I would agree. Loading FTouchFlo on StartUp really should have little to no effect on the black screen problems ... since it has no interaction with the Biotouch applications until one of the FTouchFlo launch actions is invoked.

As for the links to Aplauncher, QuickDial, and MediaHubMini ... those links are likely in the Startup folder for the real HTCTouch device so that they are preloaded into memory, and will therefore appear quickly without the slight "first time" lag that we see. However, this does not work for us using the BioLauncher work-around. The "touchflo.exe" app that Bio.lnk loads plays a key role in the loading process ... I'm just not sure what exactly it's doing yet. I know it's key ... because the reason you need the ns script is so that touchflo.exe loads completely before biotouch.exe is then loaded. People were having issues with loading touchflo and then biotouch too quickly on StartUp. Also, if I remove everything from startup ... and then cal Biotouch.exe myself, it will load and display the Aplauncher. But then trying to call BioLauncher.exe Biotouch in order to get the cube to spin just hangs at the first animation screen.

I'm really starting to understand how this app is put together ... and parts of the assembler code I can see are really quite logical. I need to do a bit more sleuthing to determine just what method BioLauncher is using to get Biotouch to execute the animation sequence.

I don't know what happened to JasJamming and Bepe, and why they seemingly ended at a cube that only spins one way. I got no response from my PM to Bepe (he's probably ignoring people he doesn't know) ... but they probably already know everything I'm trying to figure out. I guess I'll keep going, driven by my own obsession ... and maybe if I start a new thread, I'll attract some attention from them or others smarter than me who can help!
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom Software Upgrading] Kona_Mtbkr:
Hey mikewtw, I'm not crazy right? Other than various threads where people talk about getting it to work or not on their specific device ... no one is really looking into how to enhance/rewrite the current BioLauncher piece in order to enable spin left and startup/shutdown animations?

Just thought I'd double check ... don't want to waste too much of my life :) I haven't found much but some very stale threads over at 4winmobile.com.

I had the crazy thought this morning ... that if I can work out the correct interfaces that the original touch.dll uses to interact with biotouch.exe, then maybe eFrost can code that into FTouchFlo ... and therefore have an option where instead of using the left-right, up-down to launch apps ... you put FTouchFlo into "cube mode", and the actions are all used to control the cube directly. That should help speed things up even more, by taking out the "middle man" BioLauncher process. I'm sort of dreaming ... but then again, this all seems incredibly feasible.

For those , who are getting black screen...

I have spent almost 8 to 10 sleepless nights but failed to get the touch cube working. Finally when I followed Pete's post, copying (over writting) .brn files in windows/ folder and soft reset my O2 Atom, it has started working.

Here you go step by step....Install all below in Device memory...

1. Flash with Jiggs WM6 AKU 0.7.0 ( "ATOMWM607WWE4PP_3_.exe" )

2. While you burn with the above image, go ahead installing HTC home plug-in

3. Install HTC Audio Manager.

4. Install HTC Audio Mgr Today Plug-in.

5. Install Touch flo(Alpha).cab

6. Install JT ButtonFlo.cab

7. Install FTouchFlo from efrost's post # 150

8. Delete mediahubmini,APL, Biotouch, and HUB from the /Windows/Startup

9. Copy .brn files from Pete's post and copy (over write ) in Windows folder.

10. Soft reset -----

Yes.. you have done it...

When your O2 Atom starts, you will see 'L' icon on the topmost. Just swipe your finger from right to left and you should see windows progress wheel icon and the touch cube...just keep on swiping from right to left for turning the cube...You can load Touch setting v1.22 for customizing the icons....make sure you should not have - mediahubmini,APL, Biotouch, and HUB icons in your windows/startup folder....

Happy touching :)

Cheers

If you're interested in taking the cube to the "next step" and using all 4 finger control movements, then follow along over there. NOTE: for now, you'll want to have a working cube before heading to that thread, as it's focused on enabling the other controls of the cube, but uses the same basic cube installation as this thread.

