Credits :
Special thanks to efrost for his FTouchFlo 1.4.1 and Minimize program!!!
Also special thanks to poorlyduck for help with final graphics, excellent job mate!!!
Many thanks to ALL BETA TESTERS for the great ideas and great bug testing to get the cube where it is today!!!!
Also Many thanks to everyone who donated to this project, I hope it is what you wished for!!!

Fantastic work so far mate... would love to see this once you have completed it.
The image reso was low but im assuming that its due to only being a prototype but love where your heading, works great.

Thanks DJKai,
Don't worry its well underway. I did a basic mockup of this prototype with the buttons for the music/photos/vids....and it worked great...i just have finish what I mentioned above plus also implement the "DownSlide" code so that the app minimize but not close the app....this way it'll prevent you seeing that annoying "Flash Player" title bar when it starts....if efrost is successful in getting the touch.dll to work with Hermes then you could launch it buy sliding your finger up and that would make it closer to the real thing.
Yeah sorry bout the low res....I had to take screenshots of Youtube to get those menu pics....if anyone has any better 240x320 bmps or pngs of them I'd be very interested...even if their just screenshots straight from a HTC Touch phone.
I'm at work right now so won't get a chance to code for another 5 hours.
BTW : Did you try enabling the Fullscreen option in the FlashPlayer ? Because upon opening the swf it will not open fullscreen.......yet.

Yeh I ran it in full screen mode.
Ouch you had to resort to youtube for the pics... i'll see if I can find those images for you... may have of seen some around somewhere.
It sounds as though you've got everything all planned and set.. great work again mate.
Edit: How are these? One still missing LOL

You're a champion DJKai!!! I'll use these pics as soon as I get home!

No worries.
Final piece to the puzzle.

They look great! I'm thinkin I might touch up the text as it doesn't appear to be anti-aliased/smoothed. What do you reckon?

Yeh sounds good.

Anti-Aliasing Done!
What-do-ya think of these apples??? They were compressed jpeg hence the artifacts a little....the photoshop files I got look great!

Slither2006 said:
I'm intrigued by the HTC Cube Launcher and after testing out ByKa's great Cube Launcher I was inspired to make as close a port to the HTC Cube Launcher as possible.
You'll need FlashLite 2.1 and will have to manually run the swf file in fullscreen mode....ill fix this later.
Here is what I've done so far (12-10-07) :
- Implemented 3 menus (contacts, Main menu, pics/photo/vids)
- Navigate between menus by sliding finger left and right.
- Only implemented a sliding animation not cube rotate animation.
To do very soon :
- Configure all buttons to launch their corresponding programs.
- Create the rotating cube animation (shouldn't be hard just time consuming with photoshop.)
- implement a config file that can read in contacts and assign contact pics.
- implement the DownSlide code very similar to the left/right code so that it minimizes the app.
This is really just a prototype so far and I'm sure many of you hate prototypes but be patient and I will deliver the final port as soon as I can.
Decompile my swf if you wish and reuse the code just give me credit where it is due. I'll upload the .fla file when I'm finished.
Hope you like it and if you have any feedback or suggestions
Slither2006
BTW : I contacted efrost and tested out his alpha release but had no luck getting his touchFlo working on my Hermes.

can u give me the fla file so that i can make a chinese verion?
thanks

No probs, I will once I have completed more code.
Im flattered you'd like to convert the language....I'll go one further(be extra helpful) and give you the blank AI files or BMP's for the Menu so you can edit them and right the chinese characters on them.
Please be patient once it is finished or at least close to finished I'll publish my FLA straight away. But once again remember me when the credit is due please.

Thank for your help

Hi Slither2006,
Your work looks great - it will be very nice to have something close to HTC Cube Launcher.
BTW, I was also thinking that Efrost's FTouchFlo Cab must be very complementory to your effort. I tested it today, and it works very well on my Hermes (Softbank X01HT Herm 200) - it is still running. If you need some help with testing on Hermes just le me know
Good Luck

Hi Marttin,
Thanks for the props! Yeah I will do my best to get at least the buttons finished as soon as possible. The contacts page will be the most challenging as I want to make a easy way to add and remove contacts with as little stylus action as possible.
You're absolutely right about efrosts TouchFlo efforts working on the Hermes and I agree that it could complement it very well!
I'll PM efrost later down the track once I have something decent to offer and see if we can assign the UpSlide motion to my flash app. I was also thinking the left and right slideMotion from the home screen could be assigned to different pages on the cube and open them accordingly....the latter could be tricky tho.

