Is it just me or is anyone else having trouble getting word and excel to work. I get the error that says, (The file " cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate,or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file.) I did try re-installing. Is there something else I can do to make this work. It isn't a really big deal but I love the cube and want all the icons to work. Thanks and Kudos to everyone that writes these programs. I do well to install the cabs without messing up the phone so I really appreciate all your efforts! :D
[Touch GSM General] Musicman247:
This seemed to work for one person:
[Touch GSM General] wacky.banana:
Looking good.
[Touch GSM General] audri5:
That appears to already be the path but I don't really know how they connected it to the cube icons. I don't have any reg editor software. My phone would be trashed if I started messing with that stuff. Thanks for everyones suggestions!:o
[Touch GSM General] JayMike:
Its awesome, thanks!

Does anyone know how I could add another side to the cube to use as another set of photo contacts?
[Touch GSM General] Toggs:
Elf

Hi - This looks awsome - everyone agrees.

Can anyone get it to work on an original Touch - Elf?

or is it possible to run the Vogue rom on a Touch? - there must be a way round this and I'm sure you guys can figure it:)

[Touch GSM General] Musicman247:
thisguyinoc has stated that he is already working on an iCubc Config program, so it won't be too long before everyone will be able to change their program paths and Icons!
[Touch GSM General] Musicman247:
Judging from what I've seen of the HTC Touch's registry its version of APLauncher.exe is hard-coded to only have 6 icons on the Application Launcher. Now, if someone wouldn't mind being a guinnea pig I could try som things out like overwriting the APLauncher with a newer version, but it would be a "use at your own risk" type of thing. So if any GSM Touch users would be brave enough to try, I'd be willing to try as well. I'm already working on a version for the Touch Dual as well.
[Touch GSM General] dgattenb:
mmm

Its fab software .. looks good .. but my touch does not like running both the cub and the I cube..
[Touch GSM General] Musicman247:
Hmm...the iCube is just a skin for the Cube. It's not a separate program.
[Touch GSM General] appoos:
looks very nice...expecting more like this guys
[Touch GSM General] Toggs:
I'm your man, I'll try our whatever you come up with. This thing's worth it.
[Touch GSM General] Vukile:
Musicman247,

Any chance we could get some brn files to simply overwrite current icons (like the barrel anim) and animations? I ran it on the Gene and it skinned my Cube nicely. Had a problem with the SMS/Email page animation going halfway. No fourth side either,but I can live with that,for now.
[Touch GSM General] Musicman247:
You want flushing animations for the stock cube, or you just want the iCube animations (with the black background and square icons)?
[Touch GSM General] Musicman247:
Alright! It won't be until tonight (U.S. time) that I'll be able to get something put together (I'm at work right now), but I'll definitely have something for you to try.
[Touch GSM General] Vukile:
Definitely iCube. :) Do you know if theres a way I could have my Today top and bottom bars lose the gradient and have flat black colour? I can make a matching tsk myself.
[Touch GSM General] Musicman247:
Here are the iCube Animation brns. They are for a 4 sided cube, so if you only have 3 sides, rename the D's to C's and it will look okay.

Don't know about the Today screen bars. I think WM6 does that automatically.
[Touch GSM General] appoos:
Can u make it for GSM phones...
[Touch GSM General] Musicman247:
Alright, for those of you who are brave, here is the first version of the iCube for the GSM Touch. No guarantees, guys.

In fact, if things go as I expect you will have the animations and the QuickDial and MediaHub looking right, but the App Launchers will look strange. Tell me if I'm right or not.

Hmm, for some reason it wouldn't let me upload to the site. Hope Rapidshare is okay for now.

iCube4GSM.zip
[Touch GSM General] Musicman247:
Anybody tried the new CAB? any comments?
[Touch GSM General] Toggs:
downloading now

downloading now - lets see
[Touch GSM General] georo:
Mine is look like this. I have HTC touch ATT GSM (elf) :confused:
[Touch GSM General] Toggs:
Mine too unfortunately - original one had icons on all sides at least but program side was the transition bmp.