Congrats Kona...I think this CUBE thing is all heading in the right direction. I've been very busy with work lately. I'll chk out your thread above and see whats your progress like. I think our ATOM is capable of so much more. And this WM6 and the HTC Cube is just the beginning. Thanks. ;)

Btw, this version of the CUBE that I'm on is working very smoothly...no black screen. Here's the FtouchFloConfig file I'm using if anyone's interested.
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom Software Upgrading] mikewtw:
Another way to solve the HTC Cube black screen problem.

For those of you who are still getting BLACK SCREEN using the cab files, you can try installing a new ROM from this link -> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=343407

I'm on this new ROM. This new ROM has the HTC Cube built-in already so no need to install anything else.

This new ROM, however, gave me very bad lag or delays on my ATOM right after a soft-reset - apparently its to do with the HTC Home Plugin....so I reinstalled my HTC Home Plugin and also reinstalled the HTC Cube again (using the cab files from this thread in Post#1). After that, no more lags or delays and the cube works beautifully.

Oh yes, if you're using this new ROM (link above), and you decide to reinstall the HTC Cube using the cab files in this post,

you dont need to delete any files from the Windows/Startup directory at all

. Just reinstall the HTC Cube cab file (post#1 - download, unzip & install <Touchflo Alpha 2.zip>) and do a soft-reset....and it works! ( you should see the cube launching on its own during the startup.

HINT: Try using the FTouchFloConfig.txt in my previous post above to get your Cube working smoothly.

HTC TouchFLO Cube - *Full* control with finger movements

Hey guys,

I had been following and contributing to your thread for a while, even though I didn't have an Atom ... but because it seemed like some serious discussions of more than just "black screen" issues were occurring.

Well, inspired by this and the cube in general ... I (with some help from others) have developed a new Biotouch interface that gives you *full* control of the cube (open, close, spin left & right), plus some other options when integrated with FTouchFlo! While developed by me on my Kaiser, I see no reason why it shouldn't work for you guys as well. Latest C++ version is very fast ... faster than BioLauncher I think!

To learn more, visit my thread here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=343583. If you've already got the cube installed from this thread ... then my app just installs right along side, and replaces the original touchflo and biolauncher work that had been done before. Thread has tons of details and background, if you are interested.

Sorry ... no cab installer yet ... maybe soon. Manual install is pretty easy though. People are reporting great success so far with this, even solving black screen issues for some!

i installed wisbar and others to make my phone looks like a total IPHONE and then i would like to have this touchflo stuff in my phone also.

2. how do install if i can?

do guide me. the program is really cool! :)

How I solved my blackscreen problem.

For some reason, I got blackscreen after a few soft-resets and couldn't figure out why at first.

I finally decided to DELETE APL, HUB, and Biotouch from my startup and leave only BIO.LNK and Touchflo along with other startup programs.

When I soft-reset, this time the CUBE is working again.

I dont know why it works for me and not for others , but hopefully it will help some of you guys out there solve the problem.

Dont know why I didnt need to delete any programs from startup before, but somehow I had to eventually delete them to solve my problem.

Seems odd....hope someone can eventually figure it all out.
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom Software Upgrading] homer285:
Well this is all I did and it worked first go..... download and Install alpha2.cab (at first page of this thread) also download HTC TouchFLO Cube Ctrl by Kona, connect to Activesync and delete Biotouch, MediaHubMini, ApLauncher and Bio (/Windows/Start Up). Copy and paste Kona's (preload) files into that directory, also overwrite .brn with the provided or alternate cube animation found in Kona's package (/Windows). softreset and wahla!

Oh...also be sure to read Kona's "readme" it will explain more and you must use some settings from his FTouchFlo text or merely overwrite the file..goodluck :D

How to modify HTC Cube Settings (Aplauncher + MediaHub)

Once you guys managed to resolve the Cube's "BLackScreen of Death", you can take it one step further by installing the Touch Settings v1.22 cab + AL_Touch_xx.zip files containing all the button images to get you started.

