Sweet, will upgrade now!!
Thanks for the continued development efrost
Edit: I login to the new site (nice look by the way) and try to upgrade the version but am encountered with this error
Code:
The type initializer for 'FTouchSL.Order.Common.Versions' threw an exception.
BTW the new version installs ok and runs great
nice update, great job thank you
First thanks for the great update. It works very much better on my device and I can use it now.
But I think the new slide actions don't work. I tried to use the brightness plugin(that it doesn't work on my device) and I assigned to down-left, but I cannot make it work. I tried with other plugins and the visual enabled but it seems that doesn't work(or I do something wrong). Same actions work if I assign them to slide up, left, right or down. Any help for that will be appreciate.
And last I made a greek translation for 2.7 version and I can update to this version too, but I need the recourse files(hope that doesn't need to do from the begining again)
loved the FTouchFlo looks like I may need to upgrade now.
Alright! I think you've got me sold now! Great work, as always!
eFrost, just wanted to say first off, great product but will you ever change FTouchSL to a time-based product instead of locking out additional gestures until you buy it? That way more people be reassured that it will work completely (by trying out all of features) on their phone. It might increase your sales also. Just my opinion though. Thanks for all previous works on XDA-Dev!

I believe so. Here are the current limitations for the free trial (link from FTouchSL web site) : http://www.ftouchsl.com/default.aspx?page=info§ion=other&subsection=trial
Awww, I'm so disappointed right now . I just purchased 2.7 at full price without the 15% XDA members discount...and I've been a member on here for a long time :[ And I'll probably have to pay more for 3.0 too right? Sigh :[ Now I remember why I used to use pirated software before :[
Also I'm having trouble getting a new license key for 2.8 off your website, says 'Internal error, please try later'...so I'll try later.
EDIT: I would also like to share the 'visual notification' picture I use too (to match my black/white theme), I just replaced the default ones :]
Haha, you haven't been a member for that long, my friend. Heck, compared to some people here, I've just barely joined. Anyway, just email them and ask if maybe you can get the discount retroactively, they're really really nice, they might understand.
Great upgrade....
Gonna to buy newest vericson (3) after buy Raphael...
BTW:
I've 2.7 buyed and installed at my Kaiser....
One question: Where I download 2.8 and upgrade : Need to reactivate from you or I need to have still activation file (dat or something like this...) from 2.7 vericson???
Thanks.....
BTW: You are czech developers?
Me czech too

You need to visit www.ftouchsl.com to get the latest version (under "Get FTouchSL" or "Download").
You need to generate a new userkey for v.2.80 which you can do so at the "Client Area". You need the existing Device ID (found in the "About" page of FTouchSL Configuration) and the email you used for registeration to login.
Select "Userkey for v.2.8" (or something like that) and a new dat file will be emailed to you.

Efrost the site is down.
It looks like that the site is repaired. At least, I've just received new key
Site is up!
Hello!
We had some problems with the site, so it was down for a one hour today morning. Now it works fine.
For those who wasn't able to upgrade from 2.7 to 2.8: problem solved, so you can easily upgrade and free of change, as usual!
Best regards,

Hi efrost.
I have upgraded to 2.8 but now find that active corners only work on the left hand side of my device. In 2.7 all 4 corners work. I have upgraded my user key to 2.8 also. Is this already being looked into as it seems a few others are having problems with active corners.
Edit:My bad I hadn't soft reset my device so was infact using the trial version! Having now soft reset all active corners are working fine.
Help no active corner or gesta hermes device.
hi im using the new 2.8 on a trial i was going to buy this app but all active corners dont work but the top left works and all gestas dont work im using a hermes300 with crc13.0 normal wm6.1 i know it isent the windows thats the problem becous the last version 2.7 works fine can any body shed some light i now the triel version removes some things but not all plz help!!!!.
I have an xv6800 and version 2.5 seemed to work ok. I recently updated my rom with Verizon's MR1 update (WM 6.1) and decided to try out version 2.8. Now I am having a terrible time getting it to get it to consitantly scroll and most of the time just selects the text as I drag my finger (testing within PIE). I have installed it twice resetting after each install/uninstall with no luck (and yes I did enable it in setup).
Not sure if it is the ROM update or version 2.8 causing my problems. If I could locate version 2.5 I would install it to see if it still works. Any ideas what the problem might be?
is there any way to disable scrolling on the today screen? Some plugins like ultimatelaunch or touchflo2d don't seem to scroll right. You have to delay your press before you can begin scrolling.
I'm Kinda new to the forum and have only recently tried to add new apps and stuff to my X1.
There is a lot of information here about various versions of TF3D/Manilla and if I'm honest there is a little too much and I'm a bit lost amongst it all.
I should state that I have successfully installed a version of TF3D from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442154
but have since removed it due to 1 or 2 issues (worst of which was really slow performance when looking at the photo albumn and not being able to see photos taken with the camera on the pictures tab). So I thought I'd ask for some advice before re-trying.
Question 1.
Which is the best version to install from a stability/features included point of view. Also I am not confident with burning a new ROM so would prefer just a .cab instrall.
Question 2.
For the install recomended is there a way to have it as a seperate panel rather than a today screen replacement. Are there any drawbacks to installing as a panel?
Question 3.
Are there any issues when switched to lanscape mode? (there was on the version I used) if so which modification would be compatable with the one recomended.
Finally if there are any other recomendations you have, for example, further modifications to make the TF3D experience more pleasurable, should I not worry about rom flashing and are there any alternatives to TF3D which could give me the polished interface i am looking for.
Cheers all

