You guys are doing a great job! Can you help me with one thing please?

I have made a working 4 sided cube, the only thing I can't get working are the icons. I have put the .brn icons in a directory called \Application Data\CubeIcons.

I just get a black square where the icon should be. The square works when I press it though.

Thanks.

edit: I should haved said. I have a Touch Cruise.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] hawk eye tim:
The only folder i found the icons to work from was \windows\

Hope it helps

How to clear parameter key ?

Thx in advance :)
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] mauro_s:
If you have duplicated the Aplauncher key for create Aplauncher4, someone "param" string are not empty.

App0 (email) have -service "activeSync" in the param string.

I lost some key in the registry

Please Can someone post the content of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Biotouch\Βiotouch (a .reg would be so good)

I delete few keys and now the cube doesn t start anymore :p

I now it sounds stupid but that s th way I am.

thx bob
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] sultanofsumar:

This does not work for the Cruise. Is there a cab that will bring the fourth side?
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] sultanofsumar:
4th side

Anyone have a cab that work for the 4th side of the cube?
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] butzchan:
It does for me. I can edit both ApLaunchers with touch settings v2.25pre.cab.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] hawk eye tim:
I found the touchsetting program would not add or remove a extra side but once you had created a extra side in the reg then use touchsettings to customise it.

i have attached my reg settings and files if it helps you get started but be aware any alterations you have already made to the cube will be lost.

Move all logo files (*.brn) and Aplauncher.exe to the Polaris windows directory and click on the reg file from within the Polaris then just restart.

Hope this helps
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] mpact:
@phsnake:

thx for your advise, I was about to install that cab when I read the whole thread very cautious again and found the mistake. Indeed the summary in the first post is missing one step:

@panosha:

I think it would be helpful if the summary in the first post was updated with the missing part.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] panosha:
I believe you speak for step 1: In HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Biotouch add a folder with name APLauncher4 with the same content of APLauncher. Is that right ?
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] mpact:
step 1 is correct.

I'd say an additional step is needed stating something like this:

In HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Biotouch create a new key by copying and pasting APLauncher and rename the new key APLauncher4.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] sultanofsumar:
cube reg

I don't see where I'm supposed to copy those files. Could it be because I'm using pocket controller?
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] panosha:
Maybe you need a registry editor in your PDA.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] Ka Honu:
Don't know if he is but I am - how do you do that?

Thanks.

windows file

I have a reg editor on the polaris, but the only windows folder are windows ce software and windows ce tools.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] gregkerkyra:
This is my curent icons:

I want to change the browser icon with this:

How can i do it? What name need to give on the new icon and where i have to put it (folder windows?)?
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] butzchan:
You can install Touch Settings 2.25:

http://ww2.fatattitude.com/software/software-item.aspx?view=download

It will allow you to navigate to the file. It also does a lot more. Great program.

If you do it manually, put it in the windows folder and change the registry settings. Just make sure it is .brn format...you can name it whatever you want.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] sultanofsumar:
icon

Did you get the opera icon to work? I have it in brn format, but it blacks out the whole screen if you put the regular and the press icon in. I did a TomTom on the 4th side, with both, but it is too small. Any ideas?
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] bobcntsa:
In order to have buton to appear you have either to replace your original brn file or change the path of the icon in the registry but in both case the file must be in the windows folder.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] sultanofsumar:
icons

OK. I got it now. The only thing that is really pissing me off is the background color is a shade lighter in a couple squares. I can't live with that! Also, is there anyway to find out paths? These programs don't bring you to them. Like TomTom can't be found anywhere on my device, and I want to make a shut off button on the second 6 app launcher. Thanks for the help thus far. I appreciate any tips.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] FlaTEriC18041983:
Hi, I have a problem, I wanted to change the shortcuts on 2nd Applauncher in 4-sided cube to what you can see in the txt-file attached.

only problem is, that no shortcut, except New MMS, does anything, what did I do wrong?

I copied the shortcut "values" (like app directory and param) from ActionScreen, where these shortcuts forward correctly, why don't they do anything in the cube?

In the 1st Applauncher, which I didn't touch, Email and SMS/MMS-button don't function anymore neither, why is this?

Could perhaps someone with original HTC ROM extract the complete HKLM\...\Biotouch-key-folder with subkeys, and post it for me to compare?

