Is there a way to turn off TouchFLO?

i dont like to use touch flo and would like to know if someone has found a way to disable it ?
thanks, eric

their is touchflo option in settings (under system I think), should allow you to disable it

Go to the the TODAY settings...
From the Today Screen:
1. Go to SETTINGS
2. Select TODAY icon
3. Select ITEMS tab (at the bottom)
4. UNCHECK the "HTC Home" item
5. Click OK and go back to the Today Screen
It should be gone!

the touchflo (finger panning) option is the one i want to turn off.
i still want to keep the htc home in my today screen.

there is only one checked box about the sound on/off when panning. no where to disable it.

I'd love to turn touchflo off. It seems pretty worthless. It scrolls a page to slowly and in PIE its hard to get it to stop when u get to a spot you want to view.

I had followed above with soft reset also, but still the "touch flo" function running in PIE. This is pretty annoying and useless function if you used to your finger scrolling webpages with PIE plus.
Another one can helps..Thank.

Try changing HKLM\Software\OEM\TFLOSettings\EnableScroll to 0 then reboot.
I haven't tried it yet.

That worked perfect neighbor. The touchflo scrolling made it near impossible to drag separator lines. I greatly prefer to tap in the scroll-bar field to page up/down. Thanks again.

Out of curiosity does that change also speed up PIE scrolling the normal way ? - cos it's super laggy and worse than TyTn in the out of the box setup.

Well if i hold my finger in the scroll bar field it will page up/down at 4 pages a second. The reg edit doesn't seem to have changed anything other than the touchflo scrolling

TouchFlO Scrolling and Sound
A Couple questions here:
Is there a way to tweak touchflo scrolling such that it only goes one page length at a time, instead of 4 or 5?
Is there away to turn of the clicking sound as it scrolls?
I'm assuming these are just annoyances of an immature feature that was rushed out the door, but hoping there are fixes available or that HTC is smart enough to fix the problems in future releases.

Have you even looked at the settings in your tilt\Kaiser? you would have found atleast on answer to your questions just by looking around and learning your device!

I guess to each his/her own, but I personally think the TouchFLO interface is a huge improvement in usability. Perhaps it just takes some getting used to. And with TouchFLO, you can still essentially do all the things you could without TouchFLO. E.g. the scroll bars are still there to be used if you like that. And you can still use the stylus for normal operations. There seems to be some confusion about how it works so let me explain the "use cases".
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).
once I got used to it, i found it to be an excellent upgrade in the interface. I don't think it was a "feature that was rushed out the door" at all. in fact that it reads the stylus and your finger differently speaks to the idea that thought went into it.
Use it on a web page to see the different use cases. If you browse a PDF file, it'll drag even with a stylus because you can't "highlight and select" within a PDF file, so it knows that use case is invalid.
Also, You can change the sensitivity by using a reg tweak: HKLM-DRIVERS-TOUCHPANEL-PRESSURE THRESHOLD. Increase/decrease it for more/less sensitivity.

You do realize this has nothing to do with TouchFlo ... right?

Nice writeup, thanks!
Richard "Still Jonesing for a Tilt"

I wish there was a way to partially disable the Kaiser implementation of touchflo --specifically, the feature where if you drag scroll and your finger ends up at one of the edges of the screen (which is really easy on a 2.8" screen using your thumb) it goes into the continuous scrolling mode. I wish those edge regions of the screen were treated just like any other.

Thanks from me too for this tip. I don't use TouchFLO and I found the touchscreen on my TyTN II a bit annoying with this enabled. Sometimes it wouldn't react to tapping so I had to tap twice. This was maybe one out of every three or four taps.

T-mobile Wing Mod Requests :)

hello all, i have a couple requests (most likely has to do with registry editing)
1: Hide the top bar (time, and stuff)
2: Have a big invisible x button to close programs (no need for stylus)
3: Hide bottom bar (calendar/contacts) but still be able to use the soft keys to access them
thanks a bunch in advanced

nice request
those are some nice request. but if someone even tries to cook this rom then we should think of giving them a donation for their work dont you think?

As taken from my guide:
Can I get rid of the "Contacts / Calendar" bar?
Dcino Bar is a great app to get rid of it. Simply place this app in your Windows/Startup folder, you can download it Here

you can still use the keys on the phone to access the "contacts or calendar"

thx a lot tyler, it worked great, is there anyway to make it invisible for all programs as well?

One of the Rom Cookers need to keep these ideas in mind...
Maybe have a version out which is fully powered by the touch cube and pocketCM default. Its becoming more smoother to use as a regular phone and I can see my calendar on the main screen!!!

i actually prefer a software solution rather than loading a new rom

The author of pocketCM asks that it not be included in ROMs.

Ugh... yes! I want a big x button so I don't have to turn my finger and slide it up in the corner to hit the x.
WM5 on the older PALM devices have the X button moved to the left so it's not up against the edge; can we do that on the thing by editing the registry somehow?

I use FTouchSL to do this. I made the top left active corner a close option so it closes the application thats open. You can set how many pixels it is & the amount of time it takes to activate. It works perfectly

See No Evil 2.5 ?

