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

At this forum there was a cab file including touchflo 3.x or 3.8. Try to search for it.

O.K. I purchased the AT&T Tilt because I liked the wm6 device with the Touch flo aspect and home screen with the digital clock... so where is it? Did at&t remove it when they locked it?
hang yourself.
LOL........
LMAO!!!! To the OP, you need to research some more. Look up Kaiser Tweak if you want to turn Touch Flo back on. I think there may be a cab somewhere that puts the icon back in as well, but Kaiser Tweark or Schaps Advanced Config will work for you.
Essentially yes AT&T did remove it.
What you're talking about comes with the Official HTC Rom. But don't give up hope check out the wiki about cubes and ROM flashing.
Remeber to do searches first before posting. The only reason I'm answering is because I was where you are once. I felt overwhelmed.

As a few of our Senior Members already "hinted", you need to do a little more research.
TouchFlo is actually in the at&t Rom but the interface to disable sound is removed. Kaiser Tweak will allow you to manipulate the settings (including sensitivity).
FWIW, WM6 Pro does not have a Home Screen that is what the Standard version (no touchscreen) has. Pro uses a "Today" screen, I know what's the diff right but technically you are talking about something else.
If you liked the look of the large digital clock like is displayed on the wiki page reference images then that is not a WM6 thing but rather a HTC thing called HTC Home plug-in.
Please do yourself a faver and spend some time reading the wiki & the stickies.

The HTC CIO may be curled up in a corner crying now...
crying?
i think he has tears in his eyes from laughing.
why do a lot of people always insist that older is better.
touchflo 3d has way more options and is much fingerfriendlier than the old version.
so just a tip: do not use your stylus, but use your fingers. you will find that using the touch flo 3d really is a lot easier
looks beautiful runs terrible
i gave up! touchflow 3D, simply too slow and couldnt catch up with my finger.
will leave it for showing off when demo to friends only...
Yeah, it's not easier at all. It's much more work to get to the media player now, where as I could assign it to a hardware key on the Kaiser. Navigating the Kaiser with keyboard mnemonics was definitely faster and easier. TouchFLO 3D requires so much more finger/hand/eye movement in order to access the same information that would have been already on your screen right away.
I also hate having to scroll through all of the Cities in the US in order to get to Yonkers, NY for the weather. It was way easier when I could just type the name of the City in the HTC Home plug in. These iPhone-style lists are horribly frustrating to use.
I, think the regular touchflo is simpler to use because it is exactly that (simple) & boring... a few tabs and thats it. However TouchFlo3D has much more options, looks sweet, touch friendly & interactive; the fact that it takes more time to getting use to or figuring out does not bother me at all.
With this new plugin I rarely see the windows UI and I think that makes a huge difference, at least for me it does.
Another point to consider is how you use the device or what for? I use it primarily for the web, weather, texting & GPS & all of these are extremely easy for me to get to. As far as the extra scrolling to choose a specific city under weather should not be in issue, I set my city & a couple others in no-time when I got my phone and that's it no more scrolling.
I remember some time ago nokia, samsung, SE, mortorola etc all the big names done some stuidies and figured out the max number of key presses it should take to get to ANY menu option. It seems with all this fancy scrolling lists and interfaces thats lost now.
Even in an iphone - which you may hate, but is probably the best touch interface - its not exactly fast to get to things.

I've said this before - in experiments comparing the iPhone and the old TouchFLO, it was faster on average to get to things using TouchFLO.

Well, the devices are aimed at completely different markets. HTC generally aim their devices with keyboards at business users, whereas the Touch Diamond is a high-end general consumer product.

There are now tweaks that will speed up TouchFLO 3D quite a lot. Search this forum.
so......
will the old type of htc home plug in work with diamond?
i too was happy using it (on my trinity)
would be nice to have the choice
with the tabs you had people..weather apps...and more
so does anyone know before i bugger my diamond up
I think TouchFlow 3D is great, easy to use and looks very nice.
The only thing I'm missing are my tasks on the Todayscreen. On my Touch I used them as a reminder for certain things, but when you don't see them right away when turning on the phone they're useless.
I installed a Version of HTC Home Plugin earlier today on my dad's diamond and well... i guess it just isn't fit for a VGA Display. It is very small and the porportions are messed up. Anyone already tried to get HTC Home to work or knows of any VGA Version maybe?
I used to use Touch Commander on my Asus P750, as far as I'm concerned it's an exact copy which will work in VGA mode, as the P750 also had a VGA screen.

But then again, with Dutty's ROM and the registry tweaks, TF3D runs pretty smooth.

Alright, I have had this issue too. Here is a cab for the Home Plugin for VGA devices (works on my TP).
I AM NOT TAKING CREDIT FOR THIS, JUST SHARING THE .CAB I FOUND SOMEWHERE ON THIS FORUM LOOKING FOR THIS. MADE BY PJC
Hope this helps out those who need it.

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.

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...
Take a look of my video here, hehehehe.....

sorry for this, my bad...
it is refreshing to see that new ppl (politically correct term for noobies) are coming here to brag about what they've done and not to whine, curse the diamond or just start all kind of useless threads.
kudos to you!
i've seen yr movie and the thing that impressed me most was the use of s2u2. please explain how you do it. i hate when my diamond answer the calls due to the pressure in it's holster. i miss this application is one of the most useful i ever installed in a pda.

thanks, i'll have a look and give it a try. the FTouchFlo it is not the problem.
diamond's touchflo3d (TF3D Mannila) is the offender here....lol
omg! yr diamond is bursting with programs and games. did you added it an 4 GB SD card? how? LOL!
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 ;-)
