you must have never seen Rosie working
but it looks promising, you are right. would be nice to have it on the blackstone.. but i am not convinced it will happen. :/

m900's UI looks disgusting

you already posted this same topic in all the Blackstone sections, why?

Looks bad imo, kinda like a beta for touchflow a couple of years ago. Also designed badly from a ui standpoint, most options like the album are full screen but effectivly only use 30% of it which is really inefficient and a waste.
Then again, nice find. Even tho to me its a failed attempt its good to see other manufacturers than HTC working on "fixing" WinMo.

it's definitely from the same authors of manila... lok at icons, shape and animations...
but really ugly

I quite positively hate it, seems awfully counter-productive to me. Manilla is pretty quick to get to your essential items like sms, contacts, email, weather etc, but you have to click all over the damn screen on that.

Anyone have a CAB of this

Looks terrible I would prefer to use titanium and I hate titanium quite a lot.
Manila for me please

The globe showing the location is alright but a novelty. On the whole I would say the interface is crap.

it s*cks bigtime

I like the concept, and quite like the design!
Without wanting to change the topic, I've begun - after trying perhaps 20 ROMs - to begin to wonder what's the point? Shave a bit of memory here, add or remove a program there - they are all much of a muchness (and that's not to give any disrespect to the aptl-named chefs, I am very much in love with some of them!)
But what I would like to see is more innovative attempts at changing the GUI, and I find this a good alternative to TouchFlo/6.5/PointUI/Spb etc etc. and this would be a fun port!

It sure is innovative but...
Its design looks a bit crappy to me. And not really that productive/fast to use.
So up to now i'd stick with TF3D still... Having tried pointui's home2, TF3D, iphone, spb mobile shell 3 i'd say the top two in productivity and looks are iphone's and TF3D.
Spb mobile shell pretty close too but some stuff really turned me off about it.
This one doesn't get close to any of these overall in my personal opinion...

New TouchFlo 3D v2.5!!!

Check this one out TF3D v2.5. Hopefully can port into our HD
http://wmpoweruser.com/?p=5321

NRGZ28 as released a testrom with this manila but to much bugs,he as removed the link the same day,i think better rom with this manila as coming in the future

that looks really nice.
hopefully will see the new version incorporated in upcoming rom' s .

Looks like a natural progression of TF3D, and the start of the 'sense' version of TF for WM.
I noticed the option to add 'widgets' in there so that looks interesting.
Cant wait for a bug free version to hit our ROM's.

Really nice, but not as improved as HTC Sense (TouchFlo3D)..

Cant wait to cook this manila into my rom. Hopefully the big chefs with access to the leaks will share it and not lock their roms....
The contacts tab seems a step backwards for me though. Back to the HTC cube layout from a few generations ago.

i don't really like the square contacts... it's the same as the other UIs, like spb shell 3, the actual favorite contacts list is the best

i agree for conctacts

but i really liked calander tab and also home tab as well

I think that the best thing they included is footprints feature. I am not sure whether it would work well with gps that is used in Blackstone. New calendar tab is sweet

It already works on Touch Cruise '09, which probably uses the same GPS chip, so yeah, Footprints are going to work on the HD.
I'm more concerned about specs necessary to run this new version of Manila. Firestone has (if I remember correctly) a 600 MHz Snapdragon...

am i wrong or in the video in the link in the first post a HD? if that dude can have it why dont we have it?

600mhz msm, same video chipset. It should work without problems

I like this new manila

Can the new Manila still show upcoming appointments belao the clock, instead of those shortcuts?
And is it possible to get back the old contacts page?

if you want appointments and current and favorite layout stay with current manila lol

where can i get the cab?

This looks good.
Anyone got a link to that rom?
Or if someone cares to re-upload it
All I know is that it's NRGs rom.

Can someone build a rom with "programs" tab and "footprints"

Hi all fellow TP2 Users,
i have been doing my fair share of experimenting with all the custom roms available here on the XDA forums. i must say, i feel like i hit a gold mine by buying this phone and also finding this forum for support. however, i havent been able to find anyone on here that has built a custom rom that has both the Programs tab and the Footprints tab available in the rom. it would also be nice to have the twitter tab and manila tv player tab available as well. why cant these tabs all be incorporated into the rom and let us, the users, decide whether or not we wish to use them? its all about customization and user friendliness. someone please give it a try and lets see how far it flys or does it simply crash and burn.
also, anyone know where i can find a cab to add more squares to the home tab? being limited to 9 favorites of "anything" feels kinda restricting considering the capabilities of this phone!!
thanks in advance and any and all responses are encouraged on here and to my email.

