Yesterday i downloaded a Manilla 2D in .cab file. I copied to my phone, install and i have on my screen "Tap here to launch TouchFLO", i take it but it dont work. Can anyone tell me wtf? Plz help
Gonna need a little more info than that, chief.
For instance:
Are you running WM5, or WM6?
Which release of M2D did you try to install?
Do you have HTC Home installed?
Did you RTFA?
...and lastly, try posting your problem in the thread for that application, not in a board three clicks away from it, where the guy that cooked it might never see your questions.

Dude which version of touchflo 2D did you download ? Downloading a single cab install for the Wizard is crazy. Download the 18 Release and make sure you install the Shared DLL's and the HTC Patch for older devices BEFORE installing the manilla cab. The easier alternative is to backup your device and flash a Manilla 2D rom found in the Wizard Mobile 6 Forum

Are you ABSOLUTELY sure you didn't change M2D panel settings, turn on a new panel, or otherwise run a program like M2DC that would create registry entry changes? Did you accidentally enable something other than Manila in the Today settings? Also, check to see if you have enough free memory to actually run it. Lots of people miss the fact that you need to clear out temp files occasionally, and WM5/6 does a terrible job of it. Use ClearTemp if you appear to be running out of memory. Also, make sure that programs you open are actually getting closed. Filling up RAM with running programs (especially those that run on startup, like battery minders, lock programs, script programs, etc.) could also prevent M2D from running.
Hi guys,
Ive downloaded Touch-ITs very good touch flo and so started to download other programs. So far ive done the keyboard and that works a treat.
Problem is ive downloaded the mp3 trimmer and social network engine installed them but cant find them anywhere...how do i access them? can these be used as tabs on the touchflo screen as i really like the interface?

mp3trimmer already comes WITH itje's rom. no need to install it again. which "social network engine" are you talking about?
you'll find all programs if you click "start" (upper left) and then "all programs" (lower left).
I used this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442154 to get the cabs and installed them. Cant find the option to trim MP3s at all. and i downloaded the Touch-It Blackstone Social Network engine. Any ideas?
Im hoping that by downloading the engine that the social networking sites would pop up under the internet tab where youtube is...you know where i mean?
oh, my mistake. you installed the cab and not his rom with manila cooked in...
okay, i'm sorry, but i never used stock rom with manila-cab. but i can tell you this:
- manila works best if cooked in, use a custom rom (i.e. itje's touch-it v.10. but there are many good roms, have a look in the rom-developing-part)
- the cab you used is from november 2008, there's a newer version out now
- "social engine": never saw it in the internet tab, it connects your contacts with a corresponding facebook-friend.
so, bottom line:
programs should show where i told you above, even in the cab i think. and: manila as a cab is slow, cooked-in it flies these days.

I am LOST, however up for installing whatever makes it run that little bit smoother! I like the look of manila i am using now but if there is an upto date one then i can give that a go.
I havent found the ROM you suggested but will keep looking, the first thread i came across (the main one) seems to have the download links removed, any ideas?
Thanks so far mate, youve been a star
Ahhhh think i have found the ROM now just waiting for the file to download now for the installation...

typing this from my mobile, so to keep it short:
- you need to apply "hard-spl" first to flash a custom rom (it's a sticky)
- if you're flashing itje's v.10.2, be aware that there is a bug for some people with sending sms. i NEVER had it though. also you'll need to apply 2 or 3 fixes.
- READ READ READ!
if you're going to flash ANY custom rom you'll have to learn a lot. "just install and everything's perfect" won't work. and everytime you flash a new rom you'll loose all data on your phone, so make backup first!!!
if you're willing to get into this - do it. it's worth it and it will really improve your x1. if you want to have everything working out of the box with many restrictions - apple makes such a device...
Ill let you know how i get on, im just loading 10.2 now so we shall see

have fun then.
hope you did a backup of your data - if not, don't come yelling if it's all gone...
edit: the fixes needed
since the thread on v10 is pretty much to read (it started as v7...), for starters the 3 fixes needed with this version.
- Advanced Network (found in itje's first post, under the dl-link for the rom itself)
- "v10.2_corrected_highlights.zip" (also posted by itje, somewhere in the thread, search for it)
extract the files in these two zips to your \windows-directory (on your x1) with total commander (comes with the rom)
- v10.2_smaberg_1_percent_battery.cab (install normally. this fixes a bug that the battery-meter always shows 100% full. alternatively you could install another icon-set from this forum. watch out if they're for WinMob 6.1 or 6.5 though!)
the cooked-in build of opera mobile 9.5 doesn't work with the hardware-keyboard of xperia. either install build 16194 (iit's from an official x1-rom) or try opera mobile 9.7 beta.
every other question you should ask in the thread of the rom you've chosen.
this should set you up, from here on it's all tweaking, lots of reading, learning and adding apps to your likeness.
i have a problem like this one: i installed the touch it manila cab and then i installed the touch it htc album but... i cannot find the program... what do i have to do?
EDIT: ok i found two exe files in the windows folder wich are : HTCAlbum.exe and AlbumSearch.exe, and when i run each of them i have HTC Album... btw the problem is that i have no text in the menus... what may be the problem?
Thanks for all the advice guys...im installed and up and running and so far so good, no issues at all, the sms seems to be working fine etc.
Ill apply the fixes as noted so far as and when i come across the issues!
Cheers again all

