do any of u guys/ gals experiencing when you tap on the X button the cube also will close? i am having that problem now :(
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bchau:
Thanks for the cab. But I couldn't install it on my Hermes with the error message that said something like "doesn't have the sufficient permission to install".

to Kona_Mtbkr:

I don't want to change the DownUp. This should be the CubeOpen-Action.

But the UpDown should not close the cube. With this action, i would like to get back to the last screen of the cube. This works if i start "Music", "Photos" or "Videos", but on the other Apps-Site it works not.

CubeAnimations

What for are the files in the folder CubeAnimations out of the TFloCubeCtrl 1.0.4?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jaygriggs:
testing

Kona you are definitely the cube god that got the train going full speed! cheers for that. As far as speed bugs I have a tytn 2 running the ie big storage rom. the cube runs pretty quick no slow downs with the contact, pics in or not. just the usual bugs to report (cube comes up in slide2unlock) rainbow screen thing. now if its helpful for testing I have my tytn 2 and a wizard with wm5 rom. my helpful buddy has another tytn 2 running the xda live rom and a wizard with wm6 rom. Another friend has a mogul and another friend has an elf. these people are around me daily so testing would not be a problem. My cube on my kaiser cube is just a hair slower than the elf in launching , spinning , and closing. barely barely noticable (unless playing with the cubes for a few seconds to compare speed) if I can be useful just let me know

What is better/faster/less bug? Anybody tried both?

Thanks!

Hi!

Ok, I found some problem here...

I managed to test the Cube, I did everithing that written in Installation.txt, and I didn't only copy TFloCubeCtrl.exe, but also "spinleft", "spinright" etc etc

I made startups also, and eliminate useless startups, because there're double identical target.

I used FTouchFloConfig - cube+apps.txt, renamed it so that FTouchFlo would recognize, edited it so it would bring me HTC Action Screen (left-right) and contactmanager (right-left). There

Ok, whenever I swipe down-up, it surely bring a lovable-smooth cube (seriously, it really smooth, and the fade effect is really cool), the first interface of the cube is quick dial.

Problems found when I tried to spin the cube left/right. The cube won't spin, but it bring me HTC Action Screen and contactmanager...

I managed to erase 2nd comandline parameter (HTC ActionScreen+contact manager) and it doesn't do any good.

But one thing, I found that I can't do anything, I mean ANYTHING to the quick dial interface of the cube, it just froze...

Any idea what happen to me???

Oh, my device is Eten M600.

Tq in advance!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kona_Mtbkr:
OK, for a third option, I also uploaded my archive as an attachment to Post #1 (includes just my app + shortcuts & configs, but you already need a working cube for this). See details in Post #1.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kona_Mtbkr:
Which X button are you referring to? Is this a continuation of the issues you and others are having with QuickDial? That's the only place I can think of where the cube has an X button.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] emanuel-paul:
Problem with HTC Homeplugin

when i install the HTCCube.cab then i have only 4 shortcuts on my HTC Homeplugin. Its a ROM-based Homeplugin with normally 5 shortcuts.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] emanuel-paul:
if i try this configurator, there are only 3 of 5 shortcuts on my ROM-based HTC Homeplugin...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kona_Mtbkr:
Ah ... I see what you're saying now, thanks for the clarification.

Unfortunately, this seems to be the behavior of the cube apps themselves. ApLauncher and QuickDial both seem to sort of "minimize" themselves once you click on a link that launches another application. Whereas the MediaHubMini more like just brings the new app to the foreground, while the cube remains in the background. And once you close/minimize the foreground app, the cube is then next in the ZOrder, so it again becomes active.

It actually seems that MediaHubMini is inconsistent here, and I'm wondering if it's a side-effect of the fact that MediaHubMini has actually been patched so that we can configure the apps that it executes. If you read the Touch Settings thread by carlosp_uk, it sounds like you couldn't edit the links for the original version of MediaHubMini. And in the process of implementing that change, the MediaHubMini app no longer minimizes itself.

But this behavior of not minimizing is what you're looking for in all cube apps. At this point, I believe that would need to be a change made to ApLauncher and QuickDial ... in the same way MediaHubMini was changed. That's a whole 'nother kind of modification requiring disassembly/reassembly, and one that I don't have time for at the moment. I can log it on the issues list, and see if Raven_coda or someone wants to look into this. Also, we can check with the Elf users to confirm how the native HTC apps are working.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kona_Mtbkr:
They are different animation sequences that you can install. There's an entire thread on the Elf forums about customizing the cube animations ... I just pulled a couple off to show you guys that they can be changed.

