Differences between Manilla (TF3D) and Rhodium (TF3D2)?

tehxeno · #1 (**permalink**) 08-07-2009, 01:36 AM

I've been wondering this for a while now...
What are the minor and major differences between these?
From screen shots the only thing I've really noticed is that Rhodium seems to be landscape instead of portrait... but I haven't really tried any rhodium ROMs.

the things i know different about rhodium is:
rhodium 2.1
more tabs
able to remove/add tabs to your liking
rhodium 2.5
shortcuts on the home screen

i dont know much about rhodium 2.1 or 2.5 as i dont have it installed on my tp but i like 2.1 better because i dont like the shortcuts on the home screen

tf3d2 also has the stocks tab, and the stock theme is gray instead of the colors and stuff for tf3d (although you can change the manila files to suit or icon needs)

Other than those I don't think there are many more differences. I also think the 2.5 is ugly looking because I don't want some random icons clogging up my wallpaper when I can just scroll to programs.

But then again, I've been using titanium for so long that I don't see myself ever going back to tf3d except in some cases when I just feel like switching today screens for a small change.

The texting interface is the largest and best change in my opinion.

Coupled with the new contact manager and facebook integration, the texting interface linked directly to Manila2 is the only real reason to use it. Contacts receive five tabs. One with their contact details, one with a threaded texting interface, one for email, one for facebook, and one for call history.

2.1 has been officially released with the touch pro 2, and has been ported as of yesterday for VGA phones. Definitely more stable than 2.5. Try the latest EnergyROM for a taste of 2.1. It's really fast and stable.
