[APP] XBmod Manila Rhodium (TP2) port V1D - 4.8.09

[fat boy]

XBOXmod/ port from Touch Pro 2 - not ready for primetime and now abandoned for the topaz port. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=493531

New features in the TF3D port from Touch Pro 2:
-New greatly enhanced people tab, has a mini tf3d application inside for full history and contact options.
-Facebook link w/ contact and facebook integration with internet
-New Calendar interface that provides links to day to day calendar information.
-"PUSH Internet" that ques up favorite websites at selectable times during the day.
-Stocks Tab has been changed from a graph to a linear view.
-LANDSCAPE, this is the BIG plus. It is a true TF3D interface on the landscape view, very very nice.
-New notifications screen that only shows the current notifications in a full screen layout.
-Upgraded weather w/ 4 day forecast.
-Enhanced World Clock/alarms screen
-Customize tabs option in settings with the addition of G-Sensor

My review and recommendations will be for a Sprint Touch Pro with stock rom and I haven't been able to keep up with this time wise.

Updated Feedback and Issues:
it seems XBmod has abandoned this Rhodium port(with good reason) and is now working on a newly released Topaz rom manila. There simply were too many bugs in this version to make it a real daily use manila and supposedly the new topaz port will function a lot better because HTC has fixed a lot of errors and XBoxmod is better at what he does.

How to Install: Download the rar from the XDA link above(it is too large to post here). It is HIGHLY recommended that you run a 21xxx rom. Here is a sprint stock rom 21XXX for CDMA http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=50471 and here is a how to thread http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=43266
-Hard reset to stock rom strongly recommended! but not required I did both and it seems best with a clean setup. There are issues with backups of contacts not working in the contact tab so understand not all is perfect and your just testing this out.
-Go to start/settings/system/power/advanced/ and uncheck all boxes. Go back later after full install and reset to what you want
-Install net cf 3.5 or have a rom with net cf 3.5 built into it.
-Turn off TF3D in settings and do a manual soft reset.
-Install "xbmod policy.cab" from the "Required" folder to the device, NOT the storage card, this goes for all the cabs.
-Install "XBmod VGA Rhodium Manila.cab" to the device. This cab takes a while to load, be patient, then hit "OK" to restart.
-Install HTC New Contact Card.cab then click "OK" to restart.
-Delete the My device/Application Data/HTC/databases/forecast_cache.db file BEFORE you use the weather tab. If you still have a problem with weather then use the file "2330fc3c_manila.zip" below to overwrite the manila file in the windows directory using Total Commander.
-Now go into settings and turn on TF3D.
-You may want to install some of the cabs from the "Optional" or "Manila Tweak".
-Go to the settings tab and click on "Customize Tabs" and you can turn on or off the tabs as you like and rearrange them.
-At this point your new TF3D port form Touch Pro 2 should work and before you load programs or customize go get familar with it, then you can begin to customize.
-You can now go back and correct your power settings to what you desire.
-It seems to work better as you use it more.
