How-to: Cube Edits/mods/creation

[etski]

This is an awesome writeup and much more info then I need but Musicman definitely understands the cube so here's my question. My cube contacts all disappeared from the cube, I have no idea why. I had a new phone from sprint, upgraded rom then restored using spb backup. Everything was great, had all my contacts on the cube, but in less then a day, they all disappeared. Any ideas? Anything specific I could restore from my backup that would bring them back? Help! Please!

Can anyone tell me the file path of my email inbox? When I press the mailbox icon it takes me to where I select what account to use (text messages, email, or create a new account) and I would much rather have it take me straight to my email inbox.

Thanks. I probably could have checked the Param of the sms button and figured it out too. Oh well. Thanks again.

I just got my Sprint touch a few days ago and am busy modifying it. I have done the 6.1 update and still have the Vista Cube 2.0 working with a quick fix from Spunks3 (see link)

http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showpost.p...&postcount=137

However, I would still like to create a few more functions to access from my cube, but can't figure out the correct path/parameters. I would like to be able to use my phone as much as possible directly from my cube screens and want to add these functions.

Can anyone help?

Contacts: have tried addrbook, contacts, contact...to no avail


Settings: no luck at all, I've read that it used to work in Windows 6.0 but not in 6.1


Phone: Solved!!! <10/25/08>

With this program you can configure any APLauncher icon to execute this program to dial any number you want. Example:

Change these values for the particular App icon location you pick:

Parameter = null
Path = \Windows\MakePhoneCall.exe


Shortcuts from the cube to: Home Screen,Weather screen,Sound Screen

Add yours to the list and lets put them in one easy place!

Also, and this is a biggie!! I have been using CeRegEditor to modify all the registries. If I wanted to make a back up copy for myself in case I ever have to do a hard reset or if I want to add my cube to another phone...how the heck do I do it??? Can I create a cab file from my setup??? Help me PLEASE!!! I want my iPhone buddies to cringe when they see my smartphone working as well as their media phones!!

Is there a cube with 2 quick dial sides so you can have more easy to reach contacts?

You can do what chriscdev did but instead of "null" change it to a phone number.

I know I have already asked this question but now I'm asking it a little different. I have a registry editing program on my touch and want to know if there is anyway to make a fourth side to the cube with another quickdial? I'm also wondering if there is anyway to do this with the cube that comes with the phone, not form a modified cube app? If so, how should I go about doing it? Thanks for a any help given.

Second QuickDial sides are not possible with the HTC Cube.

I can't find that program, using resco explorer i entered *htcsettings* and got no hits. searching *.exe i did find htcMenuSetting.exe but it doesn't seem to do anything.

Any other possible names?

Where would I find active sync?

Would it be possible to set my backlight from the cube the way that I can fro the quick launch on the today screen?(tap the button to cycle through different brightnesses)
