Hey all
This is not meant to be offensive at all to any of the developers. I am just flat out wondering what people think of the TouchFLO option and the Cube option.
Myself, I dont like either "addon". I mean they are nice...but for me I have no need for them...but of course thats just me
Keep up the good work developers...my Prophet has gone from frustrating to fricken amazing...all thanks to you people
The Cube is a piece of garbage for all I care... It looks cool, but that's it. not functional at all...
TouchFLO is quirky but pretty functional allowing me to scroll without having to grab onto the scroll bars. handy for me since I don't have long nails and it improves one-handed operation.
yes to touchflo, no to cube
personally, I like touchflo, but just the scrolling part. it is handy for PIE or contact manager.
for the cube, I think it is too much for my prophet.
I do not use fast dialing in the cube, I access them from htc homeplug today plugin. I do not listen to music, watch videos or surf in the pictures folder on my phone neither. I prefer the plain old functionality for comm button.
gullum's new approach for activating the cube is somewhat better in my opinion (swiping nail at the bottom of the screen to activate it). but again, I never use it as I don't need it.
I feel like it is meant just for showing the effects to friends and say "look, my phone can do this and that" and that lasts for just couple of days.
CUBE is pretty useless if you can't edit the launch.
but I like the QuickDail in CUBE. I would wait for V6 to come out. The CUBE activation is nothing you tried before. It's every effective & hidden if you don't use it.

there is a app to edit launcher comin in V6
Cube and Touchflo are very useful when they're in HTC Touch.
But with Prophet soft screen , I think I need just only HTC Home and as "Original" as WM6 Rom.
The CUBE
The cube has the same app. launcher as the home plugin. The picture contacts, sms, email, internet, wireless manager, video, pictures, etc. The cool thing about it is that it is hidden away, but at the TOUCH.....of a finger it will appear to access whatever app. you want. This leaves room on the today screen for other applications, or better applications like marsware weatherpanel chameleon version for the weather. You cannot go wrong trying to get your local weather with this app., but everyone is having problems with the htc touch weather app.. I'm glad you brung this topic up because I would like to just use the cube and I think I gave a pretty good opinion, and if anybody can get just the cube to work p m me or make a new thread so everyone can see it. Can't wait.
cube
IMHO the cube looks nice but after 2 days you have seen the cool effects and don't use it anymore. the fingerscrolling is cool !
Cube
The Cube , the cube. Can anyone make a cab file for just the cube and finger scrolling. Leave the touch home plugin out ?

You can just disable it from TODAY
i flashed the pdaviet touch rom, looked at the cube and disabled any hardware button assigned to it
i my opinion it is useless. it is slow and accessing my favorite programs is even without it every easy. so there is no need for it.
but touchflo is a bit different: it is usable in almost every application. scrolling around through the windows folder makes fun now - with resco explorer
it is a usefull addition, which works with 3rd party apps: very good!
but i have a question about touchflo, the cube and this htc today plugin: do we need to cook extra roms for them? isn't it possible to create a .cab for every single of these features? storage memory on the devices is limited, and storing some apps which have been disabled since the beginning by the user is just a waste of memory.
Cube has become verry intresting
As most of my beta testers will agree on... the cube coan be usefull finaly and does not have to take the place of any button hard or soft and having the option to asign which programs are activated by the cube is now not a problem any more... and the TouchFlo I can see how anyone can not like it... with touchflo the use of stylus is minimized to writing text and if one uses a good phone pad you could almost trow away the stylus...
just my toughts

