This is my first post, so please be gentle.
I only recently got my Kaiser (two weeks), and I've been toying with different ROMs. I tried QMobile 1.2, and it seemed alright, but I keep seeing Youtube videos about the "Cube", and it looks like it'd be really handy to have since I don't like pulling out my stylus. It seemed like QMobile 1.2 had "TouchFlo", but I can't seem to find the same "cube" navigation demonstrated in the videos.
I've spent 3-4 days doing nothing but reading the Wiki and forums, as I didn't want to make another duplication of a question asked dozens of times. I've got a notebook with 5 pages of acronyms and numbers, already
So - from what I can gather, Dutty's ROMs seem to be the best I can find that have this Cube thing, as well as what seems to be extensive customization.
My Kaiser is HardSPL'd and I've downloaded and installed QMobile 1.2, so I'm relatively familiar with the process.
This (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=361544) thread seems to be about the "Duttys DualTouch v4 RTM Release", which appears to be WM6.0 and what I want. After 30 searches across the Forum and Wiki all I find is discussion about a 6.1 version being available, but I'm not really interested in that until it's officially released (with documentation).
My verbose background aside, I can't seem to find a download link for this release. When I go to the Dutty's lives-in-eu site, I get a server-not-found error. A few pages back in the thread there is another link, but it was password protected.
If for whatever reason Dutty's site has been removed, can anyone else recommend a ROM that has lots of space, the "cube" (or similar finger navigation), slide to unlock and AT&T Tilt stuff (like a compatible radio and Connection Settings)?
Help?
I should also mention that I really appreciated the "Acronyms" sections of the Wiki and FAQ. My first reading of the board was nearly impossible with the number of acronyms. Perhaps someone could add something explaining the 'Cube' ? It seems like a very big feature for the Tilt / Touch, but I can't find a good explanation of what TouchFlo / FTouchFlo / Cube etc., really are, where they came from, etc.
Dutty's new ROM is not available yet. Friday is what he is saying. I use his v4 and it works great other than the damn weather plugin that I finally got P1tater to help me out with. Very fast, and stable.
Here is an alternate link for the V4

This is the best cube.

Here we go.
Ftouchflo enables you to drag you finger across the screen for scrolling.
FtouchfloConfig is the app to allow you to access the cube. Once enabled you can "usually" drag you finger from bottom to top of your screen to launch the cube. If you can't get it try to reduce the duration from 100 to 300.
Dutty V4 is a very good WM6 rom. It is his current stable release. He is working on 6.1, and a lot of peeps on here are chomping at the bit for it.
Unfortunatley his download section is down (hence the page not found error on the site).
I'd recommend a Schaps or Alex rom at the moment, if you can't get dutties.
Alex has a Wiki page that explains wha is in each. There are 7 versions, including a cube one.
My advice to you is keep reading posts, and it will all start to make sense.
You can install anything you want (eg SU2U), try searching for the cabs or ask if you are really stuck or don't know what summat is called. you can use google, see the stcky on the ofther kaser post.
To be honest it is all down to personal prefs. All the chefs here are very good at what they do... Schaps, Dutty, Alex et al. It doesn't cost anything to flash a new ROM everyday (unless you muck it up ) so try all of the ROMS here and see which one suits your prefs best.
I think the server Dutty is using is down right now, and that's why you are unable to download DualTouch V4. Check the site: http://duttythroy.lives-in.eu/cms/ every now and then, and if it comes back up, there will be a folder called DualTouch where you will be able to download the ROM.
For now, its possible to get the cube on the Q-Mobile ROM. Visit this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=350011 and download the files. I believe this cube runs quite well. It has a different skin than the original cube, but poorlyduck has also included files to revert back to the original skin. Just read the thread and I'm sure you will figure it out...
Hope that helps...
Wow you guys all nailed it.
Thank you Dave for the explanation, I added it to my notebook. Is FTouchFlo something that HTC made for the Kaiser or did someone port it over? If so, whom? I'd like to see what else they did, maybe donate.
Thank you alltheway for that link, it looks like you've got a lot of stuff shared out there. I just finished the Dutty v4, so I'll be trying it...
And zakhir I downloaded that cube, the Vista one. Finally have one that works, woohoo! Thanks. One question though - is there anyway to make s2u2 work with the Cube? When I 'slide to unlock' left to right, I end up opening the cube and spinning it.
EDIT: Nevermind, found the answer to that one with Google: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=360813

We found someone that knows not only how to read...but how to use Google...I'm so happy.
DCS v1.5
Give DCS a try!
I found its really fast and has essential progs.
I believe it is comparable to Dutty Roms.
You must of course flash a new radio

