Hi I'm from Bulgaria, and a big HTC fan.
A friend of mine showed me today a brand new HTC TD and Touch Flo 3D is missing. Compared to my own device, has a RSS Hub, but no Touch Flo 3D. There were no time to check the rom version of the device (may be tomorrow). Any ideas why a trader will offer it in that condition, and how to restore the plugin?

Went to Start - Setting - Today (tick TouchFlo3D on)
There is no TouchFlo3D to tick on...
If you HARD reset the device, it counts down from 3 to 0 after the OS is installed, in order to install additional programs. If you press the reset button in that time, the device will boot without installing these programs. You end up with only WM6.1 installed, and not all the HTC software as TFL3D.
@ 205_lacoste,
Thank's, that was the problem. Now everything is installed and running.

how can i install it if i by pass the auto-install? where can i find the cab file?
no cab file, just hard reset your diamond
touch flo 3d missing
I think I have the same problem with the guy from Bulgaria. I read the post and I want to do a HARD reset. But I don' t know how to do it or I don't understand exactly what it means
Touch Flo 3D = HTC-Sense
Hi there,
I too was wondering why my brand new TouchDiamond 2 didn't have touch Flo 3D installed. Through doing a bit of google research I found the following info in wikipedia:
From the HTC Hero[1][2] and HTC HD2 onwards, TouchFLO 3D has been heavily extended and is now being referred to, along with other usability improvements, as HTC Sense.
HTC Sense is a user interface, based on the TouchFLO 3D user interface,[1] developed by HTC for mobile devices running Android and Windows Mobile. Announced June 24, 2009, the first phone running Android to feature HTC Sense was the HTC Hero,[4][5] and the first Windows Phone to feature HTC Sense (an updated TouchFLO) was the HTC HD2, announced October 6, 2009.[6]
At the World Mobile Congress 2010, HTC showed their new updated HTC Sense UI to debut on the HTC Desire and HTC Legend, with an upgrade available for the Hero and Magic.
The Windows Mobile version of Sense is the successor to TouchFLO 3D.
Perhaps this addresses the issue you've been having? You can tell if you have HTC-Sense or Touch Flo 3D installed by going into settings, then into "all settings", then into "Today", then select the tab for "items". There you'll find a list of check boxes. If one of the check boxes says Touch Flo 3D then you have that, if not it should say HTC Sense. Checking or unchecking that box will enable or disable that functionality for your phone. Hope this helps! Good luck!!
Cheers!
I have the same problem but the hard reset dont help...please hepl me
I have also been having some problems with my Diamond. My uncle got it in a contest, but could not use it with Verizon. I got it, started it, and the installation process worked up until a point, where it froze. I soft restarted the device and it seemed that all was working, except no Touch FLO. Checked the Today section settings, no TFLO option. However, under Settings>System there was a TouchFLO icon, it seems to just be options for TFLO. The phone has been working fine with my AT&T SIM, even after hard resetting twice, everytime, (even after leaving it plugged in and on all night) the install stayed frozen. I called HTC support, and apparently my phone is an Indonesian model (that explains why the charging adapter what European, and no carrier logo is found on the box or phone) but they could not fix my problem. Is there anyway I can get TouchFLO?
You'll need to go to settings and set up TouchFlo3D on the startup...

someone know a rom version like is in this video for HTC P3600? thanks

Hi Marius -
You are looking at two different pieces of software on that phone.
The first one is the HTC Home screen for the TyTNII, which HAS been copied over to the Trinity. You can tell if that is the home screen used in the ROM because it will usually be shown as HTC Home Kaiser or something similar. You can also install this using a standalone CAB file. Search the board to find the cab, it's in the Trinity WM6 portion of the board.
The second one is a piece of software called Touchflo. The real Touchflo software requires that the touchscreen hardware be the same as the Kaiser or the HTC Touch. Those two phones use different touchscreen hardware (physical chips and the digitizer screen) than the Trinity. So, no one has been successful using the real Touchflo software on the Trinity, and probably never will.
However, there have been some attempts to get the same functions from other software. I've seen something called alphatouchflo, and there are other packages. Note that they do not have all of the same functionality. For example, I haven't seen any of them that could allow use f the scrolling feature to replace sidebar scrolling. I've only seen good scrolling of a third-party contacts list (see PocketCM as an example). This software is also available in a standalone CAB file if you like.
There is a thread devoted explicitly to using Touch Flo on the Trinity in the WM 6 section. If you take a minute or two you can easily find it.
Good luck!
Mike
yes... but i`m looking for rom. the rom have htc home screen instaled in it.
and in this video the scrolling works perfect... i read on the htc p3600 this "tochflo" have some problems. but on other devices these cooked rom with "touchflo" work good. i still looking and waiting for a good rom wm6(not a aplication "touchflo"). now i have wm5.

