Hi,
HTC removed many of the original animations when switching between tabs because they slowed things down too much.
Here is a demonstration of them:

You can get them back by installing this early Diamond Manila:
http://rs229tl2.rapidshare.com/files/140844219/1523205/Diamond_manila_by_Swtos.cab
It works fine on my Touch Pro with tweaks installed, but it does slow things down a bit. I guess you need to decide whether having fancy animations is worth losing a bit of speed. Choice is yours!

I don't see any differences from mine
Move from one tab to another using sideways gestures...
Can this cab file be easily removed if need be?

The installation begins, it gets about 80% of the way and then I get the following error :
"Installation was unsuccessful. The program or setting cannot be installed because it does not have sufficient system permissions."
Same here.
I didn't try, but maybe you have to disable touch flo 3d before install this application..
Yep had to disable tf3d before installing. also installed it to my card but dont think that makes any odds. Uninstalled about 5 minutes later due to the incredible slowness..
Just realised this is my first post. Hello everybody *waves*
Where do I disable it?
go to start / settings then go into today, then the items tab and untick TouchFLO 3D and then OK it.
Animations are the same
This is not offering any improvement on the TP.
All options maintain the same.
If you even install this and you reinstall the old animations the stability of your phone will decrease.
In order to update my weather database for example.
After the update i'm not able to find any SQL database related to the cities to add any new city that is not installed as a standard.
*Touchflo will not have all similair settings from the original rom when this is/was installed.*
For example :
My gf has a diamond and i have tried to install the weather database editor and tried to change my registry similair to the one of the diamond but i'm not able to change it back as it was. * Before i installed the tweak, the tool worked !*
I'm going to hard reset my TP and will not install this again. Too bad though, because it looked like something useful on youtube eventhough that everything almost maintained the same, but this is not really handy the uninstall because it wasted more that I hoped for.
I haven't found any threads directly comparing the two... I'm tired of the boring today screen and even HTC Home. Which is better on the Wizard Manilla 2D or SPB Shell 2.1? I've tried Manilla and I really like it but it takes up a lot of resources and disables some apps I've come to rely on. (Battery Status, and Smartskey) I wanted to get some opinions before shelling (he he) out the greenbacks for SPB Shell.
What a stupid question!!!
Well don't I feel like an ass... Here you guys just got Manilla working on the Wizard and I'm asking which is better. I've seen threads for Manilla for a while now and never read any of them. I wasn't really interested in Manilla until I was browsing around and saw some of the skins. I thought I'd give it a try. Since I just went in last night and downloaded it and installed it with no problem, I assumed it has been working on Wizard for a while. In my defence I did search for a comparison but found none.
i vote foe manila
Iv tryed both and Manila is wey cooler and in new to wizard, bur SPB Shell its much much usfull so its your choice
i was a big spb mobile shell user when it 2+ first hit......I must admit...I now use Noonski's rom and I enjoy the device much much more...it's somehow made for our device where as mobile shell is universal plus with all the skins and clocks being rapidly designed and made available you can have whatever flavor you like....as with mobile shell....seems lately the designs are all just versions of the same concept...where m2d is fresh and to me faster as it is cooked into the rom...I had about 43 megs left on mine after flashing and right now I'm just trying to streamline and keep about half that while piling on the goodies I usually enjoy in my phone...using a 2g sd card I'm able to run much from there....unless mobile shell upgrades to 3 I'm going to say m2d wins

I had forgotten all about this question. Thanks for the answers. I'm back on the kick again and I was wondering if you still feel the same? I have tried M2D as a add on and cooked directly into the ROM. I have still yet to try SPB Mobile Shell. I may just get off the fence and do it. Worse thing could happen is I have to flash back to my HTC Home.

I tested twice solutions, it's my opinion:
M2D:
Positive
- Very excellent look
- Very fast, reponsive
- Switch window animated
- Several weather cities
- Most smart panel
Negative
- Memory leak
- Not stable (plugin reboots unexpectly)
- Memory used (+15Mb storage and +8Mb ram) with all apps needed
- Seems doen't work with S2U2
- Get pad action when using other programs
- Task switch to front automaticaly
- Landscape problems
- cannot show multiple calendar events
- poor weather city
- Must install all HTC programs (music player, pictures, ...)
SPB shell 2.1
Positive
- Less storage and ram memory (- 5Mb ram)
- Compatible S2U2
- Skinable (look of M2D, Xperia X1, WM7)
- Stable
- Cities for weather (Valenciennes is in the list)
Negative
- Less responsive
- M2D skin very slow
- Only one city for the weather
- S2U2 weather does not work
- Cannot have the standard windows taskbar and softkeys
- Today SPB plugin different with M2D today skin window.
- Strange organization of functions...
In conclusion, there is no perfect version, I reloaded Clean Rom and re-used standard WM today screen (battery status, calendar, time, messaging...)