You can also look for other HTC Touch threads on how else to add new buttons and change the Cube to a "Barrel" and change the animation on this cube to make it go beyond just the 3-face cube that you currently have now ;)

Good luck guys....I think Kona has helped us solve quite a few blackscreen problems with this breakthrough!

Now, its fast, configurable, and extendible ( I'm sure someone will eventually add new faces to the cube and allow more ways to use the launcher, etc)!

I've always known that this is the BEST VERSION OF THE CUBE ever!

If you're using an O2 ATOM(Black/Pure) or ATOM EXec and you have WM6 running, then having the HTC Touch Cube is definitely possible.

Look for the thread on ATOM Touch Edition in this forum. You can install this ROM ( at your own risk of course). It comes with the HTC Cube and Touchflo all built-in. Just follow the instructions there. :p

[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom Software Upgrading] mikewtw:
If ur on ATOM Life, I would suggest you go for O2's official WM6 ROM. I understand that O2 has released a WM6 upgrade for ATOM Life. Then just install the HTC Cube apps into yr upgraded device if u would like to have this feature. If you use any of the ROMS in here, you may just brick your device...which I feel is not worth the risk.

The rest of us using 'obsolete' O2 devices like ATOM have little choice as O2 didnt bother to include ATOM into their plans for WM6. At least now, this new ATOM WM6 rom has breathed new life into my poor ATOM :)

Screenshots of my o2 Atom with Touch Cube

I told you guys it works right? It just takes some effort to get it going.

To me, its good enough to use for the following reasons

:-

1) It does not chew up battery! (I measured it using acbPowerMeter)

2) It does not hog memory cos it doesnt use any flash to get it to work. (This is the original Touch Cube!)

3) It does not hog CPU or loop at all (i used Task Manager to check this).

4) It installs and uninstalls cleanly (I've done this so many times,I lost count)

KNOWN PROBLEMS or BUGS

:-

1) May clash with HTC Home Plugin but both should still work.

2) Cannot customize the buttons at this time cos I tested Touch-Settings v1.22 which is a program to customize the cube and I get blackscreen the minute i install this program cab.

3) Blackscreen of death - dont panic! - its just that the program is not displaying anything on screen. You can press your left or right button to get out of it and start over (without resetting your ATOM).

See attached screenshots from my ATOM.

[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom Software Upgrading] mikewtw:
Not sure what you mean by "loop the different faces of the cube", but once you press the button, you can keep turning the cube again and again and it will show you the different faces....thats how its suppose to work.

However, without the "touch screen" enabled for this apps, we cannot turn the cube by touching the screen yet...once this is enabled, you should be able to turn the cube and rotate it in back and forth.
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom Software Upgrading] Ultimate Chicken:
I found out why I got blackscreened.

I disabled SNApi and Certification Enrollment.

Works great now. PS: Totally Incompatible with HTC Home. Do NOT install HTC Home AFTER installing Touchflo, or the moment you attempt to use Home or access the Home themes, it will hang.

Oh well, I intended to uninstall HTC Home anyway. I just found out that having it on tends to prevent WM5torage from running correctly.
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom Software Upgrading] mikewtw:
Hmm...funny thing is that I can run it with HTC Home plugin with just a minor problem....tried it many times and both can co-exist. In fact, mine will only work when HTC Home plugin is installed and activated :confused: ..well, at least it works for you now.

I encourage anyone who wants to try Touch Cube to install it when you have a clean system with nothing else but the HTC components I recommended. Perhaps then it will work better.

Now, lets hope someone can show us the next step forward to get two things working also -

1) Touch cube with touchscreen navigation activated :D

2) Touch cube with TOuch Settings to customize icons and buttons ,etc :p
