Has anyone tried it yet? Does it work? Looks nice, probably way better than the diamond one. I'm still waiting for my diamond so I can't try it out myself. If someone would be so kind, I'd really appreciate it.

Yes, Touchpal v3 is better then the Diamond one...
There are lots of staff in Touchpal V3 which Diamond one doesn't have.....
Does it also work in landscape mode? That is if you change the screen orientation by some other program first...

You misunderstood me I just wrote that bit of information just so that you know that I know that the screen doesn't rotate automatically on the diamond
TouchPal 3
I have been using Touchpal 3 for a while. I wouldnt use anything else. It is a great keyboard. You can change swizes on the fly, change keyboards instantly, store passwords and phrases. Works and looks great on my TD. Skinnable....get it..much better than TD keyboard.

I must totally agree, great keyboard
I have it installed too, it is a great Keyboard but I have been experiencing lock ups when using it so currently using diamond one! gonna try going back to it again soon, see if the lock ups come back!!

Make sure you install in main memory, I've had lockups on TouchDual if installed in storage...
I can't get it to work. Intalls then says it needs to reboot to finish, then when it comes back on - nothing there?

Make sure u download the version for Windows Mobile 6.1
I had the same problem, after downloading TouchPal for WM 6.1 everything worked fine
Better use FingertouchPro directly.
It's by far superior, supports several languages, and uses very little CPU. All in one, it's a more compact product, designed with high speed text input technologies , I've seen two on the website: www.fingertouchpro.com
Why choosing touchpal when are several other (better) alternatives?

I did, unfortunatelly
I tried it and had to give up. There is absolutely no way to move the 'space' key in the T9 layout, unlike the other layouts. Which makes it unsafe to use when holding in the right hand I find.
Did you enable "Allow drag able keys"?
I have no problem moving the keys around, ncluding space.
TouchPal V3 the greatest SIP by far. Ever since I had started using it I rarely use the slideout hardware keyboard on my TyTn II

It does work in landscape mode, but not as you might expect:
it will not scale the buttons like for the iPhone. You will get left and right borders, so it is not easier to type with.
But: I bought it, the swifting feature is wonderful. Just try it, you have some day of fully free usage!

Better? Maybe in your opinion.
I, and many other people, find Touchpal much better and more advanced than the alternatives.
From the tone of your messages, it sounds like you had some problem with Touchpal...well fair enough, but maybe you should describe what the problem was?
I've been using Touchpal for some months, first on my Touch Cruise, and now on my Diamond, without any major problems. With the latest version 3.5 is just gets better and better.
Ben
Is version 3.5 really that much better then the Diamond's own keyboards ?
Obviously the sliding of keyboards and stretching are cool... but are the keys that much easier to use ? I know its not that expensive, but it still takes up space and cpu cycles on the phone.
Maybe good idea to see how well I get on with the built in keyboards first then instal the trial.

Have looked everywhere and don't see that as an option. I can move the space key in the usual keyboard layouts but none other.
Any ideas where the setting is?
Cheers
EDIT
Apparently you can't move the space key in T9 layout due to the disambiguation that occurs down left side. A HUGE mistake in my opinion as having the space to the right makes this a very unsafe keyboard to use right handed. My Diamond is too precious to risk dropping for a space key. Back to the original T9 for me then! That's a lost purchase on CooTek side.
Hi there
Can we have this landscape theme on our fuzes? This is from a blackstone.
I think the landscape mode that comes with the most roms is not useful. it will be good if we can have a landscape mode with the same funtionality as portrait mode.

I for one would like a landscape as depicted, I don't understand why you pointed to NRG's ROM I know he is working on the Manila 2 with others but I haven't seen anything like this before.
That landscape is from the new rhodium (TP2) and Tapaz (D2) manila It isn't finished yet. Xbox, DHarvey and myself and a couple of others are working our ass off to get it finished. NRG's ROM has a preview of that manila (unfinished. So take that or check this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=475557
I did search for hours and nothing. what i want is a landscape theme where you can read your sms, have the music functionality with the album cover, a calendar, programs tab, etc. just like portrait mode.

you must be dumber than Sarah Palin. That's TF3D2 on the Blackstone which was ripped from the new Rhodium ROM and it currently being ported to VGA. If you want to try it out then you can flash NRG's new ROM.
This is a good example of asking a question which has plentifully been answered. Still I think it's better to ignore it than bashing the TS, I'm sure in time he'll learn to search properly and we don't have to waste our time on these things.

