Want to help a friend install Touch Flo cube but do not want to reflash rom

Hi guys,
I am looking to add the touch flo cube on to my friend HTC TyTn II for him.
I understand that his one came unlocked and he likes his current firmwire that came with it with his operator settings.
Therefore, i am wondering if it is possible to add the Touch Flo gesture and cube without having to do hardspl or any other steps require to add software to the phone.
Is it possible just to add the 2 cab's for these two peices of software and install them on to the phone via the memory card?
Advice would be appriciated massively as i really do not want to mess his phone up.
Thanks in advance
Jason

You have 200+ posts, 6 phones, been around for 9 months and you're still asking questions that we'd expect from a 10 post n00b?
Go search for your answer... Someone should remove your senior status
Oh, while you're at it, listen to http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/posting... I've done some additional research only to discover that you have 29 selfishly written threads begging for answers when I'm sure you could have just asked on an existing thread or searched for...

hi there, thats for your reply.
i dont have 6 phones, i have 1. I'm trying to help my friends which are new to the scene as well.
i do ask question, and through your research, i answer questions that you may consider "noobish" for people who just joined as well.
not everyone has strong computer literacy you. I appricate your help, but if your just going to flame someone next time, i would rather you turn a blind eye to my questions.
thanks again for your help.

what i want wondering is if it is possible to add "TFloCube" and "FTouchFlo Configurator" on to the TyTnII via .cab and if there is a need to use hardspl.
this is what i would like to add

i understand that an option is to flash a new rom, but since his current ROM has operator features on it, its rather difficult to go down that path.
therefore, are there .cab's to add TFloCube?

The only helpful reply you've had in the last 50 posts is when you told a guy to go search and read the wiki. It's advice you should follow yourself.

You are in serious need of flaming as you've got to be the biggest repeat offender I've ever seen on this forum.
Your only saving grace is that you seem to have good manners by always saying your 'please' and 'thank you'...

i have been helping people when they PM me as well. I have also been email people with .cab's.
what is your problem? i obviously need help thats why i post. I still havent found the .cab's which i need. arent forums a place you go to, to find help? As i said, not every one has strong computer literacy like you, why dont you give people a break?
i'll take it that your having a bad day mate. why not we just stop it here before it get immature.
if someone could people tell me what i want to do is possible ( add touch flo cube via .cab's without the need of flashing a new rom) i would appriciate it very much.
thanks, jason

Alex, i did not know this exsisted, i was thinking that i needed cabs exacted from rom's that are currently avalible and it is the synergy in a forum where better applications can be found though knowledge of others.

hardy har har bruv. Fact of the matter this place is full of idiots that are alot more rude and obnoxious because they are behind a screen. If they spoke to everyone offline like they do on, they would be walking around with black eyes.
Ive never understood why a grown adult would speak to someone online without the same manners and respect they would offline.
We all encounter people less techincial than us. Some many even be actually stupid. Thats no reason to talk down to them like they are a piece of dirt.
regardless of the fact they may ask annoying questions, you should feel honored someone wants to try your creation on their device. It should be very satisfying to know someone is getting real benefit from something you did, and trusted you enough to risk breaking their expensive gadget.
In any case, meh. Im slowly learning what I need to learn to flash my device, without asking many questions. I may even cook my own rom eventually. I respect the fact that there are many gueniwine and lovely people on this forum who get annoyed but that doesnt hide the fact that some are just total dicks.
My motto is never say anything to someone online that you wouldn't be brave enough to say to their face.

Same as my motto, but you still see what I've been saying. Just do a search of my posts.
I think someone should ban you and kick you out. If you're not happy with how XDA is being, just get out of here.
Why you need to learn more is here (since you're not reading my signature links)

