TOUCH UI

has anyone started work on getting the new HTC touch UI onto othere devices?

Hope so... I also want it...

yes I'm waiting too.
TouchFLO - if we can take this option to our model, that's cool.
and I thought someboy will sone this job vry soon.

Simple example
I've made a simple first version of the HCT Touch UI, based on one or two pictures I saw on the internet.
I made it in Wisbar Advance Desktop, just a fix docking background for the color and lines and then placed 6 few icons on it...

It is a start. Also a Comm Manager has been done in this format.
It can be downloaded elsewhere if you google or you can find it in the WM6-Hermes forum.

Hi!
Here you can see some interesting videos of the gui, quite interesting: http://www.theunwired.net/index.php?itemid=3899
Is there any shipped devices with this functionality on the market yet?
Regards,
PK

there is a software called SPB mobile shell which is almost similar to this

there's lots of software which can do this (like WAD). but the looks we have to make ourselves. problem is there are not that much pictures yet of the HTC Touch...

I'd love to have Touch UI working on my Artemis, and then probably on future HTC devices as well.

FlowFX by Aspecto Software similar to TouchFLO on HTC Touch?!

Hello,
Since I'm not experienced with programming for windows mobile I have big wish on you guys.
I love the idea/technic how the GUI on HTC Touch works and hope it will be possible on my HTC Hermes one day too.
When I installed the newest version of WiFiFoFum I realized a great flipping effect between pages in this tool. Now I have even seen that the author of this program gives away the source code (http://www.aspecto-software.com/rw/applications/developer/flowfx/index.html).
Hope somebody can make us Cube GUI for any windows mobile device (at least for HTC Hermes )

your link is broken, the link is: http://www.aspecto-software.com/rw/applications/developer/flowfx/index.html
But i second this idea, i downloaded the demo, SOOO COOL tho i want it for the herald

thanks for the info. I've updated the link.

Yea this would be too cool!

could this transition be used perhaps with wisbar to go between desktop screens?
that would be pretty hot...

ok soooooo
wife wants to know how much I have to donate to get this to flip pictures instead of forms?

This would be perfect for rlToday and cLaunch.

Manila 3d on Touch?

Hi folks,
i saw some threads in the development section for manila 2d (which really looks cool). I'm wondering if this works on my HTC Touch!? I'm also not sure if there is a cab install version available - or is a rom flash needed (don't want to do that again...)
has anybody already some experiance with manila 2d?
thanks for any information!

you'll notice that there's a thread a few posts down with the Title "touchFLO 2D on ELF" this is the same thing as Manila 2D. It's a simple cab install and works just fine.

Just try it you will love it.

Looks good, but it doesn't work as it should. On my Elfin Audio Mgr 2 doesn't start, system runs veeery slowly even after uninstalling TF2D (hard reset helps) and cable is causing system freeze :/

just tried it and it really looks cool! It works without any problems...
Sad thing is, that its not working together with any other today plugins...

Touchflow 3D
I also have some problems with this panel, after I installed it to my Xperia I have serious problems, it's look great but it's very slow and after open a few other panels my phone just block, I've to reset the Xperia and then I can go on, so I deside to uninstall it but now way it stay's, and after looking in my installed programms it is gone??? I can't uninstall it and I suppose that the only sollution could be a factory restore. I'ts a pitty it don't work like it should be cause I find it a great interface so if anyone could give us some advise they're welcome. I did install the second little program tf3d_panel but even that bring it to full speed and error free

Atharia,
Just as nobody has replied and I don't want you to be left in the dark
Have you checked anything in the blackstone forum? That would be a more appropriate place for you to be searching. I understand you may have search for HTC Touch, and that would probabaly be why you came here.
On the other hand though, I think you're phone may actually come with what had been ported to this phone - don't quote me on that but I am sure that it had touchflo as standard?

HTC Home plugin on HD

I really miss today plugins and having second today is inconvenient. so would be possible to install old htc home plugin? I read that it completely freezes phone, any solutions?

Have you had a look at Manilla Control? I'm not sure if it's running on the HD (but it runs on the Diamond, so it should be fine) but it lets you have a standard Today screen and Manilla and swap between them with a simple sweep gesture.

Maybe this should help:

Does not work. DO NOT INSTALL it on HD unless you want to hard reset.

Absolutely work PERFECTLY on TIM ITA branded models, maybe you've installed something else wrong

I'm proud to prove what I've posted:

Hello!
I'm using a french version of HTC HD and also looking for HTC Home plugin.
The only one I've got to work have a really to small display.
If I had to hard reset like mcano annouces it I prefer not to try this version!!!!
Is there another solution?

