Thanx... I did a search but no results... so thanx

Happy to help

its also included in boinger66's advance config (requires schaps advance config installed). the option is called smart touch.

I have used this option in advanced config as well. Since I flashed a 1.93 ROM, it no longer works in my mail inbox or texts inbox. Anyone have any idea?

Thkis works for me.
Somebody know how to change the default contacts when pressing in TF3D on "ALL PEOPLE"?
When pressing start - -> contacts it wil launch PocketCM, but in TF3D it just loads the default contact program wich came with WM...
(hopefully they find out how to customize TF3D soon)
when i press "contacts" in diler - doesnot open pocketcm but default.

This works, however:
1) It doesn't seem to be half as 'usable' as per on my previous (QVGA) Touch, mainly in the way it seems tricky to actually selected a contact - u have to be very precise and aim more for the actual phone number beneath the name - not as 'thumb' friendly. Hopefully there is some sensitivity setting that can be tweaked?
2) You don't seem to be able to tap in the top right hand corner (full screen mode) to minimize
3) Being picky here.. but the theme attached to the above is titled "Touch VGA" however on my device at least it seems nothing like a VGA version of the Touch (ie. greys) theme, but instead while & orange?!
4) As per other posts in this thread non of the Touch Diamond shortcuts are mapped, both from within the TF3D (All People) and within the PhoneDialer app.
Any ideas / suggestions.. more to the first point or two?
Thanks, Simon
Further to my comments above, I've just pulled down the latest v0.24 which includes an "improved Black theme" (the supplied VGA theme). I don't think there's any difference relevant to Diamond owners, although in playing around with it I have noticed it is possible to select a given contact with your thumb so long as you use a very light touch - again suggesting there is some sort of sensitivity setting that could be tweaked.
Still not possible to minimize using a tap in the top right corner, and also in this version I've noticed the blank headshot placeholder used for contacts without pictures is now not aligned (however the ones with pictures look very nice with the fancy reflection effect!).
I think the bottom line is the person responsible for this excellent app doesn't have a VGA device available to him; guess we can only hope as such devices become more popular that more weight will be added behind fixing such issues.
got latest version,
just install and use black theme.
To select contacts, just tap theme, don't press. A tap does the trick, works great.

Adjusting 'finger flick' scrolling speed?

Hi all,
I was wondering if and how you would go about changing the scrolling speed when using your finger...
E.g. If I open anything with a vertical scroll bar (say SMS inbox, file explorer etc), a slight flick of the screen would scroll down (or up) far too quick.
It used to be perfect on my Hermes device as standard.
I'm using Dutty's ROM on my Diamond.
Anywhere that I can change this?
Thanks.
Yes, i would like to know this too. I keep flicking up and down, or accidentally 'clicking an item' which is a pain..
Yeah, accidentally click on an item is also an issue for me (but apparently not for many others!)
Accidental click
Hi,
I'm having the same problem too...
There are some tweaks in the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=398265
Also, try the Advanced Config tool... It has some options too.
But with all these, although there is a slight improvement in usability, still the experiance is not as good as the iphone.
More than the scroll speed, the accidental click is a real pain...
Especially in scenarios like: Programs --> Add program and Weather Application --> Add city
Is there any better fix available... pls help.
+1 for me too. This is really really annoying, and actually I don't think anything in the Advanced Config tool makes the slightest bit of difference to this setting. I set 'scrolling' to disabled under TouchFlo settings of Advanced Config too, but I can still scroll and it's still exactly the same as before.
any ideas about this? i just flashed my rom to dutty's 3.4 (originally a 3.2) and in resco explorer, the scrolling was almost as smooth as an iphone but now it's too fast and sometime non-responsive. anyone know what setting can change this?
This worked for me.
Hi guys,
I was just installing the new Manila Controller add on, which comes with FTouchFlo (SL). With the FTouchFlo enabled, scrolling is back to how it should be for me
Where did you find the Manilla Controller app?

Yes. Where did you get the Manila app? I was searching for a way to only allow upon double click, but could not find anything in the settings.
It's the FTouchFlo that does the deal. The mentioned Manila Controller just encorporates a version of FTouchFlo to enable the upslide activation.

Yep that's right, just do a search on FTouchFlo (renamed to FTouchSL?)
Been there, got the t-shirt. FTouchFlo (the old, free version) runs and doesn't do much. Scrolling in native WM windows is still messed up.
Just flashed to latest ROM from Dutty and first thing I installed was FTouchFlo (via Manilla controller). Didn't test the scrolling before, but now, again every menu (native or otherwise) seems to be 'scrollable' for me.
Any other success stories with FTouchFlo? I installed and activated it, but it didn't do much.
I have used this setting to calm this finger flicking crazyness down:
HKLM\Software\OEM\TFLOSettings:
SpeedHigh: default value (25) <-- Change to (5) / SpeedLow : default value (70) <-- Chnge to (14) save and soft reset
Many custom ROMs are including the 5 and 14 setting respectively this makes it crazy fast when flicking with the finger. I suggest using default settings here or, in my case I use 25 for SpeedHigh and 50 for SpeedLow, wich does improve scrolling over default when using the finger but keeps the finger flick toned down. BTW, I've noticed that when flicking witht the finger the first flick engages SpeedLow and a second flick switches to SpeedHigh.

disable Sensitivity wheel in SBSH Calendar?

hi I installed Diamond tweak to disable the sensitivity wheel functions in most of the program.
but I recently installed the SBSH Calendar and found out that it uses the wheel in the monthly view to move vertically.
I really want to turn this feature off as it's annoying.
please help me.
thx
Try DredSensor. There's an option to disable the wheel.
thx that helped alot

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

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

Manual Landscape

I have been looking through all the settings on the D2 to manually change the screen to landscape as I used to be able to do on the Touch cruise but without success the G-Sensor is a bit of a hit and miss and only works on some programmes. I would like to use landscape with Navigon 7 anyone know how to do this ?
The TF3D interface does not work in landscape on default, there is an app available for it here
you can go to settings>all settings>system tab>screen and change the orientation, somehow this only works one time for me, it just changes back automatically.
in Navigon (I don't have this) there is probably an option where you can change the orientation
edit: change the orientation to landscape in the screen settings, and then start navigon.
Tnks for the reply TK tried the tweak did not seem to do anything apart from restarting the D2 there are no settings in the screen tab for changing orientation just alighn, Cleartype and Text Size.
will have to keep looking.
somehow the tweak options end up in the all programs list, found under Manila Rotate On/Off.
maybe this option came with one of the programs installed ^^
After you do the manilla landscape you soft-reset and then it should be there for you to rotate stuff. Another app to try out is G-Config. Search for that on the forum. You can add automatic rotation to apps that don't support it after you add them to the list you soft-reset and then try it again. I've managed to put MSN, Skype etc on it.
installed Advanced_Configuration_Tool_v3.3, start and then:
screen -> show orientation settings -> yes
then i configured the one button i can configure (left-bottom: press and hold):
settings -> all settings -> personal -> buttons -> <rotate screen>

What about the phone app? When you're in navigation Mode with MN|7 and a call comes in, the phone app is in portrait, right?
Does anyone know, how to turn the phone app to landscape?
