I have Dutty's latest rom and want to increase the speed of the touchflo scrolling. I found it in the registry but it doesn't seem to be working, any advice?
I tried searching but the wrong stuff came up.
Anyone have an answer?
*Bump*
Searched for "Touchflo speed" and "Touchflo" and did not find anything relevant to my question other than this thread.
So, how can one increase the rate of speed when touchflo is scrolling? (i.e. Dutty's Roms claims to do it on his release notes)
I imagine it is a registry edit?
Thanks.
have you tried soft resetting the device after changing your setting in the reg?
It will no doubt be in memory, and so needs a kick up the bum to realise the key has changed. Or you have the wrong key and that's why it isnt working.
On mine, if i move my thumb quicker, my scroll is quicker.
Thanks for the tips. I actually don't know what the registry edit would be to make it go faster. I have the default settings at the moment. Using udK's rom and although I can tweak touchflo a bit with Kaiser Tweak, there are no settings for making it scroll faster.
If there is a specific registry edit to use, could someone point me in the right direction?
Check kaisertweak.... a sticky thread of this forum
I have Kaiser Tweak installed and I have played with it but I don't see any difference. I see options for "sensitivity" is that meant to be a speed increase or the actual pressure one has to put on the screen? I did play with it a bit and didn't see a difference in actual scrolling speed.
Edit- Just looked at Kaiser Tweak again and there is an option for enabling disabling Touchflo, turning off sound, and two options for how much force one needs to use when scrolling. I don't see any options for increasing scroll speed unless somehow more force=faster scrolling? If that's the case, just let me know.
This thread is in danger of dying once again without an answer (on 3rd page now). Anyone?
edit:
mistook the question to be trying to speed up the cube. Sorry.

what they mean by sensitivity is that fact of how hard you need to push down on the screen in order for the cube to work... it has nothing to do with the speed.
So the question still remains. How do you do it?

I have searched through this forum, some say the AT&T branded Kaiser (Tilt) does have TouchFlo, others say it doesn't. My Tilt definitely DOES NOT have it. Is there anyone out there with an AT&T TILT and does have the touchflo straight out of the box? Is there a way for me to add it since it currently isn't there on mine? Thanks!

TouchFlo = Finger Scroll *NOT* the Cube interface.
Start --> Settings --> System --> TouchFlo (to enable and disable sound)
Posted by jomo25:
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).

Thanks for the additional info. I have seen that post before on this forum though and it is more of an explanation of what touchflo is. I am aware of the difference between the cube touchflo and the finger scroll touchflo. My Tilt has neither. When I go to Start->Settings->System there in nothing in there for touchflo. So my questions still remain, with a slight adjustment...
Is there anyone out there with an AT&T TILT and does have the *finger-scroll* touchflo straight out of the box? Is there a way for me to add it since it currently isn't there on mine? Thanks!
I have no touch-flo icon either in my System folder.

/agree
mine is in the mail and I thought it had the touch flow
I am sure someone will have a fix for it soon enough
I have a Tilt's and so do my two coworkers and they all have touchflo out of the box. Did you soft reset the phone before the customization was completed?
no biggie at all....most will flash to htc rom......and it definately does have the touchflo in the settings...i have a tilt and am using touchflo
The Tilt Does Have Touchflo
The Tilt owners above are correct in that in Start\Settings\System, there is no Touchflo Icon. This however does not mean the device does not have touchflo, because indeed it does. If anyone finds where this icon exists or how we can add a shortcut, please let us all know.
It took a bit of reading for me to understand how to use touchflo and the first post above is a great tutorial.
For me, it took more finger pressure on the screen than I expected to make touchflo work and that may be confusing people as well as the lack of an icon to manage the settings.
To demonstrate to yourself, open an application that is scrollable, like messaging, or IE. Use more pressure than you would expect on the screen and move your finger up, down or sideways in a long flicking motion and you will see touchflo working. Perform the touch again to stop technique or the touch and drag and you will find it works great on the Tilt
Good Luck and enjoy touchflo!
It is supposed to have the "finger scroll TouchFLO" out of the box on the Tilts as MardiG says. if it does not, then your phone's software is not complete. Even if you don't have the "Control Panel" setting, the functioanlity is supposed to be there. I'd get another one if ti doesn't. Or hard reset and let the software customization run again.
thanks for all the posts! very helpful!! i tested and touchflo is definitely not working on mine. i tried the hard reset but that didn't help. i guess i'll have to take this one back to the store and hope they have some left in stock. Thanks again!!

my tilt has touchflo - no settings in Settings->System however.
have to modify via registry
Same here ... I have Touchflo but nothing in Settings. The best way to see if you have it is to open Contacts. If you have more than a page or two of Contacts you will be able to tell if your Touchflo is active or not.
Open Contacts and drag you finger from the bottom to the top of the screen ... as if you dragging the bottom toward the top. You should definitely see the scrolling of the Contacts is it's working.
I did a soft-reset during the AT&T customization so that none of the bloatware would be on the Tilt.
TouchFlo is actually working - even though I don't have an icon in the System Settings.
Open up an IE page that would normally need scrolling up/down, and follow the instructions on how to actually use TouchFlo on the first page of this thread - I think it is Post # 2.
I tested mine using the instructions and it works - just have to get used to it (and NO it doesn't work as well as that "other" phone).

I did and it still had touchflo, just no control panel for it. I'm on the HTC rom now and it has the control panel.

