Carlos... I'm running the Sprint variation... this is what I'm seeing

On startup:

- could not find weather settings,

- could not find quickdialer

On reset I get an error dialog with thew title... MediaHubMini.ptc and the text:

There is no application associated with "MediaHubMini". Run the application first, then open this file from within the application

When actually running the program I noticed the media hub (3 program face) had the old images rather than the ones I had replaced them with... preview animations did reflect the changes I had made to the 6 program face.

Once restarted everything was essentially the way it was prior to running TSv2... once rorations completed buttons change to new values but animations still old... this may be a result of whatever this error is that is occuring on a reset... I've attached the log.txt generated... thanks for your great work
[Touch GSM General] ambush276:
so if i make the brn. icons, the animatinos will automatically be generated?? if this is true, sweet job carlos!

SPRINT TOUCH!Z
[Touch GSM General] Aaron McCarthy:
Hi,

I'd really like to modify my cube to launch some different programs. I cant for the life of me find the MediaHubMini.lnk from in the \Windows\Startup directory. I have the phone set to show all files and everthing. However in the \Windows directory I can find the MediaHubMini.exe. I have no idea how to terminate the process though. I figured since I didnt have the .lnk file I could just install the settings program but no go. When I go to do it it just says I dont have sufficent system permission, which I assume is related to the MediaHub file. That said. If someone could let me know how exactly to terminate the program please let me know. I had installed Memmaid before and couldnt for the life of me figure out how to do it. I'm looking at downloading the SKtools to do it but I know I'll run into the same problem so maybe if someone who has sucessfully dont this already could give some direction to us novices out there.

Also, on an unrelated topic. Would it be possible at all to have both touchflo (set to drop down from the bottom by a swipe) as well as the touch commander (set to run from swipe up) running at the same time? I like the idea of having a tons of program shot cuts like I can have in the touch commander. Plus it would just be neat I think to run both.

Thanks!

New zealand OKTA touch

ok i have installed it on the New zealand OKTA touch, and when you open it you get 2 error messages the 1st is "couldn't find your setting for the uick dialer" and the 2nd on is "error reading bitmap for aplauncher screen:contact not found"

also under the animation menu i if i press the preview or activate button i get the message "animation failed: no stored image for aplauncher cube face"

nothing works on the quickdial screen.

hmm have just done a soft reset and now i have the folowing message "there is no application associated ith "mediahubmini". run the application first, then open this file from within the application" :-(

Even though i have changed a picture in the app launcher it does not change on the app launcher window, but it does lauch the programme i have selected for it.
[Touch GSM General] nzgman:

also on the home screen the aplauncher button does not work and just has a number "3" in the box and no picture.
[Touch GSM General] nzgman:

just tried my music icon, the nz touch does not have the same programme i guess for that one as we don't use sprint music, will pick other and find the right file.
[Touch GSM General] carlosp_uk:
@abeery

Thanks very much for this feedback, really useful! Don't worry about the "There is no application" error, I know what is causing this and will fix it. If you could help me out with these further questions, I think we might sort the other problems and get the app compatibile with your phone:

1. Do you run the HTCHome plugin? If so, do you know where in the registry your weather settings are stored? Touch Settings looks in \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\HTCHome\Weather\Settings

Perhaps you could send me a dump of your registry so I can work it out? (see bottom of this message)

2. From your log.txt, Touch Settings cannot find your QuickDial contacts in the registry. It looks in:

\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Contacts

and

\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\QuickDial\Contacts

....do you know where these are located in the registry of your device? Again, a regdump would help me greatly.

@nzgman

Thanks for testing on the OKTA. There should be a file called log.txt in the directory where you installed Touch Settings, if you could send this to me, it would be really helpful. In addition, I really need a registry dump from your device so that I can locate the missing keys that the program requires.

What icon did you add to the APLauncher? A PNG or a BRN? It's odd that your new application launched, but the icon didn't display. Was this after a soft reset? Again, the log.txt should help me work it out, just let me know the name of the icon you were expecting to be displayed.

