How do we check the version that is running?

I am using Dutty's ATT Beta 2 Rom - not sure if I need to update or not.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kona_Mtbkr:
To check the version of TFloCubeCtrl, you just simply execute it with any parameters. Easiest way is to click on it from File Manager. Message Box tells you what version it is.

V1.1.0 adds a few new commands, but probably the biggest fix is that it will no longer activate when the device is locked. Oh, also executing shortcuts for the Command_2 parameter works in this version.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kona_Mtbkr:
Interesting ... this person never asked if he could include my software. Hmm, no real credit seems to be given to any of the actual developers that did all the "real" work on these applications :( Granted, the core cube software belongs to HTC ... but it would be worthless on our devices if it wasn't for guys like efrost and myself. Then config apps by carlosp_uk and shaps just sweeten the deal.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] decimusmaximus7:
I installed the complete cab file on a fresh rom install and everything is working perfectly. How do I take advantage of the new feature which allows you to set a program that will open on the left-right swipe when not a cube face, but the same swipe on a cube face will turn the cube and not open the program?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bchau:
Have you tried use the FTouchFLOConfig-cube+apps.txt as the config file?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] decimusmaximus7:
If I change the config file, will it still work with the ftouchflo config program that came in the cab?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kona_Mtbkr:
Although I haven't had a chance to test ... it should still work just fine. Basically, everything that my app does is just considered parameters to FTouchFlo. To be safe, backup your original before you try it. Or, read the TFloCubeCtrl - Readme file ... which details out how to use the parameters to perform the various actions.

Really ... since every FTouchFlo gesture is mapped to my application, I should create my own config app, that makes it easier to choose the parameters for my app. Maybe someday ... too many things going on right now.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kona_Mtbkr:
Interesting. So far what I'm finding out ... is that there are slightly different versions of the HTCCube apps floating around. In this instance, xplode has included QuickDial v2_5_906718 in his cab ... whereas before he had v1_0_523713. I'm not sure of the differences at this point ... other then the fact that some people report it's faster, and other report it just doesn't work at all.

I used to have v1_0, so I'll be dumping mine and reinstalling from xplode's cab, and we'll see what I get!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ^^rac:
Hi guys!

Any idee where we can get the new cab?

Or is this the same one without the contact page working??

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] JasonStern:
QuickDial v2.5 contains the same device version check that HTC Home v2 contains and prohibits it from being used on non-authorized devices. After removing this check, I'm still getting the same issue I had with v1.0 :-( The issue (at least on my samsung i760) appears to occur during initialization when it tries to create a new window. I'm going to try to create a dummy app, with the same parameters, to see if this is caused by something that occurred earlier.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] atomixpaintball:
Hey guys I am trying to delete the registry key: HKLM\Software\OEM\MASD\QuickDial so I can view my contacts tab in HTC home.

But I am having a problem. I am using PHM Registry Editor and I cant find the delete button. I am able to locate the registry key, but I cant find a way to delete it.

I tried using Active Sync and explore the PPC, but it only displays the properties of PHM.

Any suggestions? Everything else is working great!

Make Cube work like commander..

If you could tweak the interface to work like Touch-Commander then you would really have something wonderful.

Check out http://www.touch-commander.com/

You can change TouchFlo settings to make this work over bio..

The 2 items that make this way nice are the multiple pages and the ability to setup buttons and icons with tab and hold menu.

One improvement would be the ability for the pages to rotate in and out.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] James62370:
With your stylus, keep it on the key you want to delete for about 2 seconds, a second page will pop up, click delete, then exit out of the phm editor, if contacts page still not there, try a soft reset...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] atomixpaintball:
Yea I just figured it out. Thanks though!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kona_Mtbkr:
That sounds serious ... but once you get over the HTC device check, I'm not sure why you would be getting other errors.

I just finally found some time to dump all of the old cube stuff off my Kaiser and install xplode's latest cab that I linked to on Post #1. For me, it works perfectly ... he's got everything in the right place, and speed is just fine. In fact, QuickDial is much faster than the v1.0 I had before. It took a couple seconds the first time I got to that cube side ... but after that, it's almost instant when I spin to that side now ... which is an improvement over the 1-2 seconds it took for me before.

