Titanium or Manila...?

[tiburon2006]

I have been using Titanium I find it so much easier to use set my pannels so every thing I use is on my screen if you add the right ones with editor the only thing I like about the manila is the calender when I turn mine on this what I see the lines are the top and bottom of the screen with out scrolling and if you hit the end it goes to the time and have is to lock if I hold it and the home button takes you home I also perfer the wm 6.5 finger menus

Imo its no contest, manila offers so much more and its much nicer looking than titanium, its like a new OS altogether because its spidered throughout so much more than the homescreen. Especially after seeing 2.6 in its way to 3.0 I will never see titanium again

Manilla....i dont know why I just don't like Titanium

I use Manila...2.1 now will probably go to 2.6 when that comes out...

Titanium seems like nothing more than a really large version of the old today screen.

Or MS's version of a blackberry OS.

Manila is more iPhone like in it's structure. Can show more information on each tab without having to leave the home screen. titanium is more of a launcher with limited info display.

Sorry MS but you will have to do better than that to keep up with the jones'

IDK what your doing but TF2D uses WAY more memory than titanium. at least it does on my VZN TP.

personally, i prefer titanium over TF. everything i need is right where i want it. i like the fact that the weather panel has radar as well as showing the temp right on the screen without having to scroll through the icons.

I tried manilla and while I can get used to it the battery drain associated is in no way worth it. Titanium is 100% usable for what I need and does not bring the added battery drain with it. With the addition of cLauncher it is lacking nothing for me compared to TF3D.

I thought Manilla would be the favorite! LOL

Manila doesn't drain any more battery than titanium unless you use one of the features Manila has that Titanium doesn't which is Push Internet!

You can have Manila prefetch webpages you use a lot and save you time NOT downloading when you go to look at them!

Battery drain is due to hardware use and only if you use things like GPS trackers, lots of data and talk a lot. then you will burn your battery.

But software doesn't drain power unless it is using some radio or hardware port in the device.

IE:
Heavy use of gsensor (play teeter or rotate your screen automatically).
GPS Tracker which needs to not only keep the GPS reciever and com port running but also has to upload data to the site that is showing everyone where you are...

So lets not put out false info here...

Umm software can most certainly drain your battery

extra cpu usage IS hardware usage, and different peices of software will use varying amounts of cpu and memory usage.
