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....

and here is the six sided cube, but only on a sprint touch i think.

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.

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

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!

HW Keyboard not working in citrix RDP

hi guys,
I am using a citrix ica client as a remote desktop.ANd unfortunately its not accepting the Hardware keyboard strokes at all. Its only accepting virtual keyboard.Can any kind soul tell me how to completely disable the virtual keyboard and use only the hardware keyboard please ?
I tried changing the few roms availabe, but nothing helps.
Suggestions are welcome , as whats the point of not able to use a keyboard in Remote desktop clients ?
vijayvasa
I've just been reading about RDP. It should work if it is install on the phone, not the card, but you can try the opposite, if its not working.

I have tried the citrix client with installed on device.
I will try and then will post the feedback.

I'd forgotten about Citrix until reading this thread. I've just installed it and have the same problem - no working hardware keyboard...
I found another program in witch the hardware keyboard doesn't work; iGO8. I Haven't been able to figure out why, thinking it was an iGO8 problem. Now reading Citrix also doesn't work maybe it isn't an iGO prblem after all.
Still searching for a solution; iGO *must* be use in 320*240 mode, and it seems silly not being able to use the hardware keyboard.
I have a good news. The hardware keyboard works in the ica client. I believe the "Enable Palette Device" in the settings did the trick for me.

Hi yaa, I tried with your setting enabled on 1.90.405.1 Uk version official rom and am still unable to make the HW keyboard work in the ica client ? Hope you can tell me your rom version ? Thank you.

Sure.
ica client version: 10.0.57037
ROM: 1.90.401.1 WWE
I played with settings again and unfortunately the previous option indeed doesn't enable the keyboard.
You have to modify the IME settings. Either in global settings or for each server (from the main screen select the remote server, press edit, edit options, set IME settings). Set it to "Disable Client IME" (default is Disable Server IME). Tested it this time
Sorry for the confusion, I enabled more options at the same time.
Just in case anyone else has been having the same problem as me, use Pocket IE to get to the /localaccess page instead of Opera.

It seems the xT9 software breaks keyboard handling somehow. After cooking a ROM without it iGO8 works fine. I'm sure there must be another way (like with Citrix) but I'm happy now.

Internet Keyboard Button

I'm looking for a way to change the internet hardkey (FN + SYM) to open Opera instead of IE. I've searched and found PQzII, but that software causes my phone to crash. Opera is already set to the default browser. Does anyone know of any other software or regedits that can help?
