Searching a simple ROM without TouchFlo - Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development

I have been playing with TouchFlo on my opal and installed spb Mobile Shell. I like the Mobile Shell much more than touchflo. But since it is built into the ROM, it makes the phone slow.
Is there any really light-weight ROM available for Opal? Without TouchFlo and other stuff?
If not, may be I can try to develop myself. Can you guys help me with some links to understand how it is done?
Thanks in advance...

hey my friend
idk why you hate touch flo but its great lol
anyway here what you should do ...
just click start - setting - today - items .. and dont cheak the touch flo so the touch flo wont work and your pda wont be slow just in case restart your pda aftere stopping the touch flo and if you wanted back do the same steps and re-cheak the touch flo
thats all you have to do

Manila 3d on Touch?

Hi folks,
i saw some threads in the development section for manila 2d (which really looks cool). I'm wondering if this works on my HTC Touch!? I'm also not sure if there is a cab install version available - or is a rom flash needed (don't want to do that again...)
has anybody already some experiance with manila 2d?
thanks for any information!
you'll notice that there's a thread a few posts down with the Title "touchFLO 2D on ELF" this is the same thing as Manila 2D. It's a simple cab install and works just fine.
Just try it you will love it.
Looks good, but it doesn't work as it should. On my Elfin Audio Mgr 2 doesn't start, system runs veeery slowly even after uninstalling TF2D (hard reset helps) and cable is causing system freeze :/
just tried it and it really looks cool! It works without any problems...
Sad thing is, that its not working together with any other today plugins...

Touchflow 3D
I also have some problems with this panel, after I installed it to my Xperia I have serious problems, it's look great but it's very slow and after open a few other panels my phone just block, I've to reset the Xperia and then I can go on, so I deside to uninstall it but now way it stay's, and after looking in my installed programms it is gone??? I can't uninstall it and I suppose that the only sollution could be a factory restore. I'ts a pitty it don't work like it should be cause I find it a great interface so if anyone could give us some advise they're welcome. I did install the second little program tf3d_panel but even that bring it to full speed and error free

Atharia,
Just as nobody has replied and I don't want you to be left in the dark
Have you checked anything in the blackstone forum? That would be a more appropriate place for you to be searching. I understand you may have search for HTC Touch, and that would probabaly be why you came here.
On the other hand though, I think you're phone may actually come with what had been ported to this phone - don't quote me on that but I am sure that it had touchflo as standard?

Confused About all the Different Touch Flo 3d's

So just got my Xperia the other day and am looking to make the jump to Touch Flo 3d. Looking on the forum here there's at least 6 different versions and I'm kinda confused on what the differences between these even are.
Can someone please clarify the difference between:
Touch Flo 3d 1
Touch Flo 3d 2
Touch Flo 3d HTC Blackstone
Manila
Manila Touch HD
Manila V2
I noticed that there's also a lot of confrontation between installing touch flo as a ROM or just running it on a panel from a CAB file. What are the advantages of either. If possible I'd prefer to keep the Xperia panels and just run Touch Flo in a panel.
Also while I'm at it since I don't think it's worth another thread, can I run the Windows Mobile 6.5 beta in a panel or do I have to install it and wipe out windows mobile 6.1?
I am quite sure that WM 6.5 needs to be installed instead of WM 6.1.
About the Touch flo's im in the same boat... i just would like the "best" version as a panel. So thank you for bringing this up
Windows mobile is the platform on which all your programs run, including the panel manager and touchflo.
There's currently two* versions of TF3D, TF3D 1 and TF3D 2. Manila == TF3D.
The best and newest at the moment is TF3D2, as stickied, it has landscape support, but it also has a few bugs, as it's a beta build. All in all, it works more that good enough.
Best thing I can recommend is flashing one of itje's ROMS, preferably the new 4.0, which has TF3D2. This way, you'll have TF3D as your homescreen, but also the panels.
* Not including different beta's.
Alright thanks a lot, looks like I'll be installing that Touch Flo 3d2 ROM then.
Quick question though. Even if I flash this I'm going to assume I'm not resetting windows mobile since the xperia interface and touch flo 3d are just "skins" for windows mobile, so I wouldn't have to reinput all my settings?
When you flash your ROM, everything will be erased.
If you however just want to install TF3D and keep everything, you will have to wait for daran_clarke to finish his TF3d .cab, which you just install on your phone just like any application.
i recommend running TF3D2 from a rom, because the responsiveness and speed is increased alot. i recommend itje's touch it landscape ver 1.1 rom, as this is the most stable and normal version, as opposed to ver 4 which is lets say... a bit different. if you are intersested i will provide the rapidlinks to this no longer available rom
Already installed itje's V4 and am extremely pleased since it hasn't crashed yet. However I tried going on youtube and the video is really choppy and out of sync with the audio, which used to not be the case. Tested it both on wifi and edge and the data speed makes no difference. Any ideas?

