touchflo on TIlt?

I have searched through this forum, some say the AT&T branded Kaiser (Tilt) does have TouchFlo, others say it doesn't. My Tilt definitely DOES NOT have it. Is there anyone out there with an AT&T TILT and does have the touchflo straight out of the box? Is there a way for me to add it since it currently isn't there on mine? Thanks!

TouchFlo = Finger Scroll *NOT* the Cube interface.
Start --> Settings --> System --> TouchFlo (to enable and disable sound)
Posted by jomo25:
The way TouchFLO works is this:
- use a finger (not your fingernail) to "drag" the screen up/down (or even left/right if the page is wider than the screen). The page should drag with your finger. It's semi-smooth. Not truly smooth, but smooth enough. When you drag, DON'T lift your finger from the screen till you've got it positioned to your desired spot.
OR
- If you use your finger (not your fingernail) to swipe up or down AND LIFT your finger fromthe screen as you do it, then the screen with scroll by itself to the end in that direction or until you tap the screen again to stop it.
OR
- if you use the stylus or your fingernail, then it will NOT scroll like above. It will then behave like a normal stylus control (highlites and selects instead of scrolling).
So, the screen reads a broad touch (like your finger) differently than a narrow/pinpoint touch (like your nail or stylus).

Thanks for the additional info. I have seen that post before on this forum though and it is more of an explanation of what touchflo is. I am aware of the difference between the cube touchflo and the finger scroll touchflo. My Tilt has neither. When I go to Start->Settings->System there in nothing in there for touchflo. So my questions still remain, with a slight adjustment...
Is there anyone out there with an AT&T TILT and does have the *finger-scroll* touchflo straight out of the box? Is there a way for me to add it since it currently isn't there on mine? Thanks!

I have no touch-flo icon either in my System folder.

/agree
mine is in the mail and I thought it had the touch flow
I am sure someone will have a fix for it soon enough

I have a Tilt's and so do my two coworkers and they all have touchflo out of the box. Did you soft reset the phone before the customization was completed?

no biggie at all....most will flash to htc rom......and it definately does have the touchflo in the settings...i have a tilt and am using touchflo

The Tilt Does Have Touchflo
The Tilt owners above are correct in that in Start\Settings\System, there is no Touchflo Icon. This however does not mean the device does not have touchflo, because indeed it does. If anyone finds where this icon exists or how we can add a shortcut, please let us all know.
It took a bit of reading for me to understand how to use touchflo and the first post above is a great tutorial.
For me, it took more finger pressure on the screen than I expected to make touchflo work and that may be confusing people as well as the lack of an icon to manage the settings.
To demonstrate to yourself, open an application that is scrollable, like messaging, or IE. Use more pressure than you would expect on the screen and move your finger up, down or sideways in a long flicking motion and you will see touchflo working. Perform the touch again to stop technique or the touch and drag and you will find it works great on the Tilt
Good Luck and enjoy touchflo!

It is supposed to have the "finger scroll TouchFLO" out of the box on the Tilts as MardiG says. if it does not, then your phone's software is not complete. Even if you don't have the "Control Panel" setting, the functioanlity is supposed to be there. I'd get another one if ti doesn't. Or hard reset and let the software customization run again.

thanks for all the posts! very helpful!! i tested and touchflo is definitely not working on mine. i tried the hard reset but that didn't help. i guess i'll have to take this one back to the store and hope they have some left in stock. Thanks again!!

my tilt has touchflo - no settings in Settings->System however.
have to modify via registry

Same here ... I have Touchflo but nothing in Settings. The best way to see if you have it is to open Contacts. If you have more than a page or two of Contacts you will be able to tell if your Touchflo is active or not.
Open Contacts and drag you finger from the bottom to the top of the screen ... as if you dragging the bottom toward the top. You should definitely see the scrolling of the Contacts is it's working.

I did a soft-reset during the AT&T customization so that none of the bloatware would be on the Tilt.
TouchFlo is actually working - even though I don't have an icon in the System Settings.
Open up an IE page that would normally need scrolling up/down, and follow the instructions on how to actually use TouchFlo on the first page of this thread - I think it is Post # 2.
I tested mine using the instructions and it works - just have to get used to it (and NO it doesn't work as well as that "other" phone).

I did and it still had touchflo, just no control panel for it. I'm on the HTC rom now and it has the control panel.

But it still has it I'm willing to bet, unless you got some messed up ROM on yours. Try the scrolling in IE and see if it works.

