[Touch GSM General] Musicman247:
Alright, looking at your registry you need to edit a few things.

1) Create the Key "Background" in the HKLM>Software>HTC>Biotouch>APLauncher folder and give it a valid .brn value

2) All IconPath and IconPressPath need to be .brn,

not

.bmp

Do those two things and you'll be golden.

if it's made for the vogue why didn't you put it in vogue forum?
[Touch GSM General] Musicman247:
If you'll look at the very first post (ie. the person who created this thread) you'll see it was not me but Zyphlin.

He was confused (as were most people at the time) about the whole HTC Touch vs. Sprint Touch.

I tried to rectify the situation, but the thread had already gotten a lot of attention. I created a thread in the Vogue forum, but at the time there were only 3 people who were on that forum, so the thread got pushed to the bottom, while this one stayed on top.

So, we came up with a solution for HTC Touch owners as well that you can find in this thread (post 4 I believe).

Hope this helped you. :D

i don,t know if anyone can help it will be great...

thank you
[Touch GSM General] PeacefulWarrior:
do you know how to make the Cube appear when i press the windows icon? (instead

of the startmenu appearing)

would be cool i think.

is there a simple registry edit that can do it?

thanks

Confused on iCube

**********************************************************

Hi.. Im new with this thing but Im so eager :rolleyes: to learn on how to install icube on my htc phone. So I already installed "Files4GSM", the total commander, iCubeV1_11.zip & icuberIcons.zip in my phone... so what will I do next??? :eek: It seems that after I installed those, nothing even happened nor nothing shows up to download something.

Please kindly help me musicman. You have a good day.. :)

confused rigth now, :confused:

This is awesome!

I don't want an iPhone, and usually avoid immitation crap, but this is truly brilliant!

Well done, and thanks!

[Touch GSM General] witchshady:
Any updates regarding this nice app???

I'd love to get updates or an upgrade for the icube...this is a very nice interface...

I'd like to know, for example, how to change the cube animation, you know, like for example how the cube spins, etc...

But other than that, I'd recommend this to anyone who wants a new look for their HTC Touch...there's this guy in the office who beat me to the punch in getting an HTC Touch, and he never did let me hear the end of it... until he saw my device and realized he had an Elf and I had an Elfin...then he saw my iCube...and then he realized that I was just better at everything than he was...that was it for him...he was gonna stick his head in the toilet for being such a dumbass but I stopped him LOL :D
[Touch GSM General] DikkieDick:
I'm not getting it. I've followed the instructions (copied the 3 files in files4gsm.zip) to \Windows and installed Icube.cab, but after the reset nothing seems to happen. When I look at the storage card, I can't also see a folder pointing to Icube or whatever.

What is getting wrong?
[Touch GSM General] witchshady:
Have you tried pulling up the cube?

Make sure you install the mediahubmini to your device...better yet, install EVERYTHING in your device. Install it from the device itself. Drag the files to your storage card from your PC. Then once it's in your storage card, you have to install it FROM your device. Tap the icon on your device and it's going to prompt you to install it either on the device or the storage card. Choose DEVICE.

That should work...

so,if i install total commander on my phone, i dont have to installl files4gsm? please help clarify. thx

Can u post a cab for the animation.

I like the original Cube format. But love your animation.
[Touch GSM General] Crypt!c:
okok.i was asking a stupid question..so has anyone encountered problems on their gsm touch using this files4gsm? i dont dare try it on my phone.
[Touch GSM General] witchshady:
I haven't encountered any problems so far...been 3 months since I installed it, and I've never had to hard-reset since then.
[Touch GSM General] Crypt!c:
so in that case, i can install the files for gsm without problems? u are using the p3452 elfin rite

Windows Mobile 6.1 Compatibility

I just upgraded my ROM to 6.1 and iCube no longer works except for the speed dialer side. The other sides don't properly display any graphics anymore, although if you can guess right the button presses still work :D

Anyway, has anyone else noticed this problem? Has anyone worked around it? Are we going to have to wait for the fantabulous Musicman to create a new skin? Or should I just take the dive on the new cube application he's working on?