Greate effort
I hope it will work on Himalaya, only Byka cube worked
Best Regards

here are all the original Cube images for rotation 34 images total, hopefully it will save you time and you can start with buttons functionality

More HTC Touch Dialpad Skins

I say neonstorm's post the other day where he replaced the HTC images in the /windows directory to make new skins. His skins are nice and worth checking out. The weren't exactly what I wanted though.
So... I figured I could do the same thing. Below are a few as examples. I have the WM themes that goes with each one except for the grass if anyone is interested. I thought I would offer to make a few custom skins for people if you are interested. The themes support both portrait and landscape modes. They are QVGA only though.
To Install:
Unzip all images (png) to your /windows directory. They will overwrite the existing HTC Touch Dialpad images. (I have included these below in case you want to revert back) Next, reboot your phone, or disable it off (airplane mode) and end the cprog.exe program. Re-enable the phone and you should be good.
To Request:
If you like this style and would enjoy having a custom skin just ask. I will need an image or both the portrait and landscape modes. If you would rather, just put up the .tsk file you are using for your theme and I can extract them. Depending on the response I will try to get them done within a day or so.
There have been a few other designers step up and help with requests. Most of these start around page 17. If interested check them out! There is a little more information in this post.
Well, I am not a programmer so this is about all I can currently do to give back to this community, at least for now. Let me know what you think! I hope you enjoy!

nice job!
Wonder if it's possible for these types of dialers to make the buttons transparent, that way, you can just change the dialer background and easily change the dialer theme.
Also, this can work with sprint HTC Touch, but you need indialer_accu_p.png and indialer_accu_l.png which you can make from copying the number bar from the main screen dialer.

Thank you for your great contribution, you are such an artist.
I want to ask for help in creating a new skin for dutty dialpad (forgot what it's called), I found it in hermes or kaiser thread.
Here are the pictures of this dialpad:
And this is the cab file:

I want to turn it into blue one, like O2 defaullt theme, or may be Vista theme,to fit with Poorlyduck's vista suit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=350011
Thanks in advanced!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ok i have a problem. I extracted the files into my windows directory and when i reboot there are no numbers on the dialpad. just the background. Also the jigsaw zip is actually the grass one.

hi there... can you confirm that this dialer works? because i've tried this kind of dialer and have an auto call problem.. like when you wake your device, it makes a phone call to your last call history number..

Sorry about that. The first post now has the correct jigsaw.zip. As for you number issue? I have not seen this before. Check in you /windows directory and make sure the NmBtn0up_port.png and NmBtn0dn_port.png and the like are there and correct. This is just an image substitution so not much that can go wrong.

Original Touch Dialer Images...
Sorry this didn't get into the first post. Here are the original HTC Touch Dialpad images that are replaced with this theme.

Would be nice...

That was my original intent in making this skin. Just make the buttons transparent and then change one or two images to change the whole thing. I originally tried this, but the dialpad doesn't use pngs with transparent alpha layers. (or something like that) I will used the odd purple for complete transparent areas, but the blended areas didn't display correctly.
I am not an expert in this area though, so if I did something wrong and someone knows the correct way to get partial transparency, I will be glad to post up a generic version. As it is, I did the next best thing for me. Scripted up the slice and dice routine in Script-fu (gimp). Now all I have to do is change the back ground and push a button. Almost as easy.
Glad you like it!

Purple for jeffreynew23
Here you go jeffreynew23! If she wants a different background just let me know what it is. I had some free time and thought I would at least throw one together for you quick. Hope she likes it!

These are great. I like the font on the number pad much better than the techy looking default one. Thanks for sharing!

Thank You!!!!