1) Yes there is a bit of a memory leak but with tools like QuickMenu and Oxios Hibernate you can reclaim this
2) The issues with this plugin being unstable can be overlooked by the price tag
3) What taskmanager are you using ? M2D Built into wizflo weighs in at 5mb storage and 3.5 mb ram.
4) You dont need all the HTC Programs, use M2DC to disable the tabs you dont use
Great info guys. That is the kind of input I've been looking for. Thanks.

I have tried SPB Mobile Shell many times i made my custom made configuration and i think it works great, i have never had problems with it. I was wondering that it worked fast enough on HTC Wizard. No problems with cities in weather. It consumes a bit more of RAM and storage and it is necessary to install it in the device memory. Another bad thing about SPB mobile shell is that after installing it on the Wizard it booted very slowly after soft reset it took about 2 minutes until the device boot up. But anyway all these apps M2D, SPB Mobile Shell, TouchFLO etc are looking great but i do not like em. I like standard WM today screen with battery status, messages, today agenda, it is the only way to see all the necessary things on the today screen!
BEtter?
M2D is free..
spb yooou have to buy....
I am a believer of the bet things in life are free...
Hi,
I've been using my HTC Touch2 for a while now.
I decided to turn of the TouchFLO homescreen as it seems to use a lot of my free memory. I use a customized (used Home Screen Customizer - free from the marketplace) , default WM6.5 home screen now. It makes it faster ^^
The indicator raised from 45% to 70% in a day with all apps closed...
But TouchFLO also had a nice additional feature - all 'dropdown menu's ' or whatever you'd call it on a phone became way more touch friendly. (Those that open when holding your finger in file explorer for example, or when you click file in pocket word)
Is there a way to enable these menu's without enabling touchFLO?
I also prefer the HTC settings panels, that were only accessible from the TouchFLO home screen. I already found the sound settings (htcsoundsettings.exe) but I wonder if anyone knows more .exe files - for selecting backgrounds etc. Or a list of all files in the windows folder by default - it takes ages to load, when sorting is accidently set to 'File type' it takes like 15 minutes sometimes...
Also I'd like to add links to the settings menu of the start menu but so far I've only been able to add icons to the start menu or other subfolders and not the settings one
Thanks in advance,
JSO
Have you tried M2DCustomizer? If you mean saving up battery u might wana try custom roms
No, thank you for the link I'm sure it will help me.
But it didn't really help me out with my question - can I keep just the dropdown menu's without anabling TouchFLO/Manila2D from the Home Screen settings...