It was worth a try tho - and please keep on :)
[Touch GSM General] Musicman247:
Okay, please uninstall the iCube, soft reset, and upload your exported registry if you would be so kind?
[Touch GSM General] Musicman247:
I don't quite understand what you mean there? Could you elaborate?

Did the transitions work, or not?

Please detail exactly what happens when you open the cube, swipe left, right, up, down, etc. I need as detailed info as possible for me to narrow this down. I also need an exported registry to see exactly what calls are being made to the program.
[Touch GSM General] Musicman247:
While we're waiting on the GSM users, anybody with a Touch Dual want to try a new CAB?
[Touch GSM General] Musicman247:
Alright, this next CAB is not for the faint of heart or stomach. If you have a backup program I would advise you use it before installing.

This is the original iCube CAB except it will overwrite your APLauncher.exe, Biotouch.exe, and CustAPLauncher.exe with the version from the Sprint Touch.

Theoretically this would make your Cube function just like the Sprint Touch's (Vogue) Cube (brns for all icons, more than 6 buttons on the Application Launcher. I've had success with this CAB with a person who had a Mogul and ran the HTCCube CAB found on this site beforehand.

Again, this is highly experimental and I have no idea what might happen.
[Touch GSM General] wacky.banana:
Musicman,

I have been following this thread with a keen eye as what you are developing looks extremely interesting. I have just installed this on my HTC TyTN (Hermes) and...........it works! I'm not sure whether this was expected or not but there you go.

I have a couple of issues where individual programmes don't run (I guess that's because I don't have them loaded up). One item that definitely does not work is the screen lock (ah, just figured out why, I need S2U Pro).

I guess the only way to alter the behaviour of the cube is using registry edits (post 34) or do we now have a configuration tool available (ok, we are awaiting thisguy to sort). One of the things I want to do is to change the music player for one of my choice.

I will continue to test and let you know how I get on.

Thanks for the good work.

WB

Update:

1) First issue seen - You can still open the cube even when slide unlocker pro is running. This does not happen when the system lock is on.

2) Second issue seen - The skin takes up an awful lot of memory (9MB). Doesn't leave a lot of room for anything else. I guess the size will be paired down as development progresses?
[Touch GSM General] berardi:
Can someone post the link to S2U pro? I can't find it for the life of me. Been googling for a half hour and theres 500 versions. From what people said the pro version isn't stable??? if so why is this cube using it?
[Touch GSM General] wacky.banana:
You mean you can't find this link on page 2, post 12 of this thread? :rolleyes: I'm amazed. Downloaded it earlier today. :rolleyes:

[Touch GSM General] Toggs:
Sorry, Bad English I guess. Unfortunately they did not wok the third side had the wrong brn displayed and the side with three items had the icons missing.

Here's my registry as requested
[Touch GSM General] Toggs:
Sadly it wont install on my elf - permissions error.

Never mind - we'll get there
[Touch GSM General] Musicman247:
Alrgiht, by looking at your registry I've figured out what's going on with the GSM Touch. I'll put it here in case someone else needs a starting point.

Rotate animations are only 4 frames long (ie A0.brn, A1.brn, A3.brn, A5.brn)

Up/Down animations are only 3 frames long (A0.brn, A01.brn, A02.brn)

APLauncher.exe icons are all .png

APLauncher is hard coded to only have 6 buttons

MiniMediaHub.exe icons are all .brn

CustAPLauncher icons are all .brn

CustApLauncher seems that it might be able to have more than 6 buttons

I'll put out another try tonight. Thank you so much!
[Touch GSM General] Musicman247:
Sorry I haven't responded, I got caught up trying to make this work with the GSM Touch and your post got buried at the bottom of the last screen!

Wow! I was not expecting it to work with the HTC TyTN. I didn't even know the TyTN came with a Cube.

