TouchFLO 2.5 the changesI have to admit that I never liked HTC’s TouchFLO too much – I am, however, perfectly aware that I am very alone with this sentiment.

The list below hits us via xda-developers; a user dubbed shadowline claims that it’s the “change log” for the upcoming version 2.5 of the UI:

Home screen:
New look
new shortcut icons on up swipe, along with 3 on the main screen.
Tapping on an appointment brings up a new appointment info screen.
Tapping on date lets you change the date.
Tapping on the alarm info lets you change alarms.
Tapping on time lets you view the world clock.

People Tab:
New layout, grid style like Manila 2D.
New Messaging screen (see messaging below)
– All people:
Nothing new in the main screen, but under “Updates and Events” tapping on “me” brings you to a list of your facebook notifications.

Messaging Tab:
Nothing new on the main screen
– All Messages:
Brand new all messages screen. Listed by conversation/contact, and includes contact icons.
– In a conversation:
Brand new screen, scrolling has changed, icons included in each message along with the contact icon at the top.

Mail Tab:
Nothing new.

Internet tab:
New bookmarks view, includes thumbnails of your favorite sites (can be used on home screen too)

Calendar tab:
Nothing new

Stocks tab:
Nothing new

Photos and videos tab:
Nothing new

Music Tab:
Totally new page
Album thumbnails now “flow” in from the top
new controls
– Menu:
Update album art from the web on selected track, or on all of now playing.

Weather Tab:
Nothing new
– Add City:
New search by typing name.

Footprints Tab:
Brand new tab, works much like its Manila 2D cousin.
Not able to test more on this as it is not currently working for me.

Settings tab:
So much to list!
All of the windows mobile settings menu has been placed into this tab.
If you could get to it from start > settings, then it is now here too.

None of this is final, and there are a LOT of features that at either not working, temporarily broken (requiring a restart), or tf3d itself crashes a lot.

As of now, no further information is available – stay tuned!
