Alright quick (probably simple) question but i cant find the answer to it anywhere. Im trying to cook a Rom for a friend and i have never baked touchflo into a Rom but he wants it. I asked him if he wants the whole cube thing and he told me that he wanted to simply be able to drag his finger up or down to scroll (like the kaiser does). So now my real question is whether this is a part of touchflo or not. Either way I dont care, if i have to install the whole cube package and then disable the cube via reg edits, i can, but i would rather there just be an OEM that lets me do the scrolling. Anyone have any insight to this matter? I have quite a few different OEM packs from around the internet and i have countless OEMs of touchflo. Hope someone knows something about this. Thanks in advance, guys!

Do a forum search for "touchflo"......... The VERY FIRST hit by efrost points in HUGE RED LETTERS to what your friend wants.............................
i appreciate your help (and/or bitterness towards my question.) but lo, i have another. does anyone know where an oem can be downloaded of this touch application by efrost or should i create my own using the cab? either way works, one is just easier
I guess what i am really trying to ask is what is touch flo considered generally? is it the cube or just the scrolling? how is it defined by this community?
touchflo is a cab. cube is separate application. but u need touchflo in order to use cubes.

Hi folks,
I have a question and I hope the answer will make flashing much more comfortable for me (and maybe for some others)
Is there any chance to backup the customs of the launcher and the favourite people in HTC home plugin?

I think you can make a cab for yourself, and every time run that cab.
It's just some reg settings you have to take care off.
do you happen to know any good links to making a cab file?
I'm interested in giving it a go, but I could only find programs that created exe files with multi cabs within them, It would be better if I could simply have a cab file to launch with, that I can store on my PPC SD card.
Hum,
Unfortunately I have no idea which reg settings I have to store......
hey guys i just stumbled into a nice new(launched 1-1-08) program called Pointui it's a skin program for wm5 & wm6 phones. i am running it right now on my wing and i love the damn thing. but don't take my word for it check out what JASON CHEN from Gismondo had to say about it :http://gizmodo.com/339835/pointui-s...it-usable-best-wm-skin-app-ever?autoplay=true . btw guys i am in now way whatsoever affiliated to whoever made the program, i've learned so many things about my wing from this site that i just wanted to give everyone a heads up. again the program it totally free with absolutley no hoops to jump through.
btw the program has to be installed through activesync ( just so u know) also the link to the website it at the bottom of the review.
and here the homepage:
http://www.pointui.com/
and the .cab for installing
Very nice indeed, I used it for 3/4 days and got sick of
the non-costumizable look. I subscribed to their forum,
a LOT of people want it to be costumizable, so I
think i'll wait for the next release.
I quote from PoitUI Forum:
The Dutchman said:
-Today screen Plug-in, just can't miss batteryStatus, quicklaunch and WLM.
-Graphic costomizer of course
-Inversing the up/down sliding
-At the right top, a CLOSE button when running an app
-When pressing e.g. WiFi in top, then activating it.
-Removal of Operator name
-when one want's to go to programs-->games (or whatever secondary
or third or fourth folder) not having to press (select) it, but slide on it to
the left to go to its content
But after all, KUDO'S 8)

There is one problem for all these today-good-lokking-interface-programms = they are working with windows apps.
but like pointui - all is finally redirected to the crappy winmobile software - when wiritng sms or anything else.
comming there, can be very nice - cube, pointui, spbmobile shell --> but at the end we stop there where we could get by
-->
pressing - start-programms-messaging

There is no .exe (and there is no cake).
To install a .cab file on your device you just copy the .cab on the device and then run the .cab.
got it

