Hi
Just thought I'd post a wee thread here to let you know that I've now completed the new version of this app which lets you customise the HTC touch cube, and now also select your own custom weather location.
The CAB / support thread is at:

hey
i put the cab file on my cingular 8125 with the NBD 8.0 rom and when i go to install it it says "Installation was unsuccessful. The program or setting cannot be installed because it does not have sufficient system permissions.
oh sorry i didnt remove the thing in the startup folder works greats now
Great, thanks for sharing!
This is great work! However, I do not know where to find new icones. They are *.png extentions but how do you create them for different programs?
Thanks again for this wonderful work!

I´ve been following with interest the porting of touchflo interface to non-Elf (Touch) devices.
There have been lots of requests for developing a cab with files n settings for such an interface. It has been suceesfully ported to custom ROMs for Artemis, wizard...., but developers say that there is no way to build just a cab.
not being a developer, i would like to know the rationale behind "cab is no possible", as i can not undestand why, if touch flow can be ccoked to a ROM, it can not be made into a cab. Surely there is an explanation.
(i ask this question because i´d rather keep the stock ROM until warranty period is over, but i want to use my device (Artemis) as much as possible without reverting to stylus)
The Problem is that the Touch.dll must be replaced with the one from HTC Touch... this is not possible.
Only before cooking the Rom you are able to replace System DLLs
..
hope this helps
So the solution would be to make an installation rotine that unloads touch dll from memory, ,overwrites it with the replacement "flo" one, and then reload touch dll.
is that a workable solution under MsMobile platform?
Sorry if i´m proposing a nonsense, as i´m no programmer at all (just "hello world" stuff)
I'm not one of the ROM cookers here but I think the system dlls that need replacing cannot be deleted because they are in ROM and therefore, the device needs to be flashed to change behaviour.

or just the cab being reinstalled after every hard reset?
The touch.dll is different from device to device... so u'll have to have a "touch" dll that fits your device. Another reason is that the dll can not be changed after flashing the rom, has it is protected by the OS (not even using Total Commander...).
I try to overwrite Touch.dll via some program to replace the original Touch.dll.
After replace it, Touch-screen is no respond to any touch on the screen but Hardware button still working ,then I restore my device.
In my idea, I think Touch.dll is device specific and this file take control all of touch-screen. So Touch.dll cannot be replace by conventional method.
We have to rewrite Touch-Flo program to hook on another dll, e.g. Touch-Flo.dll. (This is just my theory) But I don't know "How to do it ?".
Does anyone have idea about it ?

Well, until Tytn II(Kaiser) is released, the only touch-flo enabled phone that can be bought off the shelf is HTC Touch.
So all cooked ROMs for Artemis, Wizard.....that include touchflo, must include touchflo dlls extracted from HTC Touch ROM.
Then, my understanding is that, as these touch-flo ROM do actually run on devices other than HTC Touch, the dll´s needed must be not so "device specific" but (more or less) generic for QVGA devices without graphics processor (or at least for OMAP 200 devices).
maybe its not only touch dll, but also other files which have to be replaced by files from HTC Touch.
Has any body managed to extract the touchflo files from HTC touch or TytnII??? If yes then kindly post them here. Maybe we can try to put it in other models like Hima..

There a number of ROMs that include TouchFlo in Prophet, Artemis n Wizard xda-dev forums.
i dont know how to extract specific files from a ROM file, nor which files are flo-related files, and have to be extracted.
Surely the cookers of those ROMs can advise and even provide the Flo files.

look in the wizard WM6 forum, there are several kitchen roms and links to OEM packs with all the touch stuf thats needed.
I agree ,
i dont understand why is not possible to make one application just to touchflo,
let´s take some examples:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=321242
this stops, but i test and works, only whid some bugs, and is not reali a touchflo
http://www.pocketcm.com/index.php
this one makes touchflo
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=325223&highlight=iphone+media+player
this one is touchflo application
icontacts is a touchflo application
so...i dont understand why is not possible to make a touchflo cab
i have all this aplications in a s200 wm5!

touchflo requires Touch.dll, and Touch.dll is not an application. Itz part of the OS which is device dependent. Unless someone writes a fully working touchflo cube, managed to remove the current touch.dll with his own dll, then it is portable from device to device.

funny thread in the sense some pple is asking the same again and again.
I would summarize state of art as follows:
-Some ROMs with Touch flo have been developed by forum members for devices other than HTC Touch.
-Touch flo files are available for those who want to cook their own ROM, at least for OMAP devices.
- As today,Touch flo files can not be installed in a device over an existing ROM because installation can not overwrite certain files as they are in use by the system.
Workaround (Yet To be made)would be an installation routine that unloads files to be replaced, and loads touchflo ones. This routine should be performed after every reset, as resets reloads the files from original ROM.
Here are a bunch of cabs to give you the look of the Touch but these won't give you the finger scroll feature.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311225
I personnally don't care for the eye candy on my wizard, but like the touch driver that lets me finger scroll. The OEM packs I've seen bundle this driver with the today plug-in, but there's just a few files specific to the touch driver that can be separated out from the today plug-in.

to get fingerscrolling you'll only need the touch.dll not othere file or regestry setting but somehow it doesn't seem to work for all devices. I don't know why... if it just can't work or no one figured it out yet?

Guys,
I have a Kaiser and I want Touch Cube on it. So I started searching on all the forums but I'm totally lost. I already tried a cab to install but it didn't work and because I'm not such an expert as you guys, I'm scared to crash my Kaiser. Above all there are so many threats and posts, that I'm losing it.
So a very simple questing:
Were can I find the latest, as bug free as possible, easy to install cab file for installing Touch Cube on my Kaiser.
Thx!

Hello ahmad.yousry. cheers for your work with this theme. I have a possibly stupid question. u know in your step to import the regisrty settings could u possibly be a bit more specifc - i.e. i dont know how to do that. im a newbie here and the touch dual is my 1st ppc.
i have copied the biotouch registry key to my memory card and the cab file.
i have PHM registy editor on my phone.
cheers for ur help
p.s. i have a 3 sided htc cube on my touch dual - does that mattter?
just open the registry file from your explorer
no problem about having a 3 sided cube, this is supposed to turn into a 4 sided 1
But this uses not the original Cube.
Therefor u end in a much worse usage.
U can also alter the original Cube by adding new page.
On my XDA Star already was a second Launcherpage.
It's only a copied and renbamed APLauncher.exe (CustAPLauncher.exe),
new registry path under Biotouch (also named CustAPLauncher.exe)
and new Images.
A Member at the german community ppc-welt.de even realised a 3rd Launcherpage that way.
Completely new at this have registered the bio-touch and installed your cab file but when I activate the cube I see your images for 1 second then the old image appear when I scroll left or right this also happens. Can you please help me?
Cube of Life depends on iCube. have you installed iCube before this?
Now that i have all installed, can anyone kind enough to post step by step explanory on how to add or change applications(inclusive of 3rd party installed software) in the cube?
@dlsw
maybe you can read this thread as start
