Touch Settings (development ceased) v.2.2 - Change EVERYTHING on your cube!

[carlosp_uk]

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.


Feedback always welcome, remember this is a beta, so back up your files, and if you found it useful, do consider buying me a beer!
