TouchFLO Clarification Please

I stopped by the Verizon kiosk today and was playing with their variant of the Elf/Touch and I noticed that the screen is a lot more sensitive to using a finger for navigation (for example, touching the Task Manager or the Signal Indicator brings up the intended menu very reliably, despite their small size). Is this the result of TouchFLO software and is it possible for a Kaiser to operate with the same level of sensitivity?
From what I gathered, TouchFLO only allows for "gestures" to be recognized, usually in order to activate a Cube program. Can someone clarify?
I apologize in advance if this has been covered in another post; searching out an answer is difficult when nearly every ROM includes the word "TouchFLO" in its description.

you can increase the sensitivity of the touch screen by going into advanced config and setting the touchflo sensitivity to a higher number...i have mine set at 5000, the default is like 200, give it a try, i'm fairly certain you'll like it much better.

and you found that 5000 gives the best results or was that just an example? It is taking a soft reset every time to check if it's better.

TouchFlo: No more horizontal scrolling

I just flashed my T-Mobile MDA Compact IV with the original Dutch HTC ROM. Everything is working perfectly except for one thing: I no longer have horizontal scrolling in TouchFlo. I mean, if I want to go from the clock to contacts, and I swipe my finger horizontally, it moves to contacts instantly instead of scrolling.
I already tried to disable/enable scrolling using Advanced Config, but that didn't help. Am I missing a settings somewhere?

This feature was removed with the change to 1.93.x.x Roms to speed things up in the interface. Trading off Eye Candy vs Speed. You cannot get it back short of switching to and older Rom like 1.37.x.x which was the vintage my unit shipped with.

(First of all, thank you for your answer.)
Too bad. Where can I find what the differences are between 1.93.x.x and 1.37.x.x?

if you cant live without those animations i suggest Swtos new 0.98 ROM with Touch FLO 3D 1.0. its fast as hell too!

It's not that I can't live without it, it's just that I really liked it... Weird though that they didn't make switching it back on an option.

Look into this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=421434
You can install tlr-manila.cab to enable it.

Thank you for your reply.
Yes, I had tried that already but not only will that give me back the scrolling effects, but the slowness as well.

I have horizontal scrolling with SwiftBL v6 1.93 ROM.
EDIT: Oh, you mean the animated horizontal scrolling, yeh thats gone but it feels faster without it.

this is really funny...
i've upgraded to rom ver 1.93 since day one of launch and still have the horizontal scrolling between tabs in manila....
been reading so many threads about the disabled scrolling, really wonder why...
even my wife's TD retained the scrolling effect after upgrade
and i've not tweaked both TDs after the rom upgrading

I hope HTC'll make an option available to enable/disable graphic effects in a next room (it'd be the same thing Sony Ericsson did with P900 to speed up the symbian OS).
Yes, It' true, now it's much faster, but I loved those stupid effects ...

Wait. I still can move through the screens sliding the tab with my thumb, but I neither have sliding effect nor fade effect for blocks background. This is what I call "graphic effects".
Zippy1970, your problem is you can't move through the screens sliding the tab with your thumb, isn't it?

well
Since i have my Diamond i Flashed Swift's 6.0 ROM and the TouchFLO Side scrolling is still there and the ROM is FAAAST

A few things/questions/problems... :D

Hi there,
I just got my diamond yesterday and I am very happy with it but some things really annoy me:
- Why did HTC took the green flashing light out of this device? Every HTC Device I used before had it (Himalaya, Magician, Prophet, StrTrk, Hermes). I really loved it, same with the Bluetooth LED...
Now the question: Is it really gone or maybe near the light sensor and can be activated via software ?
- The sensitivity of the Touchscreen is not as good as it was on my hermes. Where can I set this ?
- Why are the symbols in the taskbar for battery, 3G, G, E etc. so ugly ? They looked much better in the QVGA Versions. Any way to change them?
- Why are the ringtones so low on volume in comparison to hermes ? I hardly recognize when it rings in my pocket and I am in my car. Any way to make it louder ?
- The Startmenu is WAY to big, is it possible to make it in the old QVGA style ? Same for the context-menus. I don't like such big "recently used program icons" in my startmenu :-/
In all other manners it is a top device, I love it! Even the small battery is no problem for me because my hermes did not last longer than a day either. That was because of 3G Direct Push.
Any suggestions to my questions ?
Thanks in advance!
Kind regards from germany,
T.Sami

I can answer to this question. If you go to Settings, System and TouchFlo you can make it in the old style. I thinks the bigger one is much better because it allow you to use the menu with fingers.

