Re: Sprint ROM no TOUCHflo 3d!?
 

I don't think whatever we say will convince him.
The best solution is just let him flash a ROM without TF3D and let him be happy with the ever so slightly faster TP.

It's probably that he is still very much in the Mogul/Vogue state of mind. The "original" stock ROMs in those devices were slow and crippled (originally no GPS). Flashing custom ROMs made it an entirely new device.
The out-of-the-box experience with the TP is much improved. It's still nice to be able to flash custom ROMs / kitchens but you are not going to see the same magnitude of improvements as with the Mogul/Vogue.

Someone made a "nothing ROM". No touchflo, this would be a perfect starting ROM for the OP.

Just goes to show, the PPC GEEKS community has something for everyone :-)

Happy Flashing!

So any update from the OP? Did you flash your ROM without TP3D?

Did you see any speed increase?

I'm curious to see what difference it really makes.

Re: Sprint ROM no TOUCHflo 3d!?
 

It was a bit faster. However w/o any applications it was the SUCK. Lol mabey if someone made a just w/o the manilla and everything else i might use it. Because I use WAD

I think the majority view is you can turn it off. Theres more than enough storage space that leaving it there is negligible. If its off its not consuming resources anyways just like if you cook it out.

Set up explorer to show hidden and system files, and the folder will open almost instantly. The reason it opens slow, is it is processing the files to be shown vs. hidden.

I just learned that you can select No manila in Build OS. I might make my own rom and post it up here.

Re: Sprint ROM no TOUCHflo 3d!?
 

Well stop trying to convince him. I hard reseted and opened the windows directory. It takes 4+ seconds which is slower than the 1 second that others are reporting. After installing all my programs, it takes around 30 seconds to open. I know that something is wrong that is why I hard reseted.

I will install the programs 1 by 1 and see which is causing my system to complete bog down. I remember trying to install custom upper icons and this was horrendous as everytime total commander had to access the windows folder I would have to wait. I ended up hard reseting before installing the icons to see what the hell is going on.

I am using juggalo's rom btw.

Re: Sprint ROM no TOUCHflo 3d!?
 

I've made a few ROMs for my diamond without TF3D, and have been very happy with the speed and stability. You can make a ROM exactly like stock, but without Manila. Just take the ship rom, and decompile it with prepit. Then remove all files with Manila in the file name, and then rebuild the rom, flash, and enjoy.

The best thing about taking manila out of the rom files, is that you free up 5MB of space, and hundreds of files.

Uhh... what thread are you reading? Isn't that what I did?

I stopped and just encouraged the OP to flash a ROM without TP3D. I even asked him how it was....
