'Touch Settings' Program for Vogue (aka Sprint Touch)

First - thank you to Carlos for his hard work on the original version and now for taking the time to update it for those of us using Sprint's touch. I'm starting this as a separate thread since the new beta version will have many issues unrelated to the original versions.
And, unfortunately, I get to start off with my first issue which occurs upon execution of the program.
A few moments after starting the program I get the follow error message...
System.ArgumentException: An error message cannot be displayed because an optional resource assembly containing it cannot be found at Microsoft.AGL.Common.MISC.HandleAr() at System.Drawing.Bitmap._InitFromMemoryStream() at System.Drawing.Bitmap..ctor() at TouchSettings.Form1.load PBpictureFromPath()
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And then the error message scrolls off the screen without scroll bar for me to see what else it says...
Upon clicking the "OK" button, the program continues to load to the App Launcher screen.
Upon load, the App Launcher screen is empty. The screenshot, icons, path and program title are not populated.
When I click on the empty box where the screenshot should be located I get the same as as before and the program exits.
I can populate the App name and path fields and can also ad an Icon -- but only for one program. When I save and reset however, the app name, path and icons are not retained.
When returning to the program after the first entry, I continue to receive the same error and the App Launcher screen is again blank.
In Media Hub:
First - the screenshot displayed is from the other version of the Touch screens...with the bluegreen icons -- not yellow. I assume you know that, but just wanted to mention it.
The "Sprint Music" fields default to the ATC Audio Manager which, to my understanding, does not come on the Touch. I've already installed AudioManager so the link worked fine -- but I'd suggest defaulting it to Sprint's Java-based Music ap just like the stock set up (less confusion for noobs)
Sprint TV seems to work as expected.
On Demand also worked as expected.
I changed the settings for On Demand to point to \windows\HTCAlbum.exe, however, and upon re-boot I received the following error when trying to run it from the cube:
The file " cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
(and that single quotation mark after the words "The file" is exactly what displays)
Weather appears to display properly. I haven't had a chance to test the auto update feature yet.
On the bright side - the About screen works perfectly. It's just as easy to send Carlos a beer as it was before!
Given that we'll soon have a Vogue forum started I also assume you'll probably want to update the Support Thread to include a link for "Sprint Support"??
Whew. That's all for the first 10 minutes.
THANK YOU CARLOS! Your hard work is appreciated!

My experience is exactly the same on the sprint touch.
Joe

I just wanted to drop in and say thanks for all your work Carlos!

Same problems still having problems with the app loader portion of the settings. The other settings work as they should.

ok well i made custom PNG's for Slingplayer mobile and opera, if anyone needs custom images let me know im makin em. BUt i need the sprint program to implement the images!

the original "Touch Settings" program that you're referring to will work with the Sprint Touch without any problems. You just have to know what you're doing....
Step 1: Download TaskMgr and copy to your phone. Place TaskMgr in the \windows\start menu\programs\ folder of your device.
Step 2: Run the TaskMgr program you just put on your device. Upon opening TaskMgr, a list of running processes will be displayed. You want to terminate the following processes; biotouch.exe, quickdial.exe, mediahubmini.exe and aplauncher.exe. To do this, select each one individually and then tap the "Close" button on the bottom of the screen.
Step 3: Download and install the TouchFlo Alpha cab below.
- 3a: upon successful completion of the installation you will be prompted to "Reset" your device. Click "NO".
4. navigate to the \windows\startup folder and delete any new links that were created.
5. navigate to the \windows\start menu\programs folder and delete "touchflo"
6. Download and install the Touch Settings Cab below. Again, at the completion of the installation it will prompt you to restart your device. SELECT NO!. You are not ready to reset your device just yet.
7. Now that you've killed the 4 processes, installed the touchflo alpha cab and the touch settings cab, we're almost done. Navigate to the \windows\startup folder and delete the mediahubmini link.
8. Soft Reset Device.
9. Launch "Touch Settings" program from the Start Menu.
10. BEFORE MAKING ANY CHANGES TO THE CUBE CLICK "SAVE". WAIT APPROXIMATELY 1 MINUTE AND THEN SOFT RESET AGAIN.
11. Run Touch Settings again and start customizing.
Hope this helps.
Later

Not sure what and where to get these cabs... can you provide links? (especially first one)