But it still has it I'm willing to bet, unless you got some messed up ROM on yours. Try the scrolling in IE and see if it works.
I have used both models and the finger scrolling works on the Tilt. The Kaiser settings have only one checkbox and it is to turn the "clicking" sound on or off. The default is on for the Tilt, and my guess is you will need to tweak the registry to get it turned off.
there's tweak app in the sticky which can set sensitivity of touch flo
TouchFlo not on my Tilt
I just searched my Tilt for TouchFlo files with Total Commander.
No files found.
there are no files but it is there, I did the same thing when I thought mine wasn't working. What I realized is it will not work with Opera mini, I am assuming in won't work in any java app. Goto espn.com in PIE and then try it there, it is a big page so there is plenty to scroll.
No settings area on my Tilt, but TouchFlo works
Ah Ha, ok.... i do have it.... just need to scrool towards the top when i want the list to scroll!!!
When I read e-mail, the cursor automatically goes to the middle of the message instead of starting at the top. I can't find another comment on this.
I have the stock AT&T ROM (I know, lame), Kaiser Tweaks, and standard e-mail application.
Any ideas?

Had same problem myself.
Check out this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=351296
Maybe similar to your problem?
I am sure this never happened to mine before either.
EDIT: Just to test I backed up my phone and did a hard reset. Lo and behold it was fine without Kaiser Tweaks! Will let the guys know on their thread.
This is a side effect in the nav pad tweak that allows better scrolling in IE. Normally IE jumps from link to link and the tweak was created to allow right press to page down. The side effect is that messages open at the end instead of the beginning. So it depends on which function is most useful to you as to enable this tweak or not.

This is the solution! I disabled the nav pad scrolling in IE in the Kaiser Tweaks and soft reset. I use Opera Mini as my internet browser so I am not sure why I enabled it in the first place.
Thank you very much. I really appreciate it.
Hi, I am just thinking, old HTC Universal (VGA), has smoother icon redraw than brand new HTC Diamond. So, where is the problem? WM 6.1 are not slower than WM 5.0, both devices has VGA screen. Universal should not be faster, since Diamond CPU has same frequency but is brand new.
You're right, your thought is really random... Which icons, where, when, how? Is there a video comparing the two? How do you expect us to understand what your problem is without giving any info?
Ever heard of Glyph cache?
Oh, first, I am sorry, I should give more info, now I know it, but i thought, that icon redraw speed is just icon redraw speed, no matter where. But if you want it, so: I mean system icons like media player, games folder etc. for example in programs directory, but not just this. Even some icons in some programs, it is like I said - icon redrow speed, anywhere in whole system. And for tnyynt: Yes, i heard about Glyphcache, in fact I have doubled this cache in first week of playing with Diamond.
if you mean redrawing hole screen full of icons you re right...my asus P525 with WM5 was so much faster, slide inside programs menu isnt so smooth as well...I dont understand where is problem because the same situation in settings menu is 100% smooth without problems so why???

Could you check one thing for me? Create the situation when icons appear slow (maybe go to programs folder, you know better where exactly you are experiencing this). let the page fully load, scroll down so that all icons load, then close the folder and then reopen it. If this second time it is instant, then it's a glyph cache issue => needs higher value.
I understand you and its better i know it but as redrawing is better I never obtain smooth slideing as in settings folder and glyphcache is set to recommended 32kb... but I want to know why this never ever happened in settings menu...with using device memory is fulling that is normal for windows but performance isnt so better as should be so I think is the matter of bad written OS in this case...

If it makes you feel better, settings scrolling is better than program scrolling on my other devices too (Elf, Polaris, Trinity). It must be an OS issue.
What I did to overcome this was to restructure my programs into categories and set 4 icons/row settings, that way I never get the chance to scroll, and they appear instantly, so no icon lag.
Hello,
I would like to know if there is an app for the Diamond that allow to do what my subject say.
I know about Schaps' 5.0 ROM, but first it's not out, and second you'll need to upgrade ROM.
For a programing layman like me, it seems pretty straight forward to build a software that allow it. We can already use the capacitive round button in order to scroll lists, so what is the big problem using the G sensor to do the same thing ?
As a side note, Scroll by touch is a horrible experience on any WM device, it is simply not accurate enough to be useful, you keep entering programs when all you wanted to do is scroll, and if you don't enter programs it's still very hard to apply the needed pressure to scroll at the right velocity which will allow stopping where you want.

Try adjusting the pressure threshold in scaps advanced config. Wow this is really turning into a begginer forum!
No matter what you level you set it, it suck. Try using an iphone and you'll understand.
Hi everyone. I have the HTC Touch Pro and I was wondering if there is a way to let the scroll wheel acts like the one on ipods in order to navigate through the songs instead of finger scrolling. It would be easier and quicker I think.
use the diamond tweak program it has the option to do that

Now Now... we may aswell be nice on this forum... we have members of varying abilities... Remember everyone is special.
Just search for Diamond Tweak... copy the cab to your memory card. double click to install it your device - I suggest you install it on your memory card to save memory on the device itself...
Reset and open the new program (which should be found in your "programs page" near the end of the list you will find the option to set the wheel to scroll.
I hope this helps.
Rgs,
J
thanks man,
i think i was kind of mislead by the previous thread.
the subject was ask about how obtain more function for the scroll wheel and the answer follow seems to be suggesting the tweak.
infact the diamond tweak is much more powerful then just to enhance the scroll function. the other functions was quiet useful indeed.
wish everyone like it as i do.

I also have the touch pro, and have installed the tweek. all programs are enabled to scroll which they all do except file explorer?? any insight??
check out advanced config...open it, go to menu>more settings>smart touch. from there you can add any easily add any active program to enable usage of the smart touch/scroll wheel or see if its listed in the predefined programs. you can also adjust the sensitivity of the scroll wheel here..

Just had it working in diamond tweak, I exited and tried it in file explorer, no luck so I went back to diamond tweak and its not working for that no either. wtf