Thanks but that leads me to one of the things i was confusedf about.
In the TF3D in Landscape mode thread it is stated that support for the app has been discontinued due to the release and porting of Manilla 2. So should I be using that? if so where can I get it?
Thanks to Sonny
Just wanted to bump this post to see if there was any other advice out there.
I did find the x-panel which look like it may have potential but just wasn't feature filled enough yet.
Cheers
Try TF3D 2 Beta 3
Ah! Just had a ton of pop-ups and now have to type all of this out again..!
Okay, will try to keep it short this time.
Try Daran_Clarke's TF3D 2 (Beta 3). It's taken from the new HTC Touch Pro 2. It includes the official HTC landscape view which works very well. You can install the CAB from here...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=448178
Some advice though. The Right Softkey function gets changed when you install this so the function is to take you to the Today screen, rather than the option above it on the screen (such as Contacts or Menu etc). You can change the Button settings but whenever you restart the machine, this gets reverted back, so that it takes you to the Today screen.
Himuraken was kind enough to point me in the direction of a .dll file which corrects this problem. It's called ManilaToday.dll. There will already be a file named this in the Windows directory on your phone, which you will need to delete. You can't delete this from your PC using ActiveSync. You need to use the FileExplorer on your X1 and browse to the Windows directory. Once there, select 'Menu' then 'Show All Files'. It may take a minute or so to display anything because there are so many files there. Delete ManilaToday.dll and then use ActiveSync to copy the new one across to that same location (Windows directory). You might need to set the Right Softkey button function to Right Softkey, but then when you restart it will keep this setting. You can get the new ManilaToday.dll from here...

Now just if someone could make a Panel for this new TF3D 2! May be awkward tho, as I think there is a new Panel Manager with the new R3AA roms. The Panels designed for that don't work on R2 roms, such as the Growing Panel. So we need someone to make a Panel for this on both the new and old Panel manager! Doubt it'll happen though, and I doubt I'll have the R3AA rom for quite some time. O2 in the UK took literally about 5 months to release the R2 rom!
Regards
Sonny
Thanks again to Sonny I'll probably try that next.
I had i little bit of success with the original Touch-it install now though. I istalled the version 2 of the album app which seems to work much quicker that what is packaged in the Full CAB.
I still have 1 issue tho i wonder if anyone can help?
I want to be able to see all my pictures on the Photos and Videos tab without having to use album app. Currently only images in the my pictures tab display, I'd like to see images that have been taken with the camera whether they are stored in mypicture/camera/100xperia or on the memory card /dcim/100xperia/.
Is there anyway to change this?
Nevermind I sorted it now. Everything is working nice.
Now if only the lanscape app would work properly it would be perfect. Maybe a move to the install Sonny suggested will give me everything I'm after

okay ive had a fair few htc devices, and im a fan of flashing custom roms etc.
i've just ordered an s740 as i think they look like lovely devices and have heard good reviews so far.
Now i've seen olipro's thread which went off topic..
so how shall we get the development ball rolling?
how about a collection to get olipro one of these devices
(going for about £180 - £230 on ebay)
and im sure if we all donate £5 - £10 (or more or less if need be) it wont take us long before we get some good custom roms etc
i know i can't be the only one out there thinking this!
Let me know what you guys think
comon guys
50 views and not one comment?
is everyone really that happy with their device???
Hi,
I only find 1 thing annoying. When the keypad is locked I am still able to use the keys for volume.
For the rest I think the device is pretty good.