Hmm ... must've missed talking about them in the Installation text file. Basically, you copy the contents of the animation file archive (barrel-r0p3.zip for instance) in the Windows directory, overwriting the existing files (maybe backup first in case you want to go back). I didn't even have to SR ... I think it picked up the new files the next time I spun the cube.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kona_Mtbkr:
There's a known issue of bringing up the cube when the device is locked using the standard system lock. However, if you're having issues with the cube activating while Slide2Unlock is active, then I would just specify it in the FTouchFlo exclude section. I think there are 2 different apps behind the scene to this app ... slide.exe and ilock.exe. Not sure exactly what you'd want to exclude, I'm not currently running S2U ... but that's a thought. Try it out, and if you get it work, PM me and I'll add to the Hints section.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kona_Mtbkr:
SCLPF is a flash-based app that originally simulated the HTC TouchFLO cube behavior, but I think recent versions have added additional functionality. This thread is about integrating the original HTC TouchFLO cube onto devices that it doesn't come on natively.

However, as per Post #1 Rules section item #4, I would prefer not to use this thread for a discussion of the pros & cons of each. Feel free to start your own discussion thread if you want people to compare/contrast. Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kona_Mtbkr:
Interesting. If the cube doesn't spin, but instead it just keeps trying to launch <App_2> instead, that tells me that it's unable to detect that the current foreground app is one of the cube apps. That's very odd ... I'm not sure why that would be. Could be that things are working just a bit differently on your Eten M600. I think that we would need to do a little debugging to see what's really going on. I'm thinking I can add a special command to get a little debug information from TFloCubeCtrl in the next version, and maybe that will reveal something to us. Sorry, not an ideal answer ... but without having the device in front of me, about the best I can think of for now.

Question though ... does the open animation appear only the first time you do a Down-Up gesture? Or, if you open the cube, then close it using the OK or End Call buttons (I'm assuming if RL/LR don't work, then Up-Down to close the cube also doesn't work) ... can you then perform a Down-Up and get the startup animation again?

There seems to be an issue specifically with the QuickDial app running on non-HTC devices. Most people are reporting little to no functionality in that app, and sometimes errors on launch. I'm thinking there's a dependency on some other app or dll that doesn't come as part of the current cab installs, but already exists on our HTC devices. Possibly someone who wants to disassemble QuickDial or use a dependency walker could help out here?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kona_Mtbkr:
Wow ... there goes another hour of my life to "The Cube" :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tsant7:
Absolutely perfect work, helping is more than enough, but

this happens even to HTC devices. is there a possibility that HTC homeplug quick dial works similarly with Cube contacts face (maybe there lies the solution-silly thought? I don't know).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Xue v.2:
I'm cool! =)

Haven't tried it though, I'll do that right after I'm back to my device (I'm willing to HR my device, I'm still pushing my Eten on my limit =D ). I'll be back with the feedback on several hours... ---Playing DotA---

Hmmm, interesting.... because if so, this QuickDial app is the first HTC-based app that won't work on mine. I've tried almost every HTC apps, and they are work fine on my Eten (even HTC Home Plug, wich I uninstall because I found difficulty just to update HTC Weather Panel from accuweather, tried to every possible solution, but gave me nothing), man I love my Eten =D

I'll be back with d feedback,,,

Tq in advance!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kona_Mtbkr:
Hmm ... not sure what you mean. I have no problems adding/removing contacts within QuickDial from the cube and also from the "FAvorite People" tab of the HTCHome today plugin (which is technically different from the HTCHomeplug, as that is the single line app launcher from the today screen).

-- Edit --

Upon further review ... it seems that QuickDial and the "Favorite People" tab are not "connected". Added contacts to one, does not necessarily update the other. I thought they did work this way ... but then I hid my Favorite People tab, and forgot to review this before I answered!

-- End Edit --

So, back to the issue ... are you saying that you cannot add or remove contacts from QuickDial on your HTC device? This would be a new issue that I have not yet heard of (only problems with non-HTC devices and QuickDial)

I would then want to know:

What device is it?

Can you add/remove contacts from the Favorite People tab of HTCHome?

Do any of the other buttons work on QuickDial (Phone, Call History, etc)?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] The_hesham:
Prob. with cube setting

Can some one solve this Prob?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tsant7:
It's a Trinity HTC 3600 running english WM5 (without any upgrades, except the HTC's for GPS). Everything else is OK, very smooth spining to all cube faces, small delays in contacts, all the other shortcuts are totally functional end editable.

In contacts screen, no response from any button when touched- only spinning. Except this, the only other bug is a momentaly screen "distortion" when going back from contacts to today screen.

