Hi:
Is there any CAB that allow us to recover circular zoom?
I think this was a very interesting, original and distinctive feature of our phones.(unlike Iphone) Way much better for our 5mpx camera.
Waiting for your help.
I need this cab file too
Does anyone have this?

Hi,
This is one of those little pet peeves in that a picture may look great on Portrait mode, but then look cut off or "duplicated" in Landscape mode.
Anybody aware of a Reg hack to accommodate this? or anything else for that matter?
Thanks in advance!
all you need to do is copy the picture to your ppc \windows dir
name them
tdywater.gif
and
tdycust.gif <- i believe this is the landscape pic
Finally i found the solution for the unsharp tf3d background. Just take a .jpg picture and scale it to 480x800. Then rename it to "HomeBackground.img". Disable touchflo and then copy the file to your windows folder. Enable touchflo and tada!
w00t??? trying it right now
tried it with my current background cant see any difference.. gonna test it with some other backgrounds later
the best results are in 440x640
mine's still the same... probably because i edited the manila file for BackgroundAllTabs?
Doesn't work for me too. The background changes, but it's in the same low quality as always.
mine's still the same...
same problem here!
Verry strang. I have a dutch Rom and i can even rename a picture from 2,55Mb 6104x4448 to homebackground and the picture shows fine but lose some hight en width.
But the thing is, you can get more pixels than the screen has.
edit:
Another thing i just realised, i downloaded the wrong format in te wallpaper thread. I downloaded the thumbnails and not the picture itself. So my screen was always unsharpen with this thumbnail.
Is there no way to make the background as clear as when you preview it in photos and videos? I tried 480x800, 480x640, 440x640...nothing works.
nope 440x640 has no strech issues, but i think quality degradations depends on tflo3d itself
Anyone have the solution?
anyone solution?
It would be great to have full quality pic as background. The quality when looking the same picture on gallery is waaaay much better..
This is so weird that HTC would do this, they make a skin program that is supossed to be better than the WM standard today, and it is in my opinion, and give us the option to have our own background and make it so the background looks crap, why why why.
I would love the answer to this as well.

'Cos touchflo was originally developed for qvga (320x240) devices and was hastily ported to higher res phones.
In other words,
... a lash-up!
actually best quality 4bckg remain apply mun-rus's cab. See link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=479112
The pro of this method is same high quality of jpeg file used for home tab.
Minus are the applied modify to 1c68...manila. For new analog clocks (ex. Nisse's clocks) it was modify also same 1c68...manila.
So it dipends of u goal....
If u like to have an high quality 4bckg, then install mun_rus cab, but not install any analog clocks, because 1c68...manila is not compatible for analog clocks.
Otherwise if u don't care of any quality bckg, then u can install any analog clocks.
Thanks but we're talking about the home background's quality, not about the quality of other TF3D tab's backgrounds.
Home background's quality is poor : even an excellent jpeg in high reolsution becomes unsharp as a TF3D home's wallpaper like it was already said, that's the point
it looks like they take tf3d from diamond and put in to hd even the square's in the original background are not till bottom if you install diamond theme it will be looks the same like original theme
this is SAD !!
phone make in rush ???
Why XDA's programmator not resolve this problem?
Hey
wanted to know if the WM6.5 allows you to use full res and quality wallpaper?
not like on the regular HD wallpaper that shows only 512X512...
tnx =]
WM 6.5 allows you to use full screen images and they are crystal clear.

It's not WinMo that's causing the problem with Touch HD background wallpapers, it's Touch Flo 3D.
So, if you would disable TF3D you could probably get nice quality with WinMo 6.1.
I have been digging around this issue and I do have a solution to get full resolution wallpapers with TF3D. Unfortunately, this process now requires a lot of messing around with Manila files, so it might not be for everyone. But I'm thinking about publishing my custom Manila wallpaper files, which basically require simply copy+paste into Windows directory and then restarting TF3D.

