hi all is their a way to get the MANILA ui interface on a none htc (WQVGA) device without cooking it into a rom, so just a .cab install or something like this...
my mate has a lg GM750 and id like to use the MANILA interface on it but their are no roms for this device and im pritty sure their wont be any made either as their crap phones to be honest. i would like all the stuff like ui, htc sms threaded, and all the rest so it looks as close to my leo(hd2) as possible
thankyou plenty upfront
if you want manila 2d theres some cab flowing arround the forums, you just need to resize them, if you want manila 2.5, you are short out of luck
ok im kinda a complete noob and wouldn't know what to do to re size them please explain which one i should download and a quick guide on how to re size
thank you, im sorry to be a pain
Grab a M2D (Manila 2d) cab for omnia's. They will already be set to wqvga.
thank you, where can i get the htc message layout twoor does it include it, my mates phone doesnt have treaded messages and he would really love it

Why don't cook a ROM with TOUCHFLO2D? Our Diamond could be faster!
Yeah this sounds like a good idea! I would personally prefer a blazing fugging fast 1.93 2D ROM than a sluggish 1.93 3D ROM... (Black Diamond theme of course )
i agree with you...
i use a ROM without TF3d (french Diamondstone rom) and i install Opal version of TF2d (found on this forum) and it work very fine, much faster tan the 3d version
maybe someone can try to cook this way.
it looks good on your device? since its qvga... or did someone edit it to work on vga?
o yar a faster diamond
just what i need..
the 3d is nice and all.. but after a while.. gets tired looking at it.. and besides the 2d version aint that bad...
and the analog clock is so much cooler...
Is there a VGA Version out?? I thought only for QVGA devices
I think 3d is fast enough and great for day-to-day usability?

Not with every Rom, so 2d is much faster.

Here's a VGA version. It's uncluding some bugs, but enough to try it.
You need to install the TFLO 2D version 0.9 or older!

You can edit the xml file and the images to customize.

thanks a lot bro!
It would be great to have ROM with TF2D! it will result in much faster diamond, extra stogare and memory.
hope one of our great developers will work on it.
cheers.
Faster perhaps. More boring and a step backwards, definitely! With so many super-quick ROMS for tf3d (Swift, Swtos etc), why would anyone want to do this? Too much time on your hands? ;-)

Because different people have different preference. Some prefer snappy performance before eyecandy, tf2d over tf3d, windows xp over vista...
While the new cooked ROMs definetly are faster than stock, the same cooked ROM with tf2d instead would be even faster while offering the same functionality.
The ultimate ROM!

I agree completely! With that kind of speed (like with the tf2d) this ui would be an IPhone killer...
The only thing I am wondering about is, that nobody (as far as I have seen) yet inlcuded a proper SMS (only) Tool (like in iContacts, but without the contacts), because the WM5 version is indiscribably bad..
To bring it to a point (and I hope this is not too far off this topic): Why has nobody yet created a rom that comes standard with S2U2 installed and something like iContact (which directly replaces all the WM5 contacts and the links i.e. from tf3d / tf2d) and a Programs/settings views like in iPhonez(but only that part not the whole iPhonez, we want a killer, not a copy!). and last but not least something like a proper touch-fileexplorer like resco explorer2008(i simply mean the size of the file entries and a little revamping of the original fileexplorer, maybe there is one already?)
If a ROM like that would be put together well (and one of these capable cooks are able to include these tools much deeper and better than when a user installs them into the ROM) we could finally beat the iPhone! (I know its not about beating the iphone, but fact is that the diamond has one nice tf3d tool on top of the same old WM5 which in its original rom is slaggishly slow and is then supposed to beat the well thought through iPhone?? Of course not! there is no alternative that brings the same quality of UI - YET, BUT:
All these great programmers that took their time to create good apps (like iPhonez, iContact, ThumpCal, S2U2, etc..) if (and I know it probably is a challenge to get their agreement to put their stuff in a rom) this would be put togethere into one well made rom, the diamond would be unbeatable!!!!!!
Then get this ROM a bit known as the iphone-killer and this will be picked up in the public a bit more.. finally it could turn out that all these nice programmers get a big bunch of money so that their stuff or a version of it will be used as a permanent part of a stock rom and we all are happy because we will have the best phone ever, made by the people for the people! WHAT A VISION! and its realistic, too! Let's go and use the synergy of all the great cooks and developers and create the SUPER-ROM!!!!
I am ready to pay good developer 50USD to include the existing tools into a personalized ROM, just to have something that prooves the idea and convince the guys to give their permission. (and also to have that myself! )
So who wants the ultimate ROM!!
avers can u give us all the edited files of the tf2d vga u are using ? thanks

Greetings all!
Am new to the Touch HD section and so have a few questions,
I used to have a polaris which i flashed and fooled around with pretty often.
However with the Touch HD im more nervous!
The main thing that i want to do is to change the TF3D icons into the iphone icons, (i dont want an i phone i just like the icons), on the polaris i could juts change the files in the windows directory and restart,
My question is can i use the same files for the Touch HD, only reason im asking is becasue im used to qvga and am now a WVGA user!!
Any responses would be greatly appriciated,
Thanks
GBDS

