Hi Everyone,

I created this separate thread as I don't want to mess around in the orginal TouchFlo2d thread as it already overhelmed so lets keep things separated and see where we go.

As I mentioned before I would like to try to port the TouchFLO 2d to VGA devices too and I hope others will find it usefull and help me with some things as it isn't as easy as it seems but the first steps look pretty good so lets see the first release:

[2008-09-24] - Ver 0.1
Done:
- All images have been resized
- HTCHomeSettings.xml has been rewritten so almost every tab works as it should

Not Working yet
- Clock is still in QVGA mode as it seems there have to be made some changes in the Manila2d.exe to extend the sizes
- Favorite contacts aren't show at first but you can drag the empty page upward and then the contacts will show up but if you release the screen they will disapear (not sure what the problem could be but will keep looking).
- Internet tab, the big globe image can't be shown but if there is no other way I will revert it back to the original size
- Photos & Videos, unfortunately it seems the area to fill out with the image can't be resized from the xml file so another change may be needed in the .exe file

-------------------------

IMPORTANT: please note this is only the main TouchFlo2d program, I didn't look in the other programs (like youtube) and addons that are available for the TouchFlo2d QVGA version, and won't do till first this part of the project is done.

NOTE1: Images are only scalled from the QVGA version but fortunately I was able to take my hand on a HTC Diamond and extract the images from there so hopefully I will be able to replace the images with the real ones and have sharpy VGA TouchFlo2d soon.

NOTE2: Tests are only done on my device which is a HTC X7510 with the original ROM (no changes at all) but I hope it will work on other HTC VGA devices too.

-------------------------

Instalations
IMPORTANT: Do NOT use this on non HTC devices as it won't work as I know!

To install please follow the steps here:

and after you have everything up and running (even in the little left corner of your screen but working) then download this zip file and extract the content to \Windows\ directory on your device.

Then go to "Start->Settings->Today->Items" and uncheck "TouchFlo" press OK and then go back and check "TouchFlo" again press ok and the full resolution TouchFlo should appear.

Hi Guys,

First of all thanks everyone for testing and reporting back, I updated the Not Working list on the first post (please note the sliding images only in QVGA mode is the same bug as the image isn't drawn on the whole screen, so if one fixed the other should work too thats why I didn't add a new entry for that) and added an update for the Non HTC devices as it seems the latest maniala 2d works with non htc devices to so happy testing

Regarding the process of this port unfortunately even with the Manila Editor I had to redraw almost every image to have it as I would want it, there are still a lot of images that have to be redrawn but things are getting to look pretty good, if everything goes as planed you should have a new version with new vga images in a few days and yes I plan to add back the original clock (digital) as it seems the analog's clock size can't be changed unless modifying the exe but the digital clock can be so adding back the original clock should solve both problems here

HELP is always welcome, the most important thing after the new images are done is I think the bugs and from them the contact one as it is useless right now so any of you could have some inside look into that or at least give me some points where or for what to look to speed up things it would be really appreciated.

Cheers,

- Last favorite program icons row cant be dragged up as it always slides back for some reason.

UPDATE: It seems the latest Manila2d (2d.Manila.Engine-Beta-0.09.cab) works with non htc devices too but please direct any question regarding installations and bugs (that have nothing to do with the theme modifications) to the original thread.
