TouchFLO-Once closed, It wont Re-Open unless I reboot phone. Any ideas?

Hey guys
New to TouchFlo - got it installed yesterday.
Having an issue though.
When I open it, by clicking the taskbar button, or in Start, it opens up.
When i want to go back to Today screen, I swipe up on it to toss it away, or even if i hold the right taskbar button to close it, it goes away.
If i try to access it again, nothing happens. screen stays on Today, but is not functional unless i press the END key, as if an invisible FLO is over the screen
Whats up here?
here is what i flashed yesterday
T-Mobile 2.26 ROM : MDA_software_update_226102_22610105_022511.exe
T-Mobile-UK_2.19.11_Radinly
NBD.v7.9
running old AT&T blue network on 8125
installed apps:
A_C Slide2Unlock
Xplore Keyboard
Today Agenda
Pocket Alarm
Nyx Password
Device Lock
Contact Manager
MhoairSofa Calendar+ Today Plugin
BatteryStatus (using this to overclock to 260mhz.)
PocketSoft ToggleBT
I had the iphone phonepad and stuff installed, but i couldnt figure out how to switch back to the Today screen without clicking SETTINGS, and still having iphone running. it was slow and laggy. any way around this?
thanks

I had same issue, only solution for me, was to stop using TouchFlo

Touchflo will only pull itself up the first time period...
Afterwards when you push the button to access it, it will appear nothing will happen... however if you swipe your finger as if you were turning the cube, it will infact go to the next page..... try it out

that is stupid!
any hopes of a fix?

The various versions of touchflo on wizard require you to press a button before getting touch to work. Depending on the ROM, this could be button 4 or left softkey.
HTC Tocuh has a video of Touch phone on their website. I see that even here, a button is pressed every time the touch features are accessed. This may be a feature of touch itself, rather than a bug in the way touchflo works on wizard.

if you realy need the cube working 100% buy a touch

Need help figuring out which ROM/dialer I was using...

Hey all,
I need some help. Like a dummy I flashed my phone yesterday for the first time in a long while. I've been using a ROM that I believe stated something about being the only one actually compatible with the Wizard (something about not turning the screen back on when plugging in the wall power charger).
Anyway, my real question is that I'm trying to find out what dialer it was using. From what I remember it was an all black dialer with red end button and green call button. When the phone was not in a call it would allow you to scroll up and down in the call history within the dialer (not bringing up the seperate call history). It also allowed you to start entering a number and it would suggest from the contacts and call history as you type (which most do now anyway). I would really like to find a way to get that dialer back and put it in my current ROM (the Wing port named boring rom for T-Mobile). I appreciate any help!
Thanks!

Ok, so I guess it's the default one that comes with most ROMs, what I need to know is how can I get it to replace the one in the Boring Rom (light blue currently)?

You have to turn off the phone skin
You can do some search about this and find out how(open registry using a registry editor Go to HKLM\Security\Phone\Skin and make the Enabled Value 0)
Load a ROM which will not have the Touch dialer like TNT which I'm using right now

hmm, so it's just a skin and the default is the black one? I tried making that key 0 but when I reset it is back to being 1... Is there something I'm doing wrong? I'm using PHM Registry Editor...
Thanks again!

After changing the key to 0 use any software to reset the phone not the stylus
You can use psShutXp

Stylus is OK, just wait for at least 30 seconds after changing the values.

[PROB] Volume buttons not working

Hello,
I noticed that since I took the TP from the Box the volume buttons are not working as they should... it shows the volume screen and also move (like arrow key)
Someone experienced this?
I was searching google but could not find any solution or similar problem

i dont understand. sounds like it is working

I have applied a few tweaks from this forum and now when I press a volume button, either one, it brings up the volume screen as expected, but on a second press, of either button, the volume screen disappears and the volume does not change. Not sure if this is what you are seeing.

Same problem in my TP

This is exactly what I mean... It just show the screan but does not work. And it is since I took it out of the box... It might be possible it is bacause the Czech localization program which is not on English TPs...
If you experience this problem, do you have some special localization for keyboard?

