Getting rid of the cube

[RickRed40]

Appreciate all the responses. The cube has grown on me. Yet MusicMan and others have done so much more with it than HTC it's a shame. I mean had they used imagination and allowed each side of the cube to be customized, is suspect this phone would sell tens of thousands of more units. The cube that is offered is unimaginative. Does anyone know if HTC has any plans to change the cube.

The Instinct by Samsug coming out in June looks much more user friendly than the Cube.

if you dont want to buy any software and you want to turn your cube into an iphone style launcher, try icube

however if you're like me and spb mobile shell is *essential* software on your phone as well, here's how to disable touchcube:

1. back up \Windows\Biotouch.exe
2. make a copy of MobileShell.exe from the spb installation folder and rename it to Biotouch.exe
3. copy your new executable to \Windows to replace the cube
4. soft reset

This is guaranteed to work in resco; I cant vouch for any other file manager. You could probably use any dummy executable too.



Q. Why would I want to disable Touchcube if I run SPB Mobile Shell?

A. Because SPB Mobile Shell makes the Touchcube look like a complete joke. It does everything Touchcube can do plus much much more. And since sliding your thumb down the screen from the Start button pops up Mobile Shell, there's no reason to keep Touchcube running in the background.
