how very nice a new chef. So little has been happening in this forum lately I'll try this in the weekend and write my impressions
thx man!

Have just tested your rom in one day.
The common impression is fast, stable, good look.
But there are still some problems need to solve:
- Camera doesn't work - most important thing
- Lack of options to control and change user interface ...
- Lack of some basic software (not important)
I'm testing. I'll feedback more later.
Totally, you did a great work. Pls, try to continue

I just tested your rom and it was great but i found out some bugs:
- QuickGPS did not work
- Camera won,t start
keep up the good work

working on issues
need little more information about options to control and change user interface
and wanted basic software

i'd rather install my own basic software if possible. I prefer a stock os.
Also i have found the menus seem very huge unlike wm6.1
But thnxs for the os, using it atm.

for making menus smaller take a look at
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=511759
post number 5
here is copy pasted:
Use Advanced Config and change the Popup menu font size under User Interface.
I change mine from Large to Custom 800

Thnxs that did the trick.

Function key on keyboard does not work, therefore if im typing an email and want to use the '@' key i can't (and all the other keys the function gives).
The onscreen keyboard is not in center when opened. (half of it is chopped off)
Also i can't seem to find voip. Were is it?

do a soft reset or change input method to another then get back to touch input the key board must fit on correct position
voip didn't cooked on this build (i'll put it on the next build)
don't know about fn key right now,will work on it

anything new?

yes after some time storage card can not be found on media player

Could you upload the xip.bin you used? Did you use the one from this post?

yes
i've used that xip

Camera fixed
see this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=601528

great camera working

Great news

please fix some more problems:
- QuickGPS and Voice Recorder can't start
- Image in Home Menu can't load pictures from flashdisk

wizard reTOUCHed 5.2.1413 with Touchflo-cube FINAL

Due to the many request:
wizard reTOUCHed FINAL
[size=+2]FINAL[/size]
There will be no more updates on this 5.2.1413 ROM, My goal is achieved: packages are ready to use in other kitchens.
-HTC Camera
-Pocket MSN
-esmertec Java
-battery status
-pocket RAR/ZIP
-registry editor, taskmanager
-Total Commander
And of course all the TOUCH files
The Cube is invoked by the voicedial button.
-Slide Finger UP the first time to invoke
-Slide finger up in order to hide
-slide finger from side to side, the next time you want to invoke.
The known bug(s):
-OK/X button
FIX: use the re-alignment settings as shown in this post)
Or you could try the reg file in touch.zip attached in this post
-No mms
FIX: use the Asukal mms cab from here to install MMS features. (don't install the pocket MSN, it's already integrated)
-No icon for zip-file
FIX: install the reg in the zipicon.zip archive.
-while editing today screen, it could freeze up.
FIX: install the reg in today-set-freeze-fix.zip
-`Maybe a bug': Bluetooth headsets fail with some users, they do pair, but don't function! Others report it being fully functional.
Not a bug, but a feature: there are only Dutch and Belgium city's available in the today-weather app.
Replace the HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml with your own..
[size=+2]NEWER OEM Packages used for the Build of Beta V2b[/size]
Here are the OEM Packages For Touchflo.
Note:
---> in order to use the packages, you will need to delete some files and modules from the Kitchen <---
--->So this is NOT plug and play<---
Use duplicate file finder (freeware) and add some extra filters for mui, lnk and dat.
Then you still have to remove the modules.
The OEMAPPS package still contain files not belonging there, so some could be moved to a new package, however, it's sanitized the best I could (regarding the time I've had)
I have tested these packages only as a complete unit, not the separate packages!
-So the problem could occur that a stand-alone package would not work.
DOWNLOAD THE NEW V2B PACKAGES HERE
[size=+2]FIX YOUR BUTTONS WITH THE FOLLOWING SCREEN ALIGNMENT:[/size]
Alling your touchscreen as shown in attached image.
This will fix all of the button problems.
Or you could try the touch.reg in the touch.zip (these are my alignment settings, could work, could fail, if it fails retry aligning according my instructions)
wow, i almost fell outta my chair when i saw this!
downloading now, will flash later
thanks
awesome, just downloaded it..... going to flash it now. wewt!
This is why XDA pwns...
why can't i invoke the cube?

verify under settings/buttons that button 4 is set for the cube function.
Once you press button 4, release it, then slide your finger from left to right.
Once it starts rotating screens, to exit back to the "home" page, go from bottom to top.
I haven't tried the rom directly, but this was the function in the French rom.
would this work for hermes too?

