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!

Yeah, I didn't write the 6-sided cube. I worked with Polen to make my app scale to the number of sides you have installed.

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.
I'm tryng to find the best setup for my phone I like the iphone theme but I want something more stable. Any Ideas
try the htc cube and htc home screen
Thanks I will give them both a try.
I tried to use HTCCube FTouchFlo TFloCubeCtrlv110 Config with HTC_Audio_Manager 1.02 but I got a error saying ftouch is not installed but it is I turned it on top of that I don't see nothing is happing please help me get this up and running.
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
"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)???

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.

Hello all,
Can someone extract the Treo 800W today screen dialer plugin? It appears that the Treo Pro will not have this nice plugin. This plugin resides on the Today screen and can be hidden using the hidelogo.cab.
I like how the plugin lets you dial directly from the Today screen. The WM6.1 dialer takes you AWAY from the Today screen to dial, which is inefficient.
If someone already have the extracted cab, can you please PM me? In the past, the plugin was made available here but Palm complained and it had to be removed. Thanks so much!
I share your pain!
hi,
I'm with you - I hate the standard WM dialer. I've just upgraded to a Treo Pro from a 750 and I am not enjoying the experience. If you got anywhere with your request could you share it with me?
Thanks,
John
Nope, so far no luck. No one has been willing to share or help.
Is this what you are looking for?
Thanks for the file. I don't think it's the right one. What I am looking for is Treo's on screen dialer. When you start typing a name or number, it automatically begin to display the matching contact right ON the Today's screen. Although WM6 have this same feature, it takes you to a new window for the search. It find this extra screen inefficient.
Take a look at the image at this post. It's the second item on the screen. The one that says "Type a name or number"
http://discussion.treocentral.com/showpost.php?p=1465113&postcount=4
I think it's called "Dial look-up," but I think it is also part of "Active call" (the search box at least)
I just wish Palm's today screen plug-ins weren't so intertwined. I've tweaked them to off on my 700wx.
From my search in the forum, at some point, somebody did post this cab file. However it was removed because Palm supposedly complained to xda-dev. If it can be hosted offsite, that might work.
Hi guys,
I am building a WAD2 theme (an attempt to make a WindowsMobile7 themed GUI that is entirely finge friendly) - I have a notifier for Missed calls - It is also a finger friendly button. Upon touch I would like this to open the Diamond Call History.
I have tried things like VJPhoneShortcuts - It doesn't work, it only opens the dialer but doesn't jump to the call history page. Even tried a few .lnk files of my own. There must be an argument you can add to cprog.exe shortcut (cprog.exe is the phone shortcut) as when you have a Call History tab in TF3D you have the All Calls softkey which takes you exactly where I wanna go - But I cannot find for the life of me anywhere in the phone (registry and all) where the path is ...
Any help would be awesome. Thanks in advance.
Looks like this might help:
