Hi all,
I have happily been using my HTC Touch with PocketCM as my primary contact manager for just over a year. I find this piece of software excellent and very complementary to the Touch's interface, making the handling of my 500+ business contacts a breaze. I also recently went through an exercise of adding pictures (via Outlook) to roughly half of my contacts (combination of a dump from a corporate database and facebook!) and again the results when using PocketCM on the Touch look really good.
Having received my much anticipated Touch Diamond and sync'd it up with my contacts I explored the built-in and updated WM6.1 contact manager. My own personal view is that it's much improved and certainly borrows a number of PocketCM's innovations, however for my own personal use and usability still falls short of the mark. In particular I don't find its touch-scrolling as smooth, certainly isn't as quick when selecting a particular contact (nor as eye-pleasing!) as well as there being no option to have contact pictures on the index.
I therefore installed the latest version of PocketCM, however haven't been having much success with it. I previously was using either the default "Dream" or "Touch" skins, however on the Diamond they seem to corrupt the display. By setting it to the "Black" skin and resetting it seems to fix the display issues, however I find it almost impossible to actually select a contact. Scrolling works fine, however when you go to select a contact it is as if it is too sensitive and instead does a tiny scroll up/down - it takes great precision (either on a desk or using a stylus or some luck!) to actually select one.
Also, while if I select "Contacts" from the WM6.1 interface PocketCM is launched (as is desired - PocketCM being a replacement for the primary contact manager, however from within PocketCM you can indeed launch the native WM6.1 Contact Manager if desired), however the "All People" option on the TouchFlow3D People Tab still launches the native WM6.1 contact manager and not PocketCM.
Has anyone else tried PocketCM on their Diamond and would like to help me with and/or comment on any of the above? Much appreciated in advance!
On the same boat, any word on it yet?
Hi Simon,
1- How to have TF3D to launch PocketCM instead of standard PIM ?
For this use SSMA from this post [APP][Update 20/7/2008] SSMaPa (Alpha) 0.2.2 (20/7/2008)
2- Where to find VGA themes for PocketCM ?
See my post here: [SKN][UPDATED 26/10/2008] PocketCM VGA skins for Diamond
or go to PocketCM website where I uploaded VGA skins http://www.pocketcm.com/theme.php?application=1
Have fun.

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 %.

hello im working on new version and now it is stable and working
here is link
all buttons working (red button .......)
http://www.sendspace.com/file/8ger2y
and here is video of rom
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozY9aKAMy58
scroll down for screenshots
My observations:
+ damn fast
- red/power button doesn't wors as power-down button and phone toggle
- no wireless/comm manager
- some bitmaps doesn't look very well (not a big problem)
- strange names in Buttons settings
- no palm messaging (but maybe it's jus me)
At the moment I'm going back to 6.1 with palm oems, but I do really cross fingers for you and your rom. If you'll put new version soon, I'm getting it! Great work!

thx to u next version will be faster then this (i belive)
i need port original applications form palm wm5 to more usable on this palm
1-2 days for it
i dont like palm messaging
original is better for me
I used default messaging for a long time (so called "lite" version of 6.1)
The biggest problem for me is comm manager and power button. Accidentialy I flashed again to your rom so I'll stick with this one now, try to configure it for my needs (it's just question of few apps to cure most of "problems").
Can't wait to see next version.
Best regards.

I would suggest using the Palm WM6 as a base for those apps, not wm5.

haven't tried the clean version, but on the new palm version, the soft menu is the old version and links like phone settings or today settings dont work. *have to use start menu*
also not able to connect to an exchange server. link to set it up in activesync seems to be dead.
red button, and wireless manager seem to work.
will check out the clean version as well.
edit: reset the phone. activesync, email, and exchange all work.
soft key bar still isn't like your first update *i assume it changed in 6.5, and this is the old version* and phone and today settings links in soft menu are still broken.
edit#2: seems the email account isn't listed in the accounts settings window. also at least one keyboard shortcut didn't work (whitebutton + P for brightness settings) i assume this has to do with the "weird" names programs have listed under buttons.
i want to update to 6.5 but is it possible to go back to orignal at&t oem rom afterward to will there be some problem....???????
help......??????????????