the splash screen's nice, but after i flashed the first time, button 4 was empty and it wasn't in the button settings' drop down menu.
after second flash, it works and it's SOOOO COOOL! i didn't go to the button settings thing at all for fear of it being empty again and then me pressing ok and then losing it forever like the first time i flashed.
lots of fun to try, thanks!
edit:
i went to button settings again and lost it once again. i clicked buttons (in settings), saw that button 4 was empty (after cube had just worked) and had to press ok to get out of it and now i can't find it (nor use it). other than that, it's cool.
Hi Dave,
what does that rom include? only the cube part what about the flicker browsing?. . .hehehe that's what i wanna have in my wizard.
hope the community can work on this . . . no doubt in that!

so the action of going to settings-buttons removes the entry? Hmmm... I wonder, even though the registry is specifying the application for the button when it's opened, when the button control is invoked - it doesn't match to a predefined list and thus removes it. Once it's open, it has overwritten the registry... just thinking out loud...
yep, you got it. meanwhile (after flash #3 in the past hour), i'm going to have fun with this and not even think about touching the "buttons" icon in settings until someone who knows how to deal with it can fix it.
i haven't been looking but the only french of the today screen is the htc audio plugin when it displays the "tap here to play songs.." or something.

if you see any others, can you post them? It'd help narrow down where the last of the "translation" is needed. (sarcastic jokes ommitted )
ok, the keyboard is not qwerty. i must flash to something else for now. that cube rocks though.
edit: whatever, i can handle azerty for a day if i can mess with the cube...
i love it but the only prob is that my keyboard imput is kinda messed ie if i hit the "w" key it makes a z and vice verca lol can anyone tell me how to fix this?
or is there a keyborad cab file??
no start menu clicks
can't set any homepage in pie (after i say, use current and then click ok, it's still blank; when i click "home" it goes to nothing).
edge works
wifi works
orb works
ok, i'm going to flash to something else now. thanks.
Hi guys and galls,
Have been working on OEM packages, in order to use these things in other kitchens/ROM's.
So a touchflo rom will be possible from a kitchen of your choice.
Thanks for the feedback. Much appreciated.
The azerty keyboard is a pain, I know.
But I will be able to import my packages to a clean, WWE kitchen, so a lot of junk will be lost.
@ davefan, only 3 times?
Must be a fluke, I didn't have that problem.
I have flashed so often this weekend I lost count, have switched batteries a lot of times (thank god for the desktop turbo charger). Also glad I had a sd backup, because at a given time the phone was protesting a lot, didn't even wanted to be flashed in bootloader..
man, you don't sleep to much, don't you
needless to say how much your work is appreciated...
rgs,
pirlone
thanks for great efforts
testing just to have a look
about the cleartype enabling:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\CLEARTYPE]
@=""
my windows live wont let me sign on because i "dont have an internet connection" but my wifi is connected. and i dont have data just wifi can anyone help me here? or tell me how to un-install it??

Requests to Laurentius26/Beast...

Hi,
I'm currently using your latest rom, and its great in terms of stability and overall features it contains. I had a small request which i thought i'd post, and decided to make a separate thread so that ppl can drop all their requests too, so here goes!
And now for my request -
It would be great if you could add PQz II into the default rom. Its a small app to enable control/alt key combos with a lot of other features for phone shortcuts, button shortcuts etc. Its freeware too! You can find it at www.nicque.com/pqz
if you could make the following customizations so that pqz starts this way by default, thats an added bonus -
1. Has the path to the "icon" bitmap (by default, its just a white blotch until you specify an icon in the default installation. the icon comes within the package though)
2. Set default keys to the SYM key for control and alt.
3. Make PQz start at windows bootup by default by adding a link in the registry
Cheers and I appreciate the great work!
San

Hi,
I will see what it does and try today

I tried it already because sometimes I miss ctrl and alt.

Hi,
Which keys do you set for ctrl and alt, cause they aren't on keyboard?
Fn + Tab maybe?
Also how to set a icon for the today I don't know?
Can the icon in upper tray moved to bottum tray?
2 many questions haha...

I tried the app but quited after some minutes because I couldn't find a way to get it working, lol
Nevertheless if working, it could be a good improvement.

with all do respect, PQz suck.
it really messes up the keyboard control for other programs, such as games for example...
if you really need it, install it. it only takes a couple of seconds and a couple of lousy KBs, if i remember correctly.
Rom devs can't include apps everytime users have a spacial request. That's what kitchens are for...

