Sorry 4 buthering u , I thought might some one face this prob & solve it.

I installed xpload cab, that collecting ur cube + Cube setting + Ftouchflo

The registery is deffer.

HKLM\Software\HTC\Biotouch\APLauncher\App1_1, App1_2,..etc

However thanks for the great work

Sory wrong edit
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] FAMAN:
you need the AL_xxx.png
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kona_Mtbkr:
That makes sense. I think we're working towards finding everything that's need for a "full" cube intallation
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kona_Mtbkr:
This cannot be done "easily" ... it is the behavior of the QuickDial application. This would require altering the behavior of that program in some manner, through patching.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] GiGiSSiMo:
Really it's not true. I've italian kaiser. I've not installed the new htc home today plug-in 'cause it's in system rom and i don't need a newr version only for adding or removing music tab from configuration (i use kaiser tweak).

FIRST: when i add a contact from htc home i can see ALL my SIM + OUTLOOK contacts. When i add a contact from Quckdial i can see only outlook contacts.

SECOND: the contacts i add in htc home are not displayed into quickdial and the contacts i add in quickdial are not displayed into htc home.

Cheers.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] GiGiSSiMo:
U cant PLAY video with camera album... only preview... then if u tap on a video WMPlayer starts... I don't know if u need this information at this time... but the parameter to do this is -type:video

cheers
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kona_Mtbkr:
I can't necessarily validate that the Xpload cab has everything for Touch Settings to work ... but I also have no reason to doubt it. Again, I've had no time to review these cabs. Anyways, can anyone who has installed Xpload's cab help out by verifying that it's working on your device?

Also, I've corrected my original post ... and you are correct with the path. I had accidentally dropped the "Biotouch" part of the path. The path you have listed above is indeed the correct path.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kona_Mtbkr:
GiGiSSiMo ... omg, you're "absolutely" right. I swear that this was the case ... but I went back and checked (I had hidden my Favorite People tab since the cube works so well and has bigger pictures) ... and sure enough, it hadn't picked up the people I added to my cube. In fact, they are tied to different registry entries ... with a different format even.

I apologize greatly for imparting the misinformation, and thanks GiGiSSiMo for checking up on me!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] levex:
My device (AT&T 8525) says biotouch is not running. I looked in Windows folder for biotouch.exe because i saw your shortcuts in the ZIP. But that was not there! Please help! Thanks in advance. Sorry for bad English
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kona_Mtbkr:
Post #1 states that what you download from the links on Post #1 is not a complete cube install ... just my new way of controlling the cube. You need to install a working copy of the cube first. Post #1 has a link to duttythroy's cube installer cab.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kona_Mtbkr:
Excellent ... thanks for the confirmation

Already fixed ... even though this seems like a flaw in FTouchFlo itself, but I've accounted for it in my next release v1.1 (soon!)

I haven't had the time to actually attempt to execute this sort of change myself. From the Cube Customization thread over on the Elf forums, it looks like just about anything is possible ... but takes a lot of manipulation and work with the BRN files. I was thinking about a tool that would automate the switching of the animation files ... but this would basically just be a one-click copy sort of thing. I would see the cube color being the same way ... the graphics files would need to be prepared and pre-packaged, and the tool would basically just help you manage copying them into the right place. Could probably mix some compression in there for better storage of "source" files.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] wacky.banana:
Kona,

If you could either create your own tool or improve on the existing tool from carlos_uk then that would be an absolute godsend! What is definitely required is an easy to use tool for doing this and carlos_uk's tool is a great start.

I have also been in conversation with Schaps on this, as part of his next ROM; however I am not sure how much of a priority this is to him (low, is my guess).

From my perspective whover get's there first wins, get's all the kudos, and, most importantly, gets my donation! :)

What say you to the challenge, kind sir? :)

Is this just ONE file to get the the Cube on ur phone ?

cos is it the updated one
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] The_hesham:
Thanks FAMAN

problem solved

Appreciated

Best regards
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] megaman:
I wasn't able to connect here last days and don't have time to read all 20 last pages I missed.

So I don't know if this had been suggested.

Did you plan to make a 4th side customisable ?

In this 4th side we could add apps...

Thanks for the answer and if it has already been asked for, then forgive me...

By the way, it's been one week that iuse your cube and no problem till now...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] centtavo79:
Thanks! Kona_Mtbkr I had all the other cubes but so far yours is the best! I just had an issue when I installed the cab a few pages back because all the cubes menus where in spanish, luckily I read spanish and figured out how to change them using the touch settting app. Thank again and keep up the good work, I might just keep my sprint mogul after all, I was having cube envy but not anymore!! LOL

Cannot close the Cube

:confused: I can't seem to close the Cube eventhough my FTouchFloConfig.txt file has specified the following parameters:-

UpDownApp:/Program Files/TFloCube/TFloCubeCtrl.exe

UpDownAppCmdLine: close closeApp

When I do the Up-Down finger movement, the Cube appears to 'close' - so the 'close animation seems to work. However, when I subsequently do a Left-Right or Right-Left finger movement, the Cube seems to just stay there and is able to spin.