By Kyphur,
I think what a lot of people forget is that this is not a "make my phone neat & kewl" place.
As implied by the name this is technically a Developers forum/community.
Now what does that mean? Well first off it means that there is an expectation that if you are here then you want to customize your device but rather than just installing something that someone packaged you want to understand how it works and maybe even enhance it yourself.
When I first came here with a Blue Angel it was a different environment. PDA Phones were not embraced by the general public because of the expense and complexity (I paid over $400 for my BA). A $400 phone 4 years ago was expensive, today the Tilt is $300 after rebates but with inflation & the rise in the cost of other devices and the fact that there are other sources out there giving them away for $150 our neat bit of kit has become popular with mainstream users.
Now we have a flood of new users who are asking not "How can I do this myself" but more like "Give me the quick fix" without caring to understand the process. See if you read the threads then you get to experience the learning process, you see how the issues were investigated and confirmed. Then you get to watch the different attempts at resolution and learn why some failed while others worked. That is called Development.
The NooB backlash is coming from users who have walked in the development shoes and is directed mainly at those who don't care for the journey but just want the end result or destination.
As a Development Forum we are just as much (if not more) about the journey. I've read so many comments like "I don't have time to read all of the threads" or "I don't care how it works, just that it does". These very statements are contrary to the heart & soul of XDA-Devs and that is why the backlash is so strong.
Let me be very clear on this: IF YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT UNDERSTANDING THE JOURNEY THEN YOU PROBABLY SHOULDN'T BE HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE.
XDA-Devs is about developers & hackers helping each other and working together to get the most out of our devices by understanding them better than most.
XDA-Devs is not about helping everyone who wants a "Kewl bit of kit" make their phone better than the guy next to him.
Now do we go kicking users off who never contribute anything, NO. We tolerate it to an extent. Where the toleration ends is when these users start diluting the usefulness of the forum by repeating the same questions over and over again.
You ask us to understand your position. Well if you want to benefit from our experience and time then I think it is only fair that you understand our position.

What does everyone feel about this?

I was playing around online last nite and wanted to see what would come up if I searched my username in google's search engine. Well I came across this russian site that is literally taking all of our hard work and reposting it as their own. Most of it comes from their memeber "nafuk", who also has an account here since may 09 and has yet to leave a post or comment. I didn't like seeing all of my skins there but what rubbed me the wrong way was when I seen JML's MenuSense new version 1.65 posted. JML has clearly asked/posted to not create any mirrors in his app thread, yet this guy totally dismisses it. He could at the very least post links to where he took all the stuff from no? Am I the only one that see's this as wrong? Here's the link, go thru a few of the pages to see the magnitude of whats going on..

Man what the ****?!?! thats some serious ****face this na"****".

not cool,
I would contact their forum admins and ask them why they are allowing this to happen, they at least need to abide by no-mirror wishes and credit the rest.

This guy is posting the stuff we are posting here one day after beeing posted. On some entries he tells the name of the author but thats it and he only does that sometimes. He is just taking the images we post and all the cabs. I was able to find nearly all my contributions there. Most of them just saying :CHT Theme Banality and then the CAB.

Clearly a case of....
..... "I don't give a rats ass about the enormous job some of the people in XDA -developers are doing!"
How about asking the moderators to ban mr nafuk for ****ing life from XDA-Developers!?!?
I would like to see swift judgment against this thief!
Keep up the great work even though some people doesn't seem to care that you are doing this for the community, and not for someone posing as the inventor of the stuff on another site.

would you plz report it nando? it cant be that he only removes the cabs when someone is complaining. I dont see, why we all first need to make a account there and then complain. plz tell the admins over there

indeed, hope he at least apologizes. taking other peoples work and calling it your own is a huge insult to the original developers.

WTF!!!
Are you guys serious? What in the world goes through peoples heads when they decide to rip people off. I dont know the first thing about any of this phone stuff. EVERYTHING on my phone is from the wonderful people here at XDA and I ALWAYS,ALWAYS give credit where credit is do. That is ****ED up!
Hope you guys get it all fixed!!!

Hi
But hes is not the only one! At last BHC Interceptor tells me that he found a guy that use exactly all my grafiks! He is telling that these grafiks are made by himself! I have registered me there and i send him a private message! But there comes no answer! But the hardest thing is that he is ADMIN in this forum and i was thinking he knows what is right and what not.
I have googled my name too and i found Russian, chinese, greek and much more Forums that use all the stuff form XDA. But i think we have to live with or do you have a copyright on your stuff?. I´m not!
But it would be nice when that guys leave here with a thank you or they should say thanks to the original author on his forum. But i think that will not be.
regards Dic3ptor

Well I PMed lnando84 the profile of the admin. We all share our work with the whole of you and I think we deserve a little credit. I found some of my stuff posted by other peoples in different forums but they always had the honesty to write who created this and post a link to the original thread. But this one just rips us of.
If they were asking I wouldnt mind that much

gosh it would be a shame if someone with the know how would crash these sites.......

