2) Delete APL, Biotouch, and HUB from the /Windows/Startup first to avoid black screen problem.

ARCHIVE INFO - from previous postings.

Hi guys,

I've managed to get the HTC Touch Cube working with jiggs's WM6 AKU 0.7.0. Not sure if anyone was previously successful in doing this. But unfortunately, at the moment, it is using the ButtonFlo method of turning the cube.

I dont have the expertise to get this thing working using the Finger or stylus to get the touchscreen to turn the cube yet.

Maybe one of you geniuses out there will be able to take this one step further and get it working fully! (I'm hoping)

To get the HTC Cube working with finger touch-screen capability (using eFrost's FTouchFlo) - just follow the steps in post #150 - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=1598731&postcount=150

The files needed for this installation is also located in this post.

ALTERNATIVE INSTALLATION METHOD

============================

ALTERNATIVELY, if you want to configure using the long-way; and using the attachments below, please follow the steps listed here:-

INSTALLATION STEPS -

1) Install jiggs's WM6 AKU070 (make sure HTC HomePlugin is activated - dunno if you really need it).

2) Install HTC Audio Manager.

3) Install HTC Audio Mgr Today Plug-in.

4) Install Touch flo(Alpha).cab

5) Install JT ButtonFlo.cab

6) Map Touch Flo pgm to one of the buttons - I chose the O2 Media Plus button.

7) Soft-reset.

PART 2 - Customizing Your Cube using Touch Settings!

Step 1: Install Touch settings V1.22.cab, then soft reset.

Step 2: Go to windows\startup and delete file called "Mediahubmini"

Step 3: Soft reset (I don't think it's neccesary though, but i do perform

this step.

Step 4: OH YES! Also install the missing ICON files for the APLauncher - AL_xx_Touch.zip into a separate directory (eg. \Touch).

Step 5: Copy the same ICON files(from Step4) into \Windows. (these files were missing in Part1).

Step6 - Soft-reset and you should see everything working!

CHECKLIST ON HOW TO AVOID BLACKSCREEN AFTER YOU INSTALL THIS APPS

1) Make sure that you have HTC Home, HTC Audio Mgr & Plugin installed and activated in Today settings.

2) Make sure you install all the missing AP_xx_Touch.zip ICON files.

3) If you have Touch Settings program installed -

a) Make sure you DELETE MediaHubMini.lnk from \Windows\Startup &

b) Start Touch Settings and click SAVE to save the settings once after missing icons are installed.

Once you have Steps 1-3 done properly, just do a SOFT-RESET and the cube should be working.

ADDENDUM - (POSTED on OCT 16, 2007)

TOUCHSCREEN ACTIVATION FOR TOUCH CUBE

Thanks to efrost's FTouchFlo (Alpha 3 version) with application launcher function, I can now use my finger to 'activate' the cube without using button!

For efrost's program FTouchFlo, please refer to his posting and donate if you're happy with his contribution! :) Here's the link - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=334965

Pre-requisite - you MUST have a working Touch Cube on yr ATOM.

Step 1 - Install efrost's FTouchFlo ( and follow his instructions to calibrate and then try making sure u can scroll).

Step 2 - Replace the default FTouchflo config file under /Program Files/FTouchFlo_a3/FTouchFloConfig.txt with the one I've posted here.

Step 3 - Restart FTouchFlo - under Programs, select Start FTouchFlo and then u try to test the scrolling.

Step 4 - You're ready to test the activation -

a) You must first put Ftouchflo into launcher mode (IMPORTANT STEP) - swipe your finger from down-to-up-and-down again in one swift motion. (you will hear a *beep* on your PDA to let you know that you've toggled into launcher mode.

b) Just swipe your finger from LEFT to RIGHT and then it will automatically launch the cube on your screen!

Step 5 - Once the cube is on yr screen, you can then continue to swipe from LEFT to RIGHT and be able to turn the cube.

TO ENSURE RESPONSIVENESS IN YOUR DEVICE

To ensure responsiveness in your device, do not specify too many applications to launch using gestures - I've modified FTouchFloConfig.txt to only launch the cube.

The touchscreen functionality for this Touch cube will improve as efrost improves his program!

Thanks efrost!

(Pls note that this is still in Alpha testing stage so install at your own risk)