@everyone

Touch Settings doesn't currently allow you to change icons for the MediaHubMini (3 app side) of the cube, but I shall get round to this asap as it's long overdue and an easy upgrade to make.

Hold fire and I'll get it working on your devices! Works like a dream on my original HTC touch here in the UK. :-p

Finally, if anyone wants to send me their \Windows\mediahubmini.exe, \Windows\quickdial.exe, \Windows\biotouch.exe and \Windows\aplauncher.exe from a TOuch Dual or Sprint those would also be useful in degbugging.

REG DUMP:

Could you guys above possibly do a registry dump for me? You can PM the dumped file to me if that's acceptable to you. I attach a tool to run on your Desktop PC that will achieve this; unzip and run regdump.exe; you need your phone connected via ActiveSync. Once it's done it generates a text file that you can send to me.
[Touch GSM General] motisu:
Hi Carlos,

I'm running the cube on a WM6 BA (Xplodes' ROM). I haven't been able to get the quickdial face to work. I tried your new cube settings app (V.2) and it seems to be working OK. BTW, the older version of Quickdial (V.1) works fine. Any ideas?
[Touch GSM General] carlosp_uk:
Hi motisu

I'm confused, can you clarify? The older V1 of Touch Settings didn't have any support for the QuickDial face at all, so I don't understand what you mean when you said it "works fine" on V1.

I'd love to try and help. Please can you see my post above - if you could send me a log file and a reg dump it would enable me to debug and fix it for you.
[Touch GSM General] motisu:
Sorry for my lack of clarity. I was refering to the cube program itself, not your wonderful configuration tool.

The Quickdial V.1 program itself works on the BA (slowly, but works) while the V.2 of quickdial doesn't.
[Touch GSM General] cojones:
My dual log file

I'm having similar problems. Here's my log file fyi.
[Touch GSM General] carlosp_uk:
@cojones

Thanks very much - as with the others, I now need a registry dump from you to be able to debug, as all I can see from this is that the program is not picking up your QuickDial contacts, and without a registry dump I can't see where they are!

Could you send one to me? I've attached an app to do a registry dump a few posts ago, or, if you don't want to do this, do you know where your QuickDial contacts are stored? On my phone it's \HKLM\Software\HTC\QuickDial\Contacts or \HKLM\Software\HTC\Biotouch\QuickDial\Contacts

Inside there should be values names {0} to {8} with values like -283712646 or similar to this.

C
[Touch GSM General] motisu:
Another lack of understanding on my part: I don't understand what you mean by " generating animations" I thought that the cube animations come as fixed sets. If I understand you correctly, after we change the icon pictures, you will generate new animations using those pictures? (WOW, that is really cool!!) Also, If I do want to gererate a new set of animations, where do I have to put the picture files to do the generation?

test report on Touch Dual

@carlos

surely we're nearer to success. :)

1. upon initialization - Loading Reg Keys, encountered error "Couldn't find your settings for the QuickDialer".

now the QuickDial tab cannot be used (the cube face on top-right corner is not clickable)

for your info, the contacts key in Touch Dual is:

[HKLM\Software\HTC\Contacts\<n>] (where <n> = 0-8)

LastUpdate = <a hex string>

OID = <hex value pointing to contact id>

PHONE = <string of phone number>

PHONETYPE = <hex value telling which phone no in the contact>

2. upon initialization - Building Cube..., encountered error "Error Reading Bitmap for APlauncher screen: Contact Not Found"

if go to the APLauncher tab, will see a blank cyan screen on top-right corner. i found that it's the problem in expectation on the registry key value:

seems TS is expecting the IconPath key value as something like "\Windows\BlueAL_06.brn" (a full path) while the APLauncher.exe on Touch Dual uses simply "AL_06.brn". that is, APLauncher.exe expects the .brn files in \Windows\ and the ColorSkin prefix is added only upon image file loading instead of pre-stored in reg key.

due to this discrepancy, if choose another pair of .brn using TS, that area will become blank (showing the aplauncher background image) in the cube.

due to this problem, i can't try the Cube Animation feature now.