Hi guys and thx Haggar and others for bug reports - I think I may have some theories as to what's going wrong.
I made a new test build for you to try out - the CAB is attached below. (REMOVED, SEE LATER POST FOR UPDATED VERSION) Please install and let me know how you get on. It should create a log file called log.txt in the app directory which you can attach to your post in case of any problems:
QUESTIONS:
1. Does it now work?
2. If not, what happens?
3. If not, please attach the log file.
4. When you go to the "About" screen, it says "Detected Device:" at the top - what is the detected device?
@utexas - I'm not sure what your instructions are referring to, but please ignore these peeps, as it would be best for us to try to get the app working properly with the Sprint without resorting to loading older versions of the TOuchFLO software onto your devices.
Finally, does anybody have a Sprint that they HAVENT yet installed Touch Settings onto? If so, please could somebody zip up a copy of \Windows\MediaHubMini.exe for me from your Sprint device and send it to me? This should be BEFORE installing any Touch Settings software, as this patches over the executable, and I'd like a copy of the NEW MediaHubMini.exe that comes with your device, so I can see if I need to release a new patch. If anyone has recently hard reset their device, then the file will be on your device unaltered.
Thanks for the nice comments peeps.
Carlos

Here you go Carlos. I have never installed Touch Settings on my Sprint Touch.
What exactly is Touch Settings? Could someone tell me, or point me to the original thread? Thanks.

Thanks Carlos... I've attached the log.txt file... still generating errors... looking for bitmaps (brns) that it cannot load... example... looking for \windows\AL_03.brn... this file is indeed located in the indicated location so not sure what the problem is...I tried to make and save a change to the launcher and now I get no images in the 3x2 launcher.

same here. but what i figured out about "no images in the launcher" is the path are all set to "\\" instead of just one "\". so i use memmaid to fix it in the registry and the cube is fine again.

OK everyone
Thanks for all the log files etc. It's now very clear what the issue is - simply that the newer version of the touch uses BRN files instead of PNG files for its icons! BRN is a proprietary format, basically a BMP with header information removed and some other changes; there's information elsewhere on this site about it.
So... ...to get Touch Settings working on the Sprint, I'll have to build BRN support into the program, which is going to involve:
1. Studying the file format and finding out more info. ([HREF="http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=325424"]this thread[/HREF] is a good starting point)
2. OR approaching the author of the BMP2BRN program to ask if he'd allow me to use his source code inside Touch Settings.
....if anyone can help with either of these, please do! Touch Settings is written in vb.net CF.
Until then, might I suggest you go about trying to use .PNG files instead for the time being, and report back to the forum to let us know if they work instead of BRN files! I will release a new build of Touch Settings asap which side-steps the error messages and displays blank icons for the time being, just so as you can use the program.. ..it will work fine, it just won't display the icons for you!

Mark, thanks ever so much for this - will be very helpful! Original thread about Touch Settings - and what it is - here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=324556

log file...
My log file also had the same info. Thanks for all your hard work Carlos. A friend of mine also has a touch that does not have any settings program installed. Let me know if you need any other files.

lol i had a post earlier about PNG and BRN files. Basically i want to be able to just chang the icons text and path. I dont care about the BG color, how how the cube rotates. I made my own CUstom PNG's for the 3X2 launcher, and i made a custom one for the media hub. I made them all the same size on accident, but for the sprint touch do i need to convert the PNG's to BRN files then where do i save them in my phones directory?
anyone have the dimensions for the 3X2 and the media hub. I made them all
119 by 105. ?? Is there an easy way to change the size to the size for the media hub because i believe that is the size for the 3X2. Any help is appreciated!

Carlos,
I see from reading another thread you've already got the source code for "BrnConvert"... does this meet your needs or do you need anything else?
Let us know what we can do to aid your efforts... 1.29c was close but I had to clean up my registry to remove all the double slashes in the image and program paths and obviously the brn issue you noted...
Again thanks for you great work on this...
Everyone else... don't forget to buy this man a beer at his Fatattitute.com web site

is there any new news on a possible fix?

Is version 1.29c worth installing at this point? Any recommendations??

Hello everyone - I think I may be nearly there!
I've certainly got BRN support working on my original touch, anyway, so let's see if this new build works for you.
CAB file attached below, usual installation instructions apply. (see this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=324556)
Please let me know if the icons are displaying correctly, and any other feedback re: usage. Should be the correct colour mediahub logo too!
Carlos
PS: Sprint owners, for completeness, you may want to copy the newer mediahubmini.exe into your \Windows\ directory (attached) as my prog overwrites it with a slightly older version. My tests have shown this shouldn't be a problem, but it's up to you. Note to older Touch users: do NOT use this newer version of mediahubmini.exe you will run into problems with your touch screen.

so we install the cab then just replace the EXE file after.
also carlos, if i want to make my own icons
1. can they be the same size for the media hub and 3X2
2. Do they need to be BRN style, i made them PNG (but i can convert to BMP then to BRN.)
3. Where do i save them on my phone.
4. i have the sprint touch!
thanks carlos

Htc Weather Plug

Hi,
I've just bought an Htc Cruise, and wanted to add Luxemburg to the Weather plugin, but without success.
I changed the HH_409_WeatherCities.xml buy adding Luxemburg.
<city name="Luxemburg, LU" loca="EUR|LU|LU003|Luxemburg" land="Luxemburg"/>
First I disabled the htc Home in the Settings.
Softreset.
I changed the hh_409_WeatherCities.xml.
Moved The hh_409_Weathercities.xml to Windows Folder.
I receive the message "Unable to retrieve data for selected city."