Thx in advance,

Eric

EDIT:

what I was trying to get, was the following shortcuts for one of the cube applauncher-"pages":

PHONE | SMS/MMS

NEW SMS | NEW MMS

MAILS | NEW MAIL

any ideas? :(

EDIT2: ok, it worked now, only problem I keep having, is that turning the sides of the cube, the animation doesn't fit anymore my personalized cube, because I now have 4 sides, and I changed the order of the sides to 1) Applauncher4, 2) Applauncher, 3) QuickDial, 4) Media

Does anyone already have an idea to solve this?
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] edan:
I got the four sides working etc. There is one thing that bothers me: The animation for the fourth side is off, showing contact side when flipped...

Has anyone figured out how to modify the animation paths for each side, so we can create another 6 paths and point them to 6 new animation brn's?

It should be simple enough, but I can't find where to designate them for each side of the cube...
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] FlaTEriC18041983:
yep, same problem as in my last posting EDIT2... but I think with some graphical skills, and a few changes in registry, one will get the 4-sided cube correctly in 3d-animation as well... since I'm a bit busy with work, I'll only check it next weekend, after that I will post my results
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] pdagenius:
I have had a similar problem. With 4 sides scrolling them left works fine whereas when I scroll to the right I get the text of side 4 over the background for the Quick dial side.

Also I have been unable to copy the APLauncher.exe file from my windows folder as this is part of my ROM and it won't let me. Instead I copied a file from a different ROM. Am not sure if this is normal not being able to copy ROM files. Maybe I need a ROM without TouchCube and to load from a cab file instead?
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] edan:
correct cube animation

I've given up on getting the four sided cube animation looking right.

It looks like the problem is that the registry would have to be modified to link Cube4 to a new set of animation graphics (say D0-5). The real task is finding out where this is set (somewhere in Cube4 I imagine).

Placing the new graphics in place is a cinch as would be adding additional paths to those graphics. No problem there...

There are some TC's out there with four sided cubes like the xda Orbit2 from O2. I'd love to see and copy those registry biotouch settings.. :rolleyes: anybody willing to share???

In the mean time, I removed the contact side altogether, since I added my favorite contacts to the HTC Home already. The "new" 3rd side is a new set of shortcuts. I reworked all the art to fit the icons...

[Touch Cruise ROM Development] FlaTEriC18041983:
wow, not bad, what graphics program did you use, to compile the turning elements with your personalized icons?
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] pdagenius:
Below is the link for the Biotouch registry settings from my O2 uk Orbit2. I look forward to your opinions on it. It definately has a 4 sided cube.

http://rapidshare.com/files/97454152/O2Biotouch.rar.html

Great work with your modified 3-sided cube. I would be interested in seeing you settings and graphics files too. Were you thinking of making them available in the forum?
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] athanaso77:
Yes... that would be a great idea!!!
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] edan:
I used Photoshop to create the animation frames. Just used the originals as guides and superimposed the new panels I made with the proper perspective tweaks. It's a lot easier than one might think.

Thanks for the O2 registry settings. I am working on it now to see if I can throw a fourth side with correct animation frames designated to it.

I'll be back to post all my work on here, registry settings and graphics files for both the three and four sided cubes (assuming that I nail the four sided one...)
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] edan:
Ok, changing the registry settings in on my TC to those of the Orbit2 to introduce 44 motion paths instead of the 33 that come with the TC didn't work.

I added the additional Paths from 34-44 and linked them to the correct graphics, but setting the "TotalBMP" to 44, kills my cube altogether. It won't even show up.

Perhaps someone can figure out how to tell TouchFlo that there are 44 paths instead of 33?

Setting "TotalBMP" back to 33 brings back the cube with the four sides, but obviously the animations aren't right.

Any thoughts?
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] pdagenius:
Have you tried the obvious.... and loaded all the registry settings I posted completely over yours? Yes, this will overwrite you settings temporarily but if you dump yours first, you can always put them back again.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] edan:
I changed all the settings from your registry to mine so they match exactly. Except where they don't matter, i.e. shortcuts to icons, .exe, or .brn

I've tried completely overwriting, but I haven't found a way to do it. Any help?

Here the 3 side Cube Stuff:

Get it >>> Edan's Custom 3 Side Cube.zip
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] pdagenius:
Thanks for the files I will have a look.

With the registry editor I use (Vidaya) there is an Import option which will load the file I posted and overwrite that section.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] edan:
Ok, I've got it all working, and the animations are perfect.

Right now I have QuickDial, Media Hub, Custom APLauncher, Custom ApLauncher with all the new icons and correct cube animations...

Here's how I did it...