Guys as i can see he is giving credits to the author..he doesnt say that this is his work...

This russians has been qite busy ripping people stuff off, thats wrong. What makes it so bad is a picture with a cigar in the mouth, like he made it.

Well that royally sucks...........
Some people have no respect.
Hmm seems he got me too. At least credit was given though.
Sucks for those dont want to be mirrored or didnt get credited.
I wonder if he's got any of Dinik's stuff up there......... Im sure he'd have something to say about that.
Sadly, I dont think theres much that can be done from a moderation point of view (on this side anyway).
Banning this guys XDA account wont stop him from taking the stuff and theres always the chance that it might not have been the same guy, slim chance I know....

Wheres the ICX game launcher gone?

What happened to the ICX game launcher. I looked on their website and couldn't find it and the threads closed, did they scrap it?
sent from my r800i using XDA app.

Good question.
I remember DeanBoro said that his Xperia PLAY's screen was broken, but that was like half a week after the topic was closed by request.
I do hope it eventually comes together soon though (and by soon, I definitely don't mean Gameloft's interpretation of the word) because I'd done nearly everything but completely delete the official launcher in anticipation of this customizable one.

I messaged DeanBoro about it after I saw the thread closed and this was his response.
"This is still under development but it is slow development at this moment because I am no longer working on it as my Play has been broken. HOWEVER another member of the team is working on it but ICX have alot of things to do at this moment in time i will inform you if there is any progress."
So I will be patient and if it comes out it comes out.

Thanks for posting this jgregoryj1.
As he quoted above. My play has been shattered and as I don't really have an income of any sort at this moment in time apart from college allowance I do not have funds at this moment (£50) which is needed to repair the phone screen. Therefore I have handed the project over to a good friend of mine who has continued development of it although the development is slow as he has many things on his plate at this moment in time.
I would say give it another 1-2 weeks and there should be a updated thread of his with information about the Launcher. ALSO I know hes a very talented developer therefore I think he will most likely port it to all android phones.
Thanks

It's been almost 3 weeks, no news?

I no longer own the Xperia Play so therefore I do not have any content left to associate with the community.
However like I said I give the source to a friend of mine and if he decides he wants to continue development then he has all rights to =]

fma965 I will only release the source code to certain people who I know can make this go somewhere, such as Nick. If he wants the source he can have it.

Hi Nick, DeanBoro, just wondering how this was going or if it still is...? Not asking for ETA, just curious if it is still being developed on........ so we as a community know its not abandoned, and if it let us know. Thank you both of you for your efforts and look forward to hopefully some good news.

I told you guys this project would end up being vaporware. That became obvious after we were told it was almost ready for release and then nothing happened.

Yep same new it wasn't coming because they made up released dates about 5 times and it was apparently so close to being finished but was never released so it was probably bull **** lol.

These are the type of unhelpful comments that put developers off
Everybody on these forums has a life
Projects are started some go to completion and some dont
Promises are made some are kept and some aren't
I am sure that always with the best of intentions
Everything is provided for you free of charge be grateful if you get it, be understanding if you don't.
I f you really want it go and learn and do it yourself, the same way the developers did. and then you can share it with us.
Or maybe you won't finish your project and then I can say that you lie and are full of s**t and we will see how you feel about it.

