TouchFLO 2D

I'm not exactly sure if the TouchFLO has to be on a touch screen phone, but I've seen pics of this 2D version of TouchFLO floatin' around and I'm wondering if it can be ported to our phones?
Anyone know?

Shucks. Maybe in time...

all the cabs are available in xda development and hacking forum. But the total install is around 26mb. I installed on my tilt last night and its pretty sweet. Dpad navigation works, so maybe a possibility that it could work, just have to try it. They also have the oems available for using in roms. Maybe nrg can cook it into his rom.

Has anyone here tried this yet? Its working almost perfect on the shadows, so the only reason you might have problems is the landscape compared to portrait layout. But that could be worked out, the main thing is that it will work on wm standard if anyone's interested in it.

Here's proof of smartphone version, shadowmike is porting over.

It's only for htc phones right now, so I can't try it on my blackjack before it sells to let you know any more than that. I can tell you on the tilt, that this is a great interface plugin.

showaco-where is download link and instructions ?
I have htc s620 and i have to try.

thats just a matter of changing the settings xml for the image layout and changing size of background images, wouldn't be to hard, just takes a little time on spacing adjustment. The zip with all needed cabs is in the first link. shadowmike may have changed some of the files to use on smartphone, i'm not sure. He's supposed to have his done this weekend and should be available on allshadow.
NRG should get this for excaliber/dash if he's serious about making a rom.

Nice, how about that HTC Viva, I think its using the same processor as the Dash, but with native TouchFlo, can't wait.

Re: TouchFlo
If someone could put the XML code up then we could all do our little bit here, all we would have to do is highlight change and the original post could be corrected
Then all we need a test bed shore Reeg would be into this?
Just trying to make us all involved
I know this would be simps for showaco

i sugest-give us all needed files in one zip archiva with instructions for instalation.
thanks

Manilla Touchflo2d is now working on htc smarthphones for anyone interested. The layout is for portrait, but is has a xml file that you can adjust all the tabs, icons, text etc , so that it will view correctly on the dash/excalibur. Here's a link to all the files needed and a good thread on setting it up for smarthphones.
http://allshadow.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3354&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&start=40
The files and links are about half way down the page along with install directions and lots of screenshots.

Anyone would care sharing their xml for the dash? I'm not too good with those sort of things...
Cheers

If I install this do you know if I could still use sliding panels if I wanted.

Sure, if someone shoes me the way i'd be glad to contribute as much as i can!

Hey y'all
so,
while we're all waiting for our "Dreams" to show up on the 22nd, this would be a lot of fun to play with. If anyone figures it out, and could even just write down how they did it, I'd REALLY REALLY appreciate it, as I'm sure everyone else would as well. Thanks!

I've bn working on it for about 4 days now but I don't have alot of time. I know that show has been doing some work on landscape as well.

I offer myself as a test dummy for it. Just tell me what to do. It seems to be quite impressive. I hope showaco will come out with some good stuff

hey gorap, have you already installed it on your dash? You have to move the tabs first so you can see them. I've got some of the landscape values for home and weather. The programs page auto adjusts to fit I believe. The wallpaper background has to be widened as well(hh_fw_background.png).

[REQ] Themes for Touch HD?

Hi, I have seen that other phones have forum sections called "themes, skins etc" but not for the Touch HD, I wonder why?
So I'm asking if there are any cool themes out there for this device?
Probaly want to make one myself later also, I guess I can find a "how-to" here somewhere.
Right now I just think that to much is only meant for the "Diamond" that are out, even if the systems are pretty much the same but the screen isnt so results vary alot in quality of applications and themes!
So, more fun stuff made for the Touch HD!! =)

I agree with you! It´s about time to create a subforum called "Themes, Applications and Software".
There are signficant differences between Diamond and HD. The Stocks icon doesn´t exist for the Diamond, so many themes won´t fit in HD.
Besides that, if we have a subforum for themes and etc, it´s going to estimulate the creation of new themes dedicated to HD.
I vote for the creation of this subforum! =)

agree, we need that subforum!

agree too!!

i vote yes as well

why not use the themes that I work hard! to make

Well said! You guys should check out "Giznetic"s' themes - he's doing some great work on his thread..........

