[REQ]: How to create new tabs for TF3d - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps

Hi,
does anyone knows how to create new tabs in TF3D?
Tnx

Could you edit the title to add [REQ]? It'll clarify that this is a question rather than a howto (which I thought it was)

Can anyone help me on this??

There is no easy way. But if you know how to develop software and if you are willing to search, read, learn and experiment a lot, like the guys from the links below, 'everything' is possible..

[REQ] Map Search Tab From TF2D on TF3D

I have looked and looked but can't find anything about putting the Map Search tab from TF2D into TF3D. If I have missed it then I am sorry for this post. If it hasn't been done then maybe someone will do it. If someone wants to try and do it I will be willing to test it. I have a stock Sprint Diamond.
Thanks in advance for any feedback.

It's very difficult to take stuff from TF2D and put it in TF3D...
The reason for this is that they are completely different from each other...
TF3D is manila files while TF2D is (I'm not sure here) a app/plugin not built by manila files... but xml and images files...
Thank you for the response. I wasn't aware of that subtle difference (nor can I say I really understand that difference).
Since it can't be ported over perhaps some amazingly talented individual with nerves of steel and a will to tackle the impossible will set out to produce a tab that does the same thing for TF3D. This person would have to be willing to throw caution to the wind and question everything that is know about program development of any kind. An individual such as this would only come along once in a century. I wonder if such a person exists today or if we will have to wait for this great genius to come along...
(was that a little too over the top?)
once a ROM dump of touch HD comes out, it will be possible to port...
Patiently awaiting the ROM dump...

Designer desperately seeking developer to create TF3D RSS Reeder

As a frequent RSS user I still didn't find an RSS Reader which uses the snappy interface and touch friendly buttons of TF3D. So I created some screens hoping an enthusiastic developer feels challenged to create an ultimate RSS reader for TF3D.
Some requirements should be:
Import feeds from OPML file and/or sync with Google Reader
Update All, Update Channel or update Feed seperately (conveniant when using roaming abroad)
Auto update (every .. minutes/hours/days) and notify when new items arrive
... And more
A great wish would be to add the program in the tab structure in TouchFlo.
So the big question is: Which developer feels the urge to create this baby????
If someone feels this urge, I will make more screens, but I first want to know if there's somebody out there who wants to help me...
Hmm that's a good idea, especially love the "sync with google reader" part, browsing google reader on opera mobile is just plain madness.!
Love to see this becoming a real program! Hope someone will help you out nielsepiels!
yeah ! good idea !
Hi,
I'm waiting for it....
BYE, Bobo
hopefully it will become true..i know people in this forum are genius!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Really good idea!!!

Got my vote too - I could offer my services beta testing on my AT&T Fuze - I would definitely donate for this - Heck, I'll give someone a few bucks as soon as i see a beta!
same.. i would def donate some money for this, was thinking of something like this the other night.
anythings better than RSS Hub - buggy as hell with its constant freezes
maybe this is the right place to post it.......i would love to develop such an application (and other tf3d plugins) but i didnt find any documentation on tf3d development so far......the only thread where someone asked for a documentation is only available in google-cache with no answer posted....
maybe you guys or someone who reads this thread do know where to find tf3d-dev-docs...
thx!

TF3D is developed in Lua. D-MAN666 is one of the few guys who knows how to edit TF3D and develop TF3D applications, like his calendar application.
@ Nielsepiels & Mandragore: THX!!
wow, this looks cool. would be awesome if you could code this app. and props to the thread starter, nice screens!
I think we need more threads like this. that way we get more finger friendly and nice looking apps!
Hi guys , i'm sure it's a very useful idea.
I'm thinking about coding this (i'am learning on mobile coding) , waiting for any suggestion , so let's go for making this cool stuff.
ps: sorry for my bad english ;-)
Came across this thread and thought it was worth reviving
There was a thread about this a long long time ago, but I think people just forgot about it. Its such a good idea - and yet HTC havent even mentioned any RSS enhancements for the new version of TF3D on Diamond2, etc :s. I hope someone can make this - they would definately get a donation from me for it
Upping this to see if there are any developments.
I wonder if the email tab on TF3D can be "tweaked" to receive RSS headlines instead of sending and receiving from an email account?
I'm going to try and found out how that tabs is put together it might offer some ideas.
I'd love to be able to flick through the headlines/stories from my favourite feeds like you do with text messages or even better have a "ticker" running across the screen with the latest news..... that would be cool

