Hi Crisytaiser! Welcome to the Forum.
It can be done but it doesn't work especially well. This is due to the Cruise not coming with any 3d video drivers - although some smart members of this forum developed some, however they cause problems with the way the Cruise's backlight works.
If you're interested, take a look at this topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=465507&highlight=tf3d
It's in the Kaiser forum, but is relevant to the Cruise as well.
I don't know whether the stock HTC ROM supports the 3d drivers (which can be found here: http://www.htcclassaction.org/driverprogress.php#update_20081009_1 ).
You can get it working and it does look pretty sweet, but it isn't reliable enough (IMHO) for everyday use.
You can get TF2D (called Manilla 2d) that works really well on the Cruise. Read about it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=398173
This works pretty much like TF3D but doesn't have much animation.
Before you do anything though, make sure you have a good read of the stuff in the wiki - it ain't that hard to turn your expensive device into a paperweight if you're not sure what you are doing! Good luck.

Thanks for the answer! I will check out you'r added links!

Damn that new HTC Diamond looks impressive (http://www.htc.com/europe/product.aspx?id=46654). Anyone know if it will be possible to rip the software/rom out of it and install on our Polaris'es?
"Nothing is impossible, what's impossible just takes longer time."
normally htc should put this diamond in new rom wm.6.1 if they will do it, I ask them but they answer (we are working hard....)
More info from London:
http://www.phonemag.com/htc-touch-diamond-is-announced-demoed-052686.php
It looks damm good indeed.
Hope the firmware can be used for the Polaris..only the camera is a 3.2mp..that's a bit low for a new model if u ask me..other gsm's work with 5mp at this moment.
And also the polaris has a 3.2 mp already.
It WILL have WM6.1 but... it is too soon to talk about software for this upcoming device.

Damn impressive handset. I was wondering how much of native WinMo interface available to end user? The less is better, I suppose
Here you can see better :

Diamond is VGA device, so i'm not sure that it will be possible to use GUI from it on Cruise which is QVGA.
Also question is about acceleration and drivers, cause this features would be really slow on Cruise.

Touch Cruise has 4 times less pixels than Diamond.
Processing power shouldn't be the limiting factor.

The manila interface was out for a couple of months ago, but nobody was able to port it into a Kaiser:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=363500
I think it was time to release a new designed model, the formers models were not so beauty, finally an answer from HTC to the new requirements of the market.
Good Luck HTC....!!!
HTC Diamond will be shipped as O2 xda Diamond in june 2008.
100 € for the unit, 20 €/month with 100 minutes to all national networks.
Preinstalled are TomTom 7 (maps have to be purchased at TomTom) and Opera Mobile 9.5

Pretty awesome device and much cheaper as iPhone

I was just about to buy a touch cruise.
Damn it beats the crap out of iPhone!
Does anyone remember we all said we won't be buying another HTC product?
We are suckers (well, at least I am) really.
ok selling a polaris then, wtb diamond
I'll wait someone will sell his Diamond
I'd like to know if anybody is interested in a ROM Omnia Style ???
I'm not able to cook and so i'd like to know if any cookers think to make it
seems to be quiet here.. yea.. i would like the omnia type one too. too bad the screens are different.

Thanks but i'm italian
I would love a omnia rom but we should wait for the 3d drivers first.....
Oh...I see!
Well I agree...an Omnia style ROM would be nice. I was battling between getting Cruise and Omnia before i purchased the Cruise.

HTC has said they're not moving forward in that area, because...
"HTC DOES plan to offer software upgrades that will increase feature functionality, over the air wireless speeds and other enhancements for some of the phones being criticized, but we do not anticipate including any additional support for the video acceleration issues cited in customer complaints. It is important for customers to understand that bringing this functionality to market is not a trivial driver update and requires extensive software development and time.
HTC will utilize hardware video acceleration like the ATI Imageon in many upcoming products. Our users have made it clear that they expect our products to offer an improved visual experience, and we have included this feedback into planning and development of future products." [according to HTC]
i think so,htc had given up to upgrades.
plugins of Omnia is too large.almost 35M,I dont think its useful
actually if you look through that omnia thread there are cabs whoch are small like 9mb that is what I am running and it works great except for the mplayer which they are still working on. The 3D drivers....I was talking about in this forum udk is working on it I do beleive.
ol,seems that i make a mistake.
hope 3d drivers coming soon.
I am new to all this and was referred here by a collegue. I am considering purchasing a Diamond2 over a HD due to the updated Touch Flo 3D, however, I'd much prefer a HD if the updated Touch Flo 3D is available to be flashed. I did a search but couldnt seem to find anything.
Is this possible to flash/load the newer version of Touch Flo onto a HD?
Cheers and sorry if this is in the wrong forum.

