Speed isn't the issue for most of us, I think... My TF3D is as fast and smooth as I'd ever want, with all the rom, d3d and manilla tweaks I've gone through, so that's not the problem. My problem is that although it looks really pretty, I don't like how it works. It feels totally inefficient, form over function. If I wanted form over function, I'd opt for the Apple OS!

I thought maybe if it ran smoothly, I'd find the use in it, but alas- it just feels like everything takes longer to do. Not that TF3D doesn't run smoothly, because it totally can if you do it right, but rather that its just NOT USEFUL! Everything seems to take more taps and precision slides/movements to get the same data that would all be on the screen at once otherwise. Also, it takes hostile control of the top right corner of the screen (Qmenu won't show the battery icon there anymore), plus automatically places itself on top of things when I don't want it to (pressing an AVRCP command on my headset or switching tasks in some popular task managers will suddenly revert back to home when TF3D is running). Removing Manilla from the today screen effectively solves all those problems for me, but I'd like to at least replace it with something snazzier than average today plugins.

This thread is at least reassuring in that I'm not alone in this.

I have HTC's WM 6.1 upgrade and use the HTC TM so I'm sure I have it. Since you have a Mogul, what was the fastest and most stable Rom you flashed? I gave you a thanks for your post. I'm new at this so I am giving out lots of "Thanks."

The last one I used was DCD 3.2.6. It was a stripped down (clean) ROM, and I just added what I wanted. It was very stable for me, I don't know what version it's up to now though. The last time I flashed was in October last year for the Mogul. I guess for you it would depend if you like the normal Sprint load-out or not, since pretty much all of that was gone from his ROM. I just installed what I needed.

I never messed with the pagepool on the Mogul ROMs, but I think that would really be the only way to bump up the speed much (although Windows Mobile builds in the 20xxx series seem to be slightly faster than the 19xxx series). Personally though, the Mogul is so limited on RAM it's probably not a good idea to bump up the pagepool much if at all.

Sorry if I don't have a whole lot of information to give you, I didn't really get into more technical aspects of anything until I got my TP (and I'm still way behind a lot of people here :P) I'm pretty sure I still have the cabs for stuff I installed when I had my Mogul though, so I might be able to help a little with that.

scrosler has the fastest ROMs

It is never correct to make a blanket statement like that.

There are plenty of fast ROM's out there. I use & like scrosler's ROM's but they aren't any faster than some of the other custom ROM's available.

Scrosler's C kitchen left my phone unbootable two days ago, which also demonstrates some of the things you need to watch out for.

I love TF3d.... it looks like my phones used to look after endless hacking and tweaking. It was nice not having to do it for once!

Later,

Matt!

Banzai - is this undo-able? I don't know anything about HTC Home, so I don't know if I'd like it better than TF3d, but I'd like to try. I just want to be sure I can get back to TF3d if I want to. Thanks.

Yeah, it is a today plugin just as TF3D is. All of the images get installed into the \HTCHome directory instead of \Windows, so it won't clutter up your windows directory even more. I can't guarantee there are zero issues as I don't use TF3D extensively, but I haven't had issues switching between the two.

I finally gave up on TF3D and went back to Spb Mobile Shell... haven't looked back, and I'm actually really looking forward to Mobile Shell 3.0.

ahh, welcome to the club.. I don't suppose you're working on another revision of your tp cleanup that removes all the tf3d elements..... that would be sweet!

I would definitely be interested in that!