I just got a Tilt and tried the SNE 2.5. For anyone using it I have a few questions.
My Fn keys don't seem to line up to the keyboard for example
On the Tilt Q has ! on it and W has @ on it. When I do Fn and Q I get @ instead of !. Other keys have this issue as well.
Also I get a rainbow color at the top when in portrait mode.
I can't seem to make voice dialing a side button like I could with my 8525 default ATT ROM.

**This is NOT intended as a flame**
You did not read properly before jumping in head first. Start with the Kaiser Wiki and GWENI linked in my signature.

just install this and soft reset. It will fix your keyboard settings. bye.

Thank both and I didn't see that wiki. The keyboard is fixed but I don't see anything in the wiki about the rainbow coloring I am having. The voice command that the wiki talks about isn't my issue. Button 6 exists but with this ROM it doesn't list the Voicecommand as a option under all the settings.

post a screen shot of the rainbow coloring you are receiving.

Here you go.

That really isn't a screenshot so I cannot answer the rainbow question because I can hardly see it. Anyhow, I'm sure you searched how to remap button 6. There are a few cab files floating around that will allow you to do that without any issues.

That is a battery status bar.
Take a look at the SNE thread to confirm it.

Sorry try this shot.
It's not button 6 that's the issue it's that voice dial isn't listed as an app that can be applied to button 6.
Thanks jym04 that is what the coloring is at the top. Thank you for pointing it out.
Now if I can figure out why a MMS message isn't downloading and the voice dial I can use this thing.
A side note on the 8525 the 3G icon wouldn't be big like it is in my picture it would always show two arrows saying it's constantly connected. I used the tweaks that are built into the ROM to say always connected but nothing.

with the bar on top of your display (you call it rainbow color) you can watch your battery status. It´s not a bug, it´s a feature

Create a shortcut to voice dial in your Start Menu (or subdirectory therein). Then it will appear as an app that you can apply to buttons.
I got flamed for asking a similar question (different app) and I couldn't find an answer through search either.

Thank you Exitao!

Wow proud to see ppl still flashing my ROMS...

[APP] TF3D Landscapefix

Hey guys,
Here is the promised fix for the TF3D landscapemode. This is for english ROMs only. For any other language you have to fix the Program Files paths.
This SHOULD work on any english ROM with TF3D.
1. Install cmEXlandscape.cab
2. Install SecondToday.cab
3. Softreset
Note that this is only a WORKAROUND, so there may be minor bugs, but in general it should work fine.
http://rapidshare.com/files/183521003/cmEX_landscape_WWE.rar
---> Don't close Second Today. Best if you add it to the exclusive list of the HTC Taskmanager.
bye

Ah, that's interesting indeed... Will try it out. Thanks

what exactly does this workaround?
tnx for your work

A step in the right direction anyway...works reasonably well.

Very Nice!
I'll give it a shot later today

ehm... I mean what tecnically does. How it works

running secondtoday with rltoday in background. mortscripts makes it active windows when device is put into landscape and minimized when going back to portrait.

What happens when I will minimize all windows (red button press)?? What if I am not using the TF3D Panel (for whatever reason)

It will minimize SecondToday if you press the HangUp button. Not running TF3D won't run the script at all.

No, TF3D is running all the time.
Slow? Not really. Not much slower than on a Touch Pro.

Perfect Works like a charm!
I find myself sliding my keyboard out much more often now. Heh
EDIT: Donation sent =)

first of all sorry for my english
and this is a great application!!
i added second today in exclusive task manager list,
But.. every time i slide out the keyboard to landscape mode it always kick back to portrait mode.
i soft reset then tried again and it works in landscape (but sometimes still kick back to portrait) and when i slide in back to portrait it show me a weird today screen (see attached file)

thanks in advance
cheers

I may be wrong, but it looks like you don't have TouchFLO 3D running in the background, you need it running.

Understood.
Is it possible that Jack's V1.06 ROM does not work with this workaround?
If anyone is using these .cabs with Jack's, please shout it out! We'd most likely have an answer then.

This does not work with the TF3D Panel... does it?

Left-Handed Diamond?

Wouldn't it be great to have a Diamond FOR LEFT HANDS? Even though I'm a Right-Hander, I have a friend who's a lefty, and wants one. Post other ideas and pics and ideas for morphing the Diamond.

I am a lefty and proud to be one.
I don't care so much about the hardware buttons on the phone, but more about the software.
Most of the time when I try to scroll using a slibebar I dont see anymore whats on screen because my left hand is covering the screen to reach the bars. Thats more the kind of stuff that buggs me...
Windows should ask after a hard reset if you want to install right hand or left hand windows.
Tomtom does have "lefty-support" and I like it.

I'm a rightie, but I can control my diamond with both of my hands.
I think, the only problem controlling the diamond with my left hand is the vertical scrollbar. Except that, I don't think there's another issue.
But there SHOULD be an option to put the scrollbar to any side of your preference.

So, I don't have a clue what you're talking about.

There is no any application to moving sidebar on the left??

Not only for Diamond! but for any other HTC device would be great to have a left handed!!

I want it too..!