Hello, having read your message hope I understand well. You want a combination of features but foremost a lot of free Ram. Touch flow takes if I am correct 8-12Mb which your device should be able to handle.
This tweak will help you with Ram consumption aswell as regular soft reset or Ram cleaner.....several available on XDA.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\ResProxy\ShareMemS ize=0 (Increase free memory)
I agree with member Deepak that choosing a custom Rom offers best of both worlds. But also here you have to make the choice Touch flow or not.....having only parts is not possible (unless built in Rom).
Thanks all for your effort, but I think I finally found something:
/showthread.php?t=540922 (can't post link because my account is not approved )
This allows me to disable touchFLO while still using the nice menu's; downloading right now
Yeah, used this on my previous Rom (WM 6.1) aswell. Was not happy with the result since it did not work flawless.....dissappear after soft reset, not working with some programs etc.
But see if it works for you. Success.
At present I'm using trhe newest Energy ROM. Nice work.
I just wondered if there was any ROMs made for easy of visual use.
I'm a but long in the eye now and find using the phone sometimes a strain on my eyes. Age and all that
The Energy ROM is very good but I probably only use about 1/20th of the apps and stuff it loads. Some of the ones it installs I don't even know what they do
I would love to see a ROM made for vision clarity, bigger fonts and more simple but just as useful front screens.
Is there any of the cooks that can advise me on this ?
Thanks
maybe it's not a rom, but a software that you need, like point ui : http://www.wm6software.net/utilities/pointui_1_5.html
not the lame 2.0 which tries to do exactly the same as touchflo, spb etc, but the 1.5, which was very very eye and finger friendly, especially on small screens like the one on touchpro, with big icons, big texts, big lists etc..
so can I get a ROM with none of this HTC touch slide screen and Sense, maybe just a really basic front end.
well I've installed that app, started it and all I get is a blue blob start up screen than nothing happens.
Rom
If you are looking for a simple rom with a good user interface I usually go back to the basic Euro Touch pro rom. I then add a few apps by cab that I need but I also add SPB Mobile shell to it. Retains all the hardware funtionality. I of course turn off TF3D.
SPB can replace your start menu and for bigger fonts go to start\settings\system\screen and enable cleartype and adjust your font size.
When I install this rom I usually install the following apps for basic and a little advanced user functionality:
SPB Mobile shell 3.5 (UI) -Worth the money-
Advanced config 3.3 (changing pagepools and storage locations)
Total Commander 2.5 (self-explanatory)
GPSTest 1.04 (for GPS locking)
SKtools (easy tweaking and cleaning-latest version-I bought it at pocketgear.com)
Bing (directions, searching, Navigating etc.)
Lumos (latest version for backlight control)
Touch Response (latest version-simulated haptive feedback)
Microsoft MyPhone (Secondary sync)
Of course it is all based on taste. Just thought I would stick that out there for ya.
Font size is at its largest, isn't enough
I have to say out of whats on the phone with this energy ROM i think I only use 3 things, and one is now missing in the new ROM.
Phone
Wi-Fi Router
Notes and Tasks.
Google Maps
Facebook
SMS
Freecell
Mostly hooked up to my PC with MyMobile so I can use my big screen. never browse now as the screen is to small.
Just looked at thr Captains basic ROM

Why don't you try my Titanium ROM then ? It's pretty basic, IMO
Trouble I have is reading through all the threads on a ROM, theres just to much old rubbish per thread. I can't filter out whos going on about which version and which ROM is which.
Pruning should be compulsory
They get all wrapped up in tech speak and CHt HTc DDL ROM RAM NND GGH OOH, which doesn't mean a thing to me, or probably a lot of people
Ill try yours out now
What else would I need. I want the Wi-Fi and a few tools but none of the
ArkSwitch ( no idea what it is)
Backup Fav ( never use Fav to start with)
CHT ( turned that off straight away)
Shake and whatever ( why)
World Card ( Useles)
XDA UC ( no idea)
BINg
well you get the picture
There was a good simple task manager in the last ROM but its missing now
And I liked the page with all short-cuts to you most used apps. It looked like the iPhone, very handy to use.
TAEL roms are pretty good
OK I'm lost wheres the Energy Titanium please

TAEL, is that a ROM type or the maker of the ROM ?
Thanks
Rom
Yes TAEL is the chef of the rom.
I am currently using captains manilla 2.1 rom. Pretty basic uses the old TF3D type interface. but still has newer features. The only thing missing would be the facebook app. but that can be installed via cab. Seems to be simple enough yet has plenty of tools to get the job done. It has the simple HTC task manager as well.
Does Pointui.Home.1.5a.Wm5. work on it
Ahh I see it says WM5 I wonder if that why it doesn't work on mine.
Trying the Cpts one, systems font seems smaller and I can't seem to find any O2 UK set up cab anywhere
Font size???
It does enlarge through screen settings but I can try and find a magnifier that could swipe across the screen. Of course most of the chefs have knowledge enough to make a "handicapped" rom as microsoft sells it in windows. (Magnifier , speech etc.)
What would be good is an App like the iPhone one that turns the phone into a magnifier. I could deff use that when I was out to read labels and small stuff.
Using
TAELROM_v4.23569_STANDARD_21MAY10
Cpts one I couldn't get the O2 settings for.
i have found something that might help you http://handheld.softpedia.com/get/System-Utilities/Enhancements/WinMobile-Magnifier-27412.shtml
Well I gone and brought an iPhone, please don't shout , Only way I can see if it is suitable for me is hands on.
Probably wrong place to ask but anyone recommend a decent iPhone forum ?
Thanks

