Hello.
Is there any way to obtain the TouchFLO usability from the new HTC Touch, into Universal? I don't think there are any hardware changes as to how the screen handles finger moves and clicks.
Maybe any plans on a new WM6 Rom for Universal that might support it?
If yes, would it be the whole Touch interface, including dark gray apearance, etc?
Thanks people.
EDIT: Just read about the first TouchFlo Rom (Ivan i Think), but there is lack of feedback as for the usability of the Touch feature, or the dark grey today theme/caller apearance... Any help?
there are hardware changes
Yep, the hardware of HTC touch is different which enables it to do some 'gestures' on the screen. So, all we can 'taste' is the today plugin which it uses
Thank you both for your responses. Midlet, I have user your ROMs before.
However, I don't understand what the changed might be, since "drag n' drop" finger actions are possible in Universal or any other PPC (for example, using the finger to move an icon in some other place, on "Spb Pocket Plus Today Plugin"...
Any specific info on Why "HTC Touch" is different (apart from the LCD protective material which -just a guess- may be a little more matte, in order for the finger to easily move on it) on this device?
Still, I can't figure out why a finger gesture needs extra/changed hardware. I would understand it if it accepted more than one touches at the same time, but this?...
Thanks...

Hi
I have one htc p3600 with wm6 and the ROM is 2.0.8.0 Radio is 1.41.00.11 the Protocol version is 32.74.7020.18H and liked to know if he is possivel to place the Touch Flo program who comes in the HTC Touch and if this will go to run without problems.
It likes to place skin or the program that comes with htc touch with the 3 separators and the big clock… I dont know if it explains me well…

Thank you very much for your response
Any ideas guys?
Hi,
this is a Hermes Rom with elements of Touch.
wfg
Starbase64
think this is the newest one,
someone correct me if i'm wrong

But the Cube in this video is is full 3D with contact's picture real time rendering....
And how about scrolling Settings & Programs with a finger? My FTouchFlo doesn't do that
Look similar to Slither2006's HTC Cube OpenGL (SCLPC++ 0-051)(Coded from scratch in C++) , perhaps?
My opinion is, that this is only usage of existing elements ported from Touch and Kaiser - S2U2, HTC Home, FTouchFLO + SCLPC++, Pocket CM Contacts etc.
For me is also FTouchFlo working with finger, it is about correct gesture a presure. Using all these features except Pocket CM and it is working similar.
On this preview is missing f.e. HTC Large Start Menu and other minor portations as Random Access...
Very Cool !
I must say the customisations this guy showed off in the video are super cool. I havent seen this version of the cube anywhere. Not sure how he was using the full page scroll function and other smooth animations either. Wish there was some way of contacting the chap who posted it to ask him what applications he was using.
Anyone with any knowledge please enlighten us !
Cheers.

I've installed it today... Looks great but the configuration is horrible
Hi,
I raised this question in another thread in this forum, but I think this deserves it's own thread, particularly for new users seeking a SIP for the Touch HD.
Could you please list other Keyboard / SIP's you are using with are WVGA compatible and support a DPAD ?
It's something I'm really struggling to find and I'm surprised there aren't any threads on it in this forum. I assume most of you are using the HTC standard one, but it would be good to hear recommendations (and perhaps your personalised skins) of other SIPs out there.
Thanks
Dark Knight
The fundamental problem here with SIP based DPads is that the phone isnt multi-touch so you cant do Up & Left at the same time for example. I am working on a G-Sensor based solution (see Virtual DPad thread) which works for some apps/games.
I can appreciate there may be a few applications that function better with multitouch with a DPAD. And it's probbably a standard need on games.
But how about just plain ole' Up/Down/Left/Right in an App.
Are there no other alternative SIP's out there ?
Touchpal have a virtual dpad and for my taste the best sip for Touch HD.

Hi DK, the app I use most frequently is Excel, so I wanted the same as you: a simple SIP with 4-way direction keys to navigate between cells. I tried all the keyboards out there and settled on Resco Keyboard Pro because it's skinnable. Link below has dozens of skins but I made my own in a couple of hours (based on ZoomBoard which is also pretty good) adding the arrow keys for Excel and my most frequently used punctuation for sms:

looks really great. can you post a link? because i can't find it on the resco-site.
Any chance you could place a cab of your skin? That's the best skin I've seen so far for the resco keyboard pro! I would love to have it!
Gotta say, since the recommendation in this thread, I've been loving TouchPal. It's very slick, looks very Manilla and supports additional functions with gestures (e.g. Press and Hold vs. Press and Drag Left / Right/ Up / Down).
However, my wifey was used to my old PocketCM keyboard, so I still want to use this SIP.
I've found that the standard PCM Keyboard in v0.21 scales well for WVGA. I'm seeking better skins for it though..

i too would be grateful if you could share your skin. i like resco, but need the virtual dpad.
I agree
no one wants to comment on the hd keyboard. I posted two replies on dutty's ROM series and one on Laurentius's thread. I just wanted to get a screen shot or some information on the keyboard. You know, one thing I saw is that Laurentius had a guy custom make EZinput in WVGA specifically for his ROM and they are not releasing to anyone I don't guess. But, I installed his ROM and didn't see any kind of good keyboard on it. I did see a blue "keyboard" but it sure wasn't wvga. Has anyone else installed either of these ROMs and experience something else? I really don't like the placement of the space bar in the landscape keyboard, otherwise i like the stock keyboard, i feel like the landscape keyboard could use the space a little better by placing the directional buttons on the bottom 4th row along with a newly placed space bar. I have tried PocketCM .14 with this skin I found. I think its for vga because it doesn't look too good and doesn't fill up the whole screen, its also grainy and doesn't have a dot on the keyboard, that is a very highly used button when you are using opera or txt, email or anything really. Ill post a screen shot of the landscape.
Guys,
I've been in conversation (over PM) with HTC Toucher. Hopefully, you'll be familiar with his many excellent Keyboard Designs.
I'm hoping he'll be able to develop something for PCM Keyboard v0.21+ in for the Touch HD (this version seems to have better support for WVGA).
I've pointed him to this thread and just hope he'll be able to develop something for us.
If a skin is released that skin is released that supports the Touch HD come out, please think about his efforts to do this just for us (he doesn't have a WVGA device) and consider donating to him.
Finger crossed!
Cheers,
Dark Knight
Thanks for this one! just downloaded and will test it hard core
updated
I found out that this pocketcm keybord and skin i found actually does have a way to use commas and periods from the main screen u just tap and hold the symbol buttons for a few of the most used symbols. although it doesnt have d pads, the ezinput does, I found out that the ezinput keyboard was the stock keyboard that I spoke of before. It does have dpads on both portrait and landscape. and its availble with most roms dutty and laurentius.
@blacksage - Could you post your skin here ?
I've messed around with the layout with 0.14 from yesteryear and I'm sure it would be possible to add DPAD to unused keys.
ive got a few things here
Ive attached the keyboard cab that I am using which is version .14, Ive tried the newer ones and I didn't get them to work nearly as well. I also attached a zip file containing three files. Two of them are .skin files to be placed in the program files/pcmkeyboard folder and the other one is a layout file that you should also put into the same folder program files/pcmkeyboard. You can try both skins with the standard default layout or change the layout from english to "eng most used" or something like that in pcm keyboard settings. I think I like them but, like you said you might be able to use that side space that is the difference between vga and wvga I believe. The main thing I like about it, is that the space bar is in the proper location. I think it could also use a little less vertical spacing to free up screen space in landscape. The alternate layout gives a period and comma on the main screen, I like that configuration better, but don't like the way that one sort of changes the layout of the keyboard in steps. Also I posted a screen shot of the landscape keyboard I had with Ezinput, just to make sure you have seen it. It has dpads in both portrait and landscape, kind of sounds like what everybody is after, just not me. I think it came stock with mine and also available with at least laurentius's ROM and maybe dutty's. Its nice for some, just not good for speed typists like me, lol. Also, I was thinking, you know the space that the pcm keyboard leaves out on the sides?, I'm not so sure that it would make a good place for standard typing keys, because of the weird stretch that you have to sort of do to get the the very edge of the touch screen while holding the device in landscape; sort of look at it and tell me what you guys think. I'm sure it would make a great place for dpads and other cool buttons! Let me know what you like and dislike and what you plan to do about it!

NICE!!!
possible past in layot only navigation buttons?
