Please Uninstall Any Other Cube Customizations You May Have On Your Device Before Installing MacFlo!
Now For Sprint Mogul Thanks To bigknoxy!

Looks good!

Looks good man, I'll try it out as well!

when i swiped accross the screen the htc cube came up and it did not swipe the macflo slabs. any ideas?

Why...when I plug my PPC to my pc it allows me to browse contents of my phone but does not show the windows folder. I can't copy/paste into the /windows folder from my phone either.

wow... when i saw the title of the thread, i thought this was going to be a McDonald's theme'd device... really.

@ ggaeta - Make sure you follow the directions exactly.

@ X3FBrian - In the Explorer Window Click the "Folders" button at the top. In the left window scroll down to the Orange PPC icon. Click on it. Double click on the Orange PPC icon that appears in the right window. now you should be able to see the Windows folder.

Looks great. Love the new name.

A few questions:


1) Im using slithers Flash Cube, does this mean I can't use that anymore?
2) Do I have to remove TouchFlo?
3) Are the icons customizeable or are we stuck with whatever you chose to set it up with?
4) Any know issues with plugins like SPB's new Pocket Plus?

Thanks for this, works great!

If anyone knows how to make the buttons of the slides work for a mugol/titan please let me know. Thanks.

1. I'm not familiar with slithers Cube so I wouldn't be the best person to answer this. MusicMan might know. Its possible that MacFlo might work on top of that but I haven't tested this
2. No, i believe this is based of off Touch Flo and would not work w/o TouchFlo.
3. Pretty sure they can be edited if you go into the registry
4. None that I know of at this time.

I'm not sure that i understand what you are asking, but make sure you put all of those files into your Windows directory on your Mogul. if you do that and then do a soft reset everything should work fine.

is this compatible on wm6 on the 6700

Should be. Try it out!

Nice. Very nice...

Good job Musicman247 & bigknoxy!

Rep has been distributed... Keep it up!

OMGZ! Beautiful! BEEEAAUUUUUUTTIFULL! nice animations and transitions!

So, have you tried it? Is it compatible?

Thanks man...
I just had to tell you that theme is sweet!

Yo Music...... I put your macflo on SPRINTUSERS.com It is starting to get some hits. There are a couple of feedbacks so far....... LINK> http://www.sprintusers.com/forum/sho...d.php?t=155528

Thanks! I forgot that I had registered there a long time ago...back when I had a Treo 650 it seems. :-)

holy wow... i have htc home customizer, s2u2, and this - only 3 megs of memory on reset WOAH!



removed htc home - 5 mb on soft reset. cool, but i need SOME memory...

i would hard reset, but it was a PITA to get voice command to work with bluetooth

it worked, but it trips out back n forth with the htc cube and the mac cube. It looks nice tho, props.

Yeah, it's about 8MB in size. I don't know how much of a RAM hog it is. Hmm.

@ kmeleon - did you follow bigknoxy's instructions?

Beautiful app. One thing I noticed is there seems to be some conflict if you have S2U2 installed.

edit: it looks like something great for 128 mb ram (Touch) users, but probably not for those who have 64MB ram phones (mogul)

yah i followed em, n like I said it worked, but it mixed both cubes together. I would swipe it up and first the cube appears then switches to the mac. same as when I swipe it side to side. PLUS it lags because of all of the extra memory it sux up.

that's weird. sorry.

its all good, thanx for the help anyway. preciate it

Awesome app man, but t is a HUGE ram hog.

I have mogul and would not recommend this to mogul users.

Touch users, however, I would highly recommend.

Mogul too if we could get ram upgrades :)

Installed onto my HTC Titan and works fine EXCEPT (Of course there had to be an EXCEPT) on the 3rd slab (QuickDial Screen) when you go into the third icon in the bottom (Contacts) then you try to touch from bottom to top to go back to the MacFlo screen it doesn't work. I have to go to the Today Screen (Default on Titan by pressing my Windows key) then once im in the today screen then I can do the slide from bottom to top to go back into the MacFlo. Also can we mogul users somehow go to the screen where you see right before the MacFlo shows. I am talking about the Screen with the time, voicemail icon, text message icon etc??

Great work guys... If it wasn't for people like we wouldn't have people like me.. hahaha

* Error given... 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

So that is how my testing went. I made sure that when I tested this I did a Hard Reset and returned my Mogul/Titan to manufacture setting (Just to make sure no other apps would conflict).

Hope there is hope and fixes for these bugs..

I have to second this post, I'm seeing basically the same results, minus the additional apps because I can't get the ExtraCABS.zip to download, keeps saying it's a corrupt archive. Anyway, for the most part it works. One thing I notice is when I do the down to up swipe to launch the MacFlo, I see the HTC Home slide up the screen then it transitions to the MacFlo interface. I don't have HTC Home installed, and just have the basic today screen displayed at this point. What is this? Will it be resolved by installing the HTC Home? Thanks.

how do we reconfigure the buttons/icons on the slabs?

A lot of these errors are due to the buttons pointing to programs that are standard on the Touch. The Settings buttons points to \Windows\htcSettings.exe; the photo album button points to \Windows\HTCAlbum.exe; OZ button points to \Program Files\Instant Messaging\im.exe, etc. a quick search of PPCGeeks should turn up CABS to install these programs. Then check below for instructions on how to change button links.

The HTC home that you see is just part of the animation. Touch users have the Home installed already, so it looks like our Today screen is opening up to reveal this vast open space behind it. I am currently working on new "up/down" animations that are more generic. Try clearing your browsers cache and then re-downloading the ExtraCABs. If that still doesn't work, download the zip from the Touch forum.

You can use A Registry Editor for now. I use PHM RegEdit

It's not that hard if you know what you're looking for. If you get lost, though, it can be intimidating.

The Paths can be found in

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>Software>HTC>Biotouch>APLaunche r, CustAPLauncher, CustAPLauncher2, and CustAPLauncher3

Each of those folders have App0-App7

Each App folder has a parameter called "Path" where the location of the executable is.

For instance, the GoogleMaps button can be found at

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>Software>HTC>Biotouch>CustAPLau ncher>App1

Find where your exe files are located on your phone, then type that location as the Path.

Buttons are lined up as so:

0 2 4 6
1 3 5 7

Thank you guys for your feedback. I will try to address as many of these issues as I can. I just ask that you be patient with me. This is just my hobby. :-)

All files extracted ok except extras.zip, says files are corrupted and won't extract.

All I need is the opera and ce_paint I already have the rest can someone post please? TYIA

EDIT: Up and Running! Other than the above corrupted zip, THIS IS EASILY THE BEST-WORKING CUBE IMPLEMENTATION I have ever used, smooth, great graphics/animations, bug free, and fairly easy to configure... will be on my device for a long time!

Four new intros are available on post #1 on the Vogue Thread

Uninstall MacFlo and re-install the version you would prefer.

I don't see the 4 new intos on post one? I'm pretty sure I'm in the vogue thread. :)

edit: whoops. MM just has his link wrong. Use the link on his sig...

Pretty cool app! I would use it if I had a device with more RAM. It was too slow on mine for obvious reasons.