As for your issues:

1) This is a known flaw with S2U. So you're saying that when system lock is on and S2U comes up you can still unlock your phone with S2U?

2) Size can be fixed by deleting icons you don't use. Depending on which CAB you used the icons will be in either \Windows or \My Documents\iCube\Icons. Right now the skin installs 92 icons at 18.8k each, so there's 2.5 MB right there.

The majority of the space is taken up by the Animations, which weigh in at almost 7MB. There are 11 frames of animation for each side of the Cube, 4 sides at 150k each. I can reduce the frames in the animations in future versions and call it the low-memory CAB.

Thank you for your input! It really helps to know what other people want and need. I have the Sprint Touch, which has 256MB of internal memory, so 9MB doesn't seem like much, but for other devices I guess I need to cut back. :-)

I'll get working on this as well.
[Touch GSM General] Re-Mi:
Musicman,

Do you already have another "dare to life" trial for us "normal"touch users :P

I would really like to see 4 sides working on my elf
[Touch GSM General] Musicman247:
Not yet. I'm at work right now and have limited resources as far as compiling a cab. But I think I can have a working version tonight now that I (think) I understand how your cube works.

Could you verify one thing for me, though? Look in your \Windows directory and see if you have a "CustAPLauncher.exe" in there. Thanks!
[Touch GSM General] Re-Mi:
Just check with totalcmd and ..

it's not there

. I'm using one of bram's roms right now (see sig).

But i must say i already tried one of your erliers cubes, and the main problem back then was that i could see the 4th side when the animation was there but the 4the side never showed up. Don't think that that would be any usefull to you but hey every bit of info could help
[Touch GSM General] Musicman247:
Very good to know. Thanks!
[Touch GSM General] Vukile:
Tried to experiment and copied all the brn files into the \Windows folder.I now have a fourth side,but its like the strangest mutation ever,both iCube and the typical anims loading at the same time.:)
[Touch GSM General] Musicman247:
The problem is that on the GSM Touch the binary calls for the animations will be different than the calls for the iCube. I'll mess around with it tonight and get a CAB ready.
[Touch GSM General] Musicman247:
For GSM TOUCH Only!

Okay you brave souls, it's time to test a new iCube CAB!

If all goes according to plan this will reskin your QuickDial, skin your Media Hub, put a new background behind your existing APLauncher, and Add a 4th side with 12 buttons!

I've cut down on size quite a bit, too. This one is under 5MB.

Try it and report back ASAP!

Please back-up before trying this. It is untested.
[Touch GSM General] Re-Mi:
Do you ever sleep??,

But i'm at work right now so i can't test it sorry. (for some reason, my pc here doens't want to connect to my touch) I will test it when i'm at home again. I hope it works.

htc touch ICUBE cab

Hi,

i am new in this thread and sorry for my bad english.

i have try the cab but:

work so slowly and no 4th cube.:( :(

thanks for your hard work
[Touch GSM General] Musicman247:
Are the 3 sides that are on the cube have a black background and different icons? Do those sides look okay?

I think the problem is that so many people have different ROMs installed that some may be running versions of Biotouch that have completely different registry values.

Could someone with a

stock

GSM Touch please upload their registry? The last one that was uploaded had CustAPLauncher already called in their Biotouch directory, even though CustAPLauncher is not on the stock GSM Touch.

So, yeah, that's my rant. Sorry. Stock GSM Touch (not Touch Dual, not Vogue, not something else that kinda looks like a Touch) Registry would help greatly, I think.
[Touch GSM General] wacky.banana:
Musicman,

Thanks for your response. I understand how busy you are so no worries. To take each of your questions in turn:

a) Cube on a TyTN - no the TyTn does not come with a built in cube; however there are a fair few of us who have been using Kona's cube. I loaded your stuff across it and hey presto, we were up and running. Superb colours, textures and animations but a high price to pay in terms of memory usage on the TyTn at least. I will look to reduce the number of icons on the PDA; however your suggestion of a "low memory" option is a good one that I, and many TyTN owners, would be happy to take you up on!

