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?

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.

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!

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

Samsung SGH-i780 and CorePlayer - incompatible?

Is someone having CorePlayer 1.2.0 running without problems on the Samsung i780?
After installing the latest CorePlayer 1.2.0, I can run and use the software, but when I have closed it (exit) I can never start CorePlayer again.
For a second there’s the ‘CorePlayer’ title in the top Windows Mobile bar, but then the program just closes directly after that. Uninstalling and reinstalling CorePlayer, a soft reset and even a hard reset didn’t do the job.
Has this something to do with the new 320 x 320 screen resolution of the Samsung SGH-i780 or is it something else? I couldn’t find any information regarding this issue (or same experiences of other users) on the internet.
Thanks!!

I doesn't manage to get it works too.

Hello, same here. There is no way (at the moment) to get this program working on i780...

That's a pity. And really strange, since CorePlayer DOES work properly the first time you run it (the first time after installation, that is).
It's just after that, that it won't execute....

this is great to read, just after I ordered one!!!

I found a solution somewhere but I don´t remember where I read it. But start Coreplayer as it works the first time. If you already had started it once and can´t start it again delete the config.xml located in \application data\coreplayer on your device and try to start it again.
Then go to tools - settings - advanced and remove the mark at support for WMP UI plugin. And after that it shall start everytime

Thanks for the solution.
In that case, avrcp function of coreplayer would not work. what a pitty. tcpmp is my favourate player due to its ease of use and powerful functions. coreplayer is even better because of its support of avrcp.
seems i780 is not using standard wm6 bt profile. it disconnects my itech clipradio all the time, but works fine with my new jabra bt3030. strange.
the built-in wmp is so stupid that it won't remember the directory i browsed last time and point to it the next time i start the application. that wastes me a lot of time. working with the media library is a bad experience also. Alternatively, is there any way to change the default directory of wmp? that would help me a lot before a new version of coreplayer supporting i780 is out.

coreplayer 1.2.5 supports i780 with avrcp working

I am using coreplayer 1.2.2, and have been for over six weeks - it worked straight out of the box and I have had no problems at all with the software.
this is using a UK Orange ROM which has not been upgraded or flashed in any way.
I've have installed and using realVGA - perhaps this is what is making the difference?

Haiz.....I face to same problem , can't use the core player ...to me , first run also can't...may impossible.after i click the icon , it just flick my screen then no more response ,who can help me ???

Hi Willy,
I suppose you got the links from the forum and they probably used linkbucks over there "and you just used copy and paste".
For some reason the PDAViet forum is not accesible anymore for guests and you have to sign up to access the forum "and therefore the links".
I used to access their forum even though all I was doing is going through the links and find "elfin" and download the rom "since I don't understand the language"
now it is impossible to do so so thanks again for sharing and I wonder why they want people to sign in to download from a rapidshare link "since they don't have an english part"

hi all
isn't the build number older than the v42 :
19960.1.2.2 for 42
20226.1.3.0 for 44
i've never known how to read build numbers, i can be wrong.. but i do think it already happened btwn v40 and v41

Just flashed to V44 (with 18MB PP), so far so good.
1 thing I noticed, the bottom bar covers a name when in (Contacts) application if you keep pressing 'down'
Not sure if it's because of 18MB PP, or the new ROM. It does seem to be faster than V41 PDAViet.

Try Dotfred's Task Manager (http://www.dotfred.net/TaskMgr.htm). It works for me. If you just want smartdial with no skin, see this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=394518.

What's the difference from PDAVIET 42B ROm???

Any annoying bugs found in this release?

I am trying this ROM right now. So far so good!
The only big issue is that PCM Keyboard's space bar does not work, which is still unresolved from previous versions of PDAViet. I installed Resco Keyboard Pro as an alternative.
ROM is hyper fast!

bug (maybe) A2DP
HI. im using this ROM for 1 day now. when streaming mp3 with A2DP, the winmediaplayer always stop itself after few minutes. not between songs, but in the middle of the song. if i press play then the song will continue for few mins then stop again. have no issue with previous ROM. anyone else try A2DP with this ROM ?

how can ı install this rom pls answer my question.waiting for your answers but noone answer is it to hard to tell how to install

Prepare to get flamed, because the answer is right there on the upgrading forum if you look at the top.

The ROM is working great on my Touch, no problem so far. The only annoying thing is the dialer, if I want to redial the last number the SEND button doesn't do anything, I need to get into the call history > select the last call and press call or send button, Anyway to fix this?

Reinstall HTC HD2 YouTube App

Hi,
I installed the youtube app from m.google.com thinking it would update my existing one.
But once installed, it looked completly different and not as nice as the preivous one.
Is there anyway to get the orginal YouTube app. Or is it still installed somwhere in main memory, as I installed the new version on the storage card.
Thanks for any help here.
The ROM version I have is: 1.48.405.2 (71294) WWE

I have the exact same problem. The program is in the Windows folder but cannot get it back to the quicklinks button as i installed a similar youtube app and then removed it...which caused the quicklink for the actual youtube not to work
any help?

I made this mistake a while back.
What I did was backup my settings and appoinments via device center and myphone.
Then just factory reset the thing. It came back after doing so.
However I believe someone on here and made a cab out of it so it should be floating here somewhere.

Yep, tried the user made app but it was lagging so uninstalled it.
Will resetting remove all of the apps i have added to the device?
Thanks for the reply

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
