I' ve downloaded something, but it's a zip file..what I have to do with it..copy paste on the device??

Try this one >>>>http://www.throttlelauncher.com/portal/downloads/34-public-releases/84-094k
Installed using Tomal v7.7 and it worked perfectly. Just follow the instruction.

TL
Sorry to say but I cant see any photo in the photo widget using TL. that's why i'm asking manila

Do you have the zip?
inside the zip are many many files cabs and other things to set manila 2d with cabs on the HTC devices... but if it wont starts you need to install the NON hTC M2d cab and the manilla will work
the throttle launcher works well but is a 3d compliant that only tooks many many ram memory its nice but not so goo for our non 3D acelerator devices uni-processors. so lets try the M2d by cabs.
with and without the nonhtc patch cab... i think it is on page 300 or something
let me search
little more.

Please, where can I find the Non HTC cab and the VGA hack, i have searched that >500 pages thread and cannot find it.
Thank u in advance

no reply, is there a Vga hack?

There is, but no landscape support (yet) making it useless for our use.
TF3D has landscape, but needs hardware OpenGL ES for decent performance.
I'm going to try Throttlelauncher soon which has landscape support.

Exactly!!!!
VGA has tooo many posts and search becomes a hard to do.... so... the only we can do is ask for the las compilation the non HTC patch and the VGA there!!!! maybe a mod can obligate them to begin a new thread...

can you help me? I'm using Asus P320 and have been trying quite a lot of times installing the manila 2D cabs but failed. do u know the right way to install it to my P320?

TouchFlo 2d --- Can someone please explain?

I have been around here a bit and have searched and found the ELFIN threads but can someone please explain the what and why behind the TF2d replacements?
I would also appreciate what exactly one needs to play with them if they are as cool looking as they seem. I have the v20 zip but I am not sure how or even if I should proceed with installs of the numbered files.
ANY Help on this would be greatly appreciated!

most of the stuff you may not need to install if you dont want too but plug your phone to your pc and then transfer the files to a place on your phone.
say make a folder on the storage card and then start with number 1 and go all the way till the end. you may see a file called manila test or something well thats the M2D theme but you want to install the other items 1st.
if you have a touch you may have to disable your cube which is easy, just replace 3 files on your phone in the windows folder.
its good to get a registry editor also you may need it

Thanks for the help, I have the reg editor. Can you be a bit more specific as to which 3 files I need to replace and replace with what?
Can you give me some background as to why TF2D is better than TF3D. Really, nowhere is this addressed. I have various themes for TF3D, different clocks, icons, etc. What does one get by installing and using TF2D???
rac

well first what pone do u have, because dependig on the phone you have, manilla 3d may not work. so far its only on the diamond, hd, touchpro, and sum have it on teh xperia. manila 2d is for those who like the way 3d looks but dont have a 3d capable phone. manilla 2d is not better than 3d, but its pretty much the same, without the 3d animations.

just noticed u have a fuze. disregard my last statement. u dont need tf2d cuz ur phone comes with 3d already. dont even wori about the cube edits, because ur phone doesnt come with a cube.
EDIT: you just need the tf3d editor. its somewhere around here. use the search. im not sure as to where exactly it is.

TF2D and TF3D are completely different. TF3D is built for devices with a stronger hardware accelerator but has been ported so that it is somehow (poorly) useful on other devices.
TF2D fits most devices now.
The main difference between userwise is graphics.
TF3D has a nicer looking interface (at least in my eyes).. has animated weather, animated clock...
TF2D doesn't have those.. and is mostly static (besides the bottom buttonbar).
You can't really measure how much TF3D or TF2D are "better" than each other. it depends on which device you've got and what you expect graphicswise and usabilitywise.
If you have the EFLIN, i'd suggest either using TF2D or... FEWidgets...(you can search for FEwidgets and see what it's all about).
cheers

Thanks that's exactly what I was looking for in an answer to my question. I really am having a ball checking what each icon set or clock is going to look like and I wondered where TF2D fit into this universe.
Thanks for the answer!
rac

btw, i personally suggest at least trying FEWidgets. I'm using it now and it's undoubtfully the best interface i ever had. looks and usability.

Touchflo 3D Contacts

I was wondering if anyone has started a app that has the same type of contacts tab that touchflo 3d is running, if so is there a .cab file and is it possible to make it run with Touchflo 2d?

You can't use the same contacts widget on TF2D. You can create your own using flash and use it with FEWidgets/ThrottleLauncher.. if you want to request the creation of such a widget look for FEWidgets widgets creation thread and post a request there.

So I would be able to implement a flash tab into throttlelauncher but not touchflo 2d....is there any thoughts of someone porting over that option or is there yet an actual manilla touchflo 3d cab ported over, or a rom with that packed into it to be used on other HTC devices?

TF3D was ported but is now still in it's infant stages. Also, it requires a massive amount of power and has a few bugs. you will need a strong device to run it properly.