Agreed.. could not have said it better. With attitudes like that its a wonder devs make anything at all. When I enquired to DeanBoro some time ago about this he replied to my email and said that I was the only one he replied to because it was a sincere enquiery, his mesage box was full of ungrateful jerks chewing him out for not having released this ICX Game Launcher. Also DeanBoro does NOT have a Xperia PLAY anymore as his broke and he has no means of getting a replacement jsut yet so PEOPLE STOP B!TCHING, he did say several times that he had turned the project over to another trusted developer that is on the ICX team but that due to time and other responsibilities whether or not it gets released is out of his hands..............nuff said....
SO BE PATIENT............ I will continue every now and then enquire on this thread in hopes of some news but I am not going to write up a$$hole remarks, if people want to be like that why dont YOU work on it, then when people realize that its a difficult time consuming task and its not released others can harp on you about it....PATIENCE goes a LLLLLOOOOONNNNNNGGGGG WWWWAAAAAYYYYY, and you'll live longer......

Actually, you make a good point. However, I didn't say anything bad about the devs. I only said the app was vaporware - meaning that, while the devs may have had good intentions, the app was never released. After several promised release dates came and went, it became pretty obvious this was a tougher nut to crack than first imagined. Then the main dev ran into hardware issues. Then there were NO ETAs and no news coming out for weeks. Thus it became obvious the project had been shelved. So... Vaporware.
No disrespect intended to the devs. Heck, I'd rather have them working on ROMs any day.

i'm a 3rd year computer science student. Any chance I could have the source code? I might not be able to make much happen with it, but I might be able to finish it off.
Thanks DeanBoro, appreciate all your work here!

This right here

This right here is why people think poorly of the devs and why people leave.
Taking your ball and leaving and in the process removing a thread because of butthurt. I was hoping after you guys realized thrashing on a fourteen year old kid in that other thread is not acceptable and shows how immature the whole lot of you are, you would stop.

If you still don't get why developers leave this forum, you lose.
Spending time trying to wrangle the forums and keep our threads clean is the reason you don't have MIUI or CM-anything.
Respect.

1. Age doesn't matter.
2. What comes out of your mouth at any age is what matters.
3. Can you seriously stop with these posts dude, you talk big even reported me to the mods no? Leave Raver alone it's his thread if he wants to remove it, then it's his work to remove. You have no say in what he does and you don't know why he removed it so don't assume it's because he got butthurt.
Hopefully mods remove the thread and give you a strike.

Eollie
Most of us don't think poorly of devs at all. Quite the opposite actually. We think poorly of people like you who feel a need to stand on a soapbox and tell the rest of us how to act. If you feel that need as it seems you do maybe focus your energies elsewhere. Like Big Brother or some other such charity where you can impart your moral and social ideas on someone who may actually give a ****. The rest of us here are adults, including airfluip, and will act how we feel accordingly. I fully stand behind Bryan and Raver. To coin an old line "If your not part of the solution your part of the problem."

@bryan cool you know how to copy and paste. Actually the fact you cant ignore the noise and just focus is why we dont have the roms like other phones. When you guys have bad days you come here and thrash people for whatever reason you can find.
@erikmm You are correct age has nothing to do with anything. Until a grown man starts berating a child. If this was something being done in public place there would be people like me stepping in telling the grown ass man to shut up and act like a adult. Yes the child would be corrected too but you cant expect do as I say not as I do.
@hechoen There are more people that have left this place based on the reaction of the current developers than you would even care to believe. Look at the devs that have left. Read their threads. You dont see them posting things like have been posted in the past four months. Whitehawkx just stopped posting period he ignored the noise and did what he did best and develop. I truly believe if you cant ignore the noise then you shouldnt be trying to develop period. This happens every where. Doesnt matter if you get paid or not. Either do it because you like it or dont do it at all.
I wish I had better options when I bought my phone. I only bought this phone because it appeared to have better development than the other options I found at the time. I count the days until I can get a different phone. And Im sure most of you are counting them with me.

Thanks for treating me like everyone else hechoen.

