{request}Mac style Dock - Touch CDMA General

hey i was just wondering if their was a program that allowed for a customizable dock like OSx has on the touch without having to load a new rom. i think it would be really nice just to be able to assign programs to it kind of like the program tab on the touchflo 3d just having it at the bottom of the today screen
any help is appreciated

Never heard of anything like that, but there is a program call mac flo you can find it here. http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=17995 I haven`t tried out this new version yet so i dunno if its working now or not.

i had seen that before and thats not quite what im looking for im looking for more of a plugin for the Today screen for it rather than something that replaces the cube
but thank you for the input

Too buggy...not enough features and definitlely not worth 14.99 considering there are 'free' solution here that are much more feature packed...sorry ...try again go back to the drawing board.
too much memory usage and no way to really close it without soft reset.
bug, bugs, bugsssss
Afther 20 minutes of configuring.....bug
Again 15 minutes of configuring.........again a bug
They want have me tree times....for 14.99$....this is not worth it.
Its just a rip off of htc cube. Im surprise this company is getting away with selling this since it is so close to htc's cube. Besides Between Byka's and slithers cubes. we are all good.
Not many touch flo solutions for us TyTN Hermes users though... I've been up and down this board today and yesterday tring to get something that works and is easy... TouchFLO alpha 4 and real cube isnt bad but it has to run with the flash lite program, and swiching between scrolling and launching with touch flow is rather annoying... very small icon to tap to switch, and its right next to my connection profile.
If someone can show me an easier way to get something similar to this on a Hermes I'd be glad to try. Because yes this version does suck...
My 8125 worked perfect with TNT's touch flow rom and cube... I miss that.

um seems you haven't tried the non-alpha release ..here lemme point you in the right direction:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=338143 and try byka's cube or the solution from the whoneedsaniphone folks
I will try that procedure again with 1.3 hotfix... IIRC i already had that combination installed and it just didnt seem to work right...

Agree with ljinsane, after twenty mins of testing the app, I ran touch flo and it broke the app., exception error and even after a SR and touch flo not running it would not start again.
also found it very slow, much prefer PocketCm and Byka's Cube.
I rather use my rom...

It works great, you can edit your links on Touchcommander, and i linked it to FTouchFlo so when i use DownUp it starts Touchcommander, ist just like having the real thing.....
is it still have a lot of bugs or no?? is it same application with slither have? the ftuchflo?
it really sux...it looks ugly...maybe its better with this nice animations, but right now its only 0815...
This Touch Commander app is lame.. but I'm sure it will get better with revisions. I personally like the open and close transitions from and to the today screen, something you can't achieve with Flash Cube imitations.
New version Touch Commander 3.0
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=375111
I havent figured out a fix but this version TC3 seems to interfere with Ultimate Launcher's gestures unlike the previous version of TouchCommander!
Anyone have a fix?
MM
HELP!!!
I purchased the 3.0 and it has soooooo many bugs and things I didn't wan that just sucked the life out of my device like battery indicator and htc home screen ect.....then I downloaded the new 3.1 which said it fixed the bugs I had complained about but didnt and in fact made my device crash so I had to hard reset. How I was suggested by their customer support to download an ealier version so I downloaded 2.0. It is exactly what I wanted and I am so happy but now I cannot register it. My registration code doesn't work for the 2.0.
My question to all of you on here is if anyone is interested in switching registration codes???? I will give you this code for 3.0 which also works for 3.1 if you give me your code for 2.0. I have contacted their support asking them for one with no response. I need this ASAP!!! Thanks and just shoot me a message if your interested!!!

Touchflo is "dead"

Hey guy.
First of all i would like to thank you all, for a great forum. I used it alot to tweak my niki, but now i ran into some really anoying problems for the first time.
Earlier today i made a hard-reset, and then installed all my apps again, to get rid of some of the bad apps I had testet.
Then i tried to customice my touchflo cube, with a new "skin" with some new functionaliti.
But i pretty much just f.... up the cube, and now i cant use it.
I cant slide to the left an right, and sometimes i cant even activatet it by sliding my finger upwards. Is there ANY possible way for me to install the original cube again. I would really prefer to avoid a hard-reset. I just used all day, to get a nice config on everything on the phone.
Cheers everybody.

