Quick question....

I currently have a stock Sprint Touch running the Polen Vista Cube. All is working well and for someone who does not "program" or want to mess with registries and files, does the "I-Phone/Cube" version 1.11 install as a cab file and load all necessary files, icons and the like with no extra work on my part?

Was not 100% sure which icons loaded with it, or do I have to load the I-Cube and then load which icons I want?

I also alike the "clean look" of the carbon fiber and/or black look of the today screen (clean and easy to read). I currently use the stock today screen that came with my Sprint Touch, but how can I just make it all black with white letters?

Sorry for being such a noob... and please remember I have a Sprint Touch phone so there is no confusion (or my confusion that is)!!!

Thanks for the exciting work many of you guys are doing in this thread an forum. :headbang:

Thanks,

what SMS progam are you using....snow is pretty kool...how did you get that? NICE

this might be a stoopid question but what is the registry path to the quick dialer, favorite contacts, side of the cube. You know the side with all my contacts pictures. At the bottom there are 4 buttons and the third one is the contact list. Im tryin to get the contact list button to go to vito funcontact and now it just goes to the standard stock contact list.

this might be a dumb question but i am new at this smartphone such (but i love it) do the cube feature work with the mogul 6800 and if so what do i download and how do i set it up .what i look through it seems like this question is long and probably has been posted but i cant get it to work someone please help

Does Config Tool Work with ICube?
 

I have Polen's 6-Sided Cube and would like to try the ICube, so I have two questions:

1) Do I need to unistall the 6-sided cube, and if so, how?

2) Does the Config Tool work with the ICube?

Anyone?
 

Bump - Does the Config Tool work with the ICube?

Yes I believe you have to uninstall past Cube modifications first

No, there is not a cube config yet but Guy is working on getting one soon

Yes, you can run it on a Mogul but you have to download some other programs. Search through this thread and you'll find information about it.

Uninstall by going to settings, system, remove programs.

Custom Icons for iCube
 

Merry Christmas Everyone,

I have finally completed customizing my cube based on the iCube and I thought I would share it with everyone. The attached zip file has all of the icons and several scripts written in MortScript which change the registry to point to the copied icons. The icons used are not mine but have been gathered from all over the internet and this site. Hopefully no one objects to this non-commercial use.

Instructions:

1) Unzip the files ensuring that you retain the folder structure and that everything resides inside of a folder called eyeCube
2) Copy the eyeCube folder and its contents to your local My Documents folder on your Touch
3) Make sure iCube is installed (tested with version 1.11)
4) Ensure MortScript is installed (tested with version 4.1) and run the scripts you want to customize different faces of your cube (there are scripts for each Application face, the Media face, the Dialer face, and the Animations)
5) Reset your Touch (you may run the Reset script to reset as well)

WARNING: Backup your original icons; to return your cube to normal you may have to either hand edit the registry or do a hard reset. I have tested the install process many times and have never had a problem but your experience may vary. You can open the MortScript files in any text editor and read through what each is doing before running to ensure that you understand what is going to happen. I have included the BMP files so that you may customize your cube the way you want.

Applications You Will Need:
1) iCube and Mortscript
2) uBook (www.gowerpoint.com)
3) Google Maps
4) eWallet
5) TCPMP
6) Weather Watcher

Enjoy!

Nice!
 

Very nice modifications! I would like to mix and match icons to run my chosen programs. Is this possible with the your mods and the ICube? I often see "You will need these programs..." and I often don't want them - I just want to run my own.

One of my deals is I want to have PIE Favs on one wall - I will use the same icon for all if I can change text for each - possible? Am I correct that it is just a matter of changing the .brn and pointing to a different path in the registry?

Thanks!

BB

You can change the scripts to point to the icons and applications you want or you can manually edit the registry. You might have to create a new icon or two as the ones I included cover only the apps which I use - there is a blank grey background for starting your own graphics.

I think you can link to Internet Explorer shortcuts though I have never tried it - MusicMan would know for sure.

The only application you will need is MortScript so the scripts will run otherwise you will need to make the edits to the registry by hand. In any event, reading the script files will show you the locations in the registry that need to be changed.

That is your phone on the youtube vid? If so, where did you get that Sin City theme...I friggin love it. Also, the sin city dialer rocked too..would love to have em.

Support for 6700 and Ftouchflo
 

Evening all,

Does the iCube still only support the Touch? I am very keen to try this on a 6700 with Ftouchflo.

Thanks,
Steve

yessir that is mine i have them at my site..... look in my profile to find the link dont wanna start spamming the board.

PIE shortcuts work great. Just point the button Path to \Windows\iexplore.exe (or .lnk) and set the value Param to whatever website you want (ie. www.ppcgeeks.com).

Is there a theme available for this that's non-chalkboard style? I feel that it looks grainy and low res instead of sharp and crisp.

Not at this time, but I agree. I'll be working on a higher-res version soon. Give me time, though. :-)

Check out the new configuration tool to customize the iCube:

Woo hoo! Thanks thisguyinoc!

kenlewsiesq - Got the Icons?
 

kenlewisesq - Can you share your .brn icons with us? They are great!