thanks got it to run, so far so good
I tried this out yesterday, it's pretty neat. My only 2 complaints are a lack of task manager and it eats up A LOT of battery. I uninstalled it.
Hi all, first I want to say that this site is UNBELEIVABLE!!! I've learned more in one day of reading threads than I did in the weeks I spent researching the 8525 before I bought it! Now to my questions....I am seriouly in love with the touch cube interface I have been reading about and seeing all over the web, I am exstatic that Slither has made one that is compatible with my Hermes, my questions are...if I install it on my phone will I lose anything as far as applications and/or functionality? is it a Permanent change? and am I still able to use my slide out QWERTY?(In ALL the vids I've seen of the program, I've never seen anyone acctually USE the slide out QWERTY)
thanks
Your phone will still be completely functional with Slither's SCLPC++ on it. Remember, you don't actually install it...you run it as a program on the phone. It exists outside of the regular OS, and simply acts as a application launcher/dialer. There is also a great configuration tool for it available here on the boards.
If you don't have fTouchFlo on your phone, you'll need to install that first, and then configure it to launch the cube with an upswipe if you desire that. Personally, I'm not big on that method; I edit my registry to change my left soft key to open the cube.
...and no, it is not permanent. You simply delete the file. Read the thread where Slither explains how and what to do to get it working. As for your question about the keyboard, the cube will not change to landscape when the keyboard is out, but it will still launch just fine and work as promised.
Thank you so much I also found a FTouchFlo on the HTC wiki Forums ( http://rapidshare.com/files/75947199/HTCCube_FTouchFlo_TFloCubeCtrlv110_Config-xplode.cab ) Is this one any good and what is the difference between this one and Sliver's? Also will I be able to change the back ground of my Home screen or will I need to install the HHC(HTC Home Configurator)?
fTouchFlo is made by another user, not Slither2006. See here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=338143&highlight=ftouchflo
Just get the last one on there, v.1.4.1. efrost also makes a commercial version of it, but I've never tried it.
As for you Home screen, I assume you mean the HTC Home plugin. Yes, HHC is invaluable for customizing that.
...I do suggest that you search for some of these answers, though.
Hey guys..
I've been trying to play around for a while to make some TF3D themes, but i am completley new to WM devices and HTC's. Just like everything else, when i get something new i want to modify it. i want to break it by running code blessed by the greatest programmer ever, me.. jk.. completley..
Anyway.. i've been googling, searched xda, search ppc, and some other sites on tutorials on creating touchflo 3d themes and windows mobile themes. I got past the WM theme part, but i'm stuck with TF3d.
I've never seen these types of CAB files before. What software do you use to compile them and wheres the starting point to make a theme? Any help would be more than appreciated. I've skinned everything from Brew phones to internet tablets, gnome, kde and flux, xp and media center extenders.. If someone could point me in the right direction to get my feet off the ground i'll be able to pull myself up the rest of the way.
Thanks!
lot of us

a lot of us who do change things do not like to use cab files. Sometimes they are not able to be rolled back. Than a hard reset is in order. i would say to make themes concentrate on manila files. You can edit them with manila editor by dman. search that on the forum. Then make your tf3d icons 128x128 for hero icons and 64x64 for tray icons. Check out some of my themes.
A program you will also need is Total Commander-to move the manila files.

Thanks buddy! i appreciate the information!!!
nice
thank you so much man
This may be a really stupid question, but is it possible to create a tab for practically anything? I know they have updated the Weather Tab in the Touch HD to pull more weather data, and there is also the stock tab where you can get stock info right from the tab. My question is if these tabs can be formatted to show anything from an internet source or feed. For example sports scores or news. I've seen this in Bell's UI for the TP, but is it possible to do if you can find the right source? I don't know how to program and wouldn't be able to do this, I was just throwing it out there as a question to see if its possible. Thanks!
does anyone have any ideas on this?
I'm wondering the same thing. Some tabs on TF3D like the People and Mail tab are pretty far from useful. It would be great if these could be edited or replaced.
It's entirely possible. I've stumbled onto docs and dev tools for writing your own tabbed whatever on this site. It wasn't of interest to me so I don't know where they are offhand but a little searching should bring them up eventually. Maybe check the wiki, also.
I'm really intersted in this so I can make some useful tabs. I'm so sick of the music tab!
I've been keeping an eye out but haven't seen anything useful in the way of docs or info yet. If anyone finds some info could they please post links here?
Please!
heh

Yes, I am interested in developing new tabs, too. Seems to me that developing a visual voicemail tab that would work with the youmail.com service just makes a lot of sense to have on a phone.
I asked that question before, and got the following links in response.

Unfortunately, I've got a ton of VB6 experience that does no good here. I'm willing to write some good psuedo code, if there is anyone with LUA experience that can help me with the tab.
Whoa guys and girls you have no idea what you are asking. This is not something you do by editing a tab a little bit. Creating new tabs will requires you to be able to create mode9 files from scratch and have some real experience with lua coding. Only one who's done that on this forum is D-man (calender tab). I've been working with xbox on the rhodium manila editing mode9 and lua files I can do, but creating them from scratch is very hard and will consume a lot (like a whole lot) of time. For someone with experience it will be hard, and I'm ready to team up with someone who thinks he can but it's probably a project of weeks or maybe months. But hey I might be wrong here , 12
