My ATT Fuze does not have the animation when switching from tabs to tabs.
If you see here:
http://www.htc.com/www/product/touchpro/touchflo-3d.html
when it moves from one tab to the next, the screen falls back as if changing pages. Mine doesnt do that. Also, on the email page, mine doesnt hide the emails down or up, they just appear, no animation.
I swear, sometimes (most of the times) att just takes the phone out of everything.
HTC have taken this out in later builds to increase the speed when switching tabs in later roms.
I would be interested in enabling this to - should be possible if someone has the origional manila files.

I think the email bit works.. the down up works if you have more than one email accounts.. when you switch between two accounts the envelope rotates..
I am not sure if thats what you were referring to..
I think the animation is a bit different.. it was never the implementation.. I haven't seen any HTC touch Pro behaving like that..
Even when you see the demo video inside your TP, you'll notice they didn't have the animation the way it appears on the website.. I guess Sales People always show it off more than they can deliver IMHO..

your absolutely right, ATT definitely messed up the interface with their lameness, as usual...
There are skins on this forum, if you search around, that will provide you with those animations. Like others have said, they arent always 100%, they do make the phone feel laggier and sluggish. Also i havent found a skin that
has a working media library for the music tab.... But im sure someone will eventually make something that works good on the Fuze
Thanks for the replies. And when I said "phone", I was actually being a smart ass to say "fun", you know phonetics.
I will check with my friends Sprint version and see if it has it.

Where can I find this demo video? It played once when I was configuring my TP, but I was away and didn't notice it until the very end. Thanks!
you can find if in the \Content\Video folder
it's called Touch_Pro_GettingStarted
Regards,
Kris
Ya that definitely is better than how it is currently. I wouldnt mind if it was a setting in TF3D that we could turn on on and off.
Fade effect = tight lol

can you upload the video? i dont have it
Perhaps this could be incorporated into the new roms or even have the option in TF3D config
I tried out Dolphin Browser for a few days and can't understand how people enjoy that experience more. Obviously I'm not trying to say that their opinion is wrong but I would like to hear how they overcame the issues I had (if it was ever a problem for them).
1. Multitouch - I understand that the stock browser (SB for short) didn't have it for a while, but dolphins was very picky in reformatting text columns after a multitouch zoom and zooming was never very smooth.
2. Bookmarks - I hated the bookmark system. It never arranged as conveniently as the SB and never remembers that I wanted to sort a-z. It also doesn't fit as many on the screen which reults in more scrolling. And why in the world would bookmarks not be an icon option in the popup menu? I do most navigating one-handed, on the bottom half of the phone so when I'm trying to access bookmarks thru dolphins I would have to use my other hand because the lack of multitouch resuts in my palm hitting the screen as I tried to tap this tiny star that is the bookmark opener.
3. Menu layout - simply don't like an intrusive menu taking up the whole screen just because I want to press the back, forward or reload button. I seem to remember a prior version having an option where the menu loadout would only occur after pressing the down arrow, but couldn't find that in this latest version.
4. Ads - nuff said
That said, what I lover is full screen browsing, seeing the subtle green bar at the bottom showing number of open windows, swiping to change windows, removing the on-screen zoom buttons and having the dedicated Google bookmarks tab are all features I will not soon forget as I venture back to the stock browser.
After the multitouch update for the SB(which I seldomly use in browsing, thanks to the awesome double-tap-to-fit feature), what other reasons do you have for continuing to use Dolphin?
Again, not trying to say Dolphin users are wrong, I oust get surprised to hear so many rave reviews when everytime I have tried it has turned out to be an unfulfilling experience.
Edit: hopefully I've posted this in the correct section (maybe General would have been better). I know some out there are very picky about what should go where.
yea i like the stock browser with MT now. Screw dolphin
somehow i feel pity for dolphin's devs..
at one time people rated them as one of the best browser out there, and when our default browser got updated, there's people open up thread just to point out its weaknesses..lol.
it's a free software, so we can choose to use it or not..
btw i myself prefer stock browser as well haha..
agreed.
I don't like how the tabs and buttons are in low resolution. It may look good on other phones but on a nexus OLED screen....it doesn't look good.
To be fair, the only big update to the stock browser since its inception (inception for me being a few months after the G1 came out) is MT, and icon-bookmarks and that wouldn't affect my final opinion of Dolphin either way. I tried out Dolphin back on my G1 and wasn't a huge fan of it then, either.
As far as the devs go, if they read my OP (highly unlikely) I really hope they just look at it as some random donkey with suggestions as opposed to me trying to say their product has no place in Android devices.
Steel in complete junk and always was. Dolphin has its moment but I don't care for MT as it is so that was never really a draw for me. The low-res icons exists on the G1/myTouch. I'm sure that Dolphin has its use and I certainly don't mind competition as that can only be good for us as end users. I prefer the stock browser as it serves its purpose very well. Dolphin needs to get rid of the confusing, unintuitive menu system.
Gestures and the "open windows" pane are excellent.
Prefer default becuase of MT/text formatting/Bookmark Icons.
Now that Stock has Multi-Touch and Double-tap to Fit-to-screen... I haven't touched Dolphin.
Dolphin is great for it's auto-sizing so far as webpages are concerned... But it's really just too much in my opinion. I like the layout of stock, and the menu is just simpler. Gestures were really startin' to irritate me too. Some are easy, but making your own and the phone would get mine about 33-50% of the time.
I started using dolphin on my g1 mainly for the full screen options and the ability to download just about any type of file to the phone. I kind of gave up on the stock browser pretty soon after I started using dolphin. however the ads are annoying & the ui sucks major ass, after reading all your thoughts I'm inclined to give the stock browser another chance.
oh yeah and the ability to hold down back and be presented with a dialogue to clear cache and close from dolphin was another big selling point for me.
loving the stock browser!!
occasionly switch over to Xscope
The bookmark syncing in Dolphin is good though....
Why does the stock not have that? (or am I missing something here)