Excellent work
PhilD41 great work. One of the reasons I haven't been using the touch dialer is that it is so ugly. I just stuck the the WM6 one. If I could get the dialer to look like the rest of my theme I would be well pleased.
I am using the theme attached. But I have a feeling that the dark color will make the names in the smart dial list impossible to read. Have a look and let me know if its possible.
Thanks in advance.

I will try to find some time tonight to play with it. I am currently using a fairly dark theme which is still readable. It isn't black though. If nothing else, it is just graphics so I could always lighten up the smartdial area instead of darken it. Hopefully I will have a screen shot for you this evening or tomorrow and see what you think.

Water and Fire Dialpad
Hey maccaberry!!
I think it turned out quite nice!! The dialpad is attached below. I have included a screenshot from my phone below. I have also included a tweaked .tsk file. I make a small change so the top and bottom bars are darker black. You can see the difference in the image below (right two images).
Let me know what you think. If I have time, I might make a PocketCM theme to go with it and add it to my pShades collection.

WaterandFire
PhilD,
Man you are good. This looks fantastic. I am not sure what your pShades is, but I will have to check it out now that I have seen your work.
Thanks so much for your efforts. I have tried to put back into the forums by answering lots of n00b questions so that the developers have time to develop instead of answering questions. But what you have done here is a great way to contribute too.
Thanks so much!
maccaberry

You are very welcome! I am glad you like it. Graphics work has always been a hobby of mine and theming seems a good way to put it to use. With my wife and 18 month old son our of town for a few weeks I have had some time to play.

- Landscape mode support.
- Truetype support.
- Page changing almost automatic (after first load ofcourse...).
- Experimental support for flash plugins (need to be configured through TXT files) Thanks TWolf!!

I'm working on a tutorial on how to develop a 3rd party plugin using .NET. It's really eassy (as eassy as extending a control). If anyone is interested here you have my little hello world example ;-).

Is really eassy to fit any .NETCF development inside throttle .

Hello,
if you would like to uninstall the applications, then deactivate first the today plugin,then do a SOFTRESET, then do the uninstallation via Settigs/System/Remove Programs.
I made the experience, that this works to 100%.
I thought this could help the one or the other.

- Weather problem (solved by using this patch: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2480618&postcount=979 Thanks cesc!!)
- On some devices contacts 3d mode is slow or may not work. Use plain mode instead.
- Flash may be slow on some devices and may drain battery faster. Understand flash implies very intensive CPU usage.

it looks promised but can you give some quick informations about which windows it's compatable with and i think it needs at least Net fwork 3.5
thanks for your great work
cheers

Just tried it on my Blue Angel WM6.1
Runs a little slow, seems quite buggy too graphics wise, but a great idea and once refined could become very nice indeed!
Great work!

Coolest app around
I will upload my setup when I get my stupid 19701 build rom working properly

looks great! but, i cant get the default setup cab to install, just keeps telling me install unsuccesful. i tried soft resetting and installing again, to no avail. the actual program itself installed fine. also tried the exe setup and get the file is corrupted error.
nevermind. right clicked then saved target, now file size is right. thanks again for the great app.

Hi Haam!
I've updated first post with the info. It's WM6 and WM5 compatible and I've developed it using VS 2005 so must be compatible with NET.CF 2....

Hi!
Sorry for the bug you may have found... May I ask what kind of bugs are you experimenting? Theorically it must work quite fast on a 400 Mhz CPU like your's. I've tested it on my Herald and works quite fluent.

Thanx great app

Hi again,
I tried running it again when I got home from work.
The glitch is now gone. What happened was the wallpaper of my today screen turned grey and stayed grey until I did a soft-reset. Also the keyboard icon at the bottom of the screen kept showing up on top of the Throttlelauncher icons.
One thing I notice is that when scrolling the bottom icons, there is a freeze when the second hand moves on the clock.
Also, I tried adding a contact...it seemed to work fine. I tried adding another...then it stopped responding...the new contact didnt appear. I could still scroll the bottom icons, but selecting any of them didn nothing, it didnt respond. I had to soft reset.

