change ur touch cube to what u want

[maggyban]

great post

[tom_m]

anyone have verizon's touch? i noticed they really screwed up on their cube. the graphics are horrible, the gradient isn't smooth at all. almost thought this was an issue w/ the display or cube program until i flashed another rom.

what the heck was verizon thinking? didn't they QA any of that? i couldn't send out a web site at my job with poor image quality on things... wow. way to go!

edit: restored my cube... but still HATE the ugly gradient in verizon's cube...can't seem to change to original blue htc graphics for whatever reason....

I have a Sprint 6900 that was flashed to Metro PCS. The cube still functions for Sprint applications, how can I modify existing cube??????

This is the easiest tool to use to modify the cube:

up to date Touch Settings file attached....also. if you'll look above in the 'sticky' section, there is a file there, called the cube configuration tool.

OK codyppc i went in to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/software/HTC/Biotouch/APLauncher

There you are going to see folders from 0 to 5 each folder is for each for the the cube 6 botton side

folder 0 - is for the SOFTWARE STORE button
folder 1 - is for the INTERNET EXPLORER botton
fordel 2 - is for the COMM MANAGER botton
folder 3 - is for the IM botton ( this botton i changed to Windows\WLMMessenger.lnk) works fine !
folder 4 - is for the SMS botton
folder 5 - is for the MAILBOX botton


i hope this helps you with what you need

Please - be more vague

Thats all that .exe does is remove those hex bits you listed. The issue is those DONT work on the sprint touch and no one has gotten it to work that way. I used both bmp2brn versions and the manual editing and none of the above produce a clear icon. Either they have lines through them or the icon shows up totally black. have you actually tried this on a physical sprint touch and gotten it to work? its possible about 10 of us missed something you didnt, but i cant figure out what a group of us missed that weve been trying over and over for a week now that you found to work in those directions off xda

The vague part: "doesn't work" doesn't give any indication of what the problem is, which simply leaves everyone wondering - with no idea what to do or try next. I spent a lot of time working through this (with guidance from xda) and finally got it to work, posted the steps and the first response I get is: "doesn't work"

Yes, I've tried this on a "physical sprint touch" - with success as stated. Examples are attached.

It would contribute to the effort if you'd explain the steps you went through exactly. For example: Did you use GIMP? Which version? Which hex editor? Post an example and I could look for differences, etc.

By the way - the bmp2brn.exe does more that just remove the bytes. When it's done, the .brn is 240 bytes shorter that it's supposed to be. That's what prompted me to just do it manually. It must also be flipping the image vertically, because that's a required step also...

i saved it as bmp 16 bit advanced settings exactly how you said. i then used Hex Workshop v5, and blocked first the 1E to 46 bits and deleted that block, then went to the 0-12 blocked them and deleted them, since if you do the 0-12 first its slides them all over to fill the now empty first 12 bits (unless thats how youre supposed to and missing in the directions?). then saved as and AL_01.brn and saved it. Was a no go gave a black box on the Touch.

Did you delete BETWEEN 1E-46 (deleting 1F-45), or INCLUDING 1E and 46? maybe thats my issue, i deleted 1E and 46 as well as 0 and 12.

i uploaded a rar of my bmp and brn file if you could compare the hex editing. i know the file naming isnt right and the image isnt flipped yet. jsut wanna check the hexing which has to be where im going wrong

That's more like it

Thanks for uploading the example - I can immediately see the problem. I looked at your .brn, and it's one byte too small (for that size of icon). Mine (and the stock) are 25,212 bytes. Your example is 25,211 bytes. Looking at your sample bmp with the hex editor, it looks like you may have deleted 0x1D - 0x46 (one too many). Here's a screenshot of your .bmp with the correct area highlighted. Notice the preceding "00", which isn't in your .brn:



Only one byte off...
