I really like the HD's Touch3D Weather Tab - Very cool BUT.....
It's totally inacurate in Qld Australia (where I live).
Is there any way to tweak it to use custom sources (like BOM.gov.au or weatherchannel, etc)?
This can be done (although it's quite complicated) with SPB weather and SBSH Weather. It would be great if it could be done with TouchFlo 3D on HD.

I tried SBSH's Pocket Weather, although i liked it, it uses weather.com for info and its not accurate at all. Is there any weather plugins that look good, ie skins as pocket weather but have the ability to select a source.
SPB weather will let you if I remember correctly, the only problem is that most people complain about memory leakeage with it. I use pocket weather now and I have to admit I seem to have more memory free for longer periods of time then when I use to have SPB, but give it a whirl and see how you like it.
I use SBSH Pocketweather V1.0012 Build 761 and no problems at all for a year now on wm2003se.
Don't forget to set the following registry tweak to get the (newer and more beautiful) TGA icons working in the BMP folder:
[HKCU\Software\SBSH\PocketWeather]
"UseTGAIcons"=dword:00000001
So you can use the icons from newer versions (I use pw v1.24 icons)
Weather.com is sometimes more accurate then our own KNMI (Netherlands)
V1.0012 is extremely stable, small and versatile (download pictures as icons etc). Don't like the newer version of pocketweather.
Good luck
Hello,
I would like to integrate a program on my touchFlo 3D today screen like photocontact pro (to manage profiles) or SPB traveler (or any other). Do you think it's possible to do so, as I did on my WM6 today screen?
Thanks a lot
HTC Diamond ROM 1.93
should be possible but theres like a million files in manilla
good luck trying to find the one u need
maybe when someone makes a very powerfull manilla editor
Not really... TF3D is an UI platform that resembles Flash greatly. Thus, no external application integration is possible (in current version).
Hi there!
I have decided that I need something more business oriented for my diamond's today screen, so I am using Manilla control to work with pocket breeze (in order to get best of both worlds). Now what I need is a plugin which works well on my diamond, pocket breeze and manilla control and gives you time, missed calls and smss. I have tried to install the HTC Home plugin but i had to hard reset the phone ... since it did not want to get past startup! Thats why I decided to ask this time...
I m sure you have plenty of options and ideas ... maybe you could post a screenshot too of the application you propose...
Thanks,
Franklin
I'm in the same situation as you, I don't think you'll find a solution to directly integrate PB into TF3D. You'll have to change to another user interface that supports 3rd party plugins eg. Wisbar AD and a few others.
It's a shame HTC didn't include 3rd party plugin support in the new TF3D 2.
Yeah
Yesss... I know that you can't use both ... what I am asking is what plugin (3rd part) is compatible with manilla controller (used to switch between touchflo and today screen) and pocket breeze to add some phone info!
You mentioned on program there ..are there anyother ones worth mentioning? I wanted a HTC Home Plugin sort of effect (missed calls, sms and a clock)
Thanks for any replys.
Well for notifications, missed calls, SMS, Emails etc I use PhoneAlarm by PocketMAX, the latest version has many different types of skins etc and itself is a fairly powerful program.

And this is an alternative one:

I own a new Omnia, and am considering getting SPB Mobile Shell 3 - it seems to be the best one so far I have tried on the Omnia. With one important exception - the weather stinks! Owning a Titan before and using WBA, Titanium (on WM6.5), it seems a real disappointment to have SPB displaying weather that only shows the high/low temp for the day when these others can show hourly or real-time updates!
So I will ask the question: Anyone out there developed some wiz-bang app, widget or whatever that will show on the SPB MS 3 and replace their really lousy weather app? I did some searching but didn't come up with anything concrete.
Thanks in advance!
Doesnt SPB have their own weather app? I imagine that will integrate much better with their shell.
Yes SPB has is own weather app that, in my opinion is very good, and integrates perfectly with mbs 3.

I like the WPActivate widget made by storyr at ppcgeeks. It uses WeatherPanel and displays the current temp, etc. in MS3. Pressing it takes you to weatherpanel which gives you lots of weather details, radar, etc. You find it here.
I showed a friend of mine how, on my Fuze, I'm able to flick through my emails in Outlook and he was wondering if there was a similar app for his Palm Pro (Sprint).
Whenever I do a search for 'TouchFlo' on the forum, I usually end up with threads about M2D or M3D, which isn't what I'm looking for. Is there any way to add the TouchFLO from the Fuze/Raphael to the Treo Pro? If not, does anyone know if FTouchFLO provides the same functionality as HTC's TF?
I am almost certian Manilla is a code name from the developers for touchflo. As for the M2D(Manilla 2d) is touchFlo 2d and M3D(Manilla 3D) is touchflo 3D. So thats the case. Go and check youtube videos of M2D or M3D and see if thats what your looking for. But like you said on your Fuze (Touch Pro) then it was M3D which is not working for our treo pro

You want this! I run it on my wife's TreoPro and it is flawless. The alphas are free, the final versions are now a paid app but include some other stuff along with being a bit more stable. Lighweight and dependable.
Brian:
I'm pretty sure Manilla and TouchFlo are different things. Manilla (2D and 3D) is just a user interface. I'm talking about the underlying gesture recognizer that comes on the Fuze. I call it TouchFLO because that is the entry in the control panel. The wiki says the name 'TouchFLO' is just HTC's branding, but it's also the finger interface that other devices lack.
furry:
I was looking at FTouchFLO, but wasn't sure it did everything my friend liked that HTC's TouchFLO does. On your wife's Treo, when you're in Outlook reading an email, can you flick the screen left for the next message and right for the previous?
Me and Zbop were talking about porting Touch Flo 3D to work on the Treo Pro.
He would patch the binaries to work under 320x320 and I would resize the graphic files and repoistion everything.
I'd have to get in contact with him to see if we can get this going or not.
I for sure would do it.
SO what is available for the Pro as of right now? Just TouchFLO 2D? How does it differ from TouchFLO 3D? I am just using SPB Mobile Shell 3 and find it a vast improvement over the standard Today screen crap. The interface is much sexier and much more condusive to fingering.
It is what it says. Its basically Touch Flo 2D except with 3D graphics and more eye candy.
Though it has more features.
My understanding about M3D vs. M2D is just aesthetics through hardware acceleration. For example, in M2D, the photo browsing tab lets you flick through your photos. M3D does the same, with the added effect of the photo actually sliding off the screen and the next taking its place. Just eye candy. (That, and I think M2D doesn't support VGA resolution as cleanly as M3D.)
You'll notice I'm referring to Manilla 2D and 3D and NOT TouchFLO. The HTC TouchFLO program I started this tread about is the underlying app that recognizes finger gestures for Manilla as well as adding 'flick-scroll' support to apps that don't internally support it (such as Total Commander or Outlook).
The main feature I'm looking for is specifically used in Outlook. It allows you to go to the next email by flicking the screen to the left or the previous to the right. It also allows you to flick to different email accounts if you're looking at the summary screen.
The program that you're looking for to have the finger scrolling option is called:
FtouchSL. I tried version 2.10 and it works just awesome on the Treo Pro GSM.
All you have to do is disable it in apps that don't like it. I'd HIGHLY recommend this proggie. Good luck!

I don't see why you'd want/need the finger-flicking on devices that have a useable D-pad.
For a touch-only device, yes you need it, and it helps the screen to be the entire user interface.
The Treo Pro has buttons. If you don't want to use them, I suggest buying something with a bigger screen.
