Sprint: Advanced Configuration Tool vs. Diamond TouchFlo3D Configurator Pros/Cons
 

Alright, so I'm trying to figure out what the differences are between the two and trying to gather information from people who have tried both. It seems like Advance Configuration tool is so much more detailed, but I don't know if 1/2 of the stuff on there is even useful for the Sprint Touch Pro.

Here's the link to the Advanced Configuration Tool:

Here's the link to Diamond TouchFlo3D Configurator:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...39&postcount=1

Can anybody give me some solid input into which is better/worse/etc...?

I currently am using the Diamond TouchFlo3D Configurator, but if the Advanced Configurator will allow me to do the same things as the TouchFlo3D Configurator (and more), I'd obviously make the switch.

Thanks for any and all input!

Bumping because I posted this last night and the thread got lost in all these other ones. If anybody (especially an advanced user) has any input, it'd be much appreciated.

I used both. They do different things

excellent observation Mr. Obvious =D> lol

I found that both do different things. why not have both?

how about a break down on what each does differently ;) that might help..

I have used the Diamond TF3D only to remove a tab. I think it is very basic - I did have to delete the tweaks file because of run time errors.
I haven't tried Advance Config because on this forum said to stay away from it. That it could cause major problems with your phone. I don't know that for a fact so I am willing to hear from others.

Thanks for the input guys. From what I've researched on Advanced Configuration Tool, it can rearrange position of tabs, just like Diamond TouchFlo3D Configurator. Can the Advanced Confirguration Tool also allow you to remove tabs?

have adv config but havent tried diamond config yet... the only problem ive heard about with adv config is that certain options may mess with a reg edit that keeps you from answering calls (using soft key on call screen) during data connections... but the solution is posted on baffles essentials page
i havent encoutered this problem cause ive only used a few options..

im interested in what diamond config has to offer too...


drex: yes, i removed the sprint tv tab with adv config

I've used Advanced Config briefly.

One problem that I have noticed is that it doesn't seem to manage tabs properly on the [Sprint] Touch Pro. For instance, it ALWAYS disables the Sprint TV tab if you edit the tab configuration, regardless of if you wanted to or not. Apparently it doesn't properly set the "page" value inside config file it edits for that tab, probably because the Sprint TV tab isn't in the original/GSM/non-Sprint version of the phone. For all the other tabs except the Call Log tab, it works properly.

I've also noticed that many of the registry edits it makes don't seem to work (Light Sensor settings for instance). The rest of the options are pretty standard reg edits that are useful if you don't like poking around inside the registry though.

I like Diamond Config because it's simple, but all I really use it for is to re-order how the tabs show up and remove the tabs I don't want to see. There are other things available on it that I don't use at all (date format, tweaks, etc...).

Anyhow, sounds like Advanced Config may be more than I need. Although, I'm curious if it'll be easier to grasp than Diamond Config. for all the other functions you can do with it.

If Advanced Config is still quirky, I'll probably wait until all the bugs have been worked out and a newer version has been released.

I've used Advanced Config for performance and usability tweaks. I removed the Sprint TV tab with it as well, and it can also be used to give applications like Total Commander, Contacts and Kinoma the ability to use the scroll wheel. I've never had any problems with it, but I don't change anything without knowing exactly what I'm doing. TF3D Configurator annoyed me because I had to delete the tweaks file to get it working, which disabled most of the advanced functionality that I wanted to use.

Make sure you glance at the Essentials thread for if you use the AC program and you get the bug you can't answer calls any more, the fix is there.

Nobody's done alot of research to see which option in Adv. Config causes it, but it's definitely a reg change for GSM and breaks CDMA folks. :)
