Okay, I have it installed. Thanks. If you can point me in the right direction to fix my fexplore problem that would be great.
Thanks again.

Open PHM RegEdit

Go to the folder

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>Software>HTC>Biotouch>APLaunche r

Select App4 in that folder

Tap on the value "Path" in the lower window

Change the last three letters of Value Data to lnk (LNK) instead of exe

Soft reset.

Keep me updated! :-)

I installed via ActiveSync and have had no problems with it on my mobile. Now, I don't have the PC version, so that may be something as well.

Yeah I tried that. Still wont run. Can't figure out what I am doing wrong.

I know this is off topic, but I saw many in here having issues with Money, so I thought I'd add that I use this for Money, syncs with my Money 2007 and just works. Has 30 day trial.

Will it run from the Programs menu? Are you just having trouble launching it from the Cube, or the program itself will just not run?

TiffanyMogul 12-11-2007 02:17 AM

Anyone with a mogul enjoy the icube?

Musicman247 12-11-2007 02:27 AM

You might check this thread at xda. Kona_Mtbkr has been hard at work getting the Touch Cube to work on non-Cube devices, and he seems to be close to putting out version 1.1 which uses the Sprint files.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=343583

Musicman247 12-11-2007 04:08 AM

Version 1.10 is now up on post #4 HERE . This includes the previous bug fixes, plus adds the ability to change your icons on the 4th side through registry edits. This also allows the icon "blink animation" on the fourth side. BIG thanks to Kona_Mtbkr for making this possible! No un-install needed before installing this version

LuvDog 12-11-2007 09:48 AM

Not to be too needy, but can someone post up an an Active Sync CF and Active Sync CF HL icon? I'd like to replace one of the ipod icons.

I don't have any graphics abilities or talents.

Thanks

As far as Money not working... I installed it and it would load up and some of the functions worked, but not all of them... such as tapping and holding on a line item to get the edit menu. I ended up un-installing it.

Also.. I'm getting an activesync "error" I get an unresolved item and it says that B2.brn can't be synced because it's either read only or I'm out of memory. I know I'm not out of memory.

phillytouch 12-11-2007 10:33 AM

just installed v1.10 and it's great. some of the links seem to be broken though. namely microsoft excel, word and live search. i haven't had time to play with all the buttons yet, but those are the ones i came across. i haven't done much in the way of mods to my touch thus far, so i can't think of a reason that the issue is specific to my phone...

is there a relatively easy way that i can redirect the links to the appropriate files?

I updated to 1.10 and all 3 of the links mentioned above worked fine for me. Not sure why you are having problems with them. Once the configuration tool is released, the buttons will become configurable. I'm not sure if you can go into the registry and change them, but it is likely. I just don't know how to do it.

Musicman247 12-11-2007 10:57 AM

HKLM>Software>HTC>Biotouch>CustAPLauncher>App0-App11 to change button settings on the 4th side.

HKLM>Software>HTC>Biotouch>APLauncher>App0-App11 to change button settings on the 3rd side.

Icons are found in: \My Documents\iCube\Icons

Animations are found in: \My Documents\iCube\Anim

A couple of people have said they had prblems with those icons.

Firstly, you need to make sure you have the latest version of Live Search for the button to work correctly. Open Live Search through the Program menu and click on "Menu" There should be an option that says something like client update avaiable. Tap on it to start the update process.

Search through this thread to find what someone did to fix the Word and Excel buttons. I think it's around page 4-6.

Edit: found it on page 3 Here's the post http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showpost.p...0&postcount=21

Check post 3 of this thread for new iCube Carbon today theme and blank icon set

abrookerhs 12-11-2007 11:18 AM

Are there instructions for Dummies like me on where to put these files and make the changes for the Carbon themes and such? Sorry!

Musicman247 12-11-2007 11:35 AM

That's a good question. Zyphlin, how exactly do we install the Carbon theme? And shouldn't the background be included?