Hi!
Thanks for the quick answer!
Are you using the main app (ThrottleLauncher) or the today plugin (ThrottleToday today screen plugin)?

Looks good
One suggestion tho, when you scroll the bottom icons, the background turns black, can't it be transparent?

Hi!!
You can try making it transparent by two methods (both experimental) but probably it will be too much for a 195 Mhz processor... It's is for my Herald (overclocking to 273 make faketransparency look near smooth). If you wanna try it, access the setup config dialog (Through ThrottleConfig app) and go to experimental tab. There set to true even truetransparency (the slowest option) or fake transparency, click save, exit and then click the reload button.
Thanks!!

good program and it will be a great program once the speed and the bugs get worked out.
I can't wait for the next release.

edit: BTW, wich device are you using (to try to figure out the speed thing).
Thanks!!

I installed it, but I kept on getting errors while trying to run it. Now I cannot uninstall it (via "Remove Programs"). How do you manually remove it? Thanks!

Most of my errors were due to Certifications, but I changed the rom yesterday night and all that went away. I did what the post said, but no luck. I think that the problem was that I tried to manually uninstall it before I read your post, and I erased the other reg key as well as the program folder before erasing the one in "Security". For future reference (at least for me), order does matter Aw well, i guess it is back to re-flashing for me. Thanks for your help though

Thanks for the screeny . I'll try to figure out a way to hide the tray bar....
About the touchflo 3D... I'm currently working on a new way of scrolling similar to the footer of touchflo 3d. I've it already working but I wan't to improve graphics before releasing. If you mean if you can make something similar to the weather animations and that stuff.... I'm sorry to say no.... Any way I can try to develop a setup close as possible to touchflo 3D.
Thanks!!

[30/05] UPDATED Minimal Flow for ThrottleLauncher

So here I am with my second customization thread.
After making my minimal dialer skin click I also found that the Touch Diamond interface for ThrottleLauncher was a bit too dark and playful for me.
So I decided to make a modification to make it all a bit lighter and more stylish. And something like 12 hours later, here I am!
Changed almost all graphics and a lot of settings to make it and app that suits me.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Updated version with weather:
How to install:
(1) Install ThrottleLauncher 0.9.1
(http://www.throttlelauncher.com)
1. Copy both files in the zip to your storage card.
2. Go to your ppc's explorer and install "Minimal Flow TL.cab".
The cab installs a the skin and a windows mobile theme to your ppc.
!!! (THIS MUST BE INSTALLED TO YOUR DEVICE) !!!
2.1 Open up the picture file Minimal Flow.jpg while still in explorer
and press Menu>Set as Today Background. Set to 0% and press ok.
3 Go to Start>Setting>Today and select ClassicBlack and press ok.
3.1 Go to the tab "Items" and deselect everything (ALSO THROTTLETODAY).
Something like Batterystatus can still be run but bus be placed under ThrottleToday
4 On your PPC go to: Start>Programs>ThrottleConfig and select Minimal Flow
from the drop-down box.
4.1 Press "reload plugin" and click exit.
5 ENJOY!
Download Minimal Flow Weather.zip for a lot more configuration and a weather tab!
-First install Mortschript, wich can be found here.
-Then install Minimal Flow V1.0 and after the installation also install the updated version, both to device.
-After installation select the "Minimal Flow Weather", press reload plugin and enjoy! The extended configuration can by pressing "Settings" on the settings tab.
Updated version of the weather version, no more error on load-up! thanks to APBilbo! thank you ^^
I put a lot of effort in making these kind of things, a little donation would make my day!
Donate
Credits go to APBilpo for his great app and my template! And for the Weather tab my credits go to alladdin for writing the mortscript.

ahh. very nice. very black. to my liking.
great job!

wow looks great!!!keep it up

Please read my questions (at least the first one) need you guys to help me with this.

Looks great so far, can't really come up with 4 letter words, but how about a seperate theme with gray pictures?

