Which Manila on VZW 6.5 Update?

[p-slim]

sense 2.5 will only be for the leo rom. It takes alot of ram to run manilla 2.5, htc will not use this on the tp2.

I promise that Ido not intend to disrespect, but if this is true, why does it seem so many people are running 2.5 now and using bignadad's tweaks and customizations? Does 2.5 really slow down the tp2's functionality that much?

If I knew I could do all the same cool stuff with 2.1 that is possible with 2.5, I wouldn't feel bad about using 2.1.

I run 2.5 also and I know exactly how much slower it is then sense 2.1 and I know exactly how much more ram that it uses. I have programs close because i often have too many programs running, this only happens with 2.5. if they used the exact same amount of ram and it ran the same, nobody would be using 2.1. sense 2.1 has no advantages over 2.5 (other then less ram usage, and 2.1 messaging if you're on sprint, but you can have 2.1 messaging on 2.5). 2.5 also has the best music player, and the new htc messaging.

How much RAM do you have free upon boot with 2.5? As for messaging, on my 6.1 stock rom, all I ever use is the winmo sms/mms app because the HTC app is too slow.

So even though 2.5 is noticeably slower for you, you still prefer it over 2.1?

How slow is it? I really like my transitions and such to be fluid :-\

I exaggerated, its not slow because once you use it, it starts using up all your ram. But the music player for instance comes up slower then 2.1, but programs do run at about the same speed.

on fresh boot, i'm at 61%, slide to the right a couple of times but don't open any programs i'm at 67%

WOW. I can't believe I missed this thread.
I work for VZW and have access to pre-release ROM's.

NOW !!! BEFORE YOU ASK - NO I WILL NOT GIVE IT TO YOU, SO PLEASE DON'T ASK - I LIKE MY JOB WAY TOO MUCH FOR THAT.

With that being said, I have been running the VZW 6.5 ROM for the TP2 for quite a while now. And...

the answer is....

Sense 2.1

Yup... VZW has been kind enough only to grace the WinMo 6.5 for the TP2 with SenseUI 2.1

Sorry...

Attached are screenshots of a 100% stock VZW TP2 running the 6.5 rom.

NOTE: This DOES have the weather clock, but this device is not active and I didn't have WiFi available so there is no way to update it.

[kidwolf908]

Wow

@brent372 - Thanks for letting me know man, even though it's crappy news... so it's just like the stock Imagio ROM then?

I guess I'll be looking more seriously into flashing then. The only thing I worry about is all the bugs and fixes that cooked ROM's require.

I think I'll start a new thread with a poll to see which Sense 2.5 ROM most people like.

Thanks everyone!

EDIT: BRENT, does the 6.5 upgrade with sense 2.1 at least have landscape working in all tabs?

[clueless25]

Yea well, i'll load it just for an updated radio but will switch back lol

Brent: just curious - any word on when Verizon is actually going to put out the TP2 6.5 ROM update?

I use the phone for work and can't have alot of reflash/tweak downtime, hence the thought of using an OEM reflash.
