The HTC CIO may be curled up in a corner crying now...

crying?
i think he has tears in his eyes from laughing.
why do a lot of people always insist that older is better.
touchflo 3d has way more options and is much fingerfriendlier than the old version.
so just a tip: do not use your stylus, but use your fingers. you will find that using the touch flo 3d really is a lot easier

looks beautiful runs terrible
i gave up! touchflow 3D, simply too slow and couldnt catch up with my finger.
will leave it for showing off when demo to friends only...

Yeah, it's not easier at all. It's much more work to get to the media player now, where as I could assign it to a hardware key on the Kaiser. Navigating the Kaiser with keyboard mnemonics was definitely faster and easier. TouchFLO 3D requires so much more finger/hand/eye movement in order to access the same information that would have been already on your screen right away.
I also hate having to scroll through all of the Cities in the US in order to get to Yonkers, NY for the weather. It was way easier when I could just type the name of the City in the HTC Home plug in. These iPhone-style lists are horribly frustrating to use.

I, think the regular touchflo is simpler to use because it is exactly that (simple) & boring... a few tabs and thats it. However TouchFlo3D has much more options, looks sweet, touch friendly & interactive; the fact that it takes more time to getting use to or figuring out does not bother me at all.
With this new plugin I rarely see the windows UI and I think that makes a huge difference, at least for me it does.
Another point to consider is how you use the device or what for? I use it primarily for the web, weather, texting & GPS & all of these are extremely easy for me to get to. As far as the extra scrolling to choose a specific city under weather should not be in issue, I set my city & a couple others in no-time when I got my phone and that's it no more scrolling.

I remember some time ago nokia, samsung, SE, mortorola etc all the big names done some stuidies and figured out the max number of key presses it should take to get to ANY menu option. It seems with all this fancy scrolling lists and interfaces thats lost now.
Even in an iphone - which you may hate, but is probably the best touch interface - its not exactly fast to get to things.

I've said this before - in experiments comparing the iPhone and the old TouchFLO, it was faster on average to get to things using TouchFLO.

Well, the devices are aimed at completely different markets. HTC generally aim their devices with keyboards at business users, whereas the Touch Diamond is a high-end general consumer product.

There are now tweaks that will speed up TouchFLO 3D quite a lot. Search this forum.

so......
will the old type of htc home plug in work with diamond?
i too was happy using it (on my trinity)
would be nice to have the choice
with the tabs you had people..weather apps...and more
so does anyone know before i bugger my diamond up

I think TouchFlow 3D is great, easy to use and looks very nice.
The only thing I'm missing are my tasks on the Todayscreen. On my Touch I used them as a reminder for certain things, but when you don't see them right away when turning on the phone they're useless.

I installed a Version of HTC Home Plugin earlier today on my dad's diamond and well... i guess it just isn't fit for a VGA Display. It is very small and the porportions are messed up. Anyone already tried to get HTC Home to work or knows of any VGA Version maybe?

I used to use Touch Commander on my Asus P750, as far as I'm concerned it's an exact copy which will work in VGA mode, as the P750 also had a VGA screen.

But then again, with Dutty's ROM and the registry tweaks, TF3D runs pretty smooth.

Alright, I have had this issue too. Here is a cab for the Home Plugin for VGA devices (works on my TP).
I AM NOT TAKING CREDIT FOR THIS, JUST SHARING THE .CAB I FOUND SOMEWHERE ON THIS FORUM LOOKING FOR THIS. MADE BY PJC
Hope this helps out those who need it.
EDIT: For some reason could not upload file, nonetheless, I found the download, click on the link and download. http://rapidshare.com/files/128745613/PJC_HTCHome.cab

TouchFlo 3D + std. today plugins possible?

The touch 3D works great for me, BUT it removes all my other today plugins, which I most definitely need.
Is there any way to combine the touch 3D, and still having access to the std today plugins?
Amir.

I have the same question- does anyone have any answers to this ? For example , I want to have the RSS feeds in my home screen along with TFLO3D ? is it possible?

use ultimate launch to place touchflo3d on first page and the other plugins on the next page. you can size one page to fit the whole screen so that you can switch between whole pages with your thumb or with a click, like you want
greets, pucki
ps: if you prefer freeware you can use battery status, it can include today plugins as well but you have to create a personal theme on a xml-base. i made it for nike and elf, it should work on diamond also. i'm going to use batterystatus too on the diamond, but we germans has to wait until t-mobile sells the device on july 14th. if you can wait so long i will give you my theme

Can't get ultimate launch to work. When I activate the first screen, my todayscreen stays blanc.
The Ultimate launch is than removed from the todayscreen.
Can you explain what I have to do to make my own xml file fot batterystatus?
Thanx

just had the same idea, ul didn't work at all
hopefully there will be a new ul version with diamond support
tf3d is so nice, i wish i could remove the internet tab and replace it with batterystatus instead!

