So, first the problem was "not enough ram" - HTC fixed that by putting more then a quarter GB of ram in a handheld. That's right kids, more then twice the ram needed to run a iPhone or iPod Touch, which is running MacOS X (sure, slimmed down, but you're running a darwin kernel) in 128mb ram....
Now, we have these cool devices with no ram limitations... but wait, it still runs like crap sometimes because in 1994-6 Microsoft designed the memory and process management system for a devices with 2-16mb of ram max, and figured "32 processes - that should be plenty" - so your nice massive ram device starts to freak out when you have 30 processes, since there are only 2 slots left... So you can pretty much run 3-4 apps and TF3d.
Yep, it's an issue free OS - for 1996.

This is the device your Operating System is designed and optimized for:

4mb ram. 80mhz cpu. 4 bit 320x240 screen.
It rocks that hardware. |
Don't forget, it's running slower with Touchflo 3d activated, turn that off and it runs much faster, as the resources are no longer occupied by tf3d. HTC even had it mentioned on their site that tf3d was utilizing hardware acceleration from a gpu in the TP and Diamond.
It's just unfortunate, that for many of us, tf3d is really the only satisfying interface add-on for wm right now. I've tried Bell and the new pointUI, and sure it runs a lot faster than them, but I really just love tf3d, it may be a resource hog, but you can still be running many apps at once and get good functionality, but we do of course want more.
I've been looking for a way to get tf2d on, but I have still had no success...I hear the of the people who have gotten it on their TP's, theyre screaming fast compared to tf3d.