I am having the same problem as well with my Sprint Touch Pro. Clicking either volume button once brings up the volume screen and I have to use my finger to adjust volume on the screen. Holding either volume button does not raise or lower the volume. Doing so exits the volume control screen (and then quickly brings it up again). It almost seems like it's trying to scroll in whatever program is active.

Has anyone figured out what might be causing this?

problem resolved in my case

I had the same problem, but I found the solution ... at least is is working for me now ...
I start to think your way ... since I am also using localization ... InterWrite 9.5
I changed some things (at least those that I remembered that I changed before). Than InterWrite asked for soft reset ... I did it and now it works.
Try to change some settings ... I disallowed support hardware keyboard (I think this was the most important) and some other settings. If it's not working for you and you use the same localization soft, write here and we can go through every tab of InterWrite and do the same settings.

AlPachino, you are genius... it was enough to swith the "Hardware Keyborad" in the Interwrite and now it works... I think we should report this bug to SW developer of that soft...

done already

I'm also having this problem, but I don't know what InterWrite is (pretty sure i'm not using it).
Is there somewhere in the registry to reassign these buttons back to their intended purposes? I assume some people have remapped them to be UP/Down scrolling, so we probably know where the registry settings are.

yeah, I took the easy way out by flashing a new ROM. I'd still love to hear the solution, but for now that has (obviously) fixed the issue for me.

I did a backup, then hard-reset, and that cured the problem.
I'm running the elite ROM right now, so it's not the ROM, it has to be one of the programs I added. So, I'm going to add them in 1 at a time and see who the guilty party is.
Edit: I put them all back in, and it now works fine. I tried replicating all the registry tweaks I had used and it still works... so I don't know what the answer is to why it was broken in the first place.

Same issue with me .
Used a hebrew localization, however, I hard resetted and re-installed and it seemed to be working fine. Now it is broken again just as you guys describe.
If anyone could find the reason or the hidden registry key, I'd be very grateful.

Happened to me too.
Did any of you have Diamond Tweaks installed? I noticed it on mine after this install. I know it has some tweaks in it for remapping scrolling. I've since hard reset, and installed everything except Diamond Tweaks. The button is still working as expected.

Fring is also a problem
I figured out that when I load Fring on mine the volume keys fail to work. I didn't have the problem on my Diamond so I'm guessing it's something to do with the (stock) ROM on the TP.
ROM: 1.90.405.1 WWE 08/01/08
Radio: 1.02.25.19
Protocol: 52.33.25.17U

None. In fact, it is one of the reasons I reset in the first place.
The latest thing I installed was "Startup service" but I don't see what does it have to do with it. I'll try to go to one of my recent backups and check.
Luckily I backup almost daily now (hard reset was a *****).

Just letting you guys know. So far found 2 programs that cause this behavior for me:
P.D.A.C Hebrew localization (talked to their support and they confirm the problem)
FDC Start Menu - http://www.dotfred.net/FdcStartMenu.htm
Real shame for both because I need hebrew and I liked FDC Start Menu a lot.

S2U2 1.35 will cause this problem, if you uninstall it you will be fine.. I think this should e fxed in the ne ver.

Help! ( Touch Pro 2, home screen reversion )

Hey all,
First, I'd like to say that so far the Touch Pro 2 is freaking awesome, but It's been doing something since I got it that is driving me up the wall;
So, say I'm in gsplayer or Opera, and for whatever reason, the screen turns off ( I hit the power button, it times out for power conservation, whatever... ). Whenever I turn the screen back on, the Clock in Touch Flow 3D shows up. GAH >_<
Is there any way to just open the phone back up to what I was looking at when the screen turned off? Help me XDA-Developers, you're my only hope!
-AceSmythe

update:
I went to the home configuration and disabled TouchFlo 3D , and it doesn't revert to the home screen when I reset
Does anyone know how to tell TouchFlo 3D to not re-assert itself every time I turn the screen on? I didn't see anything obvious in the registery
Thanks,
AceSmythe

I have a Touch Diamond 2 and i don't have this problem..
When i just hit the power button to turn the screen off, and 1 minute later when i turn it back on, everything is still the same as i left it. All the programs are still opened.
Maybe you hit the right 'hang up' key?? Because when you press it you go back to the homescreen

I'm pretty sure I know the difference between the power button at the top of the device and the hang up button near the bottom, thanks.
Anyone around who actually has a Touch Pro 2?

