I have recently changed to WM6.5 and I have noticed some issues. In both PIE and Word Mobile I cannot use any finger scrolling. It only works with arrows. What happens is when I swipe it simply selects text. It does not behave this way when I used IE6 instead of PIE and in most applications this doesn't occur, but in Word and PIE it makes them effectively unusable.
I am using Energy ROM with Manila 2.1 on an Xperia.
Yes, I did try several searches and couldn't find an answer to my question.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello. I am a bit unhappy Touch PRO user because I love touchflo interface but would like also to use system tray-controlled software like openvpn or vsUtil.
I already installed secondtoday (also replaced the "Phone" softkey with it) but there is no way to make REAL tray icons appear there, only fake launcher stuff with Homescreen PLusPlus. The way left to access tray-controlled apps is to quit tochflo today plugin thru loooong series of taps thru settings.
I-d love an alternative such as make real tray icons still appear in Secondtoday or a lightweight tray icons porting popup app. Any other ideas/clues how to get an easy access to tray icons from touchfo....
Thanks for reading
Looking forward to hear Your thoughts
I agree.
My office forces us to use the Good email system. That software uses its own version of the email client, calendar and contacts. I'd like to reassign the tray "buttons" to point to the Good programs rather than being stuck with quick links to now unused versions of email, calendar and contacts.

Hi,
did you find a solution to the problem in the meantime?
Without the trayicons i have to choose between a pretty finger-enabled gui or using my universities WLAN.
Kind regards,

i assume you are talking about enlargetitlebar which which gives you easier hits on the "system tray" notifications. you should be able to disable it in the registry. mess around in hklm\software\htc. there might be an enable dword you can set to 0. i dont have it installed on my rom and i kind of miss it so i may try to get it back on my next flash.
No, i refer to the system tray at the bottom of today screen as shown in this screenshot.
The manilla interface is drawn on top of it and theres no easy way to access it. I have to disable touchflo in the settings, then start openvpn and afterwars reactivate touchflo. This is annoying... too bad openvpn relies on this.
oh yeah. forgot all about that thing. havent seen it in years. try a tf3d to today switcher thing. ive seen ones that it changes the left home tab soft key to the words "today" which lets you have a second today screen and today items and i guess the system tray too along side tf3d. ill try to find it again.

@The Jack of Clubs:
Thanks so much! This works for me, i can switch between classic today screen and manilla rather fast!

