When I have both the Touch Cube and S2U2 installed, whenever I try to unlock my phone, the Cube starts instead of unlocking. When I close the cube, it goes back to S2U2, and so on... I had to soft reset my phone and uninstall the cube before I could use my phone again. Anyone else have this problem? Is there a solution?
go to the ftouchflo settings..and add the program to the exclusions..that way it doesnt activate when you try and unlock it
I have both installed. I use touchflo all the time and I've never accidentally activate the cube. In order to activate the cube you have to swipe completely accross the screen from side to side, top to bottom or bottom to top. partial swipe such as S2U2 will not activate the cube. I use pointui, opera mini4, S2U2, PIE, contacts, and pocketCM. All of those programs requires swiping the screen but not completely accross the screen. The trick is to touch the screen before you swipe. The best way to activate from the cube any program is flicking motion starting at the outside of the screen, on the bezel then on to the screen.
Or just do what volcomnator999 said and add it to the exceptions. If the cube ever comes up when you don't want it to, just add it to the exceptions, and it's no problem. No need to change your touching habits.
I have done all things you suggest but cube enable with s2u2...Can't stop it functioning with s2u2.....Any other solutions?
maybe you have older versions of those software try upgrading?
Cube e s2u2 last version....but it is possible that is touchFlo fault...The only old version program
solved!!
The configuration tool doesn't change the .txt file of touchFlo configuration. Edit the .txt and it's all ok!
Hi, I've been having the same problem with s2u2. When I go to unlock it sometimes goes to touchFLO
I've tried editing the config file, but it doesn't seem to work?
here's my config file in case it helps.

I'm not too sure why it is doing it still...
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
Doe's any body know where I can download full version of TouchFlo and TouchCube for my Kaiser!!!
Google.com is your friend.
There are lots of versions of the cube out there so there isn't an easy answer.
I have been messing around with the cube tonight and i think the nicest "free" version that you can get going yourself is:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=336234
This is slither's flash based cube. You will need to install FtouchFLO and Flash Lite to get it working. If you read through that thread you should get enough info to get you going.
If you don't want to do the legwork you have a few options:
1) Download a ROM with a Cube cooked in
2) Download UltimateLauncher, a nice desktop shell that emulates a cube type effect (as well as other animation options)
3) Try and then buy either Touch Commander or Spb Mobile Shell. Both have "Cube-like" menus that you can use.
Thanks man!!!Serbia thanks you
HTC TouchFlo and Cube vs. scroll bar
I'm running one of the cooked ROMs with the cube and touchflo... I noticed that I have to add most programs as an exception in the touchflo configuration otherwise the cube will launch or the program will minimize if I move the scroll bar too quickly. Is there a way to adjust touchflo to only recognize slides that are done in the center of the screen? Otherwise I have to add every program with a scroll bar to the exception list because touchflo messes up the scrolling.
Does the stock HTC Touch have this problem?

I used to adjust the Timeout using Schaps TouchFlo Config tool, the lower you make this number the quicker you have to swipe to lauch the Cube.
So long as I scrolled at a sensible speed the cube would not launch.
But that's in the past, Cubes are pretty, but I never use them, other than to show off.
Thanks
Dave.
I wish I could just have the picture dialing instead of the hole cube. I guess a one sided cube. Doesnt really make sense does it.
One place to check
HTC Home comes with most ROMS now standard with a few exections but I cant exactly remember where found my Touchflow version but i included it below also check out this site because they have a great htc home screen customizer http://www.pocketemu.com/download.html I hope this helps.
I think the TouchFlo 3D is fantastic for "showing off" your Touch Diamond, but it's a bit gimmicky, and slightly cumbersome, so I'd like to be able to turn it on and off when it suits me.
Out of the box, to do this you need to go into the homescreen settings and select TouchFlo 3D, or, deselect it, and reselect all your usual homescreen plugins - a bit of a pain.
However, I've realised that browsing to the "Manilla exe" in the Windows directory turns on the TouchFlo without affecting your homescreen plugins. If you then kill the manilla process using a a Task Manager which shows processes, you're straight back to your normal homescreen. I've made a shortcut in the Start Menu so I can toggle between the two relatively quickly and easily.
But, I'm looking for some clever person out there to make a simple app which toggles between TouchFlo 3D and normal homescreens at the press of a button. I'm sure it can't be that difficult (for someone who knows what they're doing)??!! It just needs to launch the Manilla exe and then kill it when you want to turn it off.
Anyone fancy having a go?
Cheers
Simon.
It is possible to toggle between spb mobile 2 screens and touchflo 3d though.
Kill Manila.exe
Has anybody come up with an automated(one click) way of killing the Manila.exe process ?
Mortscript
Create a script with Mortscript to check for the presence of manila.exe.
If not present, start it.
If present, kill it.
Create a shortcut to the script in \Windows\Start Menu\Programs
Assign this shortcut to button 1.

