When you said Atom does it include Atom Life? I have been trying so hard to install this on mine but no luck...just black screen....

Great news! A working ATOM Touch Cube with touchscreen activation!

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 his 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 in 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.

Not sure if it works on ATOM Life. I dont have one to test it out on. But aside from the similarity in the name, I think everything is abit different in terms of hardware - correct me if I'm wrong. So it might not work for Atom Life. Has someone else gotten it to work on ATOM Life?

Tks for your work man.... it looks verry cool!

I have a trinity and have the the touch flo alpha3 installed and working.... Now i think that if i get the Cube app i can use the touchflo to rotate the cube with you txt.... Am i correct?

If you are talking about the cube, my advise to you is to go the first page and dont jump to the last,...the first page especially the 1st post says it all...
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom Software Upgrading] mikewtw:
To reduce slowdown/sluggishness: Use this new FTouchFloConfig.txt

Use this new FTouchFloConfig.txt file if you want to reduce sluggishness or slowdown in your device when using the Cube with efrost's FTouchflo. This is due to the fact that when you specify too many gestures to launch application, the program will result in delays and slow response.

Everything is in the first post in this thread.

I've updated the FTouchFloConfig.txt file in first post as well to make it easier for you guys.

For those of you thinking of using XCPUScalar to speed up your device to get better response, actually I've tested it and it doesnt really speed the Cube turning action very much. On top of that, I find XCPUScalar consumes large amounts of battery.

Finally, do a SOFT-RESET after you have updated the config file.

If you still feel sluggish after this, drink a cup of coffee :P

Does the cube you posted here work on trinity ?

i am trying but no sucess yet, ip opens but its not moving!
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom Software Upgrading] mikewtw:
As mentioned before, this cube is only tested on Atom/Atom Pure.

If any of you guys have Trinity and got this working, let us (ATOM users) know as a courtesy and please start a Trinity post separately for the benefit of Trinity users.

For those still suffering from the black-screen experience, just make sure you hv all the necessary HTC plugins installed and you do not have MediaHubMini.lnk in /Windows/Startup; you should only have Bio.lnk there which launches the buttonflo apps.

Now ATOM users can use both ButtonFlo and TouchFlo...thanks to all the various contributors in this forums!
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom Software Upgrading] mikewtw:
FUTURE ENHANCEMENT IDEAS - for TouchFlo/Cube on ATOM

1) Improved response time on Cube turning using Touchscreen.

2) Make the Touch Cube turn from BI-DIRECTIONAL ( now its only unidirectional - cube turns from LEFT-to-RIGHT).

3) Enhance cube to take on different shapes and motion!

4) Use Touchscreen to 'CLOSE' and STARTUP the cube when its not needed - just like in the HTC Touch.

5) Have different colour themes & more icon choices for the cube!

ANYONE WANTS TO HELP?
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom Software Upgrading] NOKIAS:
Hey man,

It is working in trinity (only to you know).

I've only instaled the touchflo(alpha), the pngs (al_xx_touch) and the touchsettings.

The other important things like audiomanager etc it was not need to install because my portuguese rom already had it instaled.

i've paste an shortcut of "start Ftoushflo" into \windows\startup to get the flo started after a softreset.

I am thinking that we could ask to EFROST to make an exe to us with the second option started by default to be not need to make the step 4/a)

Its very simple to him, what did you say to that?

tks a lot for everything
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom Software Upgrading] mikewtw:
Good idea...I knew I forgot something :P

I will post a message to efrost(http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=334965)

....please help me push him too, Nokia.

And that goes for those of you who are interested to see this working fully and smoothly.

Probably a donation to efrost will help encourage him to help us too.
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom Software Upgrading] vishal_312:
brilliant work on the program..keep the updates coming..thanks a lot..

is it possible to have some kind of touchflo action to go from the cube back to the today screen??
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom Software Upgrading] NOKIAS:
i'm sure that our friend mikewtw will try to do that in future updates!

mikewtw: i only sow you response now, i'll make a post in EFROST thread now!

continue you good work.
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom Software Upgrading] mikewtw:
To return to Today screen, just press the "HANG UP" (right) button and that should do the trick.

Maybe someone can look into doing this for the future.

Meanwhile, my focus is to test on how to improve the response time of the Touch Cube.

Guys, please let me know if these two changes helps improve responsiveness of the cube -

FOR PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENTS OF TOUCHSCREEN ACTIVATED CUBE, try this out :-

1) Download the new FTouchFlo (Alpha 4) pgm and install it - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=334965

2) Can someone try this updated FTouchFloConfig.txt to see if it improves response? This new config file also allows you to relaunch the cube(swipe from top-to-bottom) once you're disabled it when you change orientation from portrait to landscape. NOTE: Cube cannot function in landscape mode and will get disabled.

3) Also for those of you who feel your cube is abit sluggish, try editing the registry - go to HKLM/System/GDI/GLYPCACHE and modify the limit to 24576 to see if it helps.