Normally, we set the "SYM" key for both Control & alt. This way, you press sym once, its control (shows on the icon, once set!), press it again it becomes alt. Its soooooo useful, i cant tell you.....you must try it!
i use it extensively, to do control+c, cntrl+v, blah!
The icon should be on top, so that it shows what you've pressed (control or alt).
The cooler part is the other sub-modules it has such as phone shortcuts, app shortcuts, system shortcuts etc. For example, i can set shortcuts such as alt+Alphabet for speed dials for all my contacts. No matter what application you're currently using, just hit Alt+S to dial a contact for instance, or even fire an application!
I also use, Alt+X to close current app, alt+0 to close all apps....really useful!
Try it out for a while, you cant live without it!
Cheers!

Can you add these files to Windows\ directory?
If you could add these to \Windows directory, it would be great! It changes the basic "Open/select file" dialog to browse through folders in a standard windows way rather than scanning through all folders and showing it as one single list!
It overrides this dialog at all places. For instance, when you try and add an attachment to your email, it shows standard folders for you to navigate and pick the right file, rather than making one giant list of all files on all folders!
San
EDIT: There's a small bug in wm6, the softkey labels are not shown though (not a big deal as long as you know what they are!) . The left softkey is "Up" one folder, and right softkey is for "Menu" when the open file dialog is active. Make sure you activate it under Settings->System->FileDialog and check the option in there!

PQZ
Hi San,
I will have another look and tell you what I think of it later.
Greetings,
Leo
how about the ability to call the last dialled number? can that be added? and maybe not including the latest task manager 2.0 as that has problems with the closing of apps.... maybe the earlier version 1.5?
PQZ
Well... I tested a bit.
But it does screw up other functionings.
Also the today icon I don't like, I only see a white square in top bar
Did you try HandyMenu or AEButton, they have same function's but much easier. For copy\paste I use Pnotepad.
Sorry...

Leo

The WiFi problems are fixed now!
Can you pleeeease solve the Bluetooth Stereo problems ASAP.
I think I already flash my Universal with all existing ROMs, but I believe none as A2DP and WiFi WPA fully working.
can i suggest to try rlToday? It's a very nice Home/today plugin. Working with VGA and completely skinnable.

good job. Link organization is the last thing I do when cooking. I get all the apps in, work on the bugs and then...the links.
First impression.
First impression: very nice. Fast, responsive - love the green color.
I'm not a fan of HTC Home - few sec after flashing it was gone (replaced with pointui 2.0).
I'm also more accustomed to X closing programs then using QuickMenu, though I must say it's quite nice.
Apps choice is not bad but I'd include also:
1.TouchResponse
2.Opera/Skyfire
3.FingerMenu
Imho those are basics but what do I know
Sorry Sent in error
Report sor far
Flashed 1st time no probs
home screen looks nice network is ok connected to wireless ok,GPS connected first time menu bar could do with being a bit larger tried everything in PROGRAMS and SETTINGS and everything worked a ok
Rom seems nice and fast will give it a good going over now and install a few new programs see how it gets on, laters

Tried adding opera but sadly creates a registry editor that won't allow the device to get past the carrier splash was thinking about touchresponse but might annoy the the hell out of others never heard of fingermenu will take a look
fingermenu looks quite nice its also quite similar to TF3D lol I'll try it
guys is the camera working?
nope - black screen and the whole camera app is lagging
I knew it just cooked another one with the camera shipped with the kaiser about to finish setting up the device

[App- mod] My little QuickMenu-modification

(Updated with a version that shows a little horizontal line on the taskbar. One can now easily move the "activation area". See attached image titled "v2".
This will work on all WM versions:
Note for WM 6.5.x users: the activation area can not be placed on the clock!
Note for WM 6.5 users: setting the offset of the first setting on the option/view tab to 393 will place the horizontal line above the battery)
Note: after installation you have to start Quickmenu manually (/Program Files/QMenu/Quickmenu.exe). Another option is to do a softreset (Quickmenu is set up to start automatically after a softreset.
-----
For users familiar with Nanlings Quickmenu (QM):
I've substituted the icons in quickmenu with transparant icons so you can place the "Q button" on the taskbar where ever you like. I've made a cab installation file that will also modify the registry entry for quickmenu in such a way that
a) the transparant Q-button is placed exactly on the battery icon of the WM 6.5.3 taskbar (setted the offset of the Q pic to 371). Very nice for one-handed operation with your right hand.
b) the running tasks are placed by default in the root of the QM-menu. This transforms QM basically in a sophisticated taskmanager. I like that more.
I thought is was wortwhile to share these modifications. Just check it out, maybe you like it.
For users not familiar with Quickmenu I like to refer to this thread There you can grab the unmodified program that will work on all WM version (including WM 6.5.3 and 6.5.5)
And...
Instructions about how you can make this work on a rom with a different language can be found here. (Problem is that when you run the program on a rom with a different language code you then 0409, which is the code for WWE-roms, you get unreadable characters)
finally! can't express how thankfull I am!