[REQ] Second-Today

Hail to community,
Sniffed through the forum - found nothing.
Can anyone advice is there a chance to get customizable (like 2-nd today or any other app alike) as a manila tab ?
Would be much appreciated for any advice.
If gurus will find that its not possible, then will be be appreciated no less for your personal opinions on what app can suit this purposes best for Diamond.
Thanks in Advance,
Anton.
there is a programme, called Second today.
Well thanks for the effort mate, but I can google, honestly
"as a manila tab" was the keyword. To make SecondToday appear next to "Home" tab so u can scroll to it instead of tapping on "Today"

If you really could Google, you'd know it isn't possible to have a 'second today' as a TF3D tab
Yeah... been there... heard that...
No, seriously, try to google - will find "Adidas" - "Impossible is nothing"
Its not "impossible". Its problematic.
Working on that...

M2D help

Hi there,
Please don't shoot me down if the info I'm asking for her is already on the forums but I've been trying to find it for ages.
I saw a picture of Asus lamborghini ZX1 a while ago and wondered whether I cold get the same theme on my XDA Orbit. The closest I've found is someone else on here who's started to make one that can be loaded using the M2D software.
What I'd like to do is try to create my own. I've looked all over the place but can't find any help on how to do it. Can anyone direct me towards a website explaining how to create themes that I can install using the M2D software?
This might be a simple question but I just cant find it anywhere.
Cheers,
YP

Unfortunately it is not as simple as throwing some .png and .jpg files into a ThemeGen and out pops a theme. It is, sometimes tedious, editing of xml files. For a better understanding look here.

Possible theme? [help]

Hey guys, this is my first post since i just got myself a touch diamond.
and im not that good on it yet, i found out kinda quick how to change roms and radios and such kinda quick. well anyways.
earlier today i was messing around in photoshop
and made a mockup for how i wanted my diamond to look (view attachment)
and i was wondering is that would be possible to make?
and how do i do that? ive read alot around on google and such but never got hold of it.
so i though if someone out there is good on making themes. im using the WM6.5.WWE.21812.NmLs.v.1.3.2 rom at the moment with touchflo3dv2
and yeah lik i sed i have no clue how to do this.
so if someone would like to help me out that would be great!
maybe do a theme together since im good in photoshop and designed alot of vista/7 visualstyles
and i also is in the gaia09 [http://www.gaia09.us/] project, and thought it would be cool to make a daimond theme for it.. if thats possible
well well if someone is willing to help me out that would be awesome.
cheers, john!

seems nobody will or can help you.. so I will try my best, I will look in to the Programs over the Weekend (hope not to much party, hehe) so I can help you
sad nobody will help a such good graphic-guy like you..
I could help, I've done a few themes for the original TF3D, i'm sure you can use manila editor to create a new TF3D2 file. if you can open activesync and copy all the manila files from your windows folder into a new file and zip and upload it here i'll have a go at editing it for you.
You've only shown a graphic which has got a clock style and the bottom slider style really, have you got any idea of what you want the icons to look like???
if you do want to do it all yourself, i'd suggest opening up the manila files from your windows folder with either Manila editor or CFC Manila editor from the links above and export them to PNG's.... you can then change them in photoshop to what you want, and then replace the originals using the editors... I'd never used photoshop or the editors before trying to make a theme and it's really not hard to do....
There is a Sprint Clock for TF3D HERE. Maybe you can use that for inspiration
