Not happy with Touchflo?
 

If you are not happy with Touchflo try this.... its just a registry tweak, but it has made me much happier with scrolling. Kinetic scrolling(finger flick scrolling) is still way to fast, but finger scrolling feels way more natural

HKLM/Software/OEM/TFLOSettings

Change DWord value for FingerPressure to 9000

This tweak is out there, but I haven't seen anyone mention this value

Let me know what you think... and as always tweak at your own risk

oh my jesus ....

thank you man.. just fixed the only issue ive ever had with this thing

:youwillberewardedwith1000virginswhenyoupass

anyway to keep it from breaking the sound barrier when I flick it ? gotdamn this thing scrolls fast

I have not found away to fix that issue yet. We need a real developer for that one.

Is it better than using ftouchflo ?

I think so, but it is all a matter of opinion. The problem that I have with FTouchFlo is that it seems to have problem in the browser when there are images on the page. FTouchflo wants to jump to the top or bottom of the image, it doesn't scroll naturally in that senario and thats a big issue for me.

Now, this tweak does not solve the super fast kinetic scrolling problem that HTC TouchFlo has, but it does make finger scrolling feel much, much more natural.

Just try it and see if you like it. You can always go back to FTouchFlo if you think it sucks. Thats the beautiful thing about WM...you can tweak, untweak, and tweak again!

where can i find the hklm folder??

HKLM is "folder" in the registry .

you can use the cab file i made, it will set the FingerPressure to 9000.

I haven't seen much input on this tweak from other than MrOuija. Has anyone else tried it? What do you think? Personally, this is the most important change I have made to my Touch.

maybe im dumb but what is the difference between kinetic scrolling and finger scrolling? how do i initiate one over the other. it seems no matter what i do it scrolls to the bottom of the screen

finger scrolling is dragging the screen with your finger .. real slow and controlled

kinetic is flicking it and it scrolls fast then eventually slows down or stops when you press your finger

Worked really well, thanks for pointing that out, now I need to commit the scroll/ flick point to muscle memory

Dude... This isnt a tweak or a hack... this is a fix to an annoying problem... For real dude, Thank you very much!


(BTW, for the tards, that means DO IT, it works really well...)

Thanks, Im gonna try it.

i made this change and now you can finally scroll with your finger, like you are supposed to. Why on earth HTC would not have this set properly is beyond me. The reason I never knew about finger scrolling is because all my touch would do was rapid fire to the bottom of the page or select text. finger scrolling simply does not work with out this fix. THANKYOU!

how do u get into the registry? sorry for being a total noob

You need a regisrty editor like PHM regedit, ect.

This tweak is awesome, and makes scrolling work almost like screen drag if you want... But it makes it super hard to select multiple things... like files and such... luckly touch pal has a select items screen, woot touch pal!

thanx for this tip.

Hey thanks for adding the cab file to this post.

I really wish that it would work like scrolling does in Opera....I bought it for that reason alone....it should be system wide. *Ok I tried that reg edit and now Touchflo works like grab & drag in Opera...awesome! Thanks :)

Has anyone figured out how to hack the finger flick scrolling so its more usable? I actually think the flick scrolling works decent everwhere except for in PIE. That makes me wonder if we need to look at hacking PIE instead of TouchFlo. Hmmm

If you change the registry setting it makes it really hard to select text for copy and paste.

Yes, I had to get used to it myself. Here's the key... Put your finger or stylis over the area you want to copy and wait .5sec...I usually wait for the select cirles to begin and then start selecting the text I need to copy. Works fine once you get used to it and it's worth it to have a more functional finger drag function.

Try your fingernail for selecting text or multiple files. That works for my PPC w/ the new reg.

Where Do I Go To Change The Dword Value To 9000 I Dont Know Where To Go

there is a can file in this thread that has the the change if you want to use that. Otherwise check the first post in this thread and you will find the correct string

Re: Not happy with Touchflo?
 

how do i use this file it wont open

Re: Not happy with Touchflo?
 

Is the 9000 value for dec or hex?

Re: Not happy with Touchflo?
 

This is from a pdaphone post:
I tried it at 9000 and liked it at first. Then I noticed I could no longer highlight several messages in my inbox so that I could delete or say mark as read etc...

I moved it back to the original setting of 4767 and now I can do that again. I am going to try the 6500 and see if that works.

Great reg edit though!

Edit: Just tried 6500 and still could not highlight messages. Moved down to 6000 still no go then tried 5500 and works like a charm! Hope this helps.

Re: Not happy with Touchflo?
 

haha.
i actually keep mine at (no typo) 300,000.
lool
i find it very usable....but it takes gettin used to.
and yes. you HAVE to use your fingernail to select multiple items in any setting above 3300.
