Minimize programs with touchflo - Touch CDMA General

I know that this has been discussed here: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=13771&highlight=minimize
but the instructions on how to specifically use an up -->down motion (in order to minimize a currently open program) are either beyond me, not clear enough, or not there at all. Has anyone been able to get this function to work, and if so can you post instructions. Also, as mentioned in the above thread can we get a side-to-side motion the switch between open programs?

I read the thread. Like you said, instructions were missing
I have a modded cube and lots of hacks on my Touch.
So, one option that works for me at the moment - is a two step process.
1) press red button to return to Home screen.
2) press task list drop down in top right corner and choose running program to switch to.
It's fast, easy, working and doesn't require any potential confilcts with TouchFlo.

I think the minimize.exe app they refer to is used in conjunction with the ftouchflo application - not the standard touchflo. You can find it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=338143

Tips/ instructions on using touchflo/ cube

Very new to this and how it works, so far ive come across scrolling and this cube thing, but i havent found much information on besides youtube videos demonstrating not explaining, i do have a touch rom installed though
You have to make sure the rom you have installed even HAS the cube. Most cooks named their rom versions using the word TOUCH, but they may not necessarily include the cube... so look thru the rom info from the download post and see if its included in the rom u have.
First go into the cube settings, and set up the gesture you want to use to activate the cube
you have to set a shortcut to the aplauncher.exe which is located in the windows dir somewhere ... such as one of the soft keys or a link in programs.
When you run that shortcut, you'll notice ur flicker or something strange .. if I remember correctly, the X at the top right would dissappear. When that happens. you just slide your finger across the screen in the method you set up under the first step of what I wrote.
Most tutorials you see on youtube are an actual HTC TOUCH device ... which has an extra button that serves the sole purpose of running the applauncher.exe to bring up the cube. For all of us that don't have that actual device, we have to set the shortcut somewhere else in order to be able to activate it

[APP] SensorScroll v0.7.1 beta [updated 20 May 2009]

SensorScroll uses the HTC Touch Diamond/PRO Gesture Wheel to scroll up and down inside windows which allow scrolling (has a scroll bar). It can also emulate key pressing instead of scrolling.
It is in beta stage, please use carefully. All bug reports, fresh ideas and recommendations are welcome.
Instructions:
1. Install the application. It adds shortcut in Programs and in \Windows\Startup folders!
2. Right after installation you can run the application from Programs shortcut to start using it. There is no need for soft reset to have it running for the first time!
3. To use the application open a Window with a vertical scroll bar like Programs or File Explorer and try rotating the scroll sensor clockwise for scroll down and counter clockwise for scroll up. Don't forget to try the touch action too (double tap on the central button to switch on/off and touch the direction keys)
4. To fine tune the application behavior use the SensorScroll Settings application
5. Have fun!
6. To stop, run it again and you will have an option to stop it.
Notes:
Inside installation folder there is a file named no_process.txt. The file contains a list of process names which will not be affected by the application (or by SensorScroll Settings). It already has some entries like opera, teeter, etc.
The application is freeware (and will always stay free)
Known issues:
* Does not work with GScroll ! Both programs act like they have disabled each other.
Todo:
* Clear the source code and add some comments
* Open the source code if i consider it good enough to be open
Search for new ideas:
We can do something with the rest of the touch sensitive area. I'm collecting ideas. We can use single, double or triple click. Known limitation: you could track press and release coordinates, but cannot track finger movement (at least I don't know how). If you come with a good idea please share it and post a reply. Thanks in advance!
History:
* v0.7.1 (20.05.2009)
- Fixed a nasty bug resulting in SensorScroll working with all programs including those who needs to be ignored
- Temporary removed windows enumeration in SensorScroll Settings. I'll try to put some more complex code to handle poorly working API functions in the next version.
* v0.7 (17.05.2009)
- Fully changed working principles. Should be much more stable and compatible now.
- Added support for screen rotation. Read the manual about the 3 key screen rotation.
- Added support for process identify. Read the manual.
- Added handling of power notifications. Now it should consume almost no CPU when suspended.
- Added support for preventing the device to go to suspended state while using the d-pad
- Added support for vibrate feedback for "touch gestures switch", "screen rotation", "process identify"
- Fixed problem with saving/loading settings with non english versions of windows mobile
- Fixed problem with double tap working not only for the center button, but also in other areas (home, back, call, end call)
- Removed process enumeration in SensorScroll Settings. This caused more problems then it solved.

