View attachment buttonfreeCUBE.CAB

I think softkey is more practical because this seems to only work using the stylus.

Interesting. I will give this a try. Thank you.

Excellent work! Thank you very much!

tested it and it works! thanks.
Great. . .nice addition to our wizards functionality. . .

Great. Have to try.
How can i upgrade my mda vario2 aku from 2.3 to 3.0 ?? Will the nbd rom work on aku 3.0??

Thanks for new Cab, work great on wizard.Thanks

i installed the CAB on my k-jam NBD 7.9 n it's not showing up using the finger move

how do you turn it on then ?

i have the same problem. no button like in the nbd threat. i must activate it with a button, which i choose with soft key!
any ideas?

it's always on and just press inbetween the to spftkeys and do a slide down
and it can be done in any window or program ... but needs some practis to get it working evry time

WOW this is very nice really WOW.

NBD is a WM6 branch ROM, which is beyond WM5 AKU3.x

wow, this will save me one extra softkey to use. Hopefully it works to my liking. Thanks gullum.

Buttonless CUBE
MIne works a little TO WELL. NBD has added Buttonless Cube by default..and the cube keeps popping up at unwanted times..since it's part of the rom I can't just uninstall the cab file so how can I DISABLE the buttonless part and go back to just using the softkey?

just delete everything in this key
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\TFLOSettings]

pay attention to the warning about the black default theme...didn't really read it...installed cab...only to have a phone that wouldn't boot, so had to hard reset...otherwise, this seems like a useless for cab for those using the cube...

Thank you for your prompt response. I exported the reg and will look at it further after I finish configuring the rom and software but the cube popping up every 3 seconds was driving me insane.
I have a tmobile mda [vario] (htc wizard) and I tried the registry entries from first post and the ones in NBD 8.3 by default (some values were different) and it was way to sensitive.

you can change the "fingerpressure" key to be less and the cube will not show up as often, or the "boundry" to make it have to slide longer or shorter to make the cube show.

Has anybody found a way (maybe somewhere in the registry) to turn this thing up-side-down?
I mean:
Is it possible to activate the cube by sliding up from the softkey-bar (instead of down)?
And of course: close it by sliding down (instead of up)...
I know these are two different things, but why not ask both at the same time?!

Internet Explorer touch-scroll very sticky/choppy

I've had my Orbit 2 for one day and find internet explorer unusable, so much that I'm considering sending it back and staying with my hermes/tytn/Orange M3100. The touch scroll/flow is very very sticky and slow.
On my hermes I have SPB Pocket Plus installed with the 'Smart Scrolling' feature on. With this, Internet Explorer finger-scrolling down web pages is super-smooth and fast.
I installed SPB Pocket Plus on my Orbit 2 thinking this would sort the problem out but when installed on the Orbit 2 the Smart Scrolling feature is missing (!?)
I really don't want to send the phone back, so any help with resolving this issue would be very much appreciated.

Please.... This has already been posted so often! Why don't you simply use the search function?
I'll give you one hint, however: ie_slow_scroll_fix.cab

sorry, I did search but didn't find that cab. thanks for the pointer!
I've installed it and scrolling is much improved, but still nowhere near as good as om my hermes with SPB Pocket plus installed with the Smart Scrolling feature.
Does anyone know why the Smart Scrolling feature of SPB Pocket plus isn't available when installed on the polaris (Orbit 2)?

try disabling htc's touchflo 1st?

It appears SBP PP's Smart Scrolling is not compatible with any TouchFlo device. I suppose thats a good enough reason for a little donation to support the chefs with their cooking of a TouchFlo + SPB Smart Scrolling compatible rom.

also u can try PIE for windows 6.1

Why not install the new Netfront Browser 3.5? It's got a really smooth scrooling function combined with tabbed browsing and the zoom-out function (like Opera mini). And it's free until May 31, so you won't have to worry anymore for the next three months.
The IE_slow_scroll_fix.cab, however, made scrolling perfectly smooth on my device. I don't think it could be much better. So perhaps you try to do a hard reset and then install it first or uninstall SPB and then install the cab? It should work almost perfectly...

