Hey all,
I've been trying out a few ROMs with the latest TF3D 2.1 and 2.5. Surpurb software, unfortunately just a little memory intensive. There is some features that I really like on in 2.5 though - such as the new fav contacts.
I believe that the TF2D software on HTC Mega has some of these features, but in a less memory intensive form, and obviously in QVGA.
Does anyone know of any ROMs or cabs for installing this onto a VGA device, in particular my Diamond?
Cheers
Jamie

Anyone going to create a Manila Touchflo for the BA?
i think that is not so easy (impossible ?)
manila is just for vga (640x480) screen.
so it can´t be displayed on a blueangel´s qvga (320x240) screen.
manila need much graphic power.
the diamond use a special 3d graphic chip to render it.
i think manila required biotouch, too.
the blueangel display driver is not compatible with biotouch

We have the regular TouchFlo interface working for virtually every device (haven't tried it in my Wallaby ), which also uses BioTouch (afaik), so I don't think that would be a problem. As far as the qvga thing, look at this (from the Kaiser forums)

Apparently, there are a few guys in there that might be able to pull this one out.
The only thing that I will agree with you is the fact that we have a huge disadvantage hardware-wise (3D acceleration to be more precise), even when compared with the Kaiser... but don't let your hope down. Someone will come up with something. For instance, ThrottleLauncher 0.9.1 has it pretty close.
I still think that my BA has one more upgrade to go through before I can no longer upgrade(WM7, here I go)