Eollie, you're a twit.
The only way you'd possibly be right would be... oh, wait, nevermind... there isn't a way.
I come back to the forums less and less. I stopped testing new roms, stopped providing feedback, not because of the attitude of the devs, but because of the same BS that leads up to threads like the one you posted.
These guys come in here and do their thing for free mostly, because they can, and because they like to do it.
Then they get crapped on and it stops being fun.
I have my own side gigs and hobbies, and when people start demanding I change this or that, in work I freely created for my own enjoyment, they get a lot worse treatment from me than these forums have seen from the developers.
I can empathize with them...
It's their hobby, their fun, if someone doesn't like what they produce, or the speed at which they produce it, then that someone needs to do it themselves.
Study, learn, and crank out their own stuff, the way they want it, and then let's see how they like the *****fest that happens around here...
People don't leave because the devs are being dickish, the devs leave because 'Joe User' is being dickish.
Don't forget where you are, when I look at the top of the page I see XDA-Developers. Not XDA-Whinyassdemandingendusers.
@Bryan, I was happy to see you come back, but I wouldn't have a single harsh thing to say if you packed up and left again.
@Raver - if you're still reading over here... I enjoyed your work, and remember, Joke 'em if they can't take a f*.
I wrote this post before clicking on all of Bryan's links... now I realize I was being redundant, but screw it, I wrote it, and I'm still PO'd enough to think it's needs said again.

I agree with this post completely I am that same exact guy and yes. It probably was my fault for getting MIUI closed because I was sticking up for someone but I guess that's not the appropriate thing to do when someone tells someone else to GTFO. But now I have to "think" before I say something because someone told me to.. hmm.

@Core618 flame on dude.
If you think I dont appreciate the time and effort put into what is done then you are wrong. I do. Just because this is xda-developers doesnt mean the developers have the right to act like butthurt little tards.
If your not disgusted at how grown men trashed a fourteen year old kid then something is wrong with you. Leading by example and teaching is what they should have been doing. Instead it resorted to banning him from irc and then coming to xda to talk trash on him. Today because somebody had a bad day/night they pick up and start it again. Then when somebody steps up and says something in defense they get trashed and lo and behold the miui thread is closed..
For anyone else wanting to flame me for calling raver out for being a whiny ***** go ahead. It just shows how the lemmings will follow along. How does it feel to be a lemming?

That's not true, you're only a lemming if you join in not knowing what it's all about.
Most of the people bashing you have a brain of their own, and read your needless thread and said to themselves "He's wrong."
Lastly, and i do mean last post, this is a dev community where people post their work not your own personal diary where you write what you think is right or wrong. If you want to do that then go here: http://www.melodramatic.com/
No one is talking **** to airfluip, we are just telling him to not go off topic and respect others.
Bye eTROLLie hopefully you get a job soon that can help you afford that new phone and make you go away from this one.

There was many more but they were deleted. Again this isnt just about airflip. Its general tired of devs taking out their frustration on people and we are suppose to allow it. I didnt see one person tell bryan,raver, or fb they werent acting like adults until I posted how immature they were acting. There was many of you posting how airfilp was acting like a kid.
Also good to see you scrapping to find something to trash me about...its original too.

actually this is the reason i locked the thread because it was getting off topic....

I dont. Its been off-topic so many times and mods have had to clean it up.
I cant wait to see how the sgs2 people react when you act like a whiny ass while developing on that donated phone... I for one would be pissed if I donated money for a dev to get a phone only to have him/her respond like you do.

Awesome, willl have to do this once my phone arrives. However, do you actually mean Reduce browser loading times??

Or one could use full-featured, easy apps from the Market such as AdAway or Adfree Android...

Apologies to OP, but quick Adfree Android question: is there documentation for it somewhere? I checked out bigtincan.com and it doesn't have anything, and on the Android Market^H^H^H Google Play site there's very little by way of documentation. I think it just did its job, but it presents a lot of choices and it would be good to know what they all do.

Is there a specific reason your being so rude? Or are you feeling insecure that there is another bad ass dev coming out with fixes. or is it your just that stuck up and must have all the likes. Last I heard Android is open source and last I checked we were all supposed to help one another not point out each others down falls or pick at them. Your rude and have my word that I would never support you and your obnoxious mouth. </rant> good day sir

Do you really think that k0nane's post was rude? Really? It is just another way to accomplish the same thing. That dude gave us root. That in itself is way more than most have offered.
I thank everyone for the work they're putting in for this device, but to say that his post was rude is reaching a bit. He just gave another option, and it is a good one.
We're all on the same team.

