This application lets you customise your HTC's spinning 'cube' faces in many ways, changing icons, layout, which applications are launched, etc. You can change the following:
- Your Music/Pictures/Video programs (change which apps and titles)
- Your 3x2 APLauncher on the cube (change the apps, icons and titles)
- Layout of your APLauncher; positioning of icons, etc*
- Additional APLauncher Cube faces*
- Your Weather Location to be far more specific (i.e. not the limited in-built city selection)
- Your weather options (auto-update settings, etc.)
IMPORTANT NOTE: The app is no longer being developed - see this post. However, you may still request support from other kind users on this forum thread and I can confirm that it works well on the HTC Touch GSM (Elf). Users have also had success using it on the Sprint Touch, Vogue, OKTA, Touch Dual and Polaris, plus other mobile devices that have HTC TouchFlo correctly installed on them.
See the screenshots below for more info.
A lot of this is achieved via registry changes, on older HTC Touch devices (e.g. GSM Elf), a patched version of mediahubmini.exe is installed due to limitations of the in-built applications.
Installation instructions - Version 2.0 Onwards:
1. Copy the CAB to your device and run it.
Installation instructions - Older versions (before 2.0)
1. DELETE the file MediaHubMini.lnk from your \Windows\Startup directory and reboot... OR just terminate the process MediaHubMini.exe using memmaid, SKTools or another program.
2. Install the attached CAB file.
3. Run the app. (Start Menu -> Programs -> Touch Settings)
4. Click 'Save', reset again (close all apps, and power off your device properly first - otherwise changes may be lost!) and now your changes should be active.
Troubleshooting / Bugs
- If you enter an invalid path, then when you click Pictures or Videos, the device will freeze and you will see the spinning egg-timer forever. Reset, load the config app again and double check you have got the EXACT path to the executable correct.
- If you get an error that you could not install the cab because of "insufficient system priviledges / insufficient system permissions:
- Look into the settings of your device security model - check out this post for more information, or download Microsoft's Device Security Manager to alter your settings.
- Try the manual install version instead. See post on page three as well.

Acctualy,
if you have a ROM that already included any version of "biotouch settings", you can also install this, just by deleting the link (as in the instructions) in Windows\Startup and reseting.
Cheers
EDIT: it doesnt work very well.... try it at your own risk.... not recomended!

Thanks for this - I've had a look and you're absolutely right. The weather lists come directly from the accuWeather.com website, and they use a different system for North America. In fact, it's easier for me to just build the XML file into the app as there are incompatabilities with their 'zipcode' format and some of the home plugins.
Please try the new version v1.22 of the app and you should be able to select from many US cities. (Install to storage card perhaps as it's a bit larger now)

No! Please DON'T try to install using this method!. This version uses a different patch of mediahubmini.exe, so it WON'T work properly. In particular, the choice of "Other" for your music app won't work if you do it this way.
That's precisely why I wrote the installation instructions the way that I did.
Please could you edit your post to discourage this, as I don't have time to deal with the support requests that it would cause.
Just what I was after.
Thanks

thanxs bro nice apps
Excellent app, one question though...
is there an option to reset everything back to default? Don't say "Hard reset" ;-)
Just wondered as I changed my cube long ago and then thought "Damn, should have made a note of all the default parameters"!

There is a default package in first post. "MediaHubMini_Original_Unpatched.zip" to be exact. That should put things back to default if I understand correctly.
Great app. loving It. Could someone owning a nonbranded htc touch please post all the blue cube icons so we dutch t-mobile touch owners can get rid of the hideous pink and stupid web 'n walk icon. Cheers
Not quite
The media hub is one thing but the cube is another.
It had some parameters which I didn't make a not of before I changed apps and icons

Can we get the changes made for the weather plugin to allow more specific locations not found on the drop down list by itself not not have to load the whole cab?

You can use HTC Custom for this, or maybe this program as well?

