HTC Touch Pro Help - General Topics

Hello, I got HTC Pro for Christmas, and I'm learning to love it. A few questions since this seems like a very populated forum.
Its with Alltel btw. When I use the touch flo screen to get to the program window, the one with the buttons. I can only add so many. I found a way to make new buttons with "+" signs, but when I click on the plus it brings me to the program list and when I select a program it doesn't get made into a new button. How do I change this?
On a related note, it won't let me delete the alltel buttons (alltel store, etc). Anyway around this?
Yeah.
Thanks! Any help would be apprechiated.

It's not for everyone's taste. It's kind of a love/hate thing with the cube. Some users are obsessed with it once they have it while others think it's a waste of resources. To each his own. . . But that's why we post this stuff so evryone can decide for themself.
Touch Flo cube is just a flash app?
Sorry for my ignorance, but Touch Flo cube is just a flash app?
If so, how can we configure it?
very nice idea, i doubt i will use it tho. looks good and is easy to set up...but its a bit naff

The HTC Touch Version uses dll's and other hardware/software stuff. IMHO the hardware isn't really key to the interface, just convenient on the actual TOUCH. I've run Wizards, the TMo Wing, an Apache and my Athena with TouchFlo ROMS and/or this flash app. Hardware handles it fine, just with a few small substitutions for not having the bottom area of the HTC Touch's screen available on these other devices.
This version of it is recreated as an Adobe Flash (tm) app. once you install FlashLite, the install the Szabi CubeLauncher you also get a CubeConfig in your programs folder. It is extremely intuitive once you install it and have a play with it. If you have further questions after getting that far, let me know I and I will try to assist you.

Thanks for testing and thanks for the reply.
can somebody explain the step to me?thanks
It works but I'd rather it be able to be launched right from "Today" straight away rather than having to launch the alternative flash "Today" first. Anyone able to do that? And I don't seem to be able to remap the "LaunchCube" to a hardware button
you can use THIS:

to map your finger move to open the cube.
Hi lyka,
I've tried it already. But i only managed to remap it to open the flash app from which I have to swipe UP again.
Plus, from my experience from using the Ftouchflo, it kinda screws up the sensitivity of stylus taps -> tap and hold doesn't work in some apps anymore, tapping became tap+move... stuff like that.
It's a great development and I have my utmost respect for Efrost though! Bravo to him!
TouchFLO
Yes, I'm playing with this one as well
Cheers,

There's another flash cube being worked on with the whole touchflo shebang in mind.

Today Screen - Am I being Stupid?

Hi there, I have attached a copy of what everyone says the screen looks like. Mine does not it is missing the whole of the top! Am i being stupid? How do I have it so that it looks as attached please?!?
Kind Regards,
Will
htc home. U have probably branded Polaris (ie o2 orbit2) search for htc home plugin
No I don't but thanks for such a quick reply.....
I bought the HTC non branded handset! I did not get it either..........
Kind Regards,
Will
Chech the Today menu for it, if it's not there do a Hard Reset...
If that still doesn't solve the problem you still can use the search option on the forum
Go to Start>Today>Items and tick HTC Home.
If your device is really HTC you should find it, otherwise you may have to go the "hard" way

Google Maps Tab

Anyone know of a way to get the Google Maps search tab back into TF3D (like the Manila2D tab from the Tilt)? Thanks
im wondering the same thing
i flashed romeos its not there either
MAPS TAB
I have been asking for a MAPS SEARCH TAB on Touchflow for weeks.
wouldn't be that hard to just jabe a tab and google maps to work... use a tab you don't like or don't use, change the two icons for it, in the manila for the tabs, change the link to externallink "googlemaps.lnk" and itll run google maps, but if you want it in tf3d... i can't help lol sorry

I was just reading the Wiki page. Under tips it shows a file to add tabs. Not sure if it can be done through the file but you may want to look there. I am looking to remove the AT&T tab...
Why not remap the PTT button...
I use the long press PTT button to get into Google Maps. There are links all over hte place on how to do it. Works great.