AJ
[Touch GSM General] witchshady:
yes...i haven't had any problems. so far... :D

What you do is you back up your data first...use Sprite Backup or some other backup application. That way, when you DO get in trouble, all you need to do is restore your data, then you're good to go.

Remember, if space is not a problem, install everything in your device. make sure you install mediahubmini first, then install the cube. Afterwards, install the cube configuration tool (thisguyinoc's cube configure). That's a separate tool, by the way. Just search for it here.

Let me know how it goes.

ps...Yes, I am using an Elfin :)

Sprint Touch 6.1 Rom iCube fix

Hello everyone,

This is my first post but love this forum. I have learned so much in just two small weeks. I am a newbie but I found a fix for my Sprint Touch with the new 6.1 ROM that is working perfectly for my iCube. So far I have no issues except for launching iContacts from the dial page (that seems to lock up my cube, but this also locked up my stock cube so it is something with iContacts).

What I did was really rather simple and if you dont mind writing over your APLauncher.exe, Biotouch.exe, CustAPLauncher.exe, and MediaHubMini.exe then hopefully this will work. Please back up all your .exe files as I did for safety.

I simply copied the supplied files4gsm files on post #1 to my Windows directory and overwrote the existing files. I have iCubev1_11 installed so all icon paths point to My Documents\iCube directory.

That was all that was to it and the cube is working like a charm.

Good Luck
[Touch GSM General] sonicshaman:
where is "MediaHubMini.exe" there only seem to be the other 3 files in the gsm zip? I cannot get this to work, its just a big mess. I had it pre 6.1 and really liked it. Any thoughts-I tried the above suggestion?

So i think it must be installed on the device. Try to free up memory and try to install again...
[Touch GSM General] sercio:
It cant install it on my HTC Touch :(

I get a error message that my memory is low and then it says it couldnt be installed :S

I try to install it on my SD card which has 300 mb free memory to use so cant imagine why it does not !

Any solution?
[Touch GSM General] marmin:
When you say free up memory do you mean storage as the only 2 things left are the Tcpmp and fullscreen kbd which dont look like they will free up enough anyway. How has everyone else managed. Is it possible to install on card? Has anyone else managed to install it with other stuff still installed?

Tried to install on the TMO HTC Wing

This looks really cool. I tried to install it on my T-Mobile HTC Wing. It says it installed but after reboot it doesn't appear anywhere. There is two files it creates Anim and Icons. My storage memory goes from 30 all the way down to 11. Takes a huge block of memory. There is no way to launch the app. ???? anyway I tried.

The Slide2Unlock Pro is excellent!!!! Thanks for that anyway.

Also Microsoft Money 2006 does Not work.
[Touch GSM General] Zyphlin:
Remember, this has only been tried on an HTC Touch. Its meant for PPC's that already have the HTC TouchFlo Cube. We do not know if it works with fTouchFlo yet.

To my knowledge, yes, it must be installed on the device, not on a card.

Lox, Music had the same problem. He ended up having to hard reset to clear everything out to test, and it worked. His theory is that if there are ANY OTHER CUBE HACKS previously installed...4th wall, new animations, new background, etc...that it seems to have some issues. My best advise is to remove everything off your Touch that has to do with the cube, THEN install the cab. I'll see if I can get music to peak over at this thread and give some insight. The same goes to everyone else having issues with the cube's icons not showing up everywhere. DELETE ALL OTHER CUBE MODIFICATIONS BEFORE INSTALLING.

We are also hoping to have a readme out soon with information about what parts of the registry to edit and how to do it so you can put in your own icons or your own links. In the future we're hoping to have a program that will streamline the customization process.
[Touch GSM General] marmin:

[Touch GSM General] Musicman247:
Alright, lots of question have been asked, so here come the answers.