Are you sure your internet connection is on Of course just at that moment accuweather.com may be unreachable. Try againt in 30 min and make sure you have correctly confured internet on the phone

The Internet connection is working.
When i'm selecting another city it works.
But with cities i added in the xml file it doesn't work.

As I understand it, the HTC weather plugin actually routes it's requests through HTC themselves, and they only serve certain (ie: the default) cities. Have a look at this thread where the author claims to have found a solution:

Excuse me for my bad English ...
The file HH_409_WeatherCities.xml may be "read-only", "System" or "in ROM" and can not be rewritten?

@maclux
Look at the following site. I have made a little tool only for a german orbit2, but it may also work with others.
http://www.ppc-welt.info/community/showthread.php?t=122846&page=2
Look at post #61.
First you have to patch the HTCHome.dll, then you can change the xml-file.

I had the same problem myself, but i found that Resco Explorer can overwrite the file
Btw...the patching of the dll really works, and made the weather plugin work for me!

problems editing the file too
I am having problems editing the file to support my local weather. I have found by reading various post that its a very simple process. But my new WM6.1 ROM on my AT&T Tilt has set the file permissions to "ROM". I have already edited a new copy of the file only to find out its "in ROM" status keeps me from deleting or modifying the file.
I would love to know if I can edit a "in ROM" file.
Thanks in advance for any help.

I had the same problem, but it was solved patching the DLL after disabling the plug-in and copying the the XML file with the Resco. After that, all runs fine

Maybe I am wrong but you spell Luxemburg, but the link is LUXEMBOURG (OU) not (U). In brief you're missing a letter to the word Luxembourg

Just search for HTC Home Customizer - it'll do what you want.

HTC Home Weather Plug-in
Guys,
Firstly, unfortunately HTC home customiser cannot alter the original HTC home plugin (or i never got it to work ), you have to unistall the original and use the one downloaded by HHC, which has bugs (mail icon does not open mail but messaging etc etc)
I downloaded the fixed version of HTC home from here, which allows you to input user city via registry or using advanced config. Works for me and you can manually configure to how you wish it to look. Ive attached the diamond style clocks/icons should you wish to use them, thanks to varanusvincent

Sorry for repeat post, had trouble uploading files, see attached

english version of ultimatelauncher

I just downloaded UL and i love it, but all the menu's are in German. anyone know of an English version?

There you go...
MM

do you know where i can get a icon package for this program. extension *.ico

It uses standard windows icons...
You can find *.ico files all over internet for windows, aslong as you use 32x32 and 48x48 for animated icon then its easy.
Tabs must be big enough for icons..

Anyone having a problem with it freezing when it starts up? It happens to me when I have a voicemail. The active sync would open and then I can't do anything. I ended up hard reseting my phone to be able to run my phone again. I like this program. I just don't want to keeping hard reseting my phone everytime I get a voicemail and soft reseting before I clear it.

this is one sweet app.
anyone know how to enable the Task and Schedule today plugins to work in the tabs?

Anyone buy the full version yet? I tried this program and loved it, so I bought it from Handango.com. The registration seemed to work, but at some point I got "not activated" all over the screen. I went back into the configure program, and the registration code went back to all 0's. I've since been flashing a few different rom's (trying to find the best 6.1 for my 8525) so I haven't reloaded it yet. Hopefully it was a freak thing, and it'll work once I reload it.

I had the same problem when i first installed it, phone freezes then activesync opens and the phone stops to respond, had to hard reset too .
I made sure that all active today plugins are not dsiplayed ( settings,today, uncheck them ) then installed ultimatelauncher, loaded those plugins into seperate ultimatelauncher tabs. been working fine so far, I had no problems ,been two days now .
For the *.ico files, i converted few *.tga icons to *.ico , ultimatelauncher would see them but won't load them .. so i figured it could be the size of the icon, a bit big for ultimatelauncher ( 40 X 40 ) .. will try with smaller icons later .
Edit : tried with ( 16 X 16 ) icons and still ultimatelauncher won't load them

Vodafone uk users only

Hi Guys,
As you are aware we are waiting for the HardSPL, but in the mean time, can you share what Theme you are using which has no issues on your TP2...a cab file would be nice.
This way we know what works on our Vodafone UK branded phones.
Thanks in Advance....

