Done! also added somescreen shots of the 4 side of the cube
they look much better in animation though

looks nice.... after i saw your cube, i had this idea: an UI like a Rubik cube as a menu where you could scroll every column and every row so u will have a real custom menu

that's what i had in mind but that needs siome development to state which part of the screen you're scrolling at
i'd be able to create the visuals if a developer hops in

Support VGA &WM5.0 ?

Can not find the executive file - I have only a _setup.lnk that run my Opera and that all. Could you please give some instructions

Doesnt seem to work on WM5. Still,20MB required to install seems a bit steep....

Installed on my Artemis but still only showing 3 sides and the app launcher stayed the same (black) Thanks anyway. Ad

added a registry file tweak to overcome this and other problems

I installed and for some reason after a while it shuts down my bluetooth on my Touch, and my Jawbone disconnected.

Hmm...I-cube clone?
Ahmad,
Visually this is virtually identical to Musicman's 4 sided I-cube. Is yours a clone with a few cosmetic alterations or something else?

Sprint Touch Cube Configuration Tool 4.1

Ok, I think this one is gonna need a sticky. I got sick of having to type in all of the shortcuts in the registry editor to change the cube, so I wrote this little spiffy app. It allows you to customize the 2 sides of the cube with shortcuts. Just make sure you know what you are doing as far as what can go where. Enjoy!
Version 1.1 - I got tired of waiting for the file browser to refresh everytime. Now you only have to wait for the first time, after that it is cached.
Version 1.2 - Added IconPress to the 6-App Side, and IconPlaying, IconPlayingPress, and IconPress to the 3-App side.
Version 2.0 - Added param for 6-App Side and 3-App Side. Added links to animation files. Added GUI for app selection for 3-App side and 6-App side.
Version 2.1 - Squashed the bugs that were coming up. Sorry I didn't test it enough before releasing.
Version 3.0 - Now supports multiple 6-App sides (See Polen's Vista Cube)!! Added reset to defaults. Automatic shortcut selector or browse for apps. Fixed the bug where the Program Files directory wasn't showing up in the Browse tree.
Version 4.0 - Added support for the iCube , animation configuring for newly added sides, export settings to .reg file, and icon image preview*.
*The icon image preview must be set up correctly to work. It all depends on the naming convention used. Polen's icon packs work with the preview. Since the .brn files cannot be rendered, a .bmp file must be placed in the directory with the .brn having the same filename or following Polen's naming convention (ex. ie.bmp -> ie_top.brn, ie_top_press.brn).
I tried testing it with the stock cube, Polen's 6 sided cube, and the iCube, but may not have caught everything, so if you find a bug, let me know!
SORRY!!! I left out a file from the .cab, it's all fixed now! Enjoy!
Version 4.1 - Fixed a bug in the export settings and the Save button was getting disabled.

Thanks for the App, works great.
difference between this and touch settings???
ok one question
when i make Icons. I save them as a BMP 24 bit, then i can just BMP to BRN and it will work?
also you just install CAB and go. Do you have to stop any processes before going. I guess i wont wait for Touch settings. This looks like it will work great???
just need to know if i need different icon sizes for the 3X2 and Media Hub????

Without wanting to detract from what you have done, you may also want to look at 'Touch Settings' which has this functionality already. (now works on the Vogue) See:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=324556 (main thread)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=347892 (vogue support thread)
in your post though it said that you cant do Iocns yet on the sprint touch this one i believe if you just set the filepath you can!
also carlos kind of in response to my other thread in the vogue forum.
I was at my friends house playing w/ his sprint touch, downloaded some icons from my website, and put them on w/ this prog. I just saved files to the windows folder with BRN extension and it worked? Idk if it will w/ touch settings, but this one works for that purpose....
still not sure though if you need different size icons for mediahub..???
also still my question..... do you have to stop running the mediahub.exe or w/e the file is called before installilng this puppy?