sounds great Gullum!
I'm looking forward to using your V6 ROM.
Just touchFlo for me(very handy for scrolling in one had operation mode).
Since I use SPB Mobile Shell,and PhonePad the using of the stylus is reduced to writing some text and SR.
Cube is just the beginning
TouchFlo is great, makes it much easier to control the device with one hand.
The Cube right now looks great, but is not that functional yet.
The cube could somehow become the new today screen, making it even easier to control the device. So the idea behind the cube should be used in other aspects of WM.
I do not like Touch Flo very much because of several reasons...
I have a question for an alternative:
Would it be possible to change the touch flo function so it is possible to scroll like in Opera mini4? Somehow like "hold and move"
Today I tried the Ipod touch which has nearly the same software as the iPhone will have. Apple also included scrolling in that way....I find it much more comfortable than TouchFlo....
SO anyone an idea?
Greetz
i like both since both could be provided ,so why not use both,it would be more better if cube could have launcher window too inside it.
Touchflo
I like the scrolling and I like the look of the cube but just having 6 apps to launch makes it a poor launcher.
Ideally I'd like to see more sides to the cube or 9 icons per page or something. Everyone launches more than 6 apps!
It's good to show off with though!
I like the cube, and with customisation it's pretty near perfect. One thing that would be really useful (it it's possible) would be the addition of a comm manager screen on top of the current three to increase it's functionality and allow me to change what my Comm manager button does hardware wise...
The touch scrolling is very very useful because I use an on screen finger friendly phone pad. I now never have to use my stylus (except for resetting).
I don't use the cube for the fact that customizing the damn launcher stuff is too damn complicated. I think ultimately if someone could develop a cube to be a today screen that would be beyond awesome. So you can create different pages and select different plugins to show on the pages. That way you can use stuff like SPB pocket plus and just do unlimited things with it. It doesn't even have to scroll or anything special like that.
Hello Everyone,
Does the Weather Toggle Widget work properly for anyone on the Dell Streak? I tried this on 1.6 and now again on 2.1 but it always looks messed up. The clock looks great but the weather is always compressed and cut-off on the side. I have tried different skins but always the same result. I really like this application and just want to get it working.
Check the screen capture to see what I mean.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
PS. I did send a support email to the creator as well so I hope to hear from him eventually.
[FIXED using ADW LAUNCHER (Free) in Market Place]
I was informed that ADW Launcher allows many customizations, including widget sizes. I use this as my home scren now and couldn't be happier having total control over my widgets.
Yes mine was cut off and it is cut off on Beautiful widget

What widget r u using?
I use beautiful home screen, and had a time issue when i flashed to 2.1 in that the time wouldn't change.
Sent and emial off to creator and got a reply very quickly saying to exclude it in task killer and it now works.
Only problem i have now is that the minutes section is over lapping on the right, not a big deal but still an issue.
Have to say tho the beautiful home live weather wallpaper is amazing.
Yeah i tried it too and it wouldn't line up correctly so i had to ditch it.

I got the Woot G-Tab and it arrived yesterday. Charged pretty fast, but I had no opportunity to try it out. I had hoped to check out the installed OS before upgrading, but ended up just installing the Vegan Tab ROM with the update and the recommended kernel, but when I began placing apps (icons) on the screens, it only lets me put 4 horizontally and 4 vertically for 16 per screen. They look lost! I'd like to either be able to put more items per screen or make the icons I do have larger so the screen doesn't look so EMPTY!
Also, the soft buttons to the right of the screen include the browser, the screen you go to to place items on the home screen and a phone icon. Why is there a phone icon when this is not a phone? Is it a relic from the OS that was modified to Vegan?
The default Android launcher was indeed made for a phone. Try Launcher Pro, ADW or Zeam. All of them allow you to modify your homescreens to your liking.
You could try this launcher. Working well for me.

While looking at my screen previews in launcherpro, I was struck wwith a thought; is there a homescreen replacement that allows you to scroll up and down as well as the standard side to side? Is that even possible on the current 2.3 platform?
I would be very interested to try such a launcher.
Try dxtop lite from the market, or launcher7(if you like wp7)
Sent from my always stock, EC05 Epic 4G
I think what you are looking for is a homescreen like the Huawei U8220 (t-mobile Pulse in the UK). It's launcher is a standard style homescreen but with the ability to navigate up and down as well as left to right, going to see if I can put the apk on a standard device to use as a homescreen replacement, I'll report back on this soon.
This is just a share guys, This Launcher looks really cool and is something new