RECOMMENDED - Do a SOFT-RESET after these changes are made.

[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom Software Upgrading] wandrerx:
I got this working on my mogul (close to barebones w/o ext_rom) seemingly perfectly... I did it on a fresh hard hard reset because of some conflicting software and my remove programs list being blank :confused: (this is not related to anything with touchflo btw... so don't worry)... I mapped touchflo.exe (on Ftouchflo) to left-right(to make cube both initialize and rotate with my finger dragging left right) and it works like a charm! I also mapped up-down to efrost's minimize program(efrostminimize.exe) that I got from Slither's cube, this brings me back to the Today screen. Not sure what the "ns.exe" is for in your config files but it seems to be working fine for me so far following the instructions. I'm thinking with the mogul black screens there must be a conflicting software involved.

I only have:

HTC plugins + Audio/Comm Manager

Total Commander

TCPMP+FlashVideo

PHM_Reg

Memmaid

Palm Msging

Oxios

Slide 2 Unlock 2 0.53

Ftouchflo alpha 4

Adobe Flashlite 2.1

Edit: Be careful how fast you retry using finger swipes upon the initial initialization (from closed) as it will run two instances if the touchflo did not fully initialize yet. (they both load though... phew* still no black screen)

Edit 2: Remember, if you map left-right and use Slide 2 Unlock 2(S2U2), to exclude s2u2.exe in the Ftouchflo config.

will post if black screen comes up in the future
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom Software Upgrading] wandrerx:
If someone could make a program or script that could be executed from Ftouchflo Launcher that could detect whether an instance of touchflo.exe was running or not we could get a better implementation of this.

Down-up (if no touchflo.exe; then touchflo.exe; else if touchflo.exe-minimized bring to front)

Left-right (if touchflo.exe[in front]; then touchflo.exe; else nothing -this would be a script or executable runnable through Ftouchflo launcher in order to rotate)

Up-down (Minimize program [like efrost's]or implementation of Touch's actual minimize)

Just my thoughts...

[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom Software Upgrading] mikewtw:
Guys, when you mention you're getting the Black Screen of Death when using this Touch Cube/Touchflo, please also mention what PDA model you're using.

I will try to assist ALL O2 XDA ATOM/ATOM PURE users, but for the rest I'm sorry that I can't really help you as I only have an O2 ATOM as a point of reference to work with.

So any technical advice I can provide would only apply to the ATOM.

O2 ATOM Exec is an enhanced model from the O2 ATOM, but there many quite a few things thats different so hard to say if it'll work for you.

For those having problems on ATOM EXEC, I hope there are guys out there who got it working for ATOM EXECs and can help you to resolve the problems you're having.

New Cab install - Touch Cube + TouchFlo !

Guys,

I found this New cab install from the Kaiser thread and I've tested it on my O2 ATOM and it works fine.

Just needs some cleaning up work to be done on this cab - can someone please help to make some slight changes to this cab? - I'm not experienced in making cab files or changing them.

The Install steps for this cab file(on ATOM/ATOM PURE) is as follows:-

1) Install "dt touchflo alpha.cab"

2) Go to /Windows/Startup and delete the following files - APL, Biotouch, and Hub.

3) Do a SOFT-RESET.

After that, both Touch Cube and Touchflo should work fine ( worked for me).

NOTE: This new cab install saves us the trouble to install TouchCube and Touchflo separately.

My change request is -> Can someone change this CAB install so that it does not copy APL, Biotouch, and Hub into the /Windows/Startup? If can, it will save us one more step and then its just INSTALL, SOFT-RESET, and RUN! :D

PS: Forgot to mention that you still need HTC Home & HTC Music plugin installed and activated first - otherwise dont blame if you get the black screen of death again!
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom Software Upgrading] jiggs:
you can use a mortscript for that... no need to modify cab.

runwait("htcHome.cab")
runwait("htcaudio.cab")
runwait("dt touchflo alpha.cab")
delete("\windows\startup\APL.lnk")
delete("\windows\startup\biotouch.lnk")
delete("\windows\startup\hub.lnk")
reset

just modify the exact name of the links found in startup folder then save this script as Touch.mscr (text file) and must be in the same directory as the cab file.

Ok, thanks. i've found it

I've installed it on my O2 Atom WM6 0.7.0 wwe 6PP and works fine till now. But first I got a black screen Also. For anyone who got the black screen maybe u could try this step :

1. Perform Hard Reset/ return to factory default.

2. Install Htc Home

3. Install Htc Audio Manager (should u have Audio Manager Patched then install it after You've installed Htc Audio manager)

4. Install Htc Audio Plug in.

5. Install Touch flo Alpha

6. Install JT Button. Follow another instruction posted on mikewtw's post.

Hope this will help.....

just the cube move very slow,. ;c
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom Software Upgrading] _fm:
Hi guys, actually i have blank screen after trying to instal this cube again,

(i've installed, but i've uninstalled again, just because no finger activation)

But now, not again after read duttythroy post, and follow the instrution there,.

