Why all the fascination for TouchFlo 2D/3D?

[mindfrost82]

If you really want other Today Screen apps, then why not use something like Ultimate Launcher? I haven't tried it with TouchFlo2D, but it worked great with the HTC Home plugin.

You can set as many sides as you want, each with its own today screen app, or app shortcut, then you just swipe your finger from side to side to make it rotate to the next today screen (like you swipe up for the cube, only sideways).

This way you could have TouchFlo2D the default side, then create other sides and rotate them as needed.

When I had this on my Touch I didn't notice a whole lot of memory usage either, but I'm sure there's some overhead. I had HTC Home on one side, TodayAgenda on another page, then an app shortcut page.

EDIT: And I completely agree about the SMS/Email tabs and the functionality of it. I would much rather have a button to press to just open POutlook to the account I want to view (similar to HTC Home).

I like the way TFlo2D runs and how smooth it looks, but I really only use the main tab, the contacts (which functions alot better than HTC Home), and the app launcher (and it lets you have more apps than HTC Home).

I wish I could take parts I like from tf2d and add them to the original home...

basically, I just hope this doesn't take over all the custom roms....

Does it really work with UL? I have an UL set up I love, and I agree with the OP that M2D is mainly for show but it is cool enough, I just can't justify losing UL...how does it work with UL - do i install m2d and make it a tab within my UL set up??

I'm not sure how it works, as I stated in the first line, I haven't tried it with M2D. I would imagine you would do the same thing you do for other Today apps, install it, DO NOT turn it on in the Today settings but rather make a new tab in UL and set it up in there.
