This is the original Link to a working TouchFlo (Alpha) I am currently testing on the Athena using VGA 96 DPI and the AP/PK's latest v2.0. I have included a zip folder of selected screen shots. I first found this link outside the forum, then learned that other devices on the forum are already working with it.
The program is installed via two CAB files, one installs Adobe FlashLite, the other is Szabi CubeLauncher. Perform a soft reset after loading. Launching is currently to a 'Home Screen' Start>Programs>CubeLaunch. The home background is a bit suggestive, so if you would like to avoid that image, copy the attached bg.jpg to Program Files>Szabi>CubeLauncher and over write the existing file. It can be any 240x320 jpg you prefer.
When you install the CubeLauncher, you also get a CubeConfig program which lets you customize any of the 5 faces of the 'Cube' which is relally a 5-sided prism or polyhedron. Screen shots of each face are included along with one transitional rotation captured.
TouchFlo has been on of the hottest topics around the forum with nearly every device scrambling to cook it into ROMS. Up to now, cooking was necessary as the base applications from the HTC Touch are dll driven. Since this application is Flash(tm) enabled, there is no need for booting with the dll's.
Launching from the home screen is much like the HTC Touch, with an UPWARDS swipe of the finger from the bottom or middle part of the screen. Sides are rotated forward and back with sideways swipes as you would intuitively expect. You can also open and close the cube with a single stylus poke in the bottom center of the screen. Close from the home screen by touching the lower right signal bar.
The first page is a 6 application program launcher followed by a twelve slot phone contacts photo gallery on page two. Page three is a 6 app media page while page four is primarily for MS Office Apps. Page five is yours to play with.
The developer's web site is in Chinese, but the translation indicates that trials of the demo and feedback are welcomed. You can download the demo at the following Link: Http://rapidshare.com/files/54065589/Szabi-CubeLauncherICON.rar
It is not a finished work (yet) but it is getting close. Please provide your thoughts and interest so the the Project Team can assess wether or not to work on this for our devices. As you will see, we can easily do more with VGA quality backgrounds and icons, but the basics are definitely there.
Kind Regards to the Developer
guau! looks very nice! thanks bro!!!!
Nice find...
Hi raskell.
Excellent find! We'll look into this...for sure.

Did you try?
I would like if it is compatible with ROM Black Touch AP2
If you need not change the dpi i am all up for it!
would someone be super kind and put on a direct link or something else than rapid share, coz i can't use that from my company
Installed on my X7500 WM6 ITA with 96dpi setting, here they are my considerations:
1. Graphic should be improved with an appropriate resolution of images used to build the interface. (I hope I can do it by maself)
2. Scrolling works well even if touching feedback should be more reactive on striping finger over display
3. Not all the applications link work. I hope I can customize by myself
4. Home screen works fine, images resolution apart.
Nothing I can say about RAM and battery usage...still testing it.

Tested with 128 DPI Settings and it looks and works the same, regardless of the font. Some of the demo apps are not set to the correct file links, however using the CubeConfig module, this is easily corrected. I just went through each screen and tested what worked an what didn't, then ran the CubeConfig and changed the broken links. Again, this is an (Alpha Demo) but it is working!
Bother! Was hoping you would say it didn't work
I really should know better than to install beta software, let alone alpha!
Can I resist trying it......
probably not !
Thanks

I have searched for ways to skin dialer, most are themes or dialer (big button etc). but no one has offered a way to put a picture in the background of the existing dialer for 3.0.1.
I have the grass picture as my today background and would like to use the same idea for the dialer. Any other dialer that I have found is seriously deficient in some feature (911, smart dial, buttons disappearing, barfing). All I want to do is drop the jpeg behind DCDs dialer.
Any help?
if im not mistaken, big button places ALL the images used to create the dialer in the windows directory. by editing these files you could change the way it looked so i suppose you could just photoshop your grass into that file system
You will have to work with Dialer_BkgdL.png, Dialer_BkgdP.png, Progress_BkgdL.png and Progress_BkgdP.png for the vogue and htc dialpads, but if you have just the plain wm6 dialpad its a matter of matching the attributes of dlrback_port.png and dlrbackland.png in your windows folder and then replacing them with what you want. It's a very simple dialer to skin and make custom buttons for. I've never custom skinned one of the HTC dialers so maybe someone else knows what you will have to do.
If you want to use the wm6 dialpad and don't have it installed you will need to cook a ROM. If you want to use DCD's just simply don't select a dialer when cooking your rom. This will load the default.

