Does Anyone Know if the HTC Touchflow interface will work on other devices? - JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading

Im quite new to this, but I read somewhere that the HTC touch and all the touch series are not real touch systems like the iPhone in that they also allow the use of a stylus.
Does this mean that they basically use the same type of screen as the other devices and as such the Touchflow system is just a Software trick ?
That led me to wonder if the Touchflow system could be flashed onto other devices I have an XDA Exec (Universal) and an XDA Orbit (not sure of the HTC designation for this) so Im specifically asking about these two devices.
Thanks in advance.

Touchflo!!
If you search threads for Xda orbit (HTC Artemis or HTC P3300) touchflo, you can download the ROM to replace the existing ROM on your Orbit and this will allow you to use the touchflo on your phone!
I've been using it for the past few months and it's all fine at the moment.
I hope that enough info for you!

HTC Touch stuff for WM2003?

Can HTC Touch related stuff like the TouchFLO run on Windows Mobile 2003? Anyone tried it yet?
- TKN
It doesn't even run on WM5 devices so I think it's safe to say that 2003 is outta the question.

3D Cube (TouchFlo) non-Touchscreen

Hello
Im reading much about installing the TouchFlo-Feauture of HTC's Touch on a diffrent device, such as many of HTC. But they all have touchscreen, which is the main reason of this tool, i know
But ive got a non-touchscreen htc device, HTC VOX (S710) and i'd really like to have at least this 3D-Cube to put shortcuts and so on.
Is there a way to install and use a non-touchscreen-version of this 3D-Cube on my phone?
This would be very nice
goodbye every1

does someonae has the new HTC touch 3d........-----
I WANT IT.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
isnt it only for htc touch diamond?
It isn't out yet. The 3d Touchflo Interface debuts with the HTC Diamond. Should be out by June/July.
I forgot to mention that the 3d Touchflo Interface demands better hardware and memory than most of the devices any of us has currently. The chances that it will run smoothly with our devices are very slim.
I think its a little sluggish on Touch Diamond itseld from what Ive heard from some of those who attended the press event.
Imagining it on Artemis could only be a joke.. It requires a GPU. And it also looks like this application has a lot of locks preventing cookers from porting. But still XDA-dev has much better hackers to overcome those. Lets wait for the devices on the market first.

here is a couple of words...i'd like to have 3d,but i suppose its not possible
However, a TouchFLO 3D upgrade for current HTC Touch smartphones (like the Touch, Touch Dual or Touch Cruise) isn't planned due to increased and changed hardware requirements.

if this was called HTC manila when it was in the development stage then i hav a ver of this(cab file) which is meant for VGA screen PPCs only
fair does that phone looks stunning,i was gonna get the orbit 2, but the diamond is much faster and better looking, quite looking forward to this one
After see Pontui Home runing so smoothly on my Artemis, I have a little hope that this programa will not demand a Hi-end hardware to run. I HOPE!!!

HTC manila AKA touch flo 3D
here you go

i checked it........it is the same user interface tht is in the htc diamond
but remember it is only for VGA ppcs n wont work on artemis
some people hav tried it on various VGA ppcs n the app runs only on HTC made ppcs(doesnt work on O2 XDA flame)
u may get framerates like 10-15fps
I have a X50v that's with my friend. I'll make a try...
Hi, In this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=363500&page=14
a developer called dobb try to adapt the manila VGA to QVGA and release a version alpha and beta that works in the qvga devices but obviously run slow and need to adapt the soft buttons. You can install the cab of VGA version and the dll's, thus overwrite the files in manila folder with the alpha or beta version of QVGA.(This version need to polish more)
The version posted for sheennick123456 was a beta of touchflo3d leaked in january 2008, and with greater reason, the actual version should run faster.
I have no doubt that any developer here not only achieved by extracting the touchflo3d but also the driver to run correctly.
Think about that:
When "Touch" released, HTC said the touchflo could only run on those Devices because of the special hardware (screen), but there are many of us who run the touchflo in our Artemis without such hardware (screen).
Greetings
really it isn't working... i installed it and i don't know how to uninstall.. anybody??
it creates a folder named manila somewhere in the device memory
i dont recollect the exact path but i guess it is in the my documents
all u have to do is delete this folder
If you want to uninstall you have to:
delete the folder in Program Files/Manila
delete all registry in HKLM/software/microsoft/today/items/manila
delete manilatoday.dll in windows folder
I tried in my artemis and works slowly but the second beta needs more work.

HTC touch to Diamond question

i have a htc touch for half a year now.
i have the mobile shell 2.1 customized in the diamond style. it works a lot better. but i have a question:
my brother did get his new diamond this week.
can i go to my computer then to my phone and copy all the files from his diamond (including the windows on his phone) and replace all these files on my touch?
so i get his windows and diamond settings directly and original (stock) on my touch?
is there anyone who has an answare for my question?
thanks a lot
nope
the diamond's files are cooked into the rom, assume a vga screen and different hardware, and 3d acceleration
so i suppose you could, but nothing would happen
are you GSM or CDMA. if you are CDMA then go to ppcgeeks there are people there working on porting all that we can from the diamond.
whats the diffirence between gsm and cdma? sometimes i get lost in all these names for those phones: touch, elf, pda, pocket windows etc....
but now that i thought myself about my question:
the phone needs to be activated befor you can connect to the pc. when you try to overwrite it says cant copy because "......" is already in use.
its damn. because i like the elf very much and also the diamond windows
thanx a lot

CID Unlock O2 Xda Zest

Hi does anyone know if it is possible to CID unlock the O2 Xda Zest.
I want to flash it with Iolite Rom on there (is that possible as the Xda zest is not manufactured by HTC).
Any comments much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
You won't be able to flash an HTC ROM to the O2 Xda Zest.
The Xda Zest is very similar to the Asus P565, and if ROMs for this start appearing, they may be flashable, but I doubt we'll know until someone tries it. Since I can't afford to replace my Zest, I don't think I'll be the first.
I agree, i was very close to flashing a htc rom on my zest to but stopped at the last minute with fear of bricking my device.
ive tried using alternative software like throttle launcher and htc diamond touch flo skin for spb mobile shell. but dont compare to the simplicity and operability of the original touch flo, does anyone know of any other alternatives?
I miss the Touch Flo it was really great in my opinion. Do you know whether you can install just the Touch Flo software without flashing a htc rom?
Cheers!