I was under the impression that the closeApp parameter would really CLOSE the Cube...until the Cube is reopened/restarted via a Down-Up movement to open the Cube once more.

I'm baffled :confused:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Neo-theone:
Maybe your parameter for left-right are still like:

LeftRightApp:/Program Files/TFloCube/TFloCubeCtrl.exe

LeftRightAppCmdLine: spinRight openSpinRight
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mikewtw:
Hey you're absolutely right! :P I totally forgot about this OpenSpinRight parameter. Once I removed it along with OPenSpinLeft, it workeds perfectly. Thanks for the help.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kona_Mtbkr:
Ya Mike ... that second parameter there is the "command to run when you're not in the cube". So really, in your config, the "close" does close the cube, and the "closeApp" command will be executed when you do a U-D gesture on anything other than the cube. And as you found out, those openSpinLeft/Right commands were actually causing the cube to re-open when you did a R-L/L-R gesture outside the cube!

Glad you figured it out though ... I'm doing a bit more work on the readme file, plus I'll probably include some examples.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kona_Mtbkr:
Beta v1.1 coming soon.

Has bug fixes, some of the "issues" (not technically bugs :) ) addressed, plus a few new control options thrown in for good measure.

Should be out in the next day or two.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] GLO:
Was gonna say, 'What bugs???'

Keep up the excellent work!:D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] wacky.banana:
Ah, that old chestnut,, bugs versus issues...

Kona,

Interesting perspective this; "issues, not bugs". You brought back some amusing memories of interesting debates I have had with developers and testers over the years. Certainly brought a smile to my face. :)

Before you release the next version might I suggest that you create a near bullet proof set of instructions for people with and without working cubes to be able to make the migration. This should save you a considerable degree of pain and this thread growing to a thousand posts, most filled with people not being able to migrate properly. This way, with a bit of luck, you should be able to keep things relatively clean and be able to capture just the issues (or should that be bugs) associated with the next release.

Alternatively you can always sling out a cab. :)

Hope this is helpful

WB
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Xue v.2:
Hahaha, I fully support this, a good readme file over installation is good =D Wasn't it caused pain in the ass for you to answer many nubsie questions, like mine's... sowwy... =D

The only bug-as in "bugging" me-for this application is the cube itself, the quickdial app for specific... No problems or bug for the cube controll for me, yet =)

Cheers!

help

I am unable to add contacts and none of the icons work. pleace help:confused:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] blazingwolf:
Are you using a non-HTC device? If yes then you won't get any help with this question as no one here seems to care that it doesn't work.

I have been trying to get it working but I have had no luck yet. :(

V 1.1

Awaiting patiently!!

I hope someone is gonna make a nice .cab for this version aswell!!

I dontated today!

I totally forgot:P

Cheers guys!!!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kona_Mtbkr:
Wow "no one cares" ... a tad harsh dontcha think? In my defense, the issue of QuickDial not working on some device is beyond the scope of this particular thread. However, because it is closely related, you'll see it is on my "Issues" list ... and I do believe that people are looking into it. Perhaps we need to start another thread dedicated just to this issue ... that way the postings can be more focused.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kona_Mtbkr:
GLO - thanks!

WB - Glad you caught the subtle humor there! Point taken about the installation instructions (which do no good if no one reads them though :) ). I'm going to leave it up to duttythroy and xplode to create new cabs, just not my focus at this point. Besides, I error on the side of, "if the cube works, leave it be". My app will basically be a drop-in replacement of the old one.

manaaa - Also nice to see some people read the first posts, and appreciate my goals on this thread. While there is no way for me to prevent the "I can't get it to work" posts ... we can at least minimize them. (FYI, user duhhh did PM me, and I have responded)

^^rac - thanks for the donation mate!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] GLO:
Im hoping someone can point it out to me.

Im trying to change the link for the pictures from the default to the HTC Album Landscape. Im just not sure what link or exe file i should be linking it to and in what folder?

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kona_Mtbkr:
!BETA v1.1.0 AVAILABLE!

OK, it's out there. Have at it people ...

Once again, I'd request that if you're finding strange behavior that you think warrants discussion amongst the users, then post a message on this thread. If you find something you just think is a bug you want to report, then PM me, and I'll review and update Post #5

I'm trying to keep the thread at a reasonable size ... as it's now grown to 32+ pages
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] medkid:
thanks for v1.1 coming

I have a question: in FtouchFloconfig.txt, without your TouchcubeCtrl, I have these text:

LeftRightApp:\windows\WkTaskcmd.exe

LeftRightAppCmdLine:"/l"​

now with touchcubeCtrl, what do I need to do ?