This may help most of you. The iCube is NOT a program. It is a skin for the HTC Touch Cube. If you do not already have the HTC Touch Cube Built in to your device, then this will do nothing for you.

Second, this was made for and tested on ONLY the Sprint Touch, which is the HTC Vogue. The GSM Touch has a different Cube entirely and calls on different images for it to work. If someone would like to send me their registry entries for the GSM Touch I wouldn't mind taking a look at it to see if it would be possible to port over to the HTC Touch, but for now this is only confirmed working on the Sprint Touch (HTC Vogue).

Thirdly, yes, this must be installed to the device. Basically what the CAB does is create and change registry entries as well as put files into the main memory. The registry makes calls to the main memory, so if the files are not there it will error out. I'll look into making an install to card version, but I would need to know what the device calls the card (ie Storage Card, Card, memory, Speicherkarte, etc.).

On another note, I have heard a rumor that a program to install the HTC Cube on non-Cube devices may be coming out shortly, and that it will be compatible with this skin and others available for the Sprint Touch (HTC Vogue).

Can't you just edit the registry manually?

Or, are these links somehow fixed and cannot be changed?
[Touch GSM General] Musicman247:
All links can be changed through registry edits.

3rd side programs are located at

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>Software>HTC>Software>Biotouch>APLauncher>App0-App11

4th side programs are located at

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>Software>HTC>Software>Biotouch>CustAPLauncher>App0-App11

There are 12 other icons not used included with the CAB, they can be found in \My Documents\iCube\Icons

need help on enabling it on Touch Dual

Although Blob8me reported () that the iCube is not working on Touch Dual, I deeply believe that it's very near.

Musicman247 would you mind providing a non-cab installation file pack for our trial? In fact I've modified Biotouch>Biotouch and Biotouch>CustAPLauncher such that the 4th side is seen and clickable to launch the target application. Yet, I encountered these strange behavior: :(

(a) (first time slide-up to launch biotouch) > slide sideway to see the CustAPLauncher side > slide-down > see the animation of hiding the side (i.e. the correct .brn in corresponding Path* are displayed) > CustAPLancher is still visible!

(b) (continue from (a)) use hardware key to go back to Today screen > slide up to launch Biotouch > slide sideway to the CustAPLauncher side > the side appears in a flash then covered by the client area of the Today screen (i.e. only the top Start bar area and bottom shortcut bottoms area is not covered by the Today screen)

any clue on above? :confused:

one thing I observed is, APLauncher.exe is up and run at background upon system bootup but not for CustAPLauncher.exe. is it expected that CustAPLauncher.exe must be up before Biotouch.exe?

thanks in advance.
[Touch GSM General] akmurthi:
Hi,

Can anyone repost the images of the iCube. Images not opening
[Touch GSM General] Musicman247:
So the Touch Dual does have a CustAPLauncher.exe in the Windows dir? If so, try putting a shortcut to CustAPLauncher in the \Windows\Startup dir. See if that fixes anything.

Also, this happens occasionally on the Sprint Touch as well, except you only see the words for the buttons, not the entire graphic. usually pressing the red "end" key to bring it down, opening it again, switching to a different side, then closing it by swiping fixes it.

So your saying that's the only bug? Please keep me up to date on the progress.
[Touch GSM General] Musicman247:
Hmm. They're opening fine for me. Try going to my photobucket and see if they work. http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee199/musicman247
[Touch GSM General] akmurthi:
Hmmm.........Photobucket is blocked in office........that seems to be the problem....

Also I have an HTC Touch (Purchased in India).......would the iCube work on the same?
[Touch GSM General] lox-tt:
Thanks, that could be possible. So i can´t try the program, because i´ve got the touch enhanced and a rom cooked by swiftblade. So i don´t know what is changed in cube by swiftblade. A hard reset will not bring any changes...
[Touch GSM General] davidteosk:
First of all, a very nice project. Good Job.

