Still use Total Commander; only this Time...Go and get Memaid or simlar and kill the Mediahub.exe and even Touchflo.exe if just the 1st one doesn't work. You need something with a "bigboy" task manger that shows everything process that's running so you can kill it...

Copy them over using Total Commander...Then soft reset.

Let us know if that works...

Trouble creating icons

I'm having trouble getting the hang of creating icons for this most excellent utility. I am creating the bitmaps. I'm saving them with the special settings identified earlier in this thread. I'm converting them to brn's with bmp2brn, editing the registry and all that good stuff. But when I load the cube, the image is either distorted (middle top) or non-existant (skype).

Has anyone else ever see this, especially the distortion issue? The icons are being saved at 80x80.

Thanks!

[Touch GSM General] maassk213:
Hi Frufo2000 - where can I get this set? I tried the German forum but could not get a download link!
[Touch GSM General] gold_sprinter:
I absolutely love this cube creation. The problem I am having is the "photo, video, and music" side comes up almost fine...the words are written twice kinda overlapping eachother. The pictures come up fine though. The contacts side is awesome no problem. But the side that launches all the applications while the cube is turning comes up fine but when the cube is stationary on that side it goes back to the default images. Can anyone tell me why that is?
[Touch GSM General] :
This maybe a stupid question...but. I downloaded the file and installed the program, but can't seem to get it to work. I drag the file(png/brn), but nothing is happening.

I tried it in PC, and thought I was suppose to use it in PPC. Please help me. What am I doing wrong?

Also, what is GRIM?

Thanks
[Touch GSM General] gold_sprinter:
Sorry again guys, I have tried installing several different cube animations but everything works fine except the applications side. Please let me know what I am doing wrong. I have the HTC touch on the Bell network.
[Touch GSM General] Re-Mi:
Did you drop it on the glassy icon? because if yo drop it on the rest of the program it doesn't work and it's a converter that works on the pc for the ppc :P
[Touch GSM General] :
Thanks YOU! I thought I just drag it in the white space, and that will do it.
[Touch GSM General] gcogan:
I think I have the same problem. I bought my phone in Canada (a Rogers version) so it must be a Canadian conspiracy ;)

Do you get the application screen running fine and then it switches back quickly to the default? If so, I think the problem is that because the animations for that screen are png files and in our version they are brn files, you need to get rid of the brn files of the same name (i.e. back them up). I'm having trouble doing this, as every time I try and delete them, they just come back. I think the next step is to get a good file explorer and try again. It's gonna have to wait till morning I'm afraid though
[Touch GSM General] ninja_unmatched:
I am having the blurred icon problem as well on the Sprint Touch. Can we start figuring that out?. The windows converter utility won't even convert the images I create with Photoshop CS3. Keep getting yellow exclamation symbol when dragged to it. I can get it to work for brn to bmp though. When i do that photoshop cs3 will not open the bmp it creates. yet other apps in windows will. Weird stuff here. Any ideas/feedback on this?
[Touch GSM General] ninja_unmatched:
I'm referring to the Brn converter posted by jmathies I think. The blurr problem happens when I use the exe file by devil inside.
[Touch GSM General] frufo2000:
i think your problem is that you havn´t changed the *.png files. copy the png files from the zip to the windows directory, this should solve your problem.

Problems with UNinstalling the 1940s launcher

I installed the excellent 1940s style cube launcher, but then found that my available RAM was unbelievably low (about 3.5MB) so I uninstalled it, and copied back the original files which I had moved to a safe place first! But even after I reverted to the Touch standard launcher I still had no RAM left, and had to savagely cut back content in my main memory so that I could still run programs! (And I didnt want to HARD RESET!) Any ideas?
[Touch GSM General] frufo2000:
i don´t think that the problem depends on the 1940 theme, the 1940 icon files have nearly the same size then the original ones.

what touch version do u use?
[Touch GSM General] namwollem:
I have the "original" UK Touch (Orange UK software version). WM6 Professional. CE OS 5.2.1238 (Build 17745.0.2.3). 64MB RAM, 128MB ROM. I also have an 8gb microSD installed.

And you're quite right, I don't think it was particularly related to the 1940s theme, just it was the first I have tried, and after the memory problems I suffered afterwards, I am reluctant to try installing a new 4-sided or 6-sided, or iCube etc..

Just to let you know that the new version (v2.2) of Touch Settings can now function as a customization tool for the iCube skin.. ..it's still in beta, animation is not yet fully enabled, but you can move all the icons around / change apps / change icons / etc.