Fix the Backlight when in AutoAdjust

As you could see, when using the "Auto adjust brightness" option to use the light sensor, the LCD uses only 30% to 70% of the available range.
When using the diamond as GPS, by night, this one is too bright.
So, with the LightSensorSDK, I wrote this program which changes the brightness of the LCD, according to the ambient light, from 0% to 70% (in order to save the battery power)...
Don't forget to uncheck the Auto adjust function...
To use it :
Install the cab,
Uncheck the Auto adjust backlight option,
SoftReset your Diamond...

Program is constantly using high amount of cpu (~50 %) I think querying the sensor via the sdk is very computation-intensive. Uninstalled it now, but I like the idea, please continue to work on.
regards,
Daniel

Also, can we get one that uses %0-%100, sometimes 70 just doesnt cut it in direct sunlight...but the concept is really really good!

What are you using to monitor your CPU ?
Attached is a newer version (at 0% only if very dark), I have set via Advanced Config to 1000 the Light Sensor Interval...
This interval is used to know when to change the slider position...
In HKLM\NikisLight, you can set Maximum (10 is max) and Minimum (1 is min).

HomeScreen ++ (formerly known as batterystatus), after uninstalling the cab the usage went back to normal.

The second Cab file is better... Try this one...

I'll do so, and let you know my findings.

very cool
if we could figure out how to do these changes in the OS rather then using a thirdy party app it would be amazing. I have been looking into this my self though and cannot find how to yet.

Now it's working fine on my device, no more high cpu utilization.
What I see now is that it's a little bit too dark in normal rooms, may i "pitch" up the lowest treshold a little bit through any seeting?
Thanks for the most precious helpfull app since a long time ;-)
regards,
Daniel

Thanks for your great application. However, after install the program, the backlight become flicker once per second (even I cover the light sensor). Is it possible to lower the sampling period or have any solutions.

Thanks, the application is uninstallable?
Ciao, Andrea

any chance this app can be reworked to use the kaiser's keyboard ambient light sensor? i'm sure lots of us would appreciate the functionality.
cheers.

great application!!
i always found 70% is not bright enough under direct sunlight

Great one ... also found that in dar the screen was way too bright and little lesser would be nice.
Thanks, and hope this suits and works well.
Can you please make one from 10(15)% -to- 70%, as at 0% the pics seem very dark .... thank you and much appreciated.

Is it possible to have a 0% to 100% version?
Many thanks.
Ciao, Andrea

can we uninstall it like other cab file?

Nice app, nice idea. I installed it on my CDMA Sprint Diamond, and I'm not sure that it has any effect. I have two of the same devices and compared them side-by-side and the app seems to not make a difference.
Thanks!

I have install it on the diamond, but it change the light like crazy. Under the sun, it goes to the minimum. I have change the backlight interval with advanvce config, from 300ms to 1000, and back again, but the problem is the same.
Is there any chance to make it better?

You can change it yourself

G-Sensor Improvements

Hello
Anyone could tell me how make better and more faster the screen's rotation and so,improve g-sensor applications too?I found them a bit lagged....
Does it needs some change in registry editor?Or some nice .CAB?
Thanks

No way?Please...

What SensorSDK have you installed on your Diamond?

I think G-Sensor basic...sorry i'm a n00b

you may have accidentally changes the gsen polling (by trying to install an app that prevents the screen from timing out most likely). You can reset the gsen polling to 200 which is stock: hklm\drivers\builtin\gsensor\pollinginterval

Yeah thanks
Checked but it's already setted to 200....