Old version 0.6 can be found here
Thanks. Works well so far. One early issue I noticed upon installing your .cab is my device freezes for no apparent reason. I am also running GScroll, may have something to do with that. I'll try disabling it and report back.
Great app...props already http://www.fuzemobility.com/?p=1479

Confirmed.... Does not play nice nice w/GScroll. After disabbling GScroll it works great unfortunately I need GScroll so I can have the double tap functionality to bring up SecondToday
Randomly the program will stop working (not sure if it completely shuts down or if its actually running, but not working). Instead of scrolling the page, it will start to scroll by each item. For example, in the Program menu it will go from app to app.
Works Perfectly for me.
Thanks!
The Mobile Spoon
Working perfect - thank you!
edit: after testing as already pointed out seems to turn off.
How does this compare with the cabs already out? I mean does it work in EVERY app? I mean I use RRE's Smart Touch Wheel Scroll.cab, but I'll try this one and see if there is any difference.
Kraize - this works in far more applications. It's really an expansion because you can set it to leave the defaults in place that Diamond Tweaks puts in. The only problem appears to be that it turns off at some points. Not sure what is causing the behavior.
Great App!!! is there any way you could make this scroll through touchflo? Like left 2 right? Always wanted this....lol sorry . Anyways thank you!
AT&T FUZE Touch Pro unstable
Awesome idea! Installed it on my 1 day old AT&T FUZE and crashed a few times and rebooted the phone once. Hopefully will be fixed soon. HAve the feeling AT&T touch flow 3D is causing the issue.
Nice app any way to get this to work with S2U2?
Thank you for sharing, I will give it a try
cheers
Works fine on my Touch Pro. Tnx mate for this!
the program chashes at my touch pro after a few minutes and doens´t scoll anymore so i have to exit and restart it again.
why runing additional app when this should be integrated just need to tell registry
check this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=406206
i don't have stability problems, but the app doesn't survive the first suspend

it's still better to import dozens of reg files after each hard reset + it works with ALL toolbar-scroll windows ^^
hello, is it possible for you to make a version wich moves LEFT <> RIGHT instead of UP <> DOWN ?
I mean to scroll tabs on manilla, to change word when typing a sms cause may big fiingers are to dummy to easily use the left right keys
PS : excuse my english, i'm french
Perfect..
It works fine on my device
Thank a lot man
Thank you for your replies! I'll check the application with GScroll. I've never used it so far. I hope it will be possible to fix the problem.

User interface yrgo 2.3 beta 5

Hi guys,
I have released new yrgo 2.3 beta 5 so you can check it out on my forum here.
If you are new in yrgo - yrgo is highly customizable User Interface Shell written for Windows Mobile 5/6 Professional devices. It allows much more that any other Shell and goes more deep into the system - the memory footprint is also held low.
I highly recommend to see the presentation video (the video was recorded with older version - doesn't have as nice graphic as it is there now and it has much less functionality, but it is good to understand yrgo's concept).
So let me know what do you think .
UPDATED: There's a bug in the version I linked to my forum - it has only Czech version. Please scroll down the thread there, download English.zip a follow the instructions in the post to get the English version working. Sorry for that.
Regards,
Luky
Oh yes,
the gadgets for almost all resolutions are not arranged properly - it is still the beta version and I will work on this this week.
But you can of course easily re-arrange it however you want very easily (just check the video I have mentioned above).
Thanks.
Luky
it is really nice and fast. on start up there was too much gadgets on screen, I would say try to make the desktop really clean aligned properly on startup. but it's a good work you're doing.
I'm not sure if this is a bug: using the file manager to explore my windows directory seems to hang the app, or maybe my windows directory is just really big. after it hanged and I terminated it manually, the app still populated my top and bottom bar, and half my screen, I had to soft reset.
plus how to change background?
Hi,
thanks for your feedback. I'll check out the problem with Windows folder.
To change the background image, just find such image in the yrgo's file explorer and use Context menu and scroll down to get ability to use such image as a desktop background.
Regards,
Luky
I really like your app. your design mode is very innovative, resizeable icons, etc.
*why the "hide" button? after going deep in the settings and want to go back to the home screen I had to click back button all the way back to home. it is possible to make the hide button "home" button so one click will bring me back to home? I know I can click on an empty spot and it will bring me to home, but I don't think everyone will know that.
*when not in full screen mode some of the icons/info is cut off at the bottom because the icons\layout doesn't resize accordingly.
*is it possible to add the "running applications" button as a gadget?
*also could there be some transition effect from desktop to desktop?
know I'm asking for a lot but I wouldn't be saying anything if I didn't like the app.
Hi,
thanks for your feedback. It's ok, your questions are really relevant and helpful for me.
Yes, you're right. It makes more sense to have button "Home" instead of "Hide". I'll change it.
I know about the problem when switching off the full screen mode. The previous version had auto-rearraning the gadgets but it made a big mess when you switched from landscape/portrait mode so I temporarily removed it.
Yes, running appliactions can be add to the desktop easily - as any other item in yrgo - just 'tap and hold' on the Running application icon a use "Add to desktop"
Yep, some transition effect would be nice - but at this moment it is not my priority. I need to release current 2.3 as soon as possible. After that I'll start to think about new feature.
Again, thanks a lot for your feedback- it was very helpful.
Regards,
Luky

