So just got my Xperia the other day and am looking to make the jump to Touch Flo 3d. Looking on the forum here there's at least 6 different versions and I'm kinda confused on what the differences between these even are.
Can someone please clarify the difference between:
Touch Flo 3d 1
Touch Flo 3d 2
Touch Flo 3d HTC Blackstone
Manila
Manila Touch HD
Manila V2
I noticed that there's also a lot of confrontation between installing touch flo as a ROM or just running it on a panel from a CAB file. What are the advantages of either. If possible I'd prefer to keep the Xperia panels and just run Touch Flo in a panel.
Also while I'm at it since I don't think it's worth another thread, can I run the Windows Mobile 6.5 beta in a panel or do I have to install it and wipe out windows mobile 6.1?
I am quite sure that WM 6.5 needs to be installed instead of WM 6.1.
About the Touch flo's im in the same boat... i just would like the "best" version as a panel. So thank you for bringing this up
Windows mobile is the platform on which all your programs run, including the panel manager and touchflo.
There's currently two* versions of TF3D, TF3D 1 and TF3D 2. Manila == TF3D.
The best and newest at the moment is TF3D2, as stickied, it has landscape support, but it also has a few bugs, as it's a beta build. All in all, it works more that good enough.
Best thing I can recommend is flashing one of itje's ROMS, preferably the new 4.0, which has TF3D2. This way, you'll have TF3D as your homescreen, but also the panels.
* Not including different beta's.
Alright thanks a lot, looks like I'll be installing that Touch Flo 3d2 ROM then.
Quick question though. Even if I flash this I'm going to assume I'm not resetting windows mobile since the xperia interface and touch flo 3d are just "skins" for windows mobile, so I wouldn't have to reinput all my settings?
When you flash your ROM, everything will be erased.
If you however just want to install TF3D and keep everything, you will have to wait for daran_clarke to finish his TF3d .cab, which you just install on your phone just like any application.
i recommend running TF3D2 from a rom, because the responsiveness and speed is increased alot. i recommend itje's touch it landscape ver 1.1 rom, as this is the most stable and normal version, as opposed to ver 4 which is lets say... a bit different. if you are intersested i will provide the rapidlinks to this no longer available rom
Already installed itje's V4 and am extremely pleased since it hasn't crashed yet. However I tried going on youtube and the video is really choppy and out of sync with the audio, which used to not be the case. Tested it both on wifi and edge and the data speed makes no difference. Any ideas?

Itje's V4 is (although the filename doesn't tell you this) still in it's beta stages. Some problems will still occur, but Itje is working on it.
That's the reason flext recommended you 1.1.
Am I supposed to have to reinstall the radio, because my EDGE has stopped working altogether since installing Touch Flo 3d?

Nope, that seems to be an unrelated problem. I've never seen reports of EDGE failing after TF3D installation. If the problem persists, you might want to try a hard-reset (also removing TF3D again).

TouchFlo 3D 2 works in portrait and landscape mode [latest version]
TouchFlo 3D 1 has touch flo tabs but only in portrait mode
Manilla is the TouchFlo cube [it isnt touch flo 3d at all]
Manilla HD is the same as Touch Flo 1
Manilla V2, I think is Touch Flo 3D.....
Forgive me for the guessing...I don't use touch flo

