  • Dawid · 1 year ago
    After instal "M2D-Beta-0.07.cab" i have message on today screen "tap screen to load TOUCHFLOW" and then "unable to load". What i must do to load it? I have Qtek 9090 (HTC Blue Angel) with WM 6.1
  • Saijo George · 1 year ago
    You have to install all the applications for it to work. After installing M2D-Beta-0.07.cab follow the rest of the steps given above

    I cant instal 1 st D Commonmenager :" Instal was unsuccessful. The program or setting cannot be instaled becouse it does not have sufficent system permission" but when i instal it on storage cart it is instaling. I try to instal it on sd and continue instalation but when i finish, and check touhflo, it still write: unable to start touch flo.
    PS. After instal takskmenager i must do softreset and that system restart about 10 minutes! It is normal?

    I have already installed a different version from freeware for pocket pc web site. Now I can´t uninstall the previous version completely and after having installed yours it still have some problems as:
    no chance to access menu options on the horizontal button bar because its hidden
    There´s no specification for the icons showed on the configuration menu which goes after google maps
    no music available in the music menu too
    I don´t know how to uninstall the previous version and also don´t know if overlapping this manilla version will be a solution...
    Can you help me installing it correctly?
  • Saijo George · 1 year ago
    @ Dawid : 1st D CommManager.cab installed fine for me on to my device memory , i am not really sure whats wrong there ( do you have enough space on your device memory )

    After everyting were installed i did notice that startup did take a lill while longer that usual , but not 10 min

    ------------------

    @ Alberto :

    I flashed my ROM before trying this on so i had no other version overlap, If you are comfortable with flashing your device I would suggest you to do the same ( if your device is still under warranty it will void that , so be careful )
    I am not really sure if over lapping with another version will resolve the issue

    Trying to delete the other files manually via a file explorer is another option ( make sure you disable TouchFlo from today before uninstalling it )

    After install all of them, I still get "Tap Here to launch TouchFLO" and can't load it. Mine is samsung i760 with WM6.1.
    Any help? Thanks,
  • Saijo George · 1 year ago
    Hi David

    Did u try and reboot after the install, lets us know how it goes after the reboot. Were there any other issues while installation ?

    EDIT : just saw u were using a samsung i760 , this will most likely work only on HTC devices :(
  • Dawid · 1 year ago
    Yes, i reboot him after instal, but it still can't load touch flow (maybe becouse, i have instali 1st D CommManager.cab on sd card). (I have 20Mb on device memory) PS. is there any other option to make shorter time to my system start up
  • Eric · 1 year ago
    Not to promote another site, but if you go to freewarepocketpc can get you the TouchFlo 2d in just 2 cabs, the main cab and the youtube add-on (which still isn't working entirely yet.) You will still have to add the Opera and GoogleMaps cabs, but it's really the easiest and fastest way to go.
  • Dawid · 1 year ago
    Manila 2D from freewarepocketpc.net like Manila from here, cant load. But system start up in normal time

    Hi, I’ve installed this on my XDA Orbit and it works fine but made my device very slow. Please advise how I can solve the problem?
    Thank you,
  • Saijo George · 1 year ago
    This is an interface that runs on the new HTC device with better RAM and processor , so on the older device it will make the device a bit sluggish ..
  • Luqman · 1 year ago
    Could this theme (TouchFLO 2D) applied in O2 orbit with Windows Mobile 5...???
    Plz...thx B4
  • Saijo George · 1 year ago
    I tried it on with WM6.1 , I am not sure if WM5 will support it , i am assuming it wont ..

  • Jagadish · 1 year ago
    Hi
    This is Jags... i downloaded the file from the post which is around 15MB. I tried to install the cab Manila2D_1.00_1819.2926.cab file on my fone after unzipping the 15MB file.

    Model i'm using is HTC Touch India version (ELF). At the end of the installation (Memory card i installed initially) i got the error of unable to install in the specified location and again i tried to re-install on Device memory but the same error i got. Could any one please guide me how to install the same with step by step procedure.

    There was no option to disable TOuch Flow in Today -> Settings -> Items
    I deactivated HTC Home and tried to install but i mentioned the error above Please help me out

    or in the list of files which cab should be installed first etc., Please guide i'm very much excited to use the 2D flow on my device.

    Please reply faster.

    Thanks
    Jags.....
  • Saijo George · 1 year ago
    Hey Jags, before u try and install it try to disable all today plugins and close all active applications, see if that makes a diffrence :)
  • Jags... · 1 year ago
    Hi george,

    I tried the same which you simply specified. If you can give me the detailed instruction like what are the pre-requisites required to install and how to install.
    I purchased in India the HTC Touch with WM6 Professional.

    At the end of the installation it asked me to install in another location saying that unable to install in the specified location.

    I stopped running all the apps., an disabled HTC Home and all plug-ins (Settings -> Items -> Every thing Un-checked and installed the same but cudn't install.