Guys try this program http://www.chi-tai.info/download/SecondToday.zip and do this:
Copy SecondToday.exe to your desired location, e.g. \Program Files\SecondTody\SecondToday.exe and start the application

and then just copy the program again to windows start menu, and then add it to program list in the htc touch flo. then when ever you want it just click it.
Until now this is the best way to fix it

I went to their site I didn't understand anything. What does SecondToday do? I can get something from its name, but how does it actually work?

Direct download is impossible: go here: http://www.chi-tai.info/cs_wm_tools_im_cs.htm

basically what it does is that it is a program that opens the today screen without touch flo

Thank you for making that clear. Can you return to TouchFlo afterwards?

is it possible to run this second today - thing in autostart without interfering with touch3d?sometimes it does not open when i execute it...
i need to keep an eye on my calltimes and umts-data because both is limited due my contract and the only tool that handles both is (as far as i know) battery status...correct me if i'm wrong. gprs counter is bundled with my diamond but it isn't able to count call times...
edit: just tested it and second today always gets closed (or crashes) when touchflo3d is enabled...i can add plugins to 2nd today but when i switch back to touchflo3d second today not listed in taskmanager anymore after a couple of seconds.

Hi,
did anyone find a solution to make BatteryStatus run in Background in combination with TF3D or TF2D??
I also need that app but just for the dynamically OC-Freature....

I use a program called Ariel Battery and disabled the default battery icon. Put Ariel Battery in your startup folder, you can modify color schemes, it's small and even shows you the %.

Auto edge/data connect

Hello all,
A/
I just noticed my Diamond auto-enables a data connexion when TF3D launches, and I would like to know if (1) it's a standard behaviour (2) it's possible to disable it.
I've noticed that after having installed the TF3D configuration (very nice) tool, so I don't know if it's linked to that or to another program installed on my device.
Since I d'ont have a data option yet in my contract I'd love to disable that automatic connexion
B/
I have the Orange TF3D theme installed, and I kinda like the fell of it. I'm sure it will be possible in a near future to change the look'n fell (Icons, Colors and such) of TF3D, perhaps in a new version of the (amazing) configuration tool. But what bugs me in Orange's skin is the clock. Do you know a way to get the standard TF3D clock back ?
C/
Is it possible to add tasks on the home screen under the clock ? I can see that on screen captures from the standard TF3D screen, but I never managed to do that... I suspect the Orange theme to interfere. Any idea ?
Anyway, great work here all, I intend to come a lot to this forum in the next monthes
Thanks !

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=406440
Start reading on the BATTERY labeled section.

Yes, I know how to disable the data flow, but will it disable the data flow autoconnect at TF3D startup ? It should autoconnect only if required, but... Well, what would require it ?

OK, nice, edge de-activated and phone still calling... That problem is solved, thanks !
Any ideas for the remaining ?

Yes modifying the auto attach with Schaps advanced configure (great app by the way) Will disable it to auto start on boot. So you will get the grey icon indicating data flow completely off when you boot your Diamond.
It will connect when you ask for email check or weather check for example. Basically any app that needs internet access will activate it. Unless of course you are connected to a wifi AP.
Hope it helps Lucks!!!!

Yes, works fine !
Now, I'll find a way to change that clock, but I don't want to change the Orange skin, I kindof prefer it to the default HTC black one.

iPhloam Theme (Official Release) for TyTnII / Kaiser

links removed.

it does look good but my personal preferance is not to make my device look like an iphone otherwise id of brought one.good work though.

This Looks Great!

Well done!

very cute, great work snachez

if you're going to use HTCHome plugin, then there is no need for a SMS/messaging icon - its already built into that plugin
how did you set icons on your today screen like that. i really like your theme and those icons seems very functional. i want just that today screen and other skins but not all the extra software
ok ultimate launcher. nvm
sanchez, the more i look at those images, the more i can see myself using that theme. it looks very functional. i like. i will give it a try when it comes out

snachez,
Am so glad you's taking part in talk like a pirate day... Arrr!
Psi

looks good. when is it gonna be available?

I really like this, it still had the Dark Kaiser style, with some Iphone-y sensibilties lol. Definity one to keep tabs on, good work
Edit - 100 posts, baby!

I like the look, it would be nice if you would consider using Throttle Launcher as another base to do a version.
There are several advantages to using TL:
1 - Its highly user configurable (everyone has different apps they want to access).
2 - It has really nice thumb scrolling
3 - It can easily load the HTC Home screen plugin (and others) on any of its Pages.
4 - It will soon have its own customizable readers and calendar.
Which gives it a much stronger all around integrated interface.
Question - does your dialer have the redial problem most custom dialer have?

