Yes, why. It's not 3D. When it was a rotating cube, it was 3D, but now, it's all 2D !
Any idea ?
On the D2 they refer to it as Enhanced TouchFlo 3D .... hmmmm
If you scroll across the banner then you can't rotate like a 3D surface. You simply reach the end like a 16th century ship sailing off the edge of the flat Earth.
I think you have to imagine the 3D .... along with the configeration options and flexibility with 3rd party products.
I think it's just the 3D animated effects, for example when swiping through text messages & emails, and the flip clock.
Back when I had my Kaiser, these were the only differences between TF2D and TF3D roms. So yeah, not really that 3D I guess.
TF3D was used for original Diamond, so I guess the new TF3D for Diamond2 and Pro2 with extra features & functionality is 'enhanced' TF3D.
It's just a name some HTC guy invented. That's all It could be 4D if they wanted.
Maybe it has nothting to do with depth, but is it call 3d because it's the third installment of touchflo ... the next version is probably called touchflo 4D then ..
Maybe they use the programming API for the 3D Ati extension, what's it called OpenES (??) for the GUI.
I know for sure SPB MS 3.0 uses 3D acceleration for their GUI (Carousel Mode) and TD2, HD is able to use the acceleration. Had a Asus P565 and HP hx4700 which does not use the 3D acceleration during the carousel mode.
3D is an abbreviation for "3 times more Demanding on your RAM"

They actually use the Vincent OpenGL ES API since TF3D.
The clock, the image transitions, contact flips, ... are all 3D.
Why is it called 3D while you still can't see 3D ?
Because the screen is 2D ... quite normal
So why do they call it 3D ?
It's like saying a 3D-game.
Everything is calculated in x, y and z parameters, but are translated into 2D graphics to display on your screen.
my question is not "why is it TouchFlo 3D" but why "Manila"?
the weather and the images are in 3d

Manilla is the codename
Touchflo 3d is the name HTC officially sell the UI as.
It is 3d in that the transitions for images, text messages, the flip clock etc. are 3d.
It utilises 3D hardware accelerated graphics (so it runs faster) as oppose to TouchFlo/Manila 2D that doesn't used hardware accelerated graphics.

nobody figure out manila 3D on kaiser
needs 3d acceleration (drivers)
impossible for the moment
Is there any real HTC album.cab from diamond2 in VGA?
i was impressed by the software tour presented in pocketnow.com
The photos are sticked to the finger when sliding. it can even stop in between two photos. it looks like the album in iphone,very responsive.
the pervious Version 2.5.1820.4127 and 3.0.1911.1826 seems do not have such function
Some news.
LG ADDS ADVANCED FEATURES TO OPTIMUS 3D WITH ENHANCED GINGERBREAD UPGRADE
Latest Upgrade Empowers Users with Powerful 3D and Multimedia Options
SEOUL, Nov. 15, 2011 – The enhanced Android 2.3 Gingerbread upgrade developed for LG Optimus 3D will include new and improved features such as enhanced network speed, better 3D experience and improved multimedia functions.
LG’s customized Gingerbread upgrade for Optimus 3D will not only include improvements from Google such as enhanced power management, advanced copy/paste and user interface (UI) improvements, but also enhancements from LG, such as:
Enhanced HSPA+ Speed via Faster Packet Data Services - Internet browsing and real-time streaming have become smoother and more seamless with up to 21Mbps HSDPA;
Enriched 3D Experience with 3D Video Editor and Full-screen UI Preview - With 3D Video Editor, users will be able to easily create and edit 2D as well as 3D movies on their Optimus 3D. The preview screen has become wider with a transparent UI, enabling users to capture better quality 3D content;
Improved Multimedia with 2D Video Stabilization and Faster Gallery Activation - Optimus 3D owners will now be able to record high quality video in 2D mode with the video stabilization feature, previously only available in 3D mode. Gallery loading time has also been reduced.
“These enhanced features included in our customized Android 2.3 upgrade will allow users to further integrate 3D into their everyday lives, as we make the technology more accessible and enjoyable on smartphones,” said Dr. Jong-seok Park, President and CEO of LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company. “We believe that 3D is here to stay and glasses-free 3D on portable devices is to experience the future.”
The upgrade will also include additional features such as improved video recording and longer MP3 playback time. The upgrade will be available starting in Europe from the Open model in the week of November 21, followed by other markets until the end of the year.

After a few observations on some 3D games optimised for the Optimus 3D, i have a few questions.
I believe the 3D effect is created in the similar way on how the TriDef/3D Vision drivers work (by generating left/right images changing the angle of the polygons etc) for each eye
On the PC this gives true stereoscopic gaming. eg with racing games, the background looks far and gradually goes towards the front
I have noticed that even with the 3D optimised games on the O3D as well as those put through the 2D to 3D converter that this effect does not seem to look too good. Scoreboard, touch buttons etc appear in front but the entire gaming section seems flat at the back.
Only exception to this seems to be Avatar where the 3D effect is more noticable (eg leaves at the front appear like they are in front etc) and more depth.
3D video's etc no issue, they look great. What do you think about the games? Is it really using the optimised viewport changing/adjusting to create the true 3d? I know there is some heavy CPU/GPU load in particular when converting the 2D games to 3D, but effect is nowhere near as good as it would be on for example the nintendo 3DS/PC with tridef drivers etc. It certainly is not an issue of the parallax barrier or small screen as the video's look great on it.
Can anyone give me examples of some other games that demonstrate the 3D well?
'Lets Golf 2' is pretty good with the 3D. (IMO)
Hologram 3D app turns your smartphone into a 3D hologram projector. World’s first android app on Hologram is “Hologram 3D app”.
Hologram 3D Android App
Hologram 3D Android App Video
Hologram 3D
The purpose of Hologram 3D application is to create a three-dimensional virtual image of mobile devices running Android OS 4.0 ICE_CREAM_SANDWICH or later, using transparent truncated pyramid. From the application you will learn how to make it yourself. Use the built objects - cube, sphere, pyramid, cylinder and cone. Make your own hologram - shoot the selected object from four countries and have fun.

I have a four-sided pyramid. Had made it last summer, when the first information on the subject appeared. There were many different holograms on YouTube at that time (didn't check since then).
Have tried my pyramid with your app. All works as it should. But, there is one point - its the content (9 images is not a good deal). The more the content the better! Gave your app 4 on GP (comment written in russian).
My best regards!