As of yesterday's build Touch Settings can display / change Sprint (BRN) Icons. Simply tap the pictures to change.
great! ive heard so many great things about the touch settings program.. That i want to continue using it.
My question is are the pics still fuzzy when you use BMP to BRN. OR are they clear like sprint pre installed logo's.
my final question, and i know its been asked, can i use the 119 by the other dimension for both the 3X2 and Media Hub Screen?? What dimensions do i need? on the pics?
also i heard about Media hub not closing? is this true or is it fixed?
Would this work for the Bell Mobility version of the HTC Touch? (Canadian carrier, with a version of the Sprint vogue)
what i dont understand is th animation tab. I know how to make my own icons and stuff, my question is... like what is the animations brn?? What do i have to make for those. Do i need to change it?? I have all custom icons, does animations matter?

those are the images that are shown when changing from side to side. You don't have to change them, but you now have the option.
i c. So like if i make icon images... when i go to animations tab, i just say for image 1, run the path to my icon. Then i will be fine?? and it will turn w/ icon of choice... But there are only 6 icons???

What I'd really like to see is the ability to add QDail sides to the cube like you can with the Aplauncher. Has anyone got that working? I have more than 9 frequently called contacts and would love to have at least 2 sides of contacts - one for personal and one for business would be perfect.
But now that I've typed all this...I just realized that you didn't write the 6-sided cube app, right? I just integrates with yours....
I've been using the Touch Settings program from Carlos -- I'm anxious to see how this one works, too. Thanks to both of you for your hard work!

I played with your program yesterday (okay, let me be honest...I spent 20 hours in the past 24 hours making new cube graphics and drinking coffee until it was bleeding out my ears) and it's wonderful. In combination with the 6 sided cube it's a really great ap.
This may be from a total lack of sleep and the really nice caffiene buzz I've got going, but I'm a bit confused regarding the rotation anims and how to set them via the anim tab.
Is there a way to specify different transition graphics sets between sides 1&2, 2&3, and 3&4? It seems like the default is set to use C0-C5 for all rotations of the Launcher. Am I missing something? I was that the VistaCube program installed D0-D5 so manually created my own and added them to the Windows directory. My D series seems to be applied to those transitions eventhough the animations page shows C0-C5.
Is there a way to get to a drop down menu specifically for the extra sides or is this something that must be done manually? And in either case...how would I set it up to have separate anims for each of the different sides?
The main reason I ask is because I'm planning to use rather generic icons on my launcher pages so that I can swap out programs whenever I want without having to update the graphics on the cube. For example...I have an MP3 player icon that says "Music" on one page. I can assign that to Mort, or WMP, or anything else I want and not worry about the icon. That allows me to put the icons into the rotation graphics so it's a smooth transition and I don't see the "flash" when the app icons load on top of an otherwise different background.
Whew...long-ass question for something so simple. Any help would be appreciated!

Did you ever figure out a way to add another contact side to the cube?
I just installed the CubeConfig3.0.CAB
In the usual screen that says successfully installed and if you need more room... It is followed by a message I have not seen yet:
The program you have installed may not display properly because it was designed for a previous version of Windows Mobile software.
FYI
EDIT: I'm running the unmodified WM6 on a Bell CDMA Touch (Vogue - 128MB RAM/256 MB ROM)
Hmm I never got that one.... I'm running the exact same phone as you, MM.

What's Theme is Best for the Samsung I760

I'm tryng to find the best setup for my phone I like the iphone theme but I want something more stable. Any Ideas

Thanks I will give them both a try.

try the point UI. combined with pocket cm. it will change the "feel for your phone". As for the cube its more of a novelty and its fun to show friends what the phone can do, but i couldnt get all the functions/buttons working with any of the versions.

