I want my cube back

[sorge]

I had a rom on my Touch that had both, so I assume it'd be easy to do on the touch pro, it was really cool having both.

Launch an app: Slide to programs (or hit right softkey at home panel) and touch app you wanna launch.)

Dial a person: Either slide to people tab and flick to fave person, click pic and dial, or hit phone button and select contacts. I dont see the big deal. You're making it sound like running a marathon or something.

However, each person is entitled to their own opinion. It should be possible to run both at the same time as suggested in this thread. I used this method on the mogul and it worked fine, before I decided that I detest the cube. It just reminds me of some crappy Samsung or Sony interface...I don't know....I just hate it LOL

It is just the number of steps to get a task done that I would like to lower.

I like that on the cube, it gave 9 choices of who to call with 1 single flick. Press.. and then done.

This is especially nice when driving and I need to call somebody... you could use the cube almost without looking... No such luck with the tf3d... at least for me.

I am sure there are others out there that would like to have both as well. I know I would like both... or at least the cube

yeah i rather the cube also, had the 3 sided one all customized to move extremly fast and much more accurate than this tf3,but i like the flip clock on the tf3 if i can get it to display with ilauncher i would not even use tf3, i hate having that call history and alarm display always under the flip clock.

You could try installing this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=358102

I used it on my apache, and it was quite nice. Haven't tried it on the Diamond, though.

The info on this post says it doesn't work on VGA devices. Anyone found a VGA CUBE yet???

I as well miss the cube--guess it boils down to personal preference. But continuing on the favorite persons example, the flipping the rolodex method in TF3D is cool looking, but there is a lot of times I wish it was more like the cube with a wall of contacts to instantly choose from.

Have anyone considered customizing Ultimate Launcher to mimic the cube? I used to do it on my Mogul. It takes more work yes, but I'm just offering an alternative.

How about using HTC Home for VGA?

I agree the cube was much better to navigate with. I could easily dial a number while driving. Now it virtually impossible.

Exactly! Maybe it wasn't as sexy as TF3D but it handled almost everything I wanted to do in the easiest possible way. I've dropped back to the VGA HTC Home plugin but would definitely prefer the cube.
