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...

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?

Hello to all,
I took the plunge today and despite being very very tempted at getting myself an iphone 3g I decided to get myself a Touch HD. Been spending a few days reading about the Touch HD and it sounds great. Must say I love the look and feel of it, although it's a little on the wide side for my hand.
This is my first WinMo ever and I'm very lost at what to do. I like to tweak and around a mess with my windows installation on my pc, but I just don't know where to start with the Touch HD.
It may sound kind of stupid, but I decided that what's probably best for me is to start this thread (of course after having done a search to see that no other similar thread already exist) and to ask you guys to share some of the things that you first did to your Touch HD when you got it. ie. What are the first few things to do to improve/enhance the experience with the phone.
Thank you all in advance and looking forward to your replies.
PS. English isn't my first language so I apologize if I'm being unclear or if I'm being repetitive.
Grats on the purchase. Where did you buy it from?
That's some fine English for it not being your first language.
Hi, I'm in the same boat as you, although I've had my HD for a few days now. I'm just getting to grips with it, and am now at the point where I feel like I should play around with ROMs. Haven't a clue where to start though, but have had a good read of the wiki.
Good luck with it, and enjoy it.
Welcome to HD world !
Here is my list of applications: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3117017&highlight=secondtoday#post3117017
As a long-term PocketBreeze user (I assume you know about Today Plugins?) I found the restriction of TF3D to be irritating. If you don't know, TF3D will not allow any other today plugins to run.
But, SecondToday is great - this gives you a second today screen on which you can run any number of plugins.
Also, for me a big help, is AEB+ for mapping buttons.
I also have lots of tweaks to the TF3D setup - see the app list in the thread above.
Good luck and enjoy !
Take a look at the apps and themes forum.
That's a good place to start at...

Welcome.... here is my list of apps...

Got my Touch HD ~a week ago, my second Win Mo device.
First I would recommend installing a different rom, I went with Duttys 1.7 rom, my HD got a nice performance boost, the Wiki here explains how to do this.
After that I configured all the settings to my liking.
Installed all HTC Fixes.
Then I browsed the Themes and software forum for the blackstone, after awhile I have these installed on my HD:
- HD Tweak (a must have with the HD imo, customize the HD even further and access lots of other tweaks)
- Advanced Configuration Tool 3.2 (pretty much the same as above^)
- Diamond D3D driver (speed up the graphics for the HD)
- Diamond Saber (fun wnb-a-jedi lightsaber software)
- FInixNOverBatteryIcon (Replace the original battery icon with a color changing one and showing the load %)
- Gyrator 2 (rotate the screen when you rotate your HD)
- IPC Black Dialer (black phone application theme)
- IPC black Calculator (black calc theme)
- MyLostBlog MyStopWatch (great stopwatch software)
- Navigon 7 (GPS navigation)
- Tnyynt SD TuneUP (make the HD faster, can't remember how though )
- TouchResponse (vibrates the HD everytime you touch the screen, very useful)
- Weather Database Editor (add your own city to the weather tab)
+ some theme customization and such
Noticed also some great apps in other posts here, thanks for the tips
Wow this forum is certainly very active and helpful.
Thank you guys so much, I'm going to start working on my HD later tonight after I finish work (yeah it's a Sunday and I still have to work )
@ModernMuseum I'm from Lao PDR and I bought it here in Laos, though from the looks of it I think the phone is actually from Italy or something since the user manual is in Italian (or so it seems) and no English manual at all.
PS. any further comments/suggestions/sharing of experience are still welcome

Please can you give me the link for wiki on how to install duttys 1.7 rom? Will I lose everything that's installed on my HTC HD if I install a new rom?
Also, do you only ever install 1 rom at a time, or can you have more than one? Sorry if that's a really stupid question...
Thank you.

Yes you will lose all your data, only 1 rom can be installed at a time.
These should get you going:

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blackstone_Flash3
Check out the list of ROMs available if you want something other than Dutty's ROM . There are many to choose from. Also before you do any modifications, install HSPL or USPL if you want to do any ROM flashing, since you can flash as many times as you want, but not have more than one ROM on.
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
there are already tons of custom roms with this new tf3d

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?
Hello,
i just received my new Omnia 2, and when i was looking for custom Roms I couldn't find any. so i just went and updated the phone to a WM 6.5.
I have a number of questions:
1. Is there anyone currently working on a new Rom for the Omnia 2?
2. this is more of a comment, but i think the touchwiz 2.0 is lacking in terms of unity and wanted to know if anyone is working on a custom version?
3. i really hate that the call/ text notification when someone is calling/texting you is just the plain old WM. i want it to at least look like when the screen is off and it has this cool slide answer function or something other that the WM for that matter. ( that was not a question now was it?.....)
plz respond, I'm open to any suggestions. or hints for my Omnia 2.
Also, i'm really new to the whole changing to custom Roms and such, so i would really appreciate it if someone puts on a post on how to actually ge the Hard SPL(?) Rooting, ...... the whole 9 yards on this.
Thank you,
an addition to my post.
I would really appreciate any substitute for the touchwiz and other options for the omnia 2.
thank you.
disable touchwiz and get spb mobile shell 3.5.3

Actually i did try that as i saw in a video on youtube. but i couldn't find the options for it.
and I also noticed that the settings interface for my Omnia 2 is completely different for the one in the video.
is there other versions of the touchwiz or does it change from region to region? I bought mine from the middle east.
i was really shocked by this when i found out that it was different form the video. could anyone elaborate on this?
thanks
Their are several phones using the name Omnia
Omnia 8000, Omnia i920, Omnia lte, Omnia HD, and a few more.
The only thing similar is the name and manufacture.
They also vary by country and phone system.
SO....
What I'm trying to say is before you start flashing Rom's and what make sure the rom fits.

ROM = Operating OS. There are ROM's with WM6.1 and the latest WM6.5 (though latest but not new). Your phone will not operate without a ROM, just like your computer will not function without an Operating system.
Cooked ROM = A cooked ROM is a ROM that is modified by certain experts in the developers community. These cooked ROM have some applications removed, updated applications, a newer version of OS, etc. All these are done to suit the user, whether it is speed is king or the user prefers eye candy.
Energy ROM = It's a ROM made by NRGZ28. We have cookers like the famous Dutty, kwbr, Miri, etc...
I seriously encourage you to get used to your device first before you look into custom ROM's. Any slight mistake will leave you with a brick instead of a beautiful Touch HD.

It gives be better ideas!
But which type of COOKED ROM is more emphasize on Speed?
Because I don't actually like my current COOKED ROM / ROM
Btw, how to check whether it's COOKED ROM or ROM?
Another problem I'm currently facing is that
My TOUCH HD will auto connect to internet, sometime.
thanks!
ROM speed is actually up to user. For me personally, I go for kwbr and Dutty. Be sure to use the Manila 2.1 ROM so that your system doesn't slow down.
If you're using WM6.5, there is a setting in Connections called No Data. Toggle it to disable internet. If not, check your programs so they do not download data automatically.