I think it is pretty good as well but could still use a few tweaks. I would contribute to any of the following on an otherwise clean ROM...
OS
Windows Mobile 6.5 - Well this is an obvious update, especially if HTC never offers one.
Usability
Tx9 - Sometimes Tx9 is used and sometimes not in various applications on the ROM. Would be much better if it were one or the other.
Browser System Command Warning - Warning on dialing phone numbers from the browser seems unnecessary if the dialer is going to 'verify the number is correct' anyway.
Key backlighting - Frequently I get a reminder late at night and the phone is locked but the reminder doesn't turn on the key backlighting so I can see which option is which. Other applications are inconsistent as well.
Home start menu All Programs - I would prefer to have the option to not see 'all programs' there.
Home start menu scrolling - I don't like having to choose 'more' there. I would much prefer the scrolling through each panel of nine icons.
1,2,3,4 app - I suspect this is an HTC feature but I really dislike having one more UI to learn. When you flip the keybaord open it shouldn't prompt you with a 1 SMS, 2 email, 3 messenger and 4 exit menu even if it is for 5 seconds. Better to keep whatever menu you are in.
Features
Weather Panel - This seems like it should use the GPS and pick a city. Also, if you turn the phone off or in flight mode and turn it back on it should recheck the GPS and change the city or prompt to change the city.
Option to keep keyboard locked even if open - Well some of us have little kids and they figure out how to get the keyboard open pretty quickly
Codecs
I don't know what ships by default but some obvious codecs would be AAC, AC3 and any other standard codecs.
Additional Applications
Impromptu Meeting App - The automatic ring feature is great if you use exchange since your phone will go into vibrate mode in meetings. In fact you get kind of dependent on it handling that for you so if you go to the movies or dinner or an impromptu meeting you forget to switch to vibrate or afterward you forget to switch back. It would be nice to have an app to put a placeholder appointment on your calander for an hour or two (which would switch to vibrate) . Even better if it would remove the appointment afterward.
Shortcuts - It would be nice to create shortcuts to applications in something that shipped with the ROM.
Settings
Home Page - I know this can be changed in the registry but while someone is at it change the web homepage to igoogle or google mobile.
If I like something on Rose, it is boredom with her when setting/tweaking. Without any "exciting" seeking/trying/zilions of reflashings of ROMs.
And, to be honest, MOST of things on your list ARE included in basic settings and some others are easy to be changed by simple (permanent!) tweaks in registry. I'm lazy to collect here what's where, so just two examples:
Rose IN STANDARD supports not just AAC, but AAC+ and eAAC+ as well, others are H.263, H.264, MPEG-4...
Function of your lovely Impromptu Meeting App you can activate on standard Rose in seconds: just activate Auto in Profiles. OK, it does not vibrate (it switches into quiet mode), but it exactly switches automatically ringing behaviour based on calendar events IN STANDARD. And they're much more such things (avoiding Action Menu, keylock not deactivated by sliding of te keyboard)...
So instead of calling for extra ROM, which will do what's already there, my recommendation would be classic: Read the f..... manual first. And if anybody would see gimmicks like iGoogle on homescreen or GPS based weather as so exciting that it will deserve tens (if not hundreds) of working hours on extra ROM just for these - you'll be a lucky man.
IMHO, spending few hours with searching around for settings and these few tweaks would be much faster and time efficient...
we don't need HardSPL, SSPL would be fine. Perhaps we bribe Olipro
$10 each ? whats his price
I'm sure if one of you lent oli your rose for a bit he could work his magic and get the job done
fuk i am on board. can we have some info from olinex(olipro+cmonex) as to how much donations is needed to get this done! i am getting one but shocked as to the lack of dev activity here. come on guys support yourn device.........once we have some solid feedback from the olinex crew then we can get ball rolling! they would really need the device but it is so similar to the touch pro in form factor that HDSPL for touchpro might need slightly tweaking to work on s740
I think this forum is dead no one poast here no one wants to do something with this model..are you so happy with your phones as they are without any improvements?
Maybe if someone could give as a tutorial how to make an HSPL we could do it more fast and we could make the ball rolling can someone do this?i am would be glad to help and do something for this device cuz it`s too awsome :d

