Can Manila be installed from a cab?

and what is the difference between 2d and 3d manila?
L26 had a rom called Throttle Launcher. It seems alot like the Manila but it was able to be customized ALOT. I'd like a LITTLE more modification ability. Like, adding to the internet tab, changing the default analog clock to something like Pocket Digital Clock, getting rid of the envelops on the Email and Messaging Tab.
Plain Rom Question:
What ROM is the most PLAIN broken down copy of win mo 6.1?
at&t? htc? Like NOTHING!! except the OS.. I'll install my own cabs.
User Customize question:
do the cabs have to be on top most folder level or can they be in a sub folder called "root"?

you can install from cabs you need to look that up it is everywhere.
roms stripped to the core are usually called lite roms or ultra lite roms.
throttle launcher was a program used to emulate 3d with is the real version that 2d was derived from (it was used before porting manilla 2d to other htc phone and now more than just htc phones)
throttle is really heavy and slow.
manilla can be customized. again look it up.
you will need manilla 2d if you have a kaiser.

Take a stripped ROM and have plain Manilla 2d without Throttle so you may have some better performance.

This is for manilla: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=398173
and this is for akdonny's supa-clean ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=410601
Allways the latest OS Build and no apps, not even the camera. If u go for it, have a look at my setup for setting it up, especially if u have a Kaiser not a Tilt.

Have any of you completely ditched Touch Flo in favor of any other software?

I totally love touch flo but I am not sold that it is anything but eye candy and that other software overlays for WM6.1 might be better.
I was curious if there are people out there who have jettisoned touchflo in favor of something else, and what is that else?
Thanks for your opinions, input and software suggestions.

i go back and forth between wad and manilla

I googled WAD and was soured by what Google thinks I was referencing. )
What are you referencing? Manilla is TouchFlo right, but where does hte manilla come from? What is WAD?

WAD is Wisbar Advance Desktop, here you go:
http://www.lakeridgesoftware.com/products/pocketpc/WisBarAdvanceDesktop/
There are a lot of nice skins for WAD.

ufufu got it for you
yes manilla is "touch flo"
manilla comes from htc but has been reverse engineered by some developers on xda.

i added wad to pda V10 and cant get it to work.. i disabled tf in today but wad still wont display weather etc..
its just a black screen
i really like the look of what wad is supposed to be..
any help is greatly appreciated
thanx

i see it the same way.. Manila2D/TF3D is good only for having your PDA look cool. it's not as useful as a PDA could get.
I set my UltimateLaunch to be as useful as i could using FEWidgets/Makecall (for speed dialing)/Rumball's weather/some internet icons and a networking plugin... and so forth.
..

How do you feel wisbar advanced desktop comapres to SPB pocket plus, do you have any experience?
Glad to hear I am not alone with tf3d not being the ultimate in work horses, I will look into ultimate launch.

by blank screen does it actually look like a blank screen, or does it look like there is nothing on your today screen. wisbar has to be completely designed by hand, or you have to download a theme file.
go here for a theme and tutorial i have put together.......

I have the same question and thoughts - perhaps WAD or SPB mobile shell would be a better fit b/c of the greater potential for customization. Can anyone comment on the memory usage / responsiveness between tf2d and WAD or tf2d and SPB mobile shell?

the opposite here. i used to have ultimateLaunch, but when Manila (TF3D) was born, ditched UL and now I am a happy manila user... love the changing themes every now and then, and everything else that comes with it, e.g. great graphics (rain animation is nice) and the close to no maintenance. manila is a little less flexibile the UL, but, pros overcome cons, for me at least.

[SOLVED] Best Kinetic Scrolling app?

Hello all,
I'm recently returning to touch screen WM devices after having a 6.1 smartphone for a few months.
I can't live without finger scrolling so i must ask, which is the best add on for finger scrolling? I used to use ftouchflo, it was ok, but it wasn't kinetic. Then i upgraded to ftouchsl, but it was quite buggy.
Now I see the touch diamond and touch pro/fuze as well as the lg incite with nice, built in kinetic scrolling. Is there any way to port such an add on to the Tilt? (The phone i'm using) or are there any good alternatives?
Thanks!

does anyone have any input on this or is this sub forum just dead?
I've tried all different types of add ons and i'm really just looking for some users' opinions.

it's christmas lol wait and see what people say later on today

I don't think there's anything better to use than the FtouchSL...

use HTC Touchflo instead of ftouchflo, or ftouchsl,. it have so many option anyway,.

I beleive that if you install TF2D found on the development and hacking forum it will include HTC Touchflo, which works great as far as I am concerned.

htc touchflo is far more superior than ftouchflo or ftouchfloSL. I have tried both on my Polaris. The kinetic scrilling in HTC is very good.

You have a HTC Tilt yes? If so, is touch scrolling enabled? (Settings->System->TouchFlo, if that doesn't exist, I suggest you flash a cooked ROM, most of which contain TouchFlo built in).

The only and big advantage ftouchflo/ftouchsl has over HTC touchflo is that it is cofigurable. while using the handwritten notes (I use PhatPad) the touch scrolling can be switched off while using ftouchSL/ftouchflo whereas it remains a pain in thw [email protected]# using it with HTC touchflo.