Could you possibly give me the link to the thread were they ported it and uploaed or where they are talking about it..and also when you say a really fast device are you meaning a top wm6 device or would something like the AT&T tilt be able to run it but very laggy, sorry about all the questions..always hoping to learn more.

Look into the Kaiser ROM development thread, There are a few ROMs with TF3D cooked into them! I have a tilt running the L26 V4 TF3D ROM, and it works great for daily use! Very stable and its eye candy! Check it out! And read everything you can!

Question: Can I use TF3D-Clocks with Leo?

Hey folks!!
The question is: Can I use some cooked Clocks for TF3D (Diamond) with my Leo? For examples please click here.
Looking forward for your knowledge

Good morning...and *up*!

Diamond is a QVGA device and Leo is a WVGA device, what do you think????

The Diamond is a VGA device. See here. I know, cos it was my 1st HTC device and I LOVED it!
Anyway, in answer to the OP, I don't think the clocks will work as Sense and TouchFlo are different things, so I reckon the Manila files would (probably) have different names. Other than that, they may be compatible.
I suggest you ask someone who makes clocks for Sense, like dragon_soft (for example), OP of this thread...

It was a typing mistake , i wanted to say VGA device.

Well in that case, I still have to correct you
Most VGA software IS compatible with WVGA, especially theme changes. When I moved from a Touch Diamond to a Touch HD, I kept all the theme mods and just applied them. I'd say 95% of them worked. The only ones that wouldn't work were things that relied on the vertical resolution (in portrait). Obviously, the screen was still 480 pixels wide, just 160 pixels higher! So, if it was still TouchFlo and not Sense, the clock mods would work.
Anyway, I've said my piece

Thank you very much for your answers guys, you´ve enlarged my knowledge
I´ve opened up a request now, if there´s another soul that´s interested in this! (My interest is focused on the android clock).

WM6.5/Touchflo ROM with Flip-Clock & Weather ?

Hey Guys - I've poured over these threads and am a bit confused about the versions of HTC touchflo. What are my options, if any, that allow running WM6.5 and getting the flip-clock with weather beneath it? Is this possible? Or is this only touchflo 3d, which hasn't been cooked into a wizard rom?
Or maybe I should be able to change the look of the clock for this touchflo but I haven't been able to find it?
Thanks for any info.

I think what you mean is the HTC home plugin, right? I would say that you could use any 6.5 ROM and install the HTC home plugin to get the features you want (by the way, I just found this in a German ROM somewhere here, check out the "SKYNET ROM v6", post #7- Seems it's working there and should of course work for any English version, too). Good luck

I think it's called "HTC Sense" ?
Thanks for replying Andreas. I did some more searching and I think the name associated with the look I want is "sense" ... i don't see a wizard ROM for that yet. But maybe i'm missing something? I've attached a pic.

hm... well, I don't know this one. But guess what- I'd be interested in this too Sorry I couldn't help. Personally, I don't like the 6.5 default look either and I keep always changing to even the 'old' 6.1 home screen, simply because I have all the information I need on one screen. I prefer this over a fancy look. But the thing you are looking for seems to do the job, too. Let's hope someone can jump in and solve the issue
Good luck,
Andreas

Once i ask cracing why dont use this on a rom.
1- this new touchflo is to big
2- our processor is to slow to process the flip clock, you can imagine...there is a lot of deferents images all the time change.
3- there is still bugs on ported version (maybe now this is not more valid)
Just one more thing, the picture is the 3d version, this one is IMPOSSIBLE to get in a non 3d acceleration device, but there something like that in 2d.

I've run this (the 2D version anyway) on a Wizard, by installing cabs onto a fairly naked 6.5 rom. It's slow, and takes too much memory and storage. It sure is pretty, though.
I think I used an "MSD-Series" rom as the base. I can't remember for sure.
I often try 6.5 but my favorite roms are 6.1. Even there, Manila2D is a hog.
RoryB's latest ExtROM-based Angel rom and TechTeamup's NSN rom are pretty evenly matched as my favorites right now. Both come with M2D. NSN loses points for using an older version, but Angel loses points for requiring tweaks to get the album view and music tabs to work properly.

I also need the same. Anybody there can suggest something

Its New HTC Manila from HTC Mega having Flip-Clock and Weather on home screen. It can be found here.
As it has many images ( for making animation like flip clock ), it makes the device slower. So its only good for newer qvga devices having 400+ mhz CPU speed and 128+ MB RAM or users how use there device rearly.
Best Regards

You can see pictures of a Wizard running Manila2D v2 here:

It realy looks great but as Cracing and n2rjt and boto said: It needs to much RAM and CPU power! And is has no real landscape mode wich is a problem if you use it on a phone with a slide-out-keyboard like the Wizard. I did not only installed the CABs but cooked it into my ROM. I flashed it, tested it and 2 days later I already flashed an other ROM again because it is not usefull at all.