There are a few threads on here dealing with this. But the gist is:
Download this
http://www.4shared.com/file/109330961/b9be5561/TF3DIIBlack.html
Before installing it copy the "2330fc3c_manila" file from the windows directory and put it back after installation. When installing DO NOT let your screen turn off!!! and it takes AGES to install, about 20-30 minutes.
Once it is installed, reboot and you have the default HTC black TF3D theme, with white fonts. You can then install any theme you want without CFC compression

Thanks Stunno, I have done this, but I think I have cocked up slightly, I did not re-install the manilla file before re-booting, my weather is in French, I assume this would have changed it? I am now unable to install as presumably this will not let you whilst touch flo is running? can I switch off touch flo to re-install this file?

Use Total Commander or the Resco file manager to copy the file

I copied a couple of times and also got the permission errors, but I think it did actually copy, when I went back into weather it was in English (may have soft reset in the interim)

Just to confirm to people that the above works like a dream. BUT FOLLOW / READ THE INSTRUCTIONS.
For users that dont want to twinker to much in regards to copy this file, save this file, cut this file, paste the file...install another app etc.... USE THIS.
Simple install and a simple tweak and thats it. You are up and running.
I used MaxTT but for me I'm happy with Stunno's method.
Once again thanks for the guys who have posted !!

Thanks Stunno.
Works perfectly.
People might like to make a note of the programs they have on their quick launch "start page" as these need to be setup again.

I'm having trouble with reestablishing Facbook,
I can edit the first of the reg files, but the next two won't open for some reason. I'm using total Commander to edit them.
I've managed to change facebook.disable value to 0, but that's about it, any help appreciated!

I followed the instructions given in these threads, except I copied the manila file after installing. I disabled TF3D, copied the manila, restarted TF3D. It works beautifully.
I also installed from the numerous icon packs and different background from the HDwall collection and my TP2 doesn't look at all like the one shipped by VF.
Go for it guys. Just go for it.

Tried that but it doesn't give me the option to link to facebook, I thin there should be tick boxes, but these are missing.

DVP Mango EM App

I finally got my hands on the 1.12 Engineering Mode application and have decompiled it (see attached (decompiled - not working really))
And Guess what?
I Found the File Browser !!!!!
When you go to the RD Test -> About page enter in FB or 983 and BAM! File Browser!
It is limited (can only read text files), slow and hard to use but hey it's a file browser!
Incase you were wondering, here is the URL to the package:
http://download.windowsupdate.com/m..._c13ae38ec4ab63aeb46ee1f7bbee3ab878390112.cab
Also attached is the EM app itself if you wanted just that.
Other info
There are 188 different menus in this application!!

I hope you're successful!
This are indeed great news.
You're contribution to the DVP is great.

I found the URL where the mango cab was from Microsoft's windows update. From there I just extracted the cabs and the xaps.

that's pretty smart
may want to get in touch with notebookgrail since he performed a similar inquiry with em.xap

I already read and tried it. The problem is there isnt a custome boot loader available for the DVP and you need the cab.pks files to be signed by microsoft.

FWIW - the File browser in DVP is a plain old binary/stream reader. All it does is just reads each byte by byte and is programmed to parse for folder and file. Hence, it's useful to read text file. It can also read any file for that matter (bascailly like opening a dll or anyfile with notepad) - as long as you have patience starring at the dark screen .
FYI - this filebrowser is there since 1.10FW.
This app is really useful if you know the exact path of the file you want to read. All u do is write a short code and make a dev app that will take input of a the path and just spit the contents of it. (i had one a while back, will dig and see if it works in Mango). Again you will get tombstoned by the MS security.

I'm in EM and click RD Test. I have a textbox. How do I get to the file browser? I entered 983 in there and nothing happened.
EDIT: Nevermind, you type in *#6336#

I need some help from a DVP AT&T user with mango and all that Jazz installed.
Download the Windows Phone Device Manager from http://www.touchxperience.com/ and install it. Connect your DVP wait 30 seconds and then run the WP Device Manager as administrator. It will take a few seconds to a minute and download and install the touch explorer applicaiton. It should now conect to the application and show an image of the DVP on the desktop. If not turn off wifi, click "PC Connection" once (it will fail), hit cancel at the prompt and then turn WiFi back on. If you are connected to your home router we can connect over wifi to your desktop. Click on PC conneciton again and this time it might ask you for your computer's IP. Enter that and it should connect. Without closing the app now or letting the screen turn off go into WPDM and click on the File Explorer. Click on Windows and then find the EM.xap file. Attach it to a post here so I can see if the AT&T version is any different than the T-Mobile version. I doubt it is but who knows.

Here you go, from an unlocked AT&T device. Doubt it's any different.

Darn it looks the same. I was hoping for something new to exploit.
