Which Cube is best for Kaiser,

Hello
I tried to find suitable Cube application for my HTC Kasier(genui from HTC)
Please advice me which one is the best for not advanced users...I mean way of configuration needed after instalation?
regards

I'm going to be really annoying here:
Search the forum.
Not only are there numerous posts about the various cubes, there is even a wiki.
Perhaps we can close this thread now.

There is something to know about the cube applications : they do slow down your device.
Each time you will press the screen, it will slow down the running application, because the cube application will interract to know if by pressing the screen you try to access to the cube application ...
I discovered that by using a paint application. When I was drawing pictures, it was very very slow. I deinstalled the cube application, and then I could draw pictures with no problems...
So you should think twice before installing these apps !

The only animated today plug-in I've liked so far is Ultimate Launch - but I guess that's not a true cube. I know Dutty's buddys seem to love his implementation of the cube. Why don't you check that out?

Also you should try dutty's vista suite, the cube and touchflo are integrated there, no need for configuration and works really well and stable. Although, it doesn't have four pages or fancy animations as in others.

May I know... UL and Touch3D

I would like to ask if anyone has used Ultimate Launch (UL) before and can he/she try activating Touch3D as one of the Plugin in UL?? I can do so for the TouchFlo Home plugin.
If this is workable, then I believe we can have Touch3D as only ONE of the many plugin while UL can also have plugin for SPB Diary, (SPB Shell 2.0?), SPB pocket+, PocketBreeze and PhoneAlarm.. etc. That will be awesome, ya?!
Please, can some kind soul test out UL on Diamond?

Hmm.. from my experience with my diamond, if you turn on the touchflo today plugin then it immediately turns off all other today plugins so there are no conflicts.
I don't think it's possible to make this work with other today plugins - it's either all or nothing.

I tried this yesterday and it just don't work. U can not use TouchFlo3D as a tabbed part of UL.....

Ok..
How about other programmes that support plugin, e.g. Pocket Breeze, SPB mobile shell 2, etc, or WAD3?
Anyone?

no because you can use either the touch flo 3d OR other today-plugins. not both.

Adding HTC Cube to Diamond ?

I'm about fed up with TouchFlo 3D, nice but pretty useless and I REALLY miss the Cube from my Touch Dual, much more convenient and doens't waste CPU cycles, so...has anyone installed it on the Diamond ?
Found a few existing CUBE topics, but not sure if there might not be interference and if a VGA skin is needed.

Ok had to hard reset...
Was hopeful after a post by SecureGSM :
"HKLM\Software\OEM\TFLOSettings:
also, there is one that is suppose to enable cube finctionality there:
EnableCube : default value (0) <--change that to (1)"
But not working for me.

Its not so simple as switching cube on. Cube is simply not there in our Diamond. If u try to install this Cube configurator from the Elf thread, u'll see a multitude of errors, missing files, etc. Cube may be functional here, but we'll be needing all those files

Yes, that sucks, the CUBE is x times more useful than TouchFlo 3D IMHO.
There must be a way though because it was added to non touch devices.

i dun think we'll have to descend to the non touch method, they use flash. i'm sure if we can get the Touch Cruise for example, and get their files, and put it in, it should work? i think

Catching up, I also thought this would do it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=348437 but so far no luck either.

bump - hope someone can figure it out ;-)

Another bump, that would be such a useful addition, I'm sure the bright minds around here can figure how to add the Cube back ;-)

have u tried Touch Commander?

Not sure, got a link ? I tried the tools linked in the first message and no go, had to hard reset.

I know a guy who might be very good at this ... Duttie or something like that
Unfortunatly, he is not around (yet)

Sounds good, hope he joins us soon !

Have you considered something like this:

There are a couple of other similar GUIs out there and the good thing about them that they all VGA optimized.

and it's variation by GSmart

Thanks, but what I like about the cube is up and down the gesture to bring the contact list and then left to right for the various tools. The Contact list would be enough actually.

bumping it up ;-)

Any news guys ? I was so happy with my Touch Cruise but bought the Diamond for the 640x480 screen and faster video playback.
The TouchFlow 3D looks fine but it's very useless to me, The old TouchFlo Cube from the cruise could be swept away and you had your normal windows todayscreen.
I tried the Cube thing SPD Mobile Shell but the old originall CUBE is way better I think.
Any solutions ?