I can't install the touch settings program, because of "insufficient system privileges", you refer to manual install, but I don't succeed in doing this, am I doing something wrong please help

Is this the SPB Today Plugin? I like the layout. I have this software but have not loaded in on my Touch. What profile software are you using?
Hi,
i have installed a ROM on my mobile (kaiser) without the lockstream pakage. unfortunately for me, my carrier is using lockstream for music.
So, I'd like to install it....
I have installed a cab which should work (see attached cab)
when i try to download a music from my carrier site, I can see that the process is ok but I doo not have the dialog box to save thefile. It seems that their is something missing.
Any idea?
UPDATE: 26/10/2009 Firstly I would like to apologise for the lack of updates but I have had a very busy last few weeks both personally anred professionally.
I have now completely rewritten the .cpr file to be better suited to our phones and although you may not find it exactly the same as the original Titanium, I think its a good effort and a good match. Again this is a BETA release, so everything may not be perfect. I am also working on being able to change between Titanium and Sliding Panels, but I don't when I can complete that. Thank you to all those who have already downloaded.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After having downloaded ALEUT's new 6.5 rom last nite, I started to work on a few things. So far I have made Titanium work for 176x220 screens, but please remember this is a very early alpha and has been ported from a 240x320 .cpr file, and I am continuing to work to make it work properly.
The second thing is that ALEUT's 6.5 Menu Style was a bit green for my liking, so I decided to make a blue one instead and thought it would be nice to share it.
I've been a long time reader and user of XDA, but rarely have posted my works. Hope someone might find them useful.
Dear neodoughnut
its really nice theme but there is a problem in this theme after fresh installation when i install it it works fine but when i install something eles any app then after restart there is no more that themes remain in my Spv c500 i tried again and again but same problem?
Luckylips: I'm sorry to hear that you are encountering this problem. I've installed most of my regular apps since having installed the MenuStyle but haven't had any problems so far. Is there any app in particular that causes this or is just anything that install?
Well i don't think there is any particular app ! whatever i install and after that when i reboot my cell theme is no more!!
Is there any plugins that can be used for this titanium? I mean, weather, launcher, or etc?
Fix

No more Homescreen available... :-(
Hello,
I seem to have the same problem with the Titanium theme. I installed it and once I reboot, no more Home Screen can be found.
About the new files from the fix? Where do I have to put them? \Application\Home ? Is there a way i can edit a file to get back to the normal homescreen? I really do not want to reset my phone to defaults.
I hope somebody can help me out here.
Thanks
@oolinger
u should copy them in \aplication data\home.
then select titanum home screen in setting>homescreen
but the main problem of this cab is cpr file u shold use this cpr
With the new .cpr you gave on desktop appears the message:
"The layout you have selected cannot be loaded...please use...."

Release notes:
Version 23569 2010-06-21:
Ongoing progress, since I am cooking it with a self made assistant where I am implementing different cooking functionalities (so far it imports the sys zip file, generates the ROM folders, selects packages used in last build configuration, removes beta watermark, etc :
Original SoftBar Icons.
About screen still showing 28008 in ROM Version.
Version 28008 2010-04-05: 183 downloads
Music Player does not stop anymore when screen goes off (thanks to pcarvalho).

Deblogger fixed: disable logging for diff modules through registry and if existing, delete deblogger folder
Registry logger for installed files: mortscript, provxml and reg files
Version 28008 2010-03-23: 65 downloads
Standard wm6.5.3 Lockscreen added
Some icons fixed
Icons for sd programs zipped, extracted out of windows directory (to \cruiserrr) and deleted if not used.

Profiles Module improvements
Version 28008 2010-03-01: 60 downloads
Beta release
Nice i'm gonna test it right now
I'm flashing right now!
White screen after flash and boot - wtf!
sorry for that ! never happened to me. Did you tap in the screen in the middle anyway? Please, anybody can confirm if it works or not? It if does not work I will remove the link, and do some more testing.
Edit: I flashed back to wm6.1 and then again my rom and it loads smoothly. Pcarvalho, alexander.voigt and others have detailed instructions in their roms and they recommend to flash original 6.1 first and hard reset after first flash.
works just fine - nice touches like second home
i'd rather have ie removed for opera though
@reiteravi, thanks for the confirmation and the comment.
You can place cabs in xda_uc and they will be installed automatically after flashing. This way I avoid double space (files doubled in windows and program folder) or overloading windows folder.
gettin rid of the ie in the first place is what i need
anyway i'm in nanding android now so i'll check this rom or any newer later
thanks
interesting rom...try if i have time

