Will 'Touch Settings' Program from Elf work for Polaris?

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.

yea im pretty sure it'll work. dont have a device though to make sure

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.

** Bump **

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....

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.

*Bump*
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?

Nope
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 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.

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)

Excellent Carlos....I was hoping you would take a look at this program for the Polaris!!

Thx
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.

well, on mine it really did not turn out that well....
The cube does not turn any more
all the icon show a black box

Please HELP!!!

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!

It works
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

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.

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!

From Hermes Forum - SettingsSavior v0.97 - Auto Cab Installs

With the WM 6.1 fever going so hot now, I thought it was a good time for me to share a useful utility by dny238 from Hermes forum.
He created SettingsSavior v0.97 which is a great application to help you do your tonnes of cab installation automatically. It's really automatically, one cab after the other. You even have a choice of doing silent install. What's even better, is that you can also backup some of your device information like user name, etc. using his application. The thread is as follows:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=308100
This is a great app! It's just the app to help us try more cooked roms without much of a hastle.
Grab it fast.

Have you tried on 6.1? I actally donated to this on my hermes. LOVE IT.
Not much success on Tytn II. The cabs install. Not all the settings saved and it keeps trying to install on every reset.
wish there was an update. I love this progy.

So what is the difference with TrierAutoInstall? Maybe a combination of both apps is a perfect match? Who can do this????

True about "it keeps trying to install on every reset" but I just select NO and when it pops up, I uncheck everything except the Install Cabs. After the last cab is installed, and at the next install, it doesn't prompt anymore.
I don't make use of the other features as I already have a personalization cab.
Yes, it works in WM 6.1.

They both install cabs. But that is all Trier does. If that is all you need than it is great.
Setting Savior saves email settings connection settings and many more as well as cabs.

It sounds like you need the MP3 Trimmer program. There is a post in this section that has the cab file for it. Try searching for "MP3 trimmer"...

ok thx
this stupid little thing get me crazy ^^ i was searching this functionality for 2 days ^^

mmh seems there is a problem
i've took the cab, installed it
but when i press the icon on the programs tab, nothing happens. the screen go blanck for a second and then i'm back on the program tab
edit: tried the QvGA version found on a topic in diamond section
work fine but since its qvga it's not usable
the vga version i've found in the raphael forum don't work

tried 3 other cabs in the xda forums and none working on my touch pro
is it beacause it's in french?
if yes, does anybody got a cab working on the french touch pro ?

What ROM do you use? Some cooked ROM or the original stock ROM?

the original french (orange) rom
i'll flash the rom in some month when i'll get ride off the original rom ^^

In this case I think you probably already have the MP3Trimmer installed. As far as I know it comes pre-installed on all stock ROMs.

i was thiking this too
but i can't find it in the program list

You might need the latest version of .NET CF. You can download it here: http://www.4shared.com/file/37978142/c1e9d030/Microsoft_NET_CF_35.html

already installed.
i think i'll hard reset my phone
i've installed lot of application to test, perhaps one of them brick the mp3 trimmer?
i've found a mp3 trimmer .exe in the windows folder, does not work neither.
btw i've found some program in the window folder that are not in the program list
(such as taskmanager)

Maybe just the shortcut is gone. please check if you have a file called "MP3Trimmer.exe" in your windows folder to make sure.
HTH

yes i have it but it had the same bug
when i try to lauch it, i can see "mp3 trimmer" on the top on the screen and then it shut off

That sounds bad. Probably some DLL file is missing or something. I'm sorry but I'm out of ideas (except for a hard reset at least).

ok time to hard reset!
i'll post the result in 10 minuts! (time to reinstall all application GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR)

after the hard reset no more mp3 trimmer.exe in the windows folder
seem that in the orange stock rom this application is not installed and when you install it you can't run it
very strange coz the QVGA version work fine

I wish you luck, hopefully it's worth it! If not you should consider a ROM change. I would suggest ROMeOS v1.40 - it's also available in french.

yep i'll change the rom perhaps
but before i have to dump my rom in case of i brick the phone
but not enough time to flash it now ^^
i think i'll flash it in few days ^^ +

For those who don't run a Rom that already includes the e-reader tab

Thank you man

cheers !

