OK... So what exactly is TouchFlo? - Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading

I don't mean to sound dumb, but I have the touch-it rom on my wing and im trying to figure out whats so different from my orinal tmobile rom as far as this touch flo thing goes... in my setings i keep seeing something about a cube and all but i dont see a cube... I go to programs and tap touchflo but nothing special or magical happens... I just need help... is this just a name or should my phone have things flowing on screen or what?

read the forum post for the touch-it series. it says you have to go into the settings under programs and select how to start the touchflo cube. after first installing it won't work until you do this.

^^^ I did but i still never see anything...

i went on you tube and i see what it is supposed to do do but my phone still isnt doing it...

After enabling the cube and setting 'View mode' to 'TF default v4.1', press whatever button activates TouchFlo and sweep your thumb from the bottom of the screen to the middle/side. The cube should appear. If not, press the TouchFlo button again and sweep from side to side and see if that works. Don't use your finger tip either. It may not recognize it. When the cube finally appears, sweeping from side to side will roll it. Use the sweep from the bottom of the screen to the middle/side to close the cube.

OK guys i got it working... this is pretty neat

Thanks for all the help^^^^

TouchFlo is one of those "ooo look at this" although it isn't very useful! haha.

i don't use the cube either, on the other hand i won't be able to go w/o the finger scrolling anymore...very useful

Oh yeah, True that. I love the finger scroll on the contact list.

Is there a way to turn off TouchFLO?

i dont like to use touch flo and would like to know if someone has found a way to disable it ?
thanks, eric
their is touchflo option in settings (under system I think), should allow you to disable it
Go to the the TODAY settings...
From the Today Screen:
1. Go to SETTINGS
2. Select TODAY icon
3. Select ITEMS tab (at the bottom)
4. UNCHECK the "HTC Home" item
5. Click OK and go back to the Today Screen
It should be gone!

the touchflo (finger panning) option is the one i want to turn off.

there is only one checked box about the sound on/off when panning. no where to disable it.
I'd love to turn touchflo off. It seems pretty worthless. It scrolls a page to slowly and in PIE its hard to get it to stop when u get to a spot you want to view.

I had followed above with soft reset also, but still the "touch flo" function running in PIE. This is pretty annoying and useless function if you used to your finger scrolling webpages with PIE plus.
Another one can helps..Thank.
Try changing HKLM\Software\OEM\TFLOSettings\EnableScroll to 0 then reboot.
I haven't tried it yet.

That worked perfect neighbor. The touchflo scrolling made it near impossible to drag separator lines. I greatly prefer to tap in the scroll-bar field to page up/down. Thanks again.

Out of curiosity does that change also speed up PIE scrolling the normal way ? - cos it's super laggy and worse than TyTn in the out of the box setup.

Well if i hold my finger in the scroll bar field it will page up/down at 4 pages a second. The reg edit doesn't seem to have changed anything other than the touchflo scrolling
TouchFlO Scrolling and Sound
A Couple questions here:
Is there a way to tweak touchflo scrolling such that it only goes one page length at a time, instead of 4 or 5?
Is there away to turn of the clicking sound as it scrolls?
I'm assuming these are just annoyances of an immature feature that was rushed out the door, but hoping there are fixes available or that HTC is smart enough to fix the problems in future releases.

Have you even looked at the settings in your tilt\Kaiser? you would have found atleast on answer to your questions just by looking around and learning your device!
I guess to each his/her own, but I personally think the TouchFLO interface is a huge improvement in usability. Perhaps it just takes some getting used to. And with TouchFLO, you can still essentially do all the things you could without TouchFLO. E.g. the scroll bars are still there to be used if you like that. And you can still use the stylus for normal operations. There seems to be some confusion about how it works so let me explain the "use cases".
The way TouchFLO works is this:
- use a finger (not your fingernail) to "drag" the screen up/down (or even left/right if the page is wider than the screen). The page should drag with your finger. It's semi-smooth. Not truly smooth, but smooth enough. When you drag, DON'T lift your finger from the screen till you've got it positioned to your desired spot.
OR
- If you use your finger (not your fingernail) to swipe up or down AND LIFT your finger fromthe screen as you do it, then the screen with scroll by itself to the end in that direction or until you tap the screen again to stop it.
OR
- if you use the stylus or your fingernail, then it will NOT scroll like above. It will then behave like a normal stylus control (highlites and selects instead of scrolling).
So, the screen reads a broad touch (like your finger) differently than a narrow/pinpoint touch (like your nail or stylus).
once I got used to it, i found it to be an excellent upgrade in the interface. I don't think it was a "feature that was rushed out the door" at all. in fact that it reads the stylus and your finger differently speaks to the idea that thought went into it.
Use it on a web page to see the different use cases. If you browse a PDF file, it'll drag even with a stylus because you can't "highlight and select" within a PDF file, so it knows that use case is invalid.
Also, You can change the sensitivity by using a reg tweak: HKLM-DRIVERS-TOUCHPANEL-PRESSURE THRESHOLD. Increase/decrease it for more/less sensitivity.

