Just a quick question. I have a diamond now and am thinking of buying the new Diamond 2, but I want to make sure that some of my favorite VGA games and apps will continue to work on the new phone.
When running on the diamond 2, does the screen get stretched on a game that doesn't support the newer 480x800, or does it remain the same with black borders on the sides?
Thanks for any help in advance.

I swapped a TYTN2 for the TD2, and most of the progs and games I had before work fine. TomTom, googlemaps,tomeraider, Lexionary, were all fine. Some would not work at all. I was using TCMP, this refused to run at all, I upgraded to The CorePlayer and it works fine.
One game collection that looks a bit weird is Jaybot's Gamebox Classics. The game play's ok but there is always half an inch of the TF3D today screen visible!
as Tonyh said, most apps will run fine. And for any which are solely designed for VGA you can use this fix:

which changes the Topaz resolution back to the old VGA form.
Thanks alot for the help, I love this forum.
I did see that app before about changing resolution and I wasn't sure how well it would work, but I guess I can't resist picking up the Diamond 2 any longer anyway.

Anyone tried install Touchflo 2D on Diamond? I think it is a good idea to replace Tf3D by the 2D counter part, as it will speed up the system quite a lot.
i dont think there is a dump of that rom yet, the viva is not out for a few weeks, but i have been wrong before.
Speed up .... actually the TF3D is using the dedicated graphics processor for it which is there in the phone, and replacing by 2D you'll max get some extra free RAM. Other than that, try like SwiftBL ROM or Duttys ROM (using it) which have super fast TF3D, and you really do not want to sacrifice all that 3D beauty
Besides, I guess soon the Touch HD will have a better/updated TF3D which I really hope the hackers/coders will be able to port it for our Diamond .... if I am right.
Just do a search, an installation method has already be posted on the forum. But TF2D is QVGA.
install this cab and tf2d is on your diamond...

This is not TF2D but the old HTC Home today plugin.
omg... i keep asking the same question... keep getting the same responses...
"why do u want to... diamond has TF3D"
to be honest i like TF3d but... 3 screens are slow...
Emails
Photos and Videos
MP3s
if we can integrate these to the TF3d interface i'll be a happy man...
i like the look of contacts and the weather... so happy to sacrifice...
someone needs to port it accross...
TF3d is faster now with SB's rom but not as smooth and responsive as TF2d manila >.<

exactly! 3D effect is nice but the flipping envelop is really unnecessary.

well, since Diamond is not on sales in the USA yet. I think there is a chance that HTC will upgrade the ROM again.

in a perfect world... HTC will release TF3d for our diamonds with the option of choosing 3d/2d animations...
i gasped at when i saw how fast photo flicking through the 2d interface was/is!!!
i know thats not going to happen...
so hopefully some rom cooker can make this happen !
bump .....
Is this possible for you guys to port or extract TFL3D to the X1? TFL3D is actually a program running ontop of windows. and i dont see why it cant be done on X1, since both running the same WM.
is it ported to other devices?
theres your answer
is it ported to other devices?
F..King dumb question
Of course its not converted to other devices, as they dont have the hardware for it to run smootly exept on kaiser that i know, but THE XPERIA is SOMETHING ELSE because it has the same hardware, 3D chip and the same motherboard as the diamond......
please read in the forum......
as i am also looking for touchflo 3D to my upcoming SE X1...
Well I tried to install the QVGA version on non HTC phones and it did not work.....
So mayb I did somethin wrong....
The best bet would be if someone could grab it from a touch HD, as is runs the exact same hardware, including the WVGA screen.
Touch Flo 3D (Manilla) From Touch HD
Good news for all Xperia owners. I have Touch Flo 3D (Manilla) working on the X1. The Manilla software came from the Touch HD and works very fast. Weather works as does the audio manager and photo album. I can't fault it so far. Great to have the best of both worlds. I will package it up into a cab and post a link soon - maybe tomorrow.
Nice. Can't wait to try it out.
Looking through the registry on my X1 there are keys there for TFLO in HKLM/Software/OEM
ive been waiting for this since i got my xperia on release day. Every xperia owner salutes you!

