** Mobilityflow is going to release a new product called Touch Shell 3D **

Mobilityflow is going to release the new product called Touch Shell 3D as a component of Touch Commander Suite 4.0 - for Pocket PC Phones. The new product will provide you with the features similar to those of SPB Shell and the famous TouchFLO 3D installed on HTC Touch Diamond.
Touch Shell 3D features:
- Visual effects similar to those of TouchFLO 3D on HTC Touch Diamond
- Can show any third-party Today Plugins at the separate page
- Touch Pop-up Menus, Task Manager
- Compatibility with the most devices running Windows Mobile 5/6 (200 MHz CPUs, QWGA)
This product appeared soon after the release of the famous TouchFLO 3D for HTC Touch Diamond. With Touch Shell 3D you will be able to experience the ease of use similar to that of TouchFLO 3D and IPhone. You will also be able to enjoy special visual effects which will give you the impression of a three-dimensional space.
I can't wait to see this.......... I guess the Beta will be coming soon.

any visual links ?
would love to see this in action

Doesn't seem to be anything special.
Very similar to UltimateLaunch or Throttle Launcher I guess, because the video only shows today plugins in tabs but not scrolling album artwork or contact photos like TouchFlo 3D does.

thats it ????
this is way behind throttle and ultimate laucher

Lame, but hey can't fault em for trying I guess.

The clock in SPB SHEll with diamond theme have no animation,,
THIS ONE have,,So i like it very much^^

I can't tell from this poorly shot video if it's way behind or not... I did catch a glimpse of the 3d when the clock changed time.

looks great. I like how you can still use the start menu and task manager unlike SBP and some others. Thanks! Im def buying one.

Looks like MusicFlo, doesn't it?

musicflo, funny noob. no its better and looks better, it has the animated clock and can handle plugins on each tab.
so lets wait a little, but it looks promising.

is that exactly what throttle launcher does with the new throuttleHTM for using flash diamondlike animation for the clock

nice software but won't HTC be angry of creating duplicate software of theirs popular 3dtouchflo?

This is out now. I like it a lot so far.

Four days forecast on weather tab ?

Is there a way to have 4 days forecast on the weather tab like on the HTC HD ? It would be great, current weather could be see through the windows and i don't like to use the left softkey
thanks
a picture to illustrate

I've the same problem

I guess we have to wait for an newer manila version...

Too lazy to press left softkey... Mankind is doomed.

Wouldn't it be as easy as grabbing the TF3D plug-in from the HTC HD and putting it on the Diamond ?

Sure. But without the HD ROM Dump - No Chance....

No, it's possible and we did it actually, but HD is widescreen, thus other-day forecasts are almost covered with tab-bar, so it needs modding anyway...

Would like this too, even the QVGA TF2D has it:

It's a shame this TF2D is only for QVGA device, it's quick, with all the tabs we need and must be lighter in memory than the 3D one...

I could imagine that HTC will add some of these features to a future rom update of the diamond and the pro...
If not, they suck

PointUI Home on Xperia!

Check this out!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TrTX-hL_qkw&eurl=http://www.pointui.com/
Looks nice!!!

Looks like it's still only optimised for VGA though, note the large gap at the bottom.

Nope, watch the video again, and note the use of the full screen.

So how do we get this or demo or trial it?

only one of the screens looks as if it has some gap at the bottom (others are filling the screen nicely). I'm guessing that even on that home/main screen, the gap is somewhere where you can add some quick access icons or something... or maybe not. It is still a work in progress, so let's hope for the best. (In my opinion, it looks way cooler than SPB)

Looks like it's just a Today plugin

it's activated via today plugin just like how touchflo3d is for the Touch series phone.
if there's a beta version of Home UI 2.0 available, I won't mind coding a panel for it. it's not very difficult after experimenting the nav panel.
btw, the UI works on WVGA but I don't think it's optimised. The home page has a chunk of white space wasted...

