I'm about to buy an Elfin this Sunday, and after some googling, I want to clear some things up.
1. What is Manilla2D?
2. Should I install Onyx as soon as I get my phone, or should I wait?
3. What's the difference between TouchFLO2D and TouchFLO3D?
4. Is it possible to 'install' TouchFLO3D to an HTC Touch P3452?

1. What is Manilla2D?
It is a theme which comes with most WM6.1 roms, search this section to get more skins http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=260&order=desc
2. Should I install Onyx as soon as I get my phone, or should I wait?
You should read first a lot, Onyx WM 6.5 doesn't have Manilla, WM 6.1 yes,and especially how to flash in the stickies here http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=374
3. What's the difference between TouchFLO2D and TouchFLO3D?
Elfin doesn't support TouchFLO3D
4. Is it possible to 'install' TouchFLO3D to an HTC Touch P3452?
Answer above
Enjoy Your Device
Manilla2D = the Diamond Style.
3D= The Cube, 3D Touch Style.
argh double post
Manilla2D is basically a downsized version of Manilla3D.
and by the way, if you are looking for the HTC touch cube, its not longer available at any other phones, except for the touch and the dual.
More info about Manilla2D avail here

@jeremy: Wait, from your link to google, I take that you mean mean Manilla2D is the same has TouchFLO2D. But tito12 says it's a 'theme'.
And does the HTC Touch P3452 have TouchFLO2D?
Manilla2D(M2D) is TouchFlo2D!
Nonono!
M2D has different themes for you to choose, and the themes is developed by our xda-developers community.
HTC Touch P3452 dafault handset does not have M2D, you have to upgrade to Windows Mobile 6.1 in order to enjoy M2D.
Here are a few pointers.
1) You choose to upgrade either to
- HTC Built ROM, which is their upgraded version
- Cooked Roms, which is made by people just like you and me, but they are usually more functional and practical. And Most people recommend cooked ROM as the HTC Built rom which is commonly known as stock roms, is underpowered and have too little applications. (And lags .. blabla )
One such cooked rom is Onyx and the one I am using.
Which can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=426540
Yeah I read about Onyx. I'll use the stock ROM for a couple of months, and then look towards Onyx.
This is what I've understood.
Elfin with WM 6.0, neither has TouchFLO2d, nor Manilla2D. If upgraded to WM 6.1, it will have Manilla2D, but it still wont have TouchFLO2D. To get TouchFLO 2D, we have to install a separate thing. And Elfin doesn't supportd TouchFlo3D.
Am I right? I'm confused because jeremy89632 says M2D has different themes available, and tito12 says M2D is a theme.
EDIT: Here, Is this the actual interface of an Elfin with WM6.1?
Hi Cyanide
I should have used "interface" instead of "theme", and this interface can be skinned, there are many on developpement and hacks section.
Okay, so Manilla2D is an interface that comes with WM6.1 for the Elfin? And,here, Is this the actual interface of an Elfin with WM6.1?
Yes, manilla2d is touchflo2d.
Okay thanks a lot for the help
This is slightly off topic, but I just want to ask all the Elfin/Elf users here, how do you guys like your phone? Would you recommend it?
EDIT: Also, I read another thread 'http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=531260' in which the guy's phone turned out to be fake. Since I'm buying a used one, what all should I check before purchasing it to ensure it's authentic HTC?
I'd just like to point out that I'm going to buy the phone tomorrow, so I need an answer for this (my last post) asap

