TouchFLO 2D for Other HTC Devices

2008-09-16
hey guys it's brandon minuman from pocketnow.com you know a lot of people really like touchflo 3d it's a fantastic way to kind of pictures and your your weather and get to your internet favorites and that sort of thing but it's only available on the touch diamond and touch pro right now and there have been other attempts to bring touchflo 3d to other windows mobile devices for example there's throttle launcher and I showed you this in a video recently so it does an okay job it doesn't look quite like the original touchflo 3d that you have on the touch diamond and touch bro but but it's okay but fortunately the guys over at XDA developers have found a way to extract touchflo 2d as they're calling it from the upcoming HTC touch 3g and the result is a program that will work on any windows mobile HTC touch screen device such as the titan to this is the titan to right here it'll work on the HTC touch it'll work on the the original titan and a lot of other devices and it looks really good so you can slide your finger along the bottom and this is kind of a weird perspective and it looks just like the touchflo 3d interface there are some changes there's actually some additions and some subtractions so we have the Home tab which has this fantastic clock here we have the people tab which instead of you know if you remember touchflo 3d you could flick through your favorite people with this it's more of a tile-based interface we can still see our messages here we can flick through them I don't have any messages there we can go over to our mail messages and we can flick through them like in touch flo 3d but it's not kind of tilted in a three-dimensional way but that's ok over to the internet pain we have our internet favorites but this is actually broken it doesn't work and this is probably because the the the upcoming HTC devices wall of opera and there's no opera included on this device over in the Photos tab we can still flick through our pictures although it's not as 3d like as touchflo 3d obviously I mean this device doesn't have a dedicated GPU if we go over to music it kind of works the same way it will search for music on your device and I don't have any music on my device right now if we go to weather unfortunately weather doesn't work yet and this is one of the areas that it's broken and just to be sure it wasn't just this device I tested it on the you know the touch over here so it's not just this device and if we go over to the right we have something new and it's called map search which I'm assuming we'll link a search from from touchflo 2d to Google Maps this to doesn't work for some reason so that's about it for touchflo 2d it's not completely finished yet as you can see but it really does a nice job at sprucing up here today screen and it has a lot of the animations and the features that you can find on touchflo 3d on the on the higher end HTC devices that's it for now