Itje's V4 is (although the filename doesn't tell you this) still in it's beta stages. Some problems will still occur, but Itje is working on it.
That's the reason flext recommended you 1.1.
Am I supposed to have to reinstall the radio, because my EDGE has stopped working altogether since installing Touch Flo 3d?

Nope, that seems to be an unrelated problem. I've never seen reports of EDGE failing after TF3D installation. If the problem persists, you might want to try a hard-reset (also removing TF3D again).

TouchFlo 3D 2 works in portrait and landscape mode [latest version]
TouchFlo 3D 1 has touch flo tabs but only in portrait mode
Manilla is the TouchFlo cube [it isnt touch flo 3d at all]
Manilla HD is the same as Touch Flo 1
Manilla V2, I think is Touch Flo 3D.....
Forgive me for the guessing...I don't use touch flo

How to use Manilla 2D?

Hi Guys,
My Post could be irritating for most of you guys. But I am very much new to this forum and WinMo.
I bought a new HTC Touch Viva 3 days back, which has Windows Mobile 6.1 version and TouchFlo 2D. Now I am trying to apply skins to the touchflo. With some research on web I cam to know that we need to use Manilla 2D to fulfill this.
But when I checked the Manilla thread in this forum, it has download link but it is redirecting to a different forum.
Some one please help me in downloading the manialla cab and if possible give the details of how to use it.
Thank you very much guys...
Use other shell instead.
Hey, buddy.
I think you should check out SPB Mobile Shell(Commercial), PoinUI Home 2(Free) or PoinUI Home 2 Pro(Commercial) instead. If you don't want to pay PoinUI Home 2 would be a perfect choice.
They are better than Manilla 2D in many ways. At least it doesn't require you to do any modification to use its in landscape mode. That save you from a lot of problems and times!
Sorry, I didn't answer about Manilla 2D. Just my opinion.

TouchFlo 3D on Orange SPV M700?

I recently flashed the ROM on my Orange SPV M700 to Windows Mobile 6.1 Elegant and was wondering if I could use TouchFlo 3D on there where you have different layouts than the usual Windows Mobile 6.1 Theme/Skin. Is there a method of doing it and is it easy or complex?, at the moment the Theme/Skin I got with the ROM is horrible and distasteful so if anyone has got a guide please share .
Manila 2D
You can use Manila 2D. I don`t think Touch Flo 3d works on trinity. I do believe it needs 3d acceleration and trinity doesn`t have that.
Thanks but links might be helpful next time , guess I'll just have to try and search it .
Well... thats what the search function is for
Cheers Mate IOU .
I found an excellent one with Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional and Manila 2D with all the great features, so you did help me, by suggesting Manila 2D, so thanks .

[Q] Xend Touch Flo s/w help for HTC elf 100

Hi all forum members,
I found this s/w XEND Touch Flo which actually changes the touch flo theme to a red color is exiting to see as am bored with the regular pre installed blue color.
I have HTC Touch P3452 (Elf 100) and am not able to install this.
Can anyone give me a link to download the correct file and the steps to be followed to install it in my elf.
Looking forward to hear from all of you.
I hope the developers can answer this to the best.
Also is there any other way or s/w which can be used in my elf to change the look and feel of my touch flow - I guess my touch flo is a 2D version and my elf has WM 6.1 with Qvga........
Joyjeet, our devices are 3 years old (dinosaurs in terms of smartphones) and touchflo has been removed from all cooked roms because of inefficiency and appetite for ram. All this to tell you there are very few ppl who actually know about touchflo