thought thats called SecondToday?
ToggleManila.mscr
I have the same problem, that I want to turn on TouchFlo 3D, but still want to keep my "Classic" Today Screen intact.
Although I tried SecondToday, however it cannot display the internal plugins such as Tasks, Calendar and Date
Thanks to wensing's suggestion, I created this simple script. If you want to run the script, please follow the instructions below.
a) The first thing you need to do is to disable the TouchFLO 3D from Today Panel Plugins, then activate your favourite Today Plugins (except TF3D)
b) Install MortScript
c) Put the "ToggleManila.mscr" in any folder you prefer.
d) Create a shortcut to this script, name it (eg. ToggleToday.lnk) and put the shortcut inside the folder "\Windows\Start Menu\Programs".
e) Go to Settings->Buttons, and simply assign "Button 1(Hold)" to point to the ToggleToday shortcut.
Of course you are free to experiment with other settings or assign it any other buttons.
Another thing to note is, because TF3D will "take over" the Home hardware button, I have no choice but to kill it, so that the classic Today Screen can be activated after TF3D is killed. However this also means the next time you activate TF3D, it will take some time to load. So please be patient and wait for the TF3D while it is loading.
Anyway, this is my first attempt at using MortScript, just a simple piece of work, but hope that I can bring some joy to my fellow Diamond users.
Hope that it works for you guys
Thanks Wensing
The mortscript suggestion works perfectly.
I am running SwiftBL 3.0, and when I launch the script, TouchFLO3d restarts automatically. Does this script work only on roms that have uninstallable manila?
Or do I have to edit some registry settings so that manila doesn't restart automatically?
when I try and assign a button there are no buttons to select in my menu, any ideas why?
Uncheck TF3D

So far, I am using Settings->Buttons and I assign "ToggleManila" to Button1(Hold). By default this may have been assigned to other programs such as Voice Commander etc. Just replace it with "ToggleManila".
I am not familiar with other more advance programs that allow u to assign it to the other hard buttons, so I am sorry I can't advice u on that.
By the way, u might have to create a shortcut that points to the actual file where u place the ToggleManila.mscr, and then u put this shortcut (I simply name it ToggleManila.lnk) inside Windows->Start Menu->Programs before u can select "ToggleManila".
See if it works.
This works great, thanks everyone involved!
I find it better than 2nd Today because the device is much quicker without manila running.

I'm using Dutty's Diamond v1.8 (full) and used to have speed problems when launching applications, particularly after using the audio player.
TF3D is alright but it doesn't actually do anything that special. The weather screen is pretty but most of the other screens are useless, especially the horribly limited 'favourite contacts'. Now that I've got used to the standard windows today screen I prefer it.
I'm looking forward to trying out Schap's TouchXperience though!
that's work very nice
now we must wait for TFL3D tasks and who knows how this thing will be
this works great with the manila2D with the touch. One question though. The script kills the manila2D very quickly, but it does take several seconds for it to run it; any way of speeding that up?
thanks for the script
work very well
thanks for the script. great work
As Leekg has mentioned you can use TF3D and SPB Shell together.
I have left TF3D as it is and installed the SPB Shell as well. On the home screen have reprogrammed one of the Soft keys to SPB Menu -- touching that takes me to the Shell. Closing it brings me back to TF3D!
I do have a question though -- is there any way of changing the default msic player to windows media?
before i install a rom with Manila... Is this possible?
I really like PhoneAlarm becauase of all its advanced features (profiles, Activesync settings, ringtones, reminder sms settings,...)
But i dont use the buttons on the today screen, BUT phonealarm needs to be activated as a today plugin to work...
Thnx
Not sure about manila compatability but there is an invisble skin for PhoneAlarm on their site so you can have it run but not see it on your home screen.
perfect, thats the answer i was looking for
now indeed, it has to work with manila :S
we shall see
Does anybody on here know how to close manila via a softkey and return to the today screen?
I can set a soft key in today to launch manila by starting manila.exe but is there a switch i can add or sonething to close it?
Thanks in advance
Try this...
Hello my friend...
Check this out. It lets you switch easily between the standard 'Today' screen, and TF3D
