Ok guys i've been watching youtube videos for the HTC touch Diamond and the interface for that phone looks MUCH more promising than the interface of my HTC touch cruise... don't get me wrong I love my phone but for 720 bucks I think I could have gotten something more worth while..... Do you guys think it's possible to use the HTC Touch Diamond interface on the touch cruise??
I suggest you look at the current "Diamond" ROMS that are available that have been ported for the Polaris in this forum. obviously the HTC Diamond does have a faster Graphics chipset so you cannot compare speed tests.
The Diamond roms are, imo, not the Diamond interface which the topicstarter looks for. It just has an Diamond skin on WM6.1.
if anyone has an original Diamond ROM ported for the Polaris, i would certainly donate to that guy/woman....
What desiroxta is probably looking for is the tflo 3d... is not the only one wanting it. So far there is only the vga version. Polaris is qvga. So we will have to wait.
Not just wait for the qVGA resources but graphics acceleration as well as it relies on it. There are Manila (its codename) builds around, even qVGA ones and I think I'm safe to say, they dont work. 0.5-2fps isnt exactly what I'd describe as "working" in my vocabulary.

nope, thats what ppl try to tell you..
some applications can be used, but interface, as you describe it, is not working.
its the main OS from MS that is ported, not the diamond interface
Friends,
I've looked through hundreds of pages and can't find much that notes it is VGA compatible. Can any of you post links to shells that work with VGA? I'd love a WM7 or Diamond theme, or anything dark and attractive. A simple one with calendar and no tabs for lots of room.
Anyone?
There is less people use VGA device rite now thats why skin for VGA is only a little I just can find VGA skin at http://mobileshell.ppc-theme.com
Please if anyone have the info where I can find VGA skin for mobileshell , please share also thanks
I'm having no luck at all...

You are very positive. I am not.
Athena is about a year on the market. Universal, I guess about 2 years. Bouth support VGA. Didn't help.
Er.. you could try to edit your own theme. I own a I780 but in RealVGA mode at 96 dpi, all the layouts are messed. I did a lot of editing and came up with the basic theme running at 96dpi mode. I had also done a Diamond theme and did some modification work as well.
You could try to do it.

But HTC Touch Diamond is different you can see if anyone made a thread about "Touch Diamond" the views will be thousands so its different..hope this Diamond will really made all VGA users becomes diamond hehe
If I had a VGA Device to test with, I would support it on my themes, but unfortunately I only have qvga devices.
A friend is going to loan me his 240x240 for a couple days so I can port to that though.
need VGA
I for one very much miss VGA. I had a Dell x50v back in the day and the screen was AWESOME!
I WILL be getting the Diamond Pro (with keyboard) when it comes out in the US.

From what (little...) I understand Your main question is if Mobile Shell is VGA compatible and not about themes.
Yes, it is. I've been running it smoothly on my Eten X500+ for months now together with SPB Weather, Time and Diary. It is IMO fast and reliable and lacks almost nothing I want from a shell. I will try iContact again when someone makes it truly VGA-compatible (larger icons, buttons and text) but Mobile Shells contacts is also quick and easy to use.

which one do everyone think is better
M2D is more popular, but Throttle Launcher is improving quickly and is more customizable with plenty of features such as Flash plugins and Widgets, etc... TL is clearly the best UI for WM.
I use both
Use Manilla2D as regular, then some of the tabs of TL in SecondToday.
TL as I been reading M2D can take up quite a bit of space on a non-htc device.
neither
rltoday will remain on my screen forever. I love mucking around with tl and m2d, but in the end I always go with rltoday.
Both are very nice today plugins, but my personal preference is rl.
@drmidnight: really? i mean, i respect your opinion, and you've released some great-looking themes for rl, but i've found that rl isn't very functional. having to use mortscript's sys2reg feels sort of... i don't know, inelegant? though i admit it's easier to make rl look great.
i'm actually debating which of these to install once my phone comes back from repairs. TL still seems a little buggy but i like how customizable it is. plus i'm a little wary of HTC apps, i used htc home on my Prophet until i realized that it had a huge memory leak and it would randomly soft-reset my phone!
As of the last few versions: M2D
While I love tweaking things, the ease of use they've finally achieved with M2D and it's skins is something that TL can't compete with right now.
TL has a ton of potential, but unless you have both the time, and the knowledge, for it (and lots of both) then it's a lot less user friendly ;P
how did you get both to work i have been trying to useTL on second today but it doesnt load for me
The main Problem is that TF2d runnes fast like hell on any Device and TL doesnt

