Hello everyone, i asked this question in the 'post your today screen' thread but got no answer so will try asking here:
I recently installed the htc home customiser and changed a few things around and generally had a play with it to see what i could create from my today screen. I then decided i was happy with how the original htc one looked so i changed it back. Unfortunately i have a slight problem.
Originally, under the htc home section i had tasks, appointments, tomtom, etc etc showin up and there was a scroll bar on the right hand side that allowed me to scroll down the list, all while keeping htc home in the same position at the top. Now though, i have a scroll bar that extends all the way up the right hand side of the screen whereas before it only went as far as the bottom of htc home. It now covers up part of the date and the sound settings button. When i scroll down my list of shortcuts, it now also scrolls htc home also. (i hope my description makes sense)
It is very annoying and also makes my home screen look ugly. Does anyone know how i can get it back to how it used to be?
thanks very much in advance!
You can fix this by updasting the registry directly. There may be another way, but off the top of my head, I don't know.
Check your entries under the registry item: HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Today/Items
Under there, you will see an entry for every Today plugin you have available in your Today settings window.
Select one and you see it has entries called:
- Enabled
- Flag
- Order
- Selectability
- Type
under each one.
- Enabled denotes if its checked for your Today screen (1 is on, 0 is off)
- Order denotes the sequence it is on the Today screen. The lower the number the higher on the screen, so usually, HTCHome is the lowest enabled since it at the top.
- Type denotes whether it is one that is "movable" or not.
Type is the one that you need to modify. Type can be 0 (moveable) or 5 (non-movable). Type 0 ones can be moved up and down in the Today settings screen, where as Type 5 ones cannot.
The issue is that if the Today screen content is too much to fit on the screen, it auto adds the scroll bar. BUT it will only make the part of the screen occupied by movable activated plugins scrollable.
Before you customized, it HTCHome was likely a Type 5, and it was Order 1 (or something low since its at top). And all others were Type 0. Thus the scrollable section DIDNT include the HTC Home. Somehow, your HTCHome type is now 0, so it is scrolling along with everything else.
Hope this helps. Of course, manually modifying the registry has inherent danges, so be careful, and I take no responsibility if you mess up (disclaimer ).
This might be configurable and modifiable via HTC HOME Customizer app itself, but not sure...I just know the above is how I would fix it if I needed to.
Cheers for that mate, i will have a look tomorrow and see if i can sort it out.
in the home customizer go to the "options" tab and check "Lock plugin on the today screen" ... this will solve your problem!
Today screen keeps scrolling up
I don't know if this is the right post to ask, but you guys seemed pretty knowledgeable about today screen...
What happens is that whenever I scroll down (with the scroll bar) my today screen, it keeps scrolling back up to beginning screen automatically.
Only way to avoid this is to scroll all the way to the bottom and then it stops there. Then I can scroll up to see my today plugins which are in the middle (e.g. if you can scroll 4 times down - 4 screens of plugins - and I want to see my plugins which are 1 screen down the initial today screen, I have to tap all the way down and then tap up 2 times to see the plugins I should have seen tapping just 1 time).
This is so annoying. I would appreciate any help. Thanks.

This is for mbernstein:
You hijacked the thread but since the op had his issue resolved I can offer you just a little input. I had the same problem you mention. It started after I installed a few SPB programs. I'm not sure if it was the Pocket Plus, Mobile Shell, or something else but it was definately an SPB proggie. Once I uninstalled the programs the issue went away. I'm disappointed because they are good softwares.
Thanks. This should be the case. But it is a shame as Spb softs are quite good (otherwise).
Yes, I unchecked SPB today plugins and it took a long time (right one) for the screen to go "home". thanks.
I'm HTC Touch diamond holder and i have one problem. When i swipe left across the screen to move to the next tab, and swipe right across the screen to move to the previous tab the movement is not 3D.The program that i was install was only Skype and IGO8.I see the problem after installation.I have make hard reset of the device but the problem exist.Is there some hidden settings or something to do to come back the 3D effect(like rotation) when i browse trough tabs.Now the tabs(HOME to example and PEOPLE)just appear off and on without this 3D effect.Please Help me.
Could you post a screenshot? I don't understand exactly what you mean. Someone else does probably..
Look at the presentation of touchflo in official site.
http://www.htc.com/www/product/touchdiamond/touchflo-3d.html
When you change the item from menu (e.g. Home screen to People screen), the change is 3D (home screen disappear with movement to the left and appear people screen from right....like circulating motion).I do not know how to explain how 3D menu works, but this is shown on the link that i post.In my case Home screen just disapear ....not to left.
Sory for my english.
The slide show for separate items in touchflo menu is 3D(not for me). I put one wallpaper and that was my mistake.But after hard reset the problem remains. My ROM version is 1.93.4****
"It's becouse of the TF3D version.
Try this one, it will be a little slower but you will have the 3d thing "
I have the old TF3D version, but the opload won't work...
But thats what you need!!
Tank you very much. I thing the problem was from me with the software or wallpaper i use it.
It might be your ROM version as well.....
because in the 1.93 ROM, they removed the lag between the tabs and so the 3D effect.....the solution listed above should help you and take away your problem, but than it's a little bit laggy....
if you can live with that..allright
good luck
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!!!

u should blow up their forums then
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!!!