Yeah that was my idea too, just use a theme for WM with my background, the problem is that I dont know how to add my own picture to a .tsk

privacy issue, sorry

abjeroen said:
maybe you can use 'CALL' instead of people? it doesn't really cut it.. but it's ussually the next thing your doing after pressing that button, right.
(ik hoop dat je er ook gemiste sms / mail in zet )

Uhm, Call is a good idea, now only one for settings (damn, why is that so hard).
Sms wont do it, it's mail and text because I want to keep all icons with four letters.

note: I would prefer the 'count balloon' by messages to be above the text, instead of below.

Preview:
In my opnion that looks a lot better! ^.^
Anyway, I am stuck on a few things and I was hoping one of you could help me out.
HELP ME OVER HERE! xD
1. More of a simple question to brainstorm about.
There is a tab Contacts and a tab Settings, how do I have to make a 4 letter icon out of this? Contacts is now PEPL (people) and settings is now CONF (configuration). I don't like them very much so please help me come up with another one.
2. I don't want the background to be black and there are two options to achieve this.
First of all I could make a tsk that would have the my own background. The problem with this is that if I make one in ThemegenCE, it would go from flat black bars to the glossy grey ones.
Secondly, someone could explain me how to modify the config.xml from throttle launcher so it would load it up with the theme and cover up the original background. The problem with this solution is that I don't know wich line to add. (the parameter=texture gave me problems because it said the skin.xml was invalid?) I think the tsk option is the best so that people could still use their own backgrounds.
Anyway, atm I am working on replacing all icons wich is 40% done or so.

1. CNFG? PEEP? PPLE? hmmm, i see where the problem is...this is kind of hard. CONF sound really good.
Could you use icons instead of text maybe?

I mean change the 4 letter words to little grey silhouettes or simple images.
As for implementing your background in a .tsk, you need a theme editor program... I used one before but can't think of what its called. Or you could just supply us with the jpg and we can set it as our wallpaper. BTW This looks really sweet, about how long untill it's done?

Ok, I think I will release the wall seperate. Unless someone comes with a solution.
I wont change the text to icons because this just looks stylish
The icons for the settings are complete. Some other things to do but first I need to get me some sleep. Tomorrow I think I will finish it.
Good night.

ADDY or ADDR for contacts.
setting is also a nest of eggs (old usage) but EGGS might confuse too much.
I like simple CONF

What does ADDY stand for? never heard of it. Anyway I think CALL and CONF are ok for now. Maybe I'll have a dream with inspiration.
Good night.

just release a background and people can use the allblack tsk floating around and apply the picture you provide as a background through pics and video with 0% transparency, works fine

privacy issue, sorry

PREF would also do it. Though I'm used to CONF by now and realy like it. I hope I'm done with skinning in about an hour and then only alingment etc.

Looks awesome!!! . Really nice work, I look forward testing it . About your questions:
1) For people.... may be something like "PALS"? And for settings...."TUNE"... Anyway I think that CONF is just right .
2) As I see you have done lot of working with the setup I suppose you already know the tutorial. It's true that it's a little bit unupdated.... So, here's how everything is organiced:
- 1rst layer: the background of the today screen back. Will be shown only if the transparency is set to true on the skins.
- 2nd layer: rowbackimage (this one is not documented...). Here you have an example:
Code:
<param name="rowbackimage" value="rowback.png"/>
What it will do is wrap the image to the row size behind it. This image can be a transparent png to show the 1rst layer.
Hope this helps!! If you still have doubts, let me know!!
- 3rd layer: icons .

Ok thanks al lot!
I managed to get a different BG in the programs tab, by editing the skin.xml in skins/programs. But what if I want to add a BG to e.g. the HOME tab? The settings for the home tab are all in the config.xml and when I add
Code:
<param name="rowbackimage" value="rowback.png"/>
to it, it wont load it up. Is this because the home tab is cut up into different rows?
If you could explain me how to add a ackground into the main config.xml file I would appreciate that alot.

I have the D2 sensor intalled so do I still need flip it?

