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.

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.

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.

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!

Keep screen on during calls

I'm trying to find a way to keep the screen on when I'm in a call but it turns of automatically every time. Is there any tweak to stop that?

try searching i have seen this before in a different thread

Yes, you can do it
Make a search in Tweaks for Polaris for example, you'll find which Key register you'll have to modify. I think you could find very quickly on the Mahmoud website.

it didin't work

Nevermind, S2U2 was causing the problem
Thanks all for the help

See trick N38 in

Namely:

change the value from 1 to 0 then soft-reset
It works in Polaris. Regards.

psShutXP

Has anyone figured out why the Shut Down button on psShutXP only turns the phone's screen off? Can anyone help fix it?

Hermes by any chance? Do you have a poweroffwarning.exe in the windows folder? Mine doesn't, and I've had no luck getting it working either. It seems that it is done differently using gwes.exe on my phone.

i think it is because htc removed the shutdown command from the library. Try dave shaws xda-shutdown. It calls the shutdown.exe and actually allows you to shut the phone down.
go here to grab a copy

I really like psShutXP though. Therefore, I am determined to fix it. Holyfox created a VGA fix. From what I've gathered in other forums, psShutXP simply calls up the wrong exe in some devices (in my case, the Kaiser). All I need to do is change the path for the shut down function right? This will be my first "programing venture." I know a lot about every aspect of computers and programing except for the actual programing.
I could really use some guidance if anyone is willing to point me in the right direction. Im not asking for a hand out. I have checked the registry as well as trying to decompile the exe. I am using resource tuner, which I played around editing MS Calculator and it was fairly simple. However, when I went to edit psShutXp.exe, the only things of significance that I only saw are the gif file and a dialog box for the timer. Neither of them actually help me. The only other files i can tell that are associated with the program are to readme.txt files.
Once again, I am not asking for you to do this for me. I want to learn. Any guidance would be helpful! Thanks in advance.

I think Aserg has got it working. Didnt test it yet myself coz I dont have access to downloading from office. But you can check out his post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1141775&postcount=168

Ultimate Start - new Start Menu and Skype audio routing

Guys, there is one very good application released on PocketGear. I have it on my s740 and apart from being perfect new Start Menu with some very very useful features it can route audio to an earpiece when Skype is active. Also it has Task and Process Manager and it is fully animated. Just wanted to let you know.
Here are some screenshots and detail description.

Skype
by the way "it can route audio to an earpiece when Skype is active": long time ago I read a thread (I'm not sure if it was a Vox thread about skype problem. I think there was a way to find a solution without using ultimate start....
Unfortunately I can't find it again. Can anybody help how to use Skype without backside loudspeaker ? Or does anybody know in which tweak is the explanation to solve problem ?
Regards odiad

There is no tweak to do that. You need some application to do it for you. And there are not many applications that can do that. But that's just a bonus feature of Ultimate Start. Start Menu part of the application is really something.

hello Callah,
yes I saw that feature in Ultimate start. But I don't like the generell function - the modified start menu (I tried the demo version).
And so it don't make sense for me to buy this tool only to to fix Skype problem. Does anybody else a way or a tool to fix Skype earpiece bug? Would be nice if such a tool is freeware.
Regards Odiad

if you want skype and the earpiece:
Use Nimbuzz
Amazing multi messenger, supporting almost all im's AND skype AND SIP and uses the normal earpiece!!!

I would love to here what you don't like about the start menu. I find it very useful.
Thanks

Hi Callah,
my test of Ultimate Start was quite short because Demoversion of tool didn't allow so many process steps. But that was not so important.
One reason why I don't like the tool was that I prefer the start menu as a list, not grid view. But if Ultimate Start would be so excellent that I could say "wow thats it" - then I could also accept grid view.
And second reason was that in test, when I pressed start menu, I had to wait a little bit until start menu appears. And thats annoying for me. The S710 seems to be a little bit too slow to show good performance. I don't know if it is the same on all S710, but in case of my phone it was so (WM6.5.3 from fireburned).
So that are my reasons why I don't like it.
Regards Odiad

Thanks. What I like about it is T9 search of whole start menu. I don't know if you tried it. It is just like in Contacts. You can get to almost any application or bookmark in just 2-3 key presses.
That second reason you mentioned...I agree. Reason for slow start is probably because application is written in Compact Framework. But...good thing is that you need to wait that long only once when you turn on your phone (my phone is always on). After that application stays in memory just like default start menu and activates fast when you click Start again.
I have read some bad comments about UI on some forums, some people describing it as Windows 3.1 style. But I can't disagree more on that. I think it looks very good. But that maybe just a question of taste.

It looks like many developers are dropping prices (possibly because of WP7). This application is now only 1$, 80% off!

Low incominc call volume...WM 6.5 How to gain it?

Hi,
I'm using a Treo Pro with WM 6.5 and stock Radio but the incoming voice call is very low, I'd like to gain it.
I can't hear almost nothing....do you have a solution?
Maybe a cab? Or I have to edit the registry? How to do it?
Help guys
Cheers

Do a search for audiopara, you can find a modified audiopara.csv that will increase your volume. This may help but I don't know what you got:

Thanks Mate
But I've already tried with no luck :S Any other suggestion?

Strange the audiopara didn't work for you. Did you find the right one? I know there are more than one floating around. Other than that I don't really have any suggestions.
Dumb question but you did try raising the in-call volume correct?

Of course I tried raising up volume call. I think I need a registry potition....there're any wizards out there?

Hey man had the same problum google "audiopara3.csv treo pro ppcgeeks" or try replacing the ppcgeeks with "treocentral" make sure you use resco explorer or simalar to rename it and overwrite your old one once you do that softreset and you'll be good to go
