I don't mean to sound dumb, but I have the touch-it rom on my wing and im trying to figure out whats so different from my orinal tmobile rom as far as this touch flo thing goes... in my setings i keep seeing something about a cube and all but i dont see a cube... I go to programs and tap touchflo but nothing special or magical happens... I just need help... is this just a name or should my phone have things flowing on screen or what?
read the forum post for the touch-it series. it says you have to go into the settings under programs and select how to start the touchflo cube. after first installing it won't work until you do this.
^^^ I did but i still never see anything...
i went on you tube and i see what it is supposed to do do but my phone still isnt doing it...
After enabling the cube and setting 'View mode' to 'TF default v4.1', press whatever button activates TouchFlo and sweep your thumb from the bottom of the screen to the middle/side. The cube should appear. If not, press the TouchFlo button again and sweep from side to side and see if that works. Don't use your finger tip either. It may not recognize it. When the cube finally appears, sweeping from side to side will roll it. Use the sweep from the bottom of the screen to the middle/side to close the cube.
OK guys i got it working... this is pretty neat
Thanks for all the help^^^^
TouchFlo is one of those "ooo look at this" although it isn't very useful! haha.
i don't use the cube either, on the other hand i won't be able to go w/o the finger scrolling anymore...very useful
Oh yeah, True that. I love the finger scroll on the contact list.
Hello everyone, i asked this question in the 'post your today screen' thread but got no answer so will try asking here:
I recently installed the htc home customiser and changed a few things around and generally had a play with it to see what i could create from my today screen. I then decided i was happy with how the original htc one looked so i changed it back. Unfortunately i have a slight problem.
Originally, under the htc home section i had tasks, appointments, tomtom, etc etc showin up and there was a scroll bar on the right hand side that allowed me to scroll down the list, all while keeping htc home in the same position at the top. Now though, i have a scroll bar that extends all the way up the right hand side of the screen whereas before it only went as far as the bottom of htc home. It now covers up part of the date and the sound settings button. When i scroll down my list of shortcuts, it now also scrolls htc home also. (i hope my description makes sense)
It is very annoying and also makes my home screen look ugly. Does anyone know how i can get it back to how it used to be?
thanks very much in advance!
You can fix this by updasting the registry directly. There may be another way, but off the top of my head, I don't know.
Check your entries under the registry item: HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Today/Items
Under there, you will see an entry for every Today plugin you have available in your Today settings window.
Select one and you see it has entries called:
- Enabled
- Flag
- Order
- Selectability
- Type
under each one.
- Enabled denotes if its checked for your Today screen (1 is on, 0 is off)
- Order denotes the sequence it is on the Today screen. The lower the number the higher on the screen, so usually, HTCHome is the lowest enabled since it at the top.
- Type denotes whether it is one that is "movable" or not.
Type is the one that you need to modify. Type can be 0 (moveable) or 5 (non-movable). Type 0 ones can be moved up and down in the Today settings screen, where as Type 5 ones cannot.
The issue is that if the Today screen content is too much to fit on the screen, it auto adds the scroll bar. BUT it will only make the part of the screen occupied by movable activated plugins scrollable.
Before you customized, it HTCHome was likely a Type 5, and it was Order 1 (or something low since its at top). And all others were Type 0. Thus the scrollable section DIDNT include the HTC Home. Somehow, your HTCHome type is now 0, so it is scrolling along with everything else.
Hope this helps. Of course, manually modifying the registry has inherent danges, so be careful, and I take no responsibility if you mess up (disclaimer ).
This might be configurable and modifiable via HTC HOME Customizer app itself, but not sure...I just know the above is how I would fix it if I needed to.
Cheers for that mate, i will have a look tomorrow and see if i can sort it out.
in the home customizer go to the "options" tab and check "Lock plugin on the today screen" ... this will solve your problem!
Today screen keeps scrolling up
I don't know if this is the right post to ask, but you guys seemed pretty knowledgeable about today screen...
What happens is that whenever I scroll down (with the scroll bar) my today screen, it keeps scrolling back up to beginning screen automatically.
Only way to avoid this is to scroll all the way to the bottom and then it stops there. Then I can scroll up to see my today plugins which are in the middle (e.g. if you can scroll 4 times down - 4 screens of plugins - and I want to see my plugins which are 1 screen down the initial today screen, I have to tap all the way down and then tap up 2 times to see the plugins I should have seen tapping just 1 time).
This is so annoying. I would appreciate any help. Thanks.

This is for mbernstein:
You hijacked the thread but since the op had his issue resolved I can offer you just a little input. I had the same problem you mention. It started after I installed a few SPB programs. I'm not sure if it was the Pocket Plus, Mobile Shell, or something else but it was definately an SPB proggie. Once I uninstalled the programs the issue went away. I'm disappointed because they are good softwares.
Thanks. This should be the case. But it is a shame as Spb softs are quite good (otherwise).
Yes, I unchecked SPB today plugins and it took a long time (right one) for the screen to go "home". thanks.
I found the solution.

