Need help with Manila (TF3D) - Touch HD Themes and Apps

Hello guys.
This is my first post on this forum. so I hope i'm doing it right.
I have a HTC touch HD with the most standarg TF3D on it (Version : 3.0 build 32567).
I see all the screens of what you people did with your phone and I like it a lot. So I looked and looked even more on the forum.
And still i can't figure out how to get a nice layout as you have. First I thought I need to find new ROM (Manila) But then I figured out I have Manila becouse it's TF3D.
I just totaly lost it. Can someone point me in the right direction so I can get a new look on my phone with the extra buttons and collorfull taskbar buttons?
I know it has to be found on this forum, And im not lazy to look (did that past week) I just have no clue where to start.
Tnx All.

Hi there help needed!!!!! ( Newbie alert = first post ) Lol

Hi there ,
Just wanted to say great forum you got here, and would like to say already thanks for all the great stuff you got on here for my hermes.
already i am running wm6 (scnapps rom), with hard spl installed and radio 1.50.
Right here goes in at the deep end !!!!!!
has one one got touch flo working on there hermes as i really like the interface and the fact that you can control the main part of the device with the thumb.
If this is a double post or possibly a re run of another posting ..... sorry in advance.
And also thanks in advance
Alex Slane
Hi and sorry to bump up a rubbish newb post lol but would love to find a rom that Preferably has the touch flo installed.
Alex Slane
Hi Alex, and welcome to the forum. You may regret not searching round before you waded in with a new thread - don't be surprised if you get some flaming over it.
The TouchFlo has been discussed and worked on many times in this forum. At the moment, it is possible to get it "working", but you need to active one application (BioFlo) and then open TouchFlo with a hardware button - hence why it's been termed "ButtonFlo" for the Hermes.
Keep an eye on Dutty's threads about his ROMs he's working on at the moment - one of them mentions having ButtonFlo inside.
Short version, don't think you'll ever see it working fully on a Hermes, but you can get close to it with some work. Have a search round the Hermes threads for "TouchFLO" and "ButtonFLO" and get reading!
Enjoy.
Thanks for the post back stu ,
yeah i sure will get reading , i have checked a fair bit to be honest mate , i have been looking back and forth on the site for sometime , i made the post because i was seeming to see some conflicting info on here about the touch flo way of working the phone and just wanted some advice , sorry for any hassle mate and thanks for the heads up.
All the best

When I bought my first PPC, I didn't have a clue on how to mod it, or do any of the cool stuff I saw other people were doing. I read the forums for a good week, and tried to find out all the info I could. Afterwards, I tried a few mods and they worked! There were a couple of times where I couldn't figure something out, THATS when I posted and asked questions that were answered by forum members. You have to do some reading, research & experimentation about things first, you can't just post a general question and expect everyone to spoon-feed you the information. Read a few threads dealing with how to do what you want to do, use the search, and you will see someone has asked the same questions you have now. Download the .CAB files you need, and happy modding!
thanks mate
all i want to know is if i am using the right software i download something name the diamondtf3d i can chage the skin but the skin comes like half way down the screen i guess that because it was design for the diamond which has a small screen so i want to know if there is a version for the blackstone
Depends on the theme. Some themes can be obtained by just replacing manilla files in your Windows folder. Search for instructions in the appropriate theme thread.
Regards,
Carty..
thanks mate
well right now i am using a program name diamond tf3d config and the themes are coming like half way in the screen can some one help me plz
can the diamond TF3D config used to edit/add themes for HTC HD / blackstone? will there be any problem?
Using a Diamond tool on your Blackstone/HD could cause trouble because the screen resolution and size are way different (Blackstone 480x800, Diamond 640x480)

Probally the biggest noob question, but help would be greatly appreciated!

I just got my T-mobile Dash and I read around this message board and see all the cool stuff you guys do. Im not completely stupid (at least in dont think lol) cause I flashed phones before, some which turned out good, and some ive bricked (lol)
Anyways what Im getting at is a i want a cool home screen like you guys got. I think you guys are using "Chome" if im not mistaken? Where can I get it? Is there a specific one I need to get? Do I need to flash my phone or is it just like a .cab file that I install on my phone? What stuff do you guys recommend I get to just get me started on making a cool home screen? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks Again

All the 6.5roms have Chome. and they are very customizable. You will need to flash your phone if you want the full package. Check the sticky and make sure you do an application lock prior to flashing.. I personally recommend ookba's 3vo rom and edit everything with Roloracer's titanium filechanger. I also recommend you search this forum for the icon and background thread for some cool backgrounds for your phone. image size for backgrounds are 320x240
RE:
Hey I looked and searched around for the ookba 3vo rom and had no luck. Is It just a rom that flashes me to windows 6.5? Can the dash have windows 6.5 on it? are there any other things or steps I need to Do before flashing the phone? Do I need a program to flash the phone or is it just like a ROM you would download from T-mobile, hook up the phone with usb, an let the install do the rest? Please help. Thanks man.
Tim
you dont have to look very far, the rom is 3rd from the top of the list!