Hi Marius -
The other devices that use Touchflo have different hardware which is why the Touchflo works for them. The device shown in the video is the HTC Prophet series, which uses the same touch screen as the Kaiser/TyTN II (which is different form the Trinity). You will not find any software or ROMs that can run the Touchflo software on the Trinity. As far as CAB software compared to a ROM, the only difference is in the method of installing. It doesn't matter if you install the software using a CAB file or if it is already included in a ROM, except that you can remove software installed using a CAB if you don't like it.
I suggest you continue watching the thread about Touchflo on the Trinity in the WM6 folder. That thread contains the most current information about using Touchflo on the Trinity.

ok.. thanks for informations
I'm a windows mobile newbie and wasn't able to find the answer performing a forum search, so hoping someone here might be able to help me clear up my confusion between: 'HTC Homescreen', 'HTC homescreen plugin', and 'HTCHomeplug'.
When I go to: Start > Settings > Personal Tab > Today > Items Tab . . . both 'HTC Home' & 'HTCHomeplug' appear as items of which can be checked/unchecked.
It's my understanding that the Tilt includes only the at&t version of the HTC homescreen (today), and that changing it to look like the original Kaiser's requires installing an 'HTC homescreen plugin'. After installing a 'HTC homescreen plugin', 'HTC HTC Home' now appears in the Tilt's 'Remove Programs' option list: Start > Settings > System > Remove Programs.
Questions:
1) If the "HTC HTC Home" program is removed, will the (today) homescreen then revert back to the at&t version of the homescreen again? If not, how (short of performing a hard reset) can the at&t version be reinstalled again?
2) Is it also recommended that "HTC HTC Home" be removed BEFORE installing any subsequent 'HTC homescreen' plugins?
3) In addition, it's my understanding that the 'HTCHomeplug' merely displays icons for battery level & screen orientation so pretty much redundant to include on the Today Screen, as these functions are already included in the available 5/6 tab HTC homescreen plugins. Are there any special functions/features in the 'HTCHomeplug' not avaialble in an 'HTC Homescreen' plugin?
Thanks for all feedback and advice.
Jazz
I think you are a little bit mixed up, or at least I was reading that.
The one that comes with the Tilt: "HTCHomeplug"
The one that comes with the Kaiser: "HTC Home"
The HTCHomeplug cannot be un-installed thru Start>settings>remove programs. The only way the remove the HTCHomeplug is to either manually delete the files or install a cooked ROM.
To answer your first question, the HTCHomeplug is not dependent on the HTC Home add-on whatsoever. If you remove the HTC Home add-on it will not revert back to the HTCHomeplug unless you tell it to. The HTCHomeplug can be displayed at any time, even if HTC Home is installed, they 2 completely separate programs.
marm0lade,
Yep, apparently I was 'completely' mixed up about all that, so a great big thanks to you for straightening me out with the clear explanation.
Now, if I can only get my (6 tab) HTC Home plugin's: pic-touch call feature (home screen tab: 2nd to left) to link to another phone number in the contact's list other than their 'mobile phone number. Is this simply a problem only with the version of HTC Homescreen I installed, or is this a universal limitation of all 'HTC home' plugins?

The newest version of HTC Home(version 2.0) supports selecting a different number.
You can get it here.

I don't know about linking directly to another number, but if you click and hold on the contact, it will open their entry in the contact list, allowing you to choose a different number (or send sms/mms/email).

As a PocketPC Phone & WM newbie with very much to discover & learn from the experts here about cooked Roms etc, I too opted not to flash my Tilt's rom (yet) either. On the other hand, I removed all at&t bloatware, and thus freeing up LOTS of on board memory, by performing a hard reset, and then pressing the reset button during the 3 second countdown, right before the at&t bloatware gets installed.
After that, I got 'HTC Home' d/l link (here) of which also includes two other cab files (Cert_SPCS & sdcerts) to utilize only if you have installation problems. Because I had no problems, I only needed to copy the "Kaiser.HTC.Home.v2.0.814.722-schen.cab" Cab file to the tilt, and then use the file browser point to the cab and install it. After installing, I performed a soft reset, and now have both an impressive looking & customizable HTC Home screen. This version of "HTC Home" is definitely a keeper.
Jazz.
sooo...does this mean i can just install a htc theme over everything else? or do i have to do the hard rest/soft/etc etc?

