Possible TF3D on Vogue?

Hey guys, just recently decided that I would reactivate my Sprint Vogue after recently acquiring the TOUCH PRO. I decided to do this because now that I have the best of both HTC phones, the VOGUE and TOUCH PRO, i want to app out and theme my vogue. I recently installed both wisebar and SPB mobile shell onto my vogue and also flashed to the new WM6.1 rom. My question is, is there a ROM or app that i could install onto my vogue that is a replica or exact copy of the TouchFlo3D that is on the TOUCH PRO. I know i will probably have to flash...."GASP" my phone to do this but i am willing to learn and since i have the TOUCH PRO and............."instinct" as my 2 back up phones, i am going to use my vogue as my experiment phone. Any help or guidance is always appreciated
There is no TF3D version that works correctly on the Vogue, as it lacks 3D drivers.
There is a M2D (close to TF3D but not quite the same) you can run on it, though.
nice so its here in the forum somewhere, pardon my ignorance, but i searched and couldn't find it lol
Here you http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=398173 make sure you follow the instructions. It works like a charm for me.
hey thanks for the link, but that looks a little too complicated for even me lol, i think i will read some more and learn as much as i can before i do anything like that

A more simple option would be to unlock and find a rom you like that has M2D installed from the get-go (this is most of them these days).
Hey chipp any suggestions?
Manila ROMs
In the same forum where you started this thread there are at least 3 ROMs on the first page:
Vetvito's:

WDM's
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=425267
NFSFAN's
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=432487
there are more, but this is a few for starters. I am currently using WDM's v1.6 and I really like it and have no issues. However, I have tried all of the ROMs by the aforementioned chefs and they all work great as well as include TF2D.

Make sure you read about upgrading/flashing custom roms before you do this, as you can brick your phone quite easily.
There is lots of info on the forums about upgrading to custom roms.

Agreed... That option is idk you could say less hassle but its really not.. Because you still have to unlock and flash and then redo your settings but I think its a better option either way because you get a lot more freedom and customization when flashing to a custom ROM.. It will be smoother and an overall better experience for you.
By the way I have a TouchFlo/Manila 2D ROM in my signature

has anyone cooked up a rom w/ system 23025 or 23028

I really would like to try out the new wm 6.5 systems but i do not know how yo port or cook!! so i was wondering if anyone one has got a rom cooked up that they could share? thanks in advance !!
I am trying to get one brewing but having a hard time porting it. If anyone could help out that would be great. Thanks
I just built one with the 23028 sys. I havent released yet because I'm trying to get GPS working.
As for help, check out ali3nfr3ak's thread on ppcgeeks Vogue section. Thats where I got it all setup
Andrewwelton my man! Your the ****! I personally don't use the gps on my vogue. If you could post a link here, or if you prefer you could shoot an email, you would make me a very happy person. in the meantime im going to check that post out over at ppcgeeks, the new look is SICK!!!!
Hate to tell you mcluvn, but 23028 is really buggy and all the large style menus are TOO big. But, if you really, really want to try it pm me.

There are ROMs there with 23028.

Personally I used it on a touch pro its still very much in beta and very buggy/unusable. Believe me when I say its not worth it. I was considering slapping rom together using the new "23034" build just to play with it thou

Weird, I've been using a 23028 build on my Touch and it is one of the fastest ROMs I've ever used and has no bugs (there is one issue with the OK and X button graphics), is fully usable, and stables. In fact, many of the big WM sites have said 23028 and 23034 are some of the fastest ROMs out there.
Maybe you got a buggy/bad one, or it was bogged down with additional stuff from the Chef.
I did find a couple of roms w 23028 here and over at ppcgeaks. I tested them all out and yes they were all pretty fast but with all the bars and menus being so big they just got in the way and block a lot of stuff. I will try to find the links to the roms I have tried and post them here so others who would like to try for themselves can do so. if you guys could to that would be great. thanks everybody

This is true. With the menu bars reworked, and the resizing of certain elements, some apps do not work correctly.
or 23037
