HTC Home Pluggin Touch???? - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

Can some one make the HTC home Pluggin real touch like.
I mean instead of pressing the House, little buddy, sun, etc etc icons, just use your finger to change the page on the pluggin?
It would really add that final touch to the HTC pluggin.

You can already. If you are having trouble adjust the touch screen sensitivity. Mine works using thumb or finger or stylus straight out of the box.
Cheers
Paul

you can?
Are you telling me you have the page flip effect when you move your finger to the side? ON the HTC Home Screen?

I see what you are saying
But, I wish I had the page flip option on the today screen, not after the cue is launched. Fliping on the weather pluggin

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.
i still want to keep the htc home in my today screen.

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.

Please don't go digging in the graveyard, it disturbs the other corpses
Try going to settings>today>items>uncheck touchFlo

Screen tilts the wrong way using HTChome plugin.

Hi.
I'm wondering if there is a way to make the HTC home plugin to rotate the screen to the left and not right. It is annoying having to tap the icon twice to get i right.
The HTC home screen has a function that rotates the screen the way I want it, but I don't fancy using the home screen.
Stian.
Did you ever figure it out? Driving me bonkers too
Let me know if you figured out a solution. I'm stumped too. Programs that auto-rotate go the right way for a right-handed person. It's just the HTC Home plugin that defaults to a lanscape for left-handed people.
WMP also rotates the "wrong" way.
Doesn't do it to me. But I'm using one of Dutty's ROM. The only time it does the wrong rotation is when I view HTC albums.

Scrolling with wheel.

Hi there.
Is there a plugin which will delete scroll bars from today screen. I just wan't to scroll my today screen with the scroll wheel so that there are no scroll bars present.
This would a lot when using keyboard because scroll bar is so small when using phone with keyb. so it would be nice to be able to scroll the whole screen not only the bottom part of today screen.
You either need to remove some items from the today screen or make them smaller (if that's an option).

I would like to have more items on today screen but I'm annoyed by that horrible scroll bar.
My friend has a small hp ipaq smartphone and it has this kind of "no scrollbar" function.

TouchFlo 3D - Am I missing something?

Hello everyone
Is there any way to scroll through the icons at the bottom of the home screen quickly, without having to flick through one at a time? It takes forever to get from Home to Weather or Settings because each time you scroll along one icon the main display changes.
I guesss basically I want scroll through the icons without each tab being displayed as you go.
Cheers for any help with this.
put your finger on the bottom menu and slide to the correct item.
look at a demo on coolsmartphone.com our youtube. it goes pretty fast
Aha, so I was missing something. Excellent, thanks very much!
Put your finger on the "Selector"/cube/active icon of the mode selector bar, then you'll notice that the screen will have an overlay of the currently selected mode, now you can slide your finger to the mode you want.

Multi-touch screen?

While tinkering with google map's I noticed that the screen seems to respons to 2 seperate points? give it a try for yourself. I used my finger to move side to side and the pointer to move up and down, this worked together and independantly on my phone. If this is the case can we see software to support this function such as image resize and so on?????
P.S. a couple of other things to try.....
Hold volume up button and press the action button (this brings up the screen calibation)
I think this has been mentioned before but there is a easteregg in the weather screen
If you tap on the dark bar that says weather near the side Left then Right it run's a demo of the various animations.
I don't think it's multi touch, it just finds the mean of the two points you press. It's the same if you use two fingers in some touch pads at laptops. Try this and you may understand what I'm talking about. Start google maps and touch the left part of the screen. While keeping your finger down, touch the right part and see when happens. With both fingers down, release the left finger and see what happens. This is due to the way the touch screen works, but it's definitely not multitouch.
Good tips for the screen calibration and the animations demo (although it doesn't show all animations - I didn't see the fog animation )