Thanks Vysus , I tried it ...but didn't work on the french HTC HD

Sorry for you, my friend
Maybe you've pre-installed something else that causes a conflict with the plugin. I repeat: it works perfectly, as you can see...

HTC Blackstone TIM ITA: work

Thnx my friend, I thought I was the only one to have it working

Instead you could disable HTC TF3D and use MobileShell 2
It combines both. Features from TF3D and todayscreen plugin with programs/weather/contacts aso. Also it´s skinable. There are skins that are looking quite as tf3d - but much better favorite contacts.
It´s worth a look

[Q] Got new Touch HD - Now what?

Hello to all,
I took the plunge today and despite being very very tempted at getting myself an iphone 3g I decided to get myself a Touch HD. Been spending a few days reading about the Touch HD and it sounds great. Must say I love the look and feel of it, although it's a little on the wide side for my hand.
This is my first WinMo ever and I'm very lost at what to do. I like to tweak and around a mess with my windows installation on my pc, but I just don't know where to start with the Touch HD.
It may sound kind of stupid, but I decided that what's probably best for me is to start this thread (of course after having done a search to see that no other similar thread already exist) and to ask you guys to share some of the things that you first did to your Touch HD when you got it. ie. What are the first few things to do to improve/enhance the experience with the phone.
Thank you all in advance and looking forward to your replies.
PS. English isn't my first language so I apologize if I'm being unclear or if I'm being repetitive.

Grats on the purchase. Where did you buy it from?
That's some fine English for it not being your first language.

Hi, I'm in the same boat as you, although I've had my HD for a few days now. I'm just getting to grips with it, and am now at the point where I feel like I should play around with ROMs. Haven't a clue where to start though, but have had a good read of the wiki.
Good luck with it, and enjoy it.

Welcome to HD world !
Here is my list of applications: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3117017&highlight=secondtoday#post3117017
As a long-term PocketBreeze user (I assume you know about Today Plugins?) I found the restriction of TF3D to be irritating. If you don't know, TF3D will not allow any other today plugins to run.
But, SecondToday is great - this gives you a second today screen on which you can run any number of plugins.
Also, for me a big help, is AEB+ for mapping buttons.
I also have lots of tweaks to the TF3D setup - see the app list in the thread above.
Good luck and enjoy !

Take a look at the apps and themes forum.
That's a good place to start at...

Welcome.... here is my list of apps...

Got my Touch HD ~a week ago, my second Win Mo device.
First I would recommend installing a different rom, I went with Duttys 1.7 rom, my HD got a nice performance boost, the Wiki here explains how to do this.
After that I configured all the settings to my liking.
Installed all HTC Fixes.
Then I browsed the Themes and software forum for the blackstone, after awhile I have these installed on my HD:
- HD Tweak (a must have with the HD imo, customize the HD even further and access lots of other tweaks)
- Advanced Configuration Tool 3.2 (pretty much the same as above^)
- Diamond D3D driver (speed up the graphics for the HD)
- Diamond Saber (fun wnb-a-jedi lightsaber software)
- FInixNOverBatteryIcon (Replace the original battery icon with a color changing one and showing the load %)
- Gyrator 2 (rotate the screen when you rotate your HD)
- IPC Black Dialer (black phone application theme)
- IPC black Calculator (black calc theme)
- MyLostBlog MyStopWatch (great stopwatch software)
- Navigon 7 (GPS navigation)
- Tnyynt SD TuneUP (make the HD faster, can't remember how though )
- TouchResponse (vibrates the HD everytime you touch the screen, very useful)
- Weather Database Editor (add your own city to the weather tab)
+ some theme customization and such
Noticed also some great apps in other posts here, thanks for the tips

Wow this forum is certainly very active and helpful.
Thank you guys so much, I'm going to start working on my HD later tonight after I finish work (yeah it's a Sunday and I still have to work )
@ModernMuseum I'm from Lao PDR and I bought it here in Laos, though from the looks of it I think the phone is actually from Italy or something since the user manual is in Italian (or so it seems) and no English manual at all.
PS. any further comments/suggestions/sharing of experience are still welcome

Please can you give me the link for wiki on how to install duttys 1.7 rom? Will I lose everything that's installed on my HTC HD if I install a new rom?
Also, do you only ever install 1 rom at a time, or can you have more than one? Sorry if that's a really stupid question...
Thank you.

Yes you will lose all your data, only 1 rom can be installed at a time.
These should get you going:

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blackstone_Flash3

Check out the list of ROMs available if you want something other than Dutty's ROM . There are many to choose from. Also before you do any modifications, install HSPL or USPL if you want to do any ROM flashing, since you can flash as many times as you want, but not have more than one ROM on.
