I recently read a post on HTCSource.com reg the TouchFlo interface with some new roms, It was time for me to flash the ROM on the ageing TyTn. Luckily for me there was a TyTN ROM with the new Manila 2D. I fashed it on to my device and the initial experience is really good. For those who wants to try the new interface with out flashing on to a new ROM juz jupm on the official Manilla Porting thread @ xda-developers.com. There are a few bugs with the application like the audio manger doesn’t update the name of the song, etc
