i don't know about that. maybe you haven't noticed, since you've been busy with your android, but we have new 2.5 ROMs that were dumped from topaz and rhodium shipped ROMs. they seem to run much better on the tp2 than previous roms. this could be the reason sprint bragged about their upgrade even though it's coming so late. ya never know.

at the same time, it could easily just be marketing speak. we know they'll at least put sense 2.1 with the home screen weather animations, so technically that's new to the average user out there... can you imagine if you never saw sense 2.5 and then all of a sudden had these animations with an updated sense 2.1? it would probably blow your mind all over again. let's hope they have some stuff we haven't seen tho.

I know this for 100% certainty for 2 reasons, 1st tp2 doesn't have enough ram to fully support sense 2.5 with the fluidity its suppose to run. Have you trikes sense 2.5, do you see how slow the music or picture screen rotates, that's because we lack the ram. 2nd if they were going to update sprints tp2 only (which definitely makes no sense) you would have no need to purchase the hd2, which is the phone they want to push right now. The update may be a 6.5.x update, now that's at least possible.


True I only use my nexus because its a superior device, but I still test every build possible on my paperweight tp2.

pics and music rotate just fine now. again, you haven't tried sense 2.5 built for rhodium have you? they don't rotate with the accelerometer, they rotate instantly by sliding the kb out and things have been changed a bit - the effects that made the tp2 lag have been removed. footprints and documents tab has been removed too. sprint may not be putting it out, but it'll be out somewhere...

Going back to my point, the way sense 2.5 is suppose to run shouldn't require sliding keyboard out, that is a rhodium fix because the rhodium doesn't have enough ram or a fast enough processor which is why Sprint or HTC wont create that rom but you'll be able to find it on websites like this one.

what do you mean htc won't create it? it's from a shipped rhodium rom with a different build of sense 2.5.

No it isn't, LOL. No rhodium ships with sense 2.5. Its a tweak that someone at xda created. All the sense 2.5 roms we use come from the hd2, its just that HTC has had many sense updates since the release of the European hd2. Even the latest build is taken from the T-Mobile hd2 which is how we've gotten the updated tabs.

Eh - Sprint / HTC have the ability to ship a stable Rhodium based Manila 2.5...

Look at it this way.... Ever played a game for the PC... then played the same game for PS3, then played the same game for Xbox? Same concept. Different systems, same game. Just tweaked to work.

Why you gotta be so negative :-\

i think you've missed a few updates. there's a new build of sense 2.5 and it didn't come from xda or the hd2. it came from asia - from a rhodium rom.

quote from wmexperts "The other big news is that this latest ROM comes from a Chinese Rhodium Shipped ROM. To translate and as we mentioned in the last podcast, this is coming from a Touch Pro 2 ROM that is ready to market. That HTC, they never rest."

Like you said that is a different version then what I expect (I expect it to work the same as the hd2), sliding my keyboard out to get pics and music to rotate is BS, using the screen while the keyboard is open is a pain in the ass. So basically that is a dumbed down version of 2.5. The best part about 2.5 for me us the music player, it directly competes with itouch which is by far the best mp3 player in the world.
