on your first release I was able to install igo8, and text to speech worked,
with this new release text to speech will not work, so something was left out, text to speech does work with HTC stock ROM, so something changed,

Also wasn't there a calendar in the manila 1.2 ?

Thanks lionedas

Hmm, I'll look in to it, thanks for letting me know. As for 1.2: It does NOT contain the calendar. It's actually the version that is originally meant for the Touch Pro/Diamond, without a calendar tab. There was a calendar tab that someone at xda came out with, but it's not the manila calendar. You can get a working profile manager tab, and call history tab, though (Ported from HD, i think). Remember, the more tabs, the more memory it'll take up. TF3D is already quite the memory hog.

I have been working on an updated version of the ROM, and if people are interested enough, i'll release it. Here's what I have in it so far:

+ Opera Mobile 9.7 fully integrated in Manila 1.2 and themed to match.
- Taking out kinetic scrolling for the few apps that have it. (Seems it's causing more harm than help.)
+ More accurate WHITE battery meter
+ Nicer Stock HTC-lookin' 5 level signal bars.

Hit THANKS please, or I won't know. ;D

I'm a big fan of 6.1 I tried 6.5 for a bit but I noticed that it was a memory hog, ran a bit slower, and some of my apps were not working with it, so I gave up on it for the time being.

I flashed your ROM for everyday use, I like the green menus,
after a clean flash, I add Tsowen task bar, Music id, grovefish, and igo8,

Transparent sliding menu buttons on main screen would be nice,
finding out why igo8 text to speech stopped working would be another
and having a calendar would be about the only things I would change on the setup.

Thanks again

I'll look into the other stuff, you said, but here's the Calendar tab by D-MAN666 over at XDA. This is as good as it gets, because this version does not support the HTC Calendar. (Use Advanced Config to change the tab order.)

I would have to admit that this Rom has been a breath of fresh air! I have tried many of the 6.5 Roms and always enjoy trying something on the cutting edge; however, I have recently begun to run this Rom as my everyday use rom and have been very impressed (not that I am someone anyone was aiming to impress, but I have been anyway).

Just wanted to say thank you leadpoizon for putting out a quality 6.1 Rom! Now I can enjoy using the phone without the delays and hiccups found in the 6.5 Roms.

I will certainly hit thanks about the updated Rom.

Here's what I have so far on the Updates to come:

+ Updated drivers
= Decided to keep kinetic scrolling (I wonder if anyone even likes it, haha. I do.)
+ Perfected Internet Sharing with Sprint
- Cleaned up Phone Settings menu in Comm Manager a bit.

I will be using Post #3 for a few cabs that I'm soon going to put up. Like:

~ In call-recording perfected and working. (Though, there is still one small bug, which is why I don't build it in.)
~ Profiles Tab for Manila.
~ Add the Calendar Tab to post #3
~ Transparent bottom curtain for Manila.
~ Transparent top Curtain for Manila.
~ Google Maps 3.2.1 which seems to work perfectly with A-GPS. (The newer version with Starring doesn't work well with A-GPS)

I usually make a custom build with Sprint Carrier settings built-in for myself, and this one is specifically for you peeps, so holla' if you need anything.

Just testing it out for stability and such until I release it!



@lionedas: I hope the calendar tab works out for you. It's hard to make the bottom curtain transparent only in home tab, because it conflicts with the 'background on all tabs' mod. I have updated the drivers on this one, so I hope IGO works for you when I release it. I don't have it myself (I use Garmin Mobile XT.), so I can't test it.

Wow, I'm flattered, lol. Thanks.

Transparent in all background tabs is great if you can get it to work.
I have run Garmin also, they dont have as many poi's as igo, but it still is a nice app. You must try igo8 though!

i'm excited for the updates. using mightyrom4 right now but going to test this in the morning. hopefully it suits all my needs. hope for some frequent updates since 6.1 is just about dead in the eyes of the chefs.