    Is there any Rom upgrade required? i mentioned the same below. please let me know and how to install the same.

    My ROM version is 2.20.720.2B WWE
    Date 10/02/07
    Radio Version: 03.07.90

    Regards,
    Jags.
  • Saijo George · 1 year ago
    I had this on a WM6.1 rom , but removed it after a few days coz it made the phone really slow. the only major diffrence I see is you are on a WM6 ROM, that being said I am not sure if thats the issue
  • all · 1 year ago
    its working perfect on htc touch bought in india...................dont forget to close all the home plugins and all the running programs to before u install any of the given files cheers
  • JT · 1 year ago
    i tried installing all of the applications.. However even installing into the external memory still requires some from (internal) phone memory. it is impossible to install all.. is it nessary to install all or just 1. install M2D-Beta-0.07.cab
    is enough...
  • Saijo George · 1 year ago
    I installed everything but opera to device memory, I aint sure if it will work properly otherwise ...
  • Ram · 1 year ago
    Hey there.... Can i install this on samsung omnia?
    Will installing this screw up the system?
  • Saijo George · 12 months ago
    I am afraid this is only QVGA, I am not sure how Omnia will handle this
  • Matthew Khoo · 11 months ago
    hi.. i installed everything according to what the tutorial says.. somehow my music player doesn`t seem to work.. any ideas why that is? it says "searching..." for a very long time and doesn`t show any song..
  • Saijo George · 11 months ago
    I think the music is hard coded to be read only from " Storage Card\My Documents\My Music "
  • Matthew Khoo · 11 months ago
    yeah.. all my music are in my storage card.. but i can`t seem to open it.. :S
  • Saijo George · 11 months ago
    i am not sure what else could be wrong, I will report back on this thread if i find something. Its a good idea to jump on to the source thread to see if others were having the same issue
  • Matthew Khoo · 11 months ago
    when i uninstall audio manager 2.0.. the music works.. but i program and weather tabs don`t work.. any ideas?
  • renegade · 11 months ago
    When i try to install M2D-Beta-0.07.cab itsays :::: Installation was unsuccessful. The program or setting cannot be installed because it does not have sufficient system permissions""" ...... what has gone wrong.....
    thanks in advance
    renegade
  • Saijo George · 11 months ago
    @ renegade thats is most likely due to application lock on your device. see the glossary for " Application Unlock " for more info

    To get rid of it
    Get this app : http://www.1800pocketpc.com/2008/12/02/schap%E2...

    in Miscellaneous >> Security warning option disable that. that should do the trick
  • Drae · 11 months ago
    I installed all the files and everything but it doesnt work in landscape mode (when I slide my screen up). I was wondering how can I get it to work when I slide my keyboard up. I have the HTC Kaiser.
  • Saijo George · 11 months ago
    I am not sure if it supports landscape
  • Brian · 11 months ago
    Hi David

    In a few days im going to buy the new OMNIA i900 from verizonewireless and i actually like the HTC theme better then the stock theme on the i900 because i love the color black, and was wondering if this theme will work with this phone. Also when you download the theme do i download it on the phone or PC.
  • Saijo George · 11 months ago
    Hi Brian

    It will not work on the Omnia coz this is only for QVGA devices. unfortunateely Omnia is not a QVGA device.
  • karan · 11 months ago
    hi....i have an HTC P3400i GENE POCKET PC....
    running windows mobile 6 and having .NET framework 2.0
    should i try this???
  • Saijo George · 11 months ago
    Its up to you , If your device is a QVGA device you can give it a shot. The interface might be a bit slow.

    You might also need to upgrade your .NET framework, see here on how to do it : http://www.saijogeorge.com/2008/11/24/delete-ol...
  • eric · 11 months ago

  • Saijo George · 11 months ago
    Try adding your music to ” Storage Card\My Documents\My Music “
  • Brian · 11 months ago
    Hi David
    I know you told me that it cant be done on the omnia bacuse is not QVGA but i seen youtube vids of omnias with manila 2D why is that. and what is QVGA, well i know VGA is the display but what does the "Q" stand for.

    thanks alot
  • Brian · 11 months ago

  • Saijo George · 11 months ago
    Quarter VGA , ie 1/4 the of VGA size screen resolution.

  • GianoRanger2000 · 10 months ago
    For the last 2 1/2 years, ive had the Treo 700p. I recently got rid of it to try out the Windows mobile platform. So far its kicking me in the teeth. But thats due to my lack of experience. I want the TouchFlo 2D. But i am having trouble from the get go. I have saved the rar file to my desktop. I then open the Windows Mobile Device Center and try to either paste or drage it into the File Management. Thats where i start having problems. It wont paste or drag over. Am i supposed to drag it into a specific folder? I thought i was savvy, until i got my Mogul. But willing to try. NEED HELP!!!
  • Saijo George · 10 months ago
    just extract the content of the rar on the desktop. Then transfer the cab files to your device.

    follow this guide : http://www.wmexperts.com/articles/howto/how_to_...

    hope it helps

    do the files HAVE to be installed on device? cuz i don't think my device (alone) can support all the files i only have about 30MB.
  • lucifer · 9 months ago
    hi,
    i installed it on my HTC elf,it works and it's so cool,but i have a couple of questions:

    1-after i installed it,the original TouchFLO cube became really slow,and the device overall became slow,though the memory usage was low.even after i uninstalled it the device remained like that.is it because of the processor or what?