I have been playing with TouchFlo on my opal and installed spb Mobile Shell. I like the Mobile Shell much more than touchflo. But since it is built into the ROM, it makes the phone slow.
Is there any really light-weight ROM available for Opal? Without TouchFlo and other stuff?
If not, may be I can try to develop myself. Can you guys help me with some links to understand how it is done?
Thanks in advance...
hey my friend
idk why you hate touch flo but its great lol
anyway here what you should do ...
just click start - setting - today - items .. and dont cheak the touch flo so the touch flo wont work and your pda wont be slow just in case restart your pda aftere stopping the touch flo and if you wanted back do the same steps and re-cheak the touch flo
thats all you have to do
havnt seen this one yet... but for u admins are u guys going to make an update to get the new tf3d like on the new touch pro 2 ?
didnt see this yet so am sorry if there is one out...
anyone there to make a new manila 3 cab???
i was looking for that also...i know that touch pro users can find a manila cab, but i could not find anyone making cab with manila 3 for touch hd... .
not everyone want or can install new rom to be able to use new manila....is there anyone who could prepare new manila 3 cab????
you'll find the new manila is useless without an updated rom, mate
you do not need an updated ROM for the porting of the Touch Pro. It runs on 19xxx version of Windows in fact. Some additional add-ons (like enhanced notifications and menus) don't work but those are not a part of TF3D itself.
cool thanks for the heads up mate
this thread has a beta version: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=493531

That's VGA not WVGA so it wont fit the screen on the Touch HD.
Cab for the new calendar?
Hi,
I have got a Touch HD and I am happy with it. The only thing that bothers me, is the Windows mobile calendar. I saw that on the new TFD 2.5 the calendar has improved significantly. Great optic and no WM even when adding an appointment! That is what I was waiting for!! I really want this calendar!! I never modified anything on my device as I am scared to screw up my Touch HD! Is there a possibility to get a cab with the new calendar on the "old" Touch HD TFD? My version should be the 1.3.353...
Please help me... Sorry if it is a impossible thing to ask...
Thanx!
Hi,
Same for me... meaning I'm a noob in this topic and I would like to understand a bit about TF3D because I have seen in several post that there are other versions (2.5....)
My HD has 1.3.35601.1_1630.38 version of TF3D.
Is there any interest for me to upgrade? I have not found a clear explanation of what the new versions are offering...

Your currently using manila 1.3. The latest manila versions have a better/smoother, more finger friendly interface with additional options & displays (i.e. weather displayed on home tab below clock to name one). Also manila 2.0+ has landscape enabled so you can view all tabs in landscape mode as well as portrait
Thanks,
So is there any way to easily update to 2.0? I'm not used to make modifications so I'm affraid to put the mess in my HD ...

I haven't seen a way yet on the HD to update to another version of manila without having to flash a new rom. Its possible on other devices to port to another manila, but as I said, I haven't seen this avilable yet on the HD
Ok, I use Topix all the time, so I am used to speed and smoothness. (Thanks KWBR!)
But I am trying some WM 6.5 roms with Manila 2.5 and they are all so frikkin slow! But when they sum up the features of the ROM in their start post, it says tweaked for perfomance, smoothness, etc.
But damn, they are all so slow...
EDIT: Have a look at this movie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qj6Y7XnC4I
It's on a touch pro 2, but much smoother! Same hardware no?
The video is for HTC Leo - 1Ghz CPU...

But is the device a leo then? I believe they only do a PREVIEW of the Leo's manila, but just on a touch pro 2?
The ROM looks like EnergyROM
yep, its flashed onto a Touch Pro 2. Somehow Diamond2 and Touch Pro 2 look more responsive in manila.
i have blackstone and tp2 both with nrgz leo from 23-09-09 and i personali think the tp2 is much faster and way more responsive dont know how this comes
maybe because of different motherboard ot other chipset
try Dutty's Leo R4 at htcpedia.com....it works great on the HD, only thing is it doesn't have twitter
When I tried Miri ROM with Manila 2.5 all were slow because Manila 2.5: now I'm using Manila 2.1.
Maybe I'll try Manila 2.5 when Official Version will be released with few bugs.
D'rath
currently using miri's latest rom and it is quite responsive but with some minor bugs!! but still a great rom..
what are the Energy ROMs like?? i havent tried them due to complains about battery life i think!!
Forget WM 6.5 on Touch HD
Pfff, last week I was bored on an hotel room and saw a lot of new ROMs from Dutty, Miri, PDAviet, Laurentius26... I had tried ROMs from them for Kaiser, so I gave them a chance.
No way man, all WM 6.5 ROMs are so slow and diffiicult to use... in most of them something fails, QuickGPS / Power properties / Twitter tab / Opera 9.7 text reflow...
I'm back to HTC stock ROM and that's speed, and everything works as expected. I suppose Touch HD 2 with a CPU twice as fast and new drivers, can handle Manilla 2.5 better, but for the moment, I do not see any advantage...
btw i think there is speedy m2.5 on blackstone
well im using nrgz ''leo'' series and i have to say i can use it for everyday
(but tp2 feels a little faster)
not everything works ok as it should like i cant get my location to work(but i can set it up manualy so i use that for the weather on homescreen
installes zenyees cab(really thankfull for this) to disable htc messaging
and further i use the speedtweaks from wvga tweak
for the so called battery problem i get two days by putting the light on automatic and normal use 5 or 6 message and a few phone calls and a litlle interneting
so eveything is fine for me with nrgroms
And I am back again to Topix 3.0
The only ROM series that impresses...