Think TouchFlo + SPB Smart Scrolling compatible is impossible. You'd have to choose one. That's why I'd rather use SPB which at least comes with updates for bugs.

I agree with maati:
Install Netfront. Maybe till end of May HTC has released a new rom where the bug is fixed.

This worked for me

try this one also.. PIE for WM6.1
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=69019&d=1202193751

Guys, thanks for the suggestions!
I already have Netfont Browser 3.5 installed, and it has a very nice 'action'. Is there any way to get it to scale down the web page to a column like Internet Explorer does?
I've just tried Pocket Internet Explorer for WM6.1 (Thanks for the link alipi2007) and running this along with the IE_Slow_Scroll_Fix cab seems to do a better job.
However, let me give you an example to decribe the issue I still have:
When using the Polaris to view the index of this forum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/index.php), I flick my thumb from the bottom of the Polaris screen to the top three times in quick succession - the screen scrolls and halts at the picture of the Wallaby handset.
Now, when I do the same on my Hermes running SPB Pocket Plus with Smart Scrolling, this three flicks of my thumb up the screen takes me down to the picture of the Vogue.
Quite some difference, don't you agree?
It's this speed of navigation and fluidity that I need on my Polaris.

Do you like Manilla2D/3D or not

Most recent cooked ROM's come with Manilla2D, and now, thanks to the P3D team even with Manilla3D. I personally am not a fan of Manilla, for a number of reasons, and I would like your opinion. So vote please!
I'm hoping for future ROM's without Manilla preinstalled. For the following reasons:
Manilla only shows 1 upcoming appointment. That's not enough overview for me. Furthermore you have to jump through hoops to have it directly open your favorite PIM manager's calendar like Pocket Informant
When wanting to call someone while driving a car, the Cube fits best. I can almost call my wife without looking at the screen once. Scrolling to the persons-tab in Manilla takes a lot of precision and attention.
I use the sound profiles tab in HTC Home Plugin a lot, putting my device on silent or vibrating with one click. I haven't found that funtionality in Manilla
I lock my device a lot, preventing buttons from being pushed in my pocket. Device Lock could be on the programs tab in Manilla (with all my other favorite progs). But then again, it is hard to reach that tab accurately, as mentioned earlier for the persons tab
I really must admit Manilla looks way better than the standard Today screen and it's nice to have something new to look at, but I'm not willing to give up functionality for that.
No disrespect is meant to people who spend their time on cooking ROM's and sharing them with others. I really appreciate everything. I'm just hoping I won't be forced to use Manilla if I would like to use a newer/faster ROM in the future.

Hi deechte
I think that this voting not necessary because both of TouchFlo 2D & 3D will dead when the new version of ThrottleLauncher 0.9.5 will release after a few days and I think that all cooker will add it or at lest release the rom without TouchFlo
follow up this thread to see what will be ThrottleLauncher 0.9.5

thx

I really dislike the direction that Manilla 2D/3D takes us. I looks stunning, but like you stated its terrible for us drivers. There is no way to use the phone in landscape with Manilla and it requires a lot of involvement to get where you want to be. HTC Home was elegant, simple point and click, and it worked in landscape also!

Thanks for that information. TL sure looks nice, and I see profiles passing by in that clip. However, it looks as complicated as Manilla to scroll to the tab you want, which indeed takes to much involvement while driving. But we'll see how it really works when it's released.
Btw, just another reason to have a clean ROM, so you can choose for HHP, Manilla or TL yourself.

I agree with deechte. If the ROM comes "clean" every user can install what's best for him/her (in example, I'm used to SPB mobile shell)

at least you will get more development, support and upgrade not "take it or leave it"

I partially agree with you because TouchFlo 2D & 3D needs more tweaks to work perfect which normal user can't do it by self

Ultimately, what I would love would be a custom version of Manilla (or even Throttle launcher) that would enable 2D/3D mode in portrait and then HTC Home (or whatever plug-in you prefer) in landscape.

