Managed to get Touch Flo working tonight (between 5&6am), i am using Shadow as ROM, the steps i completed are as follows:
Install Instructions
1) install touchflo and softreset
2) Delete the bio.lnk in Windows/startup
3) Delete the reg file in HKLM/Software/HTC/Biotouch/Biotouch ver
4) Map Touchflo to any free button
5) Softreset
6) Start touchflo, then go to Windows folder and start Biotouch.exe
(These are exactly the steps i took, i dont know anything else, these just worked for me and i posted them in the hope they might work for someone else!!)
Usage Instructions
1) Press the hardware button you specified to start toughflo
2) Press the hardware button you specified to rotate the cube
3) Press the red call end button to stop it and get back to the main screen
If there are any hangs, uninstall TouchFlo and start again
There are 2 irritating things (very minor!!!)
1) Cant be used with finger like real touchflo i.e. cannot drag finger up to launch or down to exit (yet!!)
2) The hardware button rotates the screen as well as starting touchflo, this might not sould like much but, for example, if the last screen you were looking at was the Music/Photos/Videos page and you pressed the red call end button to get out of TouchFlo, and you want to go back to the Music/Photos/Videos page, you will press the hardware button to start TouchFlo, but at the same time as starting it, it also rotates the screen so it is on the page after the last page you were using, resulting in needing to press the hardware button once to start TouchFlo and twice more to get back to the screen you left off at.
As i said these are minor but this should work for now untill it is properly sorted out
Enjoy
Regards
hey
i will mod my cab and release a beta once i confirm its working.

Awesome work guys, all of you cannot be thanked enough. It's a thankless job sometimes, but this ain't one of them! Keep it up

i have done no modification to your alpha cab, i followed some instructions i found on your other site and they didnt work for me, black screens, massively slowed down Shadow, so i did it slightly differently and it worked first time, nice and fast and everything seems to be working!!!
As i said i am using your Shadow rom, no mods, my own software installed thru cabs, and using the instructions detailed above
I must say thanks to you for releasing the alpha for me to play with!!!
Thanks again JJ
P.S. is it ok to PM you i have afew questions that are off topic here!!

OK, this all sounds promising, but are you saying that you still cannot use your finger to do anything? That everything still needs to be done via buttons? Can you use your finger to scroll thru lists? Its progress that it is working at least, but isn't being able to use your finger the whole point? Or perhaps I'm misunderstanding you.

Dude,
First Point: it is 6:36am i have been messing with this thing since 4am, i have a disertation to research and im taking time out to do this, everyone on almost every forum(Trinity, Wizard, Hermes, other sites etc etc) wants this working, and we have it!!!
Second Point: This is an ALPHA RELEASE that basically means it only works sometimes, i have sat here installed checked it works, flashed my f'ing phone with the Shadow ROM, so there was nothing there that could possible help this work and installed it again.
Third Point: Yes the idea is that you use your finger for everything, but as the second point states this is an ALPHA, later releases will have this im surebut for now i appologise for not sorting that but im tired, y dont you try and get it working with your finger? (that wasnt ment to sound perverse but it does!!!)
i keep getting the black screen no graphics? please help ?

i think the thing you will find with this is the fact that this is deoendant on the ROM used too!! i cannot provide support for this i dont really know the ins and outs of it, i just posted what i did to get it to work!!!
the official link for problems and developing is here:
http://www.4winmobile.com/forums/htc-hermes/10127-touchflo-alpha-testing-discussion.html
if you read this it seems that the functionality of this is very dependant on the ROM

i just got it to work with Black Shadow.. but a few hours ago i installed Shap's rom and i installed touch flo and it worked perfectly, i didn't had to delete any keys or go into /windows folder or any of that stuff with schap's rom
another thing* for those of you having problems, try installing the audiomanager today plug in to see if you get different results, i have noticed that whenever the plugin is not in the today screen the cube seems to not work*
I assume this only works on a Mobile 6 Rom, and not on Mobile 4 (WM2003SE)

Doesnt work, i dont get y someone doesnt just fix this f****** thing, 12 hours i have sat here with this, it is 8am this was a night not worth trying to help out, i understand now why people ignore you, i stupidly took a look at this coz so many people were moaning about it, i know now why i shouldnt bother 12 hours and so many attempts for nothing
not even microsofts releases have this many problems this is a joke
Does anyone know if the touch flo interface that the official upgrade is going to provide will be the same as the HD2 interface ?
More specifically, i wonder if it's going to have the decreasing ringtone option, the new horizontal view in the photo tab and the gps tab as we can see in THIS presentation ??

hahaah you might as well get it man im getting in couple of days man
I highly doubt it. Check this out. Apparently the official release is out. Just not on HTC site yet. I've downloaded it and will be flashing later tonight to see just what has changed.
little unclear, can US tp2 users use that new rom? i have the hard spl flashed, and im running nrgz rom. the way they make it sound, we cant get the official update until tmobile releases it.. enlighten me, please?
thanks,
josh.
If you've got hardspl flashed, you can flash any ROM that's made for your specific device.
Can anyone give me a link to the bell rom with the 3.42.50 radio? I have been searching google,htc, ppcgeeks, and xda but every link is dead. Thanks

wow.. I have never had an issue finding that rom on tha htc site...
Finally installed this rom last week after so long using 6.0 with really no issues (oct 2008) I have had a lot of problems since.. (i sware bell releaced this to cripple tha touch) Main two problems: One: camera will Not work (it did work afew times and i noticed improvments 1: works a lot better in low lighting in doors, 2: now allso you can zoom) But now it will Not open.. i can get it to open via camera album but opens in half tha screen and cannot use any options...
Two: htc home customizer does not install - rather hermes 2.1 cab anyway (to enable 6 tabs instead of 4) freezes my phone and im forced to hard reset (6 time with in tha first 24hours)
have others but those are my main issues.. anyone else? or anyone got fix's or answers?
I know i should have flashed a custom rom, after this but didnt want to brick my phone & returned my computer with in a week.. may be awhile before I get another...
Thanks XDA

