Hi,
Since Hermes and Wizard, alongside general information and development & hacking, are starting TouchFLO topics I created this one.
Allthough much work has to be done, at least the TouchFLO theme is available for WM 6 users. Since we don't have that I wonder if it somehow can be made available for WM 5 users like us.

The only thing working on my BA is the .tsk file for the dark theme.
The today plugin won't work because it's made for wm6 using the wm6 sdk (duh!).
UPDATE:
I got the dialer and wireless/connection manager running on my BA!
The problem that I lost all sounds/mic on my device. The connmanager works and the phone make calls. But I can't hear anything and nobody can hear me. There is no beeps from the fone or anysound from programs. The solution I've found is hard-reset. I'll keep trying.
You can download the files from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311225
The today plugin still not working.
Ok, the dialer works but smartdialing stops working after first call.
The problem with no sounds from the phone is with the connmanager. Do not install it unless you want your device to be totally silent.
I have installed both the Comm manager and dialer and I have no sound issues, all my sounds work fine!
same here, no problems with the sound.
I do have the smardial problem though.

Wisbar theme
Is there a black wm6 theme that will work with Wisbar 3?
I cant find one...
I will try the conn manager again (which version are you guys using?).
for the wm6 black theme for wisbar, I'm using this one: http://lakeridgesoftware.com/forum/showthread.php?t=9264
touchflo ui will never be available in WM5, also it depends on the HTC touch touscreen driver, if simeone post a hacked one it will be available on the other wm6 devices, but for now no other than HTC Touch Has it. The theme and comm manager and smartdialing work just fine with my rom (slows the device a lot but work,you can not open the options of smart dialing), home today plugin is not compatible with WM5
everyone is crazy about htc touch, if you want it that bad just buy it
also not mentioned things in touch rom are the new windows live messenger (10.6.00.28.2700) and the new arcsoft mms 4.0.31.21) IA Zip(1.20.27526.0), Smart Dialing(2.5.27526.0), Sim Manager(6.13), Sim Access Profile, Adobe Reader LE, HTC Audio Manager, HTC Audio Today Plugin, (ported them all to wm5, and will include them in my next rom or as cabs). All of you are crazy about the gui stuff (which is not working well in wm5) but forget the important things
The today plugin would be nice but not really necessary. The comm manager have a better aparence and so the dialer.
My dialer displays the options for smart dialing but the problem is after I make or receive a call smart dialing will stop working so I need so softreset it.
As for the cube flip thing I'm not interest in it.
Basically I like the gray color scheme, the way comm manager looks and the dialer. The today plugin I got a mokup working with rltoday but it was too slow to change pages as it uses mortscript to replate the rltoday config file and reload the app.

I actually sold one of my BAs march 06 and got a wizard nib. You're missing out on a lot of sweet new items on wm6.. heres a shot of the htc touch in action

I will be looking forward your next release. What I'm saying about the touch ui it's just about the colors and visuals. If it's possible to change the colors from our current conn manager and have the dial pad like the touch one (bigger keypad) that would be nice.
As far buying the "touch" it's not a possibility right now ($) and the only reason I have the BA is because a friend gave it to me.

I know it is sort of GUI, but when Helmis WM6 ROM comes out (thanks so much Helmi), will it be possible to port the actual touchFLO interface where you dont need a stylus to read email and suchlike to the BA in WM6?
thanks,
hardingt0110
When that ROM comes out the possibilities will be the same as for other devices running WM6 so search other forum sections where available touch apps are discussed. As for the stylusless inbox control I believe the hardware upgrade would be required for its proper work.

I cant find anything usable in other threads, they're just speculating on whether the BIOCUBE will work. Can anyone provide a cab, or some other form of installing it (this is assuming we are using Helmi's WM6 BA ROM)?

there's quite a few actually
chk out the Lakeridgesoftware website in the forums they have a skins and themes section that has qwuite a few for free download, just make sure you get a QVGA version.
Also a quick google search for "4PDA.ru wisbar" will give you a russian site that has quite a few on there that aren't on the lakeridge site, and a efw that are. =)

Yes, I dont actually care now cos helmi has made a wm6 rom for the ba, but thanks anyways!
Could someone please post a picture of the standard dialer in the Kaiser?
Here's a picture of mine:
Thank you.
This is the default WM6 dialer (not sure whether it has smartdialing enabled, but usually it does). You can try switching to the HTC dialer with KaiserTweak, but that might not work (if the dialer images are not on the phone). If it doesn't work - just revert back using KaiserTweak to the WM6 dialer . Personally I prefer this dialer with smartdialing because the contacts that were dialed before show up first when dialing a name...
Also - I think schap has a dialer too - something called reTouched or so. But I didn't try it...
Thank you
But I will need a dialer with local language support.
This is not the default WM6 dialer, This is the default WM5 dialer...
I was told the same in a local forum
The question is, which dialer can I install that will support other languages?
Another option would be to customize the skin of a dialer that I like and will fit the Tilt. In this case, can anyone point me to the exact steps required to do so?
Thank you.
Don't know about localizing. Regarding whether it's the WM5 or WM6 dialer, what's the difference? When I look at the screen it looks exactly the same as the dialer on my Kaiser (WM6) when I turn of the HTC dialer (using the reg-tweak or KaiserTweak).
Regards,
Nika.
Nika, could you please expand on that?