There never was a Google Maps tab in TF3D, so you can't "get it back" and currently nobody has created a workaround. So unless someone decides to take the task upon themselves to create a way to do it, then you're out of luck for now.
I seem to recall a Google Maps tab on one of early Manilla ROMS for the Kaiser. The tab had a input box to search for an address or business.
Why Not Use The Soft Key?
Since no one was able to fix you up as you wished, how about the option of allocating the right soft key in the home screen to Google Maps?
This can be done using DiamonTweak, section 14 of that useful app.
Good luck.
Thanks...I guess the answer is I can create a shortcut but I can't get the old Manila2D page unless someone writes it.
So, I can map it to PTT, long press of Phone or the home soft key but I'll probably either keep it on the programs tab or add it to the internet tab to launch gmaps (following these instructions: http://www.fuzemobility.com/?p=657).
My long and short press PTT's are already taken up, so it would be a huge help if someone could make this happen. I've seen others with custom tabs on the touch flo 3d, so I know its possible, I guess no one has got around to putting it together just yet.
From what I understand you'd have to cook it into the rom, I have no knowledge of this yet but give it some time.
Generalizing, I really thought it be sweet to add as many tabs to tf3d as you please, once my roommate returns from japan we may have to undertake this challenge.
if its possible...

HTC Touch Pro 2 - AT&T, Keyboard doesn't work correctly, CABfiles dont Open! -HELP!

HTC Touch Pro 2 - AT&T, Keyboard doesn't work correctly, CABfiles dont Open! -HELP!
Hi Guys. I Just recently bought a HTC Touch pro 2, specifically for AT&T yesterday. It was used, etc. It has windows mobile 6.5 pre-installed, but has MANY problems on it! When I pres the alt key, it goes on capslock. When I press the ok key, goes on Function key (For the numbers) But the numbers dont work, instead when i click on one of the numbers, it displays as a symbol. also, at the menu when I open my keyboard, it goes to a blackscreen giving the options of "action" or "Menu" and none of them work. When I try opening .cab files, it displays as: "There is no application associated with "whatever the name of the file" Run the application first, then open this file from within the application. Also, there is another "XML" file I get when trying to download a cab file.. and I open that in opera mobile but it doesnt work. My phone also crashes occassionally.. Please Help me! My main problem is my keyboard.. The function keys and other keys dont work at all how they are supposed. I am completely new to windows mobile, and have only been using it for a day. Before this, I had an iPhone 3G, running on 3.1.2. I may have to sell this phone, but I dont want to! Please reply ASAP!
Thanks!
[ I have not gotten a reply yet, please help me guys! ]

How do I restore the Block Recognizer

Hi all!
I have just updated my TP2 (Verizon) to WinMo 6.5. The Block Recognizer has disappeared. Verizon's response is a resounding "oh well".
I understand there is a registry entry that will restore the feature. Anyone have any ideas or solutions?
I am desprate, my fingers are too big for the on screen keyboards.
Thanks for advance.
Uncle Eric
Im guessing you also dont like using the slide out keyboard (which i am happily using to type this). I dont know the reg edit for the block recognizer but i can suggest 2 soft input panels u can try. One is Spb keyboard (not free) which has a much bigger onscreen keyboard. There is also my favorite solution for onscreen keyboards....Swype. Its free because it was pulled from the rom to another HTC phone and is compatible with the tp2. If u want the cab let me know. Do a google search to find out how it works. I believe it is a much more efficient way of typing onscreen. If ur not interested in the cab then maybe someone else can throw their hat in as far as the reg edit. Hope this helps.
Thanks for the response.
What I really want is the feature in WinMo 6.1 restored in 6.5. The Verizon Imagio has this feature, I guess, because of the lack of a keyboard.
I like the "Palm Grafitti" type input, I have been using it since the first Palm device shipped, before WinMo or Windows CE even existed.
I am told there is a registry entry to fix all this, maybe I need to find an Imagio and look at its registry. I do know it is not just a 1 or 0, its one of those long {xxx-xxx} type entries.
Thanks again for the suggestion, but it does not work for me.

htc has a hotfix for this "HotFix RHo09076". it is on the htc site. it reinstalls the block recognizer and transcriber.

