How-to: Cube Edits/mods/creation

[dang]

Musicman,
Nice work. Am I correct in assuming that this is all carrier independent? Should work with Sprint, Verizon et al?

Hi guys, I've loaded vistacube 2 on my touch and the buttons to "settings" and programs" give me the error message, "file cannot be opened... I've tried to find the registry path to these folders but failed. Can someone tell me how to find the paths for these folders? The default path in vistacube is \windows\htcPrograms.exe and \windows\htcSettings.exe. Thanks in advance!

how would i add a shortcut to lets say www.ebay.com on the cube... do u pick internet explorer then under parameters put in the web address...???

7.3 OPENING A WEB PAGE USING A BUTTON
You can open a webpage from a button by putting "\Windows\iexplore.exe" as the value for Path, and then the website's address
as the value for Param (www.ppcgeeks.com)

The newer ROMs (including the leaked ROM) do not include these two programs.

To get to the Programs list, use "\Windows\folderview.exe"

I have no idea how to get to settings now. Anybody with an original ROM want to upload htcSettings.exe for all of us?

This is out of a dcd kitchen from 1/08. Out of an EnlargeStartMenu OEM. Hopefully this will help!

I only use the dialer on the cube and have changed the registry settings so only that side of the cube shows up. But when closing or opening etc... the other animations for the other two sides are still visible.

Is there a blank animation that I can use for those sides, or a way to make the animations always show the dialer?

(I run xv6900 with OMJ6.1 gps/rev-a rom)

I read the directions carefully, but something is not right. I just want to add an additional cube w/ QuickDial. The directions are for the APLauancher, so maybe I am missing something. Here is what I did:

1. Added "App4" with "QuickDial \Windows\CustQuickDial.exe"
2. Changed Total Cubes from "3" to "4"
3. In Biotouch folder one I added "CustQuickDial" and the 2.5.28927 data

These changes make the cube freeze up when you get to the new cube screen...

What am I missing?

I am suprised more people don't want to have more QuickDial screens. I could fill up a few of them. Any help is appreciated...

Thanks,

I believe its not possible to have more then one QuickDial screens.

There's a program that the Sprint Touch comes with called MakePhoneCall.exe its located in the Windows directory and it takes command line arguments(Params). 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

Path = \Windows\MakePhoneCall.exe
Params = 555-555-5555

After a restart, of course, when you press the app icon you configured this way it will call that number.