I love the eyecube but between the eyecube folder & the icube cab, it about 25mb's.....Is there a way the overall size could be reduced or something because I'm now down to 21mb's free on my device memory?

You don't need the cab, but you can store it on the storage card.

Everything should be in the second zip file. Did you try to install the icons?

You can remove the BMP files for the icons and the animations - that will save you some space. Also, you do not need the BRN files for both the iCube and eyeCube installed. Once you have installed the iCube and have pointed the icons and animations to the eyeCube you do not need the iCube icons any longer.

Would this work on the Mogul

Oh...
 

I was doing it one step at a time. First I installed the ICube, then the new Config Tool. Then I was going to see whether I wanted your eyecube. I was a bit nervous about doing all your instructions and using Mortscript, so I thought I would try just your icons first. I will look in the zip file - thanks!

I am new to Windows Mobile, but was trying to copy some .brn files to my touch and overwriting the old one, but I get an Access Denied error. I tried via ActiveSync and on File Explorer on the device. Is this because the file is in use?

I am trying to change the icons on the bottom of the Quick Picture Dial part of the cube. ( At least that is what I am hoping to do ). I have the cube installed and working and the configuration tool.

You need a different File Explorer like Resco Explorer or Total Commander to overwrite, the included one is very limited in what it can do.

Anybody live near greenville sc that I can have install these programs for me?

Hi guys. Thank you for great skin, runs very smooth on my Touch. I customized all sides with the customization tool, got every thing working except the icons on the 4th side (the one that was not replaceable in the first version). Post #4 mentions that icons on this side can be changed too. I'm sure, I saw new icons after the first soft reset, after making all my changes. Later, after another soft reset, icons are back to the original stock icons. Icons have the new text labels and they are linked to the correct applications (the ones that I setup), but the new icons are not shown. I double checked the configuration, also checked registry, they all show the correct icons, but this side shows the original version only.

Am I doing something wrong?

Also, I thought at some point blank animation was added. During the animation, to the side 1, I still see the original icons, before my new ones come on top of them. May be I was wrong.

Thanks in advance,
David

Very nice set of icons. Thank You! Thank You very much.

I have one question...
Everything installed as expected and all four sides were skinned and I followed the suggestion of removing the iCube folder to regain some memory. All still ok until I remapped one of the icons on side #2 (with Cube Config Tool 4.1). Now all of side 2 shows only the grey set of icons. Ive checked the registry and they all point to the correct icons. Any ideas?

I have remapped icons on side one without this problem.

Blank Icons
 

When I convert the blank icons to .brn files they are big and the text is inside the icon. Did I do something wrong?

BB

As to icons not changing, make sure you have a valid Background value in the HKLM>Software>HTC>Biotouch>CustAPLauncher folder.

Blank animations have not been released yet. I've been busy over the holidays with work and also trying to restore my wife's laptop files (her HDD broke). I'll be getting back to stuff soon.

On a side note I was able to get her files by hooking the HDD up to her new iMac through a Harddrive enclosure. Wouldn't work on a PC.

Blank Icons
 

Arent they in the first post?

The blank icons (not animations, which I commented on) are in the first post, but they are a different size than the original icons. Tha blank icons have a button size of 65x76 where as the original icons have a button size of 57x57, so the blank buttons are considerably bigger, taking up almost the entire 80x80 square.

For now I guess just re-size the blank buttons and put them on an 80x80 black square.

Thanks a lot for all the work, Musicman :-) You're right, I had one wrong address in that folder. Original one was looking in "My Documents\iCube", I had moved everything to "Program Files\iCube" and one address was not changed.

Blank animations will be good when ready. iCube is very nice even without them.

Happy New Year!
David

That's my fault due to not really understanding how the icons were sized originally. I knew they were 80x80 total size, so I blew them up to that size. Realized later, that was wrong but didn't know the exact numbers. Things are very hectic for me at the start of this new year so if anyone would like to resize them to the correct sizes and post it I'll be happy to give credit. If not, once things calm down for me a bit, I'll try and get them sized correctly.

I resized a couple at 68x68 and put on 80x80 background and they worked great!

Good morning...

I happened upon this via a link @ the xda-developers site. I currently own a Tilt and have the touchflo cube installed on the OEM Rom. Does anyone know if this application would be compatible on my device?

I'm impressed by the "icube" and the effort from those involved. Great job.

Thanks,

Geo.

I own an XDA nova (HTC touch from provider o2 256MB ROM / 128 MB RAM with german WM6).I installed the FIles4GSM.ZIP and iCubeV1_11.zip and it works out of the box.

Many links are Sprint specific, so you have to reconfigure it via the registry as described in several post in this thread. now it works perfect for me.:)

What I not could get working is the Cube Configuration Tool http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread...t=directory%2A . It always crashes at start with an DirectoryNotFoundException, i assume there are some language dependend problems.