Yep and the same man helped him on his journey of getting the root. I feel the man is acting childish following him around and under minding his every turn. Same team.... I thought. But with this crap going on..... Just because he achived root doesn't give him rights to act like a snob.

badass dev? when is he coming?
anyways in all seriousness the point that k0nane was trying to make i believe was fully justified. by using nicks tweak you rely on him updating it, which from the looks of it... doesnt seem to be happening. what does android being open source have to do with helping or not helping? as far as i can see there was an alternative given thats all, no different than if i made a huge giant post about how to use alogcat and get your msl. which works fine but there is an easier way of just using getprop.
so far from what ive seen of this community is a bunch of crying on how there are no roms/kernels etc. we had one blaze owner in teh irc for teh longest time. helping with root/recovery and whenever starskyrob had a moment to test his rom. everyone claims to want cm7/cm9/aokp/ics yet i havent seen anyone except (forgive me for misspelling your name if i did) dr4stic even try to compile. if you want good things to happen to your device then you need to step forward, look into rom development, learn how to compile the kernel from source. if you cant/arent willing to put the time in then find someone who is ive mentioned all around this forum no dev is gunna give up their high end device to go buy and work on the blaze.
myself and k0nane are on sprint it just happened to be that we like to go around and help phones that dont seem like they are gunna get the big name treatment. i tweeted at my buddy mikeyinid (we worked together on the nexus s back in the day) see if he wouldnt mind helping you guys on out...

And that is 100% respected. I am not only talking Bout this post, rather all of his post that have followed one of nicks. I am glad you guys helped. But that doesn't give the right to treat others in a condescending manner. Nick has done amazing work on the vibrant and now has this phone and wad helping this man. Once the man got what he needed ( because like you stated, he nor you have the device) he was out. Then started treating him like this. Shabby, problem wasn't with you. I just had to step in and defend nick because he is a bad ass dev.

I personally think a lot of the problem is the average user's interpretation of T-mobile sales reps.
I mean, I knew the S2 had a very large rom community especially because it's a very popular phone. I was led to believe by T-mobile that the phone is pretty much just an S2, but with a smaller size screen.
If you compare the phone's features and specifications, you'd be a fool to not agree.
But as it turns out, as it pertains to roms, nothing could be further from the truth.
Shame on us, the average user, for not realizing the golden rules with salespeople:
1: They'll tell you what you want to hear.
2: Most of the time they don't know what they are talking about anyway.
3: Often times when you need to buy a phone, you've not exactly been planning on it, so you have to do it hastily. This was certainly true for me.
4: Custom roms are of course never able to be supported or recognized by the carriers, they pretty much pretend they don't exist, and for good reason. Most people aren't really careful enough to be doing it, even for the "simple" methods.
5: Rom maker's ability to communicate instructions is not always clear, and yes, this can have a detrimental impact to a person, especially if they are not experienced with the process. Seriously, half of the roms I've looked at for Android phones have glaring instruction errors, and even if it gets pointed out by another person, rather than update their instructions they'll just reply, "Yeah, sorry about that" The problem is, that clarification is often times on the 40th page of the thread. Sigh.
6: And this is my number one reason........
A lot more people should be getting more and more fed up with carriers who impose limitations on phones. Seriously, if it wasn't for all this carrier and manufacturer ego-wagging, the user experience would be better for both the tweaker crowd, and the stock crowd.

I appreciate the help with root and CWM but not the comments that follow all of mine. I have Saturdays to work with this device, so I am limited with time. I got to the point where I felt like baking for my wife and I ...= less drama. Ill be more than happy to post a "bootable , Functional Rom. But it will be redirected here: http://www.android-engineering.com/index.php
Sorry I can't sit here 24/7 I work 6 day's a week and spend the extra time with my 3 kids. I got to a point where I was neglecting my fam and was staying on the PC trying to keep up with 5 Rom's. Something had to give. What am I not updating? Is there a need? This will be put into my rom instead of an extra app. If something needs updating when I update a rom it will be done with each release. If it is unappreciated just delete the thread.

alright, its clear. i cant speak for k0nane but i can for myself. the hitsquad attempts to help devices get off teh ground but it doesnt seem like that is much wanted round here. so my apologies but ill go ahead and remove this forum from my daily loadup macro.