I have used both models and the finger scrolling works on the Tilt. The Kaiser settings have only one checkbox and it is to turn the "clicking" sound on or off. The default is on for the Tilt, and my guess is you will need to tweak the registry to get it turned off.

there's tweak app in the sticky which can set sensitivity of touch flo

TouchFlo not on my Tilt
I just searched my Tilt for TouchFlo files with Total Commander.
No files found.

there are no files but it is there, I did the same thing when I thought mine wasn't working. What I realized is it will not work with Opera mini, I am assuming in won't work in any java app. Goto espn.com in PIE and then try it there, it is a big page so there is plenty to scroll.

No settings area on my Tilt, but TouchFlo works

Ah Ha, ok.... i do have it.... just need to scrool towards the top when i want the list to scroll!!!

Diamond..does it have profiles??

Hi all,
Hopefully i should be getting my new UK spec Diamond in a week or so fingers crossed. Now coming from Nokia, have been using a nokia n95 8gb phone..which has served me pretty damn well. On the Nokia it has profiles ie silent, meeting, offline and general etc etc.
Now can anyone tell me if the Diamond has such a thing built in??. I know there are apps that put status profiles but was just wondering if the Diamond has such a feature...if not thats ok, not like its the end of the world. But using the nokia it did make life easier ie press the power button once and you would get a menu listing all the available profiles.

it has profiles.
go to settings>sounds and you can choose profiles.
or you can assign the call gang up button to give you a silent mode

There are also some applications that manage device profiles with a huge amount of options e.g. http://www.sbsh.net/product.php?id=28#
Although I have no idea how well this integrates in the OS when running touchflo. As far as I can see this software can run as a todayplugin and/or a tray bar icon. Either of them is available while running touchflo. So I would get in touch (LOL) with the developer if there is a way to let it run from the header...

Here you go. Free, fast, small footprint and very powerful. Once you setup the profiles, then save the registry key for future hard reset. If you ever hard reset, after installing the software, import the saved registry entry and all your saved profiles are there!

Profiles Manager for Diamond

Hi all,
Just bought a Diamond in replacement of my Cruise.
This Diamond is beautiful and easy to use but I have not fount a profile application to use with.
I need a profile application that can control Bluetooth, rings and notification volume in profiles like cars, home, work .....
I usually used PhoneAlarm but with the Diamond and the touchflo screen, it is not possible to add the today plugin ...
So I have tried an application called PZP and the PZP Menu software that I launch using a long press on button. this application is great but eavy and slow to load...
So I am now searching an application to manage my profiles through the TF3D (why not ..) or with a button on the task bar for example.
someone has an idea ?
regards

i have this same question and couldnt find the answer. has anyone solved this yet?

...sure: Disable the manila plugin ;-)

You could always remap a TF3D soft key to whichever profile switcher application you decide on?
I've tried PhoneAlarm in the past (http://www.pocketmax.net/phoneAlarm.html) but now use Wireless Time (http://freewareppc.com/communication/wirelesstime.shtml) which alters my profiles based on the time of day.
Don't think there is anything integrating tightly within TF3D just yet

I'm the developer of PhoneWeaver (I'll don't put the link to avoid it to be considered SPAM, but it is public that beemer=miguel). I think it is the best profiler program in the market and I can tell you as a secret that as long as I have a Diamond as my personal phone, current version works well on it and next version will be fully optimized

I haven't yet managed to find working documentation for WirelessTime. Presumably you need to keep it running and there's no minimise option. I can't work out the configurable time option under the settings that seem to defaulted to 00:10, but it looks like hourly configurable slots on the main screen. I have searched, but can't find a manual, either on PDAInfo, Google, or here. Any pointers in the right direction?

If you are still looking for a tool to manage profiles, here you have
- Profiles for Windows Mobile
I bought it a year before, and they told me I could get 2 more licenses. I have been trying to contact with them this month (in order to get my second license for the diamond), and no way.
So, in the trial version you would be able to configure and programme 2 profiles. Anyway, if you look around the web...

I have created a link to it that I put in the startup folder so it runs on every soft reset. I never have to open the program and it doesn't appear as a running program.
I've not found any docs either, but I've left the time option set at 00:10 because I wasn't sure what it did! On the main screen I've just highlighted what I want to be 'on' each hour, and repeated that for all the days in the week. Been working fine for me on this basis

Hi
At the Diamond, how you change profiles? where you connect it to?

I am using Phoneweaver I have added a button to the Phoneweaver Menu on my Programs tab and when i press that i get my profile list ... works a treat

SPB Phone Suite is nice - and if you couple it with Second Today then you can access all of the home screen plugin options for switching profiles.