Thanks everyone. I had a hermes a couple months ago and when i put m2d on it, it didn't include touchflo for the whole system. Apparently it does now? I'll try an m2d rom on my tilt when it comes in a day or two and see what happens.

hmmm, perfect ROM...
I want WinMo6.5 with old gui,
much free RAM (20MB+),
with Chome editor, secondtoday, homescreen++, network wizard, HTC home plugin, MS office, HTC Audio Manager, HTC Album....,
without manilla

wm 6.5.X + manila 2d

wm 6.5.X + manila 2d

I want a Windows Mobile 6.1 ROM with the following:
1. MS Office, Internet Explorer, calculator, etc. (the stuff you kind of assume comes with Windows Mobile)
2. Touch scrolling (I don't know if that's normally part of 6.1 or not...)
3. Some kind of connection setup wizard with T-Mobile for the US as an option
4. The HTC task manager would also be nice, but optional
5. My primary language is English, so I would prefer an English ROM
So I pretty much just want a pretty clean WM6.1 ROM... I feel like something like this should exist, but I haven't really been satisfied by any ROM I have tried so far. Does anyone know of one like this that already exists?
EDIT (this is for a future post because I don't want to take this off topic more): Thanks LivArt; I hadn't tried his yet. The included programs he listed always looked further from clean than I was hoping for. I finally flashed it and it's pretty good.

exhno: cracings last 6.1

I want a WM6.5 New GUI. like Cracing's ROM without Manila 2D.

New GUI is good. Like manilla 2.5

What I want in a ROM
a) Stable. Most ROMs nowadays are stable, but I remember when they crashed a lot.
b) Enough free RAM to run programs, without having to reboot. I really like the latest CRACING rom, except that there are several programs that won't launch unless I've just rebooted.
c) Fast. For our poor Wizard, that usually means overclocking support. So build in TodayScreen++ or some other overclocker. And make it fast even without overclocking.
d) Finished. Don't give me dead links, like on the Internet panel of M2D. Don't leave out camera or MMS either. Naked is okay, but what is in the rom needs to be complete, and seem not like a work in progress.
e) Some things just work better when in a ROM, like M2D and Office. Put those in, whether I use them or not.
f) Anything that would run fine in Storage Card, or anything that is being actively developed so that new versions are coming out, keep those OUT of the rom.
Of the roms available on these forums, I like the following quite a bit.
This isn't ordered: I have a hard time picking a favorite. Don't believe my signature: I'm running RoryB's latest rom today.
S.V.I. / RoryB's Angel series: best 6.1 complete
CRACING's CR96 Touch HD series: best 6.5 complete
xda2_haseeb: some awesome 6.5 roms, looking forward to the New Year
md_bluelily's MSD series: best 6.5 naked
Any of the "alpha" roms by Ham3r: awesome 6.5 and best 6.1 naked rom.
In terms of home screens:
Chome is nice but a bit too minimal, and disables the old plugins.
M2D is beautiful and functional but takes too much ram, disables old plugins.
HTC Home is simple, good enough, works with plugins.
SPB 3.5 is best, fully functional, less ram than M2D, works with plugins.
But you can't put SPB in your rom (it's commercial).
So I'd vote for (in order) HTC Home, CHome, M2D.

Which OS?
I like it fingerfriendly so I would prefer WM6.5.x (with new style GUI).
Which TodayScreen?
M2D looks good but needs a lot of packages (and space) in the kitchen. It also eats up a way to much RAM. If you want other features with M2D you can not use additional today-plugins and last but not least our wizard has a slide-out keyboard and even the new M2D 2.0 has no real landscape-mode.
CHome does not need so much RAM, it has a landsacape-mode and there are already quit a lot of extra plugins. But you need special CHome-plugins and you cannot use normal today-plugins, it does not look good and the features and the controll are just to minimal.
HTC-Home is quit old but it works in landscape, needs only very little RAM and you can still run other today-plugins (like calendar+). It has no slide-effects but still is extremly fingerfriendly.
For me HTC Home (with calendar+) is still the best!
Which additional Software?
With HTC Home you don't need CHome Editor or M2DC. I don't even use HTC Home Config.
With WM6.5.x (without M2D) you also don't need extra touchflo stuff.
Important software:
- Total Commander
- WM5torage
- calendar+
- HTC Album (2.x works much better than 3.x!)
- a good text editor (more important than all the Office stuff)
- I would also add a Midlet-Manager like Esmertec Jbed
I also use TomTom and S2U2 but I would not include them in my ROM.
Last but not least I want a german ROM so I cooked my SKYNET ROM!

I pretty much agree, but I use Office for work stuff, believe it or not.
Oh, and I need a rom in English.

6.5 with new GUI
Try Bluelilly's or X2H's

WM6.5 'buttons' in manilla 2d?

I've been flicking through roms, and settled on a manilla 2D one. It's wm6.5, but it lacks the nice big 'start' and 'close' buttons on the bottom of the screen, instead they're being all default and sitting at the top. Is there any app or anything to change that? Also, I don't have the useful slider unlocker, is there an app for that?
Thanks!!

Thats nothing to do with Manila 2D, thats just a shell created by HTC to improve WM6.5's limited functions. It's the version of windows mobile, you'd need 6.5.3 or above for those buttons.

I know its not anything to do with Manilla, but I coulda sworn this rom was above 6.5.3. It's not a registry option or anything?

I dont think so mate, what rom is it?

Darkvisions 5.0 Manilla