Don't forget that some users might still find these topics helpfull, like me for example. I find this forum very difficult to get through, to find the information I need (since some topics count over 70 pages). The search function doesn't give me good results either. I've had a TYTNII for a year, and I never understood why the manila2d couldn't be done in landscape mode.
<--- "That's TF3D2 on the Blackstone which was ripped from the new Rhodium ROM and it currently being ported to VGA. If you want to try it out then you can flash NRG's new ROM" --->
The above made me realize that it's because of ripping/porting that manila-landscape still doesn't exist for tytnII nor for raphael (my new phone).
Anyway, I'll get to the point. I don't think it's a waste of time to reply to these sort of questions, just lock the topic afterwards. It's not always because of a noob not able to find the search function. We're not all rocket scientists you know .
EDIT: And now I think of it, what's the pain replying on a topic which will probably cost you about 4 seconds of your life?
enough bashing for the poor fellow?
if you don't want to flash another rom, there's a cab i found a while back that has something like that and is installable as a cab file.

As mentioned in some of the other responses, it is the rhodium version of manila (aka touch flo) that has been ported to the touch pro (aka Raphael). It works on most ROMs to my knowledge including stock ROMs. Currently, XBMod is working on porting the Topaz version of manila to the touch pro (see link). It works wonderfully on the Alltel touch pro, which is what I have. Hope this helps.

HI. I posted this in another thread but didnt get much of a response..i use landscape mode alot and i was wonder which cooked rom is best for landscape mode..
they are all pretty much the same if m2d is used. best bet is ms3, home or stock. mind you I use m2d and use landscape without a hitch just depends how you use it?
oh and I forgot 6.5 to which is good for landscape.
djquick is correct about making a new thread as the answer even I should have put was flash flash flash
Ok, so you think by posting in this thread you'd get a better response??? Dude, you didn't even specify what kind of phone you have, what you're looking for specifically; other than the best rom for landscape. My guess is you didn't even look through the different roms out there with their specific pros and cons............unbelievable
Sorry i have the
ATT TILT
ROM right now is the Ultimate PDA V4
Im using that and the landscape works fine but im a picky person lol
You'll need to specify your use cases a little more. A WM6.1 stipped ROM work's fine in Landscape mode. Do you need WM 6.5, Manila, etc.
Moving to General, as not related to ROM development.

Hi everybody, I recently got a Diamond2 and found that the enormous amount of expertise and help available at xda-developers have really helped me enjoy this phone. The phone is not locally supported by any carriers or retailers in Canada so the availability of these forums have been a real help. I've run through most of the issues I've had with the phone (really like the Pro2 Interface better but was way to bulky) but have a few remaining that I haven't been able to find satisfactory answers for, hope you guys will be able to help.
I've downloaded and played around with what seem to be most of the prerequisite softwares: Advanced Config Tool, Klaxon, Changescreen etc. and have also made a couple of registry modifications to enable TF3D rotation and things like that. Here is where I'm getting into a bit of trouble. Although changescreen is a great app I just don't like to install a lot of things on my device and decided to try the regedit. After a soft reset it seemed to work great but was quite slow in switching over to landscape and back. At first I though this was a problem with the g-sensor so I opened up Opera to try it out and found that it was much faster. Obviously it's a lot less graphically intense but I was playing around with a Touch Pro2 before I bought the Diamond2 and it is also significantly faster, with the same processor and everything. I've tried to reduce the sampling time for the g-sensor down from 200ms to 100ms in ACT but that didn't really seem to help. Also I get some really weird lines across the tops of TF3D pages in landscape; in the All Contacts page for example the bar that contains "Search Contacts" will have at least three sets of distorted lines across it at regular intervals across the page. The wallpaper also seems to malfunction as instead of staying as it was, it will stretch across the width of the screen and as a result become extremely distorted. The dialer doesn't go into landscape but that seems to be a common issue. I've downloaded the Rhodium Phone Dialer although I haven't had a chance to install it yet, maybe that will fix the dialer issue.
I do have some app installed that changes the background of all tabs to be the same and this seems to have messed with the transparency of the tab bar and, occasionally the phone will fail to respond to screen swipes that would usually cycle through the tabs without using the tab bar. Maybe this app is also causing the other problems.
The help on these forums has already been a great asset and I was just hoping that I would be able to get some simple fixes for the issues with the landscape thing without having to install more software. Thanks in advance for any help, its all appreciated. Cheers.
PS, rom is 1.39.421.0 (47382) WWE
what you can do to improve things:
1. ditch stock rom and use tess rom
2. install flipit for rotation software - its better than the rest IMO
Thanks for the quick reply
Thanks for the quick reply, sorry I wasn't able to reply right away, got a bit busy at uni.
I was a bit apprehensive about installing a new rom but the one you recommended is amazing. The speed increase alone is unbelievable, doesn't even feel like the same device.
Everything is working great and the rotation is really fast now on everything except TF3D. It almost looks like it attempts to rotate and then fails. The title bars rotate around and then rotate back. I've added the regedit, manually removed and added it back into flip_it, but nothing seems to be working. Aside from that everything else seems perfect. Hope you'll be able to help, and once again, thanks.
oh yeah.. forgot to mention about manila in landscape
go to search and look for At0mAng & Danny_and_2 TF3D2 Tweak cab for topaz
install, and in the list of programs, there is option called Manila Rotate ON.
and thats it, you are all set...
hope this helps