What I am surprised at is that Kona's cube is a 3 sided beast, your skin is for a 4 sided cube and yet it worked fine.

1) S2U Pro - What I am saying is that with S2U Pro lock on you can still initialise the cube WITHOUT taking the pro lock off, which is a bug. However if you use the standard system lock on the TyTN rather than S2U pro you don't get this problem. Strange. I think Kona was aware of this problem and has sorted it out on his cube.

Do keep up the good work. This is exciting stuff and much appreciated.

I will try your other cab in a minute and report back.

Cheers

This was brought up in another forum actually. If there's a way to fix it that'd probably be good, though personally I've grown to actually like it lol

How do you edit program links for the cube to poit to diif. programs for media and what not
[Touch GSM General] Musicman247:
Go into the registry and edit:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>Software>HTC>Biotouch>APLauncher>App1-App11>Path for side 3

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>Software>HTC>Biotouch>CustAPLauncher>App1-App11>Path for side 4

Both sides have the buttons aranged like this:

0..4..8

1..5..9

2..6..10

3..7..11

A customizer program is in the works, so stay tuned.
[Touch GSM General] Re-Mi:
Well at last home,

A bit later than i tought,,, but donwloading and installing the gsm version now

I will tell you all later how my aventure went ..

Update1: For the record i'm using a standard "old" touch

With this cube installed i now have 3 sides

1. the contact side (looks and feel of the icube)

2. the mediahub side (icube side)

3. the normal shorcut side (normal touch style)

There is no animation ( and well *cough* i like the non animation)

Well this is all i could say about it, everything works likt it should

Greetz,

Michel
[Touch GSM General] cyburke:
this is pretty cool...
[Touch GSM General] Musicman247:
Could you un-install the iCube and then upload your exported registry? That's the whole key to figuring this out: getting an "old" Touch registry and seeing exactly what's going on in there as far as animations.

Good to hear that the Quickdial and Media sides work. Thank you for your help!

installing ICUBE

I downloaded and installed the ICUBE cab file. and It shows as an installed file in the remove programs dialog box. How do I start the application? Thee is no icon in the programs folder. Obviously I'm a little new at all this. Ken
[Touch GSM General] Re-Mi:
Well, your device asked you to reboot right ?

After the reboot just open up you cube it should be changed to the icube.
[Touch GSM General] Re-Mi:
Sure, i could do that,

Uhmm how do i export my registry or atleast the part you want. Just point me to the program and hopefully i will figure out the rest.

[Touch GSM General] Musicman247:
Please use "Export" instead of "Backup". It will allow me to read the registry on my computer. Thank you.
[Touch GSM General] wacky.banana:
Hi Musicman,

Took the plunge and tested this on my TyTN (Hermes). Only got 3 sides loaded. The 4th side never came up.

No change to background either. The side with email, ie, etc did not show up any icons at all.

Hope this helps you to pinpoint what's gone wrong.

To summarise, the file that has worked for me on the TyTN straight out the box was your GSMExperiment file that I commented on.

ONCE AGAIN, HTC TOUCH ONLY! NOT TOUCH DUAL, NOT SPRINT TOUCH, HTC GSM TOUCH ONLY!

Now that that's out of the way,

Okay, this is just for verification. Do only at your own risk (life and limb and all that).

Please manually install the "Files4GSM" into your Windows Directory. I find that Total Commander works well.

Then install the iCube.cab found here in this post.

WARNING! THIS (IF DONE CORRECTLY) WILL REPLACE APLauncher.exe, Biotouch.exe, and add CustAPLauncher.

This should upgrade your device to a more recent version of these apps, allowing you to customize your cube to have more than 3 sides, and more than 6 buttons.....theoretically.

I tried a cab that did this earlier (Experiemental) and thought, I wonder if Windows just won't allow a CAB to replace a system program. So, give this a try and report back.