I hope u can share with us all =)
Its a shame the panels seem to be so poorly written. They should be silky-smooth with 3D acceleration.
I certainly am disappointed from the videos I have seen and if I did not know the specs, I would be thinking its no more powerful than my Wizard. Theres still even the lag rotating the screen when you open the keyboard. I expected it to be a lot faster and smoother especially for the price.
touchflow will run on htc hd extremely smooth and fast.
htc has got 480x800, too. so i will beleave, that in near future, touch flow will be downladable in wxga res.
(sorry i meant wvga, lol)

I am still working on this. Need to get the album and audio manager working. Also having trouble with landscape mode - don't know if Blackstone actually has one. Also trying to put in comm manager, phone and volumes controls. It is worth the wait as Manilla is not complete without these components!
Good on you man! I am patient and am willing to wait. Many thanks dude!

cheers mate, looking forward to this as im also working on the same system got the album working now, but can't initiate camera though manilla still wont show programs tab!!!??? volyme working, but the se commmanager is working with manilla perfekt, also a little confusing text in the mail tab as it looks both thin and thick at the same thing???
how is it for U?
Hi,
Can any expert on here cook a rom for the X1 that has the HTC Touch Pro TF3D interface? I have the one that Jack made, but the landscape doesn't work. I saw a friend that has the Touch Pro and it works really well. Can some one please see if they can do it for the X1? It would be much appreciated.
Thank you & Happy Holidays!
Well you can always try the Raphael "action screen" Cab, it's VGA only though..
If it works it would be easy to cook in, but I can't see anyway it would automatically know when it was in Landscape.
Thanks for the info. I guess we will wait. I am thinking about switching back to not using TF3D. Maybe flash a lite rom and install the panels. I find spb really good, just not as flashy and hip like TF3D.
For the TF3D is so fast and smooth on the X1, I don't mind that it doesn't work in landscape.
However, of course it would be great to have a working landscape TF3D.
A serious question, but why would you want TF3D in landscape?

That just seems a bit chicken an egg.
I don't ever use TF3D in landscape so my screen never is 'fu up'.
Hence I don't worry that it doesn't work in landscape..
Omnia 2 TouchWiz 2 got a really nice UI Check the video out:
http://wmpoweruser.com/?p=5966
Thinking whether anyone can port it to HD
probably, but imho i think manila 2.5 is better. The colors in the interface are so weird. bright orange with black ><

Maybe it's customizable
hmm if the colors are customizable, i would want the top interface of manila 2.5, with the omnia 2 interface under it.
I think it would be awesome to have multiple choices for User interfaces so this interface would be a great addition for our HDs. Plz great devs do something about it
Check out FE Widgets: http://pocketnow.com/wiki/FE_Widgets
It looks kinda like the Omnia UI!
Tried it a few weeks ago, it was ok but not that great...
So no one is willing to work on it ???
is there a rom dumped anywhere from the device?
i would rather have the touch flo on the omnia 2 . Is that possible? That oled screen is awesome. Not 2 menton 800 mhz processor and 8gb storage. Thinkin about getting one on ebay for 680.
I think we have to find a dumped rom first to start with this project.

come on
it's looks like a toy not a professional phone.
you cannot compare it with TF3D
I Have the HD and my only complaint is that i can't get 3G due to att band freqs. But i knew that before buying the phone. Last Month I bought the samsung jet which uses the same tw interface. I returned it. Not that i disliked it . But I just prefer the touchflo 3d. Its more business like. But i gotta tell ya. That AMOLED screen is awesome. It puts any TFT LCD screen to shame. (And i Love the htc touch hd screen).But the AMOLED screen Everything just looks better. Images just POPS out at ya. I agree it does look like a toy. But the specs are awesome. In fact better than the HD. 800 mhz pros. 8gb buillt in stor. I should have mine my tues. Now if you could port the touch flo 3d to the omnia2 Then you have a killer device. and it have 1900 mhz band for 3g. Will that work on ATT?
just got my omnia 2 and this sucker can get 3g on att 1900mhz. yes it can. i still like the touch flo 3d better. guess i'll be selling my HD soon. i'll dumped this rom for u guys if someone tell me how 2 do it. And i would love to put tf3d on this phone. Video smoother. But audio is better on HD

Guys any update on this project, has anyone started it yet or not ?
Hi there! Im a newbie at WinMo. I used the X1 only for about 2 weeks. So I miss games and apps for it. I downloaded Assassin's creed hd, ferrari gt evolution hd...both work perfectly but they arent for X1's resolution! Crap! I cant understand why gameloft cant use THE SAME MODIFIED FILE AS ON OTHER WM PHONES AND TURN IT TO X1 playable...SOOO...maybe you windows mobile pros know how to change the cabs resolution? Maybe youve done it but i havent seen it in forums and stuff...
P.S. I love xtrakt so maybe there are any other games like that? I mean not the genre (lol), but the graphics are awesome.
You can't just change the resolution by yourself like that, but for many applications/games there are several different versions for different resolutions, i got assassins creed in full resolution for one.
Another "official" game like Xtrakt for the X1 (X2) is "Experiment 13" which is rather good as well.

When downloading/buying an app, look for the WVGA version. That is the resolution for the X1. VGA works sometimes, you just have a black bar at the bottom. Trying to play QVGA/WQVGA/SQVGA will just give you a headache