More thanks, work prefectly in Artemis Rom -sternas...

Sadly, I don't have a ROM with Document Reader; I'm on a stock dutch 1.66.
Any chance of a version that works without it? Just the application would be fine without the tab...

Thanks, but that version and Mr. X's version don't work on my HD2 either.
It must need something else that isn't on my dutch ROM...

Thanx for this, works great

Unfortunately Sense cannot start when using this on my HD2 running NRG rom.

Hi guys,
I installed this and it works great! The only problem is, how I delete books I don't want? I've tried deleting from both the Reader/Books folder and also via the ereader interface. Both times the books still remained when I navigate to the ereader tab in sense?! Any suggestions or am I doing something wrong?
Thanks in advance

My ROM doesn't have the Document reader .
Tried Mr X's CAB, doesn't work properly, I can launch the Book library viewer from the installed directory which shows a bunch books which don't open, which I presume is because the books aren't actually an the phone lol.
There are a couple of other excutables as well, one is the reader I think but that just states it's not a pocket pc app or something like that and the other just keeps trying to access something and fails?!?!?! (sorry for being vague - just recalling it from memory, as uninstalled the CAB now).
Have no idea how to add books (or where to put them) but was able to delete the thumbnails which were already there.
Obviously the production of a working Ereader CAB is getting closer, I guess I'll just have to be patient.

Not sure why but this works fine on my ROM until my exchange server does its encryption thing then I get a tab but when i go to it its blank with no options

hi, I'm a little bit confused about compatibility... does this e-reader tab work on Artemis 9.0 Ita ( WM 6.5.5 - Manila 2.5.2012 (Leo 2.10))?

Is this supposed to work on TM-US version of HD2? It seems to work but whenever I do a soft-reset I get an error telling me services.exe has crashed.

Great program.
I have been using it and it is on par with FotMob.
Gui is better in FotMob, but this one is Free.
​

For the German Members: Resco WM Mobil 2010 is the BEST app you can think of for following the world cup, teams, games, stats, news and much more. To say it shortly --> Functionality and UI is really superior and well worth its price !!! At the moment you can get it for a discount price of 6,95 Euro (instead of 10 Euro).
http://pocketland.de/30350/WM_Mobil_2010.html

Yes I remember Resco having the same app for 2006 World Cup...I wonder where the English version is though...

Yea, english version is a must please. there must be one. is it not possible to change the german version in to english. im a bit of a noob so dnt no the practicalities of this. but pleeeeease there must be a english version or another good app sumwer. ITS THE WORLD CUP!! easily the biggest competition ever!

@ elburna ref: wm mobil 2010
thanks for the hint (oder danke fuer den tip ???).
definitely worth the money and runs perfectly well on my Leo.
now i'm all set and ready to go. SA here we come !!!
cons: you not only have to speak german, you also gotta be favouring the german team for the tournament, as you apparently cannot switch your favourite from germany to any other team ...

It says on the site that you need Microsoft .Net Compact Framework 3.5 installed prior to installing the app. My rom (Elegencia) had this cooked in so I just installed the cab and it just ran!

Hi, i cannot download from this link. http://www.mobilepractices.com/ for some reason when i try to download the app it just takes me to a web page with all jumbled up writing i can't understand. Can anyone supply the cab file from here? Its free after all.
Got it working, downloaded it using internet explorer. I really like the UI in this i think it is amazing. only thing i dnt like is that to scroll left or right you have to drag from the top of the screen, and on the HTC HD2 this isnt so easy. maybe for future apps this could address by making a small bar at the bottom to scroll with perhaps. not sure really. otherwise the app is amazing. Wont know if the app works completely untill the compitition starts and updates start to come in.
CHEERS!

On my Hd2 is not working and I have .NET CF3.5 installed.

I downloaded direct to my HD2 and it is working (and updating) without problem. Excellent looking app with a great UI. Hope the developer keeps it updated after each match.
When I get home and get the cab off the phone, I will upload here if it is still needed. Cab file attached