If this does not work I'll give it one more shot for a 4th side, but may end up just keeping it 3 and releasing a 3 sided, 6 button version for you GSM Touch users.

Make sure you've got around 9 MBs of free space on your device for this installation.
[Touch GSM General] Toggs:
Musicman - YOU ARE A GENIUS!!!!!! I just instaled and it looks FAB!!

Some of the shortcuts dont work straight out of box - but that gotta be an easy regisrty fix.

A big thanks for all your effort - any more testing i can do just let me know
[Touch GSM General] Toggs:
Sticky Cube

Hi Musicman - now we have the cube working on touch I wonder if you could have a think about this question:

With the cube now looking so lovely do you think there is a way to make it "sticky" i.e. make it always active. At the moment if you launch an application then quit it you have to reactivate the cube (same as the standard one) Wouldn'y it be great to have the cube as the gui?

[Touch GSM General] lit2uh:
iCue working on a GSM Touch

Musicman,

I've been following your progress with iCube - congratulations! You've got it working on a GSM Touch. I simply installed the 1.11 CAB, made copies of the original versions of ApLauncher.exe and BioTouch.exe and then copied the contents of Files4GSM.zip into the Windows directory on the Touch. That's it - it works.

As others have mentioned, not all of the links point to actual programs, but that is easily fixed by editing the registry entries. (If I'd ever done any CE programming I'd write a configuration tool - but I haven't...)

One thing still doesn't work properly: The Media Hub still shows its hard-coded behavior (obviously, since it's still the original version). I plan to download a patched version that I saw somewhere last night and try that - anyone already done that?
[Touch GSM General] Re-Mi:
Musicman,

Your a genius :D it works on the GSM touch now. There is only one small thing. when you slide to the mediahub for a split second you will see the three buttons all with "icube" in them but that's nog a big problem.

Now i will be on my way to find some "editors tools" because of my personal tast i don't like the looks of the icube. But once again :bow: you did a great job pulling this off.

[Touch GSM General] motisu:
Hi Musicman,

None of these versions of biotouch,aplauncher and custaplauncher work on the BA. I suspect that it is the old problem of hardware checking. I am presently using Xplode's cab rollup of ftouchflo/cube/control and all funtions work properly. Would it be possible to look at the version of biotouch and aplauncher in his cab and make the necessary modifications? The changes were made by JasonStern so he may be able to point you in the right direction.
[Touch GSM General] Musicman247:
Pardon my ignorance, motisu, but what exactly is a BA? :o
[Touch GSM General] Musicman247:
Alright, here is the MediaHubMini.exe install this in your Windows directory for full iCube goodness (hopefully).
[Touch GSM General] motisu:
NP, it is so old an HTC device, I'm not surprised that you haven't heard of it:). It is a Blue Angel, also known as a Imate-PDA2K, O2-XDA IIs, Seimens SX66. It is a 3.5" screen, 128MB RAM, 96MB ROM, GSM and originally loaded with Win2003SE, but through a lot of persevering people like Helmi_c, Xplode and others, it is able to run WM6 very nicely. I am presently using WM6 on it using a ROM made by Xplode and am able to use Xplode's cube cab with excellent response time. From what I understand, some of the HTC utility executables have a "model test" built into them and will not run on older HTC models. Both Xplode and JasonStern have found out how to ignore this test and allow the exe's to run.
[Touch GSM General] lit2uh:
MediaHubMini works

Brilliant! It works perfectly. Thanks for the quick response - iCube for the "GSM Touch" is, I would say, a complete success.
[Touch GSM General] wacky.banana:
Musicman,

Installed on my TyTN as directed, including the new media hub mini and.......yes, once again, works straight out the box with 4 sides.

Again not all the apps work and I wish to personalise the cube. Do you know how thisguyinoc is getting on with the development of his tool?

Cheers and thanks for the hard work. Looking forward to a low memory version as you suggested previously. How does one make a donation?
