It's still beta version, I've read some people experince it - it's probably caused by EXE modification for compatibility with devices other than Opal.

It looks fantastic and mostly works on my Elf with Blue Elves 5.0. Can't get the weather, maps, browser and Youtube to work. Music works most of the time. Can't add programs to the programs tab, contacts tab works with contacts from the Cube, but leaves extra contacts unfilled, because the available number is larger than what Cube offers.

Hi,

http://members.lycos.nl/backuplam/upload_files/Screenshot.png

It runs very smooth on my HTC touch, but I not able to see the text next to icons in the home and settings tab. Also I have no options on the softkey bar, anyone know how to fix?

Tested on update 7.

Thank you

try disabling the cube (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=368269); then uninstall Tflo2D and reinstall it again, it solved the "contacts adding " and "Apps adding" problems.

Newb here, so please bear with me.

I have a Sprint Touch with WM 6.1 and SPB Mobile Shell installed.

Can the Touchflo 2D be installed with the factory ROM?
Does the media player allow you to display album artwork?

Thanks!!!

I;ve read a lot to understand how to install all this but it not seems tot work.

I just follow the manual but then the touch says its memory is full.. what am i doing wrong?

This is the greatest thing since sliced bread....well almost anyway..... :)

Works flawlessly on my HTC/Sprint Touch with wm6.1 and the latest STOCK rom.

One MINOR issue....cant find my city in the weather app list. I live in South Florida and the weather changes if you cross the street. Anyone know the registry line or the xml file that allows location entries?

Kudos to all the Devs who stayed up late to get this working....YOU GUYS ROCK!!!!! :)

hey guys i noticed that after running smoothly for time touchflo suddenly turns all black and all i can see on the bottom button is "all messages" and "Menu". Did anyone else face this problem. it happened with all the versions with me..:confused:

Can someone please explain me that how can i make enough room for this ThouchFlo 2D because i hard reset my Elf and it was about 26MB free but this thing keeps much more than that.. :(

I had to skip some of the files to install the whole thing..
Even i choose storage card as the aim of install it doesn't matter.. (I can understand why, but...)

I really want this 2D so bad, help!!!!

hi guys, work flawlessly on my touch elfin, have no issues with text or graphics. only sometimes, when it need to jump to normal controll panel or someting, it not jump at the first try so I need to repeat that command again. e.g. when I want to open messages or inbox. but anyway, it is nice piece of SW. :)

I had the same problem and i flashed blue elves ROM it covers about 4Mb of space.. and by that you can easily adapt ThouchFlo 2D to your device.. It works great at my Touch.. So glad with it now :D

Do you maybe have the link of the rom and is there an installationguide with it?

Because i never did that before..

P.s do you have the first version of the elf? ( 64mb/128mb...)

Anyone using this with Pocket Informant? When you tap on calender on the screen does it pull up Pocket Informant or the standard calendar program?

I've tried a few variations of Manila 2D on my original Elf ROM since last week. The main issue for us is that we do not have a lot of memory on the main storage to work with. Looking at all the file from the install, the animated weather files take up nearly 5MB of storage. Is there anyone here that would know how to modify the install cab so that those files can be installed on the storage card rather than the device memory. This would free up a lot of space for ELF users and allow our devices to run a bit faster.

I have tried to install just the basic files, and the only thing I get is a message saying "Tap here to run TouchFlo", I tap it and the only sentence appearing is "Loading TouchFlo" .....and nothing happen. Somebody could help me? Maybe I'm missing something?:(:(:(

Maybe...i think the answer is to change the rom and/or wait for a more stable version of manilla 2D.

I've installed v0.07 but... WM is slowing down, when connected to PC it almost doesn't respond... after uninstallation I had to hard reset my Elfin, because it was a massacre...

I was able to successfully move all the weather images over to the storage card. Simply create a folder on the storage card and move them there. You will have to change the main xml file which points to the images and change the location. Doing this frees us roughly 3 MB of space on main storage.

Is anyone able to get Battery Status or any overclocking program working with TF2D? I can't seem to get it to work and its a little sluggish at stock speeds.

EDIT: Just installed XCPUscalar...seems to be working but I really don't want to pay $20 for it. Any solutions for getting battery status working?

Thanks, works great.

New problem though, my audio manager doesn't seem to work. Music won't play on TF2D and I can't open audio manager from the programs menu. Anyone else have this problem?

Install SecondToday:

http://www.chi-tai.info/cs_wm_tools_im_cs.htm

Just de-activate BattStatus (or Homescreen PlusPlus as it's called now) on the normal Today, and activate on SecondToday. Job done. Hardly eats any memory as well

actually its in the RAM usage. thats why our devices will auto kill TF2D because of low RAM(shared)...

Another thing missing: on HTC Home screen you can add a button to quickly change the brightness of the display (just by clicking on it). On the program tab of manila I can not add this button. Does anybody have a similar app which I can use?

Basically find out the name of the file that is run when you click that brightness button. Create a shortcut of that file and put in Device\Windows\Start Menu\Programs and now add a shortcut in the programs tab of TouchFlo2D. See if it works.

thats exactly the question ;) I think the brightnesschanger is kind of a plug within the HTC Home Screen Programm...

You're talking about Manila? You can uninstall everything except DLL using "Remove Programs", works for me. But WM may still run slowly, then you need hard reset :/

I've been on this Update by Herg..

[UPDATE 16] September 26, 2008
http://rapidshare.com/files/148511224/0.09_M2D_FOLDER.zip.html works well on mine smooth, no lacking.. 17+ are not my favs cuz you'd need to make 2 icon files one to /Windows and another into ManillaGFX.. so dropin the theme into windows alond will mess it up and on top of that you'd need to rework the XML.. But still loving the work well done to make it possible..

And since then I've been making themes here ever since :)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=425974 Loving the 2D.. will soon be getting on the 3D once fixed to work well on my Touch and able to start on my themes there aswell.. Hope you all have a blessed weekend..

Sorry to be a little noob, I have been searching these forums for a while and cannot find an answer to these 3 questions. Maybe I am searching with the wrong wording. Here is what I am having issues with.

1) I installed manila 2d on my HTC (elf), but I want to remove it, after an uninstall it still comes up with the manila look, but has no sysetm at all running neither the manilla (opal) system or the htc standard elf system. ANy ideas on how to switch back?

2) I installed that popular system configuration utility, itsl like Syns Advance Configuration Utility or something, and it says I need a newer version of dotNet. Where do I get that?

3) I want to change the color of the upper start menu bar and the lower bottom of the screen bar, what app will allow me to do this?

Thank you for all your, help and I look forward to your noob jokes, about my inability to find these answers myself.

1) Change theme:
Settings -> Today
2) Schap's Advanced Configuration Tool. You can download .NET Framework 3.5 from page called GOOGLE. It will guide you to Microsoft site and download link.
3) Look @ 1). Bars' colors and wallpaper are described in theme. Download another one or find out (Google again) how to make it.
