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.
Does anyone know, or think they know what will be the differences in these two operating systems installed on a HTC device. We see from pictures that the UI in 6.5 has something like a zune type thing, then that hexagon pattern. But for most 6.1 users they don't really have to leave Touch Flo. In fact, HTC even redesigned the calendar on the TP2. So what does everyone think?
If you're using manila, the most obvious difference will be the start menu. Also, 6.5 has a native finger scrolling which is better than the htc scrolling in 6.1. Newer builds have improved task and soft key bars and some different menu enhancements. Also, 6.5 has a more advanced virtual memory model than 6.1; this may well be the biggest advancement, although it's very much 'under the hood'. You only get it on the newer devices that have native 6.5 kernels available.

Well if it has enhanced virtual memory It should run faster, no? When I played with the 6.1 in the tmobile store, it was fast. My touch diamond is pretty slow. I wonder what HTC is going to do for 6.5. I heard they sent out test roms to sprint. for the tp2 udpate has anyone tried it?
i cant see no difference in start menu... my touch pro2 uses manila start menu.. not WM's...
this is a good thread to discuss.. i dont have any strong reason for me to change to wm6.5 ... the future manila will use fully manila skinned even in 'All Settings' menu.. i just hope wm6.5 can improve the background graphic on PPC with integrated supported drivers.. it just my imagination
Hi
Thanks for reading this.
I would like to know, how do I can disable TouchFlo 3D in HTC Diamond 2 with Windows Mobile 6.5 to be abble to use te original WM 6.5?
I'm asking this because the "theme", interface, that was presenting by the Microsoft about the WM 6.5 is totally different.
I've seen in many sites, HTC Diamond 2 with WM 6.5 using some different "kind of theme" from the OS!
Once again, thanks for the help!!
Goto Settings->Home, under Items uncheck TouchFlo and check Windows Default.
You might want to also look into flashing a non TouchFlo ROM:

New dialer from HTC has that function...
hmmm, perfect ROM...
I want WinMo6.5 with old gui,
much free RAM (20MB+),
with Chome editor, secondtoday, homescreen++, network wizard, HTC home plugin, MS office, HTC Audio Manager, HTC Album....,
without manilla
wm 6.5.X + manila 2d
wm 6.5.X + manila 2d
I want a Windows Mobile 6.1 ROM with the following:
1. MS Office, Internet Explorer, calculator, etc. (the stuff you kind of assume comes with Windows Mobile)
2. Touch scrolling (I don't know if that's normally part of 6.1 or not...)
3. Some kind of connection setup wizard with T-Mobile for the US as an option
4. The HTC task manager would also be nice, but optional
5. My primary language is English, so I would prefer an English ROM
So I pretty much just want a pretty clean WM6.1 ROM... I feel like something like this should exist, but I haven't really been satisfied by any ROM I have tried so far. Does anyone know of one like this that already exists?
EDIT (this is for a future post because I don't want to take this off topic more): Thanks LivArt; I hadn't tried his yet. The included programs he listed always looked further from clean than I was hoping for. I finally flashed it and it's pretty good.
exhno: cracings last 6.1
I want a WM6.5 New GUI. like Cracing's ROM without Manila 2D.

New GUI is good. Like manilla 2.5
What I want in a ROM
a) Stable. Most ROMs nowadays are stable, but I remember when they crashed a lot.
b) Enough free RAM to run programs, without having to reboot. I really like the latest CRACING rom, except that there are several programs that won't launch unless I've just rebooted.
c) Fast. For our poor Wizard, that usually means overclocking support. So build in TodayScreen++ or some other overclocker. And make it fast even without overclocking.
d) Finished. Don't give me dead links, like on the Internet panel of M2D. Don't leave out camera or MMS either. Naked is okay, but what is in the rom needs to be complete, and seem not like a work in progress.
e) Some things just work better when in a ROM, like M2D and Office. Put those in, whether I use them or not.
f) Anything that would run fine in Storage Card, or anything that is being actively developed so that new versions are coming out, keep those OUT of the rom.
Of the roms available on these forums, I like the following quite a bit.
This isn't ordered: I have a hard time picking a favorite. Don't believe my signature: I'm running RoryB's latest rom today.
S.V.I. / RoryB's Angel series: best 6.1 complete
CRACING's CR96 Touch HD series: best 6.5 complete
xda2_haseeb: some awesome 6.5 roms, looking forward to the New Year
md_bluelily's MSD series: best 6.5 naked
Any of the "alpha" roms by Ham3r: awesome 6.5 and best 6.1 naked rom.
In terms of home screens:
Chome is nice but a bit too minimal, and disables the old plugins.
M2D is beautiful and functional but takes too much ram, disables old plugins.
HTC Home is simple, good enough, works with plugins.
SPB 3.5 is best, fully functional, less ram than M2D, works with plugins.
But you can't put SPB in your rom (it's commercial).
So I'd vote for (in order) HTC Home, CHome, M2D.
Which OS?
I like it fingerfriendly so I would prefer WM6.5.x (with new style GUI).
Which TodayScreen?
M2D looks good but needs a lot of packages (and space) in the kitchen. It also eats up a way to much RAM. If you want other features with M2D you can not use additional today-plugins and last but not least our wizard has a slide-out keyboard and even the new M2D 2.0 has no real landscape-mode.
CHome does not need so much RAM, it has a landsacape-mode and there are already quit a lot of extra plugins. But you need special CHome-plugins and you cannot use normal today-plugins, it does not look good and the features and the controll are just to minimal.
HTC-Home is quit old but it works in landscape, needs only very little RAM and you can still run other today-plugins (like calendar+). It has no slide-effects but still is extremly fingerfriendly.
For me HTC Home (with calendar+) is still the best!
Which additional Software?
With HTC Home you don't need CHome Editor or M2DC. I don't even use HTC Home Config.
With WM6.5.x (without M2D) you also don't need extra touchflo stuff.
Important software:
- Total Commander
- WM5torage
- calendar+
- HTC Album (2.x works much better than 3.x!)
- a good text editor (more important than all the Office stuff)
- I would also add a Midlet-Manager like Esmertec Jbed
I also use TomTom and S2U2 but I would not include them in my ROM.
Last but not least I want a german ROM so I cooked my SKYNET ROM!
I pretty much agree, but I use Office for work stuff, believe it or not.
Oh, and I need a rom in English.
6.5 with new GUI
Try Bluelilly's or X2H's
Omnia 2 has some great apps. I'd like to run some of them on my XPERIA on WinMo 6.5, but of course they only work on WinMo 6.1. Does anyone know how to get them to work on 6.5 (is it a hex edit?), or better yet does anyone have pre-modded CABs?
I'm especially interested in the icon bar (for the top of the screen, like is standard in 6.5.3), and Touch Player, and maybe the Home screen.
Thanks