LeftRightApp:/Program Files/TFloCube/TFloCubeCtrl.exe

LeftRightAppCmdLine: spinRight "\windows\WkTaskcmd.exe" "/l"

Correct me if I'm wrong, thanks

oh, I found the solution, just create a shortcut like: 23#"\Windows\WKTaskcmd.exe" /l then name it WKLauncher.lnk and voila:

LeftRightApp:/Program Files/TFloCube/TFloCubeCtrl.exe

LeftRightAppCmdLine: spinRight "/windows/Wklauncher.lnk"

nothing easier. cheer!!!!!!!!

.CAB

Hi guys

Does anyone know if there is a .cab available for v1.1??

If so, please supply link!

Im not sure when v1.1 was released! Thanks Kona!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kona_Mtbkr:
Hmm ... It was working well for me, then late last night I did see the rainbow once or twice. It seems intermittent, at least for me ... which makes it difficult to track down. I'm hoping it's not a timing thing, but it might be. So far ... it seems that you get rainbows if I startup Biotouch, and then call it to run the spin animation too quickly. Unfortunately, we're gonna have to leave this open and I'll keep working at it.

Note: the original touchflo app wouldn't even open the cube once biotouch terminated after a screen rotation. You had to manually click on a "restart cube" link, and then press the button again. At least we're a little bit better than that, no? :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kona_Mtbkr:
arty, are you saying that v1.0.4 was running fast(er), and now v1.10 runs slow ... or are you saying that v1.1.0 runs just as slow as before with v1.0.4?

I'm confused, because outside of a couple of new parameters to parse, I didn't do anything (knowingly) that would have caused much of a slowdown. And it runs at the same normal quick speed for me as it did before.

Anyone else with a Hermes care to comment on performance vs v1.0.4?

TFloCube 1.1.0 + FTouchFlo 1.4.1 cab

Here you go ... but do install the working cube 1st then install this cab :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ^^rac:
Cool

Hi there!

Thanks.

But must i first install the cab of the previous version and then this cab????

Or must i do manual installation of v 1.1 and then this cab??

Thanks mate!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kona_Mtbkr:
This cab installs my TFloCubeCtrl v1.1.0 app and FTouchFlo v1.4.1, and sets up the StartUp links for the HTC Cube and FTouchFlo. As he mentions, you'll need to already have the HTC TouchFLO cube installed (biotouch, aplauncher, quickdial, mediahubmini).

This cab installer is good if you already have a working cube, and want to just update to the latest versions of TFloCubeCtrl and FTouchFlo. However, my only warning would be that based on your previous install method ... the paths might not be the same. The only real danger is that you may end up with multiple copies of things on your device. Specifically, I think some installers were putting FTouchFlo in a "Touch Flo" folder, instead of a "FTouchFlo" folder as this cab does. I would consider the FTouchFlo folder to be more correct, as it will works with schaps FTouchFlo config tool that I just found and linked to in Post #5.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kona_Mtbkr:
Including TFloCubeCtrl in cabs

cruzzmz and/or others,

Please include the "TFloCubeCtrl - Readme.txt" file in the TFloCube folder when you create the cab installers. It may very well help answer some questions before they get posted to this thread! Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] alfieman2001:
Where can I get a cab of just the Cube itself? The two on duttythroy's tread seems to be a combination of FTouchFlo, the cube and TFloCubeCtrl, or am i mistaken?

I've tried searching for it but havn't been able to.

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] arty:
well sliding was faster in 1.0.4, in this version its a little bit "laggy". maybe its just me, will try it when i hardreset my device again, maybe its faster then.

but the contacts pics show up now 1-2 sec earlier :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] motisu:
possible bug

I'm not yet 100% sure, but the new beta could be causing my Today to totally freeze. After replacing the exe, everything works OK for a bit, and then the today button,screen activation area (top left corner) are dead. Pbar works, buttons work, but today is gone. Only option is to reset. After reset, same thing. Today works for a bit and then freezes. After replacing the exe with the old version, everything returns to normal. I am still trying to understand if anything else is causing this by interaction with the new exe.

Anybody else see this?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] arty:
oh yeah, i noticed the same as motisu, not really freezes but the device acts strange little bit laggy, it takes some time when i wanna run some apps from the today screen. loading is slower...it seems to me.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bchau:
1. The initial startup of the Cube seems to be slower than 1.04. But once it is loaded and spinned, subsequent spining is just as fast. That is on my Hermes.