Some questions and problems with Touch HD :)

I got my Touch HD a few weeks ago and I must say its a helluva upgrade from my old Qtek 9100 :up:
I have a few questions/problems here:
Im used to using Today Agenda on my 9100 so I wonder if there is a way to edit TF3D so I can see lots more calender days on the home screen of TF3D? I also wonder regarding this, I would like to edit the TF3D home screen so its more optimised so the calender takes most of the space. Or is there a way to get Todays Agenda to work with TF3D? Im really missing all my calender stuff cause it isnt shown days in advance.. Damn I missing lots of birthdays since I got the Touch HD =)
Another question, is there a way to get the TF3D task manager icon in the right upper corner always show? Now it only shows now and then, would be much faster/effective if it was always there (aside from fullscreen programs that is)
I would also like to be able to remove the Operator information at the top of the TF3D home screen, it just feels unnecessary and just takes away space from my "want to be there" calenders
EDIT: got some new questions now
I cant get email to work, I type in my login information for Windows Live, the same as I always use when I logon Messenger and Hotmail and they dont work in the Live in the Touch HD, what can be wrong?
I want to be able to hear digital radio stations and I cant get anyone to work. Since the built in radio SUCKS, very hard to get a decent quality so I want to listen to swedish radio on teh intarweb instead
I tried different kind of streaming, none works :/
here is a few Ive tried:
http://www.sr.se/sida/artikel.aspx?artikel=2260956&programid=2321 (swedish Im afraid)
http://www.di.fm/
www.htchradio.com
Ive tried Coreplayer, Built in Media Player and Streaming Media. I cant get it to work... Anyone got any ideas?
Anyone? Seems like everyone else gets all their streaming stuff working
noone to help with more calender days on the home screen of TF3D? It's really a big issue to me.
same for me! Thats a big part of having a smart phone /PDA, that you can have full control of your calender and see in 20+ days whats happening...
Try "Second Today" for "Today Agenda"
I used the "Today Agenda" program before
and it's a good software.
To keep using it, I install "Second Today" program
for it. It helps to enjoy the pros of TF3D & "Today Agenda"
AH perfect! It works like a charm :up:
I can finally have lovely Todays Agenda and with another wallpaper to! :drool:
Thank you very much for suggesting this

Looking for a few more things...

I just got the TP2 for USCC last week. (WM6.5) I haven't used WM in about 2 years and am pretty dissapointed to find a lot of the same issues that were present then. I used to be a fairly competent WM user with above average knowledge in registry editing, ROM flashing, etc but most of what I used to use seems to have changed. So far I have found the fixes for the sms sent notification and the organization of the contact list by last name, first to first, last.
I've been all over these forums and cannot find a fix to disable the onscreen keyboard from auto-popping...ever. Also, in the sound settings menu, there is a slider to adjust ringer volume and another to adjust system volume yet these two don't work independently. I want system volume loud for hearing things like my IM app that runs in the background yet have the ringer volume lower as it's over bearing on full.
Something else I have noticed is that some settings menus appear to be there but not functioning. For instance, under settings>all settings>today there is a 2nd tab for items that does not change from the appearance tab. I've notice several menu's like this throughout the phone. It seems like there are things that other versions of WM may have had that this doesn't or simply that Microsoft/HTC got lazy in the initial release and either did not remove tabs that were not intended to be there or forgot to finish some that should. Just wondering if anyone has some insight into this.
I'm also looking for a good free IM client. I've seen many apps across these forums but with so many out there, it's hard to find the right one for me. I refuse to pay $45 for Agile messenger (although I've seen hacked versions but I would prefer not to deal with that). It's a decent app, not great but decent but $45 for a very simple app is outrageous. So, I found Slick ( http://slick.en.softonic.com/windowsmobile ) which is a free app and works great! The only feature it is missing that I liked about Agile is a notification (similar to the annoying sms message sent notification that I removed) while the app is in standby. Does anyone know of another free IM app that is simple and has that feature? I only use Google Talk and have noticed some apps specifically for that but there are so many to try, I'm hoping someone has a good recommendation to save me some time.
The last thing I'm curious about pertains to Manila. I see Manila all over these forums. I've done some reading on it and have a good understanding of what manila is. But, it's very confusing as some thread talk about reflashing ROMS for it and others talk about installing cabs over your current rom for it. Does anyone have a link to a good thread(s) that will explain things more clearly so I can make an educated decision on the best way to try this out? A, Manila for Dummies, if you will.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Edit: It looks like the "Manila" Touch Flo design is incorporated in WM 6.5 on my device already? Is this mainly the custom tabs located at the bottom of the today screen?

There's an option to disable "Auto Deploy SIP" in Advanced Configuration Tool.

