I just flashed my T-Mobile MDA Compact IV with the original Dutch HTC ROM. Everything is working perfectly except for one thing: I no longer have horizontal scrolling in TouchFlo. I mean, if I want to go from the clock to contacts, and I swipe my finger horizontally, it moves to contacts instantly instead of scrolling.
I already tried to disable/enable scrolling using Advanced Config, but that didn't help. Am I missing a settings somewhere?
This feature was removed with the change to 1.93.x.x Roms to speed things up in the interface. Trading off Eye Candy vs Speed. You cannot get it back short of switching to and older Rom like 1.37.x.x which was the vintage my unit shipped with.
(First of all, thank you for your answer.)
Too bad. Where can I find what the differences are between 1.93.x.x and 1.37.x.x?
if you cant live without those animations i suggest Swtos new 0.98 ROM with Touch FLO 3D 1.0. its fast as hell too!

It's not that I can't live without it, it's just that I really liked it... Weird though that they didn't make switching it back on an option.
Look into this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=421434
You can install tlr-manila.cab to enable it.
Thank you for your reply.
Yes, I had tried that already but not only will that give me back the scrolling effects, but the slowness as well.
I have horizontal scrolling with SwiftBL v6 1.93 ROM.
EDIT: Oh, you mean the animated horizontal scrolling, yeh thats gone but it feels faster without it.
this is really funny...
i've upgraded to rom ver 1.93 since day one of launch and still have the horizontal scrolling between tabs in manila....
been reading so many threads about the disabled scrolling, really wonder why...
even my wife's TD retained the scrolling effect after upgrade
and i've not tweaked both TDs after the rom upgrading
I hope HTC'll make an option available to enable/disable graphic effects in a next room (it'd be the same thing Sony Ericsson did with P900 to speed up the symbian OS).
Yes, It' true, now it's much faster, but I loved those stupid effects ...
---
Wait. I still can move through the screens sliding the tab with my thumb, but I neither have sliding effect nor fade effect for blocks background. This is what I call "graphic effects".
Zippy1970, your problem is you can't move through the screens sliding the tab with your thumb, isn't it?
well
Since i have my Diamond i Flashed Swift's 6.0 ROM and the TouchFLO Side scrolling is still there and the ROM is FAAAST

System volume is the default instead of Ring volume when you disable single volume mode.
Replaced New Contact Card application and ringtone plugin
Replaced media toolkit version - fixed contact and background image browsing and selection
Disable clock flip: Here is a thread where you can get a cab for disabling the clock flip. Apparently it reduces the memory usage of manila, too. Seems to work for both versions of manila: [MOD] Disable 01:02 clock flip in Manila 2.1 and 2.5

"UseService"=dword:00000000
Will be adding some others after testing......

Medium Version 2.3 bugs / problems:
1. Footprints tab can only be used for viewing footprints, not adding them.
2. Sunny animation on weather background on today screen runs slowly. Fix attached to this post.. tested and working! I will be cooking this into the next version.
NOTE: If you install a taskbar icon cab make sure it is compatible with the new versions of manila 2.5 or the volume app graphics on the music tab will be replaced with a grey bar on the left of the screen when adjusting volume.
Rhodium Version 1.1 bugs / problems:
1. While typing an SMS using WM default, pressing 'X' causes Showcase to appear and then disappear again, so it can't be used for switching / closing apps while typing a text message. Not sure what is causing this. Doesn't seem to happen in manila SMS app (Showcase displays correctly after a short pause).
2. Suggestions is missing from text input options for EZInput. A possible solution is to remove EZInput, since the default keyboard settings in WM works.

Other notes:
Battery usage is still good. About 15-20% per day depending on usage. Weather animations seem okay, pretty smooth once ROM has "settled", although the sunny animation runs slowly. Memory usage is still good, too.
Thanks to: Outie, Smaberg, Ervius, Bepe, jerpelea, Agent_47, Rotastrain, MrRusch and possibly some I have forgotten. This ROM would definitely not exist without your work, help and inspiration.
gonna try it as soon as dl will be available

thanks oobly
Good news!
I think I have solved the music glitch! Haven't spent a lot of time testing it, but didn't experience a single glitch in 20 minutes of listening. Problem is now the volume adjuster when playing music doesn't display correctly, but it still works. I really want that to be fixed before I release it since I think is is a cool feature.
I could probably make a patch cab to install the fixed file, but that would require SDKCerts installed (since the hacked file is a system file), so I think I will cook it into the next version.
Ok... it's really fast... not as fast as TouchX10.5 but much faster then any with WM6.5 & Manilla 2.1/2.5 (as seen on benchmarks)
fast camera (without bugs)
eyecandy
...
some bugs (Manilla bugs):
-choosing avatar/photo for contact in People Tab: doesn't work touchscreen, only hardware pad
-after adding a contact to HomeTab (only one contact) it has been duplicated many times (for every empty rectangle)
- HTC messaging doesn't work in landscape... (I know that Manilla is from Leo... I know... ) so maybe HTC Messaging Tab (pressing on SMS) could be changed to simple WM Messaging, which works great...?
-noringer/vibrate mode in CommManager
-maybe it could be done that volumeUp gives one +1 to Volume, now pressing VolumeUp Hardware key shows only Volume Control
-after soft reset binded left hardware button (show <inputPanel>) looses it's BIND for <Today> action
anyway Awesome Work... Thanks !

i've tried using pocketrar on device, and also 7-zip and WinRAR on the pc, each time CRC failed

Same here, link in post #1 (mega upload) says file is emporarily unavailable. Files from post #9 both corrupted.