A lot of the latest cooked roms already have the updated TF3D in them. Just check latest WM6.5 roms and some of the WM6.1 ones
Sorry if this is a noob question.
How can I update only the TF3D without installing a cooked ROM?
Hi everybody,
i just found this http://www.htc.com/www/press.aspx?id=103534&lang=1033
If you scroll down a little bit you'll find:
HTC Sense
Built on a culture of innovation and a passion to enhance peoples lives, HTC shapes the mobile experience around the individual. Debuting on the HTC Hero and available on all new HTC devices moving forward, Sense delivers on three basic principles: Make it Mine, Stay Close and Discover the Unexpected.

A nice Video can be watched here (ok ... it's Hero => Android, but should look similiar on WinMo-Devices ... except Multi-Finger-Gestures)
Watch how it works with Flash here
IMHO this looks very promising
@Developers:
What do you think ... will this be running on our belowed Blackstones?
@Mods:
If this is the wrong Forum, please move this Thread.
Thanks in advice.

Looks promising but I think it would be a while before you would see this on a WM device
I bet that 90% of the cooked HD-roms will contain that interface within the next 6 months
And it looks very promising
greetz
It is new UI for Android OS, HTC loves to make UI for different OS
Windows Mobile ==> Touch FLO 3D
Android ==> HTC Sense
I love it's analog clock
I want it

That sounds petty cool !
Did your preview ROM (released as a preview around the 16th june) is built using Manila or is it a WM version of HTC sense ?
I used it a few hours and was very nice
Yep
That would be also cool if htc would make a plugin system for manila (on futur htc sense) like on WM6.5 main interface to make it easy to develop new tabs (I want a twitter tab )

it won't take long until my blackstone is found on ebay... i think i was just waiting for the "reason"... and here it is! amazing, amazing software. i feel pity of the current windows mobile when i look at iphone and android's OS... ah! not to mention the marvelous Palm Pre.
i thought it is for android? HTC Hero is an android rite?

i second that and i thought i read somewhere that it is coming to WM as well so keep fingers crossed
It's pretty much just a reshuffled Touch Flo with more fancy effects, I won't say no when it's availiable but nor am I going to desperate to get my hands on it.
Samsung Jet will play flash pages
Nokia N97 will play flash pages
Windows cannot dissappointed to find out after getting the first PPC

hey, just ordered a blackstone a few days ago... and saw HTC sense today. I just want it! what do you think, will HTC sense be available for the blackstone too?
just read the posts above, maybe it will be available, maybe there will be a new WM touchflo version... in your opinion, should I leave my order, buy a blackstone and hope for HTC sense made available for it, or should I wait for more HTC sense devices like the hero?
a really really hard decision!
thx!
This is another reason why we need Android on the HD. HTC Sense is so much more fluid and finger friendly.
absolutely. this is a MUST HAVE. can't imagine better then HD with sense...
LOL - Talk about wishful thinking.
HTC no longer support the Touch HD, theres no way you're going to see such an update for it.
would be interesting where you've read/heard/got that info? I just read an article, John Wang: "HTC Sense will be available for Android AND Windows Mobile devices in the near future." (tecchannel.de, in german)

There aren't any Android ports for the TP2 with Sense, that I know of.
Casually searching around (the Search function really works great!!!!) there is a Desire theme for Windows Mobile, but it requires the pay app Wisbar Advance Desktop:

Sense for Android powered HTC devices,as of now is not easily,if at all,available for us Touch Pro 2 owners who sometimes run Android 2.2 on our T.Pro 2s instead of windows mobile.Ive tried & HTC Sense i think will only work with the Snapdragon Processors,but i dont hav a device with a Snapdragon processor so i dont really know.I might wait for the 1.5 Ghz processor HTC will hav in some devices in the future.Because really, my T.Pro 2 is definetly the most useful,customizable,versatile device that can run any version of windows,old & new,Android,and i do all that with my T.Pro 2 that i flashed for use on Crickets Mobile network,& everything works great & Cricket doesnt even hav or sell any windows devices.So im extremely impressed with all the hard work evryones put into the developement of the Touch Pro 2.Such as roms,xdandroid,cht,maxsense,cool apps,etc,etc,etc,,,Thanks again evryone who helped.SORRY for straying off topic so much.Dont want u to think im tryin to hijack ur thread.Just greatly impressed with xdandroid developement for my T.Pro 2.Thanks,& if there is a way to get the Sense flipclock is what i want.
search for beautiful widget either in the android market place or online and you'll find that that clock looks almost identical to the sense flip clock... this is of course just for android NOT windows
