HTC 3D Menu in new ROMs

addressed to all ROM cookers.
I have attached the cab file for htc 3d menu which i like to use. Some of the shortcuts dont work for new roms. I couldn't fine anyone else reporting similar problems so i attached the file.
e.g the task manager shortcut.
How can i configure these shortcuts to work properly. Also i feel this is a tiny little app and can be included as a part of any ROM
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

This menu is brilliant! Thanks for sharing!
Yes, it would be awsome if some of you cookers out there would integrate this into your ROMs!

Yes indeed! And it has two color variants too..

Could anyone please upload some screenshots of this cab?

Great application. No doubt about it. You should tell in Dr. Martin and fireburned's threads. I hope they fix shortcuts and include it in there new roms

Yeah, this came packaged with my HTC S710 - out of the box.
On a different note, one app that I just can't wait for is the new version of SmartToolKit....drooooolllll

You mean that the shortcuts work with the original ROM?

yes, the shortcuts worked in the orignal rom. i think maybe this application has predefined locations for some default applications. The ROM cookers place the apps somewhere else so it is unable to locate them... so i think.
i have also attached 2 screenshots. (the background is animated)

HACKED!
Managed to make the shortcuts work. It's very easy.
So, if you want the shortcuts to work (let's say Voice Commander for example).
1. Connect your Vox through ActiveSync.
2. In Windows Explorer, go Tools-Folder options... there you go to View, then check "Show hidden files and folders and un-check "Hide protected operating system files".
3. Go in your Mobile Device, Browse into Windows folder (now visible), then to Start Menu, and if you want to access an app through Voice Command, simply create a shortcut of any app there with the name "Voice Command". It's that easy! It now starts Bubble Breaker on mine
Update: found on some older thread

can i need the cab file for the neo Image?

3D is enabled only if I press 'all programs' - is there a way to make this default ?

add shortcut can
but how to remove the unworkable links in the menu????

Go to Settings>Home Screen
There deselect the checkbox that says 'show recent programs'. This is how i have it configured. Maybe some can suggest a better solution....

thanks it worked
two cons : 3D menu shall have icons for freshly installed apps; switching from 3D to 2D does not require reboot

This menu doesn't work correctly on 96dpi ROM A part of the screen is left out and I can see some elements of homescreen or programs in this area.
Here it is with Resco Explorer launched prior to the menu.

How to have an animated background?

Hi romil7
Maybe create new relase, Sreen Design from WM 6.5 Pro
This is a good Apps, thanks

Cool. Thx for sharing!

is this possible?

Moved to the Q&A section

It could be an Ultimate Launch setup with custom Icons, but I have no way to know for sure what exactly that is on that device in the picture. Perhaps the person you got the picture from would be better suited to answer this question.

i created this image in adobe, those images on the bottom is from " Nokia", i made that just to have a demo.
i was looking for a touch pad on the bottom like in that picture, for easy access to your fav. application
is there an application which allow you to make a short cut menu on the bottom like this picture shown???? plz reply
thanks

if you used Ultimate Launch you could create icons in tabs to have as many shortcuts as you'd like

if you look at this (the one circled) is what i exactly i am looking for

you can use ultimate launch, have 1 tab, this one tab will not contain anything but icons, and the size of the whole UL plugin will be as many pixels as you like. you WONT have to show headers so all you will see is what you're looking for.

Ultimate Launch is highly customizable. Just play around with it and you will see. I use it and love it. It will surely be on my device for as long as I have it.\
have you checked out the HTC Home plugin? If not, then maybe that will give you what you are looking for. Also check out HTC Home Customizer (HHC) to make it nicer to your liking

you can use whichever icons you like, use whichever header icons you like...
you can pretty much do whatever the hell you like

i am now after finding out, how to edit the icons and the short cut of "Sprint HTC Home Plug in", if i could get some help replacing the orig. sprint icons also the short cut, since am not using HTC cube or HTC album, those short cuts are useless, i tried the Ultimate L. which takes lot of main window space.

Its a launcher. Once you select this as your launcher you cannot use sense (widgets) unless off course you just switch back your launcher to htc sense.

take an icon from your app drawer, drag it to the main body of your background, then drag the icon to the launcher and drop.

sure. i dont take credit for it, as i didnt develop it. just found it wasnt showing in market.

What widgets are those btw? Beautiful or some others? Forgive my ignorance, my EVO arrives tomorrow and it'll be my first Android device, just trying to compile a list of all the stuff I wanna try and I certainly like the overall look you've put together w/ADW and that stuff. Love the wallpaper too btw, I've got the very same one in rotation w/others on my desktop, heh.

beautiful widgets for the time/weather & the vibrate widget.
es task manager is the task killer icon on the right of the battery widget.
battery widget is "batterylife" by curvefish in the app market.

Thanks for the quick reply!

Love the launcher, any way to the HTC widgets??
I use the bookmarks, agenda and clock with time/temps .

unfortunately not.
smooth calendar, or android agenda widget is a good replacement for the htc agenda with some more customizable options.
beautiful widgets is another good replacement for the htc clock. with many types of skins.
the bookmarks im not to sure. never use them personally. if i did i would just use the android bookmark "shortcuts"

Ok will give it a try. But cannot see an Android Agenda widget. All I see is an Android calendar widgej which is very "lite".

does this use less battery life and/or memory than say stock sense?

one thing that i noticed is when you turn on your screen and then drag down to unlock, the wallpaper will shift downward as well. is there a fix to this?
i am going to have to dump adw if there isn't a fix for this.. it drives me up the wall.

