Beta Tool Time Limited

If you are not aware, the beta tool is time limited to the 31/12. You may have to revert to the last full release before this beta if carlos has not come back with a new release by then.

Cheers

Same problem

I seem to have the same problem with O'Neil MItchell.I have the htc touch with the upgraded 128 mb ram and 256 rom...dont know if that matters.I tried everything from the instructions i still cant seem to install the app.I always get the admin privil error.i also tried the manual installation but i cannot override the MediaHubMini in my windows folder with the new one from the installation. I used memmaid and disabled MediaHubMini the first time and since then(after restarting the phone several times) it does not appear in memmaid. Any other ideas?i tried both the normal and beta version. I should also mention that like O'Neil MItchell there is no MediaHubMini.lnk in my startup folder.

Thanx
[Touch GSM General] carlosp_uk:
Just to clarify, the installation process for the new beta (v2.15) is simply as follows:

- COPY THE CAB TO YOUR PHONE AND RUN IT.

No other installation steps are required. If you are getting the permissions error, it is something else other than Touch Settings that is causing this - please see www.fatattitude.com/software, under Touch Settings -> Support for some suggestions as to how to solve this.

Incidentally, I suspect you are not viewing PROCESSES in MemMaid; that is why 'mediahubmini.exe' is not appearing. Try the last tab on the right in MemMaid and you should see it... ...providing, of course, you have an HTC phone with the touch 'cube' installed!
[Touch GSM General] nmeister:
The cab doesnt work for me either. I havent tried the manual install though.
[Touch GSM General] Xanius:
Memmaid doesn't show mediaminihub in the process list on my sprint touch. The file is also restricted to not be deleted/cut/renamed.

I haven't tried manual install because it doesn't look like there's one for the sprint touch beta cab.
[Touch GSM General] TE2:
One more step on MemMaid...

Up at the top of the page for the last tab is a pull-down. It defaults to 'Running Programs', you need to pull it down to 'Running Processes' and you'll find the 'MediaHubMini.exe' on your Sprint Touch.
[Touch GSM General] carlosp_uk:
Did this help, xanius?

Incidentally, while I'm on, just to say that I've been playing about with the facility to have more sides on a 'cube', e.g. 4 sides, 5 sides, etc. (There's an excellent example of a skin using this technique called the 'iCube' on this very forum) I hope to have Touch Settings supporting 4+ sides within a small while.

Hello everybody...

How can i change "internet Explorer" and "Attività" in "Opera" and "TomTom"???
[Touch GSM General] Bazzz66:
At this moment the program works great except for 1 thing, I can not change the music player anymore (did on previous version, but then the animations did not work)

I killed mediahub.exe / biotouch.exe / AP launcher. I can change the names, but the program that starts when I hit music can not be changed.

Anyone a suggestion?

By the superrrrr great work Carlos, do you perhaps post a version that will work in '08

To you all, great X-mas days and a happy New Year in advance

Migna,

Go to the APlauncher section, when you tap an icon you can in the grey bar edit the name....

Good luck
[Touch GSM General] migna:
Thank you very much!Fixed!:)

Another thing....do you have the tomtom's icon non for the cube but for the Launcher???Because i'va only too big icons...
[Touch GSM General] Bazzz66:
Never tried that, TT has its own icons when I put it in the starter tab.

Try to re-scale them, or use a icon editor.:)
[Touch GSM General] migna:
Thanks but i don't know the correct dimension in pizel of icons in Launcher....do you know it?

PS Merry Xmas :D
[Touch GSM General] Bazzz66:
Sorry, no idea, just try out, open an existing icon, google...

Hi I´m new here and have a little Question. I download and installed the 2.15beta version of Touch Settings. This work very well. A little problem i have. When i have save the Changes, the Animation of the Cube was not so fast as bevore....

Edit: A little correction, the Start-/Endanimation works, but the animation between the Cubesites doesnt work....

Hi just got my Touch cruise aka Orbit2 and tried "touch Settings".

The program can be installed and works up to some limitations.

