is anyone willing to test the version for the older manila?
i have a ROM with the new manila installed now so i need someone to help me...

i need the following from the test user:
1. Backup your files first (not required but always recommended)
2. Carry a series of tests and report CAREFULLY what items are still green in TF3D


ATTACHED IS THE BETA VERSION FOR THE OLDER MANILA. PLEASE REPORT HOW IT WORKS!!!!!

it is being ported by xboxmod....
touch pro users have had a chance to taste it via a custom ROM..
for those who have it installed download from post 1.

If you have the normal manila (or touch HD port) download from post 10..
the normal manila version is a beta though..everyone who installs it please comment on how it works. (what green is left etc...)

I dont get this...or is it only me?! The touch pro 2 manilla is being ported.. I guess this means it is not ready and out yet. And you say that it can only be installed if you had installed the Touch Pro 2 manilla..??!! Why are you worrying about the green colour without the original available to people..? If you have the original, you should release that before the tweaked one.

The touch pro 2 manila is already available by means of a ROM (for the touch pro)
It will also become available for the diamond soon...anyway i wanted to have a headstart on the theme for those who want it (cooks etc)..

It seems that you did not read the thread carefully..since you dont have the manila from the diamond2/TP2, download the one i posted in post 10 (as i said before), which is SPECIFICALLY for the original one...so in other words the original IS available to people

as always i wanted to share my work in this forum, so instead of compaining about what i release first try to show some gratitude for the work i put in making this..i could just use it for myself and dont post anything but i didnt...

I've downloaded this, unzipped the files and copied them over to the Windows dir on the phone, also changed the highlight colour in the registry hex string to 000000 and then soft reset, hasn't made any changes.

Using ukD Syrius Topaz R2 which as far as I'm aware is not using manilla 2. Any ideas on how to get it to work?
