS?
gps seems to be fine here same as previous roms for me : )
Does this have most of the latest manila fix included?
I'm trying to apply v1c and internet tab patches, but manila freezes every time after a reset
Hi, i know this isn't a bug but was wondering if you knew how to fix this problem thats is affecting all TF3D 2 users out there.
The problem is in the original Touch Pro TF3D you could fast forward and rewind a song with a circular motion on the capacitive d-pad in the Music tab.
HD and Rhodium Manilla doesn't have these features since those devices don't have a capacitive d-pad like the Touch Pro does
I was just wondering if there was anyway to have Touch Pro music tab in the new TF3D 2???

No it does not. I left it up to the user to update what they want. It seems some updates fixes things while it breaks others.

New build up. Getting closer to final. Please report back any bugs. Also let me know how GPS is working, even if it is working fine.

very nice

hard to believe this is a work in progress!
Some programs won't run (minor bug)
EDIT - NOT BUGS, REALISED THIS IS BY DESIGN. MESSENGER NOT BUILT INTO ROM BUT ICONS ARE SO LOOK IS CONSISTENT IF YOU INSTALL MESSENGER.
/EDIT
Hi mate - just flashed v5.3. First couple of things I tried were:
- Messenger
- Windows Live
- Mail Setup
Each one reported files couldn't be opened (Messenger and Windows Live have icons in the Online folder of Start, so wonder if it's a dependant file missing for them, Mail Setup has generic "unknown file" icon).
If anything else pops up while I'm installing and playing I'll shout, but the ROM's certainly looking nice and very responsive so far - thank you.

Windows Live and Messenger are not built in. I have removed icons and will post the latest Live/Messenger with the nicer icons when ROM is done. I use to cook Live/Messenger in cause some people had problems installing it from CAB but latest version works well.
Thanks!

I'e tested this rom. It seems that it drains a lot more battery even with a hard reset. And second thing i saw that when i've plugged my phone to my computer it gave me an update on zune which i did not accept. Is it something new or what??!

if you are just friendly to ppl which gave you something youre an poor guy..
we should be more social in this forum even if the dev gave you trash for your Phone, he has done it for free.
think about your opinion.
EDIT: this is my last comment about this bcaus its offtopic but needed -.-
Wow, are all WP-only users by default git's? Never have seen this kind of reactions on the android sections.
Bottom line, if you do not like it don't use it. If you like to criticise the work, make it worth it. Let them know why and how you think it would be better. And yes in a respectful and nice way like all grown ups should do. And no, I'm not just referring to being mature thank you.
Make yourself useful instead of looting and leeching software.
Question though: has anyone even looked into the battery drain instead of just complaining about it? Tried disabling all kinds of background running programs but not success. When going to battery save mode it stops the draining so it has to be a background sync issue. Switching off data did not help either.
Rolling back to previous version for now because I need my phone to work thanks for the effort though.
We are happy to announce a new Beta for Amazing Weather HD, available into too flavors one for China users and another one for the rest of the world.

Lock screen support?
- App is not full screen on the htc 8x
- Download size is a bit big for a weather app
- Is it still needed to kill the music to show a video in wp8?
otherwise the app is rock solid and has the same high quality as the wp7 version had.
Adding lockscreen support in the form of a few nice images reflecting the current weather conditions would be a great addition!

Well thanks alot its due to the 720P resolution, we will fix that thanks for your feedback much appreciated.
running version 4.0.1_WP8-BETA_2
HTC 8X
apart from the black bar across the top when in the app, this so far runs very smooth and quick.
When viewing the radar and select 'labels' is this meant to do something? as nothing appears to change on screen.
I'm running it on my 920. With metro design everything is very smooth and works fine. There seems to be a very slight stuttering once in a while with the cloud animations. The transitions between the cities also seem to have some lag but only with the realistic theme and not the metro themes.
General functions are all working properly and showing up correctly.
The app crashed once during opening process but I mailed the automatically generated report already.
Any new beta builds on the way?
Thanks
Sent an email, but figure i'll post here to see if others have the same bug.
Enter app-->click on one of the days at the bottom-->Then start tapping on the screen in various location in the day view. All the info disappears and you're left with a blank screen with the weather animation running. I can swipe the screen left and right and the weather animation changes as if it were switching days.
