Touchflo to O2 atom life - iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom General

Hi All,
Could someone tell me whether the HTC touchflo can be installed in the O2 atom life?? I have install the HTC home with customizer already. Thanks in advance~~

Very possible, however might need some porting or configuration.
BTW HTC home is just a TodayPlugin(which is much simple to extract for us),whereas TouchFlo is a total different things as i heard it even required the alteration of Touch Screen Driver of our devices.
You can try finding the installation file in the forum, i tried on wm5 before, needed hardreset as my touchscreen failed after installing due to the incompatible Touch driver.
Do try and let us know the result
Good Luck!!

WM6 on Eten G500(+)

Hi out there,
after I tried to install a WM6 Rom on a G500+ and looked into several Eten DUMPS I wondered how to change the identification of that device, because it says something like "wrong hardware version" or so if I try to install that X500 ROM on it (what propably should be normal to be said) but is there any file or so which needs a change and then recompile the ROM to make it work?
Or can someone please help me step by step to brew a WM6 ROM for the G500+ and perhaps the G500? I think WM6 should work on the G500+ because of the hardware and processor speed.
So what points are exisiting to be taken care of?

Hi Strauch,
This site is actually for HTC based devices. There may be someone that might know how to help with your particular device, but don't count on it. Good luck though.

TouchFlo: Why only ROM but no cab?

I´ve been following with interest the porting of touchflo interface to non-Elf (Touch) devices.
There have been lots of requests for developing a cab with files n settings for such an interface. It has been suceesfully ported to custom ROMs for Artemis, wizard...., but developers say that there is no way to build just a cab.
not being a developer, i would like to know the rationale behind "cab is no possible", as i can not undestand why, if touch flow can be ccoked to a ROM, it can not be made into a cab. Surely there is an explanation.
(i ask this question because i´d rather keep the stock ROM until warranty period is over, but i want to use my device (Artemis) as much as possible without reverting to stylus)
The Problem is that the Touch.dll must be replaced with the one from HTC Touch... this is not possible.
Only before cooking the Rom you are able to replace System DLLs
..
hope this helps
So the solution would be to make an installation rotine that unloads touch dll from memory, ,overwrites it with the replacement "flo" one, and then reload touch dll.
is that a workable solution under MsMobile platform?
Sorry if i´m proposing a nonsense, as i´m no programmer at all (just "hello world" stuff)
I'm not one of the ROM cookers here but I think the system dlls that need replacing cannot be deleted because they are in ROM and therefore, the device needs to be flashed to change behaviour.

or just the cab being reinstalled after every hard reset?
The touch.dll is different from device to device... so u'll have to have a "touch" dll that fits your device. Another reason is that the dll can not be changed after flashing the rom, has it is protected by the OS (not even using Total Commander...).
I try to overwrite Touch.dll via some program to replace the original Touch.dll.
After replace it, Touch-screen is no respond to any touch on the screen but Hardware button still working ,then I restore my device.
In my idea, I think Touch.dll is device specific and this file take control all of touch-screen. So Touch.dll cannot be replace by conventional method.
We have to rewrite Touch-Flo program to hook on another dll, e.g. Touch-Flo.dll. (This is just my theory) But I don't know "How to do it ?".
Does anyone have idea about it ?

Well, until Tytn II(Kaiser) is released, the only touch-flo enabled phone that can be bought off the shelf is HTC Touch.
So all cooked ROMs for Artemis, Wizard.....that include touchflo, must include touchflo dlls extracted from HTC Touch ROM.
Then, my understanding is that, as these touch-flo ROM do actually run on devices other than HTC Touch, the dll´s needed must be not so "device specific" but (more or less) generic for QVGA devices without graphics processor (or at least for OMAP 200 devices).
maybe its not only touch dll, but also other files which have to be replaced by files from HTC Touch.
Has any body managed to extract the touchflo files from HTC touch or TytnII??? If yes then kindly post them here. Maybe we can try to put it in other models like Hima..

There a number of ROMs that include TouchFlo in Prophet, Artemis n Wizard xda-dev forums.
i dont know how to extract specific files from a ROM file, nor which files are flo-related files, and have to be extracted.
Surely the cookers of those ROMs can advise and even provide the Flo files.

look in the wizard WM6 forum, there are several kitchen roms and links to OEM packs with all the touch stuf thats needed.
I agree ,

touchflo requires Touch.dll, and Touch.dll is not an application. Itz part of the OS which is device dependent. Unless someone writes a fully working touchflo cube, managed to remove the current touch.dll with his own dll, then it is portable from device to device.

funny thread in the sense some pple is asking the same again and again.
I would summarize state of art as follows:
-Some ROMs with Touch flo have been developed by forum members for devices other than HTC Touch.
-Touch flo files are available for those who want to cook their own ROM, at least for OMAP devices.
- As today,Touch flo files can not be installed in a device over an existing ROM because installation can not overwrite certain files as they are in use by the system.
Workaround (Yet To be made)would be an installation routine that unloads files to be replaced, and loads touchflo ones. This routine should be performed after every reset, as resets reloads the files from original ROM.
Here are a bunch of cabs to give you the look of the Touch but these won't give you the finger scroll feature.

I personnally don't care for the eye candy on my wizard, but like the touch driver that lets me finger scroll. The OEM packs I've seen bundle this driver with the today plug-in, but there's just a few files specific to the touch driver that can be separated out from the today plug-in.

to get fingerscrolling you'll only need the touch.dll not othere file or regestry setting but somehow it doesn't seem to work for all devices. I don't know why... if it just can't work or no one figured it out yet?

Htc Home Screen

Could someone tell me, how can I install THE HOME plugin on my HTC VIZARD?
Please write some links and guides too!!!!!
thanks to all!!!!!!!!!!!!
What's your WM Version?
It only works if you have WM5 or WM6.
If you have WM6, then you can choose a good rom that already has it installed.
If you have WM5, then you can make a search on the forum, where it is has been extensively discussed already.
I suggest looking for "HTC Home Plugin WM5".
There you go...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=332438&highlight=HTC+Home+Plugin+wm5
I wanted the HTC plug-in as well but I needed Wm6, check my post. I got it all in 1 rom.

Touch Cube

Guys,
I have a Kaiser and I want Touch Cube on it. So I started searching on all the forums but I'm totally lost. I already tried a cab to install but it didn't work and because I'm not such an expert as you guys, I'm scared to crash my Kaiser. Above all there are so many threats and posts, that I'm losing it.
So a very simple questing:
Were can I find the latest, as bug free as possible, easy to install cab file for installing Touch Cube on my Kaiser.
Thx!

I think the best one you find here:

htc home customizer not working

Hi,
I've installed HTC Home customizer v1.0 beta 5 but when trying to run it I get an error, IndexOutOfRangeException for homecust.exe
has anyone managed to get this working on the original ROM?
and yes I did do a soft reset after the installation
I think that you have to install a newer version of HTC Home. HTC Home Customizer does not work with default HTC Home.
1. Remove HTC_Home_PPC_Blue from Remove programs if is there. If not, go to step 2.
2. Install sdkcerts.cab
3. Install Kaiser.HTC.Home.v2.0.814.722-schen.cab
4. Install Backlight bug fix.cab
5. Install HHCv10b5.cab
Download HTC Home plugin fix pack
Thanks panosha !
What is new in the kaiser home compared to the polaris one? If i dont want to change the look of the plugin, is the upgrade needed/adviced?
Thanks! Finally it works
Thanks Panosha,
Having spent some fruitless hours on trying to get the customizer working, it really works now!

The name of the file does not mean nothing. Use it if you want to customize the plugin.