That would be great.
I hate how the quality is degraded once you set the Wallpaper.
There is so much difference in quality when viewing a picture in "albums" as opposed to the home screen wallpaper.
I wonder why TF3D lowers the resolution on the home screen.
Please publish a solution. thanks

I actually started a thread in General > Dev and Hacking about this very issue. It didn't get a lot of attention from people with Touch HD's, but none the less, I managed to get down to the bottom of the mysterious TF3D behavior and I can see that the info from that thread got to the people working on visual enhancements for Touch HD.
Basically, it's insanely stupid solution some lazy HTC programmer implemented.
Imagine that TF3D can display images that have maximum size of 512x512. Now imagine you have screen size that's 480x696 pixels (this is how big the wallpapers are). See the problem? The maximum image you can use is 184 pixels short to cover the whole screen.
And then you get a genius idea to use two 512x512 images to cover the screen area and allow full resolution wallpapers to be used. So you take the default HTC wallpaper, split it in two parts, align them perfectly on the screen so it looks as if they're one image - and problem solved!
Right?
Well, not quite. Yes, it will work for default background image, but what about custom wallpapers? Well, they were too lazy to make an automatized script that would split the images in two and align them on the screen.
Instead, they opt for a more convenient solution in form of taking custom wallpapers, shrinking them down into a single 512x512 box and then stretching this downsampled image back to 480x696 area.
And that's whats causing all these problems.
If you want a temporary solution, create 512x512 image - I bet it will look sharper then your 480x800 image.
A true solution is to cheat TF3D and import manually FOUR separate images that together form portrait and landscape wallpapers.
This can be done, and I will explain it in a separate post here when I get some free time. At the moment I'm too busy with FingerKeyboard
Wow, Rozenthal! That would be very interesting! It´s almost a dream I have: to see a quite sharp image on my TF3D Home screen.
A lot of people would be very glad with you if you teach us how to do this.
Thanks a lot in advance
It's not a dream I have it on my screen now...
The problem is in the fact that changing skins cannot be done through Settings tab. It requires editing the appropriate Manila files by using a Manila graphic editor on your PC. Also, this is something that will require at least moderate knowledge of some good graphic editing software (read: Photoshop), because you need to manually prepare split png files for portrait and landscape.
Then you take these files, load them into Manila files, compress them into a special TF3D graphic format, copy them to Windows directory overwriting the old files, turn off TF3D and then pick "Use default wallpaper" in your Settings / Wallpaper tab.
So, it's major pain in the a$$, and it's not something you would be doing on the road, or every day. But, as I said - it CAN be done.
The way I see it, we could probably get some users here to team up, learn the procedure and then simply offer zip-ed Manila files that other people can download and copy into Windows folder. That part is easy, it can be done by anyone. Preparing the wallpapers, however, isn't that simple.
Anyway, I will try to make a tutorial on how to do all this tomorrow.
In the mean time, you can check the thread I mentioned earlier. Altough, be warned that some of the final conclusion posts from that thread were lost during last sunday hack attack on XDA.
Any way to enable the GSensor to work with the albums? I came from the Diamond and I liked how I could change the orientation of the picture by rotating the phone. Or was that functionality just taken out of the newer Manilla?

well, if it's the album in manilla 2.5+ it will not rotate.,. but if you open the album application directly from start menu and look at the pics in there it should auto rotate..
Google an app called Gyrator, it will allow you to select which programs you want to autorotate and you can make Albums one
I've searched but can't seem to find if there's a newer version of the S2V photo album that will work well with the Tilt2. The old one (0.42) doesn't zoom (and the native album program doesn't seem to allow me to sort my photos by anything other than most recent). It's a great program, and I'd love to be able to continue using it. Any thoughts? Thanks.
The best way to zoom is to use the d arrows on the keyboard. You would have to open the keyboard and manually rotate the screen to zoom in portriat view. S2V also refuses to zoom in or out on some of my large pics.