2. I think I have been able to reproduce the rainbow effect. Follow these steps:

a. Don't open (D-U) the Cube, instead simply do the L-R or R-L motion to force open and spin the Cube. Sometimes you would see rainbow effect right then.

b. Spin a few more times the Cube.

c. Do a U-D motion to close the Cube.

On closing the Cube very often this is when rainbow effects appears.

However, if I do the D-U motion first to open the Cube, then subsequent spinning or closing of the Cube would not cause any rainbow effect.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kona_Mtbkr:
I've gotten the rainbow effect on mine again a couple of times. For me ... it's harder to produce it on v1.1 then before. It definitely *only* occurs when biotouch gets started up as a result of a openSpinLeft/Right command. If biotouch is started from the shortcut in StartUp, or from the D-U gesture, then no rainbows appear. I was thinking there's something special in the way the D-U startup of biotouch works ... but this doesn't explain how the StartUp link also produces no rainbows, as the StartUp link just launches biotouch with no params ... effectively having it run in the background (what you want on startup). That's what makes me think it's a strange timing thing. I'm going to do some tests and see if I can prove this out. I may create a new version where we can customize a delay between launching biotouch and telling it to spin ... that way I can have you guys help me out in testing theories :)

Thanks for the feedback guys, and be patient ... and we'll work this out.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] DaVince:
I never really was a fan of the Touch Cube.. but now, seeing that it wasn't as slow like it used to be, and now that you guys made it work fully... I'm now a fan!

Awesome work Kona. I wish I could do what you guys do.

I'm currently having problems with my paypal account, I promise to give a donation once I fix it.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kona_Mtbkr:
Curse those rainbows!

OK, so I built in an optional delay time on this ... but it doesn't seem to make much of a difference. I can still get rainbows to appear at times.

In fact, I can get rainbows to appear even if biotouch was started up by using a D-U gesture. I'm getting it fairly reliably now with the following sequence:

Ensure biotouch is running by using normal D-U gesture. Spin the cube, then close via U-D (no rainbows yet). Then, open the cube again with a openSpinRight command on a L-R gesture. Close the cube with a U-D gesture and whammo ... rainbows. Now, open the cube again with L-R gesture and you see the rainbows again just before the spin. Another U-D gesture and you get some brief rainbows. Now ... here's the crazy part! Open again with another L-R gesture ... no rainbows. Close with another U-D gesture, and this time, no rainbows?! Continue opening via the L-R gesture, and I won't see any rainbows again ... until I use a D-U gesture to open the cube. After that, the cycle repeats, and it's 2 more open-close sequences via a L-R gesture before the rainbows are gone.

OK, so good news ... it's not likely a crazy timing thing (although there is this indeterminate time between starting biotouch and when I can get a handle to the window). Bad news ... I'm not exactly sure what it is. Remember ... that opening the cube with a spin when it's not currently the foreground app is not really something that it was designed to do, as I don't believe the Touch allows this. So new theory, is that *something* happens as part of the cube startup animation sequence that keeps it from displaying the rainbows during the cube closedown sequence. Unfortunately, my disassembler is flaking out, and I'm too lazy to reboot my machine tonight. Research will continue tomorrow ...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bchau:
Kona, I have exactly the same result following your steps above. Yes, it is really strange.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cruzzmz:
kona, really forgot bout the readme of FTouchFlo .... maybe will include it on ur nx release :D

yes some of the older release do put FTouchFlo.exe in TFlo folder, the cab that i did all FTouchFlo items will be place in FTouchFlo folder
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kona_Mtbkr:
Just a note on the funnier side of things:

I've tested this darn cube so much ... that there was this small gap between where the screen edge is and where my screen protector starts ... and now it's starting to pull up a bit in the middle because I've swiped my figure from bottom to top so much!

I get the best results when I start the gesture actually off the screen, on the beveled edge of the surrounding metal. In fact, if you watch the HTC Touch video on HTC's site, that's pretty much what they show also, where they start the gesture on the little HTC logo which sits center just below the actual screen!

Anyways, I'm gonna need a new screen protector soon if I do any much more testing :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kona_Mtbkr:
Actually ... I was referring to my readme file ... TFloCubeCtrl - Readme.txt, which is different from FTouchFlo (if there even is a readme for that).

FTouchFlo = efrost = actual gesture input interpretation

TFloCubeCtrl = Kona_Mtbkr = linking gestures to control the cube, or other events/apps on your device!

I think I may just start making my own cabs anyways ... apparently I could've done it all along with VS2005
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] motisu:
Can't figure out why, but I uninstalled all cube related apps,(ftouchflo,cube and cubectrl) and reinstalled. Now everything works normally aside from the contacts face still coming up only after 4-5 sec. Go figure what was wrong. :confused::confused::confused:
