Touchflo 3 and Manilla 2D Questions

happytang · #1 (**permalink**) 09-22-2008, 03:19 PM

Sorry guys,

Did a search, but there are too many irrelavant threads to find my answer.

This is what I understand so far:

Touchflo 3 is known as Touchflo 2D for the Touch (Vogue)

Here's my question:

What exactly is Touchflo 3 and Manilla 2D? Are these the exact same things? One of the roms shows that 2 of the cabs included are "Touchflo 3.0" and then "Manilla 2D"

Does that mean that I need to download both, or...

I just want to know what exactly is the difference between the two. I'd like to use DHarvey's Black Vista ROM, which doesn't have these integrated yet, but am not sure what I need to install / download.

Touchflo 3d and touchflo 2d function the same way and both were developed by htc. 3d for the new high end of devices (touch pro, diamond, and hd) 2d for new low end devices (Opal). 3d is more graphically intense and looks more impressive, while 2d scales back any 3d graphics, as well as moving images to ease the restraint of having a device with less memory, slower processor, and/or different drivers. There are currently no version of 3d working for the vogue (or at least in a usable form.) If you are still wondering look up the youtube vids and see the difference. It is easily seen in the changing of clock time and the weather.

Also, Manila was the code name for Touch Flo 3d before its release. Use of Manila in conjunction with 2d was done after the fact.

I think this may be the answer your looking for:
Touchflo 3 is a new version of touchflo.
Manilla 2D is basically a very fancy today plugin.

Touchflo3d is the one use for the Diamond and Touch Pro. It's 3d coz those devices has 3d drivers.
the Touchflo3d version for devices without 3d drivers (Touch,Mogul etc.)is called touchflo2d aka manilla2d. it's 2d coz it does not animate like the 3d does.
Most thread like mine use the refference touchflo3d coz it the UI known and it got stock on that name.
SO if U see touchflo3d or manilla2d, Look on what devices it's under.

Hmmm.. Ok thanks. I think I get the idea now.

That being said,

If I wanted to use DHarvey's Black Vista Rom with TouchFlo 3, does that mean I should be looking for the TouchFlo cab or the Manilla Cab?

What device the ROM is for? If it has the tf3d, then U don't need the manila coz it's already built in. tf2d is manila2d