I really like Manilla2D, I wanted 3D but it didn't work and I had to hard reset my phone by flashing a new (but updated at the same time) ROM to get it to work again.
I would love Manilla2D on any ROMs I get from now on.

You mean that it works better when it's cooked in the ROM?
Well, I don't mind if it's present, if I could just disable it and enable Htc Home.

sure you can disable it from Today screen and working as it not present at all in rom, and if you decide that you will not using it at all. you can delete or backup all Manila graphic picture from windows directory to free space in internal storage

[SOLVED] Best Kinetic Scrolling app?

Hello all,
I'm recently returning to touch screen WM devices after having a 6.1 smartphone for a few months.
I can't live without finger scrolling so i must ask, which is the best add on for finger scrolling? I used to use ftouchflo, it was ok, but it wasn't kinetic. Then i upgraded to ftouchsl, but it was quite buggy.
Now I see the touch diamond and touch pro/fuze as well as the lg incite with nice, built in kinetic scrolling. Is there any way to port such an add on to the Tilt? (The phone i'm using) or are there any good alternatives?
Thanks!

does anyone have any input on this or is this sub forum just dead?
I've tried all different types of add ons and i'm really just looking for some users' opinions.

it's christmas lol wait and see what people say later on today

I don't think there's anything better to use than the FtouchSL...

use HTC Touchflo instead of ftouchflo, or ftouchsl,. it have so many option anyway,.

I beleive that if you install TF2D found on the development and hacking forum it will include HTC Touchflo, which works great as far as I am concerned.

htc touchflo is far more superior than ftouchflo or ftouchfloSL. I have tried both on my Polaris. The kinetic scrilling in HTC is very good.

You have a HTC Tilt yes? If so, is touch scrolling enabled? (Settings->System->TouchFlo, if that doesn't exist, I suggest you flash a cooked ROM, most of which contain TouchFlo built in).

The only and big advantage ftouchflo/ftouchsl has over HTC touchflo is that it is cofigurable. while using the handwritten notes (I use PhatPad) the touch scrolling can be switched off while using ftouchSL/ftouchflo whereas it remains a pain in thw [email protected]# using it with HTC touchflo.

Thanks everyone. I had a hermes a couple months ago and when i put m2d on it, it didn't include touchflo for the whole system. Apparently it does now? I'll try an m2d rom on my tilt when it comes in a day or two and see what happens.

Manila 3D (TF3D) from HD

Thanks to our friends at modaco I can work towards a single cab fully works for Manila 3D from a HD (lighter and less dependency), to be installed on our TG01, still can not cook and should therefore seems necessary to be able to customize the interface at least, I hope you like!
I suggest also to instal opera 9.5 that you can find HERE

Why in rom development ?
It's in theme normally...

sorry, some mod can move thish thread? i can't delete

Moved...

works fine on UK Orange rom, quite fast as I've tried many TF3D, from 2.1 to 2.5, only thing missing is the calendar tab.

i've installed a wwe version on my tg01, works fine, but with basics functions:
Download
Download FTP

that works verry well can u edit touchflo sence cab the same way u did this 1 would be nice

Tried this, and worked perfectly . . .
but, and its a big but
When I came to uninstalling it, it got stuck on the uninstall screen for about 20 minutes, so I did a soft reset and the phone would no longer boot, so had to hard reset. Its the first time I have had to hard reset my phone.

Have you disable manila in today before unistal it?

Yep, I disabled it and switched back to the windows default home screen before I attempted to uninstall it. The only other thing I found didnt work is the album button on the photo viewer?

Home Hardware Button
Hi! I know this thread is REALLY old but...
I noticed you editted the Manilla build. The hardware home button works perfect on this! Other sense ROMs/Cabs dont have the home button working to take you back to the home tab. Can you tell uss how you did this? It would be VERY useful for us!
Thanks!

hello, is very old and can not remember exactly what I did...
but I think just will not work with the new sense relase