This is how the software world works though...
A void is found and someone/a team steps up and fills that void; in this case it was a broswer to answer the asks of all the users not pleased with this or that in the stock browser.
Once the majority of the asks were met with an update, the need for an additional installed app went away for almost all users.
If firefox comes to android you can bet everyone who is calling dolphin garbage compared to the SB will be doing the same with the SB compared to FF....just the way it works
Personally, I would LOVE FF to hit android; I really miss xmarks and adblock. Yep.
i need to try stock I've been using dolphin ever since........
Right now I Prefer the default because of Text formatting and Bookmark Icons.
Dolphin browser was pretty slick a few updates ago, then they messed it up with the menu navigation.
Gestures...full screen...and to deal with the ads...adfree (if rooted).
Hmmm... I'm not sure if I'm right bout this, but I think loading pages on the dolphin browser is quicker, I tested and compared both browsers against my co worker's Iphone, and SB loaded a few seconds behind the Iphone, then I tried it on the dolphin browser and it loaded up faster, of course I've tried this several times and got the same results. It was a very noticeable difference too, so from that point on I never used SB again.... You guys should try it out and let me know what you think.
i liked the dolphin for a while for enriched functions and the look, but then i somehow found it too overbearing for the simple task that i do every time. i may look into the firefox browser (if it ever really comes), but i am all for native as long as possible to retain native integration.
I've also found Dolphin to be quicker in loading pages than SB, which is the reason I'm using it atm. I use a browser to get around the web as quickly as possible so that the SB is slower makes it a no-brainer for me at least.
The reason I won't be leaving Dolphin Browser for now is definitely the full screen browsing. I've also grown so used to gestures for everything I think it would be hard to go back. I personally don't mind the menu taking up the whole screen because if I hit the menu button that's what I want, the menu, nice not having to do menu>more for basic stuff, long press>page or gesture to select text is also really nice. To each their own I suppose, just be glad we have options unlike some other phones *cough**cough*
Fresh I hope you see this post and it doesn't get burried... I downloaded your lock solution on your website the one that came with the 3 fix-it's in it (last download option) I flashed it on my phone and it worked completely fine but then I went to go shut off my phone and I see this.. (Image Below)
As you can see where my frustration comes in... the original 2.1 Icons are gone and now are replaced by weather icons and two of them have too large of text and does not fit in the box. Is there a way that you could fix this? Perhaps changing it back to the 2.1 Icons and or providing an option to fix these icons. I would prefer the 2.1 Icons though.. Thanks Fresh!
I posted this in a new thread because I was afraid it would get buried in your thread with all of those posts..
+1, I can live with it but that's a little disappointing
ps. I only got the lock and clock zip
Go back to the site and download it again. That was a bug when I first released it and it's already been resolved. If the site is still linking you to bad ones then let me know, but I fixed that very early this morning.
When I look at a site like this, it cramps up the webpage so its super skinny and the words are mixed up and cluttered. Any way to make it see normally like every browser but this? Also, every time i leave the app for like 5 secs and go back to it, it starts on a refresh page. Can I just make it be the same as iI left it?
HTC Inspire 4g CM7 Stable mod. No nightlies as of yet.

1, when you launch the browser, hit Menu, then More, then settings. There you should see a tick for Mobile Web pages.
2, not sure on this one.
Thanks D
Anyone answer #2?!
I'm running a different rom but for my rom I had to create a contact for myself then go to settings > call settings > additional settings and then it said phone number and I had to manually input it, after that my picture would show up in conversations. Not sure if this helps