These are all theme files and .manilla ones,
Im tlaking about getting png files and editing the homesettings.xml,
Is this the same on TF3D and it was on my Polaris's TF2D ???
Hi every1!
This is my first post here on XDA and I'm here to bug you a 'lil... xD
I got Hermes maybe 10 days now and already made him sexy, specially cause of this ROM! Good job miffymiffy!
...Even if Manila isn't made for this "weak" HTC, this version here works almost perfect for me (well, how perfect can be Manila on Hermes? )...
First ROM i installed was also Manila, but my phone was sooooo slow and buggy...
I have some questions regarding this ROM.
1. On this TF2D menu, I cannot add programs/apps on the programs tab, also, people tab isn't working (I cannot add ppl to the menu). Can I do something about it to make it work?
2. I cannot manage soft buttons. Default ROM left button (i think) needs to be calendar and the right one iContacts, but I got "Phone" and "Programs" buttons which I cannot change (even with Soft key manager app)...
3. When I turn on my Hermes, it has around 19.XX MB of free RAM, but if I play around with my phone, it drops to 9MB... Why is that?
Would flashing the ROM again help to solove this things above?
Anyway, I'm glad that XDA exists otherwise I would be bored...
P.S. Do U suggest some other (better maybe!?) Manila TF2D ROM...?
Cheers everyone!
I can't help you much with the issues, but I can suggest a couple of ROMS. Josh & TAI both have light Manilla that look good. I personally don't like manilla ROMS just because they hog system resources. But check those out, they were pretty sweet.
Well yeah, I also hate Manila cause it slows down the sys, but I'm addicted to it and NEED to run it...
I simply love this kind of flash interface...
hi everybody is there any way to have the new manila 2.5 as a cab installer and then as a panel like i used to do whit manila 2.1? thanks
I wonder if that's possible? But if yes then that would be really nice.
This is a really good idea...who can help XDA members?
Actually I can't recommend installing TF3D by cab, because it consists of a lot (and I mean a lot, certainly 2.5!!) of files. And installing it by cab will make a huge impact on the system.
The first TF3D for X1 was available as a cab, but the diffence between installing by cab or cooked in where huge. TF3D by cab had all sorts of quirks and was slow a h*ll.....
FOr example, the manila 2.1 package alone is almost 40mb (and 2.5 is even bigger) so you end up with a cab of about 50mb.
But back to the point, haven't seen a cab of manila 2.5 (and there probably will not be one for the above reason).
thanks Lokatho for the esplaination, btw now that i know about the problem of a cab i was just wondering if a rom with a manila 2.5 PANEL could be built...

Make ROM that will preserve all user info and programs and i will update immediately.
Flash a ROM!
It would be really pointless to have a cab of 2.5, it would slow down your whole device and would barely run!
if you want 2.5, to the easiest and best way, flash to one of our chef's great ROMS!
I think that Valkyrie 3.2 is the best....but there are others....like NRG's wwe energyrom....and ITJE TOUCHIT LEO...
if you want 2.5 you need to flash!
and as far as a panel goes...it would be relativley pointless if you are already using 2.5 as your homescreen....
and if you are a NEWB....you should look and search into 2.5, the threads and roms before opening relatively pointless threads...
just my 2 cents

You are right, apart from the fact that (as stated out in my recent thread) you are supposing that everyone is in love with WM6.5.
I was looking as well for a cabbed Manila 2.5 to install it on WM6.1, so it would really be great to have it (or, have it cooked on a WM6.1)
there are modules and dll's for the new leo which wont work on 6.1
there is a manila 2 cab
linkt to thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=448178
its a bit confusing, you have to download EnableRapi.cab first and install it. (in wont work the other way around, i tried it.
than you install the new manila 2 cab to internal memory. (that takes about 2 hours + in the tread are 3 different manilla cab files and only one has landscape i think, the beta3 but just use my link)
i have direct links to the files
EnableRapi cab: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=300592 (you have to scroll down a bit till you see the file)
manila 2 cab: http://rapidshare.com/files/218194087/TF3DHDB3.cab
and about the speed of manila 2, i have it installed one week ago and it crashed 1 time so far because i pressed accidently on picture presentation and than on weather tab and than switched to landscape (that was too much xD). and tabs like programs, settings and weather always take some time to show up. (about 2-4 seconds) all other tabs are fast once they loaded the first time. landcape switch takes always around 4 secounds, never longer.
and someone said its a huge impact on the device to install a 45mb cab file, and that might be true, but i have installed like 3 different manilas and this one 3 times (and uninstalled again, it never worked because i always forgot something) i never hardresetted the x1 after all the installing and it still works quiet good.
forgot to say, its not a panel, just a today element. and im using winmo 6.1
Thanks to show them how to install manila 2.0 on Wm6.1 but they search a cab for manila 2.5
yes, i understood all you're saying, so i know that a rom with manila 2.5 in it will run better. Now that i know it, i'd like to know if with a rom like this will be possible to run the manila as a panel instead of run it as the standard today screen. I want this option just because i like to change today home screen very often and also because if i have manila 2.5 in use in the today and i open another panel, it will still run in backgroung, making the whole phone go slower...
(sorry for my bad english :S hope you'll understand it...)

Miri did a WM6.1 ROM with Leo
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=547278
I want to create a rom that is just based around TF3D, i have tried so many times at creating my own, but my laptop just messes it all up (seriously have no idea why) it crashes and comes up with loads of errors.
I want to make one that only has the following programs:
Opera - any version compatible with tf3d
File Explorer
Office
Notes - no OneNote just notes
Audio booster
Windows Media
Album - Do we need pictures and video?
Camera - obviously
S2U2 - users can install the manila style theme
Youtube
We just need the pure basics no internet explorer or anything like that.
i will be more than welcome to help graphically as much as i can and im sure that other members would love to see this ROM.
Also none of that stupid windows with the start menu at the bottom....its crap! please post here or private message me and thank you for looking
come on people!
over 100 views n no takers
Im in!
There is so many out there but they all have their own bugs but nothing only for TF3D.
I would love to see it happen and am happy to help you out but i dont know much about the cooking process...
You may try the kicthen from lobsterdave, simple and logical (add only the packs you want to) otherwise seek after the lot of "clean" ROMS and use one of those.
Or any other kitchen. I'm a big fan of this one:
