Hi
I have grown to love TouchFlo on my TP2. I used to run SPB mobile 3 on my xperia but on my TP2 TouchFlo wins hands down.
My only gripe is the weather app. On SPB mobile 3, the weather app showed a breakdown of the forecast for the day i.e. morning, afternoon, evening and night. I used to find this really useful. ON TF3D, it just shows a general forecast for the whole day with no breakdown. I really miss this function.
I know I could install a 3rd party weather app that might do this but I would really love to incorporate it into the weather tab in TF3D. Is there any way to do this?
Thanks for any help.

That would be a nice feature to have. But I think it's too hard to modify manila to show the weather like that. Or is it??

will dash weather work on wm6.1. I don't need the weather showing all the time.
I don't like the way the other weather apps change the clock panel.
its always worked on and off for me whether it was 6 or 6.1 . sometimes it could fetch the weather and sometimes it couldnt...i found no sort of pattern to give me a hint as to what the issue was. the data connection was always established. but one minute the update would work and the next it wouldnt. so i stopped using it. i just use fizz now.
If you don't want homescreen weather, then another good one that always worked good for me is Weather Watcher.
thanks! weather watcher works great for what i need...
Yes its a good program.
I'm using Miri's wm6.5 V12 premium ROM and in the manila calendar there's the weather situation integrated when one goes to the "today" or one of the following days.
Does anyone know where the location for the weather is taken from? My home location in the world clock? Or does it somehow notice if I have in a calendar appointment some other city mentioned?
(well, I could play with this myself now too, wanted just to ask if anyone would have a quick answer ready...)
Secondly... I prefer the manila over the fuggly wm6.5 start menu - haven't tried titanium - but from what I've seen, it would actually e very nice to have on the manila home page the flip clock minimised and then having the calendar weather integrated on the home page - for the locations what I have in the calendar entries....
Does anyone know such a theme that would have this configured?! Even starting always with the minimised clock would be a start.
I wouldn't start hassling around with the manila editor just by me for starters...
Any ideas? I tried to browse the themes people have published here, but none of them had this "weather on the manila home page" idea.

Well, the first question I can then answer immediately myself. Apparently the weather is taken from the location I have in the world clock as "local".
Now the challenge would be to integrate this on the home page.

Now I know touchFlo 3D isn't customizable (yet), but there are many difference's between the versions 2.1 and 2.5.
So what should TouchFlo 3D have? Since my immagination isn't so great and to keep it realistic my preferred version is a combination of what is available today:
Start screen with weather and apps/contact/bookmark/widget list like in TF3D 2.5.
The Contact list from the 2.5 version. Scrolling through you favorite contacts in the 2.1 version just isn't convinient.
The same message tab, but the message application from the 2.1 version. The 2.5 version has the option to instantly change you message in a mms. Also adding the contact you want to send it to isn't convinient. It comes up with email adresses. If I wanted to send an email I would have picked: write email. NExt to that the 2.5 version is slow when it comes to text messaging. (ofcourse the 2.5 version isn't ready yet).
Email as it is with both version. (in the email app, they should delete the wiping feature, because scrolling sideways is irritating have to press the "enable scrolling" text). Just put the option go to next/prvious message in the menu.
Calander app as in version 2.5. I noticed I didn't even use the other calander views then month and day, but the agenda view sometimes did came inhandy.
The internet tab should be as in 2.5, where you can see the preload pages, but it should work with opera. As nowe I am able to set opera as default, but the preload pages still don't work.
The weather tab is ok. I'd like to tap on the sepperate days and see the morning, day, evening forecast.
The music tab in 2.5 is great. The same for the media (video and pics) tab. But it's all just a bit to sloppy. It should be really fast to be convinient.
The stock tab, for me I don't use it. But it seems ok to me.
Ofcourse this all should work in landscape. 2.5 doesn't work very well in landscape.
One more feature I would like to build in is an easy way to make apps like twitter/facebook/gps navigation/office/messenger work withing TF3D. Each with individual tabs. Maybe you get to much tabs, but then there should be a way to make a second layer with apps. Like a messaging tab. When you slided over there a new slider comes a available with the general slider minimizing. There you can slide between skype/msn messenger/ twitter etc.
This would require a lot of memory though.
So what do you think?
What would make touchflo better? What features should be added?
the worst shortcoming of touchflo3d is that its desktop cannot be cusomized.
this is very pitty indeed,those designers are dumb....
I like your tab within tab idea. It would be great to have a PIM tab. Inside would be sub-tabs for calendar, tasks and notes. Probably just wishful thinking though. But anyway, I'm not terribly bothered with what we've got so far.
I've had my Desire for some time already and although I love it there's something that really bothers me and it's the 4x1 calendar widget. I find it the best for the main home screen but it's just useless. Most of the time it doesn't show the event that should be showing and it shows something later in time (it doesn't confuse the date, it just misses what's in between).
I've managed to get it back to normal several times after restarting the phone and/or resetting the application but it either takes very long or I can't remember the sequence of things to do to make it work again. It's a pain in the ass.
I've seen other open threads about problems with that widget but most of them are quite old and without real solutions. Of the proposed alternatives I found all of them quite ugly, frankly.
Is there a solution to the built-in problem or a widget that looks similar?
Smooth calendar widget

I have just jumped ship from Smooth Calendar to Small Agenda Widget. In 4x1 it just beats Smooth by showing 4 lines not 3.
Jorte has every size of widget you can imagine.
Thanks, guys! I think I'll go for Smooth Calendar. With the HTC-style mod that is around there it looks quite similar to the default one and reasonably decent-looking. Let's see if HTC brings something out to improve it.
Hey World, does anyone know if there is a way to get the HTC notes widget to work on Launcher Pro. My wife is an avid notes taker and really liked that widget. I recently put launcher pro on there cause she liked how you can expand the home screen to hold more apps. If anyone knows of a way or maybe another widget that can flip pages like the HTC widget that would be cool. I've looked all over the market.
Anything sense = sense only.
If you really searched the market I have to believe you did not read.
I searched for notes widget, scrolled down twice and found an app called simple notes. It cycles the notes on the widget when you press the crease. I know this because 1. I read the app description and 2. I tried it.
There I did your work for you. Now go install it on your wifes phone and tell her you found it all on your own.
