is there a way to modify the touch cube to only reacts to ur finger swipes at the today screen, i know there is a setting in the touchflo to exclude certain programs from touchflo, but that means i have to add every program i have to make the touch cube on works in today screen. Anybody got a way? THx

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
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.
When I have both the Touch Cube and S2U2 installed, whenever I try to unlock my phone, the Cube starts instead of unlocking. When I close the cube, it goes back to S2U2, and so on... I had to soft reset my phone and uninstall the cube before I could use my phone again. Anyone else have this problem? Is there a solution?
go to the ftouchflo settings..and add the program to the exclusions..that way it doesnt activate when you try and unlock it
I have both installed. I use touchflo all the time and I've never accidentally activate the cube. In order to activate the cube you have to swipe completely accross the screen from side to side, top to bottom or bottom to top. partial swipe such as S2U2 will not activate the cube. I use pointui, opera mini4, S2U2, PIE, contacts, and pocketCM. All of those programs requires swiping the screen but not completely accross the screen. The trick is to touch the screen before you swipe. The best way to activate from the cube any program is flicking motion starting at the outside of the screen, on the bezel then on to the screen.
Or just do what volcomnator999 said and add it to the exceptions. If the cube ever comes up when you don't want it to, just add it to the exceptions, and it's no problem. No need to change your touching habits.
I have done all things you suggest but cube enable with s2u2...Can't stop it functioning with s2u2.....Any other solutions?
maybe you have older versions of those software try upgrading?
Cube e s2u2 last version....but it is possible that is touchFlo fault...The only old version program
solved!!
The configuration tool doesn't change the .txt file of touchFlo configuration. Edit the .txt and it's all ok!
Hi, I've been having the same problem with s2u2. When I go to unlock it sometimes goes to touchFLO
I've tried editing the config file, but it doesn't seem to work?
here's my config file in case it helps.

I'm not too sure why it is doing it still...
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
I'd like to set my Touchflo gesture, left to right, to rotate my screen, but i'm not sure how exactly to do so. i got as far was the part where I reconfigure gestures, but within the listing of programs, I don't know what to select. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks
i think theres an app to rotate the screen.
i think it comes with htc home.
Yea, there's one there, but do you happen to know what its name is, so that I can find it in the massive directory of all .exe's that opens when i go to configure a gesture?
yeah thats the problem.
i know folderview.exe is link to programs but i dont know about the screen rotate
Ok, first to the admins/moderators - I searched my ass off trying to find a thread with my problem, to no avail... so if there is one, please excuse me...
So here is my problem - I find it very difficult to scroll any list with my finger because I just end up selecting some item from the list... Is there any registry setting to, lets say, delay the select behavior of TouchFlo? I mean, for example, I try scrolling my contacts, I AM able to scroll but almost immediately after I start scrolling I end up selecting some contact!?! Am I the only one with that problem? PLEASE HELP!
Bump. Anyone?
I just have the problem the other way around, I just can't select multiple items because everything starts scrolling...
try scrolling with finger in more center of screen
selecting works if you scroll motion on left or right side usually

Also , make it more of a " flick " with your finger, instead of a touch and drag scroll.
So there's no registry setting? I have tried changing settings in HKLM\Software\OEM\TFLOSettings, HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCGesture, HKLM\Drivers\Touchpanel, HKLM\Software\HTC\TouchScroll... can't seem to make any difference!!! The screen becomes more responsive, scrolling is faster/slower, but no effect on my problem - whenever I try to scroll I always end up selecting... there HAS to be some setting that determines the delay from scrolling to selecting behavior... it works so well on the damn iPhone... also works beautifully on the S2U2 settings screen... they should fire all the idiots at HTC and hire the S2U2 guys to do their interface!!!

Oh well, I guess I'll just wait till some genius dev out there finds out the right registry key, I give up
I hate to say this, but I think that is the expected behavior or TouchFlo scrolling.
You can drag to scroll specifically (and I don't believe this selects anything, at least on my Tilt), or you can swipe to start kinetic scrolling. If you click while kinetic scrolling is occurring, I think TouchFlo causes a selection to be made (although in places where single-click activate is the default, I don't think it actually activates the item--it simply highlights it).
You may be able to resolve this by changing the TFLOSettings\FingerPressure value.
I had a problem for the first six months with TouchFlo where the context menu would pop up about one in three times I tried to scroll (swiping or dragging). This happened even the moment I started using the device. Completely and utterly unusable. But after the third or so time I tried adjusting TFLOSettings values in the registry, I finally solved the problem. I ended up with TFLOSettings\FingerPressure=0x64 (100) and TouchPanel\PressureThreshold=0xC8 (200).
I REALLY wish HTC or someone would produce a complete guide to customizing TouchFlo scrolling (including the meanings of the TFLOSETTINGS values). It really works well, once it is optimized. Although, it will be great if Microsoft builds scrolling into the Common Controls in WM6.5.

Actually there are genius developers in here. I think you're just being a little picky, the touch flo works fine for me.
I think I recall a touchflo sensitivity setting in KaiserTweak. Get it, then try setting the Touchflo sensitivity to the most sensitive option possible.
Dave
+1 on Kaisertweek, altho I reduced sensitivity instead of increasing it. Technique counts too. I tend to use nails or stylus for browsers, especially Opera. Use keyboard for contacts, and scrollwheel to dial it from there. Every phone is different, but reducing sensitivity via Kaisertweek worked for me.
Problem solved
Finally figured it out and now it works perfectly. The culprit was the too high value in HKLM\Drivers\Touchpanel\PressureThreshold.... I put a value of 160 (dword:000000a0) and now I have almost iPhone experience
heres a thread closer !
to bring some closure to this thread, the following utility will solve all your touchflo woes!!!