Thanks for the comments. I haven't played with TL at all so far, but once I'm satisfied with this release and get bored, I'm sure I'll need something else to occupy my time The youtube vids look pretty cool.
As for the dialer, its Paul DeGroots version - I never need redial so I'm not sure, but there are a few known flaws with a dll thats being worked on presently I believe.

It looks great! Please keep us updated with any news.

I really like the looks of it all. If i was going to re-flash my Tilt sounds like it would make sense to do a lite version and then add this it when available. Does that make sense? Is there one that you know of that has some/most/any of this already included?

Yep, UL and some customised iphone-like icons I've gathered from around the web. The links on the HTC Home sms/email counters do take you to the relevant screens, but I also have two other email accounts set up on the device so I find it useful to have access to those at a push of a button from the front screen (and the menu->sync option syncs all the boxes , not just the default one)
You'll be able to easily change it using the UL preferences to suit your tastes.

I'm not much into flashing actual ROMs personally, so I plan on releasing this theme with all the cab packages required (once I've got permission from the various authors of course.) - as well as an online update repository making all the cabs easier to find in one place.
This can be installed over a default factory ROM to make it behave the way I feel a device of this great capability should be accessed.
I'm thinking maybe a sashimi script ? Any ideas ?
Any of the commercial software I use will be substituted with trial versions and require purchase if you want to use it permanently, or swapped easily to the program of your choice.

sounds good. can't wait.

Yes I agree Looks good Like the icons they aren't as cartoony as the iphones go for it !!

preview update (13.09.08)
Updated with a few more screens & swapped from HTC Weather to Rumbals Diamond WeatherPanel (great stuff, support his work!), a new SPB Calc skin I just finished and changed over to Kies Carbon Keyboard skin for the time being. Reload the image in the first post if you'd like to see the changes.

[13.11.09] Touch-IT Leo v10 Multilang -discontinued at xda

Welcome to Touch-IT Leo v11​
I am removing my roms due to conflicts with certain members at xda, this looks like it cant be solved in normal ways. And because I do not want anymore of the bickering and fighting, I am pulling my work from XDA and all support is moved to you know where. I cant even mention that name anymore here.
Sorry to see this happen here, where I have learned so much, and met so many wonderful ppl.

I'd really like to try this rom except that there is no landscape support.. that kinda ruined it for me.
Do you know if you might make a similar rom (including twitter and footprints), with landscape support?
- Chainy

I'll reply on itje's behalf: NO!
See, the thing is that LEO doesn't have landscape. It's not created yet, it doesn't exist yet, it's not available yet. Buy hopefully it will be by the end of the year? Blame it on HTC

I don't think I'm going to use this just yet, but very very nice. Love the twitter tab.

Does it still use the vulcan (X2) drivers?

actually, i will prefer facebook tab more..
nice rom anyway, itje, thx

no landscape?
maybe it's time to write down what "no landscape-support" actually means in daily use:
landscape is working fine in windows itself (settings etc) and
in standalone-apps (opera, skype, whatever...).
it is not implemented into manila by htc yet, so if you slide the keyb out on let's say home-screen, you'll just see a black background.
but:
in manila, landscape is working in:
- writing messages (sms, mail) - you can write with your hw-keyb
- viewing pictures in album
- playing videos in album
i think the fact "no landscape" sounds worse than it actually is. of course it would be nice to have it, but during daily use it's lack is hardly noticable.

I second that. Nice ROM (again!)

suggestions
1. Rostrain claims to have 100% landscape working in his ROMs (something to do with his g-spot! "g-spot mod is a button.when u press it it executes scripts that only a gsensor does..so we have the landscape that only gsensor phones have!")... I have no idea.
2. Is it possible to have 4 icon column menus in your roms please (takes too long to scroll all the way to the bottom).
3. Is it possible to have a scroll bar in the menus (again quicker to scroll to the bottom and also so you know where you are in the menu)
Many thanks for your time.

rawr... itje is always full of surprises... am gonna wait for this cool rom!!

wow... ! just need landscape

Looking forward to this ROM. Should be good ^^
WinMo 6.5 is slowly growing on me. Just as long as it's quite fast and smooth.

1. Rotastrain has modded the manila version he has..so if that is wanted/needed..get a cab for it..I do not like making roms with to much "modding" I prefer to keep it as close to original as possible. Its easier to keep track of bugs from HTC..if I should not keep track of other ppls bugs coming with the mods aswell
2. No, I make the roms the way I like it, and that will not change. Also.. I dont enjoy the 4 column way, and neither do I like to many folders...
3. No, not possible