Very true. 3volution series rom's are the biggest thing since sliced bread here in the dash world. Let me answer a few questions for the thread starter.
Is It just a rom that flashes me to windows 6.5? Can the dash have windows 6.5 on it?

It is the rom itself that will flash you to WM6.5 using the fore mentioned thread will directly link you to ookba's 3vo rom for the dash. Additionally check the Sticky out. (the very first post) it has a list of everything im linking you too.
Do I need a program to flash the phone or is it just like a ROM you would download from T-mobile, hook up the phone with usb, an let the install do the rest?

You don't really need a "program" everything will come in the files downloaded from the 3vo rom thread. The one thing you will need to do is download and install an SDA application unlock found here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=355789
After that's done check out this thread on flashing for the Dash, its a little outdated but everything is the same. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=415225
And most of all if you need help you can PM me at any time. It'll take me 30 mintues at most to respond unless i'm asleep. If you check my profile you can get my aim and i can walk you through online while you do it. and if you really wanna break it down I can give you my cell phone number and we can talk you through it like good old fashion tech support.

TF3D2 Xperia Panel?

I've been looking all over XDA and the Internet for this one. There's mods for it, custom ROMs that use it, and even a utility to tweak it. But as many times as I can find it referenced, I can't find a TouchFlo 3D 2 panel for the Xperia. I am running this TF3D for the Xperia (thanks itje) as well as the extra Cab that turns it into a panel, and the workaround that makes it have an acceptable landscape version. Now, I've clearly missed something, because many other people seem to have this on their X1's with no problem. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Also, I am not interested in a ROM version. If that is all there is, then please tell me about it, but I would much rather have it in a cab file if that does even exist.

hmmmm this is where i got the cab and direction for manila 2.1 as a panel...back when I wasnt on 2.5 LEO
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=441439
this will more than likely get ya the same stuff though...to be honest with ya, you should take the plunge and flash a rom!
there are plenty that arent buggy and very stable
Thanks for the help. I had (as I thought) overlooked the obvious. Fixed up now, and couldn't be happier. And to your second thought, I have tried flashing ROMs in the past. Not difficult and relatively safe as long as instructions are followed. Frankly though, I think I'm one of the few who actually likes the original stuff. Reset it all to factory and updated to R3A, now I'm set. As it is, I needed it back factory to take advantage of the warranty; need a new one because of some pretty bad case cracking. Everyone seems to be familiar with that one.
Anyway, thanks for your help.

Yes I did search for hours!

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Just upgraded from Fuze to Tilt 2 on AT&T. I'm an amatuer but managed to flash my old Fuze, load weather master, use TF3D config and manila customizer.
I'm having a hell of a ime trying to get what I need for my Tilt 2 fresh from AT&T with WM6.5. It locks up constantly and is a real pain.
I want to see the weather on my home page which doesn't show now. I want to be able to add weather locations as I did with my Fuze and Weather Master. I also need to flash ROM, radio, everything on this phone to make it better. I need some guidandce on what the best options for me are. Please help with some links to where I need to go. I know how to flash I just can't pick what I need out of all of this info.
What's the best, most stable Roms out here? Radios? Weather editors? TF3D configurations? I can't seem to get my old mind working.
Thanks folks!

The weather on the home page is not included with the stock Tilt 2 Rom. You would need to flash one. The "best" ROM is subjective. What is best for me may not be best for you.
I suggest reading up n the differences between Windows 6.1, 6.5, and 6.5.x as well as the differences between Sense 2.1 and Sense 2.5
Then, determine which combination would work best for you and pick a ROM based on that.
Once you are done with that, go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550973

Yea Yea`
Don't tell me no one here gets zoned out and can't find something. I should have known to type "noob" or "mall ninja" in the search engine.
I'm old, I have one daughter starting college this fall and my 5th (yes I said FIFTH) GIRL on the way. Please have mercy on me. I rarely have time to do things for me so perhaps I give up a little earlier than I would have 20 years ago.
On to my next NOOBster question. Thank you Doinshots for your advice and that's really all I need. Last time I did this was with my Fuze when I joined this forum. I didn't seem to have any problems then but now I can't seem to figure out which one I should use and how to go about it. I will read everything and hopefully won't have to ask too many questions. Open forums are brutal!

I'm looking for screen shots from the ROM's available for my Tilt2 and anyone's opinion of which one they are using. I need it for business and play...any galleries here with pics for just the TILT2?