3. TS still mis-recognize my device as a Sprint.

4. I can successfully change the audio player from HTC Audio Manager to MS Media Player. I didn't try out the other two as I suppose it's just the same.

5. App and Params on APLauncher are properly read from registry.

6. Weather - can successfully use TS to change to another city, and then download the latest weather status of the selected city. however, will not be able to use the built-in HTC Home feature to change back to previous city immediately, but need to change to a 3rd city beforehand.

i found that it's the problem of a key value not properly set:

[HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCHome\Weather\Settings]

CityIndex = <a hex id of the selected city>

7. after soft reset, got error (window title = "MediaHubMini.ptc"):

"There is no application linked with MediaHubMini. Please execute the application before opening this file from application program"

even with this error, i can still launch the target music/image/video programs from the cube.

8. it may not be appropriate to assume A0, B0 and C0 as the cube face. like my own animation package, A0, B0 and C0 are part of the animations and doesn't look like the cube face when animation stops. see sshot08.png and u'll know what i mean.

hope this helps.
[Touch GSM General] carlosp_uk:
Brilliant! Thanks pp18, I didn't realise each contact was now a separate key on the Dual, on the original Touch there was only one key (Contacts) and each value-name pair was the equivalent of OID.

I can fix this in about 5 minutes, will upload a new version in about 3-4 hours when I get home! Do you think you'll be around to test with the time difference?

Will reply to your other points as they are posted...

Yes, that's correct, the program will automatically generate the new animations. Hopefully I'll get the quickdial settings picked up for you too.

C
[Touch GSM General] motisu:
I hope that it is merely a settings problem. From what I understood in Kona_mtbkr's thread, there are differences in the dll's that aren't implemented in the older HTC devices so that QD V.2 won't even run on my BA. I hope that this is incorrect. If there is no other solution, could I run the newer sub-apps (Biotouch, apploader,and mediahub) with the older version of QD? That would at least allow me to have the advantages of the other program's new features.
[Touch GSM General] pp18:
hehe... surely i'm in bed 3-4 hrs later. it's already 00:xx here. a bit sleepy already. :D

really long time not do testing. a bit slow now. seems can be tester for iCube only tomorrow. haha.

here are the requested files you asked for

Thanks

(files removed)
[Touch GSM General] nzgman:
ops i tired using a png file instead of a brn.

but with the app launcher if you touch on different icon pics the other icons change depending on what one you are looking at, for example if i touch the bottom right one, the top right one changes to a different icon and then when you go to the cube screen it seem to display in the top right box what it was displaying when you touch on the bottom right box in the touch settings programme (hmm i hope this makes some sence) and when you press the button it will briefly change to the icon i picked when selecting the top right box
[Touch GSM General] carlosp_uk:

[Touch GSM General] carlosp_uk:
All New Beta!

Hi everyone

Thanks so much for all feedback, have spent many hours coding and hopefully the attached pre-release [NOW REMOVED] should be a step further towards compatability with the Touch Dual and Sprint Touch.

Apologies for exhausting all you helpful testers, but if you get a moment to try, and feedback, very much appreciated! (log files please if problems)

INSTALLATION: Simply copy CAB to your device and run, backup your reg & anim files first unless you're the risk-taking type.

Fingers crossed...

Carlos,

Sweet app...

I went through for kicks and changed everything out even animations to the redsnake pack for test.

The animation files all updated; was able to successfully change some applications; the only issue is on the Dialer screen. That didn't seem to take. Icons swapped out but the dialer modification screen seems a bit out of sync. Going back in on the advanced setting tab to see if I can hard map it.

Log.zip attached.

[Touch GSM General] carlosp_uk:
Thanks for this - will have a proper look later after my day job!