So that's what I'm seeing from an HTC Kaiser point of view. Regarding other devices and QuickDial ... I'm thinking the following:

1) On non-HTC devices ... QD v2.0+ has an additional detection that will not allow it to operate on non-HTC devices

2) On "older" HTC devices ... I think that one of the dll's that QD depends on might also need to be updated. This would explain why it works fine for me and others, but not for some. Also, I'm wondering if that might also be a factor with JasonStern as well, after he disables the version check.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kona_Mtbkr:
New Cube Apps

*Very* Interesting

Just got a little time to play around with newer versions of the HTC Cube apps. So far, here's what I see is the potential:

It seems that the FPS timings are configurable (can make it spin faster)

There are more animation frames in the new biotouch (although it also seems backwards compatible)

Possible to add a 4th cube face of another ApLauncher

ApLauncher can be configured up to 8 icons

QuickDial loads almost instantly

The rainbow effects might be gone with openSpin command (I can't recreate like I could before)

I'm working out the details as time permits. I'll probably make a cab myself once I get things worked out. Only downside I see so far is that we'll need a new version of TouchSettings, oh and there may be a version check in the new apps to confirm they are running on an HTC device.

Still no flash required ... same great TFloCubeCtrl commands available ... all apps running in memory @ 857kb on my device (probably more for more contact pictures)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] duttythroy:
Glad you are still working on the touchflo my friend I still sometimes get the rainbow colours, but it would be interestin if the cube could have 4 sides
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] motisu:
I'm running a BA with the older versions. If you need a volunteer to try the newer versions on this old HTC device, I'll be glad to give it a shot and report back.

Beta 1.10 - My Experiene Shared

Took the plunge and installed the same cab as Kona did via Xplode. Once loaded up this version was a lot quicker than the previous beta version

I liked the way the contact launcher has been altered to drop straight into dialling a number rather than opening up Contacts. I too noticed the multi coloured screens on occassions but I learnt to ignore it after a while.

I decided to reconfigure medialauncher so I could launch my own alternatives to the given applications. This is where things started to go wrong.

Once configured, saved and soft reseted, I got a number of apps opening simultaneously. So where, for example, I was expecting my video player to come on screen, medialauncher instead launched both the default app as well as the one I had altered it to. I spent several hours playing about with the config tool to work out why this was happening but to no avail.

I'm not sure what the issue is exactly; it would be good if other Hermes/Tytn users could share their experience.

I have now gone back to the original beta file, running the Rome animation, which runs perfectly. Only issue there is the way the contacts manager works; however it works, and very well too.

So onwards to the 4 sided cube and carlos_uk's advanced tool.

Thanks for the good work chaps.

Hope this helps.

I try to install this cubectrl, but it says me that can't find Biotouch.exe

I have a TyTN and I can't find this file inside the phone...

what can I do?

Thx
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] wacky.banana:
Need more info. Are you trying to run this off a cab. Have you used the cab in post (I think) 355?

WB
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] colaiutavinnie:
I installed FTouch 1.4.1 and then TouchFLO Cube Ctrl.

I setup my ftouchconfig file.

Ftouch.exe starts and work fine, but when I try to slide my fingers down to up the phone get an error: it can't find Biotouch.exe.

I tried to search this file in my phone but with no results :(
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] motisu:
I can confirm the multiple launch problem. I changed the cube to launch Coreplayer as my video player and it launches both pimg( the default program) and coreplayer.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] wacky.banana:
Cola;

I'm feeling really positive today so I thought I would do the search for you. You need to look at post 367 to find the cab you need. In fact, go here to download it...http://www.megaupload.com/?d=5N0PW6O3

Please read the thread in full to see what's going on.

Good luck.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kona_Mtbkr:
WB - Interesting about MediaHub and links. I hadn't gotten back around to redirecting them to HTCAlbum to even notice that behavior. My guess is that this might be an app version issue as well, as I believe I saw that someone had to mod the app in order to trick it into launching only the desired app. I know a few of the details around this ... so I'll check into it and see what I can find.

I've got a hold of the icons that I needed for the newer ApLauncher version ... so hopefully I'll have all the new apps up and running on my device soon. Then I'll see if I can start messing it up by adding a forth side to the cube. There's also the possibility of I guess "smoother" animation with some additional frames. Right now, mine is still using the 2-frame open and 4-frame spin animations. The new app has potential for a 5-frame open and 6-frame spin animation. Although ... you won't then be able to use the altered animations I included ... until people start mod-ing them for the new devices.

So far, I haven't seen any issues with compatibility between TFloCubeCtrl and the newer biotouch!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kona_Mtbkr:
Thanks for jumping in WB. I would add "please read at least Post #1, and possibly 2-5 as well ... as they pretty much inform you what this project is about, what's included where, and what isn't"
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] wacky.banana:
Kona,

It does irk me immensely when people won't take 10 mins out to read! However its fast approaching Xmas; goodwill to all men and all that! :) :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kona_Mtbkr:
Confirmed - new MediaHubMini does not have the multiple app launching issues that the version in Xplode's cab does.