Don't know yet.
Works great on artemis-FR (just need to rename mui in programfiles and we have it in english)
BTW, is there more mui with Quickmenu to have it in our own language ?
Thanks a lot
thanks for the adjustments have not tried them yet but will. question though:
I've been using QM since I saw it in one of nrg28 ROMs. the version I downloaded (no clue where from) behaves differently:
- no action if I tap the battery button, other than notification bar showing
- QM is activated by pressing left-top on taskbar (where previous Start was, now typically black area)
- and, and this is the best part imho, it is activated by a short press on the Windows HW button no need to reprogram long press of Send or End button. brilliant!
to be honest, and definitely not want deminish your hard work, these are 3 pretty nice advantages. or am I missing something?
I don't use the Q icon (default disabled) because I couldn't see the point since the Start button/text disapeared. Battery drain is not noticable.
because of default short press on Windows hardware button feature, it is perfect for task SWITCHING. task manager is of course also directly accessible.
no complaints, great find and great mod.
Really coooool man thanx a lot

You're right, without any modifications it is as beautiful as it is !
The only thing I did was to modify it for one-handed operation. I discoverd that almost everything I do is with the right tumb while holding my device in my hand. Because of this everything what is on left side of the screen is almost out of reach. (even the bottom startbutton. I have small hands, you see). That's why I created an activation field on the battery-meter by using a transparant Q-icon. Transparant, so you see the battery-icon.
Try it, you love it.

According to this forum-member, who introduced me to this great app btw, you can change it to you language by just changing the code of mui files to the desired language code.
any working QuickMenu modification for WM 6.5.0 out there?
thx

Yes, someone has made a finger-friendly setup for the HD2 along with some instructions of how to change the language. Look for it here
But you can try this version as well. It should give you an "activation field" somewhere around the battery icon. (don't know exactly where, but you can play with it, see first post). Very nice for one-handed operation.
by changing the mui files you wont change the language interface itself, simply only making it usable in non-wwe roms (all text will turn out as squares if you dont do this)

Ai, my fault. Thanks for correcting me.
For those who want to get it working in their own language: you can edit
Code:
Program Files\Qmenu\QMenuCfg.dll.0409.mui
Program Files\Qmenu\QuickMenu.exe.0409.mui
with the tools from this thread.
(don't forget to change the language code afterwards)
Maybe it's a good idea to share these translated mui files. Post them in this thread and I will point to them in the first post.

You were right: tried it, LOVE it
TIP1: to make QuickMenu window pop-up by a single press of the Windows key (the part I think is great to use it as a Task switcher): open QuickMenu window / select Quickmenu / select Option... / select 4th checkbox Register win key of device
TIP2: if you, like me, prefer to activate Quickmenu from the left side of the screen (I have a hard time hitting the battery icon ): open QuickMenu window / select Quickmenu / select Option... / select second TAB on the bottom called View / deselect 1st checkbox open QuickMenu / (you can of course also change the offset value to something you like. default is 192, but then you get an invisible icon in the middle of the taskbar - also kind of hard to find )
tnx to Appelflap for a great mod!
i just made a shortcut, add a nice icon and add it to the first row of program shortcuts. no need to sharpen my finger, no useless complications with the top icons... and it works in all ROMs.! Simple! so, this not only for the "bottom buttons" ROMs
see pic
Great program
thanks bro