Bump!!! I Want The Cube!!!!!!

same here, in fact I want it so much I've stuck with the HTC Touch Dual, aka Nike !

TouchFlo

Hello, i have bought my htc diamond yesterday, and i don't have the new interface with touchflo 3d. I have the old classic menu on windows mobile! In the menu, at settings-today-items i can't find touchflo, but i have the application, in settings menu ( as application).. help me, how can i activate touch flo

I can't understand why TouchFlo isn't already selected, but if it is indeed installed on your device, you activate it by...
Start...
Settings...
Personal tab...
Today...
Items tab...
Tick "TouchFlo 3D" and remove all other ticks
This should do the trick. If TouchFlo isn't showing in the "Items" list, then your device doesn't have it installed...

Oh Dear!
My friend called me up the other day with exactly the same issue. He had seen videos on youtube demonstrating the touchflo3d running and he realy liked the look of the way you could flick through contacts and messages.
He rushed down to the local tmobile store and demanded his diamond (compact iv)
He rushed home, unpacked the phone and was greeted with windows 6.1 standard screens throughout.
THE TMOBILE STAFF SOLD HIM THE MDA TOUCH!! (HTC VOGUE) nOT THE DIAMOND! They heard key words and thought of commission
Worse still, he opened the box and could not return the phone!
Honestly i doubt that this has happend to you, just thought it was a relevant funny story. Pretty sure one of the helpfull guys on here will provide you the assistance you need swiftly!

^^^Ouch... I would've flipped out.

don't know if there's a cab for that, you should search this forum and find out.
if not, learn how to flash another rom and problem solved

I have the HTC DIAMOND, not the htc vogue, LOL
I can't find the TouchFlo 3D in the items list. Should i flash my diamond? How can i do this? Thank you very much

Manila TouchFlo 3.8

At this forum there was a cab file including touchflo 3.x or 3.8. Try to search for it.

Alternative to touchFlo 3d

Does anyone know of an alternative to TouchFlo 3D. I spoke to an HTC technician who told me that he uses a better program for his Diamond that has better response times etc, but he wouldn't say what it was. I was complaining about the response times on the phone.

He probably meant PointUI, SPB Mobile Shell, Winterface or any number of alternatives. Been trying SPB Mobile Shell 3 which is pretty good (there's a free trial) but my fav so far is PointUI (free "light" version) - http://www.pointui.com
There are also a couple of iPhone clone interfaces in the Development and Hacking section.

Thanks a lot for that echolock. I am just downloading the free Pointui to the phone. Do I have to disable TouchPro 3d before loading it or will it do that automatically. I am fairly new to the phone so please excuse my ignorance.

Yes, you have to disable TF3D before using PointUI.
After all, if you decide to keep PointUI instead of TF3D, you have to flash your phone with a naked Rom so you gain space and memory.

Do you know how to disable TF3D. My phone is an Orange branded one if that makes a difference. They use thier own ROM. I can't find a way to disable it anywhere. I have downloaded Pointui directly to the phone but I can't start the program. It isn't in programs. I have found it in my documents. Can you help.

Go to start-settings-today, under items, untick touchflo.

Thanks for that. TF3D is now disabled. Any idea how i load Pointui onto my phone now?

Download the program (which is a .CAB file) to your computer, then copy to the phone (storage card is best area)
Then, using FileExplorer, naviagte on the phone, to the location you saved it, and click on the program, it'll ask a few things, just click the left soft button.

Thanks for that. Installed it and works fine. It does seem beeter than the TF3D.

I use scott seligman's launcher on the standard windows today screen,it just add's program icon's to today screen,one tap open's any application,no sliding this thing here,flipping this there,scrolling up or down.
It's not finger friendly though,unless you have pointy little finger's,or usually use a stylus anyway,but it doesn't get much faster or less resource hungry than this simple app.

WAD from lakeridgesoftware.com is pretty incredible
let me know what you think