Zyphlin 12-11-2007 11:42 AM

Heh...you know. :\ I used ThemeGenCe to make it, and put it on the device. That said, I beleive you just put the iCubeCarbon(orig) file into your my documents and it should be all that's needed

EpOxY 12-11-2007 12:06 PM

not trying to be ungrateful... this thing is awesome. just throwing out ideas in case some of them are good...

is there an animation available with no icons/text on it? i think it would look okay if just colored squares swiped back and forth... instead of incorrect icons sometimes.

then the icons/text would just dissapear and reappear... like it was on purpose.

honestly, the only time it bothers me... is the big 3 buttons, because the "iCube" is just too big and noticable.

Is it me, or is the carbon theme not showing up on the size of the cube that has Comms as the top left icon?

kenlewisesq 12-11-2007 12:29 PM

I vote for a generic set of animation icons as well. Also, any chance of creating an animation set that works like the swipe animations included with the Pearl icon set? I think that would work very well with the iCube set.

Sorry for the silly request, but I want to add a GPS icon to the cube and I need some help. I made the icon in bmp format but I'm not quite sure how to make the highlighted version and how to convert to brn. Can someone either do this for me or tell me how to do it myself?

Thanks!

PS: Icon is attached to this message.

Zyphlin 12-11-2007 12:36 PM

Hey! Nice icon. Check the Cube Configuration sticky thread...I think there is a png to brn file converter in there. Drat...thanks, I should switch all those to png in the zip.

You'd just need to save your icon as a png, then use the converter.

As far as the highlighted version...would have to ask Music

You are correct. I used the wrong icons for the bottom of that side. Sorry. I've re-posted the CAB with correct icon paths. Re-install and the Carbon will come back. :-D

Here you go. They're named globe.brn and globe_HL.brn

Put them in the \My Documents\iCube\Icons folder and then change the
IconPath and IconPressPath in the registry for whatever app you want them to be for.

When you say Weather Panel, is that a program or are you talking about the tab in the HTC Home Plugin?

All button paths have to be changed from the registry until the Configure tool comes out.

HKLM>Software>HTC>Biotouch>CustAPLauncher>App0-App11 to change button settings on the 4th side.

HKLM>Software>HTC>Biotouch>APLauncher>App0-App11 to change button settings on the 3rd side.

The value "Path" is the Program path. Look for the exe in File Explorer and write down exactly where it is. Eveything including spaces and Capital letters has to be exact for the Path to be correct.

As far as the SMS button, Create a new String Value in APLauncher>App10 named Param

Set the value of Param to be -service "SMS"

It will then point to the SMS mailbox.

Do you prefer a color for the background?

abrookerhs 12-11-2007 01:22 PM

nah... whatever looks best... so far I like what you have been doing, so Im sure I will be impressed :-)

Actually I was replacing the IM icon... and that is at the bottom with the Carbon. Does that matter?

Ooo, you're tricky. You get me to make a regular Messenger Icon, and then you get me to make one with the Carbon Fiber background! tricky tricky ;-)

Here are both. I liked the brown background best, so that's what I used.

They're named messenger.brn, messenger_HL.brn, messenger_CF.brn, and messenger_CF_HL.brn

Musicman247 12-11-2007 01:42 PM

By the way, Zyphlin, the theme you posted does not work. You need to upload the .tsk and the background file. once that is up people can put it in their \Windows folder and choose it from the Today Settings.

thadeus_d3 12-11-2007 01:46 PM

Musicman, would it be possible for you to create a true iphone calendar icon...like the one posted here? That exact icon would be perfect!

Ah, Thanks Musicman247. I actually figured out how to do it searching around this forum (love this site!). For anyone who cares, I used this simple program to convert from 24 bit BMP to BRN: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&postcount=463 .

Now for another silly question... How do I change the animation to the one that doesn't show the icon I replaced (I believe it was called the "blink" animation). I changed one of the iPod icons to iGuidance (the GPS program I use) and I can still see the iPod icon in the transition animation.

Thank you so much for all your help.

PS: The icons I made are attached below.

The transition animations are not dynamic, they are static images, meaning that they will always show the same thing. A generic animation will be coming soon (all the icons will be grey or something).