Great link! Anyone have it working on the BA yet?
If not I will test this a little later and post my feedback here or there in the manila link
it works on my blueangel.
i get more than 3.5 frames.
controls doesn´t work yet.
just the home screen is usable.
Hello,
I would like to integrate a program on my touchFlo 3D today screen like photocontact pro (to manage profiles) or SPB traveler (or any other). Do you think it's possible to do so, as I did on my WM6 today screen?
Thanks a lot
HTC Diamond ROM 1.93
should be possible but theres like a million files in manilla
good luck trying to find the one u need
maybe when someone makes a very powerfull manilla editor
Not really... TF3D is an UI platform that resembles Flash greatly. Thus, no external application integration is possible (in current version).
These are the plugins i've managed to run on my ipaq , which were not intended to run on it:
All of them were downloaded from this forum, so many many thanks to the developers. For now i'll be providing feedback as i don't have paypal so can't donate anything else...
-Touch Flo (Manila) 2d
-Samsung Touch Wiz - with the limitations of the non WQVGA screen - cannot minimize the side bar.
-Fe Widgets - working very stable, axcept for the weather plugin - frameworks reports error. It's due to the ROM i'm using - the russian one with manila in it v1.6.
I think there won't be problems with the original hp rom.
Throttle launcher with touchflo 3d-ish interface - just installed it. Feedback later.
I'll be posting screenshots and detailed feedback later.
well. then?
I have used several ROMs with sense 2.5 for its quick link facility. I use lots of Medical tools with my HD. But as HD is well outside the capabilities for Sense 2.5 was designed. And I feel it is very slow for everyday use sometimes.
I have used Win 6.5 Titanium with SPB Mobile shell. There are many themes which simulate sense 2.5 with shortcut functionality. For example HTC PURE STYLE 3 from Mobilecustom.fr. There are even win Mobile 7 like skins from Proplus.
I feel some speed gain but not sure whether it is my mind due to bias.
Which combo is faster???? Post your experiences!
using additional application such as SPB Mobile Shell will slow down your HD because of additional RAM consumption. i think standard ROM (no addtional application installed when there're existing application which do the same function) will speed up your HD.
wrong section needs to go in general.
try NRGZ Standard Reference ROM - it's wm6.5+standard sense 2.5
then just install GFXBoost, and get BSB Tweaks and tick all of the graphics boosting boxes, and it should be quite zippy. but try different ROMs - different chefs focus on different things, some on features, others on speed. but there are definitely builds out there with speed.
personally, MS3.5.3 is way too laggy and the features, skins and themes aren't as elegant as Sense 2.5...there is always something not quite as good as sense.
for example - the calendar is not as flexible, smooth or as nice to use as the Sense 2.5 version.
Is there a way to implement quick links or shortcuts in Home page of manila 2.1?
black new
tries Black new V 2.5 Manilla fastest ROM that I had 38%
Winner is SPB Shell. Down load a rom without HTC Sense or manila. Test it by yourself. I got at least 100m RAM left after SPB Shell (70-80m with manila) .
You can also customize the short cuts for it (3 to 5 pages with 10 to 15 shortcuts for each page. It should be enough for your needs.
I have tried few ROMs up to now including Energy, Stonehedge, Kenia and KWBR. I always felt that SPB MS with WIN 6.5 is quite snappy and fast though I love the interface of Sense more.
I've been using Mobile Shell 3.5.5 lately with kwbr's WM6.5 and Manila 2.1 (no Sense) - very impressed. So impressed in fact, that I'm looking for a snappy WM6.1 ROM to use it on as I think this would cover everything I'm looking for!
You should try KWBR's titanium ROM with SPB MS. No point installing a ROM with manila unless you want to switch between two interfaces.
ok, this is useless thread number 23984723492...
As you can see from the responces, there are a lot of possible good and fast roms.
However you just need to try and see what you like best!
Some people say it is 'fast' when it is 'smooth' others sit by their rom with a stopwatch to determen if it's fast...
Oh, and this is not related to rom development, just to the HD so -> subforum general!
Hi can you tell me which is the fastest ROM for our HDs .Doesn't matter 6.1 or 6.5. I just want fast ROM with weather on the homescreen. Of course I prefer 6.5 with sense but I don't know does it fast as 6.1. If there is WinMo 6.1 with interface Sense 2.5 and it's fast like touch flo for example will be great.
Thank you!
this question has been asked and answered dozens of times.
the fastest rom is the stock rom wm6.1 with touchflo 3d 1.3
this touchflo version only has a weather tab, no weather on home screen. also not all sense 2.1 versions have home screen weather.
if there were such a thing as a perfect blackstone rom, no other chef could be bothered building own versions, the blackstone classically is a device on the line. it has a high display resolution, yet not the powerful processor, most new devices with that resolution have.
so, you have to pick, either speed OR a lot of features.
you can try cloudy 0.7 for instance. while on the one hand, it has not been updated in almost a year (also, as in most roms, the twitter tab does not work anymore). but it combines wm6.1 with sense 2.5 and it is relatively fast.
but if you are actually all about the speed of the rom, you might want to try a stock rom, and simply move the weather tab to the 2nd position, right next to the home screen. it isnt't too much work to swipe over the display once to check the weather. just think of iphone users, who with one swipe only just unlocked their phone and are hardly ready to access all kinds of information without launching 267 apps
Fast rom and ram
Chef_Tony,
First of all sorry for going off topic i just have a few questions
1. Does more free Ram makes a rom faster. i mean if a rom have 100 MB free ram on start is faster then a ROM having 60 mb free ram.
2. I dont use manila, sense, titanium or any today screen, just resco today items, i use to have xperia x1 b4 my hd n there was this rom by laurenti, which have 160mb free ram.( x1 have 32 less ram then HD) and on my hd its only 100 mb(blackstonehedge v6.5) with sense, manila turn off, only resco today items, is there any ultra light rom like laurentis for hd(6.5 or 6.5.x bottom start button, X button closes app.)
3. if is there isnt any rom( i have searched, but might have missed) , can you please cook such a rom.
PS.
was using - Build 23134 - Laurenti v2 (new AKU 5309). from this thread on my x1
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=676383
1. not necessarily. less ram usage extends your battery life and has more potential for running apps.
it does affect the speed, when the operating system, for the sake of the example, let's say wm6.5.5 with CHT 2.0, hogs all the ram and cpu power, trying to run a 3d game or watch hi-def video might get annoyingly slow.
but the general speed of the GUI cannot be read from ram or cpu usage alone. when picking a rom you should have a look, where certain packages come from. when a rom mostly consists of leo packages, you will see that it is quite slow, because the leo with 1ghz has much better resources. generally, packs from devices closer to the blackstone, like the rhodium, run slightly faster.
2. so much for the theory. if you don't use any of the built-in home screen extensions, you can pick practically any rom around here. either you go with wm6.1 for more speed, or you pick something newer for more finger-friendliness. in contrast to most other users, you don't need to choose your rom for the manila version. just have a look at the integrated apps, because that can really save you time, setting up the device.
3. there are several ultra-light roms:
- one would be a stock rom, it comes with almost no integrated apps and you'd only need to disable touchflo and you're good to go.
- there is also raving rom wm6.1, which comes without manila or sense, just a custom home screen and a very little ram footprint.
- in the energy roms thread, at the very bottom, you'll find a titanium rom, which is meant for users of own GUI solutions, like spb mobile shell or you resco home. but i wouldn't exactly call it ultra-light, because it comes with a lot of integrated apps.
p.s. despite my user name and avatar, i am not a rom chef, or any chef for that matter, it is just a parody of one of the most annoying persons in late night infomercials
so unfortunately i can't cook you a custom rom.
Thank you very much for a quick reply,
look like i black stonehendge is best option for me know, really appreciated your detailed answers.
thanks again