This hotfix does NOT work for the Verizon phones; I'm unsure for others.
I do know that all verizon did was disable the registry value for a few of the SIP(block recognizer and transcriber) and left all the dependent files alone(dll's, registry entries, etc.).
If you're comfortable with a regedit then here's what you'll need to do:
Letter Recognizer
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{42429690-ae04-11d0-a4f8-00aa00a749b9}\IsSipInputMethod
"Default"="1" – Enabled
"Default"="0" - Disabled
Block Recognizer
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{42429691-ae04-11d0-a4f8-00aa00a749b9}\IsSipInputMethod
"Default"="1" – Enabled
"Default"="0" – Disabled
Transcriber
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{F0034DD0-2AD4-11d1-9CB0-E84BE8000000}\IsSipInputMethod
"Default"="1" – Enabled
"Default"="0" - Disabled
it worked for my verizon tp2 with update to stock wm6.5
I found the registry entries and made the changes.
Unfortunately, this does not make the block recoginizer selectable.
On the menu that selects the keyboard, etc, there should be a selection "other input methods", after selecting that menu, the menu to select "block recognizer " appears.
I suspect there is another step here to add the "other input methods" or "block recognizer" to the selection menu.
The menu is located by pressing the up carret that is next to the keyboard icon.
Thanks

I found the Block/Letter Recognizer hotfix. It was on HTC's UK site. Can't post links yet, but it's at:
htc.com/uk/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=822&news_id=435
Problem was, when I went to install it I got an "unsupported device" error. So I edited the XML and made a CAB.
Hope this helps people out, I spent the better part of an afternoon looking for a fix and couldn't find one.

ScottSNX - you are a LIFESAVER... I thought I was losing my mind - because I know when I was in the verizon store I saw the block recognizer on the htc imagio and a friend of mine had the touch pro2 (but maybe windows 6.1) and it was there - which is one of the reasons I bought this device. I was pulling my hair out trying to find a solutions - thank God I came upon your post... This definitely works.. it literally took me 1 minute to download and it installed and worked in 30 seconds. I can't thank you enough!!!
Thanks ScottSNX
I completely agree. Thanks ScottSNX!
Hi. I have HTC touch 2 (mega). I have tried ScottSNX posted htc touch pro2_rho09076.cab
on my device. Now, I can choose block recognizer, but it doesn't work. Any help for me, please

Glad I could help. Finally decided to register just cause I knew there must be other people spending hours on something so simple.

Are you using a custom rom or have you upgraded to the new Sprint rom that HTC released a week or two ago?
Will this work for the Sprint Touch Pro 2?
Thankx for the HD2 Fix

Your .cab file did the job for my HD2. Dude, you rule!
Awesome
Thanks ScottSNX my block recognizer is up & running. Great work!
It works.
My Tmobile TP2 does not have this issue. A friend got one from Verizon and I "fixed" it with the .cab file.
Thanks ScottSNX!

Thanks for the fix. Believe me I'm glad someone did this, I'm lost without my block text!
Only, now, I need someone to walk this old man through how to install it.
I've downloaded it to my PC and tried to copy it to the phone. Won't copy.
I've downloaded it using my phone but when I open the folder I saved to, no file.
I'm sure it's simple but if you don't know how, it's frustrating.
Thanks again.
Works great
I installed and it works great. Now I can take notes again. Was a little rough using the board. Thanks for all the effort

Bump!
(Version MR1 just installed)
Have you connected your phone and computer (USB) using Microsoft ActiveSync? Find in the ActiveSync window the Explore utility...should be one of three selections available in a toolbar just below the standard File/Edit/View... toolbar.
Select Explore...and you'll see a typical Explorer view of your phone and its files.
Now, you can drag and drop the .cab file, for example.
Go now to your phone file explorer, find the .cab file...and run it. Voila!
My only question now, is -- I seem to recall that there was an on-screen keyboard with smaller keys than any of the keyboards now available. Is this another "enhancement" in 6.5.
Many thanks to Scott...on behalf of all of us (both of us? -- tee hee) who use the stylus for something other than just tapping. Letter and block recognition is awesome. If you haven't tried it in a while, I urge you to do so...it has come a long way!