First of all, TF3D/TouchFlo3d, Manila, or Sense are essentially the same thing. It's a skin designed by HTC to cover up WinMo. You may say it's actualy just a very elaborate Today screen plugin. Since it takes up the whole screen, you would not be able to add other items.

See above for a crude definition. There are many versions, so that's why there's so much discussion in these forums about them. People are trying to use versions that didn't come stock with their devices.
TF2D or Manila 2D - for budget devices like the Touch Vivo, Touch Cruise, etc
TF3D v1 - originally came on the Touch Diamond and Touch Pro
TF3D v2- came with the Touch Diamond 2 and our Touch Pro2.
TF3D v2.1 - came with the release of the official WinMo 6.5 ROM for the Touch Diamond2 and our Touch Pro2. Identifiable with the weather under the clock in the Home tab.
TF3D v2.5 - came with the release of the Touch HD2. Has customizable shortcuts on the Home tab, revamped People tab, coverflow-like Pictures tab and Music tab when in landscape, and other goodies.
Btw, going forward, you may want to list out what you're asking in bullet point form. Most people are put off by long essay-like posts. You'll get more responses if your post is clear and short.

I was just using that particular option as an example of a menu that is present but cannot be accessed.

That actually clears it up quite a bit. So it appears that my CDMA TP2 with USCC is actually 2.1 or 2.5? I see you stated our TP2 is is 2.1 but your description of 2.5 seems to fit my phone. Either way, it looks like I can just addon on any Manila Cabs that customize the home screen more as Manila is already installed?

Sorry about that, I was reading though forums for about 2 hours after the bar last night when I typed all of that. I tend to get a bit winded when I'm intoxicated.

Where else are there menu options that doesn't look like they belong? Anyway, if there are, then it's because of Microsoft and not HTC. We're on WinMo is on version 6.5 now, but it really hasn't changed much since I first used a pocket PC back in 2000.

Certainly, there are components that are possible to install via cabs. But often, you'll need to flash a ROM with the particular build of Manila that you want to get those features.
So just to clear this up, if something is made for TF3D v2, it should (or might) work with our CDMA TP2 running the stock @M6.5 rom?
Also, anyone have a fix for the keyboard thing? I remembered the name of the cab i used to use, null keyboard but can't find anything that works with this rom. I've tried a few reg edits that have not worked.

It should, yes. However, if you have a TP2 with WM 6.5 you most likely have Manila 2.1 (in my case 2.1.191937). If you go to the Settings tab and scroll down, you should be able to see which version you have. That being said, many cabs work on all versions, a good few has to have a more specific version (like 2.0, 2.1 or 2.5) and a mere handful needs to be spot on (e.g. 2.1.1717).
After installing such a CAB you often need to restart your TF3D/Manila/Sense, and to do so you go to Start > Settings > Today and tick off HTC Sense. Tap OK and go back in to tick the HTC Sense box again. That restarts your TF3D.
Hope that made sense.
Thx for the clarification, I think I'm ready to start customizing this thing! I'm a bit hesitant as I really like alot of the features that come with the stock home screen. My last windows device was the 8125 and I modded the **** out of that home screen but this one I simply want to add a few highlights without loosing the over all look.
One thing I have been curious about is if there is a way to put a google search bar under the calendar. I know Google apps will put one up but then I have to go to my programs tab and open google apps so I might as well just eliminate a step and open opera.
I haven't checked to be honest with you, but I am satisfied with moving the internet tab a few notches closer to the home screen tab. I find that to be quick and easy enough! One tab on the tab and the google search is at the top of the screen.
Thanks for all the help! You gave me the tools I needed to dive back in. I understand the differences in Manila's now as I've flashed about 5 or 6 different roms. 2.5 is slick in theory, especially when Dusk Evolution v2.0 is theme is added but I had to return to 2.1. Thanks again for the help to get me started.
Im client look at PalRingo.. it's pretty awesome and covers most major networks (yahoo, MSN, gmail, facebook chat, icq others.
Yes, that's what I currently use. Kind of an old thread now too. I've come a long way since I started this thread.

Program Tab & Other Questions

Thinking of getting the HD2 in the new year. I managed to try one today at phone shop but have a few questions for current owners.
Does the interface have the Programs Tab like the one in the Diamond2 - I didnt see this on the shop one.
I know you can't use a fingernail to swipe, but using a fingertip worked good - is this consistent with all the apps?
The background weather animation looks cool but can this be disabled as needed?
Many thanks for your help!