Grandsuke: unlike the HTC Kaiser, the Tilt doesn't come preloaded with "HTC Home" , so if you've not installed it on your Tilt before, go ahead & simply install without a hard/soft reset. For people who've already installed another version of "HTC Home" on their Tilt, I'd recommend removing it first, then perform a soft reset, and then reinstall the new version of "HTC Home". Jazz
Can this be used on other HTC or WM5 products like the Cingular 3125 (Star 100) which is the smartphone edition?
Hello, i have bought my htc diamond yesterday, and i don't have the new interface with touchflo 3d. I have the old classic menu on windows mobile! In the menu, at settings-today-items i can't find touchflo, but i have the application, in settings menu ( as application).. help me, how can i activate touch flo
I can't understand why TouchFlo isn't already selected, but if it is indeed installed on your device, you activate it by...
Start...
Settings...
Personal tab...
Today...
Items tab...
Tick "TouchFlo 3D" and remove all other ticks
This should do the trick. If TouchFlo isn't showing in the "Items" list, then your device doesn't have it installed...
Oh Dear!
My friend called me up the other day with exactly the same issue. He had seen videos on youtube demonstrating the touchflo3d running and he realy liked the look of the way you could flick through contacts and messages.
He rushed down to the local tmobile store and demanded his diamond (compact iv)
He rushed home, unpacked the phone and was greeted with windows 6.1 standard screens throughout.
THE TMOBILE STAFF SOLD HIM THE MDA TOUCH!! (HTC VOGUE) nOT THE DIAMOND! They heard key words and thought of commission
Worse still, he opened the box and could not return the phone!
Honestly i doubt that this has happend to you, just thought it was a relevant funny story. Pretty sure one of the helpfull guys on here will provide you the assistance you need swiftly!
^^^Ouch... I would've flipped out.
don't know if there's a cab for that, you should search this forum and find out.
if not, learn how to flash another rom and problem solved
I have the HTC DIAMOND, not the htc vogue, LOL
I can't find the TouchFlo 3D in the items list. Should i flash my diamond? How can i do this? Thank you very much
Manila TouchFlo 3.8

At this forum there was a cab file including touchflo 3.x or 3.8. Try to search for it.
It's been a few months since I have been to this forum and it looks like there are lots of cool new programs and a new device (the diamond) that has provided some new cabs. I had gotten a lot of great cabs and tips here from last September through Spring but have not really added much to my phone since then. I had Ultimate Launcher with HTC Home as one of the cube faces and I really loved it. Anyway, I recently ruined my Tilt and had it replaced but the new Tilt has windows mobile 6.1 in place of 6.0 and not all of my old cabs/programs work anymore. I'm excited to see what else is out there for 6.1, but in the meantime, I noticed that the stock tilt comes with a version of HTC Home that has 4 of the 5 tabs (it's missing the music tab). I tried to use HTC home customizer but I can't. I can't seem to load a new version of HTC home over it either. I could not find the HTC Home program in the list of removable programs.
Maybe it's time for me to take the leap and move to a flashed ROM but every time I read through the instructions I get a little nervous and decide to wait until I feel like I really know what I am doing.
Anyway, I'd like to remove this stock version of HTC Home and load up a new version of HTC Home and start adding some cool cabs that work with WM6.1 but I can't find any threads addressing this HTC Home issue. Does anyone have any advice?
I too am interested in this if it is possible.
I dont have a working pc at home right now so flashing is not really an option for me.
What version of HTC home are you trying to install. I think there are a few out there. Also what error or msg are you getting when trying to install the faulty htc home plugin?
I successfully installed the new HTC home over the stock one on my AT&T stock ROM 6.1 and nothing broke. it pretty much overwrites the previous one so you don't have any duplicate entries in the remove programs or anything.
i tried to install HTC Home - Schen 2.1 with N2A weatherpatch (UPX compressed). i just realized my mistake was not deselcting it from the home screen before installing the cab. i feel like a jackass. thanks to the people who offered help. by the way is there a newer, better version of HTC home to install?
hi there...
some weeks ago, i had the touch hd (Blackstone) and there was the touchflow GUI installed but i was still able to get behind it and use the phone the normal winows mobile way...
how can i get this on this device?
Eh... disable touchflo perhaps?
i want both! at the same time... the behavior is more restricted on this phone now...
thought that was noticeable in my question
If you would like to use TouchFLO and the Windows Today screen, you should use TouchFLO Detacher.
I guess this is what you have seen on the blackstone (it is not standard).
ok, i will follow your link...
i mean (things that i found first) that when i hit the windows logo (or button) now there is only touch flow grafic menu stuff...
no old windows start menu any more...
no old windows setting, programms etc, menu behaviour...
thanx! anyway ;-)
i checked the vid, and it might work for me, i will test on my device later....
but, its not completely the way i t was on th blackstone...
on diamond2 the windows start menu is comlpetely taken over by touch flow, taken away, hidden... swapped with the big icons to start from...
the old tart menu was still there at the blackstoe (touch hd device)
yes there is, just go to the settings tap and press anvanced :-D then the windows menu appears
Ah.. Now I get what your problem is..
Please have a look in this thread.
I guess this is what you are searching for. Let me know if it is.
thanx, i think it is exactly my prob...
bloody hell, didnt find that before...
will try and follow there, also someone talks about wm6.5...
in the wiki here, for diamond2 is nealry nothing that links to tweaks or stuff, at the touch hd wiki entry there is so much to follow ;-) lets see what the future brings to my phone...
With all the Topaz based Roms, many Tweaks of Touch HD are also possible on Topaz. So don't be shy to visit the Touch HD section of the board ;-)
greets