I really enjoy the simplicity of it.
well TL are more costumizable than manila and take less ram and storage.. but for over all performance i vote for manila
TouchFlo2D run really fast without lacking..so I prefer that
speed is everything. you can't see any "loading" warning on manila. so my vote is going to manila.
I use manila 2d because im lazy and dont really want to edit anything myself. But when i did use throttle i love it customize your weather and you can add your today screen plugins. So both are good just depending on if your lazy or not
I have been cooking both in my device (Atom Exec).
TL: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=421349
TF2D: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=433600
I was very happy with TL and proud of being a skinner of a GSmart alike but it used a lot of RAM.
Storage isn't an issue since they were cooked in a ROM.
As for TF2D, weather is far better, tabs are much faster and it eats less RAM.
Despite the effort I have been putting in skinning TL my vote goes for TF2D.

@Jaime Méndez
Hi!
Can you share your TL theme please? . It looks awesome. Also... have you tried it with 0.9.4k? It theorically must work a lot faster.
@everybody
Well, I don't want to hijack the poll. I know my opinion is not impartial but here it is:
TL Wins:
- Scalability
- Customizable
- Potential
TF2D Wins:
- Speed
- RAM footprint (but this depends on the theme you're using for ThrottleLauncher).
Understand that throttle's target is to be able to do almost "any possible interface". And that's something that has it's drawback in performance as everything is configurable. Touchflo2D on the other part has may fixed things that make speed and mem save possible.
Also ThrottleLauncher is still on beta stage and some improvements are still under progress...
ThrottleLauncher is only an UI framework to allow people with nice design ideas for new interfaces to implement them eassily .
Any way I'm really proud that an application developed by me on my free time is even taken in account as a UI developed by a whole multinational enterprise ... and still gets some votes!!!
Well... to sum up use TF2D if all that you want is speed and RAM but keep an eye on Throttle , and if one day you feel creative give Theme development a try....
both are slow

Lol, do you trying to install them on Nokia or something?
close this thread, its no popularity competition. or move to Off topic.
i hate it seeing the development and hacking section full of skins for every sh!t and polls about whats better.
theres already no overview about new developed applications. the xda forum deserves an own subforum for skins and themes like for the new devices that have been added.

I use M2D at the moment as it is very pretty and it works smoothly. Throttle Launcher has more customization, but the animation is not as smooth as M2D and it cannot completely duplicate the TouchFlo3D plugin...
Hi all,
Just wondering, I know the universal doesn't have a capable graphics chip, does anybody know whats a good touchflo interface, fast without so much lag, stable, lightweight?
I tried throttle launcher a while back, to resource intensive, super slow and buggy. Anyone got it right with the new one?
The best solution i guess is legendary SPB Mobile Shell 3. I guess that could work smoothly on the uni, but what's the memory (RAM) footprint like, since many of us are using the 64mb uni?
I've also seen alot of talk of Manilla or is it Touchflo 2d, so many forums, though mostly relating to newer phones.
Anyone who has found a great touchflo like interface for uni let us know. At the moment my today screen is all about quick access with SPB Pocket Plus Today and HTC Home VGA integrated to the Home page for that old touchflo look of the old original Touch.
My 64mb Uni does not support heavy graphics and I prefer good performance over nice looking
I´m using large HTC home VGA and works great

Please check this images and video from new Manilla for HTC Firestone

Wow this is super!
Want it! On my diamond 1
I second this, want!
third that!
I will fourth that
But it looks pretty slow on that touch HD, so i think at the diamond it will be even worse?
Very useful!
Read that it's far from stable atm. I think that WVGA devices are the first to show Manila V2.5 before you'll see it on VGA devices like the Diamond.
I want it too!
Time to resize some of that
I hope HTC remembers us with vga displays.
I definitly like the looks of it.
wow! it's so nice. does exist somewhere?
this is ugly as hell. they placed 300 things in the manilla, and now it is getting complicating.
buttons and options all over the place!
I thought they stoped tf3d programming cause of sense....next generation of wm phones should use htc sense and not longer tf3d
I could hardly see WinMo which I don't know if it's a good thing or bad thing. Anyways, seeing this made me want to buy the diamond2 more.
any news about 2.5?