App to enable scroll wheel in all programs

I thought there was a cab posted in this forum that would enable the touch scroll in all programs. Those that are not familiar. I'm talking about the touch sensor that you use in text files and pictures to zoom in and out. You can also use it to zoom in and out of web pages in Opera. MHO this is not needed.
Anyone know of a app that will turn the touch-sensor-zoom-feature into scrolling up and down in all apps?

Check the "menu" option on Advanced Config.

its easier to enable with diamond tweak

I had checked this before, seen that File Explorer was already in the list but scrolling wasn't working.
To get it to work I opened File Explorer, went back into Advanced Config and added File Explorer again under the active apps drop down box. Wala....it works now!
Do you know how to enable it for the start menu? Since this is not an app, how can I add it to the list?

wkTask

Introduction: I have searched an answer to my question both in xda-developers, in SE Xperia X1 forum and in wkTask manual.
Questions:
#1: is there a way to have wkTask always on top/in front of WM today screen?
#2: is there a way to add to the laucher other links other than those on Start menu? (to make it simple: how can I add to the launcher links that are in Settings folder? I neither can find them on my PDA)
Thanks to you all, as always!
P.S.: great program wkTask... would suggest to cook it into Jack's lite Rom, using it I can almost use no panels at all!

you've lost me on number 1 im afraid, what do you mean wktask is always showing on my topbar

Ive used WkTask since way back in all my devices, but now with X1 I felt it was causing problems... Some weird crashes and I switched to P +'s task manager... WkTask is great but now I just learned to live with other tools.

that's odd, I found quickmenu causing some issues, not wktask

I stopped using it so long ago that I can remeber exactly what were the problems, but there were some crashes and whatnot..

I use Wktask as well, just not the quickmenu it has. Works like a charm for me!

Works fine on my X1 as well!

#1 is: can I get the wk launcher always on top? actually, I can get it after a vertical move. I would want it to be always on top, but just on today screen.
#2 no answer?! :-( bad for me...

what you want from 1 still isn't too clear, I think it might be a translation problem
You're saying you want it always on top just on the today screen. Which is a contradiction..
I'm presuming that means you only want it active on the today screen, if so then I think the answers no as that's not what Wktask is about..
You can get it to disappear on the today screen by checking the tickbox "hide the task-list when there are no tasks"
I tend to hide always START (manilla-tf3d) and activesync
2) yes but it's not that easy. control panel items are .cpl some are .dll and others are .exe will start normally some wont.
They should all be in windows.

#2 solved, they actually are in windows folder, but I needed to tick the "show all files" option under menu. Then, copy the exact name and insert it manually on the launcher.
However, the name of the .exe, .dll, .*** it is not the one shown on the settings panel
#1 I'll try to explain myself. In Windows (normal one, not mobile) you can have some windows always on top.This mean that the "always on top" window will always stay in front of everything. Now, on WinMo, I really like the wktask launcher. But, it is not always visible on my screen, every time I need to activate it. Is there a way to have it always visible?
Hope I've been able to explain the point, otherwise thanks anyway, I'll survive without this trick, take an English course and come back to explain it

You've made that perfectly clear now ;-)
But I think the answer is no. Maybe ask the author of WKtask if he could implement it as an option?
You do know that you can set the launcher to open by Drawing down with your stylus from the X of wktask?
That's pretty instant on my X1

Could you share where you got your working .cab? I got mine off http://soft.photoracer.net/docs/wktask_en.html but it now shows a gray-white bar across the entire top a couple pixels down.

yep thats correct, its the battery level
first time i used it i hated that, but now i find it indispensible
you can turn it off in the preferences - general2 tab

question for the one who use wktask with their xperia: The OK button (not the OK from WM, the OK touch in the right bottom corner) does not close the program but hide it when wktask is launched. Is it a bug or something expected ? If it is not a bug, how is it possible to close any program by pushing the OK key, as a default behavior ? any idea ???

Launcher settings backup
Hi, how can I backup settings of WK Task Launcher?

Go to the preferences menu of wktask. Tap on the 'Actions' tab, and you can set preferences for the OK button.
WKtask works great on my xperia. I don't use the launcher at all, but I wouldn't know how to function without the task manager.

WKTask Launcher settings Backup
Here is answer from directly from maker of WKTAsk:
The settings of WkTASK are written in registry.
So you can backup them by using "PHM Registry Editor".
http://www.phm.lu/Products/PocketPC/RegEdit/
Backup steps
1. Open \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\waku\WkTASK.
2. Tap&hold WkTASK folder icon
3. Select "Export" and input file name
Regards,
waku
I use for this not PHM Registry Editor, but Total Commander, and without problem. In new phone/install only copy the WkTask.reg into registry and softreset. It´s easy

Is the a New WkTask for WM 6.5 ?
I have Att Tilt2