Tips to get a legit HTC
Buy by walking in, not online.
Get from legit sellers, like big time corps.
See if the box have HTC logos and windows mobile logos around it.
Check for warrenty.
Thats all.
Im pretty happy with my elfin, except it lags GPS.
Umm, what do you mean 'lags GPS'?
HTC Touch Elfin and Elf does not have GPS.
Or known as the global positioning system which tells you where you are.
If you want to get a GPS for your elf, you must pay around SGD100 or around US$60 or even cheaper if you get from ebay.
I know it doesn't have GPS. You wrote it 'lags' GPS, so I was wondering what you meant. You probably meant it 'lacks' GPS.
Anyways thanks a lot you all, I finally bought it.
I'm avoiding making a new thread, so here goes.
How do I format the memory card? Will simply connecting the phone to the PC in data transfer mode and formatting it from there do? Or is there some special method?
Congratulations
Just insert it and start explorer to see that it is visible
Hi All,
I have HTC touch 2, I wann to know if I can use it as web Cam..Or there is some software which can help me to do so.
Waiting of any suggestions.
Hi Ripudaman, welcome to XDA!
First of, this forum is for the HTC touch (Elf), not the HTC Touch 2 (Mega).
But to the point, if you searched google with say... Windows Mobile as Webcam you may get some results...
I use Mobiola, it isnt freeware though.
Unless you know where to look. Can't possibly suggest anywhere though, forum rules
Hi all forum members,
I found this s/w XEND Touch Flo which actually changes the touch flo theme to a red color is exiting to see as am bored with the regular pre installed blue color.
I have HTC Touch P3452 (Elf 100) and am not able to install this.
Can anyone give me a link to download the correct file and the steps to be followed to install it in my elf.
Looking forward to hear from all of you.
I hope the developers can answer this to the best.
Also is there any other way or s/w which can be used in my elf to change the look and feel of my touch flow - I guess my touch flo is a 2D version and my elf has WM 6.1 with Qvga........
Joyjeet, our devices are 3 years old (dinosaurs in terms of smartphones) and touchflo has been removed from all cooked roms because of inefficiency and appetite for ram. All this to tell you there are very few ppl who actually know about touchflo

Tito - your information is nice but am not getting the answer to my question.
I want to know few things
First is how to use this xend red touch flo theme in my elf 100.
I want to know of how to upgrade my WM 6.1 to WM 6.5
I want to use the 3D version of touch flo or atleast a way to change the boring looking blue theme of touch flo present in my elf 100
I need changes
Hi
I can only answer to your 2nd question that is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=426540, imho these are the best ones. Read the faq and post your device info 1st.
Hi Everybody !
you all know how strange it might be some requests form your boss but this is the most strange one !
My Boss has a system that work on WM 6.5 only and doesn't work on WM 7 and he requested that I should Provide him with 40 New WM 6.5 devices !
you know that they are not available currently So I figured out that I should buy new WM 7 Devices and Flash it Back to WM 6.5 !
I think theoretically this is possible but have anyone tried it ?!!!
I want to Try it on HTC 7 pro Device , Could anyone tell me wha the steps I need to do that ?
any other suggested Devices ? I only want it to be New ,with QWERTY keypad and I can install WM 6.5 on it !
Thank you all in Advance.
Your only choice may be a new 6.5 device, and not much else. The HTC HD2 is still available, here in the UK, it is now the only 6.5 device stocked by Expansys on their web site.
How much longer will they be around? What's HTC's roadmap for the WinMo HD2?
Flashing 6.5 over a Phone 7 device, is asking for an expensive error.

I know that HD2 is the Only WM 6.5 device that still Availble but the problem is that HD2 Doesn't have a QWERTY keypad and the system required a lot of Typing.
Thank you for your support.

Hi XDA developers want to know if is possible Android in HTC Imagio? I read in the forum and other websites that this is possible, but the project was canceled, I wonder why the project canceled Android on HTC Imagio XDA Developers? I listened that you can use the rom HTC Blackstone or rom HTC Topaz to get an android for the were htc Imagio
can anyone help?
Yes, its possible but someone has to get it working.
I was working on the problem for a while but I just don't have the time anymore. We got the kernel booting but there was some issue with the mmc module that crashed us every time. It might work if someone figures out what was happening there.
Hints for developers: You need monodie settings for the kernel to boot. This is why the Topaz settings work while none others do.
waiting for your new pack