You can add s2u2 to the exceptions settings of ftouchflo... then you wont activate the cube when trying to unlock the phone from s2u2

me too, seems it's one of those famous days where I can go to bed, happy
and by the way, downloadsection on dutty site is up as interim solution until we found a better hosting possibility.
Ok, apologies for starting a new thread on what's probably been done a hundred times. But I notice info is scattered around literally 1000's of pages so I thought I' just start a simple one here to a pretty simple question.
I'm getting a stock Orange e650 and want to put Manilla2D on it, or just WM6.1.
I've read up on the SPL etc, and Dr. Martin Gonzo's WM 6.1 zip seems pretty idiot proof with very clear instructions. I'm pretty confident about flashing it.
However, I've not found a simple guide to Manilla2D. Does Manilla2D sit on top of 6.1? ie, I install WM6.1, and then the cab files for M2D?
The .zip I have has various .cab files which I imagine are executed on the device. But when and how?
I basically need a solid guide to installing a stable Manilla2D build.
I'm happy take pictures and write up a guide as I do it if one doesn't exist. A sort of 'noob's' guide from a 'noob's' perspective.
Thanks
Because there is no simple way to get manilla 2d to work on a smartphone^^ Try allshadow.com forums, there is a thread with guides!

lol The more I read, the more I think I'll just put 6.1 on.
Thanks
I don't know if manilla runs on 6.0, but 6.1 is a definite improvement over 6.0!
the first treath is now renewed
with it its now very easy to get manila working but at least with neo and wm6.1 rom the upper symbols(like mute signal strange etc) are white boxes.(maybe another 96dpi hack will solve it runs smoothly on my vox except landscape even with installed patch it wont work.
Anyone interested in making a 6.1 ROM with Manilla2D already installed? Is it by any means possible?
DID DO
But the 96 dpi hack eems to make things impossible to use on a daily basis
try the random audio manager that keeps loading
Hi all,
Before I begin:
1. I did a search on these forums, didn't get many good results back.
2. I know about the Modaco thread ... and I've tried registering to browse through the posts there and download the links, but I've tried and waited for multiple days for that stupid confirmation email and it never came even after multiple attempts so I guess I need another way.
Ok...
I've got the M2D installed and running perfectly on my Incite, which is WQVGA ... the skins thread here are all for QVGA devices - does anyone know of a website that has a list of WQVGA themes?
Barring that, how do I convert QVGA themes to WQVGA? I've fairly handy with HTML and PHP and know some XML ... just so you know where my skillsets are at ... I guess if I convert some skins I'd post them here.
Any help is appreciated!
lg incite want to use tf3d or tf2d not being picky
i found one wqvga theme for tf2d
http://wm-themes.com/load/27
i read in another xda thread about a guy putting m3d and tf3d on his incite, said the 3d effects were amazing, and the phone already has d3d preinstalled.
but he did post not the wqvga t3fd and i dont know where he got it. nor was he able to find any theme's for wqvga for t3fd

Please, been looking for it everywhere - looking for a cab to install ebook reader on my 20113030 manilla. I've looked in a couple of theards about this cab but cant find anything. If this cab exists, can anyone please direct me to it?
Thanks a lot in advance!
at this moment the cab does not exists
ohh... ok thanks for the info.
anyone had any luck with extracting ereader.cab
OK, I've tried a few cooked ROMs but for various reasons (stability, missing functionality etc.) I've decided to stick with stock 1.66 WWE ROM for now. However, having used the ereader app included in some of the new ROMs, I've found it to be far and away the best ebook reader for the HD2.
I was really hoping that by now one of the XDA Developer gurus would've managed to extract and create a standalone .cab version of the app items. I've seen the app as an icon in the Start menu on some ROMs, so either it is possible to create a standalone version or the icon just points to the same tab version in the cooked ROMs. I'm thinking it must be the latter, since if it was the former someone would've posted a link to the .cab file on here by now. This leads me to believe the ereader just may not compatible with the 1.66 WWE ROM.
I'd love someone to prove me wrong, or if they can't then at least recommend a stable 2.xx ROM that is just about stock but includes the ereader?
As Clint once said, Go ahead (punk), make my day.

here's standalone app version
Thank for the app. It's very useful.
Cooked a ROM with 6.1 and htc sense 2.5 for my TP2. Little did I know that it (Sense 2.5) isn't 100% compatible (W/ WM6.1) and certain functions don't work. I read another forum post somewhere on the interwebs stating that with some files you could make them work, and that the files are here on XDA. I looked and looked so I'm hoping someone knows what I'm talking about and has the link handy.
Thank you
