Forum posts at PPCGeeks.com and XDA-Developers.com have been promising ROM updates from Alltel for weeks but with nothing to show once the promised date arrived. I’ve been following the posts since the announcement from HTC that there would be an update available and finally decided that since Alltel wouldn’t release anything I would get a cooked ROM from the real developers — the users.

I knew that I wanted the HTC Touch Pro interface, dubbed Manilla 2D, mainly for the ease of access it gave to everything, something that the normal Windows Mobile interface lacks. So I went with Conflipper’s Manilla 2D Alltel 6.1 ROM and I haven’t looked back on the 6.0 ROM at all. It was a simple process (especially for someone who had never flashed a cooked ROM before) and took all of 2 hours.


If you are on Alltel and want to update the instructions and all the files are here: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=33359. Follow the instructions and everything will work out A-OK. If you have problems the great community at PPCGeeks will try their best to help you out.