Thankyou
Thank you!
Will give it a spin as soon as possible!
downloading now
will flash in a bit
am using this now. havent tested much but i noticed when it boots theres a mortscript error msg. something to do with titanium plugins?
and i like the wm6.5 start menu icons but the scrolling can be smoother.
photo swiping under photos and videos tab is laggy.
after disconnecting from pc, the two touch options on the bottom is stuck on all the tabs.
on the left is All Programs and right is Remove. they dont change according to the tab. i hv to restart TF3D to get it back to normal.
What's new about this ROM? Any improvements?
flashing it at the moment. i am so bored i need to play with my x1.
I tested Windows Media player with some clips created with Super and the video rendering sometimes slows to quickly catch up. This didn't happen in the previous version.
I've heard about tools for speeding up access to the memory card. Maybe that helps.
Also the soft keys gets stick to "all programs" and "remove" after you change from the programs tab
Other than that.. omg fast ROM
... testing further after reflashing ....
The first time I selected "Settings" I could see the soft button "All Settings", but when I selected it, I ended in the Communication Settings menu, repeatedly.
Back at the Home menu, I tried Settings again, but this time it only shows "All Programs" soft button. Clicking on it generates no action. I can't find a way to go to All Settings.

similar bug to what i reported, seems to occur on all tabs, but most reproducible on program tab for me.
I noticed in the first version some bugs:
1. when you open most apps like message, opera, contacts and etc, when you press the upper left portion (inbox, url adress, search contact) it takes you to the app shortcuts/home of wm 6.5
2. camera button does not work
3. the lower left shortcut(all programs) on standby mode does not work and does not change when you switch between Touch flow apps like messaging, email, fave people, etc.
Overall awesome ROM as always

The camera hard button works for me. Once to activate the camera and once to take a picture.
... more testing ...
I installed latest Skype and it worked almost fine calling to a normal phone, except that when the screen goes black (for energy saving) the conversation was interrupted.
I had to press the power button to resume. After that, I had to keep touching the screen to keep the conversation alive.

You can disable that feature in the WinMo Setting, isn't it?
Or delay the time before it will go in Standby
What's the difference between 1.2 & 1.1?
New drivers/tweak improvements or bugfixes?
Anyway it definitly looks promising ;-)
Keep up the good work, Smaberg
i stick to ur roms..i flash this one immidiately now..
yep fast and awesomely done. bravo!
i have wait looooooog time!thank you smaberg
Hi,
I bought a Galaxy S 2 weeks ago,and noticed that in Web Browser,if i touch the screen and do a slide move from right to left or from left to right,i can't do a slide move from up to down of down to up(i dont pull my fingers off from the screen while doing the moves)
for example i opened a page from web browser and zoomed in..if i scroll the page from left to right,i cannot move the page upwards or downwards after that horizontal slide...(if i scroll from up to down-or down to up,i cannot move the page from left-to rigt or right to left too)(and my finger is still on the screen)
this bug happens in only straight way slide-scroll moves.the only way i can do a 360 degree move on a zoomed page is if i start the slide move in cross directions-not straight directions).then i can move the page where ever i want.
I tried this bug on stock 2,1 - 2,2 - 2.2.1 ROMs,on Darkys v5,5 - 5,6 Roms,on stock kernel,on voodoo kernel,on Stock Web browser and on Dolphin HD, i did cache - Data wipe factory reset sd format lots of times and the result is always the same.
Finally i went to shop to try a new Galaxy S to see if this bug happens to other phones,and Yes it happened to that new Galaxy S too.
A 50 € phone doesnt have this bug but a 500 € has it :/
Can anyone help me to solve this problem or know what cause this bug(or is it really a stock bug)?
anyone for help?
I don't know whether that is a bug or not. I know the behaviour you're describing and I see it as a feature. It allows for smoother vertical scrolling when reading long articles.
I wouldn't want this changed.
so does it lock itself to that direction we scroll-for a smoother scrooling,and not allow us to change to any other direction while our finger is still on the screen? :/
i scroll up the page,then if i want to slide the page through left a bit,i must pull off my finger from the screen first,and touch the screen again to slide left...
they could give smoothness with another way,if they do this on purpose for smooth scrolling :/
I'm more likely to scroll vertically reading a long web page than I am to be scrolling vertically and horizontally simultaneously.
Is it taking you much time or effort to lift your finger and press it back down?
npe,its just annoying for me,cant do a 360 degree move without pulling off my finger,if i do a vertical or horizontal slide before :/
thanks for answer