1. Deleted my own Biotouch key

2. Imported the Biotouch Key from pdagenius (See page 8 of this thread)

3. Created Cube animations based how the four sides of the cube move from right to left (A1-A5 for cube1, B1-B5 for cube2, etc...) based on originals.

4. Created a D1-D5 animations.

5. Converted and transfered all new brn files back to /windows

6. Changed the new registry paths to my shortcuts and icons

[Touch Cruise ROM Development] lanny:
Awesome! An amazing job!
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] snufkin:
brilliant! looking fwd to your howto on animation.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] edan:
Alright, all done. I've put together a kit for creating the custom 4 sided cube in the above .gif animation.

I tried to make it as simple as possible, but as always, some technical savy will be necessary. That is, unless some brilliant guy comes along a creates a .cab that does it all, but I doubt it...

Enjoy!

Original Touch Rom? Can it work?

okay, i have a european Touch with original rom FYI...

i've got the 4th cube side to show.

when i spin the cube it just spins around and skips to the next side.

It also shows no icons when spinning.

so basically i can see it but it won't stop on that side.

am i missing something??? i installed the 4thsideonly.cab and that's

the only one that seems to get the 4th side to appear.

i've tried to install manually from the first post and it doesn't do a thing.

it exists, i just can't seem to get it to stop on that side. it just passes it

up. i'd really love to see this work.

is it possible to make the 4th side work with an original HTC Touch.

any thoughts???

craig
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] edan:
If you are following the instructions at the beginning of this thread...

it sounds like you forgot to copy APLauncher.exe from \Windows\ , rename it to APLauncher4.exe and paste it back into \Windows\

I hope you didn't install my pack, as it's only tested in Polaris/Touch Cruise... :confused:

But it should be definitely possible, since there are some versions, like Sprint, that have four sides...
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] cpeacha:
Yea... i've always been pretty good at tweaking my pda's

using registry and i did follow this one to the T.

I've built the registry values from scratch the first time and

that didn't work... only slowed down my cube. Then i tried

both cabs that on on this thread.

Don't know what i'm missing....

While i'm asking... is there a way to launch apps using QuickDial

instead of your contacts... that would satisfy me even more

since i don't use the quickdial side of the cube....

Thanks...

[Touch Cruise ROM Development] sageone:
Does the path have to be \windows\.....

I am trying to map Pocketcm, which is located in Program Files\Pocketcm\pocket.exe, but it doesn't work. Do I need to move the executable to the Windows folder?
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] edan:
The path can be anywhere that leads to that .exe file.

1. Make sure that it's really Program Files\Pocketcm\pocket.exe and not \Storage Card\Program Files\Pocketcm\pocket.exe or something like that.

2. Make sure that the string called "type" is set to "0" and not "1" under the App key in question.

Should work every time...
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] Löyly:
Hey, i did alter name and path to correct. But still messenger don't appear in that cube. Email is still an option even i changed it .

And it would be easier to do all this via computer. Is it possible? I can't copy+paste those folders and keys in pda.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] Löyly:
Hey, is it possible to do all that with computer?
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] Löyly:
HALOOO!!!

How can i delete those extra keys i created? And is there c+p option in touch cruise? I did it wrong i have to get rid of them. Is there any one reading??

And do you know path to opera mini? I can't find it anywhere.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] phsnake:
1. use registry editor(Resco, TotalCMD, SKtools...)

2. Search it was somewhere already, problem is Opera Mini is JavaApp(i guess *.jar) it was explained how to make *lnk

I changed the icons but 'I know who' explain the reason that when the cube around the icons that are turning the old icons and not those that I have made? Pi once toured the cube back new icons
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] FlaTEriC18041983:
that is because this animation is made of 5 pics per movement... and if you don't change these as well, you'll have the old icons on the turning anim.

was discussed few pages ago
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] edan:

[Touch Cruise ROM Development] FlaTEriC18041983:
@edan, where do you find all those cool icons, those are not in the big icon-thread, or am I blind?

EDIT: do you have safari for WM6? or is it only the icon ;)
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] edan:
I just search up and down the internet for crystal vista icons and stuff... there are several forums where people test their graphic skills and they make nice stuff...

I use that compass icon for google maps, I'm not an apple guy so I didn't even know that safari existed...