I´m sure Giznetic´s themes are awesome. But you have to agree that it would be nice if we have a subforum dedicated only to this.
Giznetic, your themes are just great! Keep on developing them. We love´em. And support us on this idea, ok? As soon as the subforum is created, you´ll be able to create a new threat only for you

guys i want i new sub forum just as much as you guys do... but XDA will not make one because I am the only one creating themes at the moment... As time goes on and more people develop then they will add it....
but for now I say!!
ADD it XDA!!!

HD Themes
Hello there,
I`m new to this forum. I got my HD two weeks ago and I`m allready bored to see the old TF3D face, so I search the net and found: http://www.actualitemobile.com/forum/index.php/topic,6485.0.html
There I found some of Giznetic`s work.
Well done!!
Respect for all of you who make our device look and work nice!

I'm totally agree! It's all to confusing, especially install/uninstall themes to HD!

I vote too!
If you go to the thread "your HD screen" I can see that others as started to skin so I think they should share it for the good of everyone
@Gyznetic: thanks for your hard word man!!

yes... I'm totally agree too. pls create the sub forum

I'm totally agree too!
to Gyznetic: thanks for your hard work man!

I also got bored with my TF3D and wanted some new skins and stuff.
In essence you all are right, but you can use almost all the TF3D skins, icons, buttos, curtains and sliders from the Diamond. Clocks (especially analog) don't work to well.
Just try here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=441
Even so....an HD Themes Apps and Software subforum would be greatly appreciated !

let it be
This is my vote for HD themes subforum!
PS. Giznetic you are the man! Hanackin and lagunadub, thank you for your "[TOUCH HD] Collections de Themes TouchFlo 3D"!
But how can I put all your "thematic" manilas to one .theme file to simplify installation?

yes please,
tho the Themes sub-forum....

Djoub's Themes for HD ...?!

As I was googling around & searching for themes for my HD, I passed by some excellent themes that were created by Djoub..
Truely amazing themes with classy designs & vibrant colors, yet in cool style
Unfortunately, they were only for the Diamond!
Anyway,
Can you here me Djoub? Any one..?!
I'd really appreciate it if I could find some of his themes...

hmmmmmmmmm
looks like there's alot of interested folks but no actual replies or openions here....
Very well..
Allow me then to post Djoub's skin site for you to check out his amazing work..
The skins are compatable with Diamond but unfortunately not the HD

Oh well.. whatever ..

FINALLY !!
A reply from my favorite developer
Actually, I tried once experimenting on one of the diamond themes to turn it into HD's using manila editor... The new theme just didn't work !
I googled my way around to find out a way to adjust the bottom slider bar so that it fits the HD screen (basically that's why we can't use diamond themes on HD ) but found no answer what so ever...!!
Q: how can I adjust the screen dimentions in manila files so that it fits the HD screen?
Perhaps if I only knew how to do that... I might start porting some themes myself
mallman,
can you help me out here with a hint or two?

in my opinion the best way to do it is to grab his theme and export all the png icons out of it. Next you need to grab your HD manila files and start replacing them with his. With a little patience and just going one by one you will end up with his theme and it will fill your whole screen
You can copy and paste all of your manila files out of your \windows folder on your HD then point manil editor to those files.

oh and thanks for calling me your fav but i pale in comparison to what some of these devs do here.

& that's exactly what I tried to do in the first place !
last night I thought I'd give it another shot; I extracted all manila + png files from my HD, & tried to replace some manilas using the manila editor like I should.. But I couldn't
Every time I try replacing a file, an error message appears saying something like "parameters are not valid" !
I googled for a solution & I thought I need to update the .NET Framework & problem should be solved.. but it hasn't
I'll try again later... This is my project as a beginner in PPC world
Thanks mallman for your advice..

I am also interested to know if anyone has successfully converted Djoub's themes for the HD. Especially the Hell Theme.

Where to get a VGA Skin for CorePlayer?

Hi,
i have recently installed the last version coreplayer on the hd, but it seems like the original skin is only up-scaled, as the buttons look rather "unsharp". I'm satisfied with the skin itself (some buttons could be a bit larger though) and don't need special design gimmiks, but a bit better appearance would be nice...
although i've done some google and forum search, it seems to be difficult to find vga skins for that application, and on the developer's site nothing seems to be mentioned about vga or skin download...
so does anybody have a vga skin with full functionality or a link for a skin download?
regards jan

I've been looking for a decent skin for ages but after a bit of searching everything I find is pretty poor. I hope someone can suggest a source for skins because I certainly can't find any nice ones.

