One of the developers on xda-developers.com has just ported a new ROM over to the HTC Polaris with what looks to be Manila (TouchFLO) 2D. udK has not give much info on where the original ROM came from, but as you can see the interface is very similar to the one of the HTC Diamond, but runs a lot faster. The assumption is that the ROM was ported from the HTC Opal, which is expected to lanch next week in Asian as a replacement for the HTC Touch. At the moment, a few other developers on xda-developers are working to extract Manila 2D from the ROM and port the program over to other HTC device.
Don’t forget to check out the video of the ROM in action after the break.
UPDATE: The geniuses on xda-developers have been able to get the Manila 2D interface to run on almost all HTC device. There are a few glitches still since there is a lot of extra software that the interface relies on to work properly, but it’s definitely the best interface upgrade anyone could ask for.
Check out the Manila 2D thread and the skinning thread on xda-developers.