Hi Everyone,
Found this great site looking for forums for the HD2, seems every other leads to here in some way another.
Got my HD2 on Monday with Virgin, so in 5 days I've come to find it an amazing piece of kit yet ultimately annoyed.
I've already got a list of problems and annoyances:
Having to double tap and go into the email fully so it appears read
Tapping to reply to a text yet nothing happens
When using the 'phone' keypad it types in numbers
The phone screen basically crashing so when you press a button it doesn't show the unlock screen. Thus having to take the cover off then the back, then the battery
Pressing the x in the corner of an app yet going to task manager and its still open
The over sensitivity when typing a text and showing words that don't make sense in the predictive text
Having to f**k about for ages to get wi-fi off grrr!
Having to install 3.5 compact .net. I still don't know how to do it
I understand there is a cab for the text and app for the wi-fi but surely it shouldn't be like this. I'm not a technophobe or whatever you want to call one and like to think I'm pretty clued up on tech, (That's why I bought the phone) yet I haven't a clue what a ROM does nor how to install them. I can just cope with cabs ha.
It seems Windows/HTC slogan should be 'There's a cab for that'. (not good)
Anyway rant over and Hello! I'm sure I'll be doing more learning over the next few weeks!

not to worry mate, this community is all about sharing and helping each other.
Hi there. I'll try to give you more "readable" info about the issues you mentioned. I'll just change the order of the questions...
Having to install 3.5 compact .net. I still don't know how to do it
You can use the official Microsoft link provided by 27firesnake, but you'll have to do some reading... The simplest way is to download a cab and install it directly on your phone. You'll fine one here (item #18). You should do this first, as many great applications (including BsB Tweak) need this system component in order to work!
I haven't a clue what a ROM does nor how to install them
Well a ROM is basically your operating system (Windows Mobile) + HTC Sense (homepage and tabs). You are currently an official RO (usually called "stock ROM" in this forum). What we need to know is what version you use? Most likely 1.43 or 1.48, which are not the latest from HTC. The most recent released ROM is 1.66 and runs smoother and might give you better experience overall, even though there no major updates (just a compilation of fixes). Anyway, some people manage to get "not yet released official ROMs" (usually called "leaked ROM") and are able to install them on their devices. The latest leaked ROM is 2.07 (that should appear on the T-Mobile HD2). Anyway, I would not recommend installing a leaked or cooked ROM for the moment, since you're still a newbie and just received your device...
Simpler answer: you should install the official ROM 1.66. Try to go on the official HTC website to do so. If your serial number is rejected, you should contact your carrier (Virgin) to know when you'll be able to download it. People here will advice you to install HSPL to be able to bypass this protection, but as I said, you should wait a bit more, when you know Windows Mobile more. To learn more about that subject, go to the link in my signature.
Having to double tap and go into the email fully so it appears read
Well this doesn't seem to be a problem, or I don't understand? The email appearing in the Mail tab are just "previews" of your email and you should tap to get in the "real" e-mail application to read them fully.
Tapping to reply to a text yet nothing happens
I don't understand. You're not able to answer to a text-SMS ?
When using the 'phone' keypad it types in numbers
Again, this doesn't appear like a problem. I mean, you should compose phone numbers when in the phone application. If you write the beginning of a number, you'll automatically see the contacts whose number begin that way. Anyway, if you prefer, you can use the People tab (then "All People") to choose a contact typing the first letter (instead of phone number).
The phone screen basically crashing so when you press a button it doesn't show the unlock screen.
Is it real crashes or just freeze? I mean, I you wait for a long time, like 1 to 5 minutes, the lockscreen doesn't come back? Many people, including myself, reported some freezes from time to time, but the new ROM 1.66 really improved thing on my side. You might look for this thread for more and this one too.
Pressing the x in the corner of an app yet going to task manager and its still open
OK, this is easy to solve. Just install the "Duttys HTC Task Manager". It will install a task manager and enable the closing of any application using the cross. You can find the cab here (tip #7).
The over sensitivity when typing a text
The latest ROM 1.66 decreases the sensitivity of the touchscreen. If you can't install it, the easy way to solve this is to install the (very recommended) tweaking application called "BsB tweak". There are a lot of simple tweaks you can ON/OFF. One of these is called "decrease sensitivity" or something like that. If it's still too sensitive, then you can install the fixes found here. Just to be sure you don't have a flawed unit, check if you touchscreen has the following problems (go see the youtube videos too).
showing words that don't make sense in the predictive text
I don't have answers for that one, but I know the predictive is not the best on this mobile. You have two options:
1 - improve your typing thanks to the less sensitive touchscreen (if you make less errors, the prediction will be more accurate )
2 - install an alternative keyboard like Touchpal or maybe Swipe...
Having to f**k about for ages to get wi-fi off grrr!
Well, there are numerous ways to solve this issue.
- you can install a shortcut on you home page for the (already installed) "Comm Manager". Comm Manager is already installed and was designed for you: it is a collection of ON/OFF switchers (wifi, bluetooth etc).
- you can install an application that simply switch wifi ON/OFF. Then you install a shortcut on your home page, so you simply tap it to enable or disable wifi. You can find an application like that here (along with a lot other more)
Hope this long post helps
Smaberg's WiFi toggle cab (sticky in the apps and themes section) is a godsend (as is the BT Toggle cab). I have the 20 shortcuts cab installed so that on the top row I have shortcuts to each of these on the homescreen, along with my two most used apps and main contact (girlfriend).
BSB tweaks is definitely recommended also.
When you type a name into the Phone dialler, it may show numbers, but it narrows your options by alpha, so providing you can spell the name you're after it works just fine. You'd have to have triple tap letter selection there otherwise, which is just far less efficient than whats on offer.
guy .. i have experience something in my device .. i was wondering why my device keep pop out the error msg like service.exe and the device.exe ..
it is quite annoying because everytime pop out those error msg .. i have to open the back cover and soft reset it .. it is very serious .. happened everyday for 3 to 5 times ..
Tapping to reply to a text yet nothing happens
Yeh, you have to wait (if lots of messages) for it to load above. You can see this by the scroll bar on the right becomming shorter.
Once it has finished loading those messages, you can tap and it will start composing.
But if you tap before those messages have loaded; it does nothing.
Hi everyone
I finally changed my phone to htc hd 2 after being hooked to iphone for 3,5 years and frankly, I'am pretty happy with my choice
But i really can't get some thing straigt, why do people change their original rom's giving by the manufacturer to the custom ones made by those genius developers?
Is Manila the name of the rom made by the developer? And isn't sense the real name of the firmware?
Where can I purchase a ebook reader to windows mobile 6.5?
And finally is there a quicker way to connect my contacts to their facebook profile then to do it individually?
Thank you for taking the time to read the post and thanks for all the help that may come.
Sincerely
Alan
Hi,
I can help you as to why you would upgrade the roms, simply because the phone has lots of stuff on it you wont use and if its not there then the phone works faster and better, also the roms may have other utilities built into it that are very handy that do not come with stock...personally its also taste as well...roms are made in the 'kitchen' and the people that put them together are called 'chefs' they are all different and i am finding that out myself...as for the other questions...cant help you there........YET.