Test on Touch Dual. Same issue as reported. would really love this to work also on touch dual and that be really cool.... :)

Icons on the APLauncher>App0-App11 didnt appear. TEXT appear. Clicking on it works tho.. :)

Icons on the CustAPLauncher>App0-App11 didnt appear. TEXT appear. Clicking on it works tho.. :)

Both text on the APLauncher cube and CustAPLauncher will overlap each other. Have to slide down then up to get a refresh TEXT.

We are pretty close on getting it working. Couple of issue observed

a) Icon to appearing issue

b) APLauncher/CustAPLauncher overlapping each other.

c) Animation isnt working actually. the BRN again i suppose.

was it due to the BMP to BRN coversion which causes the icon not appearing?

All ICONs on the CONTACT PHONE page appears fine. (I.E. the PHONE/PHONE HISTORY/ CONTACT/ X <==this page]

MUSIC/ SPRINTTV /Streaming Media [Missing Icon again, TEXT is ok, Launcher is OK]

LOCK/FILE EXPLORER/GAMES/.........[Missing Icon again, TEXT is ok, Launcher is OK]

COMMS/CALANDER/TASKS/......[Missing Icon again, TEXT is ok, Launcher is OK]

In conclusion, if we can solve the issue of icons not appearing and the overlapping between APLauncher/CustAPLauncher if we flipped between them, i guess it will be almost perfect.
[Touch GSM General] Musicman247:
Could you export your registry settings for HKLM>Software>HTC>Biotouch? It would help in finding out what the conflict is. Thanks.

Also, do you know if the Touch Dual Cube uses brns or pngs? It may be as simple as me releasing a png version.

[Touch GSM General] Musicman247:
An existing cube installation would mean that your device would have the Cube even after a Hard Reset. It means it's in ROM, not a program installed.
[Touch GSM General] Vukile:

Great Skin but

Everything works great except the file exlporer button, it indicates that its being pressed with no action following, any ideas?

thanks for the great work.
[Touch GSM General] Musicman247:
Yeah, I've figured out what's going on. The File Explorer button (App4 in the registry) is the IM program on the stock cube. In the registry it has a Param setting of -service "SMS" which would not make sense when calling the File Explorer program. I didn't specify a Param entry in App4, so it was still there.

I'll post V1.01 on the 4th post. Install it over your current installation (no un-install necessary) and it should fix it.

Edit: Version 1.01 is up on Post #4. This fixes the bug where the File Explorer button would not work.
[Touch GSM General] Udo410:
Great, thanks for the quick fix, very nice work.
[Touch GSM General] pp18:
Musicman, thanks a lot for your help.

yes, CustAPLauncher.exe pre-exists in the read-only ROM shipped with Touch Dual.

finally i found the problem source of my manual trial - wrong window class name used in the "App4" key. so far no screen refreshing problem in the 2 app launcher sides.

will post the correct reg file tonight when i'm back home, so that you can consider a compiled back for Touch Dual. due to different versions of the cube components in Sprint Touch vs Touch Dual, i guess we need a separate cab.

to avoid confusion, i'll post to the Nike forum and add a link here then.
[Touch GSM General] Musicman247:
So you're saying it does work on the Touch Dual with a different folder call? Would that happen to be double slash (\\) instead of single slash(\)?
[Touch GSM General] Moe5508:
This looks awesome! Thanks.
[Touch GSM General] Musicman247:
Version 1.10 is now up on post #4 HERE. This includes the previous bug fix, plus adds the ability to change your icons on the 4th side through registry edits. This also allows the icon "blink animation" on the fourth side. BIG thanks to Kona_Mtbkr for making this possible! No un-install needed before installing this version.
[Touch GSM General] pp18:
ah no. just my stupid mistake.

i previously set "App4" = "CustAPLauncher \\Windows\\CustAPLauncher.exe"

which make biotouch.exe unable to get the window handle of CustAPLauncher.exe

for full set of reg key for Touch Dual, pls see this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=1730058

(i guess it's very similar to the Vogue approach, maybe just with small changes in certain reg keys due to different versions of TouchFLO)
