TouchFLO 3D problem

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

screen orientation switcher??

Hi all
I've had a look around the forums, and i cant seem to find a definitive answer to what im looking for, and im certain ive seen it in a rom somewhere
what im looking for is the following:
A program which allows me to change the orientation of the screen by means of a start menu shortcut (not the one which normally be in the settings -> screen -> orientation, that menu seems to be missing on my rom)
does anyone know of a program (preferably free), that is small, and lightweight that can do this?
many thanks

Search for Gsen or Gyrator in forum.

ive done the searches, ive used gsen/gyrator, those are automatic screen rotators which change the orientation of the screen using the inbuilt accelorometer
i am looking for someting which i can use to manually change the orientation of the screen, a bit like the orientation switcher which was built into the screen settings menu

nobody?
surely someone must know of a program that can do this

ScreenRotator
http://www.pocketkai.net/asp/en/index-en.html
Saerch for the freeware ScreenRotator.net at this site.

QuickMenu has that feature which will replace your Start Menu. you can do that by tapping an menu item then.

Unless I misunderstand, install AEbutton and map one of your buttons to screen orientation.

Hey Stix,
To enable the screen rotation icon from the Settings>Screen menu, edit the registry: "HKLM\System\GDI\Rotation\HideOrientationUI" and change the value to 0. Go to the Screen page and you'll see the Portrait/Landscape option.
After enabling the screen rotation option, you can map the talk button to rotate the screen with a long press. Start>Settings>Buttons; just look for the <Rotate Screen> option from the pull down menu.
You don't have to go to the Start menu, doesn't use resources (I'm guessing) and it's free!
Hope this helps.
TF3D doesn't rotate even when you select the <Rotate Screen> option (unless the keyboard is popped out, obviously). Only applications and the Windows menus will rotate if you manually rotate the screen.

thank you very much my good man!
this is perfect, i use my raphael to read a lot of pdf's and docs, and i recently discovered documents to go which does everything i want except change the orientation!
many thanks asdfjklqwerty!

I use this, AAHRotate0-90.CAB or AAHRotate0-270.CAB on my Touch Pro.

I just searched for these cabs. I can only find them on a Chinese website which I can't read. It requires login to download the files. Does anyone have these cabs and could they be posted please.
Thanks

RotateMe
Hi,
you can try this attached cab. Hope it's what you're looking for.
P.S. Cab file extracted from ROMeOS v1.95.4.

Excellent! Works like a charm on my HTC Vox. I know this forum is for Touch Pro, but since I found the software here...

AAHRotate 1.0

I do it with AE Button, but if you have SK Tools, these shortcuts will also do it (use the shortcut manager if you want; these probably work with the free version, too):
Code:
Portrait:
1#\Windows\skstart.exe #DMO_P
Landscape:
1#\Windows\skstart.exe #DMO_L

"Old" startmenu.

I recently bought TD2, and is by no means a big fan of the new startmenu. How is it possible to replace it with the "old" one ?
I've been searching the forum, since I've heard of a little program that can fix this issue, but without luck .
Thanks in advance !

The new start menu comes as part of Touch Flo 3D.....If you distable TF3D in settings\personal\today\items, you get the old menu system.

I'm amazed that anyone would prefer the old WM one.

There are two great lacks in the new menu :
1. too few items available in the 'icons' start page, and no kind of sub-folders or program groups.
then
2. if you go in the full list because your program is not in the icons page, the list can be long and fastidious.
Hope it will be corrected in next version and be available for D2, or windows 6.5 titanium/CHome will replace TF3D

Try TF3D2 Tweak in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=502102

Thank you all, for your replies .

If you just want to change the start menu but leave Manila turned on, just change the following in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\EnlargeMenu\Enable ManilaStartMenu =dword:00000000
After a restart you have the old start menu

Is it possiple too keep both ways?
I mean when you press the start menu on the top of the screen to have the old start menu and when you press the windows hard key to have the new one?
I think this would be more usefull for many people who like the new menu but want some features of the old one!

Ah right, I see. I've not hit that issue, I guess I just don't use that many programs!