Welcome to forums
There are several ROM´s with programs and footprints tabs
Just to mention one, look for Energy leo
If it´s not what you are looking for, the best way will be to contact a Chef and donate him asking your request

if u want those tab's, just use agent_47 latest ROM's
believe me, U wont regret
EDIT: oops a lil missunderstanding... was thinking about documents tab n footprints.
but still give Valkyrie a go

Isn't this because the footprints/twitter tab is a sense 2.5 tab and the programs tab is in sense 2.1? I think you'll get one or the other depending on which manila is in the rom your using...your home tab "favorites" essentially takes the place of the old programs tab

Ahh the documents tab...I've seen the screenshots but haven't yet looked around for any roms with it yet...I'll wait on nrg.

thanks for the tip on the NRG leo option. on another side note; even though im relatively new here i would like everyone to know that i am technically savvy and catch on very quickly. i can only hope that sometime in the near future i can contribute something of worth (besides a donation to a chef) to the forums and even possibly cook in the future. however, can anyone enlighten me on the "leo" "photon" differences in NRG's roms. if he has stated it, i mustve just overlooked it. also great props go out to his xmas theme and am gonna try his dusk theme soon.
i also wish to extend a great bow and offer up some kudos to two pump chumps roms as well. his roms are snappy and i love his choice of preinstalled features and games! these two chefs need to collaborate on a rom together! THAT would b awesome!!

Leo/Photon are his rom versions with different Manila (HTC's Custom Homescreen) versions cooked in. Leo has Manila 2.5 (with footprints, documents, twitter, and is portrait mode only) and photon has Manila 2.1 (has the programs tab, that card styled contacts tab, etc, works in portrait and landscape). See the screenshots in his threads to see most of the "layout" differences.
oh and dusk is not nrg's theme, he's just cooked it into his roms so you don't have to fuss with installing it...

Request to the Cookers (ROM)

Hello guys i just wana say something, and maybe some of the cookers who think the same way can cook something like this.
Here is full with many new ROM`s for our Blackstones but mostly they are with Manila 2.5 Sense and they are very very heavy ROM`s and not Run like it must to be on our device.. for that reason i use only ROM`s with 2.1 Sense because of the speed but even 2.1 Sense cant beat the speed and feel of TF3D 2.1.XXX so i know there is avalible ROM like this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=592632
from Topix but its Old Build, my question is can anyone cook a clean 6.5 Build for example some of the latest build from COM 2 21903 and to cook in the latest TF3D 2.1.XXX not sense anymore.
By clean i mean all files that the useless or all aplications that can be installed via cab to be removed from the ROM. Because some of the apps get updates all the time so you just can uninstall and install the new one via cab.. this can heppand only if the apps are not cooked in the ROM.
So for what im talking is a Super Fast ROM for everyday use, and on the same time good battery consumation, also everyone know how fast can be the old TF3D also i cant imagine a copressed TF3D with some other tweaks what will heppand... and how fast and sensitive will be.
Often we forgot that the main function of our devices is a Phone so often when there are heavy ROM`s the dialer is slow.. when someone calling you the respond is slow and things like this, what we really need is a Fast Device and fast Dialer fast response time when someone calling you to not have a delay and things like this.
If anyone who can cook wana make such a ROM will be awesome.
Thanks

I totally agree with you, would be nice if a chef could cook this up for us

Dude we talk about WWE ROM because i don`t understand anything from Italian

After many roms tested and tried (2.5), I was surprised with how fast 2.1 is. Never going back to 2.5 anymore. But I don't mind having 2.1 sense though.

Why to speak over PM for that reason i open a Thread everyone to can say what he/she think about this, so i dont mind to try the rom if there was avalible WWE translation of the ROM because i can see its good but what to do then? just Nothing.

Faster ROM is needed!!!
I was about to post something similar. Lately I've been quite disappointed with the performance of my Blackstone, especially the latest ROMs. I think too much attention is being paid to introducing new features from the latest devices at the expense of the speed. The lack of speed is quite frankly makes a device totally unusable despite all the new features.
To the OP: I'm not sure if it's a Sense/TF3D issue, as these can be either disabled or installed separately, but totally agree with bringing up the subject.

The most clean rom: Mario super lite (WM6.1 & WM6.5).
They are old builds but very stable and low memory & power eating.
I have tried most of roms from cookers here but always go back to these two.(Keep backups from two roms.) Now I using wm6.1 with SPB Mobile SHELL.