Important Questions everyone needs to know

1. Can the sense UI be somehow positioned into landscape mode with a .cab?
2. How do you get into the registry? All visible is HKM? no HKLM files found anywhere...
3. How to search for specific threads under one phone on xda.

1. Yes, use attached cab. It will rotate the display when you rotate the phone into portrait. I only know this to be working on the HD2.
2. What registry editor are you using?
3. Navigate to the forums for that model, and any of the subforums there that apply to your question, and then use the "search this forum" button in the top right, immediately above the list of threads.
Thanks ALOT, you dont know how much this helps, also i am using RESCO for registry, but i think i found a youtube video for that. Thanks alot, if i could award you something i would, (if there is, please do tell as well) (like a thumbs up, or +karma, or whatever this site may use if any)

ok so for the landscape cab, do i need a soft reset, and would you happen to know if cookies home screen mod works with the hd2 landscape? also, how do i find this app in the start menu, when i soft reset my phone, nothing happened when i switched my phone to landscape, any ideas?
I'm afraid that I have no idea if this works or not alongside of co0kie's mod. A soft reset after running the cab should be all you needed to get the rotation working, there's no app to run (or icon for it) after that, it just runs in the background.
You can try one more soft-reset (I think mine took 2 to kick in), and I would also go into settings and calibrate your g-sensor if you haven't already.
Also...are you rotating it the right way into landscape? so that the hardware buttons end up to the right of the screen? This cab will only do the rotation in that direction, and back.
I'm afraid the only officially-sanctioned expressions of gratitude here are the ones issued by the treasury...but this small bit of assistance isn't even worth the time it would take, so your words do the job just fine Pay it forward (here at xda, if possible!)
FYI:
It does work with co0kie's mod but it replaces some of the menu items while in landscape. I can definitely live with that, thank you for the awesome app.

You're very welcome, glad it's working for you
For anyone that hasn't seen that tweak before, you'll want to check out the thread I found it in, there's a bunch more very useful stuff in there:

Need the following apps

I need the following HTC Wizard apps:
-An app which locks the touch screen and keypad and can be unlocked by pressing a combination of buttons (Like left softkey + right softkey) like in symbian and java phones.
-A good java emulator
-A notes app like WM5 built-in notes app which supports recognition of what you draw.
Please post here if you have.
PS: I'm a newbie here so I apologize if these apps are already uploaded.
#1: you can configure the standard lock to unlock with a simple numeric PIN or a more complex passphrase. You can configure it to lock with a timeout ... I use one hour: when I haven't used the phone for an hour it automatically locks. You can also get S2U2 or other locking programs.
#2: Java ... look for "Esmertec Jbed".
#3: bring up the notes app, then click on the soft keyboard. click on the little up-arrow beside the keyboard icon on the bottom of the screen, and you might find other keyboard options including recognition. Some cooks left it out of their ROMs to save space, but it's a standard thing.
Lots of free apps are available. One excellent source is OMarket. Also search the xda-developer forums, especially the development forums, for old threads where people may have attached cab files or zips of cab files.
#1: I got the lock application but still thanks for telling
#2: Thanks!
#3: I don't mean that. I mean when you draw something on the screen and then go to Tools > Recognize, it recognizes the letters you have drawn and shows them as text. That feature is not in my TNT Rom. I think it's only for WM5. Do you have such a plugin to enable that?
Thanks!
Ah, I know what you mean. I don't clearly remember but I think someone posted a cab for that in one of the ROM development threads.