In the same time, back in HTC home, everything is OK.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Xue v.2:
Back with the feedback!

All the gestures from FTouchFlo with commandline "open" are work fine!!! I guess you are right. It's unable to detect that the current foreground app is one of the cube apps.

I did some experiments, I executed the Spinleft/right link you attached, it target "openspin" the cube, and it worked, it open the cube and spin it... but still no effect if I use that with FTouchFlo.

Here're my report.

cheers!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cruzzmz:
Dear Kona

the X button is when for example i open my sms at the app launcher, then if i tap the X button it will closes all including my cube. Also I could not open my quickdial lnk ... it will always prompt an error stated that my quick dial is not valid or not install

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kona_Mtbkr:
I don't think I've heard of that before ... no error messages or anything from QuickDial, just no buttons working huh?

Any other Trinity users care to chime in with their experience? Anyone got a Trinity with a working QuickDial app?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kona_Mtbkr:
Well ... since this is an issue with Touch Settings and the ApLauncher ... it's sort of outside the scope of this thread. Still, I'm curious about the behavior. What cab installer did you use to install the cube? And I assume that you have the registry entries: HKLM\Software\HTC\Biotouch\APLauncher\App1_1, App1_2, etc?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cruzzmz:
I have Exclude:s2u2.exe & iLock.exe in FTouchFloConfig.exe and it work it will not bring the cube if i slide it left to right juz that i it also disable the up-down minimize (sometime i need that in order to minimize the slider quickly)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kona_Mtbkr:
Interesting ... but this still sounds odd. I'm not sure why the openSpinLeft/Right would work on the hardware buttons, but not with FTouchFlo. Can you post or PM your FTouchFloConfig.txt file?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kona_Mtbkr:
Ah, now I understand what you're saying about the X button. Unfortunately, this is a feature of how the APLauncher app is working. I know that it's different than how MediaHubMini works ... but it has nothing to do with my TFloCubCtrl, and therefore isn't straightforward for me to fix. I actually think that APLauncher "minimizing" iteself after you launch an application is how it is designed to work. When you close that launched application, you end up back at the today screen, and you just have to do a D-U gesture to bring the cube back. I'm gonna check with Elf users to confirm the behavior on that device ... but pretty much for now, the cube apps work the way they do ... and it'll be another initiative to change that.

QuickDial ... a known issue for some. Similar to above, it's got more to do with something missing for some people in the install ... and not so much to do with my app that interfaces with Biotouch. Still ... I'll put it on the known issues list, and maybe someone will pitch in and help out, or if I ever find some free time, I can poke around and see what I can see.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cruzzmz:
Cool .... i really appreciate all ur time to ans my questions :respect:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kona_Mtbkr:
Cool ... thanks for verifying this works. However, I"m not sure I understand why you need the minimize feature? If you want to unlock the device, why don't you just use the actual slider mechanism in s2u2? Maybe I'm missing something?

Hmm ... interesting thought ... I could make my own device lock mode, and if everything that FTouchFlo does goes through my TFloCubeCtrl app, then I could allow just one of the gestures to unlock the device.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] simonte:
Me too having the same problem.

its a HTC trinity with WM5.

Yes i can add/remove contacts on the HTC Home.

Yes, other buttons do work perfectly.

Hope in a solution :)

thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] DvTonder:
What is meant with 'some devices'? I have a TyTN and notice this slow behaviour - is this a generic issue with all TyTN's or is my specific ROM/setup to blame?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] 1970mueller:
Slow on Rom

I tried switching ROMs to the Shaps 4.01 and the cube speed is MUCH faster. Overall, his Rom seems to really zip along, and I've confirmed it's the ROM your using that is causing the slowness. My contacts page is the most dramatic.... loads the pictures almost instantaneously.

What I'm still trying to find is how to change the damn email icon from opening outlook mail to my regular mail folder.... I can't find the right .exe to connect it to in the config program. Anyone know this or where I should look?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ^^rac:
All you do is to put the name of the mail account you want to open between the"'s in the mail config.

That should open that specific mail account immediatley!

Hope it helps!

dose this work on a tytn (from rogers)??

i have wm5 on it right now
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] JAMRZ69:
Problem

I installed the htc cube cab on to my sprint mogul 6800,works perfectly but all my programs i had in storage memory completely disappeared just wondering how this happened also my weather program in the htc custom is jacked it won't retrieve any data or says that its unable to.is there a way to uninstall the htc cube cause when i go to remove programs theres nothing there,also i cannot link up with my desktop via activesync,any help will be greatly appreciated,thank you.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] JasonStern:
That's what I have been working on :-D! QuickDial has dependencies on:

PIMSTORE.dll

PHONE.dll

COREDLL.dll

ole32.dll

OLEAUT32.dll

AYGSHELL.dll

HtcFSrc.dll

I have tried removing all the signed certs from the dlls, but it didnt help.