Nothing new here or am I missing something Averma?
Bepe's excellent Gnes.dll and Alphazeros and swtos equally excellent FlipIt front end for it have been around for nearly six months now. I even did a tut for it way back then.
How to Make FlipIt (GNES mod) and LandscapeManila work
I do think Flip_IT_by_WildBerry_Team.cab has been under reported and is one of the most useful rotation utilities around for the diamond. Many of the recent Roms already have landscape manila included and sdkcerts disabled.
So for any users who are after simply wanting Landscape manila I would recommend simply adding FlipIt first. You might find that is all you need to do if you are already running a recent cooked ROM. This has been the case with pretty well all the ROMs I have used in the past few months. If you are using a stock ROM on the other hand you may need to follow the three steps mentioned by averma because the landscape manila will probably be missing.
Now that a fair bit of water has gone under the bridge I wonder if we can persuade the Wildberry guys with Bepes approval to do a tiny bit more work on FlipIt. A better icon maybe and one or two other minor tweaks.

you can try installing everything but Flip it and see if it works, if not as far as i know Flip it is different from other Gsensor apps because it doesn't actually landscape the phone, it instead emulates the touchpro's keyboard sliding out (causing the screen to landscape)
remember to post your experience, if it worked, and if any errors anywhere incase i need to update

I just tried, CANNOT use without flip it and only with gryator 2.
i just wonder is that a Music tab available for the landscape mode? maybe need to wait for the one from touchpro2 ...
Very good! this is exactly what I want! many thanks!

Ya I'm putting this up for anyone using a stock or cooked rom without Landscape support. I realize this has been around for some time now but it was fairly hard to find.
The main reason I'm doing this as well is the files floating around became so dated, the old files for this are just painfully slow, and most people have to either resort to that or do it themselves, also this doesn't void warranty (as its just a cab files = no Hard SPL required)
This version is built off of the latest official TouchPRO rom I could find. I'm running an older 2.0 I cooked myself because i like the reliability and stability of it But because these are pulled from a 2.03 equivalent touchpro rom I noticed a massive speedbost in scrolling and just overall better performance (not to mention landscape ).
Basically what i'm saying is this will be useful for people who don't SPL or people who are running a slower version of manila (or whoever wants it)
Also... THEEEEMEESSSS !!! lol

Fair enough. The Slide White Theme looks nice by the way. Might try start a dedicated FlipIt thread as well, because like you say - it is hard to find and it probably warrants one given how useful it is.

the FLIT_IT is actually different from G-config/Diamond2 Gsensor & Gyrator 2! Only Flip_it work with the touchPRO landscape manila & the landscape incoming call.
Is it because it emulate KEYBOARD OUT as well?
The only problem of FLIP_IT is that I cannot toggle / turn it off temporary ....

CDMA Touch diamond landscape
It works great on the cdma version of the touch diamond. Flip it is required for it to work, i think flip is a great program to use for screen rotation for the touch diamond....

Is it possible to use this landscape mode instead of the default one in the Rhodium manila vga port?

This is really cute and all but I was wondering if this is available for the Sprint HTC Touch Pro and also if it's possible for me to keep my Sprint theme ('cause I really think it's cute with all of the neon colors the Sprint theme has [This theme is cute too but black and white would make my phone look utterly dull]) but still have TouchFlo 3D enabled on my device?
Oh and does anyone know how to activate landscape mode on messages?
It's pretty stupid how the on-screen keyboard is enabled when you pull out the keyboard.
Thanks

This should be able to install on any diamond/pro (Justin41689 confirmed working on CDMA)
the theme would probably have to be reinstalled, i think its available here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=489531
as for your landscape keyboard problem you can try the attached PQzII cab. (can't remember where i got it) but it enables a different SIP on portrait and a different SIP on landscape.
you could probably set your regular keyboard for portrait, and a null keyboard for landscape > solving your popup keyboard problem
Also you probably won't need flip it if your using the keyboard to rotate the screen. but it you want autorotate with G-sensor then it is required

Averma, how can I buy you a beer/coffee/donate whatever??!! You just fixed the annoying problem I have had with my Fuze since upgrading the stock ROM to the new HTC ROM! Landscape icons were white blocks and would freeze like that when you went back to portrait. Did your install, reinstalled themes and BANG! Perfectly working Fuze (although that's a bit of an oxymoron).
Thanks!