It takes up about 60-61mb i think
Been testing this afternoon, with ffboy's 21908 clean 6.5 rom i have about 58mb free ram, if i disable start menu i can get upto about 84mb free ram, not bad, messaging for sms works ok it seems, shame weather doesn't seem to work, perhaps thats to do with a missing commmanager, not sure yet.

wow! that seems like a nice amount. on ffboys 6.5 sense rom if i dusable startmenu, htc phone dialer + lockscreen, i can only get a maximum of 81mb at boot, with only 6 tabs enabled! the ram sounds very nice on this. any other bugs found?
This sense works SOO smooth and quick! I like it! A good option to not use a sense rom, but just a nice clean rom and then this on top! Left me ample of free space to use for my apps!
I have LOADS of apps installed on it, but I am using miROM4 (very stable and clean!) and I have 224MB worth of phone storage used up (out of 268MB) - and in terms of memory usage - 45MB still available after all my apps installed and this sense installed. I am looking forward to disabling start menu and will see how much difference it can make.
Does 45MB sound good guys? Especially after me having a lot of cabs installed already! My phone isn't freezing or hanging at all!
Following works perfect:
Flip Clock
Calender
Quicklinks
People tab
Messaging tab (with HTC)
Emails tab
Calender tab
Internet tab (adding bookmarks a bit slow, and can't see preview)
Photos tab
Stocks tab
Twitter tab
Audio tab
Settings tab
Following doesn't work:
Wireless controls don't work in settings
I need some free RAM I guess Any ideas how?
I tried to install Start menu replacement - and lost access to my storage card! I had to use hard reset, now I will update fresh free RAM with miROM4.
Results
Only 71MB free on a totally neat and clean miROM4!! Should I be disappointed? How come miROM cooks sense in his rom with other stuffs and gets away with 80+ free RAM!

hi drupad2drupad!
i will be honest with you... 45mb is soo little to play with. before i began using start menu disabler, i used to get 45mb too, which sounded nice. but now with the startmenu dosable + manilla dialer, and lock screen, im used to seeing 70mb plus all the time! the lowest it will drop to is 60mb. on boot it has about 80mb. which would you rather have... less ram for more eye candy(windows startmenu) or 10mb extra ram for a standard startmenu. same with the manilla phone dialer, and lock screwn. think about the 30-40mb extra RAM you can save. it can run so many more programs. aand potentialy give better battery life? i advise that you back up your device before installing the replacement. if you don't get it right, you may not be able to a get to any menu at all and have yo hard reset. make sure you have sense running before you install the cab. i willpost you some links when i am back on my pc.. (on my tg atm) but do asearch on the forum. BTW may be oftopic but if you use these tweaks with spb shell you get 90mb + RAM!!!! i use spb shell with mobilesense themethough , so i get 80-70mb RAM. but use miros 'trick' to try and stop the memory leak problem.
cheers!

Thanks a lot for your input Oly!
Here is what happened last night:
I am using miROM4 - Retroclassic type 6.5.x clean.
I add throttle launcher and played around with this amazing WM7 theme by fireslave - very smooth and close integration too - but battery drain was massive! Lost my battery in less than 3 hours!
I started looking in the forum to see if I can find a solution, and stumbled across another WM7 theme that was just uploaded by headhunter. Amazing theme, tried it, battery drain issue same, but more integration, din't like the tiles look - so disable it.
Removed both themes and throttle launcher completely.
Installed SPB Shell and tried Doc&Mskips Android themes- as much as the eye candy they are, they help explore SPB to max! Loved it, no battery issues, no ram issues. But since I ended up being a little perfectionist, I hated those lags in loading icons - spoilt the look of tg01 and theme! Everytime I swipe to next page and icons take few microseconds to load! :s (that is THE only feature I HATE about SPB!)
So removed SPB and themes completely.
Then came across this Sense. Installed it, played around. Made that feedback. It ran smooth even with such low memory, but then while adding facebook pictures to contacts, it took absolute ages and froze too!
Another bug I discovered was - messaging. Although I said it works, it doesn't completely! I found that when I tried replying messages from HTC client, it kept saying 'Sim error, switch on the phone!' However, my phone obviously was switched on and the issue I guess is with 'Wireless/comm manager' as mentioned before.
Issue with disabling start menu and replacing it : I used the cabs to replace start menu, but I think the sd card cab in first post is somehow related to winmo start menu. As soon as I disabled my start menu on this sense, I lost access to my sd card!! I removed the cab after this and SD card access was back :s
So removed sense too! hard reset my phone 3 times to make sure I have nothing left on it.
Now I am using basic, very basic windows phone with over 140mb clean ram. No UIs installed. It has 6.5.x start menu at bottom, on the home page I have SMS indicator and date with black wallpaper. I know it sounds so boring, but works FAAAAst! I will be bored with it soon but I was so fed up with memory issues, sms issues, UI lag issues and freezes, battery drains!
I am using my tg01 for occasional browsing, calls, texts since 11pm last night and my battery remaining is 90% !!