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.

I'm really going to miss my purple HTC-ish theme....
My first theme/dialer aka "Purple Nightmare"
spent quite a while on this, and this was my first attempt at editing manila, playing with xml and trying out mode9 (mode9 = killer!)
i would like to say thanks to Herg, Nisse, dHarvey, Xbmod, Showaco, Elvelynn, Mobilematt and a few others for helping me with this.
I attempted this as i noticed a lack of Purple orientated themes on the site... plus i think purple looks good with black!
Anywho, the home page is actually intended for the clock to be dragged back, think it looks more proffesional that way, plus ive "cleaned up" the home tab. you will still get notifications of missed calls and voicemails though.
Also, it contains a different background from the rest of the tabs, the hompage wallpaper will be added aswell. It also contains a different dialer...
To install:
Turn off TF3D
Put the Htc Purple.tsk folder in windows
Install .Cab file
*Soft reset*
Go to Start/Settings/Today and select the Htc Purple theme, and reactivate TF3D, choose the wallpaper through TF3D
as always, this release is not perfect. so if anybody finds any bugs, please let me know.
and there you go, hope you like it...

thanks to 12aon, i made a matching landscape for the theme. But due to certain conflicts of manila files, where previously edited files are being replaced by files containing different data, it is causing a few "visual" problems in regards to the theme. This is a pretty easy fix, but i just cant find the time seeing as i have so much work at uni this month. Also, the port from TP2 is nearly ready, so im not gonna stress myself out to fix this .
the cab below was intended as an "add-on" but has now become a file in which i hope others will edit to their benefit. if anybody does edit the files to coincide with one and other, please post them back here.
INSTALLING THIS "WILL" CAUSE PROBLEMS, SO DONT MOAN AT ME AFTER... IM WARNING YOU!!
Finally, im preparing a similar theme for the new port, so bring on "Purple Nightmare 2" for the New TF3D!!!

Love purple! Thanks!
Hmm.. well, that didn't work... Hard reset time.
Installed as directed. After the (automatic) soft reset after the cab install, and re-enabling TF3D, all screens selected with the slider were blank (just the background image with title, no content/buttons), and after the 2nd or 3rd screen, the slider would freeze, and eventually error out with an exception in shell32.dll. Softkeys at the bottom were "OK" and "Help", rather than what they were previously set to.
Tried changing back to a stock theme, but that had no effect on the TF3D issues. After stopping and re-starting TF3D, the same behavior would occur.
Tried an uninstall, didn't really seeem to do much. Same colors, same behavior. As a last resort before hard reset, tried a "Reset to default" from the theme selector in Diamond TF3D Config. This reset all the graphics to stock AT&T (rather than the HTC version I had to begin with), but with the same freeze of the slider after the 2nd or 3rd selection from the slider bar.
Running on AT&T stock ROM, with tyguy's 'no bloatware' TF3D install from this thread. I had made a bunch of tweaks with Advanced Config Tool, Diamond TF3D Config, and Diamond Tweak. The main one that I'm wondering about that might have had something to do with it was changing the order of the icons in the slider.
Getting the fresh TF3D install going now, this time I'm going to try installing the theme before all the other config tools, and see how that goes.
Absolutely beautiful theme btw, I really hope I can get it up and running.
Got it reinstalled on a fresh copy of TF3D.
Home screen is still pretty much non-functional. When it starts up, it's blank with OK and Help softkeys at the bottom (Screenshot #1). After selecting any other page, then going back to home, the softkeys from the previously selected page remain at the bottom of the home screen (Screenshot #2, after coming back to home from the settings screen).
Pressing either of the softkeys on the home screen, regardless of what they happen to be labeled at the time, will cause TF3D to freeze after the next use of the slider. TF3D can be restarted without a soft reset, and it will work again, until one of those softkeys gets pressed.
I've also noticed that the background is a little bit different than in the screenshots you provided with the original post, and setting the jpg file as wallpaper from the settings screen doesn't seem to have any effect at all.
All screens except for home seem to be fully functional.
Update:
Hard reset and just let it install the AT&T Manila and bloatware, then installed the theme. Works fine. Must be something it doesn't like about the HTC Manila.
Before another hard reset to go back to the non-bloatware install, I did try a quick install of Glass Clock, which did not change the clock at all from the standard AT&T clock. *shrug*

i made this on the stock HTC Rom.... so i can honestly say, that i aint got a clue as to why it aint working for you. the only reason maybe is because of the rom difference maybe?!?!
but other that that i dont know why it wouldnt work...