How very odd, though, a quick look at your reg dump shows that you do have the key in your registry:

HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCHome\Weather\Settings

.....however, there's no Location or LocationCode values in there! Do you use the HTC Home plugin? Do you have a city selected for your weather?
[Touch GSM General] carlosp_uk:
Thanks chAz15, glad you like it.

I have spotted, in the log, a typo in the QuickDial reg keys that it's looking for, it's looking for a value named "\OID" but it should be looking for "OID" - will fix tonight. Once this is fixed you should see your contact photos on the QuickDial screen.

It's a known issue that the animation files at the moment will just be generated to the default path, i.e. \Windows\{colorkey}A0-A5.BRN and so on. In the next release, they will take notice of your registry-set path, i.e. \Software\HTC\Biotouch\Biotouch\Path1 Path2 etc.

okay, peeps, I need a little help to get the animations correct!

1. Firstly, would somebody please zip up and send to me their up'/down' animation files A01.BRN,A02.BRN..... B01.BRN...etc ....I need to know what they look like so I can replicate them!

2. Secondly, I need to know more about 4-sided cubes (or X-sided cubes) so I can build in support. How do they work? Is 4-sided cube functionality built-in, or is it a custom-written app? What are the animation files called? Do they have corresonding registry keys that point to the filenames, like the ones at \HKLM\Software\HTC\Biotouch\Biotouch\ (Path1,Path2 etc.)

Obviously I only have an original HTC Touch so I can't examine my own device to find this kinda stuff out!

Thanks

Hi guys, when I start up I get the notification that "touch settings" is running in de-bug mode.

When I continue and go to Animation, the animation preview looks good, it animates the "new" icons ok.

When I try to activate, I get a file Access Exeption (I already killed mediahub and biotouch).

Any suggestions???
[Touch GSM General] carlosp_uk:
It seems as though a couple of people are getting this error on their devices, so I'll look into it. You can help:

1. Try killing mediahubmini.exe, aplauncher.exe and quickdial.exe and see if it helps.

2. Also check you have enough available storage space on your device.

3. Finally, are any of the animation files in your windows directory (A0.BRN, A1.BRN, etc.) read only, or marked as system files?

[Touch GSM General] cojones:
Carlos, I've attached my BRN files, i don't have any called just A01.BRN etc, they all have colour references at the beginning.

[Touch GSM General] chAz15:
NP; I can zip up a couple of the animation files that are pretty cool to be able to flip to at will; like Barrel; 4D Cube; Paper; Fire etc. most of them are up in the main sticky post. Those four are attached; probably a cool start to play with...

I am not running any more cube sides; if this is possible that would be slick as hell dude.

I've also noticed on update / reset; that the AL's are getting messed up; don't come up...Tried to update with both BRNs and PNGs; neither are working.

Again Sprint Touch US.

I wanted to test this, but I also changed the cube icons, this worked perfect in the previous version, now I get only a black screen. I did import .png, but that was fine before
[Touch GSM General] chAz15:
Yeah Bazzz; got same issue; had to hard copy all my icons over using Total Commander 'cause they didn't go through.

I think Carlos is going to check after work today/tom. He said he also spotted the issue in trying to update the Dialer/cont. from my log I copied up; perhaps it's part of the same issue...

I was able to use PNGs or BRNs in the previous Sprint version for my cube icons now neither seem to work.

PS: If you're getting black cubes, the issue is that in the registry the older Touch devices used a full pathname (\windows\AL_01.BRN for example) but the new ones just put the filename (AL_01.BRN) so if you forgot to back up your registry, there's a pointer to fix it temporarily until I get the app sorted.
[Touch GSM General] Aaron McCarthy:
okay I finally got the mediahubmini.exe terminated and installed touch settings but every time I start up the program it tells me "Cannot read existing settings - is HTC TouchFLO installed?" I thought maybe because I had touch commander installed to (So I have a touchflo like menu in landscape mode) Anyway I uninstalled that and still nothing. I cant modify any of the applications... just the mediahub and weather which actually already has my city on it so I dont need to do that. Anyone have any ideas as to what I am doing wrong here?