I would be satisfied already with the original skin in a proper (w)vga resulution... but the nicer the better...

I have attached the file. Unzip and read the .txt file. Credit to the other guy.

Thaks, but i've seen (and tried) this skin earlier...
...first of all it seems to be a qvga skin as well, as the buttons and backgound look the same unsharp like in the original skin,
... in addition that skin doesn't seem to work fully (for me), e.g. the "filter icons" on the left side are not displayed...
... so I hope more people can post links for vga skins...

I would really appreciate that work. I'd even try myself, but unfortunately I don't have enough time by now to do it... it looks quite complicated and I don't know much about xml...
... the problem with the skins posted on the previous page is that they all seem not to be really vga, as the buttons and the background look quite "unsharp"...
...another problem with some of the black skins on the previous page is that the filters and "current selection" are not nisplayed at all, at least on my device... with other skins it works...
regards and good luck
p.s. if you just need some help creating the buttons and other graphic elements in vga, feel free to ask me for support

Here is a little teaser
After an hour or so here is a very basic skin - it needs ALOT of work it's NOT FULLY FINISHED so when I get time I will polish it off nicely...
Looks a darn site better than the default one though.
Unzip it drop it in program files/coreplayer
Should keep your eyes happier while I try to get to grips with the XML

that looks really nice already... is the skin now a real vga one or an expanded qvga one?
the search bar for youtube doesn't work (at least on my hd), several functions are still completely missing (but you've written that in youir post)... but once again: great work, looks really nice already... if you need assistance creating vga buttons let me know...

Hugo Faria - HF Clear Theme for SE Xperia X1 + NEW HF Burgundy Clear

Hey everyone!!
My name is Hugo and I'm from Portugal.
I've just made a theme for WM and Christian's Rom for the SE Xperia X1
This is my first theme so be kind!!
DOWNLOAD LINK [Updated October 25th (colour bug fixes)]
----//----
This theme is based on the Classic Blue theme and the background is used under authorization from Trey Ratcliff pay him a visit, it's worth it!!
If you have any problems with the theme please let me know so that I can try to fix it thank you!
[EDIT 2009/10/25] I found a couple of issues with the theme and I'm in the process of correcting them, it has to do with some of the colours being displayed improperly, will update the download link as soon as possible.
oh.. and BTW, I don't mind if you guys link the theme in blogs, twitter or whatever else, but please don't just link the file, link back to this post, that way if I update the download link your posts will still work
[EDIT 2009/10/26] got a new theme for you, it's still a version of "HF Clear" but, as requested I've created a "HF Burgundy Clear" theme.
I think I've got all the kinks out and think it looks good.. what do you say?

you can check the screenshots in a post below

Glad you like it.. as for the builds it works with, well.. it's supposed to work with pretty much any WM6.5.x build since it's based on the Classic Blue Theme, I just messed around with the transparencies on some of the files..
I wasn't thinking about making a red/burgundy one, I guess I just like dark and simple things.. but.. well.. I'm looking at the device right now.. it would look good wouldn't it? hehehe

Hi Hugo, I am from Portugal too, and I really liked your theme.
I have a question, and as you are the only PT I've seen identified, I want to ask you something that is not really related to your theme.
Can you tell me if there is a good, stable, clean and fast windows mobile 6.5 ROM pt version?
I know it might be too much to ask, but a PT would be very helpful to me.
Sorry again to off topic, but I would appreciate your input.
Thanks (Obrigado).

I don't think that there is a WM6.5.x PT rom out there for the X1 but then again, I never looked.. hehehe mine came from the UK, I really don't like my software in Portuguese.. it's an old thing with me, when I started messing with computers it was all in English so I just kept with it hehehe
Glad you like the theme though I will be updating it since I've found a couple of glitches with the original one..

Hey man great theme, keep it up definitely loved it

i wonder though...with other themes I have, they have kinda rounded corners...like on the top bar and on the bottom...in the corners..

Doesnt matter what ROM you are using, it is a simple cab install...
Download the cab file (link on first post).
Then use your file explorer, or total commander or whatever file explorer you use...
Double click on it, and it will install on your device..
Then go to Settings/HOME/ and HF CLEAR or Burgundy will be one of your options in APPEARANCE....
then just highlight/select it and click okay...
And your Done!