Ah, no worries there. The beauty of having a fresh new phone with nothing on it: It's the ideal time to play, mess with stuff, and hard-reset to my heart's content!
Anyway, after some more monkeying around with this theme and Brian's blue/red & chrome themes, all of them seem to work fine with the AT&T Manila, but wierd things happen when I use them with the Manila from tyguy's package. I don't know if it's something to do with a difference in the flipclock-style Manila vs. the AT&T clock, or what. I'm brand new to the Raphael and TF3D (just picked it up after my Kaiser met an untimely demise by getting left on the trunk of the car.. d'oh!), so I'll have to do some more searching around. Prolly end up flashing to a cooked rom anyway, so the whole point will be moot. 8)
I'm down to one last thing that's not quite working with this theme: On the Settings tab, it doesn't come up with the white background like in your screenshot, it's just nearly black text on the mostly black background, very hard to see. Any ideas on that one?

good.... the thing with the landscape, it has files which clash with the theme.... if your new to this you might wanna stay clear of it. if your up for the challange then look into the diting of manila files, its not that hard. good luck.
The landscape 'cab' installs just fine, but while trying all sorts of other stuff I can't get the normal theme applied back on.
I can't get it uninstalled, can't get it re-installed.
Any tips on how to uninstall an unwilling app/theme short of resetting my whole phone.
Can I just go into the registry and delete the key, or are there files I have to delete also for that to work?
(fideled around with the manila customizer, and that gives nice results as wel, but nothing in landscape.)
Ok, first to the admins/moderators - I searched my ass off trying to find a thread with my problem, to no avail... so if there is one, please excuse me...
So here is my problem - I find it very difficult to scroll any list with my finger because I just end up selecting some item from the list... Is there any registry setting to, lets say, delay the select behavior of TouchFlo? I mean, for example, I try scrolling my contacts, I AM able to scroll but almost immediately after I start scrolling I end up selecting some contact!?! Am I the only one with that problem? PLEASE HELP!
Bump. Anyone?
I just have the problem the other way around, I just can't select multiple items because everything starts scrolling...
try scrolling with finger in more center of screen
selecting works if you scroll motion on left or right side usually

Also , make it more of a " flick " with your finger, instead of a touch and drag scroll.
So there's no registry setting? I have tried changing settings in HKLM\Software\OEM\TFLOSettings, HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCGesture, HKLM\Drivers\Touchpanel, HKLM\Software\HTC\TouchScroll... can't seem to make any difference!!! The screen becomes more responsive, scrolling is faster/slower, but no effect on my problem - whenever I try to scroll I always end up selecting... there HAS to be some setting that determines the delay from scrolling to selecting behavior... it works so well on the damn iPhone... also works beautifully on the S2U2 settings screen... they should fire all the idiots at HTC and hire the S2U2 guys to do their interface!!!

Oh well, I guess I'll just wait till some genius dev out there finds out the right registry key, I give up
I hate to say this, but I think that is the expected behavior or TouchFlo scrolling.
You can drag to scroll specifically (and I don't believe this selects anything, at least on my Tilt), or you can swipe to start kinetic scrolling. If you click while kinetic scrolling is occurring, I think TouchFlo causes a selection to be made (although in places where single-click activate is the default, I don't think it actually activates the item--it simply highlights it).
You may be able to resolve this by changing the TFLOSettings\FingerPressure value.
I had a problem for the first six months with TouchFlo where the context menu would pop up about one in three times I tried to scroll (swiping or dragging). This happened even the moment I started using the device. Completely and utterly unusable. But after the third or so time I tried adjusting TFLOSettings values in the registry, I finally solved the problem. I ended up with TFLOSettings\FingerPressure=0x64 (100) and TouchPanel\PressureThreshold=0xC8 (200).
I REALLY wish HTC or someone would produce a complete guide to customizing TouchFlo scrolling (including the meanings of the TFLOSETTINGS values). It really works well, once it is optimized. Although, it will be great if Microsoft builds scrolling into the Common Controls in WM6.5.

Actually there are genius developers in here. I think you're just being a little picky, the touch flo works fine for me.
I think I recall a touchflo sensitivity setting in KaiserTweak. Get it, then try setting the Touchflo sensitivity to the most sensitive option possible.
Dave
+1 on Kaisertweek, altho I reduced sensitivity instead of increasing it. Technique counts too. I tend to use nails or stylus for browsers, especially Opera. Use keyboard for contacts, and scrollwheel to dial it from there. Every phone is different, but reducing sensitivity via Kaisertweek worked for me.
Problem solved
Finally figured it out and now it works perfectly. The culprit was the too high value in HKLM\Drivers\Touchpanel\PressureThreshold.... I put a value of 160 (dword:000000a0) and now I have almost iPhone experience
heres a thread closer !
to bring some closure to this thread, the following utility will solve all your touchflo woes!!!