I tried Dutty's Leo R4 ROM and found it to be a little sluggish for me, so I went back to Stock ROM like yourself, but then I thought I'd try Dutty's v4.3 WM6.1 ROM with Manila v2.1 after reading some good reviews and I'm glad I did - it's much better than Stock in my opinion and I find it runs quicker in everything.
Plus I quite like the new Calendar tab in Manila v2.1
MOD EDIT
Move to General Discussion as not related to rom development
Tried Dutty and PDAViet's version of Manila 2.5 with 6.5 and found them to be way to slow for everyday use.
Now i'm with the Energy ROM one and it's a lot better, it's faster and more stable.
people .. ive flashed almost every rom out there .. if u really want manila 2.5 try mirri winmo 6.1 with manila2.5 its much faster then any winmo 6.5 rom, but i am back to stock rom witn spb mobile shell 3 installed believe me ppl its much better graphically and responsive then is manila 2.5
vcespon: pfff, speak for yourself dude.
I would never go back to a stock ROM.
Does anyone know where can I get TouchFLO 3D 2.6 for Diamond 2?
I think the closest you can get is 2.5.
where can I get TouchFlo3D 2.5?
I am using Diamond 2 with WM6.1, does it able to install touchflo3D 2.5?
Kindly advise. Thanks!
try the sunx rom manila 2.5 (!!!!!!!!!!) .. available for 6.1 and 6.5 ....
testet both and atm i think 6.1 is a bit better in speed and less bugs.. but that's just my opinion and its just a quick check^^ ....
...test it by your own ... wont be emberrasing
This is the Diamond forum, you're better off in the Diamond2 forum if you own that device.
That said 2.6 will never work with any MSM72xx devices according to conflipper. It is made for the HTC Quillin which uses a different chipset and thus a different GFX chipset.
And don't follow the suggestions of these guys, you'll probably brick your Diamond2 if you install a Diamond ROM on it.
jep sry overreaded the "2"
I have a htc diamond 1 and I would like to put the touchflo 3d manila 2.6 does this version agree has my phone ?

Hi all forum members,
I found this s/w XEND Touch Flo which actually changes the touch flo theme to a red color is exiting to see as am bored with the regular pre installed blue color.
I have HTC Touch P3452 (Elf 100) and am not able to install this.
Can anyone give me a link to download the correct file and the steps to be followed to install it in my elf.
Looking forward to hear from all of you.
I hope the developers can answer this to the best.
Also is there any other way or s/w which can be used in my elf to change the look and feel of my touch flow - I guess my touch flo is a 2D version and my elf has WM 6.1 with Qvga........
Joyjeet, our devices are 3 years old (dinosaurs in terms of smartphones) and touchflo has been removed from all cooked roms because of inefficiency and appetite for ram. All this to tell you there are very few ppl who actually know about touchflo
