Manila 3d on Touch?

Hi folks,
i saw some threads in the development section for manila 2d (which really looks cool). I'm wondering if this works on my HTC Touch!? I'm also not sure if there is a cab install version available - or is a rom flash needed (don't want to do that again...)
has anybody already some experiance with manila 2d?
thanks for any information!

you'll notice that there's a thread a few posts down with the Title "touchFLO 2D on ELF" this is the same thing as Manila 2D. It's a simple cab install and works just fine.

Just try it you will love it.

Looks good, but it doesn't work as it should. On my Elfin Audio Mgr 2 doesn't start, system runs veeery slowly even after uninstalling TF2D (hard reset helps) and cable is causing system freeze :/

just tried it and it really looks cool! It works without any problems...
Sad thing is, that its not working together with any other today plugins...

Touchflow 3D
I also have some problems with this panel, after I installed it to my Xperia I have serious problems, it's look great but it's very slow and after open a few other panels my phone just block, I've to reset the Xperia and then I can go on, so I deside to uninstall it but now way it stay's, and after looking in my installed programms it is gone??? I can't uninstall it and I suppose that the only sollution could be a factory restore. I'ts a pitty it don't work like it should be cause I find it a great interface so if anyone could give us some advise they're welcome. I did install the second little program tf3d_panel but even that bring it to full speed and error free

Atharia,
Just as nobody has replied and I don't want you to be left in the dark
Have you checked anything in the blackstone forum? That would be a more appropriate place for you to be searching. I understand you may have search for HTC Touch, and that would probabaly be why you came here.
On the other hand though, I think you're phone may actually come with what had been ported to this phone - don't quote me on that but I am sure that it had touchflo as standard?

[3/12/08] HTC Touch HD TouchFLO 3D for VGA Devices (like Diamond or Raphael)!

Hey guys,
Even though I don't have a Diamond or Raphael, I decided to take a stab at this one, because I've seen many people requesting it.
So, without further ado, here is the download link for the dumped Manila from the HTC Touch HD:
http://www.4shared.com/file/74338802/4bedbf7a/MBarvian_Blackstone_Manila.html
And if it doesn't work, the link to the Touch Pro TouchFLO 3D:
http://www.4shared.com/file/74338804/a28e1a4f/MBarvian_Raphael_Manila.html
Please report back with your findings!

Hi my friend, i´d like to try this HD Manila but your links don´t work, can u please upload somewhere else?
Cheers

yes, like the ability to customize manila (change order of tabs, etc.), (should have) a smoother experience, and a whole new stock tab!

updated links, should work now

that's ok!
it is very easy to customize. I believe it's in the Settings tab that you can change the order (left to right) of the tabs by dragging and dropping. Also, you have a stocks tab on your Fuze?

Thanks.

touchflo3d

I'd like that answer too. Any perceived problems in just trying it anybody (assuming the device has hard SPL that is)?

Doesn't work
On my Athena (VGA, WM 6, original ROM) I tried the Blackstone TF3D, after install it went into a loop
1 - "Tap here to launch TouchFlo 3D"
2 - "Launching TouchFlo"
Then back to 1 again, after a few loops it froze
After complete uninstall of Blackstone, I tried the Diamond TF3D, all files copied but no setting, or program to launch, it also did not appear in Settings/Today/Items where it could be checked.
Was looking forward to giving some better feedback than this but neither TF3D runs at all.

does this issue affect all tabs?
I was aware of this, but thought it would not affect all tabs

touch flow 3d update cab file

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

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

Touch Flo v.3.0 available on HD?

Simple question.
I've read about the new features of the 3rd version of Touch Flo (on the upcoming HTC Touch Pro 2 and Diamond 2) and they are quite interesting.
I just wondered whether by any chance this new version could be installed on the HTC HD (once it's out of course)
Thx

Think the list is endless. Go to ROM's development forum and seach. I'm currently using Duttys 2.5 Xtreme, though Laurentius & Davideuck are just as commonly used

Go to the "Themes, Applications and Software" and you will found you cab's

excuse me for being a nub but what are the benefits of flashing vs cab install

nowhere to be seen

well... i always do my home work before posting, that is why i did ask question...i could not find any cab, and believe me i spent hours looking throughout our gigantic forum...
if u know location where such cab is hiding from my eyes please share it with us.

There is no "cab" install and there never will be.
This isn't just an application you install on your phone - it's a complete system overhaul, with new TF3D, with all new and / or updated system applications: phone, calendar, contacts, call history, calculator, browser etc.
Let me illustrate however the difference between the stock ROM and the custom cooked ROM's available here on XDA. It's like going from Skoda to latest Ferrari.
That means you'll get a lot of great looking stuff, many cool applications already included, everything will be as new as possible, you'll be running at MUCH faster speed, but you also have to accept that you'll "burn more gas" - battery life may take a small impact.
Is it worth it? Well, it's like you bought a new device, so - yes.

If you flash a ROM that already includes the new manila it will probably be alot smoother because the ROM will be optimized and tweaked for it! If you install it over the old Manila it probably won't give you the best experience... Also, the newer ROMs not only include the new Manila, but also things like finger-friendly menus!

really is that true???

I'm pretty new to all this as well and had a lot of difficulty figuring it out! What I think happens is this: The ROM is a bit like the BIOS so you can't modify it within WM6.1. Also, the original ROMs are protected so you can't replace them with an unofficial version (they are signed).
To get around this, you can use something like Hard SPL (which overwrites the existing ROM) or USPL (which works around it).
I finally went with USPL2.5 and Dutty's extreme ROM v2.6.
Incidentally, I'm not really noticing much of a speed improvement... Especially with the music player which now takes a second to load up... Am I meant to?

How to use Manilla 2D?

Hi Guys,
My Post could be irritating for most of you guys. But I am very much new to this forum and WinMo.
I bought a new HTC Touch Viva 3 days back, which has Windows Mobile 6.1 version and TouchFlo 2D. Now I am trying to apply skins to the touchflo. With some research on web I cam to know that we need to use Manilla 2D to fulfill this.
But when I checked the Manilla thread in this forum, it has download link but it is redirecting to a different forum.
Some one please help me in downloading the manialla cab and if possible give the details of how to use it.
Thank you very much guys...

Use other shell instead.
Hey, buddy.
I think you should check out SPB Mobile Shell(Commercial), PoinUI Home 2(Free) or PoinUI Home 2 Pro(Commercial) instead. If you don't want to pay PoinUI Home 2 would be a perfect choice.
They are better than Manilla 2D in many ways. At least it doesn't require you to do any modification to use its in landscape mode. That save you from a lot of problems and times!
Sorry, I didn't answer about Manilla 2D. Just my opinion.