    2-in the internet tab,the internet button doesn't launch the browser,though i had opera pre-installed already.

    3-the lower taskbar buttons changed to programs and phone,is there anyway to restorethem?

    4-the music player doesn't work

    5-isn't the weather interface supposed to be like the diamond's,i mean this 3d one?

    thanks
  • Saijo George · 9 months ago
    1) not sure , did u reboot the revice after uninstall
    2) you will need to install opear provided with this
    3) change softkeys : http://www.1800pocketpc.com/2008/09/25/softkey-...
    4) Try adding your music to ” Storage Card\My Documents\My Music “
    5) Thats TouchFlo3D , its different from TouchFlo2d

    hope this helps :)
  • lucifer · 9 months ago
    thanks for your response

    1-yea i did reboot after uninstall,but it stayed the same.is it because the elf has a low processor?i mean should it normally work on the elf ornot?

    5-i know it's touchFLO 2d,but i saw this 3d weather icons in the manilla2d UI.doesn't it work with this?

    thanks
  • jatt · 9 months ago
    Hi,

    I used dopod 838pro with WM6.1 and already installed this TouchFLO 2D. Everything is ok, except for the 'device lock'. How do I lock my phone since the device lock is disappear and sometimes it will launch the applications automatically without my knowledge.
  • Saijo George · 9 months ago
  • lucifer · 9 months ago
    me again,sorry for the inconvenience.

    i installed it again after a hard reset,and it works just fine now,but with some issues:

    1-can't add applications;i already added the notes on the fisrt icon,but it won't add any other apps.
    2-the music tab
    3-the pictures tad displays an "L" like black border on every photo

    thanks
  • yanz · 9 months ago
    ive done everything as instructed. here are my findings

    1) audio manager cannot detect any songs

    2) phone hangs to a black screen when glancing thru photos and when i tried to play video

    any ideas on having these addressed..... or maybe if i could find a proper audio manager or HTCalbum to test if any might be working properly and also user friendly
  • yanz · 9 months ago
    well to all peepz having the problem of getting their htc to detect their audio files after performing the installations, you can actually detect and play it after removing HTC audio manager 2.0
  • Saijo George · 9 months ago
    thanks for the tip mate :)
  • brian · 8 months ago
    hello, i have the same problem as david ( in the 1st posts), i have an htc tilt; everything works fine, but i can't open the comm manager. it says in suffucient memory, and i can't uninstall or install it right ? it won't let me do anything. please help, thanks.

    Hi George sir,
    A few questions on "Touch Flo 2D":
    1. Is it able to install on Samsung i780 ?
    2. Is it in English version ?
    3. After the installation, can my Opera be automatically upgraded from 8.65 to 9.5 ??
    Thanks a lot !!
  • Saijo George · 8 months ago
    Its in English and should work on HTC QVGA devices, I dont think it will play nice with the Samsung i780
  • Martin Lee · 8 months ago
    Hello, thanks for your advice. By the way, is there any "touch interface / touch widgets" suitable for i780 (320x320) that you could recommend ?
    Please kindly advise. THANKS !!
  • Craigster · 8 months ago
    I have the Verizon Wireless XV6900 (HTC Touch) and when I go to START, SETTINGS, TODAY, and ITEMS... but I don't have the "TouchFlo" thingy to where I can unselect it. Will this download still work if I don't have this?
  • Saijo George · 8 months ago
    it will onlu come after you install M2D-Beta-0.07.cab, which is step 1

    is it possible for this to brick your phone if you install it incorrectly? (i have an htc touch dual)
  • nick · 7 months ago
    I have a Touch dual and I'm interested on installing the Touchflo 2D, but I have to do some questions first:

    1.) Is there any coincidence to damage my device (example: stop starting up)?
    2.) If I would like (but, I don't think) to uninstall Touch flo 2D, is there any coincidence to cause problems?
    3.) I have WM 6, it works better with WM 6.1?
    4.) Touch dual's processor is at 400 MHz, It will work too slowly, after the installation?

    5.) The cube is going to be disabled (or work too slow)?
    6.) What will happen if I install it incorrectly, can I uninstall it safely?

    And the last question:

    7.) Has anybody installed this correctly in a Touch dual? Everything works perfect?

    Please answer soon!
    Sorry about my English :) (I made some mistakes)
