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.
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)
Molecule 3D
Application for showing molecules in different stereo modes.
Molecule 3D can show molecules in different stereo modes:
- Anaglyth. For showing molecules it is neccessary to have anaglyth glasses, in which in which instead of lenses inserted special filters for the left eye - red for the right - turquoise.
- Side by Side. Stereo pair represents two images arranged horizontally next to each other.
- Mirror separated. Same as Side by Side, but the images are rotated in the opposite direction.
- Interleaved. This type of stereo pair activated when the application is running on the phone HTC Evo 3D with use of parallax barrier.
The application has a simple and intuitive interface with the following features:
1) standard manipulation of molecules, such as rotation, scaling;
2) it is possible to create wallpaper on the basis of the current image, and creating of screenshots;
3) app has a built-in database consisting of three hundred molecules of different groups. It is also possible to download a file in PDF and SDF format.
Molecule 3D on Google Play: type in searching "Molecule 3D".
Hi there. A direct link to the play store would be nice and also app tags as you can see in the titles of other threads on this forum are nice

Play your mobile videos in 4 sides( Hologram 3D) and Capture Hologram images (Holo Camera) by using "Holo Play Android App".
WHAT'S NEW
1) Holo Camera( Now you can capture Pyramid Hologram photos and share it with your family and friends).(Photos will get stored in HoloPics folder)
2) Convert your mobile pics in to Hologram.
3) Convert your videos in to Hologram and Play and Pause videos on touch of screen.
Tips: Make sure black screen or black background before taking picture from Holo Camera. So that Hologram looks awesome.

Hello Friends,
It's been a long time posting on XDA Forum. Now we are proud to announce that BSK Studios Pvt Ltd. and INDIA Startup company launched an FXtreme 3D Movie Director App.
What is special in it?? For several years from now people struggle to get good Chromakey Green and Blue Screen videos. Either they have to pay a huge chunk of money to buy Chromakey Green and Blue Screen videos. Creating on our own makes it so complex that we should be aware of multiple technologies like After Effects, Photoshop, Blender, 3D Max etc. Also we should know how to animate it and setting camera angle shots like Aerial, Ground, Long Shot etc. Now compacting all this in an Mobile App. Isn't it so COOL??
Using "FXtreme 3D Movie Director" we can create hundreds and thousands of Chromakey Green and Blue screen videos at any camera angle. Also we can take FX Movies instantly just need steady hands or use a Tripod to make it look stable.
Just Install the "FXtreme 3D Movie Director" App which is available both in Google Play and App Store.
1) Pick an 3D Model of your choice from wide variety of 3D Models like Aircrafts, Animals, Dinosaurs etc...
2) Set Shadow,Green Screen or Blue Screen according to your requirement.
3) Set the Camera Angle that matches you scene.
4) Set the 3D Model by using Position, Rotation and Zoom Controls. So that it fits in your scene completely.
5) Set the animation that 3D model want to perform like Idle, Walking, Running, Roar, Fly, Forward, Up, Down etc.
6) Click on Preview to view the animation before recording it.
7) After you are satisfied. Just hit Record button and it records the animation.
8) Manually you have to stop the Recording based on your video length.
9) That's it you can watch the preview. If you feel its good you can share instantly else retake it.
Note : In the settings you can pick SD (1280X720) and HD (1980X1080) Video resolutions.
Few screenshots and videos below. Also please download it and give a try it is really worth it. Lets support new innovative Ideas.
Thanking You,