thx for test i repair it today
Just downloaded your rom, will let you know the details soon
Ok here is the review of this rom, the one with palm oem applications and commmanager,
Pros:
Fast and stable
Volume is better compare to 6.1
It has inbuilt mass storage driver which 6.1 lack
Shortcut are sorted in appropriate folders in start menu
Black Theme is default, which is very good
Display is better compare to 6.1
There are 2 flavour of Wmplayer
Comm Manager is now full functional
And More............
Cons:
Instead of green light to show the network now its showing orange,
Vibrate is not working
There is slight jerk in display while changing screen from one program to another
There is no Call screen, Mean when you are answering a call or had dialed a call you want be able to see the duration of the call.
Hi there, thank you very much for your great work. I have a quick question: My Treo has a German (QWERTZ) keyboard, will it be detected somehow?, or the ROM will asume its a QWERTY keyboard. I don't mind the OS being in English, that would even be better, is there a quick way to patch the ROM to make it work with the QWERTZ keyboard?
Thank you so much in advance.
About in call screen. It's all around ActiveCall and DialLookup plugins. Maybe changing some registry values will fix it (I had similar situations once and editing some registry solved my problems). Tomorrow I'll compare some of my keyes with working wm6.
-If your syncing to an Exchange server, the Manage Folders function does not work to be able to select addition folders.
-blank HTCSETTINGS icon under System.. appears to do nothing
- 2 PHONE apps under Personal settings. Different functions, but named the same
- There is something off with trying to go into Messages from the Today screen. Takes a few clicks to actually make it work. It doesn't do it everytime.
That's all I found for the moment.. obviously WLAN option does nothing on mine
I've noticed one more thing: there's no "white dot" indicating text input with active function key. It's a bit tricky when you try to type password and you don't see what you write...
But in general it works very well. But installing "hidelogo" caused reset loop and I had to hard-reset.
Great work!
EDIT:
Change HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Today/Items/"Dial Lookup"/Type from 4 to 6 <- it will fix active-call-screen-problem Works for me.
i build new version today with all palm applications and battery test show me 14days
it is quickly then last version i upload it soon
it need some small fixes
UPLOADED 1st link

Thanks.

clear is without palm applications and wm6.5 is fastest and stable
czech localization on wm6.5 i make soon
i can make other localized roms as deu ita spa pol .........
1st all try this english
i make localization on bug free version of 6.5
I have setup the right button to launch my contacts has worked fine until i recently updated to the latest rom by qsqa which has Tf3d2 and win mobile 6.5. When i hit the contact button it launched the stock contacts.
im having similar problems - also icontact doesnt seem to stay in sync with the standard contacts now im on wm6.5 - which i "think" it did before
What are you using to set the link to the softkey button? I usually just do a registry edit which always works with no problems. Using a Registry Editor, goto:
HKLM, Software, HTC, Manila.
Change "HomeLSKPath"/"HomeRSKPath" to wherever your file is for the icontacts. Prob safest bet to link it to the /Windows file path. You can also link to different Manila tabs. For ex, I have my RSk linked to "Manila://internet/page" to bring up the web tab quickly.
Change "HomeLSKText"/"HomeRSKText" to whatever you want displayed on your softkeys.
Do a soft reset and enjoy
it works fine on mine but had to use diamond tweak to change it ... but sometimes it changes itself back to the normal contact from windows mobile ...

I have set up delivery reports to be on but I can't seam to find a way to keep them on in the touchflo people texting screen. If I send a txt through the original windows mobile 6.1 threaded view I get a delivery report but not through tf3d. If I tick the request delivery notification I get one but it doesn't stay checked next time I go back. Anyone else have this problem?
Same problem... you can check it and ok but when u go back its not saved.. probably some bug
This issue is on all D2 Topaz, i don't like this behavior.
I don't know if Bug or Feature ...
Go to Start>Messages>Menu>Options and press on SMS/MMS. Check on the Delivery report box and you are done.

No ..
Your description belongs to Windows Mobile: If you write the SMS in Windows Mobile, the deliverey report will work.
But if you write a SMS in TouchFlo Chat-View, deliverey notifications will work, only if you activate the option within the contact every time. It's a well known bug on all D2.
Same problem here. I hope that it will be fixed in WM6.5
It is a usefull option.

It won't be fixed in 6.5, cause it is not Windows Mobile-related.
HTC developed this software and did not make an option to perm. check the delivery report box. A software-modification/update might solve it, or a rom-update with new TouchFLO-software.
Maybe xbmod knows a way to permanently fix this, cause he ported this and the Rhodium version of TouchFLO to many other devices.
