Upgrade To Newer Touch Flo 3D?

Im interested in having the newer version of Touch Flo 3D from the Touch Pro 2/HD/Diamond 2 on my Verizon Touch Pro. Is it possible to add this to the stock ROM that comes on verizons pro or would you absolutely have to flash the rom?

I've never flashed a rom before so i was wondering what are the advantages/disadvantages of flashing from the stock ROM? when u flash do you still get all the applications that came on the stock rom? how do you go back to the stock rom if u wanted to take the phone back to the store or whatever?

has anyone successfully added the newer touch flo 3d on a verizon touch pro? how does it work? any problems or anything?
thanks for any help

Re: Upgrade To Newer Touch Flo 3D?

im not sure if its absolutley necessary but the developers highly recommend you have a build of at least 21000. may cause some issues but give it shot regardless

Re: Upgrade To Newer Touch Flo 3D?

as far as the "how to do roms thing", i'll try to help
i will quote a couple threads here to make something a little more cohesive. Follow these steps and you should be golden.
it seems that the most popular roms right now are Juicy 7 and Mighty 5

1) make sure you have .NET framework installed on your PC! if not, get it from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en
2) if you have vista, WMDC update is recommended: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobi...ce-center.mspx
3) now decide which Hard-SPL you want to flash. if you have Verizon, flash VZW package (Verizon_HSPL_Package.zip). if you have Sprint, Telus or Alltel or Bell, flash default package (Raphael_CDMA_HSPL_037.zip).

instructions:

1) download Hard-SPL package from above, extract to an empty folder.
2) you must Have Phone Synced with PC in Windows Mobile!
3) run HardSPL exe that you downloaded before.
4) follow steps in the RUU, and check on the device for prompts after PC shows loading bar.
5) it should go to tricolour screen now and say 0.25.C-SSPL or for Verizon devices it should say 0.35-C-SSPL.
6) SPL flashes, device automatically reboots, job done.
7) to confirm you got it installed, go into bootloader mode (tricolour screen!) and verify the screen shows 0.35.CMONEX or 0.37.CMONEX (or 0.25.CMONEX MFG).