I just got the TP2 for USCC last week. (WM6.5) I haven't used WM in about 2 years and am pretty dissapointed to find a lot of the same issues that were present then. I used to be a fairly competent WM user with above average knowledge in registry editing, ROM flashing, etc but most of what I used to use seems to have changed. So far I have found the fixes for the sms sent notification and the organization of the contact list by last name, first to first, last.
I've been all over these forums and cannot find a fix to disable the onscreen keyboard from auto-popping...ever. Also, in the sound settings menu, there is a slider to adjust ringer volume and another to adjust system volume yet these two don't work independently. I want system volume loud for hearing things like my IM app that runs in the background yet have the ringer volume lower as it's over bearing on full.
Something else I have noticed is that some settings menus appear to be there but not functioning. For instance, under settings>all settings>today there is a 2nd tab for items that does not change from the appearance tab. I've notice several menu's like this throughout the phone. It seems like there are things that other versions of WM may have had that this doesn't or simply that Microsoft/HTC got lazy in the initial release and either did not remove tabs that were not intended to be there or forgot to finish some that should. Just wondering if anyone has some insight into this.
I'm also looking for a good free IM client. I've seen many apps across these forums but with so many out there, it's hard to find the right one for me. I refuse to pay $45 for Agile messenger (although I've seen hacked versions but I would prefer not to deal with that). It's a decent app, not great but decent but $45 for a very simple app is outrageous. So, I found Slick ( http://slick.en.softonic.com/windowsmobile ) which is a free app and works great! The only feature it is missing that I liked about Agile is a notification (similar to the annoying sms message sent notification that I removed) while the app is in standby. Does anyone know of another free IM app that is simple and has that feature? I only use Google Talk and have noticed some apps specifically for that but there are so many to try, I'm hoping someone has a good recommendation to save me some time.
The last thing I'm curious about pertains to Manila. I see Manila all over these forums. I've done some reading on it and have a good understanding of what manila is. But, it's very confusing as some thread talk about reflashing ROMS for it and others talk about installing cabs over your current rom for it. Does anyone have a link to a good thread(s) that will explain things more clearly so I can make an educated decision on the best way to try this out? A, Manila for Dummies, if you will.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Edit: It looks like the "Manila" Touch Flo design is incorporated in WM 6.5 on my device already? Is this mainly the custom tabs located at the bottom of the today screen?

First of all, TF3D/TouchFlo3d, Manila, or Sense are essentially the same thing. It's a skin designed by HTC to cover up WinMo. You may say it's actualy just a very elaborate Today screen plugin. Since it takes up the whole screen, you would not be able to add other items.

See above for a crude definition. There are many versions, so that's why there's so much discussion in these forums about them. People are trying to use versions that didn't come stock with their devices.
TF2D or Manila 2D - for budget devices like the Touch Vivo, Touch Cruise, etc
TF3D v1 - originally came on the Touch Diamond and Touch Pro
TF3D v2- came with the Touch Diamond 2 and our Touch Pro2.
TF3D v2.1 - came with the release of the official WinMo 6.5 ROM for the Touch Diamond2 and our Touch Pro2. Identifiable with the weather under the clock in the Home tab.
TF3D v2.5 - came with the release of the Touch HD2. Has customizable shortcuts on the Home tab, revamped People tab, coverflow-like Pictures tab and Music tab when in landscape, and other goodies.
Btw, going forward, you may want to list out what you're asking in bullet point form. Most people are put off by long essay-like posts. You'll get more responses if your post is clear and short.

That actually clears it up quite a bit. So it appears that my CDMA TP2 with USCC is actually 2.1 or 2.5? I see you stated our TP2 is is 2.1 but your description of 2.5 seems to fit my phone. Either way, it looks like I can just addon on any Manila Cabs that customize the home screen more as Manila is already installed?

Where else are there menu options that doesn't look like they belong? Anyway, if there are, then it's because of Microsoft and not HTC. We're on WinMo is on version 6.5 now, but it really hasn't changed much since I first used a pocket PC back in 2000.

