Quick Tweaks for TouchFlo 3D 2

Using TouchFlo 3D 2 on your Xperia? If yes, then you’ll be happy to know that XDA-Developers have released a set of tweaks for TouchFlo 3D 2. The set includes:

  • Ability to toggle enhanced notifications.
  • Ability to toggle large menus.
  • Ability to disable/enable rotation of TF3D.
  • Ability to hide/show programs tab.
  • Ability to toggle between classic and Touch Flo start menu.

Though the tweaks were released for Touch Pro & Touch Diamond phones, they are working perfectly on Xperia. I used it to show the Programs tab in Touch Flo 3D 2 and to revert back to the original Xperia Start Menu. To download, head on here.

Didn't follow this TF3D 2 stuff too closely... is there any solution to use TF3D 2 as a panel on a standard R2AA ROM?

As far as i'm aware, i don't think so... i'm really loving TF3D 2 on the main today screen this time - loads super fast on device startup and comes up instantly on panel switching... :)

Hey Salman, whats the difference between the older TouchFlo 3D and the newer TouchFlo 3D 2?
msalmank said…
@Abdulla - You should definitely look for videos on YouTube. On the face, it doesn't seem much different, but in reality it dives in depth with deeper integration into Windows Mobile. for instance, you can send SMS or compose a quick e-mail to a contact from within TF3D 2 instead of opening Messaging.

The biggest change? The interface works in Landscape. :)

Hi Salman,

What ROM are you currently using?

is it itje's ROM?
msalmank said…
Davis,

I've been using itje's ROM 4.5 version since it was released. I recently flashed to the WinMo 6.5 ROM (by itje) and am loving that as well - despite it not having TF3D 2...

Regards.

Hi Salman,

I am really tempted to flased my device to the WinMo 6.5 ROM..

I admit that I am too lazy to read the entire thread.. :P Have you encountered any major bugs?

Thanks in advance.
msalmank said…
The latest WinMo6.5 by itje is quite stable - the only issue i face is when going to the panel interface, it can hang for a couple of seconds (like 4 to 6 seconds). Other than that it is working awesome.

In short - if you want to flash to a ROM to stay on for a long time, then i advice not to flash the WinMo 6.5 at the moment and wait for a more stable release. (though i will be staying on this ROM for a while, i don't know if you have the patience to do take the plunge just now... :D)

Hi Salman,

I made the plunge.. and I really like it!

I might stay with this ROM for quite a while..

I really like 6.5's today screen. It is really clean.
msalmank said…
I agree... the WinMo 6.5 today screen is simple and elegant.
Melk said…
You really should try Yrgo 3.0, looks interesting. I'll test it next week, I think...

Melk said…
Very soon I'll have to hard reset my phone, it's beginning to be extremely slow...

I wanted to ask you what version of ijte's ROM is the best these days. I don't want WM6.5. I saw that there's 5.61 and 7, I don't know which is more stable.

And another thing... do you knwow if ijte's ROMs are disabling the accent (au) key on the keyboard? I know that if I have the Touch IT Keyboard or the SE keyboard with T9 - that key will not work anymore.
Unknown said…
@Melk - 7 is the latest and so give that a whirl... Afraid that i'm not sure about the au key.

As for Yrgo 3.0... been trying it out for a while now but don't like it much. Will post about it on the blog in the next day or so in detail.
Melk said…
Ok, I'll ask if the au key works in the forum. It's pretty important to me.

Yrgo is interesting, but they still have a lot to do. The thing I like the most is that you can add as a widget the standard Today items. Can't do that in TouchFlo or in SPB Mobile Shell and I need this for G-Alarm and SPB Wireless Monitor. :(

Touch-IT v4.5 ROM – The Best Custom ROM

Ever since I got my Xperia, I have been following the XDA Forums closely. itje at XDA Forums has continuously grabbed my attention, most recently with the Touch Flo 3D Landscape (from Touch Pro 2) custom ROM. Though it started off as a Beta with tons of issues, he updated the ROM to a new Beta version from time to time with various fixes and additions. He recently released the final version of his Custom ROM (with of course Touch Flo 3D taken from the prototype models of Pro 2), and since then i have had the best Xperiance with my Xperia. The Custom ROM is by far the best ROM i have used so far on my Xperia. Really great performance and fast speed. Touch Flo 3D itself is running way better than i have ever tested it before. Thank you itje for a great Xperiance! If you want to give this custom ROM a try, head on here . Note : Installing a Custom ROM requires HardSPL. HardSPL your Xperia at your own risk.

CNetX - Face Contact

CNetX’s Face Contacts is a really cool-looking contact management utility which integrates directly into the device’s Today screen. Featuring an intuitive 3D interface with kinetic scrolling (iPhone-like), Face Contact allows you to add, remove, or edit contacts without having to switch between different apps and lets you sort by different fields as well as define a custom order in which the contacts appear. You can adjust, replace or remove contact’s pictures, with photo cropping and rotation. Furthermore, you have full control on display settings and 3D rendering options including photo shape, transparency, and reflection effects. Works perfectly on Xperia! And best of all, regardless of the number of favorite/quick-access numbers you want, the application uses as little screen height as possible! To try it out, go here . Some screenshots:

Xperia – Software Update

Update : Generic UK ROM has been updated . What? ‘Software Update’? Did you read it right? The answer is YES! After much debate against Sony Ericsson for not releasing any patches or updates since the release of Xperia, we finally have an update coming our way. PavelX1 at XDA Forums is uploading all the new ROMs onto Rapidshare for us to download. What changes, enhancements, and fixes does this R2 version of the software update include? That is a thing of mystery at the moment. But let’s hope that it is everything everyone hoped for and more! To download or for more info, go here . FYI – In case someone is wondering where PavelX1 is getting these updated files from; he reports that he is using EMMA which is an official SE service software for service centers. Note : The update is also reported to be available via Sony Ericsson Update Service (SEUS). Update List (Updated Feb 1) : Here are some things that i have noticed so far with this update.