Ok I got SCLPF 1-62 Uno working my only question is how do I make the touch more sensitive I can scroll perfect with my stylus but not that good with my finger. And Is there a way to add programs like icontact or HTC Album in HTC CUBE icons.
Installed HTC.Home.v2.1.1005.722 on the i760
I have it check in my today screen list, but it doesn't appear. Any ideas?
its a .dll you need to drop into your windows dir.
Search for HTC HOME + .dll
where is this home dll?
I download / installed JUVS HTC Home.v2_1_1005722_s0
description said it should have a dll, which it doesn't
Other Options...
May not be exactly what you are looking for, but this is what I use:
Ultimate Launcher
Battery Status
Weather Panel
HTC Dialer
PocketCM
Then I create custom today, HTC Dialer, and PocketCM themes to make the look and feel the same for all screens. Take a peek and some of the screen shots in the pshades link in my sig. It isn't iPhone, it isn't Cube, but it is finger friendly, clean, and consistent.
Got it working.
How do you change from C to F for the temp though?
Battery status, that a plugin for HTC?
i760 customization

Without a doubt, try Wisbar Advanced Desktop latest beta. It is fantastic. It allows complete customization of the today screen to make it look exactly like the iphone if you desire. It is also very fast, it allows virtual pages, custom notifiers, etc. I have an iphone-like theme that has for instance a link to a picture speed dial page, weather virtual page, etc.
I'm currently using UltimateLaunch (don't know how many times I've suggested it since the purchase), it's amazing a very easy to customize, check out the sticky post. Or you could use poorlyduck's Vista Suite.
i have a question, i downloaded ul and i am trying to figure of just how you get all the info on different screens so i can use my finger to change screens.
thanks

The Better Cube

"Don`t" Forget the HTC Cube, but I made this with "UltimateLaunch". It rotates smooth every kind of screen, icon or pluginin in a cube.
Looks nice. Can we try it? Any demo?
Can you put photo speed dials like htc cube?
junior member. 9 posts. be careful where you tread when saying "forget..." when talking about a much respected project.
Looks amazing, can it have multiple plugins per cube, and if so when/where can we get it.
Ultimate Iphone Cube
I made it with the new "ultimatetaunch" from germany, this is the first launcher with touchflow.
youtube video: http://de.youtube.com/watch?v=L5olemDlIRI&feature=related
discussion: http://www.ppc-welt.info/community/showthread.php?t=121695
it can do speedial, an you can add multiple plugins in each tab(Sides of the cube). The cube can have hundreds of sides. It IS the ULTIMATE Launch.
I made this special iphone-version for everyone and you can upload all icons and more here: http://www.ppc-welt.info/community/showpost.php?p=1029815&postcount=459
There ist a full working demo-version of ultimatelaunch and you can buy it for 10 Euro:http://pocketland.de/39534/UltimateLaunch.html?SID=d1c64539375a8f367ebbea8474956206
UltimateLaunch is an app that can be downloaded. You may register but may also trial it for free, with no time limit nor feature limit. Merely a "not registered" writing here and there.
It's extremely configuration and you can have multiple plugins per cube as well as variable numbers of sides for the cube.
It is pretty fast and smooth no doubt, and is very close to replacing HTC Cube.
How do you do photo speed dial?

Ok I see, this is the UltimateLauncher program, sorry I misunderstood. Do you or anyone else have any idea if it is possible to have more than one Plugin per cube, right now I have SPB Weather but it only takes up a small portion and I would like to add more smaller plugins to fill that cube instead of making more cubes for small plugins (1-2 lines)???

Yes, you can use the combine function to add more than one plugin per cube.
This is indeed a great plugin. It made me disable my cube, task bar and softkey bar.
Herehttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1914197&postcount=42 is a detailed description of my today screen.
Photo Dialer is not problem at all. A few layers and gradients in gimp and you can have a few faces on glassy buttons as a speed dialer.
Cheers,
nc.
The Ultimate Launch is a blessing for the screensize-impared treos. Ahh... finially the scrollbar is gone. Instead of just having it scroll down, I just made the bottom half of the screen the ultimatelaunch and rotate it out. Looks a-m-a-z-i-n-g
Wow nc that's some beautiful interface.
Thanks for sharing!
Still very interested in how to make the photo dialer though, since I'm currently using SPB pocket plus for it, and that's ugly...