Certainly, there are components that are possible to install via cabs. But often, you'll need to flash a ROM with the particular build of Manila that you want to get those features.
So just to clear this up, if something is made for TF3D v2, it should (or might) work with our CDMA TP2 running the stock @M6.5 rom?
Also, anyone have a fix for the keyboard thing? I remembered the name of the cab i used to use, null keyboard but can't find anything that works with this rom. I've tried a few reg edits that have not worked.

It should, yes. However, if you have a TP2 with WM 6.5 you most likely have Manila 2.1 (in my case 2.1.191937). If you go to the Settings tab and scroll down, you should be able to see which version you have. That being said, many cabs work on all versions, a good few has to have a more specific version (like 2.0, 2.1 or 2.5) and a mere handful needs to be spot on (e.g. 2.1.1717).
After installing such a CAB you often need to restart your TF3D/Manila/Sense, and to do so you go to Start > Settings > Today and tick off HTC Sense. Tap OK and go back in to tick the HTC Sense box again. That restarts your TF3D.
Hope that made sense.
Thx for the clarification, I think I'm ready to start customizing this thing! I'm a bit hesitant as I really like alot of the features that come with the stock home screen. My last windows device was the 8125 and I modded the **** out of that home screen but this one I simply want to add a few highlights without loosing the over all look.
One thing I have been curious about is if there is a way to put a google search bar under the calendar. I know Google apps will put one up but then I have to go to my programs tab and open google apps so I might as well just eliminate a step and open opera.
I haven't checked to be honest with you, but I am satisfied with moving the internet tab a few notches closer to the home screen tab. I find that to be quick and easy enough! One tab on the tab and the google search is at the top of the screen.
Thanks for all the help! You gave me the tools I needed to dive back in. I understand the differences in Manila's now as I've flashed about 5 or 6 different roms. 2.5 is slick in theory, especially when Dusk Evolution v2.0 is theme is added but I had to return to 2.1. Thanks again for the help to get me started.
Im client look at PalRingo.. it's pretty awesome and covers most major networks (yahoo, MSN, gmail, facebook chat, icq others.
Yes, that's what I currently use. Kind of an old thread now too. I've come a long way since I started this thread.
Hi, guys & gals,
I am now an HTC HD2 owner. Before that, I had an Eten X800 (I prefer pocket pcs with GPS). What I noticed with Windows Mobile was that the "x" button does not really close the applications. If you check the "Task Manager" you will find many applications hanging in there (not closed) - which occupies space in RAM.
With Eten X800, I was able to install this application called "WkTask" (similar to Magic Button but better) that solved the issue. However, this application is not working on HTC HD2.
I was wondering if anyone uses a similar application that works with HTC HD2 or, if there are some tweaks to make applications/programs to exit (close) for good.
Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
take a look at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=584415
try it...
here's the right cab for your needs... thx to smaberg & tboy2000.
Or look at the *Leo Hints & Tips* , tip 7.
Once installed the normal setting is closing all programs by holding X.
Also possibility to modify and close programs with touching X.
Thank you, the1predator! I'll surely do!
Thank you, all!
I purchased a WinMo 6.5 prof based HTC Touch2 T3333 and I'm facing quite a few performance problems.
TouchFlo takes a lot of time to load when the phone starts, any way to reduce it? Scrolling is VERY sluggish, again I have no idea why. The Microsoft Tag application I downloaded hangs the phone every time I use it.
Also, I "bought" the Bing app from the web interface of WinMo Marketplace, the app isn't showing up on the phone's Marketplace app.
It seems that the ROM that is on the phone might be buggy, is there a 6.5.3 build available for the T3333 and if not any stable build that isn't throwing random tantrums that you can point me to?
Thank you
Since there is no HSPL available you cannot install custome Rom...and HTC did not release an update yet....
You could consider a hard reset......after backing-up all data and programs!!!
Although after a soft reset .....touchflow is sometimes indeed slow.....but never more than say 15-30 seconds to start-up.....
thanks for the reply. can i install htc sense?
Not possible for the moment......
Look also here...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=628064
Keep following the forums.....perhaps something will move in future....
damn. I'm feeling disappointed since there is nothing I can do about the buggy-ness of the OS. thank you for the replies though
Hard reset......but back-upfirst....!!
Did that no change.
Ok, last resort of help is HTC service, call them with your problem and when approved they pick up your phone, hopefully fix and return.......had to do that ones aswell......
Succes

If You want, You can try something else: Install SPB Mobile Shell 3 and disable Touch Flo from the item list of the Today menu - much better and quicker (in my opinion)!
my TouchFlo is loading as much as 10 second i think ... and i it is quite fast ... have u tried tweaking it ? Diamond Tweak , Advanced configuration tools , SKTools ... there are many settings about the touchflo etc like how much force u have to use to slide ... and many many more i'm sure u can speed it up !