WOW!
I've just spent about 2 hours getting my software set up and making the settings to my liking... gotta say... WOW!! this is kinda quick!! Will know more for sure when I'm out and about using it for satnav & emails etc.
Great ROM so far, only thing I miss (and it's purely cosmetic) is the new style email tab with the page instead of the envelope.
Good work, thanks
Hey, nice rom!
One question, I noticed that there is kinetic scrolling in this Windows Mobile 6.1. How did you get that? It actually scrolls pretty smooth.
Just tried the mediafire version and you're right, it is corrupt... I am so sorry for the inconvenience / time taken to download / frustration!
Removing the links from my post. Will test the upload properly next time before posting.
@cichy3000:
1. Choosing a contact works with the touchscreen, but selecting the contact image requires the use of the joystick. The same for selecting a background image for manila... working on it (it's a strange issue since I have replaced the album app with one that works with the touchscreen and it works on photos tab). If you have already assigned an image to the contact it gets shown fine without having to select a new one.
2. I managed to get the same behaviour... I think it is related to the home page links not updating quickly enough / properly. Adding programs doesn't seem to do it, though, only contacts. Will try to find out why and hopefully find a fix.
3. I will post a cab file in the second post that you can use to disable the HTC messaging app.
4. In "Settings" - "Sound and Display" - "Ring Type" you can select vibrate and ring.
5. Looking into the volume issues. Will try to make it like you say. Trying to fix the display, too, so will try to make this change at the same time.
6. Not sure about the softkey binding issue. Will have to test it myself. If I recall correctly there was some issue like this in another ROM, but I think it was the right softkey being remapped... will research it.
@Tri3Dent: I mixed and matched a bunch of packages to get this ROM working and I think it is the TouchScroll package which enables it. Anyway, hope you like it
Thank you for your feedback about this ROM. I will try to keep improving it.
Mind sharing the TouchScroll package you are talking about?
some feedback...
1 - nice and fast
2 - would like to see opera as default on internet tab
3 - after typing, pressing keyboard icon at bottom doesn't minimise, it repeats the last character typed
4 - changing ringtone in contacts doesn't save changes. can select another tone but once done is pressed it still says no ringtone. default main tone is used instead.
5 - would this benefit from manila 2.5.1921 newest build? (only cos i like the email tab)
6 - it's a keeper for now cos it's the fastest 2.5 rom i've found. Nice work, thanks for sharing and developing.
Hi, I'm using the Touch X 10.9 NUTS rom from MrRusch. But when I switch to landscape mode and I scroll through the tabs on the homescreen of touchflo 3d it gets quite slow and sometimes even starts lagging.
This also occurs when I try to type a text. The text appears very slowly on the screen. I know this is a common problem and I tried the fix sms lag registry thing, which helped to reduce almost all the lag when the screen is in portrait mode, but it's still there in landscape mode.
Does anyone else have similiar problems, laggy interface whilest in landscape mode but not in portrait mode?
Never... : p
Maybe a better place for this problem is the specific rom thread.. Why do you open a whole new thread just for a rom problem?
I flashed to this ROM recently: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=562935
It is by far the fastest Leo ROM i have ever tried, and though in landscape there is a really teeny tiny lag in switching tabs (seriously it's nothing compared to others) but there definitely is no lags in typing or anything else...! Give it a go! (BTW - i downloaded the 23529 Build...)
Regards.
I have used several custom roms with sense 2.5 and on most of them there has been a nagging issue with the photos tab. If I slide to the PHOTOS TAB in portrait or landscape it is fine but if I slide to the PHOTOS TAB in portrait then switch to landscape mode everything becomes unaligned. Is there a way to fix this?
In your chosen registry editor, go to:
HKCU/Software/HTC/Manila
and change EnableFullScreen to 1
After a soft reset everything should be fine
With a leo based manila build you can use this but then the rotation will occur in this tab as well as another,not advisable imo.
@porkenhimer, you mentioned this in my thread, I am unsure what you are experiencing as you did not provide screen shots to show what you are trying to explain...
Regards,
WC

Hi i was looking into the files of touchwizlauncher and widgets and all apks have landscape images, so it should support landscape? (JPH/JPC/JM8 i checked).
Even on JPC i had landscape for just a moment when i was coming back from a landscape app (couldnt reproduce it).
So there must be some setting to enable landscape...
is anyone interested and capable enough to look into this.?

Decompile the apk and check its manifest, does it rotate based on user,sensor...etc
You could maybe use this bug to determine what is being enaled to allow landscape.
I cant post a link as I'm a new user but the thread is on this site and the title is "Galaxy S i9000m touch wiz landscape bug"