Thanks a lot for your input Oly!
Here is what happened last night:
I am using miROM4 - Retroclassic type 6.5.x clean.
I add throttle launcher and played around with this amazing WM7 theme by fireslave - very smooth and close integration too - but battery drain was massive! Lost my battery in less than 3 hours!
I started looking in the forum to see if I can find a solution, and stumbled across another WM7 theme that was just uploaded by headhunter. Amazing theme, tried it, battery drain issue same, but more integration, din't like the tiles look - so disable it.
Removed both themes and throttle launcher completely.
Installed SPB Shell and tried Doc&Mskips Android themes- as much as the eye candy they are, they help explore SPB to max! Loved it, no battery issues, no ram issues. But since I ended up being a little perfectionist, I hated those lags in loading icons - spoilt the look of tg01 and theme! Everytime I swipe to next page and icons take few microseconds to load! :s (that is THE only feature I HATE about SPB!)
So removed SPB and themes completely.
Then came across this Sense. Installed it, played around. Made that feedback. It ran smooth even with such low memory, but then while adding facebook pictures to contacts, it took absolute ages and froze too!
Another bug I discovered was - messaging. Although I said it works, it doesn't completely! I found that when I tried replying messages from HTC client, it kept saying 'Sim error, switch on the phone!' However, my phone obviously was switched on and the issue I guess is with 'Wireless/comm manager' as mentioned before.

wow! soundslike you spent ages trying to customize your phone! abt the issue with htc messaging client, i think it is something to do with the default htc messaging 1.5 not included in this compiled cab. i havent really tested it yet, so i really cant halo you there i our throttle launcher as well, but i agree; battery usage is too much(newer version rely on the 3d accelorator to run contantly, therefore sucking up your battery and RAM. i was going to try mskip's and doc3000 droid theme too, but didint get a chance! i recommend using mskips wp7 theme... it is beautiful! there isno lag, plenty of free RAM, and great battery life. i also dont experience the spb icon lag thing. i think it is based more around 6.5.5 builds. they are generally slower, and consume more resourcses which give you less RAM and speed. also how did you mangage to get 140mb of free RAM!!! i tried using plain windows mobile hone screen (not titanium) and with all startmenu etc disabled i only get 100mb + on a 6.5 rom...
anyway cheers hope this helps!

Sorry melpycar, not hijacking your thread!
I have tried mskips wm7 on spb. To be honest I love all spb themes, but dont like spb lag! I will flash a 6.5 rom and see if it's solved! I think 140mb free ram at boot near to default on mirom4 approx 100mb :s
But after giving it some time it drops to about 90mb free (stays constant approx all the time)
I din't do anything special at all. If you disable startmenu on plain winmo home screen, how did you manage to access programs :S
Regarding this cab - I would love to see if pyro's htc messaging clients are included! I tried to replace current messaging client by pyro's one but it lead me to black screen. I was able to do it on sense roms, but not on this sense. Any chance to being able to cab it up? This cab is surely smoother than sense roms, but if these above mentioned issues are fixed, it will work a charm. I haven't tried using CHT, CHTE with this sense as I had exchange emails encyption on, but could someone please try and tell us if CHT works? and also RAM update after CHT please?

this sense is really quick because it is one of the latest builds, 2019. im currently using build 2016. it is very quick but could be as quick as this! i havent hade any time to test, i will try to soon asap! a tip to save ram is get yourself MMTaskManager (somewhere on this forum) then after you finish acessing music and photo videos tab, kill the processes AudioManager.exe and AlbumSearcher.exe this can save you a total of whooping 15mb ram! i have been using this method for many months now, im deciding on creating a thread on how to save RAM on sense... i know so many tweaks!
i will see if i can try miros miROM4 and get that RAM! Yeh disabling the starymenu with standard today srreen will not let u acess your apps, but you can install QuickMenu or MMAppLauncher.
cheers!
