Gents,
Is there a way to have additional tabs in Manilla with e.g. today screen from WM ?
I had PocketBreeze in my old smartphone and loved it. I'd like to have this in Touch HD without disabling Manilla.
Thanks,
Smartin
Your answer is called Second Today
Second Tab in Manilla
Hello
You can use a program called SecondToday which will allow you to have both TF3D and the normal windows Today screen.
Perform a search of this forum and you will find information as to where to get the software and how to install it.
Best Wishes

Is there a good replacement for viewing all your applications?
I like the iphone style where applications are sorted by category. I also like how you can change category with kinetic finger sideways flicks.
If you're looking for the Iphone interface you should check out Mallmans WAD2 (Wisbar Advance Desktop by Lakeridge) Iphone theme found at his site www.swampthing.net.
Also you should check out Winterface by Vito. There is a thread here at XDA called - Make your HD completely finger-friendly! - Maati has a video of what his setup looks like and how it performs on his HD.
Hope this helps
Winterface looks kinda like what I want. Except it replaces touch flo I think. I would ideally like to keep touch flo going and have multiple application tabs! I don't think thats going to happen tho.

Right. TouchFlo 3D will have to be set aside if you want to use Winterface. TouchFlo doesn't integrate very well yet with other today plugins.
I found another option. it has categories which you side swipe.
its called TouchLaunch There is a delta version which seems to have some extra functions to modify the scroll speed on about pg 22.
you need to install the modified diamond wvga skin by aussiebum which you install over azimuth21s diamond skin from the first page for it to work
Someone got M2D App launcher working on their hd, its not quite right but it looks exactly what i'm after... unfortunately i couldn't figure out how to get it working.
Hi,
I have turned off touch flo (various reasons, mostly because im quicker with the default windows mobile interface for mail / sms thank with the touch flow 'pretty' one).
The one thing i LOVED about the new touch-flo though was the HTC start menu, with a grid of apps and a nice interface to add/remove them. Its much nicer than the default WM one.
My question is
1. Does anyone know how to turn on the HTC start menu without turning on the rest of touch flo3d?
2. Are there any 3rd party apps (preferably free) that have the same functionality (grid of available apps) which can replace the built in one?
ps. Loving the touch pro 2 to bits - by far the best phone ive ever had...

I came from a 6800 and had it just about perfect for me. The TP2 is my first time using TF3D. Is Manilla basically custom versions of TF3D?
I was also using many SPB apps. Phone suite, Pocket Plus to name a few. Pocket Informant for my calendar. Will I still be able to use these with TF3D?
The widgets are like add-ons to get it the way you want?
"Manila" is the codename for TF3D. Basically these terms are often interchangeable.
TF3D is essentially a Today Screen plugin. If you have it enabled, you will not be able to see other Today Screen plugins. So, Phone Suite will work but you won't be able to easily access it's settings. Pocket Plus would not be very useful if TF3D is enabled. Not sure about Pocket Informant and how it integrates into the default Calendar app, so I'll let others get into that.
Not sure about your last query about widgets...
Yesterday I installed HTC ROM upgrade and unbeknownst to me installed WM 6.5. It does not seema s bad as some here make out but I have come across a couple of irritation stumbling blocks that I am sure someone here can resolve for me. How the hell do I get into basic wondows/phone settings such as backlight, power settings etc. Is there a way to customise what used to be called the Today screen, now the Home screen I suppose, beyond what little is available on the Home screen menu. In the old 6.1 version I had until yesterday when Touch Flo didn't have a settings option you were dropped back into windows settings, can't find a way to do this now. BTW does Manila = Touch Fl0 3D and is Sense an updated version of the same?

ok, im figuring u have the wm 6.5 now. yes manila is touchflo, and sense is just the newest UI. touchflo3d is a UI and Sense is a UI. if u have touchflo3d and want to change today screen settings(which is limited with out modding) go to ur start menu. then settings. then go today screen. u can change your themes on appearance tabs. if u want windows default today screen, click on the items tab on the bottom of same screen. then u can uncheck touchflo and check windows default. its a more basic setup. if u really wanna modify ur today screen/tf3d, check out the Themes and apps thread here in Rhodium. theres all sorts of tweaks to make ur tf3d look nuthin like it does now. Like transparent sliders, new icons, new taskbar, new transparent clocks, and it goes on and on.
i know it can seem confusing with all the icons trying to find ur main system settings. For the main ones, press start menu. then go settings. then go to system. u will be able to modify backlight/power settings and more. these are the main windows mobile settings. U also have a settings tab in tf3d that lets u change some things in system and tf3d but not as much or detailed like main system settings. try it out
Hi Jeremy.
In the 6.5 ROM you can find all the old regular WM settings by just sliding to the "settings" tab in Sense, and clicking the bottom-left soft key, "All Settings". Yes it's an extra click, and yes it gets annoying.
Manila is the underlying operating name for HTC's custom UI. First version was TouchFlo, then TouchFLO3/TF3D (which you just came off of), then Sense. All of those are just "generations" of Manila.

The fix is noted above, but I would recommend burning a custom ROM. I'm using the Energy ROM, and in that version the Settings goes to the WM settings rather than the Sense Settings tab. Plus, these ROMs can have a lot of nice customized programs already burned in.
I just downloaded and installed Easy Today Launcher on my WM Prof 6.1 and I am really happy with it. It allow you to put shortcuts on your today screen. I have TF3D turned off, so no idea how it works with that. The Easy Today Launcher is free and super easy to use.
thats right...in that tab theres the all settings to...a lil faster..lol

Hi. Thanks for explaining the Manila naming thing.
Unfortunately, for some reason, I do not have the All Settings soft key, its what I was looking for - the same option as in 6.1 with TF3D. Any ideas? Maybe I shoud just flash with the Energy custom ROM and be done with it!
Hello to Austin Texas btw from sunny north london!
Jeremy
I have found the All Settings option, it was under the Menu soft key! Anyway I have taken the good advice of stevedebi and installed the Energy custom ROM, which was a cinch to install and looks fanatsts so far. A happy man here!
