Flash themes and Touchflo 3d

benitojuarez · #1 (**permalink**) 12-09-2008, 02:07 AM

I have a sprint touch pro and I have netwasps flash themes installed.
http://www.netwasp.com/

it lets you use animated backgrounds for your homescreen. It doesnt seem to be compatible with touch flow 3d though. It would be totally awesome to have the clear flip clock AND an animated background. Currently I have to choose one or the other though. Is anyone aware of a way to make these two plugins work in conjunction with each other?

So did i ask something real stupid or nobody is interested in an animated background in tf3d?

I'm interested. Do you have anything you can post? I just joined this board last week. Thanks for sharing this with the community.

i am also interested in something like this.... but i cant figure it out. i think if i could get a clear background for tf3d so i can see my original today screen bhind it... it might work for this too. but when i try to make a transparent file it comes out white or black in tf3d.... if i can get this to work (or anybody else) i will post here and that way you can see your animated today (hypothetically) through the clear background of tf3d.

I am interested as well on this. Everyone here is new to the phone ( at least most of us) including myself so its better to have people ask questions that would look stupid to the l33ts but not us so feel free to ask anything. I wish i knew how to program/edit manilla (TF3D program) files.

I'm fairly new around here myself. I've found this forum and members to be extremely helpful.

I would read up on a tutorial that GoodThigs2Life wrote:

There is a lot of good stuff there on editing manila. Also there is this thread:

http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread...41350&page=111

People post their home screens, most of the time if you ask them about their home screen they'd be willing to help you out and point you in the right direction.

Manila is somewhat complicated but once you get the hang of it, it's pretty easy. If you have any questions after reading that tutorial, don't hesitate to ask for help.

To the OP, sorry I can't help either, hopefully someone around here can assist.

Until they come out with an actual manila editor, it is going to be rather extensive to edit.

I am working on a few different touchflo 3d themes and to be honest, once these are finished (will still be a bit) I doubt I will do anymore until something more user friendly comes out.

As it is, its not hard, its just you have to do ALOT of file micro-management to even do basic changes in manilla. GoodThings2Life is SO very right when he said that its so much that he will not be doing it again.

I have considered holding off on finishing the themes until an editor comes out, simply because I am just REALLY tired of copying files, editing, replacing, verifying, diabling TF3d, copying files to device, softbooting, then reenabling touchflo, all just to to see if the change I made was useable or not.

All that is per change because something you think would be nice and easily accomplished will mess up touchflo REALLY bad. lol

I've messed around with it just a tad making some minor changes and what not. It took me forever just to figure out how to change the icons in landscape mode.

Talk about a pain in the butt!! I couldn't imagine making full fledged themes/icons for portrait and landscape mode and getting it all to work correctly.

I think I'll just leave it be for now also, Surely someone will come up with a program to be able to edit manilla easily.