I think it looks really promising, can't wait to try it out... I found this on their website: "Accompanying the announcement was a demonstration of the user interface on the HTC Diamond, a customised build of Home 2." Does that mean that Telstra developed Touchflo 3D for HTC? I thought HTC made it themselves.

that demo on the HTC Diamond UI is not TouchFlo, but the PointUI interface customised for Telstra based on 1.51a platform

Looks sweet!
I wants me some of that!
If only Microslouch could make winmo look and work like that.

great work, can't wait to put my hands on it

Yes ok, but what about the phisical keybord???? Rotation screen will be supported? I really hope so... otherwise this ui doesn't make sense on xperia (as the tf3d imho)

he old version did (and still does it, even on my X1) this perfctly within 1-2 Seconds... So it's your guess what it will be like in the next version...

New manilla 2.5

Please check this images and video from new Manilla for HTC Firestone
http://wmpoweruser.com/?p=5321

Wow this is super!
Want it! On my diamond 1

I second this, want!

third that!

I will fourth that
But it looks pretty slow on that touch HD, so i think at the diamond it will be even worse?

Very useful!
Read that it's far from stable atm. I think that WVGA devices are the first to show Manila V2.5 before you'll see it on VGA devices like the Diamond.

I want it too!

Time to resize some of that

I hope HTC remembers us with vga displays.
I definitly like the looks of it.

wow! it's so nice. does exist somewhere?

this is ugly as hell. they placed 300 things in the manilla, and now it is getting complicating.
buttons and options all over the place!

I thought they stoped tf3d programming cause of sense....next generation of wm phones should use htc sense and not longer tf3d

I could hardly see WinMo which I don't know if it's a good thing or bad thing. Anyways, seeing this made me want to buy the diamond2 more.

any news about 2.5?

[Q] Manila 2.5....QVGA?

So lately I've been seing threads, pics and vid clips of "Touchflo 3d, 2.5", but I also hear its Manila 2.5, and from the looks of it, since it lacks, animations and such, it could be a newer version of Manila.
Can someone input on this? i know that 3D does'nt work (properly) on my ELFin for the 3D drivers and graphics are really supported, but I'd really now a more "finger friendly" system like this 2.5.

I wouldn't count on it...

the only 3d part i could really see is the clock which can be changed so its possible isnt it?

im pretty sure its not as simple as changing the clock... Im pretty sure touchflo 3d 2.5 is programed to work best on the phones its going to b released on.... such as utilizing the open GL drivers, GPU's, faster processors etc.... therefore clock or no clock we still need openGL, faster processors
i could be wrong as im not technically experienced with manila but im sure those are reasonable limitations as to why it wont appear on QVGA devices

Um...I'm pretty sure there is animation and this is like saying convert something from WVGA to VGA to QVGA. Just think. Even right now, Touch HD and rhodium manila is not even QVGA. I would say the percentage of making 2.5 qvga would be 5%. VGA would be about 50%

NRG claims to be working on this...
Considering how we barely have the TF3D2 that has been out for a few months working 100% I don't expect to see this for quite awhile.
Not because it would be hard to port but because it is VERY likely HTC hasn't even finished it yet!
That seems to be part of the problem with the TF3D2 we already have...
xbmod was kind of forced to finish it for them.
And if TF3D2 is any indication we are going to need to port a lot more than just the manila before we get a working version of 2.5

in regards to processing power. the video link posted on another thread shows it running on a firestone. if I'm not mistaken that device will have a 600mhz lump powering it so other devices may struggle. less maybe the omnIa with its big core but that'sanother resolution to port to again!!

Will the Manilla 2.5 work on Att Fuze ?

Fuze
I think it should work on the Fuze (unless OS is an issue) according to HTC the specs on the Fuze and the Touch Pro2 hardware are similar. I'm just waiting to get the touch pro2 when I can, regardless of the manila.

The new manila 2.5 is WVGA and so no, it will not work on the Fuze without being ported to VGA first.
I too have a Fuze as well as an HD. I'm sure it's easy enough to get working for the most part on the HD but the Fuze will be nearly impossible without porting first.