Unfortunately, my ApLauncher icons still don't display. Hmm ... the theory as to why made sense, but then if true ... these new ones I tried should have worked. I must have something else set wrong ...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] centtavo79:
Great work Kona! I was having the issue where pimg and htc album where both launching when I pressed the button for pictures even thought I used Carlos touch settings to load HTC album. If I install the new mediahub file should it fix this problem?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] colaiutavinnie:
Thank you so much.

I installed this cab and now it works fine with this Cube Ctrl. Thanks so much dude.

But now I have 95% Storage memory full... lol :D

Now the cube and the control works fine but a little slow. It is normal?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kona_Mtbkr:
Yes ... I've confirmed the problem, and that the new MediaHubMini fixes it! More details soon ...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kona_Mtbkr:
Glad you got it working. "Slow" is a relative term ... and means different things to different people. The good news, is that with the net set of apps I have, the animation timings are configurable to a point, so you might be able to speed them up to you liking. Also, the QuickDial app seems to load a bit quicker.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kona_Mtbkr:
New Cube Apps

I've worked out my issues with ApLauncher, and gotten my icons back. It was mostly an issue since the newer ApLauncher doesn't use the PNG files anymore ... but also uses the BRN files for it too. I was stuck trying to get AL BRN files that would work for me.

So now I've gotten the new apps, + my TFloCubeCtrl running on my Kaiser. I will probably make a cab of just this ... for people who want the extra performance of the new apps without the other changes. I need to confirm, but this should be working with all the "normal" animation replacement sequences.

Next ... I think I'll adapt Musicman247's work on getting the 4th cube face integrated. He's done it with copying the ApLauncher app itself ... but if biotouch supports at least 4 faces, I'm not sure why you couldn't swap you own app in there. If so ... this is going to get real interesting again :D.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bchau:
Thanks Kona. It just keeps getting better and better. X'mas seems to be coming earlier. BTW, I also notice that even when the hermes keyboard is slided out then back in, (screen changed from portrait to landscape to portrait), I can still open and spin the Cube without having to restart the biotouch. Fantastic.:p
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] wacky.banana:
Kona,

I like the sound of what you are saying. This is sounding mighty positive. Excellent work.

Do you have a dependency on carlos-uk's new customising tool for the revised cube or can we live without it for now until he finishes development? I'm not sure how far away he is from completing it.

WB
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kona_Mtbkr:
So far ... everything is looking promising. Only downsides I see are the HTC device verification (only problem for non-HTC users), and the usage of the BRN file format for ApLauncher icons makes them a little more difficult to change (but still possible).

I have no dependencies on carlosp_uk and his Touch Settings app, as everything can be updated in the registry. However, I had seen him posting on some of the same threads I've been reading, and had seen that he was looking into expanded his Touch Settings app. Now, it looks like he has an "experimental" version posted to his thread, so I'll check it out and see if it works.

I'm hoping to have a cab created by this weekend for the "pentahedron version" (5-sided) of the "cube", with the new apps. If I have enough time, and things go well, I may also have the true 6-sided cube worked out as well.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] wacky.banana:
OK thanks; very much looking forward to it.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] decimusmaximus7:
I've seen some pictures of people with a app launcher with more apps than the 3x2. Does anyone know where I can check this out?

They were most probably using commercial Touch Commander app.

Hi Kona, I tried copying the mediahubmini file from the first post but still launches both apps instead of one, is there another file Im missing? thanks for the help, great app by the way, I have been using it since I install it, and no issues excep for the dual launch, :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jrdejavux:
Found the answer to what i needed thanks anyways
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kona_Mtbkr:
Newer version of APLauncher that I have will do at least 4x2, maybe more. I'm just working to figure out a few more things and put them together in a nice installer.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kona_Mtbkr:
I haven't posted the new MediaHubMini yet. However, mine also worked before I found the new set of apps that I'm working with. IF you check out Carlosp_uk's thread about his Touch Settings app ... you'll see other posts about a double app launch issue. The problem with the old ver of MediaHubMini is that it wasn't exactly registry configurable ... so Carlosp & crew had to patch the exe to get it to do what they wanted. If you MediaHubMini launches 2 apps, then you aren't running a correctly patched version.