One of the things I find annoying in browsing for apps through the Programs entry in the start menu is that if you browse sub folder in it (like Games) you can't go back without closing the Programs menu...
Is there any freeware and lite app or hack that can add a Back and Front options to the WM bottom bar only when browsing Programs?
Thanks in advance
Bump...
Come on it's been a week... Doesn't anyone know of an answer?
Sorry if this seems shameless but if I get it right this thread has only one week left and then will be deleted...
If nobody posts an answer, then it's probably because nobody has one.
I don't have an answer for your question, but a piece of advice instead: ditch the default start menu - it's crap Use QuickMenu, TouchLaunch or MortButtons (this one takes some time to configure properly but it's probably the most powerful), or more than one of them. They all have their pros and cons, but all are better than the default start menu that hasn't changed at all since windows CE 3.0 (probably since 1.0, but 2 is the oldest one i used ). QuickMenu is great because it behaves like the start menu on a "big" windows - it's cascading plus it has some neat options lik ebuilt in task manager, screen rotation and SIP selection. Also, it can replace the default menu entirely. But it's not very finger friendly and it's best used with a D-Pad, a stylus or with a finger where you're not in motion. But it's rather hard to use with a finger on a bike or on a bus.
TouchLaunch is still a beta, but works really smoothly, and is very finger friendly. Also, it can view all shortcuts you have in the start menu ignoring folder structure, so as long as you know program's name, it will be really easy to find.
All of them are free and availible here at xda-devs, just do a search. So my advice is to try them all and choose the one you like the best, but forget about the default menu.
Thanks for the reply
I realized that people might not now the answer but they might as well have missed the thread since it was burried by a whole week of q&a's...
I've actually tried QuickMenu and TouchLanch in the past but I removed both. The first is a lot less finger-friendly than Omnia's big screen implementation for the start menu and seemed kind of unstable (at least the version I tried. I switched to wktask as a task manager/lister/launcher (I keep only the most usefull shortcuts).
The second is kind of heavy, didn't fit to my whole screen (and I couldn't config it to... at least that version) and the Launcher that comes with Omnia has a feature very similar to it (which is also heavy... that's why I still use the default Program folder sometimes)...
I generally use the default Start menu Programs browser for apps I use less often.
Will try MortButton though I don't know if this is what I'm looking for (or if I can even use it)... I always thought there would be a small .exe or scipt to address this WM flaw.
I don't understand what do you mean?
When I go to 'Programs', then 'Games' via the start menu, if I press OK it takes me back to Programs.
Maybe you have a task manager set up that closes windows when you press OK.
Strange... Is there an "OK" in your system? Mine is WM 6.1 (oficial rom). I don't have any buttons in the bottom bar while browsing Games and on the top bar there's an "X" in the right.
It doesn't seem to be the task manage. I'm pretty sure I remember this behavior as the default and I just double checked after exiting wktask and even after a soft-reset (with it's autorun feature disabled)... Even without a task manager that folder is closed without returning to Programs...
Hello,
I'm using Raphael for months and still is there one disappointing thing. SmartTouch - the round thing below display which works like navigation cross and (that's worse) wheel used e.g. to zoom in Opera Mobile.
Important question: IS THERE ANY WAY TO DISABLE IT?
I won't it. I prefer to use this round thing only as arrows, not a wheel. Often I fast tap upper and then bottom arrow (to scroll in browser) Raphael thinks I will zoom. I think it will be easier to use Raphael when SmartTouch function will be disabled.
Try to delete all programs in list of Advanced Config. Start AdvCfg,then go to Menu-More settings-SmartTouch.
Nope, that's different thing. This only disable listing with SmartTouch but do not disable native ST function - like zooming in Outlook or in Opera Mobile.
Well,new information for me. I am using smartwheel just for scrolling. I don't use Opera and camera I use once per month,so I didn't noticed it. It can be much better,if touchwheel can work inside of Opera for scrolling...

Hello, and merry christmas...
to answer your question, I advise that you use FdcSoft TaskMgr, go to the "Services" tab, look for the "SmartTouch(SMT0" entry, tap & hold to get the menu, then select --> Stop, Set Manual, and finally Disable.
Voila...
Cheers
How-to looks great, but there is something wrong - no process you described in my device Nor something similar.
I have a VZW Touch Pro. I have tried Pocket Toolman 2, Advanced Configuration Tool v3.3, Diamond Tweak, and maybe one more to make configuration changes. However, each one of these causes a problem for me.
When I pull out the keyboard and then try to fill in a form field in PIE, the cursor moves when I type, but I cannot see the letters in the field. Also, if I have the keyboard open and I go to favorites (particularly Edit Favorites), instead of seeing my favorites, I see chinese looking characters instead of the name of the favorite.
I have tried hard resets and just installing net 3.5, then one of the above programs. Even if I leave the input and IE settings in these apps alone, it causes this to happen.
I would like to use the tweaks in at least one of these programs. However, I need to know if there is something that I can chose not to set in one of these programs, or a registry key that I can edit after configuring one of these programs, to get the functionality back.
Any help is appreciated, as I am at a loss at this point.
You have enabled cleartype in landscape mode. Disable it again
Thank you for your help.
First, I apologize if this has been covered. A google search did not yield an answer for me, but I'm not sure if I am using the correct search terms!
I love WM 6.5's finger/kinetic scrolling feature. However, I have a few older apps that use a drag and select feature (Windows Explorer-style) which is overridden by the new scrolling feature. So, I lose the ability to drag and select. I was wondering if there is a way to exclude certain apps from WM 6.5's new finger scrolling behavior?
Great call! I always used to select multiple email messages to delete by selecting the white space just below the last message and dragging up. I was wondering why that wasn't working, and this is obviously why. If I could disable it just for messaging, that would be incredible!
