I tried searching on here and other sites to disable the touchflo contact cards & Call History but have not come up with anything. I want to revert to the WM6.5 contacts and contacts cards and call history. I'm looking for performance over looks. To me the touchflo version is basically a skinned WM version IMO.
P.S. I don't feel like reading people complain asking me why I want to do this. Just answers please...
registry key changes would be your best bet in that situation, not sure how but ill try to get back to u and update what i can find, all though no one had this type of request before, this is really rare...
hey~
i think either 'diamon tweak' and/or diamond tf3d config' should do the trick. although, speaking form experiance, i had a problem with the contact tab missing from my tf3d interface and was only able to restore it w/a registry tweak....so if the programs don't do the trick you may need to search for the specific registry keys and edit them w/a regediting program.
good luck!

so i got a t-mobile wing. my first smart phone. its amazing. anyways i have a few questions:
1. Where can i get a nice big digital clock today screen plugin? i see them on screen shots of peoples screens but i can't find any.
2. Are there any good weather today screen plugins?
3. Some people (or at least on other devices) have SMS as a softkey, mine are calendar and contacts, is there a simple option to make the calendar softkey be SMS instead? or do i have to edit the registry or something crazy like that to get it?
4. Do i really have to worry about viruses on this thing? i saw something like WM5 Anti Virus program, so im just wondering.
5. What is the best browser to use?
if you guys could help me that would be great. i have yet to find a forum about WM6 or the Wing that where people actually go to the site.
All of those and more are located within the forum in easy to find threads. The great thing about looking around the forum is you will find stuff out that you never even thought of. I would recommend reading and getting acquainted to the forums, its a much better way to learn than someone just linking you somewhere. And congrats on your new Wing.

this is HTC home plugin
2. Are there any good weather today screen plugins?
HTC home plugin shows weather. if not try SPB Weather, SPB Traveler, SPB phone suite (the only ones I have experience with)
3. Some people (or at least on other devices) have SMS as a softkey, mine are calendar and contacts, is there a simple option to make the calendar softkey be SMS instead? or do i have to edit the registry or something crazy like that to get it?
Go to Settings, Buttons to change the softkeys
4. Do i really have to worry about viruses on this thing? i saw something like WM5 Anti Virus program, so im just wondering.
In my opinion, no not really ... just be considerate of what you install on your phone and what executable files you run.
5. What is the best browser to use?
I haven't settled on one yet, but I use Mozilla's MINIMO and OPERA 8.X apart from IE.