I use EZDIAL on my Tilt, and I had the default smart dialing turned on.
This resulted in the EZDIAL serch results being obscured by the smart dialing popup window (which basically emulates what EZDIAL does, only with a nicer presentation).
I then turned off smart dialing, and can now see the EZDIAL results on screen.
But the thing is, I wanted to use a nicer smart dialer than EZDIAL, and tried to install a localized one posted in a local forum by Nadavi (a distinguished member here), and it didn't work.
So I wanted to understand why this was happening, and was told that my Tilt couldn't have any other dialer than the default one (since I'm with the standard ROM, and I need a localized skin).

its because you have a tilt as well.
original microsoft wm6 dialer:

HTC dilaer:
Does anyone know how to switch from the HTC dialer to the standard WM6 one?
The HTC dialer does not have soft 'Talk' and 'End' buttons, which I find very annoying...
What do you mean?

Download KaiserTweak, copy KaiserTweak to your machine, Download the latest XML, copy that to your machine too, and use KaiserTweak to switch between the dialers...

How can i change to HTC dilaer??? As on the second picture???
ze bediuk ma she shaalti oto...
That's the question...
As I replayed before:
I suggest the following:
1. find a full install of the dialer(I don't know of any).
2. change your rom to an HTC rom(much better! ))
3. find an answer at XDA....
wisniak, I replayed your question on ppcfreak.
Quickest way to the Dialer
This may be a silly question, but without opening the keyboard, what is the quickest way to get the dialer to appear on the screen?

Try Pressing the Green Call button on your device, that should bring up the dialer.
To change to the default WM6 dialer, which is actually listed above as the 2nd HTC dialer. Here is the registry key that needs changed:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / Security / Phone / Skin
Change the value of 'Enabled' from 1 to 0
Please note, that there is no video calling available using this dialer.
Just thought I would clarify a little bit on what these dialers actually are:
At&t WM6 Dialer:
HTC Touch style dialer:
Default Microsoft WM6 dialer:
Default Microsoft WM5 dialer:
I used Kaiser Tweak and the dialer definitely looks different now
I'll post an image later today.

Dude, you are absolutely wrong,
The first is the built in WM6 dialer, available on every WM6 phone edition (you can unhide it with a tweak manager) - all WM^ phone editions have it(never mind the colors)
The secound is the "smartdialing" HTC dialer - available only on HTC phone editions devices,(never mind the colors)
Here's what it looks now:
This is the dialer skin I have after using the Kaiser Tweak.
EZDIAL does not come up, even though it's properly installed.
Hi,
today I got my MDA compact Iv from T-Mobile, which is basically the HTC Touch Diamond.
I was so excited about this new phone and it's new features.
But I missed the Windows Live Messenger, which I need.
So far I used the MDA compact I, which got the old MSN Messenger.
I guess T-Mobile deleted it. Even with Hard reset and reset befor T-Mobile installs it's fancy software there were no Messenger.
Can you help me install it?
Thank you for your help
Idea
Any idea???
A site where to download or the files which I need???
try to setup in email settings a windows_live account first...
it will have been taken out of the ROM.
you can either install a cook rom with it in, or try and find a live messenger cab... i'm sure there is one..

edit - see above
just to make it easy for ya
go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=405728
scroll down about 3 roms (its one of the lite ones and there is a link for extra applications)
download that rar file and it will have messenger in it. and it should work fine.
Hey mattie01,
this is the first messenger running on my device. Alle the cabs from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334621 didn't work.
The messenger starts not, but I can't log in.
I still can't creat a live mail account. When I click sign in messenger says, that there is a connectivity problem, even if a connection is open.
I hate T-Mobile for deleting it!
This one worked for me on a dutch MDA compact IV:

Is it me, or is the custom database function of HHC for weather not working on the tilt with wm 6.1? It worked great on 6.0, but after installing 6.1 and running hhc and re-building my cities none will work when I select the custom database.(the default database cities work)
Thanks.
Just you

It's working great on my tilt, I think it's just you, where did you get your rom at?
It is not working for me either. I had used htchome-2.1-hermes-n2a on my 6.0 Tilt and it worked great. From what I can tell, the n2a is a service provided by a forum member for using custom cities. I have tried his process for patching the htc_home.dll on the 6.1 Tilt, but it did not work. My Tilt froze on reset and I had to do a hard reset.
Has anyone been successful at using all functions of HHC with the AT&T 6.1 Tilt rom?
look for HTC Home plug in. Save it to computer, drag it to your tilt.
Move it your windows file. Run HHC to put in your custom city.
Not working here either
It's not working here either. My cities show up but it won't download the weather for any of them. Luckily I have the HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml file and can at least add my city again.

The HTC home plugin workaround is linked in my signature.
Im using the ATT Rom. I would use the link in your Sig if your sig was there
the poster above was correct, the n2a version of HTC Home is a modified version that allows you to pull weather from a different source then HTC.
It's kind of crappy for AT&T to put a plugin that only works with certain cities and is not customizable by the user. I edited the HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml file to add my own city, even that won't work.
Note to AT&T... call HTC and have them add more cities to their db!
EDIT: And talk about slowing down a device... wow! I haven't used the HTC HOme plugin for a while and now I remember why I hated it. When it's updating weather, it's slow as hell....
I used the method toward the bottom of the first post from the fallowing thread to get it to work:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=392644&highlight=weather
Good luck...
I tried searching on here and other sites to disable the touchflo contact cards & Call History but have not come up with anything. I want to revert to the WM6.5 contacts and contacts cards and call history. I'm looking for performance over looks. To me the touchflo version is basically a skinned WM version IMO.
P.S. I don't feel like reading people complain asking me why I want to do this. Just answers please...
registry key changes would be your best bet in that situation, not sure how but ill try to get back to u and update what i can find, all though no one had this type of request before, this is really rare...
hey~
i think either 'diamon tweak' and/or diamond tf3d config' should do the trick. although, speaking form experiance, i had a problem with the contact tab missing from my tf3d interface and was only able to restore it w/a registry tweak....so if the programs don't do the trick you may need to search for the specific registry keys and edit them w/a regediting program.
good luck!