I think you have the information backwards, or at least that is what I have read. In DCD's 3.01 kitchen if you want the wm 6 dialer do not select either of the dialers in the kitchen. I believe the HTC Vogue Dialer (PhoneCanvas) is a version of Paul_Hammons Mogul_Big_Button_Dialer which is easily skinnable by just overwriting image files in the windows directory. This dialer also does not break any CDMA functionality, AFAIK
Information on skinning Pauls dialer is available at http://pdaphonehome.com/forums/ppc-6800-xv6800/91652-sprint-native-big-button-dialer-theme-here.html
If I am wrong, I would like to be corrected as I have been fooling around with this for a while.

You are correct. I use that dialer and have made many themes. You can skin the dial pad, the background, the smartdial screen, status screen..... the only thing you can't really skin is the dial pad when it is being pressed. it just uses a solid color rather then an image.
But overall great dialer to work with, if you want to skin your own dialer.
Not true my friends... I have on my laptop a program and an OEM dialer that works great with it.... You can skin the dialer background and buttons ANY way you want.... even the keypress.... I am not by my laptop right now and can't remember the name, but gimme a couple hours....

So if I am correct.. Your allows you to skin the dial pad when pressed. ( So that the digit will still be displayed rather then just showing a solid color?)
Because I can skin the dial pad when pressed but it doesn't display the digit only a solid color that I want. ( This is for the Big Button Dialer -- Aka New Vouge)
If you are using the program to skin the orginal Vouge then yes you can, but that dialer messes some things up on the 6800 functions.

Hey bro. Here is the dialer skins that you might need. These are for the Big Button Dialer aka New Vogue.
Yes!!!
Dude you have just completed my phone. Grass background, Vista skin for MortPlayer, your dialer, and a custom S2U2 background of my daughter running
The cab is sweet, easy install and I can cook it into my rom next time. You are the MAN Carlos!!! A million thanks!
Did you find these or make them? Either way, thanks!

I made it with the help of the grass background you provided on your first post.
Sorry guys - Never got back to my laptop till now..... Here's the program and dialer I use....
I use Tiermanns Tdial Designer program from http://tiermann.net/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1:tdial-designer&catid=1esktop&Itemid=3
I works great with the Dialer I am uploading..... I made an OEM of the dialer. His program is real kool in that you can just drag and drop the files into the OEM dialer folder and replace them with yours OR it makes a CAB so you can just update the skin as needed..... SWEET program......
Sorry it took so long, and I'm glad Carlos helped ya out....
Now that our community knows how to skin dialers.. I say we post some of our unique work here.
Well not only to see what we all have but to share our work too.
I will upload mine later today. I dont got the files with me right now.
Here's my latest creation.... I had some Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders on there, but alas, the wife didn't like em.... go figure... lol
Thanks goes out to Tiermann - You da man.....
Edit: When you press the buttons on mine, the text and outlines turn red while the background of the buttons shades darker so you can see clearly what button your pressing....

Looks good.
One thing that I see is that in portrait view the call history and back buttons stay grey, as does the mute button in landscape.
Is there a way to make all the text one color?
When using the gloss functions there is no way to have white text?

When needed I just photoshop those files to match my dialer. I dont believe their is a way to change the color of those objects rather then just manipulating the image.
How does he manipulate the other number buttons? They are all png files, I don't see why those can't be included with the numbers, or even better, have their own color selection....
I'm not sure tiermann wants to go throug the hassle or if he has the time.... He's a busy man.....
Here is a couple of screen shots of my Reanimation Themed Dialer.
Also A vista big button dialer with different history and back buttons ( to show that you can change them by modifying them)
Is there a theme for this background because I applied it as a jpg and it was white and washed out, the dialer CAB looks Much better than the background Just using the JPG file. How did you make this your background thanks.

