Download link and file is attached as well http://rapidshare.com/files/21200597...PACKAGE_V1.rar
- Hard reset to stock rom strongly recommended! but not required I installed from of my HD port.
- Go to start/settings/system/power/advanced/ and uncheck all boxes. Go back later after full install and reset to what you want
- Install net cf 3.5 or have a rom with net cf 3.5 built into it. I used my stock rom with the HD port already installed and seems to be fine so far.
- Install "xbmod policy.cab" from the "Required" folder to the device, NOT the storage card, this goes for all the cabs.
- Turn off TF3D in settings and do a manual soft reset.
- Install "XBmod VGA Rhodium Manila.cab" to the device. This cab takes a while to load, be patient, then hit "OK" to restart.
- It may seem a little disfunctional between installs, just be patient till the end.
- Install HTC New Contact Card.cab then click "OK" to restart.
- Now go into settings and turn on TF3D.
- You may want to install some of the cabs from the "Optional" or "Manila Tweak" folder and I will report on these cabs later.
-Delete the My device/Application Data/HTC/databases/forecast_cache.db file BEFORE you use the weather tab.
-Go to the settings tab and click on "Customize Tabs" and you can turn on or off the tabs as you like and rearrange them.
-At this point your new TF3D port form Touch Pro 2 should work perfect and before you load programs or customize go get familar with it, then you can begin to customize.
-You can now go back and correct your power settings to what you desire.

It's sound like the port might be a good way to preview, for those who might want to try it in a custom ROM.

The developers were often saying things worked better on newer builds. I'm a little surprised they got it working on stock ROMs.

Initial Impressions

-Phone is definitely slower, but I know for a fact it's due to not being cooked it, it destroyed my free memory from cab installing(went from 72ish to like 22..)

Fix: ROM cooker simply OEMs it in.

-GSensor auto rotate seems to be not functioning still, will install changescreen like I did on the 90% done.

Fix: Tried enabling "AutoRotation" in registry, nothing. Tried JMZ's cab for diamond2, nothing. No fix yet. Supposably though, the Diamond2 SDK will work.

-Contact tab now works, however clicking on a name results in Manila
reloading.After reading a bit: It seems if you have Beta Rhodium cooked in, then install Cabs over it, Contacts Tab will work. If you're installing over a regular or HD manila, contacts tab will crash.

Workaround: Either go to Phone tab and activate your contacts from there(will use default WM contacts tab), or use your current favorites(for some reason that loads into TF3D contact tab fine)


-Manila graphics are a bit bigger than you may be used to, especially from the HD Manila most of us are accustomed to.

Fix: It's not an issue, just something I noticed.

-World Clock is a tiny bit bigger than it should be in Landscape, but works perfectly in Portrait

Fix: Simply wait for XBmod to clean this up.

-Internet tab links in Landscape run off a bit on the right, but they're clickable and still work great, again perfect in Portrait

Fix: Simply wait for XBmod to clean this up.

-Music tab looks and works perfect in Landscape, was an issue before.

Fix: Not an issue.

-Customize tabs is not functioning correctly in landscape, checkboxes are cut off, but portrait again works fine.

Fix: Wait for XBmod to clean this up, or just use Portrait...

-New TF3D SMS looks beautiful and loads fine, however on any attempt to send a message it will give you an error "SIM isn't inserted into the phone."

Workaround: Because I can't exactly imagine a fix for no SIM card on CDMA, the work around is to just hit "All Messages" or "Inbox" on Messages/Email tab, this will load it into default WM messaging.

-TF3D Call History works great in Landscape/Portrait

Fix: No issues.

-Programs tab isn't working for me. I tried to install the Cab, didn't work, oddly.

Fix: Not really sure why this isn't working, I'd watch over at XDA. Workaround is to just use Start -> Programs

-Adding new favorites isn't functioning.

Fix: Alright, it's kind of working. It's not allowing me to add pictures, but it added the person

-Launching manila in Landscape mode seemed to cause it to freak out.

Workaround: Launch it in portrait.

Overall so far: Rhodium TF3D basically covers up all of the ugly WM interfaces and replaces them with beautiful finger friendly flowing interfaces, however it is buggy, but is a very solid first beta.

Should I use it yet? No, unless you like being on the cutting edge. There are a few bugs that make it still a bit unstable for daily use, namely the contact tab. It's a shame we can't get our TF3D messages working quite yet, I'm sure there will be fixes out soon for it.

I'll keep you updated of course.
