2.6 is being ported by multimm just as 2.5 was being ported by him...

technically many still consider it 2.5 with minor updates...should check out jmz's ported rom it works surprisingly fast for touch pro

I don't see any night and day improvements. I got a chuckle over how excited the guy is about the color icons on the slider...like that wasn't the first thing everyone changes on a custom rom (and we all end up back with the black and white). Those color icons look kinda cheesy to me.

Less is more...speed up TF3D, use less resources, and those of us in the know will be much happier.

2.6 does not work on Qualcom Chipsets.

2.6 was first developed on the HTC Qilin, this device is OMAP3, This was back in june, so 2.6 is nothing new. and the device is using Power Vector Textiles(PVR) for the GFX, and since qualcomm chipsets do not recgonize PVR GFX, 2.6 manila will not work. Qulacomm chipsets use QTC GFX, and not PVR.

but recently 2.6 manila has been getting back ported to 2.5 manila, and that is where you saw that at. if you look at UDK ROM, and in the registry, you will see that Manila_Core version is 2.5.1918, but the version in manila reports 2.6, but its actually 2.5.

2.5 is actually now more powerful the 2.6, and the only reason it is 2.6 is becuase it is developed for a different chipset, and so it has different GFX.

and so a real 2.6 manila will not work in any way on Qualcomm Devices.

Which leads me to think it will never be ported.