One question: how can I enable the old style like in WM 6.1.
I use 6.5 without Manilla (UDK R1.)
It's annoying to select start/settings/connections if you want to set more the 1 thing...bluetooth, WIFI etc....also for programs.
Or how can I customize the start menu in 6.5 ...order, content...

another way
This would keep the new start menu when you tap on "start" and make pop-up a replica similar whith the old one when you tap on windows or whatever icon you have on the upper left corner of the screen near the text "start". I didn't make this just downloaded from somewhere.

Doesn't seem to work on my Diamond2. (Does nothing)
I was wondering if someone could do a buttom like the settings buttom in the new start menu that could open the old programs menu.
I think this shouldn't be so difficult, since there is a similar buttom for the settings.

Welcome here Liviu. (Bine ai venit pe aici, marfa site-u pt HTC-uri)
I try it Quick Menu, it's like Windows PC START menu and it's hard to use with a finger
I speak about the old menu from WM6.1 not Pc windows...
Ksara it's works on TD2 I try it and work well but it's not what I want.

You are right Pauln, it's not finger friendly but hei! that stylus is there so ...
Anyway for me it does the job so here is a pic for those who want an alternative. The icon "Quick menu" you will find also in Programs.

I'm one of them. I disabled touchflo and installed spb pocket plus: I've got everything in sight, with no need to flip over strange desktops and icons!

I found these registry entries somewhere else and i thing these are the key to make a shortcut in manila programs folder to the old Programs folder Just like there is for the settings folder (number 3)
"Remove the locked program tab items
Code:
HKLM/Software/HTC/Manila/ProgramLauncher/0/IsReadOnly
HKLM/Software/HTC/Manila/ProgramLauncher/1/IsReadOnly
HKLM/Software/HTC/Manila/ProgramLauncher/2/IsReadOnly
HKLM/Software/HTC/Manila/ProgramLauncher/3/IsReadOnly
Change this value from 1 to a 0 and you can then edit their shortcuts."
Please someone who is familiar with this , create a shortcut.

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

Performance on Rhodium
[EDIT]
I am using the full version now, which shas an option to disable the original start menu, which saves alot of memory.
Performance is great on the Rhodium
[/EDIT]
I wanted to try it on the Tilt 2, because it is a memory starved device.
There is no memory advantage to using this over the normal start menu.
It looks nice, and the recent program list is great.
But for the Rhhodium, memory is critical, so I will go back to using the Panel Stat menu cooked into Energy ROMs.
It would be nice if the free version would have had the graphic transitions when opening folders. It looked cool on the demo that was done on an HD2, but, other devices, such as my Tilt 2 or my Fuze, are slower.
I would want to see that performance before purchasing. If I could see that I would consider purchasing it for my Fuze.
But, as far as the memory usage. I can't use it with my Tilt 2. It consumes more memory than having the original start menu.

The full version can disable the original start menu, so you can spare approx 30 Mo in RAM.
The demo was done on an HD (older than Tilt2) and no problems. I think it will be smooth for both (Tilt2 and Fuze), but I'm not sure of that!
I can't create a demo version with graphic transitions, too much work...
As you are a "productive and contributing member", I can give you a serial... Send me a PM if you are interested!

Thanks.
While testing the full paid version, I am very impressed.
I have more memory available than before, when I was using the Panel Start menu available in Energy Roms.
This start menu is great.
Starts faster.
More responsive.
Better transitioning graphics.
Graphics are very smooth on my Tilt 2.
And the most recent program feature is really nice to have.
This is definitely worth the money.

Thanks for this feedback

WinStart with CHT Softkeys
First of all very nice!!
I purchased the full version at your referenced site.
I am having a problem. I use CHT 2.0 on my NRGZ28 ROM, and I use the CHT Softkeys. I cannot get WinStart to pull up the start menu using the "StartMenu" CHT softkey. If I disable the CHT softkeys, the the normal StartMenu icon works fine.
Within CHT SoftKeys, there are ways to set key assignments:
"Run path" which prompts me to enter an application to run. WinStart is not a listed application.
"Command Line" which prompts me to "enter command line parameters". I don't know what to do here?
Is there a way you can get this to work with the CHT SoftKeys?