If you have the device held horizontally its going to do that. If that is what you are talking about. Not a glitch.

I like the RAB and LAB buttons. Very useful.
I have the LAB as Phone (to make calls) and RAB as a folder.
The problem is I cannot add/remove apps from the folder.
I initially created the folder on the desktop, added about 10 apps to it then dragged it to the RAB. Excellent. I have access to those 10 apps almost 90% of the time.
Problem is I cannot add a new app shortcut to that folder.
Is there a way to undock/shift the folder from RAB back to desktop to add app shortcuts then back to RAB?
Because I tried adding an app shortcut to the folder by dragging it from desktop to RAB but that app got registered as the bew RAB and I lost the folder. Had to redo it all over.
otherwise its great.
thanks

this any different from ADW.Launcher in market?

Save the icon and use Better Cut in the market.

Well that was a waste of $3.00...when I try to edit an icon I get the following message.
Unable to edit shortcuts for Android Home, if you are editing Open Home, you MUST install Open Home first. The easy solution is just uninstall BetterCut and then reinstall it (without uninstalling Open Home)
I do not have open home. I am just trying to edit my icons.

BetterCut is 1.99, does not require open home. Not sure what you're referring to.

$1.99 plus tax. When I run the program and select create short cut that is the message that I get.

I get the same message when trying to use bettercuts. Quick question are you using launcher pro or adw launcher?

I have the ADW Laucher and used that but got that error. I also used HTC Sense and got the same error.

for those of you getting that error, you have to add the shortcut as an activity (give it a minute to load the activity) then select the one you want. Bettercut doesnt play that nicely with Sense, but you can get everything to work.

Thanks for the reply. I did not know that you had to create them new. I thought you could edit the ones that you already had. I have created the new ones and just deleted the ones I did not want. Love the icons.

Ok now I have created new icons and when I try to use them I get the message the linked program is no longer installed on your phone....I long held on the main screen selected short then picked better cut then selected activity and scrolled down until I found messages and that is the one that I used. I just clicked on change icon and picked a new icon. What am I doing wrong?

for the apps that it gives you that message (its something to do with HTC programs) you'll have to install folder organizer lite. Use better cut, select other shortcut (or whatever the option is) then select folder organizer item, then go to apps and select the app you want. You'll then be able to select the icon and it should work. a lot of hassle i know...but it works!

Thanks alot. Worked perfect with the exception of Messages. I go through these steps and after I create the shortcut and go back to the main screen the new icon is there for like 3 secs then it reverts back to the orignal one.

new addition, the GRFXP version of the DroidX wallpaper!
enjoy!

Man I love that background thanks alot.

Silly question, but which home screen replacement is it that you're using in your pics?

[HOMESCREEN] Cover Flow Home screen

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
ok so this is a little guide on how to get the 'cover flow' style homescreen. first off, i think some of you (ok well a small minority) will be happy to know that it doesnt require root. all you need is launcher pro or adw luncher and multipicture live wallpaper. now there is a drawback to this method, which is you cant change your wallpaper unless you edit the .psds provided. oh and just for the record i am currently using miui rom but it is not needed. ok so here we go.
1) download the coverflowwallpapers.zip containing the wallpaper for each page
2) download either adw launcher or launcher pro from the market and apply as default home screen
3) get rid of the dock bar and icons from the launcher. it would be a good idea to set a swipe gesture to show the app drawer so you still have access to all your apps. i would also recommend changing the number of home screen rows to 5 to compensate for the row lost due to the thumbnails.
4) download MultiPicture live wallpaper from the market.
5) go to select wallapaper/live wallapers/then select multipicture and then press settings
5) using the images you downloaded from this post and change the wallpaper for each page. (seeing as im a nice guy i numbered them for you)
6) finally, got to the transition type and choose your favourite one. i chose to go with wipe as it makes the thumbnails look like they are rotating but some of the others look great too.
so there it is. hopefully this tutorial isnt too hard to follow. also if you have your won ideas/modifications, post them here cos i wanna see them too
heres a crappy video of it in action
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dx0uGYOUWR0

thanks for doing this! trying it now.

2) download either adw launcher or launcher pro from the market and apply as default home screen
How'd you make it default?

Hit the home button and then a prompt will show your available home screens and launchers. Check the radio button on the bottom of the pop up and select adw or launcherpro. You can clear the "default" if you decide to do something else and not use LP or ADW.

Click to collapse
after downloading a new launcher from the market, press the home button and it should give you an option to which launcher you want to go to. check the make default option and then press the launcher you want.

ok, how do I get rid of the dock bar and how do I set a gesture for getting it back?

sputnik99 said:

The way I am doing it is by replacing the icons with a blank icon. Essentially the icons are still there, but invisible and I can still assign a swipe up gesture if I wanted to.

You probably don't want to use the term "cover flow" as I would be willing to bet Apple has a trademark on that term.

2 things :
1. first and foremost, thank you for actually listening to us and making this available for us to use.
2. since no one is really taking the initiative can you make several different walls and icons for us?
Thanks,

sorry I simply don't have the time to do that. this setup was initially made for me but some people asked me to share how I done it so I did. I knew not everyone would like the wallpaper and/or icons which is I why I uploaded the .psd file. there's only so much I can. also it doesn't seem like many people are interested but that's cool as i know this kind of setup is not for everyone.

Don't be discouraged. I've liked this setup since I first saw it--it's very different. If I hadn't just rehauled my own homescreens, I'd be slavishly copying yours.
I do have the time and tools to make something out of your .psd too, so maybe when I get home (i.e. to the PC with photoshop installed) I might try my hand at it.