Update may 23: The beta is now closed. Thank you all for your participation and feedback. Please keep your suggestions coming. Suggestions and requests are welcome in the Thumb Keyboard thread in the paid-for app forum here on xda (link will follow)
--------------------------------
New beta 4:
Customizable toolbar. The toolbar can be switch on or off with a simple toggle. For phones as well as for tablet (Gingerbread and Honeycomb have more functions to assign to the toolbar keys)
New small keyboard for one handed operation on a 10" tablet. It also contains a "blind spot" which you can use to hold your tablet.
------
Thrilled to announce a brand new version of Thumb Keyboard.
It's a total rebuild from scratch of the current market version, therefore I decided to launch it first as a public beta.
Besides a whole new core that is optimized for Gingerbread and Honeycomb, the new version (v. 4.0) introduces a whole lot of new features:
multi-touch
Correct previous written words with suggestions
Shortcuts - store and edit much written phrases, mail signatures, logins and insert them with a simple tap
New addition to the prediction algorithm: predict a word based on a previous word
New: resize the width of the letter keys on the split layouts. With the option to adjust the height, one can now adjust the keyboard completely to ones own hands and device!!
Alternative suggestions for voice input. Just tap on the recognized word to see the alternatives
Redesign of the keyboard based on multi-touch chording. Entering numbers and operating the cursor keys was never more easy!
New style popup keyboards. Fling, slide and wipe and back to typing again ..
New design of the keyboard layout. Easier access of much used keys
Better esthetic integration with Honeycomb by the use of Honeycomb style windows
and more (and still more to come
The beta can be downloaded from thumb4beta.blogspot.com
(Because the beta was already out for some weeks for 10.1" tablets, some may wonder why this separate announcement. The reason is that the current version will support all screen sizes and layouts, just like the current market version. This means a lot more devices to be supported and a lot more test cases)
Looking forward to your feedback, suggestions, comments, bug reports (hope none ) etc.

Update (May 3):
Version 4 beta 3.2: added Custom portrait/landscape layout combination * Smiley popup keyboards now on all layouts * new theme "digital red" * custom keyclick sounds * better dictionaries * 12 extra shorcut or quicktext slots * Return key in instant messaging apps * option to exclude contact database from predictions * some bug fixes
Awesome! Big fan of your work. We've talked via email about the keyboard. I still use it. Downloading now.

Thought I've send you mail too. Let me know what you think about it.
Personally I think this is a BIG improvement over the version over the version on the Market. One of the things I liked about the stock GB keyboard was you could tap previously entered words and change what was entered. Love seeing that in here.
The only thing I don't see is being able to set different layouts for portrait and landscape. Being a phone user, I like that the hide keyboard button is hidden.
Big speed improvements as well. Great job!
Thanks going to give this a try!

Thanks! The ability to set different layouts for landscape and portrait mode will certainly come back. It's one of the core functioneren of this keyboard. I left it out just to have something to do while the beta is tested
If you are on Gingerbread or Honeycomb you should try out the bigram predictions (only English supported right now). It will predict in many cases the next word with the previous word and just one letter. For example if you type "of" and then the letter t you get a bunch of relevant words starting with a t and that makes sense as the next word after "of". Great feature for phones. (It will also learn from word pairs that are entered a lot)

Awesome on both accounts! I use a Gingerbread ROM on my phone and have the bigram thing enabled. Liking this a lot.
Nice, I'm loving it so far, I've been waiting for something that actually *KNOWS* what you want type next and learns other than swiftkey. The only thing I ask you, is please give us the option to enlarge the spacebar by removing the smile faces, comma, and or period key.
Thank you, and how else besides the blog and this thread can I keep up with the latest beta releases?

Will look into that.
The beta releases are all published on http://thumb4beta.blogspot.com
You can subscribe to that blog to get a notification when a change is made.
I've had a lot of downloads and yet no single bug report. I like to think that the keyboard is completely bug free, but that would be wishful thinking in the context of this giant project.
Any bugs? Please report them here or on the beta site.
I have found what I like to think is a bug.
Say I want to enter todays date. I long press the q for the number 1, the I select the "/" from the upper row and then I long press the t for the number 5. So far so good.
Now I want to enter a different date, like 29/5. I long press to get a 2, the I long press to get a 9. Now the upper bar is empty, and I can't select the "/" there
Another bug: I can't long press the p key to get a 0. All the other keys work.
And a little warning to Desire/Nexus One owners, if you long press the ?123 button while selecting a button on the lower row on the keyboard ( ! " ' : ; / ?), it will probably not work that well. It has to to do with the multitouch on those devices.It has to to with this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VhBRMaUn6Ig
If you want I can make a video showing all of these problems.
what about Portuguese - PT? Any plans on implement it?
very nice thank you nice sharing

I'm able to hold P to get 0. Using the standard layout.
After fiddling around with the different keyboards I got it to work too. After uninstalling and reinstalling however, it stopped working again.
EDIT: I found the problem, if I enable "long press for numbers and syn.." I can long-press P to get 0. If I disable it however it won't work.

Thank god a bug You are right, the standard-layout doesn't have a popup menu defined. Thanks for noticing. Will fix it asap.
Glad you sorted the other problem out. I couldn't reproduce it. In some cases the keyboard can act not as expected after a fresh install. In that case a simple, infamous reboot will fix the problem. (Seems like a general Android problem)
Hello ! I found a little bug : when you select azerty layout ... it shows on qwerty
Exept this, great work !