I have this issue with my Blackstone, using Duttys 3.9.
I have seen this issue before and as far as i have found out there is no soution to this. The only thing that could help is turning off the Msofts LOCK app. Unfortunately mine is on due to exchange security policy.
If your lock is not on, then im afraid i dont know

What does that app do and how would I turn it off?

I also went into the registry and disabled the Home tab for TouchFlo 3D, but the issue persists
( registry entry HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\Configuration\0\Enable , set to 0 )
To any who are curious, this appears to be a viable method of removing Home, Programs, and Settings from the TouchFlo 3D tabs. On my device, 0 is Home, 2 is Programs, and 12 is settings
On another note that's completely unrelated, don't install the SRSwow control panel if you don't have drivers/hardware for it. It completely crippled the speakers and mic on the phone, and Voice Command ( voicecommand.exe ) freaked out whenever I tried to start it. Luckily, removing the software through Start -> Settings -> System -> Remove Programs and doing a full reset fixed everything
( above 2 paragraphs included for people Googling either issue )
Anyway, back to the home screen thing... any other thoughts?

If you are using the lock app (which locks the screen) you can turn it off/on by going to (on my HD) settings/all settings/personal/lock and disable it if enabled.
It may not help you, but is a known issue regarding this particular problem.

Have you unchecked the today timeout?
Go to Settings/Personal/Today/Items and make sure it's unchecked.

Yes and makes no difference, but cheers for the idea.

Yeah, that was the first thing I tried aswell
** Warning **
Do not install the TouchFlo Detacher, it WILL break TouchFlo on your system
See http://freewareppc.com/utilities/touchflodetacher.shtml , then avoid it like the plauge
-AceSmythe

Sorry for the lateness of this post, after a full wipe and reinstall of everything ( after the TouchFlo 3D disaster mentioned above ) the home screen does not assert itself anymore. Per suggestion, I did not enable the lock. I'd test turning on the lock and off again, but I don't want to push my luck
Thanks one and all

Mod Edit : No probelms, but no need for the final comment, so I have removed it

Now what would really solve this if you could check the registery to find the key responsible. I will have a look at mine in depth but i fear i will not find it.
Cheers.

I've been all up and down that thing and either I'm just ignorant of some term that I should be looking for or there's just no entry for it
Maybe someone could write an app to fix it or a replacement locking app

Taskbar customization and volume manager

I finally customized my mega the way I wanted it to be when I initially bought it. I'm also running a 6.5.5 rom. Unfortunately I still have some issues with it and I was wondering if someone knew anything about them. First of them is if it would be possible to remove the start soft key in the bottom left corner of the screen. That would be nice since the mega already has a hardware start key and the one on the screen becomes redundant. It would be nice if we would just have two soft keys in the bottom corners
Also, I looked for a solution for the ugly volume manager in these last builds but couldn't really find one. I tried other volume managers like setvolume but that one is buggy even with answering phone calls. I find that unacceptable because most of all, it's a phone. So maybe if we could restore the default one or use another one without so many bugs that would be great. I saw somewhere that a solution was already available but for vga phones. Maybe that could be ported to qvga

I am with you on this. Would love to see these fixes.

I need theses fixes too!!! WM 6.5.5 has bad interface...
Why does the volume control must be so fat and ugly??
The most important thing is volume control in the youtube app sucks!
I wish someone can fix the volume control to use back the original HTC one.

Erm ok, the problem is even when the default HTC Volume control is implemented in the ROM, for some reason WM 6.5.5 overwrites that. I tried a few times. I think that sucks cos I'm a student , and my phone needs to be on silent. But the new volume control can be activated on the lockscreen so I'm afraid it would turn silent off. Any suggestions for this?

There's a nice app called SetVolume that does the trick quite nicely. Also, there's a cab that can remove the start button. I lost the cab but there's a registry tweak that does the job. You can search for it.
