Don't mean to sound noobish here BUT hehe here it goes.

I am wondering on the downloads for the new 6.5.3 build it has manilla and titanium downloads. Now the question is are these ROMs set just to manilla with no titanium, and titanium with no manilla, or do they include both?

sorry I know I know...there are no stupid questions just stupid people hehehe but seriously.

Ok I went ahead and flashed it (6.5.3)...here are my thoughts...

First NATF, great work on the ROM it looks well put together.

Now I am wondering if you are planning to upgrade to the new Sense UI instead of the stock touchflo?

Also I have noticed some lag in the switching of tabs

Other than that like I said quite stable for a 6.5.3 ROM and even better because its geared toward VZW which I also have so thats a big plus.

Thanks for posting this. I'm in the process of building an updated Extras section which will contain CABs like this.

Manila is TouchFLO, and Titanium is the new WM6.5 interface; also known as Chome.

The Manila builds also contain Chome/Titanium since it is the default UI for WM6.5. However, the Titanium builds do not include Manila.

Now that I am satisfied with the overall stability with the ROM, I will begin to tweak it with updated apps like Sense 2.5. Sense 2.6 has limited landscape support since it is only on the keyboard-less Leo, so I do not see any benefits to adding it... yet.

when I am in an application, such as outlook, on the bottom, buttons don't appear. I know they are they because I am used to them, and if I click on the spot on the screen, I get the appropriate menu. For example, if I am reading a message in outlook, between the keyboard icon and the X there is a space which is blank, there should be an icon. If I press the space, I get the menu for "Delete, Reply/Forward, Mark As Unread, Followup, Move, View, etc". Also, in settings, if I am configuring home, i have the arrows, but no text. I can click the area, but the icons aren't there which should say "Items" or "Appearance".

I do not have either of these issues you mention. Did you install a custom theme?

Yes, I used a custom theme. I changed back, still had problems, reflashed, left alone and all is fine. Question, though, if you don't mind. I use custom themes because they use less space between messages in outlook, also in menus. how can I tweak a your theme to use less space between messages and menu options? Also, if I am in outlook and go reading message with the device in landscape, then turn it around, outlook still stays landscape and everything is sideways until I exit out and go back to the home screen. Happy thanksgiving!

Well after using the ROM over the last day these issues have occured...

1) The manilla slider will sometimes move a little below the start menu.
2) After so long I can't turn the screen on anymore and have to soft reset to do anything.

Not bashing your ROM or anything NATF just not working for me. I just think 6.5.x ROM's are still too buggy for me to mess with. Keep up the good work though.

Oh and Happy Thanksgiving to All.