I've just download "TouchFlo For Kaiser.zip" Here

And I did these installation to my Atom,. (to main memory of course)

- Install HTC Home for WM6

- Install HTC Audio Manager v1.2 Build 515.718 (other newer version won't work with my atom,. ;c)

- Install HTC Audio Manager Today Plug-In

- Extract & install "duttythroy kaiser touchflo alpha.cab" in "TouchFlo For Kaiser.zip"

- I did soft-reset

It works well now, by:

- Run TouchFlo (and there will be "L" on the top taskbar)

- Run Re-Start Cube (and slide the screen left/right, up/down is unavailable at the moment)

So, I put "Touch Flo" to "windows/startup/" folder and I assigned O2 Media Plus Button for "Re-Start Cube"

I change the "GestureWaitingDelay" (Program Files\TouchFlo\FTouchFloConfig.txt) to "10000" to have a quicker response when launching the cube

Btw, miketw recommend us to delete "APL, HUB, Biotouch" from windows/startup folder, just delete it then

Have a nice try mate,.

For more information, read the original thread Here
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom Software Upgrading] mikewtw:
To Garmin:

Just saw yr PM. Glad your Touch Cube/Flo install is working now.

Anyway, I've not been checking PMs for awhile now...sorry for those who PM me before...didnt mean to ignore.

To Everyone:

Anyway, i think if you guys still can't get it working due to black screen, you may have something in yr WM6 installed that is causing it. Anyway, I tested it on jiggs's WM6 AKU070 and it definitely works - i've installed and uninstalled so many times and it works every single time.

So I'm suggesting you install WM6 AKU070 or if you're already on it, just do a HARD RESET and install the latest cab and try it out. In my case, my /windows/startup must only have two things that has anything to do with the Cube/Touchflo -

1) BIO.lnk - this starts buttonflo and initializes the cube (which is required)

2) TouchFlo.lnk - which starts the FtouchFlo (this allows you to swipe the touchscreen)

If you need Touch Settings, go ahead and install it also but make sure you follow my advice is Post#1 to keep from getting another black-screen.

HELP NEEDED:

1) I've seen the the HTC Touch and the cube is really fast on that 200+mhz pda. Our ATOM is way faster at 416mhz and still the cube is slow :( So if someone knows how to make it fast and smooth running on the ATOM, please share your tips.

2) Can anyone tell me how to make the cube turn left to right and right to left ? Is additional animation files required - I know the animation files are -

A1,3,5

B1,3,5

C1,3 5

These files alone makes the cube spin in one direction only...or so it seems.

Hi mike,.

Nice to hear from you,.

Yes, at least i got one worrking on my device now,. :p

Miketw was right, it might be 3rd party software effect,.

I install this cube (still no screen finger activation) on fresh jiggs AKU 0.7 ROM, it works very well at first installation,.

After I uninstall it, and i want to install it again, it keep got a blank screen (while i have so many apps installed on my device that time),.

Then i found an easier steps to install it, and its works well,. :)

For you guys with blank screen touch cube, try to install step by step i've wrote,.

If it cant, so it means that you should perform a hard reset then,.

I think its better for you to perform a hard reset guys,.

Because After you did it, miketw could make you sure that the cube will works well then,.

Wasnt that right mike?? hahaha,. just kidding bro,.:D

[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom Software Upgrading] stoto:
It works on P3600 trinity!

However i have a fantastic idea how it would be better. We need launch parameters for touchflo! Actually it only turn right and right. If we could have launch parameters like

touchflo.exe -main

touchflo.exe -left

touchflo.exe -right

Then we can set efrost Ftouchflo application to start the touchflo main screen on downup gesture, or to turn the cube left by flicking right and left, and to turn it right by flicking the finger left to right.

I am currently using touch flo alpha, jt button(is it still needed?), touch setting (follow mike's post#1) and l've just managed to get Ftouchflo_a4 working too on my mighty o2 atom. So, I now can activate as well as turn the cube. Sometimes I got black screen, but no worries.... we still can get it back simply just turn off ur device using pwr button wait a minute then soft reset and the cube should be there again when u start touchflo.

Hope this will help....
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom Software Upgrading] mikewtw:
If you got the cube working and then later the cube stops working (aka black screen), then just try using this FTouchFloConfig.txt I hv on my ATOM to 'kick start' it again.

Just swipe from bottom-to-top and it should initialize the CUBE again. It works for me.

If you swipe from top-to-bottom, you will minimize the current screen ur on and reveal whats behind so u can use that to get out of the cube and also back into the cube.

For the earlier suggestion of modifying the Cube code, I think we have to go back to the original author and ask if there's a way to make the cube turn left and right. The original cube in the HTC Touch can do that ...and very fast too. :cool:

Do we know who the original author is? I was under the impression that this was the "real" biotouch application pulled off of an HTC Touch. Guess I thought that because it relies on other HTC apps, and has such a crazy installation sequence. And if it was the real application, it should be able to turn left or right.