Analyzing the cabs, HtcFSrc is only installed by the Audio Manager plugin.

pimstore is what allows devices to access the contact list.

I'm guessing one of these two dlls is causing the issue; would someone who has the contact face of the cube working be willing to send me these two files so I can compare them to my versions?

Thanks!

Jason
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] herg62123:
if you have the newest home plug-in. all you have to is go to settings-today icon-htc home at bottom-reselect the home plugin items again.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] herg62123:
make sure you upgraded to wm6 to get this to work first.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cruzzmz:
well sometime i do want to access the main page quickly as sliding maybe a lill slow cos have to slide it ... say that i want to access my mail or text or see my miss call message

if u can do that cool ... but if u can do an exclusion also ok
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cruzzmz:
cool Jason is doing something ... hopefully all the ppl who cant use quickdial can use it soon .... for some non HTC dev the musicplayer wont work, so maybe this also is causing prob to quickdial (just an info) .... well best of luck

Extreme mesures to solve contacts problem: Hard reset to my WM5 Trinity (needed anyway), rebuild from scratch-first application, the Cube

results: No spinning speed problems with contacts face BUT STILL cannot edit any button in this side of the cube.

Also, I cannot change any cube settings! I' m getting error messages as "Cannot read existing settings-is HTC TouchFLO installed?, or "Could not save weather settings-is HTC Homeplug installed, could not save APLauncher settings to registry"

HI Kona nice jobs..

just before you release the new version,two question 4 U..

1.could the fav people cube just simply call the person instead goes to

call history for that person once you touch the face as what the HTC home quickdial does?coz it will be more practical..

2.how to change the animation to the 4D cube/barrel..

so far it almost good since 3 days testing this cube and i have been using

efrost ftouchflo config. to configure the touchflo setting and able to run

HTCActionscreen by rightleft spin.

nice job again from me bravo!!!!:)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] steb0ne:
I also have the Sprint Mogul and this cube, but I don't have any problems like you've described. Did you install on the device or the memory card?

Mine works fine, a little slow but works fine. One thing I'd like to see also is when you press the contact on the dialer side of the cube, for it to actually dial the contact instead of showing the call history. Is there a registry change that would allow that?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] James62370:
1. I also think it would be nice for the fav contact list to just call the number, and if multiple numbers listed for that contact, let us select the one we'd like (ie same functionality as the latest htc home plugins favorite peoples list where we select either mobile#, home#, work#,etc).

2. I believe all you need to do to change the animation is unzip the compress files, and copy it into the windows directory of your pocket pc, be sure to save the original files prior to overwriting in case you want to go back.

3. I concur, I truly notice the hard work many has put into this project, especially to Kona is responding to so many of our suggestions in an always polite and respectable manner.

Regards :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] elgreek84:
Hey man regarding number 2, choose the one you want, and then copy to the windows folder and override the files (you should back up all the .brn files from teh windows file beforehand in case you want to revert back). I've tried them out, they look great.

The barrel has some animation issues though, but the otehr one works great.

i installed it to my storage card first but it wouldn't work,uninstalled it then re-installed it to my device worked great but when i went to all the programs i had in storage memory there was nothing everything was gone,i couldn't link up to my desktop couldn't re-install any programs totally sucked cause that cube rocked it was perfect everything linked to where it was supposed to go easy to add or delete contacts the only thing with that was the pictures looked like crap when you added them to the cube don't know what causes that but thats the least of my worries.just want to get that cube without losing programs in storage memory and still being able to link up via active sync with my desktop.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Xue v.2:
Solved Solved Solved!!!

I downloaded the cab installer from a few pages back, removed all the files that I installed manually, and installed it via cab installer, softreset because I uninstall ftouchflo also which cause a freeze on touch input, and then voila... the cube work flawlessly (except for the quickdial =D ).

It was the same structure, but why my manual installation didn't work on the cube, but the cab work.

Anyway, it doesn't matter anymore. Great apps you've made Kona, It's work on non-HTC PPC. Proven!

Cheers,

Xue

by any chance ... can i configure the bottom link at contact page? do anyone know the how to?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bchau:
Thanks Kona. I downloaded your beta and tested on my JASJAM. Works perfect. No more occassional blank screen when launching the Cube. Cube spinning is quick, both ways. Well done.