When started it states "cannot read existing Quickdial Contacts" could be because i have none yet.

What I cannot access either is the second app launcher page containing the calculator, the calendar, Comm, MMS. The Touch cruise is detected as "sprint"

Great program btw!

I run the V2.15 on a Touch dual (Nike) with French rom (SFR). He run very well..

Thanks for this great job .

Just, it is not possible to change the program of “contacts” on the QuickDial ?
[Touch GSM General] drpiety:
Carlos any chance that you make a touch settings for the Orbit2/touchcruise? Would be a beer for me :D
[Touch GSM General] IcemanYVR:

This program was awesome, I figured it would only be a matter of time until someone came up with an editor.

I spent the last 15 hours (thank goodness for holidays) completely revamping my touch flow screens, icons, directories and folders.

Carlos, you're a genius and there's a couple of pints coming your way :)
[Touch GSM General] Frank Giorgianni:
For my AT&T Tilt, when I go to my Cube Settings I don't see any icons in my App Launch options for the 6 different icon boxes, also I don't see any icon choices down at the bottom of the screen (Tap to change) where it should allow options for different icons. Am I missing something? I have followed the directions, and even tried a re-install, but no go for the icon options. All else seems fine. When I run the Cube itself, the standard/default icons do appear, but no choices for options in the Cube Settings for the App Launcher.

Thanks so much.
[Touch GSM General] sergio2007:
I had the same issue while running a cube clone, and after tweaking for a bit, I realized that it wasn't a Touch Settings issue. So I changed to a different cube, the one by Leo2016, and everything works perfect now. Hope this helps.

option for Ap Launcher

I guess everyone here has their own ideas of their perfect cube. I for one, don't particularly want a 4th side. I like the 3 sides, I just feel that 6 apps is not quite enough.

Is it possible to create an option for a 3x4 Ap Launcher (12 apps), to replace the 2x3 standard one. Custom Icons, programs, and/or directories for each button.

I'm not real good at the coding, but I can do the art :)

I created a sample below, these are not my icons, just something quick and easy to get my point across.
[Touch GSM General] GpsPasSion:
Indeed, thanks for pointing it out, maybe it should linked from the first message, or did I miss it ?

I'm seeing a reference to the 4th side being supported on the Nike, but I can't see an option for that.
[Touch GSM General] Aaron McCarthy:
Hey Carlos,

Any Plans to release an update before the new year as the beta 2.15 will expire on the 31st correct? Leave us all without the option of being able to change the cube icons and update the animation :)

surely it's possible to change APLauncher to 3x4 on Vogue (Sprint Touch) and Nike (Touch Dual), but i'm not sure about the Elf version. see this thread for details on how to manually edit registry to do this.
[Touch GSM General] pp18:
at this moment, we can only enable/disable the 4th side manually (see this thread for details). after all, carlos mentioned that he tended to support enabling/disabling 4th side in a later version of Touch Settings. :)
[Touch GSM General] TheOnlyDidi:
Hi Carlos,

I´ve installed Touch Settings on my Touch Dual. Works perfect! :)

Since I´ve experimented with the 4 side cube I would appreciate if your Touch Settings would also support this feature. I very much like the iCube cap (see http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=1735429#post1735429)

Any plans to support this?

As you may know the Touch Dual activates the so called Action Screen if you open the slider. The relevant settings can be found in registry key

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Biotouch\ActionScreen]

Would be great if you could consider it as well in your Touch Setting tool.

i hardreset my phone, and now i cant do anything w/ touch settings because the beta expired. Im on a sprint touch... HELP!
[Touch GSM General] Bazzz66:
Not a big help but if you put your date of your Elf before 30-12 the program works again. It is not ideal, but you can put your settings back. At least it worked for me.

Other then that we can hope there will be a new version soon.

I am still not able to change to an other audio device then the default HTC audiomanager / player. Even if I set it to Mediaplayer it will only start the HTC (and with that one you need to add each song seperatly into your playlists). Linking to a selfmade shortcut does also not work....