Hope this helps
i guess my other post didn't show up? well every search results in HTC Home or TouchFlo.
i don't want all the stuff from HTC home, just the clock and simple weather, no tabs or any of that stuff. is there a way to have just the clock and/or weaher?
and thanks for your help
also, going to settings>buttons has no optinos for softkeys, only hardware keys.
opera mobile is a lot better, i like how you can scroll by dragging on the screen.
I do use Opera most of the time, I've just always been a big supporter of Mozilla stuff ... so I keep it around
I just wanted to give you a few options so you could try them out for yourself and see what you liked.
i havn't tried minimo because i heard it was slow and uses a lot of memory. is that true?
Hi there... im pleased with myself for having dumped the stock ROM (4 Raws) and then going through the HSPL, which i checked is good!!
ive got my touch to use WiFi and not 3G when using the net at home even tho im on Orange Uk which is supposed to be set to 3g only etc
but i want to got WM 6.5 but am so unsure of which version to use... tbh i can seem to find out which release has what functions, no language stated as i read some where spanish or something lol!
i just see V12, V13 V14 to download etc no real explanations as to the content... Well not for a novice anyways..
so i know it may have been asked before but would someone (or many) please point me in the direction of something that is stable with no known major issues (such as wifi not working or something) and looks nice/fucntions smoothly...
if possible!
thank you so much to all that have helps via the modding topics and all those that reply here!
thanks!
Dave
A lot is down to personal preference
I have Jade Overloaded WM65 OS 5.21806 OEM 2.33.721.1 on my device, try it see how it goes if you don't like it try another.
go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=524102
can i simply put a rom over the top of the other then??
i am a real novice but trying to learn been on here hours going through dumping and the hspl... slowly but surely!
there are a few areas still im still in the dark about...
1) i regedit all the time on pcs and lappys etc but how do you on the fone?
2) still a bit vague on how to actually install the roms...
i have jade customRUU, but i read that was for just updating the splash and something else without installing a whole rom? i could be well wrong but im sure i did read that!
just not sure what to do tbh! lol!
thank you so much for your rom suggestion and if you could shed any light on my other qu's i'd appriciate it so much!
thanks again!
Dave
Yes you just flash it over old rom, its like upgrading a pc it wipes all personal stuff etc
to edit registry you need prog like total commander
go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=514406 you will find all you need to flash new roms on your phone
My advice for WM6.5 is to wait for the official Microsoft release, that is September 2009 (hopefully). All of WM6.5 ROMs on this site are beta, so they all have bugs. From all of them i'll recommend pdaviet's v14, but it's only my personal opinion.
If you still want to flash, just read this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=514406
and knock yourself out!
Good luck!
thanks lex i went with flubs recommendation and while its great there are some things im not too keen on!
i love the wifi side of things and how thats a priority over using the 3g etc
still cant get the weather to function tho... as you say im sure things will improve once the official release comes
having same probs with weather myself.
like lex said all are beta and have some bugs, you just gotta find one your happy with for me personaly its Jade Overloaded WM65 OS 5.21806 OEM 2.33.721.1 the weather function is no prob I will sort it out hopefully but if not I can live with it I will just remove it from home screen LOL
yeah still working out how to do things... being my 1st wm system...
wanna change the order in start menu..
quick link/button to turn wifi on/off
change the homescreen both features and order...
change the background as that is a little disappointing lol
i was looking at the manila 2d is it? but seen so many people having issues with it im not sure i wanna install it!
lol lots of reading searching to do :-( haha!
If you flashed the overloaded rom I suggested then you have touch flo installed you need to go to settings / today items tab and select touchflo
if you wanna change order in start menu you can select and hold an item menu will opo up saying move to top
hi flub!
seems i was running with Windows Default... which i actually liked.. but if i select something else that deselects :-(
i just have touchflow selected and pressed ok... i like the layout gonna take some gettin used to! lol
i went to the weather options removed what was there and selcted add to be presented with a full list of towns etc...
selected the one closest to me.. it updated and is working!!!!
pitty the default wont work tho! will run with the touch system from now then!
thank you so much! your help/advice is very appriciated!

you can use a registry editor then navigate to the following registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\OEM\
Under the registry key, create a new DWORD value with value name as SMSInboxThreadingDisabled and set it value data to 1.
or here is a cab file to disable sms conversation http://www.ziddu.com/download.php?uid=a6uanZema7OelOKnZqqhkZSrY6ybl5mo6
Well Flub you truely are a star!!
fully appriciate all the help you've given me!
will most prob go for the cab hehe!
thanks again!
Dave

Hi,
I am a pretty basic user and way back when there was a change to Manilla that i really didn't like, and all newer versions seem to have this one annoying feature that almost kills all newer ROMS for me. It's in the messaging, specifically SMS, where (i believe) if u enter a message thread by clicking the message, there's a centered text box now and the soft keys have changed. Where "send" used to be, now there is "back." I can't tell you how many mssgs i've lost because i accidentilly hit the back button.
I think this happened from one version of Manilla to the next? If so can anyone tell me which version incorporated the change so i can look for the older versions, or if there is a fix out there to get back to simple threaded sms
TIA!
Thing you are describing is feature of manila 2.0 and higher. There is simply solution thanks to user CMYLXGO. Try google for "cmylxgo rhodium sms app disable". Install the cab and next time you tap the message you get the well known windows SMS application
oh awesome! thanks....maybe now i can get into 6.5
I keep going back and forth between the two on my Imagio, but I think once we get TF3D 2.5 I'll be able to stick with HTC's software. Question is: Will the Imagio handle it well?
BTW thanks for the resource here!
me too, I have been going back in forth between the current touchflo version on the Imagio and SPB Mobile Shell.
Has anyone come up with a tweak yet for touch flo 3d 2.5 for the Imagio.
SPB MS 3.5 for me
I have been playing with TouchFlo since the first version on the HTC Touch and it is just too much work. I downloaded MS3.5 and I couldn't be happier. It takes up fewer resources and the customization is as easy as dragging and dropping. I use the leisure theme with a five panel widget home screen. You can add picture frames as widgets among other cool items. The contact management is integrated with Facebook automatically and the smart dial is awesome. If I decide I want to do custom icons later, I can get as deep into the xml component as I want.