I can try to upload my ver of MediaHubMini, which apparently was patched because I never had this problem before. But I can confirm that it is a known issue with the Xplode cab. I'd fix it ... but instead I'm rather just release the new apps, because they are faster and solve a couple of other issues!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jrdejavux:
Hello guys, i installed all files and everything is working great! except that when i get to the Cube quick dial window it takes 5 to 8 seconds to load the contact pictures, i seen the youtube video and it seems to load super fast any ideas ???
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kona_Mtbkr:
People on diff devices are reporting varying amounts of lag here. All I can tell you definitively is that on my Kaiser, the QuickDial version from Xplode's cab took 2-3 secs from the time of rotation completion to displaying contacts. But the newer version that I'm working on building into a cab displays almost instantly!

I'm having trouble finding time to work on this ... but it's getting close, and hopefully this new version performs better for everyone.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Po5tHuMaN:
ok so ive installed the touch cube on my htc4350. i got an icon in my programs that says Cube Settings which allows you to change the icons and stuff. how do i start using it ?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kona_Mtbkr:
I've uploaded the patched version of MediaHubMini as an attachment to Post #1. Please following the instructions for replacing that file and try it out ... should fix the dual app launch issue.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kona_Mtbkr:
Well, my icons are sort of a mess ... and I somehow screwed up the startup animation ... but I successfully have a fourth side on my cube, which is a 2x4 version of the ApLauncher!

Needs some refining before this can be made into a cab.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] motisu:
Hi Kona,

Anything new about the quickdialer problem with older HTC devices? I would love to use the newer version but if quickdial is dead to me, that's a real bummer.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ara_ffat:
just got confused a bit i've deleted the mediahub(preload).lnk in the /windows/startup then soft reset then overwrite the mediahub.exe then ran the cube mediahub,try the picture...waalaa nothing happen(it was set to HTCAlbum previously):confused: why??

try with the music and videos,ok it run well(did'n't change the actual setting yet)

anything i missed during the step of overwriting the mediahub file?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kona_Mtbkr:
Hmm ... I didn't get a chance to try this yet, since I'm experimenting with the newer app versions. But I know this was working for me before. Possibly you need to update the values from the Touch Settings application, even if you don't change anything ... at least open the app check the settings, and click on Save again.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kona_Mtbkr:
xda user JasonStern has been feverishly working on why QuickDial won't run on his Eten. However, this may be an unrelated issue to yours.

At this point, I'm not sure. I can't do much myself, as it's working on mine ... so I really have no path for investigation. I'm very close to releasing at least an alpha of the new apps ... so you can try them out, and see if they work.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kona_Mtbkr:
New Apps are Close

As I mentioned above ... I am close. I figured out my startup/shutdown animation problems (hex errors!), and I've put some better icons on my second app launcher.

It was then that I discovered the real problem with creating a cab installer: with a 2x3 standard and a 2x4 custom ... I don't know what apps/icons to put on the 2nd App Launcher page! It's going to be hard to fill up a 2x4 grid with apps that every has on their device ... in an icon scheme that everyone likes! Now, granted they can all be customized ... but it's not what I would call trivial to move things around ... and with the BRN graphics format, there are a few more loops to jump through to create them.

So ... I'm at a bit of a crossroads here. I've got the apps figured out to the point that I can start creating cab installers. I guess the first one I might create is the "standard" pentahedron (3-sided+top+bottom) with the new apps, and hopefully faster performance (at least you can now tweak the FPS).

From there ... what's possible is a pentahedron with an AppLauncher that has more apps on it (but how many ... 2x4, 3x4, what apps, and what graphics), or a true cube with a 2nd AppLauncher (but again what apps/graphics on that side?) or also either of the above with more animation frames. I'm not exactly a graphics wizard ... but I've been in contact with a couple of guys that are ... so I guess I'm looking for popular vote on direction here. Once again, since they may not make for really useful posts, it may be best to just PM me your thoughts.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] JasonStern:
QuickDial FIXED!!!!!

Actually, it is a Samsung I760, but who is counting? The important part is that the -full- cube is now working on my device!!!!

I don't know exactly what was causing the memory exception, but I was finally able to trace the root cause to the QD_Bar_NoBar_HL.png file. Maybe a incorrect photoshop header, an incorrect file size, a corrupted byte...? I don't know. However, replacing the file fixes the issue!

The attached file should look nearly identical to the original, but a lot smaller (I just reduced the color count). Just replace the existing file on your device (probably in the \windows or \htccube directory), restart, and everything should work!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] centtavo79:
Thanks for the upload of the new MediaHubMini it worked like a charm! can't wait until the fourth side of the cube is released. Thanks again.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Musicman247:
You're able to get the icons to show up on your 4th side? That is something that has been plaguing me for a while now. Could you reveal (possibly in a PM) what changes you made to your registry or programs to get it to work?