Anyone??
[Touch GSM General] graffitisurf:
I too would like to be able to customise the Action Screen in Touch Dual.
[Touch GSM General] carlosp_uk:
Hello everyone and happy new year.

Thanks for the feature suggestions re: Action Screen, and I've noted down the comments about the Media Player.

I'll be back soon-ish with a new beta for you, the good news is that I've managed to get 4-sided cubes working on the original Touch (Elf) too, so hopefully I can build this into the program.

Also, you can have any number of buttons you like on each APLauncher side, and they can be any size you like. Whether I can code this into Touch Settings without blowing a fuse is another matter!

Best

Carlos
[Touch GSM General] wacky.banana:
Carlos,

Happy new year to you too! The fireworks off the Thames and the London Eye looked good! £100K a minute is a bit steep though :eek:

Awaiting your next version tool with great interest. A lot of us are using/interested in using the 4 sided I-Cube developed by Musicman & Zylphin. Would be great to have an easy to use tool to customise rather than changing reg keys one by one. :)

Thanks for the hard work to date. I guess we can donate via your web site?

All the best.

Troubles finding the standard settings

Hi there,

I tried the app on my new nike: upon running the app I get a message asking me: "cannot read existing settings - is htc touchflo installed?" (which it is of course).

I tried nevertheless, but in the end it told me that it cannot save the new settings (which seems logic).

Does anybody else have this problem and/or a solution to it?

Thanks guys!
[Touch GSM General] carlosp_uk:
Hi, don't worry if you can't find it... ....but perhaps it's there, but it's invisible. You might need to enable view hidden files and system files. (in Windows Explorer, go to Tools -> Folder Options -> View -> Show Hidden Files and Folders)

i cat find MediaHubMini.lnk" in \Windows\Startup. also i can't find MediaHubMini.exe on memmaid. so i cant install the app. any help?
[Touch GSM General] mr.BeBoT:
IcemanYVR it's been mentioned in other threads/forums that while it is possible as Carlos said, it might drive him crazy. The reason being is that introducing a grid different from the standard cube will also introduce a whole slew of problems (think the headache animation creation would become!)

I agree with you that 3x4 would be nicer and more efficient from a user perspective, but from a programing stand point the bugs and features Carlos has to deal with alone is a daunting task, and I'd much rather prefer a stable program vs. more 'custom' options.

So I'm definaetly looking forward to the future release with 4+ (hopefully 6) side compatibility.

Thanks again Carlos! (and Aaron for the icon thread)
[Touch GSM General] SilverstarX:
Is it already tested on a Xda Orbit2?
[Touch GSM General] carlosp_uk:
You'll be pleased to know that icon layouts are planned for an upcoming version very soon. I'm initially supporting: 1x1, 2x2, 3x2, 3x4 and 4x4, plus any custom variation; basically, you can have as many icons as you like and put them wherever you like. I've already got it working with a 3x4 layout, e.g. the iCube skin. It's just the 4th side that's still to integrate, but I'm very close to completing it.

Pleasure.

[Touch GSM General] Bingoig11:
Just installed it on my Elf, works perfectly.

Just a question:

I'm able to modify icons on APLauncher but not on MediaHub, on this last, I'm just able to change Names and Links.

To change Icons on MediaHub do I have to edit brn files?

If I want to change the Background of the cube keeping the original animation, I have also to edit brn files?

Thanks.
[Touch GSM General] pp18:
wow! :eek: this sounds really great! and love to hear about the upcoming 2x3, 3x4, ... layouts!

[Touch GSM General] pgmr26:
Could anyone help me to customize just one icon???

I want to customize just one icon on the cube, e.g. email.

Having read this and another thread I am getting completely confused.

I don't need a fancy tools that suggest to re-design the whole icon layout or animation. I need answers for very simple questions:

1. Let's start with a bmp. Is any special sizes (height, width) that I should provide?

2. I used Bmp2Brn (from Devil_Inside), it did not work for me.

I used your, Carlos, app to convert from bmp 2 bnr. It works, at least it created bnr w/ the same size.

3. I put this bnr in \Windows dir on the phone and change App0 in the Registry and I got a black square instead of the icon.