Photo dialling is a little tricky but there are a few ways to achieve it.
You need to change the format of your photos to .ico with a good photoshop tool - GIMP is a good freeware tool to achieve this (make sure you reduce the size of the photo to icon size say 60x60).
Then you need to link a program to do the ringing. Again there are a few options around:
1) cprog.exe -url tel: 12345678910 (this takes you to an editably box where you can change the number before dialling)
2) vijay555's dialler (which will automatically dial the conacts number)
3) gotocontact (which will take you to the default contacts page and give you options to ring mobile/home/business or send a text message).
It is a little tricky, but luckily I don't change my friends too often!
I have to agree that this is great software. I have stopped using cube launchers - as this is always running, is totally customisable and low on memory.
Thanks Lynehammike for the clarifications!
I don't change my friends often either so I'll give your options a go.
Thanks so much since I've been trying for quite awhile to figure out how to do this!
Btw, what's "gotocontact"?
Bloody hell, thanks mate! I kept wondering what the combine was for and found it strange that I could not add more than one plugin.

[SKN] VGA Skins for Standard WM Dialer (Black/Transparent/Sunset + MORE!)

Description updated 08 Nov 2008
I stopped using the HTC Diamond dialer after I found out that it uses 10MB of memory (8MB on some improved ROMs like SwiftBL) at all times and is partly responsible for the device's laggy dialer performance.
The default WM dialer is an ugly grey but after finding this thread about QVGA skins I decided to make my own black skin. I'd like to thank the starter of that thread, Raceit, for helping me to get started with the image files and trying to fix them for me. Cheers dude!
I don't know how to make CABs yet so here's a zip. (EDIT: CAB available in post #3.) The orange colouring in the screenshots was part of my theme, not part of the skin.
To install, first disable the HTC dialer, see post #2 for more details.
If you would like to install the black 3D skin pictured below, the easiest method is to install the CAB provided by mic_888 in post #3. If you plan to use another skin that doesn't have a CAB then I advise installing the CAB anyway, then copying the images files from the ZIP archive into the Windows folder. There are 2 advantages of installing a CAB - firstly so that the image files are unprotected and easier to overwrite and secondly to make uninstallation easier. Just uninstall the CAB to remove whatever skin you are using and revert to standard the standard WM grey skin.
Hint: The Matrix, Flat Black and Sunset skins in this thread feature transparent buttons with different edge colours, feel free to use them with your own backgrounds. It's just a case of replacing the two png images with your own choice of portrait/landscape images
EDIT: Matrix and Flat Black skins added, see post #24 - CAB now added!
EDIT: Sunset skin added, see post #29 - CAB now added!
EDIT: Grey/White skin added, see post #71 - CAB now added!
EDIT: Dark TouchFlo skin by nhvoltagenh, see post #74-#75
Please also check out the skins by holdemdogg, starting at post #49!
Edit: More Skins, good ones too...
Ryon Skin
Noonski Diamondish Skin

Information about using the standard WM dialer
The main drawback of the standard WM dialer is that you cannot use it for video calling. Not an issue for me personally.
The advantages are that it saves almost 10MB of memory, even on ROMs with an optimized dialer, and gets rid of that slight lag when making or answering a call when you're not sure if it's actually going to do anything. A further benefit is that the answer and reject keys are much more difficult to press accidentally, removing the need for an additional locking program (Answerkeys Disabler, TouchLockPro, S2U2, etc.)
The HTC dialer can be disabled using DiamondTweak or Schaps Advanced Configuration Tool. You must also disable the HTC Volume Control if you wish to be able to adjust the volume in-call. The only working method that I know of is to use this CAB here.
Edit: It turns out that disabling the HTC dialer also loses the Bluetooth icon in the taskbar. I had a quick google and found this solution. I've tested it and it works fine on my Diamond. File attached below for convenience.
Edit 2: The developers of the bluetooth icon app have released a new version that's more compatible with VGA! See below.

Nice one, glad someone else finds it useful! Can you post any more information? I don't know where those files are.
If anyone has any requests for other colours or designs, let me know. Also please feel free to post your own designs here.
so all i do is run the cab and then 10 mb will be freed up? does this work on the sprint diamond?
Any idea how to undo disable HTC volume control if I plan to go back to default HTC dialer?
Is the cab changing some registry settings?

No you need to disable the HTC dialer and volume control too. See post #2 for details. I don't know enough about the differences in the sprint but I expect so.