See, now, I get the whole "pretty" thing with this shell, but I found it to be just too confusing because it has a lot of redundancies. On the other hand, TouchFlo by HTC is really powerful, but it needs more "clues" to find all of its functionality. Idunno..I just wish we could get this thing hspl unlocked so that the gurus can start cooking up some new roms..
TF3D does not work for me. I need to quickly check email and delete tehm on the fly and access many parts of the phone. Why cant we load the new Sense UIon the Imagio. MS 3.5 is great but the contacts and dialer are badly broken. I cant search for contacts easily by typing parts of the name (only searches file as field) and from the dialer screen you cannot get into the details of a contact to E.G. select an alternate number to dial.
I have been trying both on my new imagio, and am currently sticking with SPBMS3.5. The main reason is that for some reason, the text messaging interface with TF3D messes up my ability to rotate to landscape when replying to a message. I am not sure why...
I have hard reset, and it works for a short period of time, because it seems to be using the standard Winmo texting interface. After receiving a message from a contact, the interface seems to switch to a custom TF3D version, and I can no longer use the landscape keyboard.
Plus I like that I can have virtually all the things I need on a sweetly configured main screen at one tap.
My two cents...

The folks over at PPCGeeks have unlocked the Imagio! And there are a number of ROMs already ready for flashing. As for TF3D and Mobile Shell, I have found no issues with TF, and with the new Cookies home tabs, its even easier for me. I tried that mobile shell, and there were too many reduntant applications, and by the time I got what I wanted set up, it was several pages between what I really needed and what I needed to go through. That, and after a couple days, my phone started to really get buggy. I finally gave up and went back to TF.
Now, that was before flashing to an Energy ROM. Things are much better now! Check out PPCGeeks HTC Imagio section, several ROMS there waiting for you!
You know I just saw those this weekend and they look very promising! Especially the MaxManilla on the horizon. I am not sure whether to go with Manilla or Cookies...Any thoughts?
As for the TF3D and texting, I did some googling and found the fix. Sorry, but I can't remember, but I think it was on PPCGeeks. Had to add some manilla reg values and change one other and voila! It works now. Still not sure if I like TF3D better than SPB, but I am giving it a shot. What I do like is that SPB can have multiple weather cities. I don't think that I like the 3D mail reader on either app.
Thanks again for the tips.

I just got a second hand Touch Pro and flashed an official 6.1 ROM obtained from htc.com on it. I managed to change a lot of the disgusting interfaces, but I couldn't find a solution for SMS and Contacts.
I was wondering, are there ways to somehow change the interface of those without flashing my ROM? I know apps like Easy Contact and stuff, but they don't seem to be fully replaceable (as in, Easy Contact will show up in the "Contacts" button in TF3D instead of the original Windows Contacts)
I know I'm asking for a question that I'm pretty sure everybody would ask. I swear though, I searched for the whole day but I could sadly find nothing related, so... help me out a little bit here?
Thanks in advanced!
sms to be
just search for sms skins i found some on this site the other day and they look way better
.
the lattest energy rom
here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=536751

Thanks for the recommendations, but I don't think i really want to flash my ROM right now...
Are there any Contact skins?