What did I miss? Should I create png (how?) in addition?

Should I play w/ hex code and change the header?

I feel incredibly stupid although I've been doing SW for living for a long time.

Could anyone help me to go through the whole process for one particular bmp?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Touch Settings - New Beta (4 side/icube support)

Hullo, here's a brand new version with beta support for:

- More than 3 sides to a cube (e.g. the iCube skin)

- More than 6 icons on the AP Launcher (e.g. 3x2 grids of icons)

- All available MediaHub icons (playing / normal / etc.)

- Cube animation speed. (see 'advanced' tab)

...plus lot of GUI enhancements.

The next build will support Layouts, i.e. in-app adding of more sides and icons to your cube faces, plus some template layouts, e.g. 3x2 grid, 4x4 grid, circles/diamond of icons, etc.! Then, themes.

Feedback (particularly from anyone with iCube-skins, but of course, from everyone) welcome!

Carlos

PS: Anyone having problems installation the older version might want to try this new beta, with all the usual precautions (backing up etc)

PPS: I've just noticed that the 'MUSIC' bit of the MediaHub isn't correctly working in this beta, please ignore this and just let me know if the other stuff (e.g. APLaunchers on cube sides) are OK and I'll fix over the next few days.

[Touch GSM General] Bazzz66:
Hi Carlos,

I still get the notification MediaMiniHub.exe could not be updated to the following reason: UnauthorizedAccesException

What to do? :(
[Touch GSM General] robmtl1:
I noticed that with version 2.20pre we are no longer able to have blank AppLauncher names. This is something that is useful to be able to do because some AppLauncher icons that I use either have the app's name written into the icon (e.g. TomTom, XM), or the logo is sufficient for me to know what App it is (big 'O' for Opera).

Having a name with blank spaces then saving does not do anything (maybe Touch Settings trims for leading/trailing blank spaces before saving?). After saving, when I go back to Touch Settings it's as if it never saved the name and the previous name is still there.

The best I could do now is having '.' as the name.

Am I doing anything wrong? How can I get a blank name for the AppLauncher? If I'm not doing anything wrong, can the next version allow blank names or names that only have spaces?

[EDIT]

Noticed that I can set a blank name by manually editing the registry key value at HKLM\Software\HTC\Biotouch\APLauncher\App1\Name

Maybe future version can not trim the AppLauncher names, or not trim if there is only 1 blank space.
[Touch GSM General] TheOnlyDidi:
Hi Carlos

first of all I highly appreciate all your effort on the Touch Setting program!! :)

I've installed the beta on my Niki together with the iCube skins. Following problems occure

1. Cannot start application: After change an entry of APLauncher the application cannot be started anymore. Checking the resulting registry entry I've seen that the path information seems to be wrong

before "Path"="\\Windows\\iexplore.exe"​

after "Path"="iexplore.exe"​

2. What is confusing is that within the tool the path always contains the prefix "blue" even though it is not written like that to the registry.

3. Another point I've seen is that while selecting an application it would be helpful if the file list could be sorted by name. For searching through the windows directory with its big amount of executables it would be more convenient.

Hope this feedback helps.

dunno why, i couldn't launch the Touch Settings program at all :( :

i tried both TotalCubes=3 vs TotalCubes=4 (with other keys not cleared), but same result.

fyi, my current cube as defined in the registry is:

App1 = quickdial, using Path1-6 & 19-23 for Cube1 animation

App2 = mediahubmini, using Path7-12 & 24-29 for Cube2 animation

App3 = aplauncher (2x3), using Path13-18 & 29-33 for Cube3 animation

App4 = custaplauncher (3x3), using Path34-44 for Cube4 animation

Hey Carlos,

I just installed the new touch settings and it seems to run fairly well. The only problem I have noticed is the animation. In the other beta touch setting I ran the animation was smooth and very clear. Now the animation seems to have black lines dividing the individual spaces on the mediahub and aplauncher. So every square or rectangle has a black box around it pretty much. Do you know if anyone else has this problem.

Thanks!