I don't really know what that cab does. Have you tried uninstalling from remove programs then soft-resetting?

Well done, I'd like to try this!
But, as I use skilty's TF3D Matrix theme with it's skinned dialer, I'd like to request a Matrix WM dialer skin, please. For personal use and to share it in the Matrix Trilogy theme resource thread.
Maybe you want to have a go at it? It would be great if you could design one with 'real' 1234567890 digits. Perhaps from one of the free Matrix fonts.. And it would be bonus if you could design another skin with 'actual' Matrix font digits, like these.
Or maybe you can just use skilty's dialer artwork? I could ask skilty. Anyway, TIA!
Thanks Davey101!
I'm waiting for that since a long time!!!

News flash!
The Matrix trilogy ended, lamely, 5 years ago!
I think it might be easiest to use transparent buttons with a simple green border so that the matrix background image is seen through the buttons. I'll see what I can come up with, unless you'd like to have a go?
I don't know how to change the button font, sorry.
I use Vito Winterface....
I have made these buttons but not centered!
(I take the same gif mesure of Black VGA Dialer skin: 86x56, 128x54, 142x56 and 180x54)
If somebody could help me...
THX!!!

Your problem (maybe because of your English!)
Hi all,
Is anyone able to develope a Dialer skin that increases the numeric button sizes, There is a big bar of space at the top of the dialer that could be used for the other buttons we use, Or can we remove the call history list to increase the buttons?

I'm sure it is possible but that would involve replacing or editing the dialer software, not just the skin. The standard software has a fixed layout and we can replace the images used but not change their size or position.
It might be worth looking around for an alternative dialer...

Well, I don't know how to change anything on the WM dialer, so please, try transparent buttons and a simple green border and I'll check it out. Cheers!

[THE] TP2 TF3D Neon Tabs - v1.2a [10-06-2009] - Coming back - Soon

TF3D Neon Tabs Theme
Still development in progress but so far I have managed to get the actual TF3D tabs to be in a type of "Neon" scheme.
I will be working heavily on this trying to go through all icons in TF3D making them Neon so there will be many updates to follow making this simply perfect.
Feedback more than welcome and opinions probably will be worked in.
Please note, people have confirmed this works on....
-- Touch Pro 2
-- Touch Diamond 2
-- Touch HD
If you do try this on any other phone, please let me know the outcome, I should be able to adapt the files to work on any phone in theory
The Cab file is fully un-installable so if you don't like them, just remove the program in Remove Programs and you're back to normal.

There is no need to extract the file, it's a cab anyway.
Just copy the file to your phone and open it -it installs itself.
Beautiful!
Thankz!

Hope you all like them.
I'm going to be working on the lot in 'All People' tonight, so hopefully should have an update later.
Also going to be working on the actual button on the base, any ideas from anyone how you'd want it to look?

The slide part, the button that you hold to move and slide, the "block". Can't think what its called but its the rectangle block that you slide from left to right.
Ahh ok, you mean the slider .
I'm already using Lucarp's transparent slider.
I've attached it, so you can have a look for yourself what it does.

Here's a screenshot of the slider if you don't want to install it

Looks good, I want it to be a bit narrower though I think, not 100% sure yet, haven't made my mind up. Think I'll have a play around and might incorporate it in my icon set.
Update
Updated icons to include people section and also added transparent slider and transparent bottom curtains in so no need for extra installs.
Nice Icon's
Very nice work!...Would love to use these with my Touch HD!!

I can do them for the Touch HD too if needed. I just need the manila files uploading somewhere if someones prepared to do it?
Have you tried it on the HD? It might just work...?
I will try them out tomorrow and give you an update! Again, they look great! Cheers to your fine work!
Hi there, just want to say it works on my Touch HD Unfortunately I am using a chinese rom (Devilstone v3.7 with TouchFLO 34 2.1.38158.2), so I am not too sure if it will work with other cooked romr, just give it a try I guess~
Here are the screenshots:
This is just the theme itself (with Lucarp78TS.cab)
And this is the transparent both cab (I uninstall Lucarp78TS.cab)
Looks awesome on my TP2. Thanks dude, good job.