Feedback always welcome over in the Touch Settings thread! Also read this thread for notes about the app, and remember to always back up your registry first!

you can find it here: http://www2.webng.com/nionxp/download/Default.asp?search=commander

you don't unlock any protection.... the problem is the program you are using to copy files..

1) windows explorer is unable to write file in ROM.

2) total commander can write files in rom

you must change program to write files... from WM explorer to total commander

I have a new O2 Orbit 2 XDA which had the cube software preinstalled.

I have now installed the 'Touch Settings 2.25' and when i goto the 'APLauncher' tab and click on the LAYOUT section it displays that my HTC Touch Software is not recent enough to support custom layouts.

How can i find out what "version" of the cube software i am running and how does one obtain an update.

As a consequence the Touch Settings software is running in "Debug" mode.

Any help appriciated.

[Touch GSM General] l3v5y:
Depends on which icons.

The MH/app launcher icons should go in the windows directory, where the transition effect (*.brns) go depends on registry settings. I have mine linked to the Ext_ROM, but i believe that on a Touch, they should go in the windows dir by default.

[Touch GSM General] Anubis9:
i copy all the files using activesync to a temp folder on my storage card, then i use Resco Explorer to select all the files at once, then tap and hold to bring the menu, then "copy to" and select \windows\.

But i'm almost sure that there is a possibility to copy to the windows folder directly from activesync.
[Touch GSM General] Biffert:
I use pocket controller. I dont know if this is nesacery, but I kill all the cube processes first (Biotouch.exe, Quickdail.exe, APLauncher.exe and MediaHubMini.exe) It will not give any errors, and it will send all the files at once through pocket controller.
[Touch GSM General] carlosp_uk:
Just to say thanks to all the people who helped to discover this and make the conversion tools. Have just spent a happy 2 hours re-touching all my animation BRNs so that the actual photos of my contacts appear when the cube is spinning (attached) - something that's always bugged me since I bought the phone!

I'm not entirely sure whether it's right of me to have wasted 2 hours of my life doing that, but nevertheless it felt good!

Thanks again - at some point maybe I could build the conversion into my Touch Settings program so that it automatically re-renders the cube BRNs.. ..a lot of work though!

If you are using Windows Vista, be sure to check the "Show protected system files and folders" in the Folder options. The Windows folder on your Touch is marked as System ;)
[Touch GSM General] r0p3:
LOL - simply forgot about that. This is the first thing I usually always do on a new system.

Yes, that seems to be exactly the reason, why some people think they cannot copy with active sync.

I have one question, if I make a hard reset, the phone will be as whem bought, and the original icons will be there, right !? If this is true, they should be somewhere in the phone backed up, right?? Is there a way to access it !! I tried \rom but dosn't have any png , is there other place to look????
[Touch GSM General] l3v5y:
Umm... the hard reset resets the files from the Disc on Chip memory. the images will be there, but as a string of bits, and so will not be easy to decipher. It would be much easier to back up everything and then hard reset, and then restore everything...
[Touch GSM General] disc0:
ok , thanks for the advice !! Spirite backup is good for that ??

Hi Frufo2000,

Thanx for the amazing work done. I've installed everything according to your thread and it works perfectly. (I didn't make a backup of the original files before overwriting them...Is that a problem?)

One small question: When I'm "browsing" through the cube, all pictures have a small (dutch) description placed on top of them.

Eg: The Globe (for Internet Explorer) has written "Internet Explorer" over it. The screencaps in your thread don't show these "descriptions" so I'm wondering how I can disable them.

(eg. The entry before mine shows 6 icons. Bottom right the calendar icon is shown, with also written "Calendar" on top of the icon. How can I disable the description?)

Some help and advice would be very welcome!

Thanx in advance!
[Touch GSM General] iceqbe:
Btw:

Is this the way to delete the descriptions?

Thanx
[Touch GSM General] l3v5y:

[Touch GSM General] l3v5y:
In the registry (use Reg Edit or resco explorer or similar) look for [HKLM\Software\HTC\Biotouch] and there should be a 'version' for the cube or something similar.

Depending on your ROM, you may be able to use something like shadow Cube TE (Although this is for an HTC Prophet ROM) get it here
[Touch GSM General] Tissy:
mmm, i don't really want to reflash the whole ROM, i would just like to too if there is a version i need to download of the cube which solves the issues i have.

Having checked the registry (thanks for the pointer), i am running version 2.0.29087 of biotouch.

So, what would i need to avoid the issue that when i goto the 'APLauncher' tab and click on the LAYOUT section of 'Touch Settings 2.25' it displays that my HTC Touch Software is not recent enough to support custom layouts. Plus as mentioned this has a consequence that the Touch Settings software is running in "Debug" mode.

Many thanks.