Can I ask where to read and get this rom?
I am also new to Topaz.
Running on stock ROM
been reading around. reading on the various rom threads to decide which to use.
I am looking for something stable, fast (aren't we all?) and 6.1. Still got Manila and hopefully with Titanium built in. Also if possible with ringtones removed.
What would you recommend?
Thanks

Thanks for the tip about the tweak program, installed it and followed your directions, manila is now rotating. However, its still incredibly slow; in the range of 3-5 seconds for transition to landscape and then around 1-2 seconds back to portrait. Also, those distortive lines I described earlier are back.
I was hoping for the kind of speed seen here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPVgN5QuzO4 but I do realize that its a different rom. I've disabled and enabled TF3D and also done a soft reset, but no speed increase. I was thinking it may be a hardware issue but everything else works fine. One thing I have noticed though is that since installing this rom some programs get stuck half rotated and the other half of the screen will display the TF3D home page. Once again, thanks for all the help so far.
P.S. If I disable TF3D the blank today screen will rotate at the same speed as in that video if not faster. Also before when the menus rotated but not TF3D they were rotating at the same fast speed.
yes, I know what you mean.. at this stage, manila rotates pretty slow for me too...
I guess at the moment, we have to live with it... the slow rotation only happens on tf3d2 rite? the rest is ok...
as with hardware issue, I am sure it is not, cause topaz is still relatively new...
btw, Manila 2.1 is around, and manila 2.5 is coming too... so, maybe they would give better performance .
btw, the youtube link is a rom made by Tom Condon, and as you probably know, he is very active in building rom for topaz too... why dont you give him a message, or try his rom...
Tha
sorry double post again..
Sounds good
Glad to know that it wasn't just a one off issue. I'll give his rom a shot, was kind of wary b/c of the comments that said WM 6.5 was slow. Would you be able to direct me to somewhere that I'd be able to download TF3D 2.1 alone without a rom upgrade or anything or maybe even cooked into the TESS rom. Thanks for the incredible quick reply and for all the help so far.

Ye, sorry about that didn't quite follow the forum all the way, I guess I'll be waiting. Thanks man.
First I wanna thank all the ROM devs around here for their work and time spend to bring us all the new user interfaces to our X1´s. After working for years in developing a linux system I think I know what time and effort you put into this development.
I wanna share how I found MY perfect solution for a ROM which had to fulfill my needs which are:
- fully german localized, because I am a german Kraut
- no major bugs, if possible also no minor bugs
- eye candy
- smooth operation
- good battery performance
- Sense UI 2.1 with weather clock
You have to know I am a "power user", which means I am using the phone for managing my mails (Profimail), surfing the web, chatting, watching Youtube vids, doing phone calls (even that!), playing games, listen to web radio and also FM radio and much more.
After flashing a huge amount of the available ROMs, tweaking them and finally being disappointed after using them for a few days because of the bugs here and there, this is what is working for me for a handful of days now and as far as I can tell, this will be a keeper on my phone:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
I flashed Itjes Touch It v3 (german edition) which can be found here: KLICK ME!
This ROM at least was fully german, smooth, with a good RAM usage and a good default software setup. Also it doesnt drain the battery as much as the Manila 2.5 ROMs do.
But this ROM disappointed me in two things, which now are solved for me:
Bug:
There was a (known) problem with the hardware keyboard when trying to type formula data inside Opera browser.
Solution:
Installing Opera 9.7 solved the issue. Cab can be found here: http://www.opera.com/mobile/download/
Bug:
In the german rom the software dialer pad was misaligned and unusable, see this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4832499&postcount=39
Solution:
As I wrote above, I also was looking for eyecandy on my Xperia. I did experiment with various themes and finally settled on the Dusk theme.
Installing the Dusk (Rhodium) dialer fixed the dialer issue!
The complete Dusk theme for Sense 2.1 can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=570322
Addons (the dialer!) can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=524797
For completion I added S2U2 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=527523) with dusk theme (http://s2u2.lifestylepics.de/?page=b&e_id=63).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
For me this combination seems a perfect solution, maybe some of my german mates here can benefit from my experience.
Again a big THANK YOU! to the ROM devs, in this case especially to Itje!
Have fun,
OldNick
Thank you for sharing these informations with us and especially thank you, those who made these nice Rom's and Cab's.
I flashed many Rom's and jumped from one to the other and there are so many, that I have lost the overview. What I miss, is a list with ratings of the Rom's and some kind of clearly laid out list of critique.
But to cut a long story short, great Rom, great Cabs, great advice.

