Re: How-to: Cube Edits/mods/creation

Couple questions...

1) I cannot find out how to update the .brn files, they are read-only. Is there any possible way to just update those files w/o redirecting the regristy to a new file?

2) Has anyone modified the Quick Dial Screen. I understand what images to work with but, because of the above question I am unable to edit them. Also I tried looking the registry for where the QD_Bkgd.brn file is refrenced and could not find it. I couldn't even find any configs for the Quick Dial at all.

Any help is always much appreciated.

1) Updating the BRN files can be done using File Explorer or Total Commander. Name the new BRN files something other than what you want (ie. A0_1.brn) then place them in the \Windows folder of your phone. Rename the original file to something else, then rename the new file what the old file used to be called. Or you can use the CAB creator to create a CAB file that overwrites your old files.

2)Same thing. Quickdial stuff is not really referenced anywhere, it was just all figured out through trial and error.

Hope this helps.

Re: How-to: Cube Edits/mods/creation

I understand how to replace the needed files, however, apparently the .brn files in my Windowas diretory are read-only. This prevents me from being able to move/delete/rename the files. Is here any way around this? How can I change the permssions on these files?

Thanks for the help! This has been a show stopper for me for quite some time.

Since the BRN files are located in ROM they really can't be changed, at least I haven't been able to change them from Read Only. If you need a CAB made, let me know. Other than that I don't know what you could do. Sorry.

Re: How-to: Cube Edits/mods/creation

The reason you can't do anything with the files is because your cube has the files open. Download and install task manager - http://www.freewareppc.com/utilities/taskmanager.shtml. Then you can kill the following tasks:

Biotouch.exe
APLauncher.exe
APLauncher2.exe (you may not have this one)
QuickDial.exe
MediaHubMini.exe

You'll then be able to change those files.

Re: How-to: Cube Edits/mods/creation

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!!

Re: How-to: Cube Edits/mods/creation

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.

Re: How-to: Cube Edits/mods/creation

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.