once you have done it once, so long as you backup your contacts you don;t need to do it again.
Their facebook info is held in each contacts 'notes' field. So long as that gets synchronised when you backup/restore, facebook associations will still be there as soon as you log in to facebook from the phone.

Manila and Sense are both names for a user interface built by HTC to sit on top of WM and iron out some of the wrinkles.
Latest versions of WM6.5.5 have a reader tab built into Sense but there are a number of other options out there. I believe Freda is a free reader? You should find it via Google.
Whilst I appreciate that your question in the thread title is hypothetical, I would suggest that the direct answer for now is 'you shouldn't'. Get used to the phone, do a lot of reading here, try out some of the tweaks and apps, and forget about ROM upgrades until you know the phone and the operating system better - may save a bit of heartache in the short term to fight any initial temptation!
originally i flashed mine to get rid of all the telstra lock downs imposed on the phone and remove all the foxtel and bigpond junk, but as a byproduct of flashing my phone is now faster, has longer battery life, is much prettier, has loads of customizing tools and upgraded browsers, and can perform many more functions.
in the all contacts section the events tab auto detects possible matching facebook and local contacts, where you can attach them with 1 click, i find the manual way much better in the long run however.
i am experienced with flashing other devices though and i would recommend a lot of reading first before attempting it, and never flash with the sd card as it will end painfully.
Best ereader in my opinion is allreader:

Does it break the warranty to flash it?
And do you know of a rom that would allow me to write in Russian/English and preferably also Norwegian? Thank you!
Linking contacts to Facebook
To automatically link all your contact to their Facebook profiles:
1. Go to 'All people' in the contact tab.
2. Slide across to 'Updates and Events'.
3. All the profiles that match up (by name) will appear below your profile at the top. This will take a while if there are loads.
4. Select this, check they all are right and click done.
Also you have to put HSPL on your phone to install a cooked (or any other) ROM which will invalidate your warranty. Although it can be uninstalled to send it back if necessary. (Read all about it in the sticky HSPL thread in ROMs and development).
Hope this helps.