Great solution, although the original dailer would be better than the dusk dialer.
and unfortunately still the mms issue here which I haven't been able to solve...
I added the X2 dialer. Looks rather precious.

Whats wrong with the Dusk dialer? I like how it integrates in the rest of the dusk-themed system. The original dialer would look a bit strange... At least for my taste.

questions?
Can you tell me some more about the ram-usage?
How much ram is available after some time of normal usage?
On my device its around 50-60% after use of some apps and stays there. Beside running different apps I also have a handful of appointments with reminders active each day and I am using the phone as router for my notebook too. I didnt face any RAM problems up to now. Of course a small bit of the RAM is needed by the dusk theme, so you wont be able to come down to 40-45%.
Great
That sounds great ! I will give it a try
Thank you for sharing your experiences with this rom.
My last WM6.5 was a catastrophy and I was just on my way back to the original wm6.1 rom.
Greetz
Marc
Good luck!
Good luck and tell us your experience with this combination!
Thanks man, finally a WM6.5 which works. Every other german RON I tried, was deleted just a few hours later. Everytime switchd back to cmex 0.8 WM6.1.
Nice solution, looks pretty neat, but has issues - at least for me. Maybe you can help?
For one, the Weather tab just won't update - it did once, 4 days ago, but never since. Hitting the refresh button makes that little globe icon rotate for a few seconds, then nothing. Any suggestions?
Also, Google Maps doesn't seem to pick up any satellites - maybe it doesn't interface with GPS properly, maybe GPS just doesn't see any satellites (weather has been rather crappy these days, so I'm rather reluctant to go out). QuickGPS won't update either. I'm getting slightly frustrated here...
No problems at all on my phone. Everything works properly. Do you have a naked one installed or do you have other apps installed as well?
I followed the suggestions in the original post to get the entire look (very neat), only additional piece of software I installed was Mobipocket Reader.
I really have no idea what the problem is here... Might have to reset and see what that changes.
looks very interesting to me. I always looked for max speed and eyecandy. I also like wm6.5 wich is much more finger friendly. Probably will check this one out. how is battery performance?? always had problams with my X1 and its battery. It sometimes only last for one or two days because of heave performance usage in the background. the real x-button never worked for me :-(
Ok, so I just installed this ROM and also modified it the same way you did. At the beginning typing with the virtual keyboard went fine. But suddenly without any know reason the virtual keyboard changed into "nubmer input" so just signs and numbers. And the key to switch back to qwertz is missing. it should be next to # but there is only a black button. Any suggestions?
Would really appreciate it, if I don't have to do a hard reset or switch to another ROM.
The same problem I've got also.
I already made some posts like http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5256704&postcount=972 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=606499 but no solution yet. Thinking about changing to another german ROM like XKan's Topaz v1.07 or YYYYY's H.V4.1
Which Radio version you use?!
tried what you said... and its very nice thx but just use the x2 dialer instead and dont use the dusk theme :] and opera 10 beta which is awesome
I found a way to switch back to "normal keyboard" but not to disable number keypad at all. You have to search for persons in your contact menu. Maybe another textfield works also.
I'm using Softwareversion R3AA010
I don't know why, but my battery decreses really fast since yesterday. I charged it using notebook connection. Before I installed this ROM I always had problems with killing Active Sync. I disconnected from the notebook, Active Sync closed but after some time started again and ran in background. How longs does your battery last?
When I change the settings for the softkeys in settings/personal,
it always resets it to default when restarting the device,
any fix for that?