O2 Orbit 2 and Home settings

hello,

I've read through this thread with great interest and I've even started to play a bit.

unfortunately the Fattitude program did not recognise the O2 custom cube side settings.

but the real question that i have is about the home plug in. on the Orbit 2 is it just disabled by default or actually removed from the device altogether?

it looks like there are settings existing in the registry for htc home and htc home plug.

has anyone got it to work by changing some settings?
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] edan:
It only works on some versions of biotouch, I'd stay far, far away from it... just do everything manually... takes a while but it works better...
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] AshleySear:
Even more than four?

I wonder if someone could help.

Iis this method able to create a number of extra sides ie; bring it up to 6 (or even more),if so please explain how.

I have had the Tytn for a couple of weeks,it was supplied with Dutty's V4 ROM so would I also be right in assuming HardSPL is already done?

Many Thanks

Hi Edan,

May I ask if your 4sided cube works with Touch Elfin?

In addition, Your registry entry does not seem as reg entry in my touch.

Tcpmp

I have successfully changed the Video part of the Media Hub to Tcpmp, but it gives me a File not found! error. I was wondering if there is a media player or a way to set Tcpmp to use some sort of library feature so I do not get this error?

Is there a way of linking the media hub side to folders. I have all my music, videos and pictures on my storage card so it would be nice to click on music and it loads that folder on the storage card.

Hi,

Can you upload the 3 icons for MediaHub Cube side ?

[Touch Cruise ROM Development] C J:
Hi Edan,

Would really appreciate if you could post your reg settings or

give a guide as to how to edit the reg to remove the fav contacts side

and change that to applauncher2 instead.

I find it more practical than changing the 3sided cube to a 4sided one.

thx in advance.

Edit: Thanks anyway. Did it by experimenting with the reg. Got it done.

Can this work on a Elfin

Hi!

I was able to add the 4th side to my Vogue's cube since the reg seems to be very similar to the one on the Polaris... Everything is working great.

I am now working on making the same to a friend's Elfin (Touch XL) but his biotouch registry is a bit different. For exemple: I cannot find (and edit) the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Biotouch\Βiotouch to change the DWORD VALUE Total Cubes from 3 to 4. for exemple... It simply doesn't exist!

I also don't find the keys regarding the quickdial in the biotouch... How weird! Why don't they do this all the same?

So i am wondering if i would just configure the whole biotouch registry like mine. I wouldn't change the names of his softwares (ex.: APLauncher"="08092007 V2.3 Final Release) in the reg of course but all the cube's paths and settings...

Do you think this can work or do you have a better idea?
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] ZaLiTHkA:
Hey all, I'm not too new to WM devices, got no problem with registry editing, but I'm completely new to the HTC TouchFlo menus... Only had my HTC Touch (Elf) for about 2 weeks now. Oh, and if you're wondering if I'm worried about the warranty, I've already installed an updated ROM... So that should answer those questions. Lol.

Anyway, just a few questions before I attempt this:

atao mentions an entry called 'TotalCubes', I don't have any entry in my device registry like that.. Is that meant to be standard or can I add it myself? Is it maybe part of an tweak or program that I don't have?

Must that file be called APLauncher4.exe, or can it be any number (like 2, 3, etc)? That first lime, I'm a bit confused as to whether that's renaming the actual application (in Windows folder) or in the registry; as hawk eye tim says he 'created a new key'.

My apologies if this has been covered in another post, I have skimmed through the thread looking for more details, but I didn't see anything that answers these specific questions..

EDIT: Yes, I know it's an old thread.... If there's a newer / easier way to do this, please let me know? I'll wait for a few replies before I try anything..
[Honor Magic Guides, News, & Discussion] shashank1320:
Saw many post from new users and senior members as well and most of the time there are lot of confusion on the OTA part, especially for the rooted phone. Few says it gets (I am one of them) and few says it doesn’t as rooting capabilities modifies the system boot.img and also we have unlocked bootloader so device wont get the OTAs. I have been using the Huawei/Honor phones for 2 years now and have been getting all the OTAs on rooted phone and confirmed the same many time but still there are lot of confusion and users thinks they wont get OTA on rooted phone.

Just confirming here that you will receive OTAs on rooted phone without any issues. This is 2nd update on my phone since rooted in past 2 months.

To show root

​

To show the update received

​

Note- I am not using any firmware finder or other things for this as I dont trust on FF as it messed my Honor 5C in February and I given up on it.

Instructions-

If you are rooted but then rolled back to stock recovery, just download the OTA and update.

If you are rooted with TWRP recovery, flash the stock recovery first and then download the OTA to update. (TWRP wont be able to update OTA)