Works just fine, but calendar is spanish ?
If possible, I'm looking for a danish version also.
Great job anyway.
Hi, I will check the calendar language.
You should be able to config it yourself in the meanwhile. It is a today freeware plugin called Today Agenda, in a second today screen. You have an icon in my settings to configure plugins to be shown in SecondToday (you can add more plugins like windows default plugins or install new ones) Please, use the search function.
Regarding the plugin of the calendar, as I said it is called Today Agenda and should be configurable in a number of languages. I do not know if your language is supported but english should be.
I take note and will document more in next release and add othe languages if they are not in the ROM.
Regarding versions of the ROM in other languages, it is currently not in my agenda, sorry for that.
First I need to complete the ROM adding more support to other sd programs, adding backup buttons for the main apps (like speed dial), document my proposed sd xda_uc user customization, optimize folders for sd usage... upgrade to newer builds... test for true 6.5 kernel... optimize the xip... and then I will try to produce versions in main european languages.... That is defenetely a lot of work and time...
hengelo, jan_sorensen, listen ! why do not you try cooking one in your language !! We have kitchens in this forum that are ready to cook in the different languages and would be great to have new roms and cookers for all to enjoy !!
Open a thread or post in the polaris chef thread and I will be glad to help you (whenever I have the knowledge) throughout the process ! (and I suspect I would not be the only one willing to help
... among many others, there is a german guy around the forum that never lets an answered question last too long ...
i cant download any new rom for my touch cruise p3650
plz help me
it will be difficult to help you if you do not explain what happens to you
excellent job but...
i managed to install it in my polaris and everything about it is so amazing. memory is almost unused! and major languages are available as well .. i also managed to install the following smoothly:-
---------------------------------------
Arabic language as well n it's compatible
Manila 2.5 with the weather thingy
gfxboost
Garmin XT
Skype
NoniView
YouTube
Advanced Config
Midomi
Call Firewall
n many more
----------------------------------------
However, either with or without these apps.. this version seems to consume lots of time just to boot up (about 4 minutes) n it freezes so badly to the extent that sometimes i have to hard reset.. and it freezes again while booting up system!
i've been working on finding a way to fix this problem but i cant seem to find any.
for the same of others, i hope i'm the only once facing this problem
thanks for the feedback ! If you do not mind I will pm you to get more details on the freezes.
I am aware of the long booting time (I am working on it) but I did not have freeezes here. The ROM has not arabic support at all, I do not know if it influences. Please, if you can explain further would be great if you could send me a pm or post here.
recently, i havent been able to install themes downloaded from this forum successfully.
One of the theme i tried is anastasia and dinik theme. My whole clock is missing! icons missing on my home page. My slider( home page) cant moved. The only thing on my home page now is the weather. Now there is 'Title' word on the middle of my home page permanently too. somehow bits of my old theme is on my home page as well. Which weird because i deleted the old theme thru Device>Windows>Appmgr.
This happened before when i used another theme.clock, icon missing.
And now my phone doesnt go to lock screen anymore. I didnt change the settings at all.
My rom version is 1.48.
Pls help i've been having this prob for weeks alrdy. Thanks!
back up and hard reset would be my suggestion.
Oh no! Would u tell what caused this prob ? so that i wont repeat the same mistake again.
And hard reset-> my phone contacts gone too? how do i back up?
sorry for the trouble thanks.
you have probably installed a theme/tweak or mod that is incompatible with the version of either manila or windows that your device is running.
tons of methods to back up.personally all I do is sync my contacts with outlook.thats all I back up.
PHP:
But why doesnt my phone theme not return to the original theme even if i delete the downloaded theme?
Why is that even if i deleted a downloaded icon file or theme, it still remains in the display on my phone page?
sry asking so many qns.
When you install new mods and themes it quite often overwrites the existing files that you would consider the "original theme". So uninstalling does not bring the old files back - it just deletes the new ones.
As samsamuel says, a hard reset is probably your best bet.
Incidentally, whenever your lockscreen doesn't appear when you lock the phone, or when you can't open emails by clicking the preview in the email tab, go to start and then lock (bottom left menu option). That fixes that problem temporarily. The only permanent fix I know for that is a ROM upgrade, as 1.48 is oooooooooold now!
Kill 2 birds with 1 stone and just flash a new ROM.
it could be that the theme is badly written and just overwrites files that then cannot be restored, or the theme wasn't for your system so it's messed the registry, who knows? not me!
Oh. Thanks alot guys!
your help is greatly appreciated!