Nice writeup, thanks!
Richard "Still Jonesing for a Tilt"
I wish there was a way to partially disable the Kaiser implementation of touchflo --specifically, the feature where if you drag scroll and your finger ends up at one of the edges of the screen (which is really easy on a 2.8" screen using your thumb) it goes into the continuous scrolling mode. I wish those edge regions of the screen were treated just like any other.

Thanks from me too for this tip. I don't use TouchFLO and I found the touchscreen on my TyTN II a bit annoying with this enabled. Sometimes it wouldn't react to tapping so I had to tap twice. This was maybe one out of every three or four taps.

TouchFLO and CUBE

Doe's any body know where I can download full version of TouchFlo and TouchCube for my Kaiser!!!
Google.com is your friend.
There are lots of versions of the cube out there so there isn't an easy answer.
I have been messing around with the cube tonight and i think the nicest "free" version that you can get going yourself is:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=336234
This is slither's flash based cube. You will need to install FtouchFLO and Flash Lite to get it working. If you read through that thread you should get enough info to get you going.
If you don't want to do the legwork you have a few options:
1) Download a ROM with a Cube cooked in
2) Download UltimateLauncher, a nice desktop shell that emulates a cube type effect (as well as other animation options)
3) Try and then buy either Touch Commander or Spb Mobile Shell. Both have "Cube-like" menus that you can use.
Thanks man!!!Serbia thanks you
HTC TouchFlo and Cube vs. scroll bar
I'm running one of the cooked ROMs with the cube and touchflo... I noticed that I have to add most programs as an exception in the touchflo configuration otherwise the cube will launch or the program will minimize if I move the scroll bar too quickly. Is there a way to adjust touchflo to only recognize slides that are done in the center of the screen? Otherwise I have to add every program with a scroll bar to the exception list because touchflo messes up the scrolling.
Does the stock HTC Touch have this problem?

I used to adjust the Timeout using Schaps TouchFlo Config tool, the lower you make this number the quicker you have to swipe to lauch the Cube.
So long as I scrolled at a sensible speed the cube would not launch.
But that's in the past, Cubes are pretty, but I never use them, other than to show off.
Thanks
Dave.
I wish I could just have the picture dialing instead of the hole cube. I guess a one sided cube. Doesnt really make sense does it.
One place to check
HTC Home comes with most ROMS now standard with a few exections but I cant exactly remember where found my Touchflow version but i included it below also check out this site because they have a great htc home screen customizer http://www.pocketemu.com/download.html I hope this helps.

TouchFLO 3D problem

I'm HTC Touch diamond holder and i have one problem. When i swipe left across the screen to move to the next tab, and swipe right across the screen to move to the previous tab the movement is not 3D.The program that i was install was only Skype and IGO8.I see the problem after installation.I have make hard reset of the device but the problem exist.Is there some hidden settings or something to do to come back the 3D effect(like rotation) when i browse trough tabs.Now the tabs(HOME to example and PEOPLE)just appear off and on without this 3D effect.Please Help me.
Could you post a screenshot? I don't understand exactly what you mean. Someone else does probably..
Look at the presentation of touchflo in official site.
http://www.htc.com/www/product/touchdiamond/touchflo-3d.html
When you change the item from menu (e.g. Home screen to People screen), the change is 3D (home screen disappear with movement to the left and appear people screen from right....like circulating motion).I do not know how to explain how 3D menu works, but this is shown on the link that i post.In my case Home screen just disapear ....not to left.
Sory for my english.
The slide show for separate items in touchflo menu is 3D(not for me). I put one wallpaper and that was my mistake.But after hard reset the problem remains. My ROM version is 1.93.4****
"It's becouse of the TF3D version.
Try this one, it will be a little slower but you will have the 3d thing "
I have the old TF3D version, but the opload won't work...
But thats what you need!!
Tank you very much. I thing the problem was from me with the software or wallpaper i use it.
It might be your ROM version as well.....
because in the 1.93 ROM, they removed the lag between the tabs and so the 3D effect.....the solution listed above should help you and take away your problem, but than it's a little bit laggy....
if you can live with that..allright
good luck

Landscape Toggle?

Hi
I'm a big noob and I apologize in advance if this has been covered, but I have been looking everywhere for it and dont even know what it would be called. I have an AT&T Tilt and running mbarvian's amazing Solacev 3.1 ROM. I recently spilled coffee on my phone and cant use the qwerty correctly. I ordered a new one on Ebay, but it will be a while before it gets here. I have installed the HTCDiamond qwerty on the phone, and really like it. I would prefer to use it in landscape when I SMS and browse online. Is there a way I can put my phone into landscape without flipping the qwerty out? Maybe a setting I cant find or a .cab out there I dont know about? What I would like is a program where I could assign it to a button to put the phone into landscape view. Any idea what I'm talking about or am I just retarded?
You could use mortscript (you'll find it somewhere around here) and create a script to flip it into landscape. Dead easy.
simple!
i have button 6 hold (button 6 is the PTT button on the left side of the device above the scroll wheel) mapped to "Rotate Screen".
goto Settings->Personal->Buttons and select "Button 6 (hold)" (or whatever button you want) and map it by choosing "<Rotate Screen>" near the top in the drop down list on the bottom.
Awesome, thanks alot