The TF3D is very very fast and Smooth so the diference is that the icons are not coloured but you can do it with a single cab also there have not my location service on the weather tab and you dont have the weather under the clock in the home screen but i ask myself HOW many times i watch the weather in the home tab under the clock? the question is Never all we can agree its more eye candy and beautyfull but is not usefull and many other things in the new SENSE are just for eye candy so befor a long time when i was using old TF3D i still remember for example when i tab to update the weather via WiFi the weather Update for around a half seconds WOWWW now with all the new SENSE things.. all the tabs are much more slower you need to wait the weather to be Updated and things like this.. Also i miss in the Album tab the Auto Rotation i can`t believe that this was removed from the new Builds because this was really usefull i mean when you click to see some image and you rotate the screen the image fit the whole screen really fast no matter how you rotate the screen, i dont know why this was removed...
Many peoples will say you can do this for example with G-config but the question is why to use 3rd Apps to make something that is made to be like this by default also the Auto rotation of the Album was really fast and smooth without delay.
Now with all this knowlage i mean the CFC Compression and all other regs tweak that we know and new Stuffs i can`t imagine what will be if someone create such a ROM WM 6.5 Based with Copmressed TF3D also can be compresed the Phone Canvas the dialer Images to be lighter and the whole graphics...to be compressed for example see the Blackstonehange ROM`s how they are smaller size than all other because of this compression of all images under windows.
This can be really a Rocket ROM for everday use..
There already have clean ROM`s without Manila and Titatnium.. Okay they are clean ROM`s but honestly is bored to use such as big screen without good UI and you need to use Apps like SPB Shell or other like that to have some UI because is ugly to have one empty big screen without a UI..
I think that the Manila UI is a good also the new SENSE is good but its not made for us.. and the Blackstone feel confortable with the old TF3D so with all this new things coming to the forum and all cooking expirience im sure that now someone can create really a Rocket ROM and you to feel Speed,Smoothnes,response time and to Enjoy the Blackstone to love to scrolling and to love to use it.. not to wait 5 seconds the Music in the Music tab to be loaded and things like this...
I Hope someone really to create some kind of HYBRID ROM from all the Best in one simple ROM

A perfect example of what we're talking about. I don't care about autorotations and stuff like that. If I did I would get an iPhone I guess . Speed and stability that's what it should be all about!

Ummm, yes...
I'm waiting to see what will happen here:
TOPIX_Kwbr_Win 6.5_Ver_21877 + TouchFLO3D 2.1.38411.0 (supposedly Kwbr will update this once he gets his HD working) and here: [ROM][WM6.5/6.5.x][21903/23116][WWE][UC] Clean ROM v. T1.0/B1.0*****03.05.2010*****
But I really like Manila 2.1.19212117.2 which is cooked in Wajk's ROMs.
It handles contacts and mail accounts much more to my liking than TF3D.
But I'll watch this thread too...

Which is better wad or spb shell???

hi I'm currently using spb shell 3.5 but I saw that there are very beautiful skin also for wad2. so my question is which is better between this two program??? i saw spb shell is more expensive than wad, but I want an opinion from those who have used their which is the most customizable? which is the lightest at the startup?
thanks a lot

I used both. Each of them can be customized and there are plenty of themes floating around for both of them (a bit more themes for wad). I sticked to spb mobile shell cause it seemed a bit faster on my device (HTC Touch HD WM 6.1) and i think it's more eye-candy than wad

SPB MObile Shell cannot be customized very easily, and one cannot create new widgets. Throttle Launcher is very easy to customize and also new widgets can be created easily.

going back to the main question: WAD is very good customizable but SPB mobile shell is faster.

I have been forced to live SenseUI free and have returned to some of my old skinning apps that I used pre-Sense. One of those is Wisbar Advance, made by Lakeridge who also makes WAD.
My recent experience with Lakeridge is they are dead. I made a few posts there and received no replies. My last post was a request for updated skinning info which has been there, unanswered, for more than a week. The forum is flat, there is no support there anymore and no one is skinning it anymore. Worse, all the links to old skins are all dead. Only a small pittance of skins that have been posted to Lakridge's forums are still available for it.
Because of this I created a skin myself, ironically enough. I actually released it today. Its here. Gratuitous plug: here is the promo flyer for it. But, I think no one is interested given the lack of activity around Lakeridge's site itself.
So a big caution with WAD. Its a dead end. Personally I've never liked WAD, I found it very buggy, but this was like 2 years ago. I have always liked Wisbar Advance though, and used it extensively before I got a HD2 and Sense.
That is not to say that SPB is any better, though. The difference is SPB abandoned their customers long ago, so nothing much is different. See the conversation I had with Vostradamus in his thread towards the end. Maybe because of this, the skinning community for Mobile Shell is very much alive here at XDA.
Now that I have been using Mobile shell for a few months, I have to say, thanks to the great artists at XDA, I find I like Mobile Shell far more than I like SenseUI. I will never be going back.

i like both...especially SPB mobile shell
