Why is it called Touch Flo 3D ?

---

Yes, why. It's not 3D. When it was a rotating cube, it was 3D, but now, it's all 2D !

Any idea ?

On the D2 they refer to it as Enhanced TouchFlo 3D .... hmmmm

If you scroll across the banner then you can't rotate like a 3D surface. You simply reach the end like a 16th century ship sailing off the edge of the flat Earth.

I think you have to imagine the 3D .... along with the configeration options and flexibility with 3rd party products.

I think it's just the 3D animated effects, for example when swiping through text messages & emails, and the flip clock.

Back when I had my Kaiser, these were the only differences between TF2D and TF3D roms. So yeah, not really that 3D I guess.

TF3D was used for original Diamond, so I guess the new TF3D for Diamond2 and Pro2 with extra features & functionality is 'enhanced' TF3D.

It's just a name some HTC guy invented. That's all It could be 4D if they wanted.

Maybe it has nothting to do with depth, but is it call 3d because it's the third installment of touchflo ... the next version is probably called touchflo 4D then ..

Maybe they use the programming API for the 3D Ati extension, what's it called OpenES (??) for the GUI.

I know for sure SPB MS 3.0 uses 3D acceleration for their GUI (Carousel Mode) and TD2, HD is able to use the acceleration. Had a Asus P565 and HP hx4700 which does not use the 3D acceleration during the carousel mode.

3D is an abbreviation for "3 times more Demanding on your RAM"

They actually use the Vincent OpenGL ES API since TF3D.
The clock, the image transitions, contact flips, ... are all 3D.

Why is it called 3D while you still can't see 3D ?
Because the screen is 2D ... quite normal :)
So why do they call it 3D ?
It's like saying a 3D-game.
Everything is calculated in x, y and z parameters, but are translated into 2D graphics to display on your screen.

my question is not "why is it TouchFlo 3D" but why "Manila"?

the weather and the images are in 3d