hey everyone. i have a question about adding an item to the today screen.
i recently flashed my 6800 to the dcd 3.2.5 rom. everything works fine. before i flashed it, i copied everything from the extended_rom.
on the stock sprint rom, the today screen had a few icons that would adjust screen orientation, commanager, and brightness. i would like to add that back, if possible.
i have a copy of the SPCS_Titan_homeplug.xml file, but how would i get that onto the list of available today items in the control panel?
thanks in advance

thanks for the tip.... i installed it okay but it wasnt really what i looking for. i didnt want to add all the other stuff too (huge clock, weather, etc)... just a shortcut to brightness and screen orientation. but thanks anyway.
it wouldnt even big a be deal that its missing except that exiting/minimizing opera in landscape mode puts the screen back into portrait.

hello i got yesterday my raphael and it uses touchflow 3d v1.2.34591.1_1813.6 (i guess the latest) this one doesn't have the animated touchflow when you scroll for example from home to weather or contacts. By the htc diamond of a friend of mine the background moves along with the menu. Is it possible to revert back to an older touchflow 3d?

I would not recommend that. Raphael's manila version is much faster and newest Diamond ROMs will include this.
well can the animated touchflow be turned on in the new touchflow 3d? it looks much better
TF3D Animation CAb file (old Diamond rom)
Found this on the Diamond forum. Workd fine On my Po. First DISABLE TF3D from today in setiings, then install cab file. THIS WILL TAKE APPROX 5-10 MINS to install. After installation it will prompt for soft reset. Rem ember to enable TF3d again after reset.

I spend most of my time over on ppcgeeks but can't seem to find a person who knows what I need to do to get this to work.
I've heard on the Vodafone TP roms that the flip clock resets to 0:00 and flips again every time you go to the home tab. Well, I want to see my flip clock flip... Any way for me to make that happen for the Sprint flip clock as well?
Or does anyone know which manila files control the behavior of the clock? I'll go change them myself and learn something in the process, I just don't know where to begin.

Here are my Favs for TF3D. You will find what you are looking for if you search for it. From these links you can learn about Manila... I did anyway.
** I recommend starting here if you want to learn the file system first: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=414861
The rest are good links to download others work and "inspect" it. What I did is download a clock for example and then decompile the cab to see what files it held. From there i knew that those files represented feature / function X. Pretty simple revers engineering.

I really want this as well. please let me know if I can be of any help and we can get this done. I haven't dealt with manilla files. But, have experience in programming..
Can't wait to accomplish this.
P.S. I noticed that the "Original HTC Black" theme posted here on xda-dev under Diamond - Themes, Application has this behavior that we are looking for. If we can only figure out what exact files do we need from there...
Here is the link for the HTC Black theme thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=430174
With this theme installed using TF3D Config, I get the desired behavior that you are looking for ( clock flips from 0:00 to current time every time you switch to the home tab. )
If you can install this theme and then figure out what manilla files control this behavior, you/we will be golden. From there, we can just copy those files to an external storage, hard reset the phone and then copy those files over the original rom manilla files.
Here is 1c684cd8_manila from a version of manila that I know does the flip from 00:00 to current whenever returning to the home page. If creedin is correct about which manila file controls that behavior, then this should work. I haven't tried it though so I have no idea if it will actually do anything.
Nope. I just tried over-writing the 1c684cd8_manila file. Did not work. Home tab was completely empty....

yea, that file controls the clock, but the theme maps the home tab, so youd have to copy all the files from a theme with the home tab that flips, then replace all of theme, make sure it works then customize to your theme

Does anyone here know if this might use more memory??
i changed mine to the regular flip clock and its still smooth
isnt this why Sprint and AT&T chose to go with a nonflip clock?
i just downloaded the theme i'm going to check it out. for some reason i had to rename it from a .theme to .zip so i can see all of the files and look at the code. the regular flip white cab earlier didn't have the effect that we were looking for tho.
the black theme didn't re-flip for me, even after i restored to factory settings
Any progress on this?
Finally found a thread that was working on addressing this issue. Doesn't look like anyone has figured it out yet though :-(
I'm interested, so that I can have my glass clock flip back to 0:00 every time i hit the home button
