help a lady out....does anyone else hate manilla?
 

I personally despise it, I have spb phone suite and mobile shell and am using the sprint black theme, I hate the manilla set up, I truly do. The finger scrolling is trash and the messaging is not any good. That whole finger scrolling and it putting text on top of text is just frustrating. How do you take a picture of the screen and save it as an image, I would love to show you how pretty mine looks...and its all black and sexy ;) Anyways let me know if anyone hates it

And I personally like the HTC Manila, especially the new port from the TouchPro2

you can also try http://www.mymobiler.com/, its actually remote display software, you can control your phone from your pc, in the same time it has a capture option for images, it saves them pretty clear and no choppiness.

Manilla is silky smooth if you have it tweaked right. Usually off of one of these custom ROM's...the stock manilla out of the box drove me nutz!

Bump to the mention of the TP2 build...its slick and smooth!!

Try KK's loaded 2.0 beta 2 (his 1.8 is stable and the ROM is loaded with programs already!

MightMike has a pretty decent ROM (from reading up in the forums)

Re: help a lady out....does anyone else hate manilla?
 

Well you could always go back to the HTC Home Its in VGA stages now.

Re: help a lady out....does anyone else hate manilla?
 

I didn't hate Manila but developed a preference for the PointUI2 interface myself. Might try SBH Mobile Shell though at some point..

Re: help a lady out....does anyone else hate manilla?
 

I turned it off immediately. From a work standpoint it only made using the phone more cumbersome and didn't show me the data I wanted to see when I turned the phone on - specifically time, messages, vm and all calendar events for the day. Scrolling around to get to programs and such got old really quickly as well. It's fancy but didn't seem very practical.

i stop using it as well. i dont hate it, im using vito winterface

Re: help a lady out....does anyone else hate manilla?
 

text on top of text usually is a result of having "clear type in landscape" enabled.

Re: help a lady out....does anyone else hate manilla?
 

I agree. I am using mobile shell 2.1.5. I want most of what i need on the main page.

Re: help a lady out....does anyone else hate manilla?
 

i agree thank you so much

try sph phone suite...wow

agreed

Re: help a lady out....does anyone else hate manilla?
 

Yes, manilla sux. It was cool in the beginning, but after a while, I find it cumbersome. I am only a casual user and find it slow.

Now, I am back to my Wm5 setup. Phonealarm, Today's agenda. For the launcher, it's the 6.5 honeycomb.

Re: help a lady out....does anyone else hate manilla?
 

I have to agree, Manila sucks! I hated HTC home on Vogue too. Why do they have to make an interface that wastes so much space?

I just use the boring old WM today page with Resco Today Plugin to create a bunch of shortcuts for the programs I use the most.

Not so bad now that its VGA.

Re: help a lady out....does anyone else hate manilla?
 

You are right, that is a lot better then when it's on a Vogue.

Re: help a lady out....does anyone else hate manilla?
 

i'm a big fan of touch flo 3d

Re: help a lady out....does anyone else hate manilla?
 

This is the beauty of the phone - I came from Palm, had it tweaked to max to be useful, but caused many bumps. Tried Instinct (Iphone killer) - it was good for about 2 weeks - loved ease of use, but couldn't stand non-configuration ability.

Now the Diamond, Pro, whatever - TF3D is cool, but the beauty of the phone is what is listed above - all your options that can be changed in a flash. So there is no need to complain, just change it.

Re: help a lady out....does anyone else hate manilla?
 

i finally took a pluge a week ago and flashed my phone with juicy 6 with the port of tp2.......HOLY COW! why did i wait sooo long to flash my phone,...my phone has never run soooo silky smooth. i mean when i tap the screen its there....no crashing or waiting....config it the way you want.,... amazing to me

Re: help a lady out....does anyone else hate manilla?
 

whats goin on apacho01...i was lookin for htc home, 'preciate dat, bro

Re: help a lady out....does anyone else hate manilla?
 

I like TF3d. Especially TF3D 2.

If I didn't have TF3D, I'd be using ultimatelaunch. SPB mobile shell never quite did it for me. Although version 3 looks interesting.

Re: help a lady out....does anyone else hate manilla?
 

I thought I'd hate TF3D when I got my TP, but so far I don't. That being said, I'm waiting on Mobile Shell 3 anxiously. On my Mogul, I tried most of the available interfaces manilla2D, PoinUI 2, Mobile Shell, Throttlelauncher and Ultimate Launcher, HTC home, all with multiple skins and in the end? I don't have a clue what I liked better, it all became a confusing mess in my head.

Re: help a lady out....does anyone else hate manilla?
 

+1 tf3d2

Re: help a lady out....does anyone else hate manilla?
 

Manilla was the first thing i took off my phone. Im a huge spb pocket plus fan, so i use that in conjunction with moble shell. Nothing against manilla (i guess i dont hate it) just never used it.

Your Solution is right here
 

I was right there with you when I saw rom after rom with Manila 2d then 3d, after a whileI couldn't hold food down, wanted to vomit every damn time I saw a manila whatever version! The new xboxmod (has nothing to do with the system) from the Touch Pro 2 is a lot better because the text has some nice transition effects so it keeps the vomit down a lot longer. But little lady, you have got to try Star rom 6.5. Everything flows beautifully, and is sooo finger friendly, on top of that it comes with the xbox mod I mentioned. When you get your hands on that, sbp mobile and pocket are going to hate you for leaving them never to return for more lush, greener passages. Trust.

Re: help a lady out....does anyone else hate manilla?
 

I found my alternative in WM 6.5 there is a today screen you can use. I like the new Rhodium Manila but the OEM Sprint Manila was crap. For now I am going with the Titanium today screen with a couple of tweaks like adding weather its a much better solution that Touch Flow. MHO

Re: help a lady out....does anyone else hate manilla?
 

I went back to SPB Mobile shell because of a skin a guy developed a couple of days ago that looks like the Titanium today screen. Its quite clever and runs well. It definitely breathed new life into SPB Mobile Shell.

Re: help a lady out....does anyone else hate manilla?
 

I don't like using it either, I use HTC Home screen with SPB mobile shell. I use it because everything is on one screen with easy access. I like WM6.5, but with there was a weather tab for WM6.5.

Re: help a lady out....does anyone else hate manilla?
 

Where did you get the weather for Titanium today screen?

Re: help a lady out....does anyone else hate manilla?
 

In case anyone is interested in the Winmo6.5 skin for SPB Mobile Shell you can get it here.

Re: help a lady out....does anyone else hate manilla?
 

spb mobile is not bad at all, but what i've realized is that in this century having to use your stylus is out and not cool anymore. everything is suppose to be finger friendly. spb is nice but i find that without touchflo (especially tf3d2 which is my favorite) or 6.5, people still need to bust out their stylus quiet often to get the best experience. after using tf3d2 i rarely need to pull out the stylus anymore.