I have not used HHC in forever... but it shouldn't have that kind of behavior. And yes, you should flash to a custom rom if you want to get the best out of your Touch.
Hi!
First of all this forum is Awsomee.. Second if i post my request in wrong section, I oppologize. My question is my loud speaker never turn on during call when i place it face down. Always i turn it on manually. It never turn on when i place it face down. I check all setting everything is ok. what is matter?Thanks in Advance

Welcome to forums
First it would be good to know what ROM are you using.
Have a look on phone settings, there is a tab to configure the behaivour of the phone when facing down.
And don´t forget to vote!

I was using my original rom, but when i saw some roms here OMG i cant believe that you guys can make roms or softwares like that. then i install a rom from here that is
ROM VERSION
Deepshining v10 wwe
radio version
3.45.25.14
manila version
2.5.19222911.0
I like this rom because of weather thing that move on Home screen, but it make my cell lil bit slow. could you advise me what is the best rom for htc touch pro 2. It is easy to install rom , but after that you have to install every software or games you had. that sucks!
anyways i m new htc touch pro 2 user . i dont know what is rom, manila etc. i just read it from my settings--> device information.
Thank you very much
I installed the new Tilt 2 ROM 5.2.21887 (Aug 30/2010) I HATE IT
I'm a nuvee about ROMs.
I have this file HTCTilt2ATTOriginalShipROM.exe can I *just* run it like I did with the new ROM to go back to the orinal shipped ROM?
I called HTC they said NO. Idon't believe them.
if im right you can install ANY rom after you used HardSPL:
check the sticked topic in this part of the forum (cant post link as a new user)
yes. you will be able to.

You don't need to HardSPL to flash an official ROM (for your specific carrier). The original shipped ROM will flash fine.

Thanks to redpoint73 and all of you guys at XDA.
My only hesitation is becasue de guy at HTC said NO!. (What does he know!)
Summary:
I had original tllt2 ROM.
I just ran the new Updated ROM. no HardSPL (I don't even know what's that)
I don't like the new ROM (only good thing is Videos run smoother)
I had the original ROM file .
Question: RUNning this file is the same as Flashing? (Sorry I'm really noobie)

Fortunatelly I have a file HTCTilt2ATTOriginalShipROM.exe I don't remember how I got it (maybe HTC) but I'm sure is the original.
The only question is that the original ROM was about 8/09 and I believe it was a fix patch on 12/09. I bought my Tilt2 on 4/10 so I don't know if I have to install the patch plus I don't know what kind of patch it was.
Thanks for your help.

yeh the original had some hotfixes, and yes since u flashed it u need to reinstall them. ill attach. i think thats what ur sayin.? there are 2 of them i rared them, if u need em zipped let me know. just unrar them, put em on ur phone, them run them with file explorer. one is for sms and the other is for callerid
Just curious, what didn't you like about the new ROM? I DLd id today and was thinking about installing it. I've had an issue lately where the time gets thrown off, doesn't seem to sunc properly, and I thought this new ROM might address that issue.

Read the oter posts about the new tilt 2 rom.. there is a couple things that suck. I dont like that it dont have the mini task mannager at the top right where it tells u how much memory is free and beable to close app without haven to open the task manager. It dont have arc messaging client, it has HTC message client, and i dont like how it runs, its really slow. the rom itself is fast, it dont show notifications on the home screen , u have to click on the top taskbar to see if u have a missed call and what ever, also the first thing u need to do is install .net 3.0 before u don anything then u need to do a registry edit to get .net to work right.. There is some other things i dont like about it, thats y im not usen it.. wildchild has made a nice update of this new rom, that fixed alot of things that werent right.. but read the form here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=737168 then ull get a better view on this about this rom, whether u want it or not. But the best way to deside if u like it or not is to flash it and try it. Make sure u have the original rom just incase u dont like it. If u dont i have a copy and could upload to hotfile or somethin

1-Besides the above items let me add that the deal breaker for me was they reduced the text input keyboard from 6 or 7 to just 3. No more letter recognition, or handwriting or my preferred method, block recognition. I know is not popular, but I love it becuse it's almost impossible to mistype, it the faster way for me, I use my finger or the stylus and the big plus is it doesn't cover the screen! and I don't even have to look at the screen! The current keyboard covers more than half of the scree and in landscape mode it cover almost all the scree, just one line visible at the top. But the worst thing is that even if I am using the hardware keyboaard it pops over and over again.
2- HTCalbum.exe is just useless. in the Photo and Video tab, if I press "album" to change the albums or to see the grid, it opens the grid view for 1 or 2 seconds and returns to swipe view. If I'm quick enough to press the album key it shows the list of albums but it freezes for a while and returns back again to the swipe mode. The I get an error message from Microsoft with a link to report the error when I press the it asks for Wifi connection. And even if I exit the error message keeps poping up
Internet is definitely slower.
I couldn't find a way to add programs to the WM6 Star menu icons and Sense only allows 9.
How you can see the list of ALL PROGRAMS??
On the good side FM reception is a lot better
The one thing that is noticible better is that finally the the video play is very smooth (sigh) I'm going to miss that because I moving back to the original ROM.
