Nope, I tried it (all versions) and it won't even install - I get the "the program doesn't have sufficient system permissions" error message. Maybe someone will modify this app for the polaris - it seems like it would be useful since HHC doesn't customize the cube and this does.

I'm another Polaris user (well, it's on pre-order at the moment). This 'Touch Settings' program sounds like exactly what I was hoping to be able to use.

Is there any chance the program can be adapted to work on the Polaris? Can anyone hazard a guess from psargent's "the program doesn't have sufficient system permissions" when installing error message as to what the problem might be since I realise that it isn't reasonable to expect people like the author of this program to have every device at their disposal but if possible fixes can be suggested then maybe it can be fixed "blind"? I for one would be more than happy to validate any possible fixed version on a real device.

Mine is on pre-order as well, and I would love to see this....

PoorlyDuck has some inspiring skins, and then there is this post, on a different site, that changes the cube to six sided.

Here is Poorlyducks post,

page 23 has the skins....

and here is the six sided cube, but only on a sprint touch i think.

Is the 'Touch Settings' program a posible alternative for changing which programs are called up by the Videos and the Music button within the cube or is it specific to the Elf?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=324556

I'd really like to use CorePlayer for Videos, etc.

Thanks in advance for the help.

I have posted a few different times to Carlos in the "Elf" forum regarding this topic. Unfortunately he has not responded. It would be nice to use this program versus making the neccessary adjustments to the registry manually. Just a note that permissions error I also received when trying to load to my Touch.

This would be great on the TC. I have found a few registry settings that look easy to change (for the 6 icon side), but a complete program would be better. It would be nice to have the media hub customized as well.

Sorry to hijack the thread but can you point me to the registry change to get the 6 sided cube?

Hi all,

I´ve got a German Orbit 2 aka TC and as far as I can see it doesen´t work. After installing all necessary files manually (due to rights-limitations) I can start the programm, but it doesen´t recognize my MediaMinihub. I can change the Phoo/Video/Music cube-side, but that´s it.
Maybe its because I got a German ROM...?

sorry for that.

Does anyone know what/where the registry settings are to point the HTC album to the storage card?

Hi, I'm the author of Touch Settings and I would be very happy to work with the community to get it working on the Polaris.

The CAB install error you're getting is v interesting. Steps to take to try and cure this problem are:

1. The device may be app locked, you need to download a program called Device Security Manager, then with your Polaris connected to Activesync, disable all the security:
Look at this web page (http://blogs.msdn.com/windowsmobile/archive/2007/05/30/all-about-application-locked.aspx) for more info.

2. Also, try installing the sdcerts if possible (again, see above web page)

3. Check Free Storage memory; lack of this can cause the problem.

Please can somebody try all the above with the NEW VERSION 2.22 OF TOUCH SETTINGS (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=324556&goto=newpost)

If it doesn't work, I will upload a ZIP file of the individual files and we can try a manual installation.

Best

PS: I don't know an awful lot about security certs and device provisioning, so if any other developers can point me to a way of making the CAB install on the Polaris, please do.

Hi, I'm the author of Touch Settings and I would be very happy to work with the community to get it working on the Polaris.

The CAB install error you're getting is v interesting. Things to check first:

- Is the device app locked in some way: are the security certificates restrictive?
Look at THIS WEB PAGE: http://blogs.msdn.com/windowsmobile/archive/2007/05/30/all-about-application-locked.aspx
...download the Device Security Manager, dock your Polaris and disable all the security.

- Install the sdcerts if possible (again, see above web page)

- Check Free Storage memory; lack of this can cause the problem.

Hi carlos,

thx for your quick reply. It works like a charm now. I need now some "stylish" icons for my selected apps, but thats another problem.

Thx anyway for your great application.

Sorry to hear you've had problems. If you hard reset your device, your cube should revert to normal. If you are unwilling to hard reset your device, then if somebody could post a registry dump from a Polaris (clean, hard reset device) then I can post a fix CAB for you!

Thanks Carlos, the 2.22pre version works very nice on my Couise.

I have only question:
If I try to change APLauncher layout I get a mesage "It seems that your HTC Touch Software is not recent....", but I can change the apps grid. What the message exactly means? There is any newer HTC Touch Cube version than what is on Cruise installed?
Tnx

What is the "pre-version" 2.22? Im out of town so I cannot try yet..Is that version still expired?

GREAT to hear! Thank you.

Hmm. ...very interesting. Well, I don't have a Cruise/Polaris, so I don't know!

Could somebody please please send me a registry dump? And, if possible, the files Biotouch.exe, Mediahubmini.exe, APLauncher.exe and QDialer.exe from \Windows\ on the device.

Hi teride

No, there is a new build now that does not expire, we're up to v2.24. You can download from www.fatattitude.com/software. Let me know if it works for you!

psargent, did you have any luck installing the CAB in the end? I posted some suggestions about using Device Security Manager a few posts back.

If not, I have just uploaded a new 'Manual Installation' for v2.24 which should enable you to get Touch Settings working on your device.

Best wishes,

Carlos

Thanks, Carlos! I used manual installation of v2.25 and it is working well. I didn't try the .cab, so I'm not sure it works on Polaris or not.

Thanks again for your attention and hard work!

TIA!

I did (2.25). Works like a charm. I only had cert.cab installed before. I suspect that is the reason while it did not work well for some.

I loaded & get some System.InvalidCastException: InvalidCast exception:formatException, etc. then it says it's going into "Debug Mode & a log file will be created. How do I upload the log file? Plus my cube animation doesn't work...now it just slides vs the 3d......I should have done a backup before uploading....dang...

Did you terminiate mediahub prior to the install?

I wonder if it's a 3rd party software conflict...I get the error messages described in post #25. I just loaded the cab & installed. I had to restore to a previous backup to get my 3d cube back. I also tried to change the "pictures" to Resco on my storage card & it still picked up the old HTC link even after a soft reset.

Could be. I also didn't delete the mediahub either. I just installed and ran the cab...installed it to the phone memory. I also changed the debug mode to fasle.

How did you change debug mode to false?

Go to the advanced tab and type in "false" under debug mode.

I faced the same broken-animation problem after playing with the anim tab...
Here is the REG file to fix the Cube back to normal (french titles can be edited)
Worked like a charm for me, and way faster than hard reset !

I think I saw a disable cube cab somewhere in this section, you can then try using the C++ cube in the development and hacking section that is customizable.

Of course you would need fTouchFlo and Touchflo Config to change the gestures, i dont know if that works on cruise though.

tigerpower

Hi carlos and all the others.

I have a french version of the touch cruise and I can't make the touch settings work correctly.

I have the version 2.2 and everything seems to work well.

I can choose the icons I want for the App Launcher and the preview works good. I can even generate the anim and the preview works good.

but when I rest the PPC and try to use the cube all the icons I added return into black boxes and there is no anim anymore...
I tried with brn pics and with png pics but nothing works...

Any help from any one would be great.

Thanks to all.

Try editing it, the old-timer way... manually ;)
Maybe there are some differences in the registry paths, entries, due to the language of the ROM, thus causing all kinds of errors...

Is there a way to reset all the settings to default? When I go to the about screen the reset defaults button is greyed out. If not can someone tell me what the default is for sms/mms in the cube? I tried to find it, but I am not having any luck.

Thanks!