I have CHT2.0 too, but I never used the SoftKeys...
I take a look and come back to tell you how do this.

WinStart with XDA_UC
Thank you...while waiting...I'll ask another question.
I flash ROM's a lot when new versions come out. I use XDA_UC to install my various apps that I use. WinStart will DEFINITELY be one.
My question: On a fresh install with a new ROM, is there a registry key or something that I should install along with the cab to get the initial "fresh-install" parameters - username/password information - automatically applied?

OK, so it's not as easy as I thought... I try something but it work only the first time... What I do :
In HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila
>Set CHT.Softkeys.KeyCustom1.Path to: \Program Files\winstart\winstart.exe (no quotes or anything else)
In CHT editor, set icon1 to custom1... But as said before this will work only the first time.
I work on this and in a few days (I hope 24h), I will post a new version.
For the second question, you will have to save these two values :
HKLM/Software/Manila_WinStart/licenceKey and HKLM/Software/Manila_WinStart/password.
You can also export the entire HKLM/Software/Manila_WinStart/ key to save your settings too... If this is not an option for you, tell me via PM, I will send you a patcher...

Hello - I appear to have the same issue as WMG316. After installation and reboot. I can go to \Program Files\WinStart\ and run ConfigWinstart.exe. I select DEBUG, Stop Service, and then Start Service, Back, Save. At this point the Hard and Softkeys work properly until the next reboot. I have not put any WinStart in my Startup folder.
I hope this helps get closer to a long-term solution. I really like this app and it is still worth the money.

Thanks...I had tried that and came to same conclusion...only works on the first try!
Hopefully you'll get that worked out so CHT SoftKeys can be used!!
I look forward to the update.

How to Backup "Renamed Icons"
Another question. I have renamed a few of the icons in the start menu. I cannot locate where these changes are saved. Is there a way to backup these settings for subsequent ROM flashes?

wmg316, you can export registry key HKLM-Security-Shell-Startinfo-Start , which contains data about all links: their position, icon, name & visibility..

Start Menu Hardware Key on Rhodium
Maybe a bug?
Since disabling the CHT SoftKeys I have had no problem initiating the Start Menu with the default soft key. I am still in hopes that you will fix that issue though!
My problem...when I try to use the hardware key start menu on the Tilt 2 (Rhodium) it does not work.
I can get it to work by following these steps:
Use Start Menu soft key to go to Start Menu
Select Menu, Options
At this point the option to "Hook the windows hardware key" is checked...I uncheck this...then check it again and select save
After this process, the hardware key works.
After a soft reset, the hardware key does not work and I have to go through the aforementioned steps to get it to work again.

Yes,I think this problem is the same as CHT softkey (they emulate an hardware keydown).
So I think in a few hours these two bugs will be corrected !

The problem is now solved...
I work on an option to save/restore the settings so I will change the version number of first post when finished.
For now you can install the attached file which correct the bug but don't include the option to save/restore settings...

Confirmed to work:
I uninstalled v2.1 and soft reset
I installed v2.2
Turned on CHT Softkeys
Tested CHT Softkey start menu - worked
Tested hardware key start menu - worked
Soft reset
Tested CHT Softkey and hardware start menus again - worked
Thank you!!

You guys work fast! The issue with the hardware and CHT Softbar starting was my only real issue with this. I bought the paid version and love it. Thank you.
The only other minor cosmetic thing I have noticed is that when you first open the program, it leaves some odd artifacts on the screen as you run it the first time. For example, after a soft reset, the first time I open the menu, I can't see my task bar on top, I see a part of my CHT hometab. Once I close it, it works great for all other openings.
Also, when you click on a program, the animation works fines to zoom the icon at me, but once it is done, the screen briefly jumps back to the start menu background showing me just the icon I clicked on until the program actually opens.
Like I said, purely cosmetic, but I figured I would mention them. Again, thanks a ton for the program, it is by far and away the best start menu I have tried. Light years ahead of even the default WM one.
