Need help with Touch Flo Cube for the Tilt

I am an absolute upgrading noob. I have never done anything like this before nor have I even attempted it. So I was hoping someone would please be able to help me. If someone could even take the time to walk me through these processes I would be eternally grateful.
A gentleman came into my store with the Touch Flo Cube application running on his Tilt and I fell in love. The gentleman gave me the name of the program and sent me online to do a little research first. Well, long story short I ended up here and I was told this was one of the best places to go. So, I had quite a few very noobish questions and I was hoping that you guys could help me and would be gentle. I am very concerned because I have never done this before and everywhere I look there are very big warnings about "bricking your device". I have already gone through one Tilt due to liquid, and I do not want to go through another. So please please help me out here guys.
So, I have found a place to download the Touch Flo Cube from. The gentleman that I spoke to on htcwiki.com said that all I needed to do was install the application to my Tilt's internal memory, and then once I open the folder it would self install. Do I store this to it's own individual Folder? Or do I store it to a certain folder in the device? Does the device have to be unlocked in order to run the application?(Mine currently is locked to at&t Wireless USA)
Will the Touch Flo Cube enable me to view websites similar to the i-phone?
Will the Touch Flo Cube enable me to watch Youtube videos and other online videos? If not, how do I do so?
Also, I went to download the application, and it said that if I didn't buy some content that after 90 days my stuff would be deleted. Does this meant that after 90 days my application will be deleted off of the device? This might be a really really dumb question, but I just simply don't know the answer. Sorry

no it will not brick your phone
it will install on its own
no it will not make you view websites like the iphone or watch videos on you tube..you need to get TCPMP video player and the video bundle to do so
and that cube is prolly some 3rd party program that you buy...there is a cube application that is completly free...
the cube is just a cube that has shortcuts to programs and your favorite people...

I agree. This was a quick, informative reply without any attitude. For someone to ask such noob questions because the can't be bothered reading this site for more than a few minutes he should be lucky. Questions like this get answered every other day and just bog down the fourm.
Please do a lot more reading of this site so that you actually understand how to flash a ROM before you go a head and brick your phone. I'd say at least for a few days rather than a few minutes!

I wish you all the luck and hope you get what you're looking for, but, seriously, you couldn't use search and read for a little? Anything you wanna learn how to do is provided in Stickies, Wiki's, and Search. I had NO idea how to flash a ROM or where to start when I first got here. I just started reading thread after thread until I started to grasp what needed to be done. I understand you're anxious to get your device all modded and the way you want it, but unless you invest the time to understand what you're doing, jumping into this is NOT the way to go. Next thing you'll be doing is starting ANOTHER thread because something went wrong and your device got bricked. Do you wanna go w/o a phone for x amount of days until you either figure it out or buy another one? Doubtful. So read, read, and keep reading. Everyone is here to help, but they're also sick of people making their first post exp[ecting people to hold their hands and do everything for them. Good luck.

Rave: New Phone

This evening I picked up my new HTC Fuze - I'm thrilled!
After a good deal of grief with starting a new AT&T plan with my girlfriend I managed to get my new toy! I rarely will consider taking advice from employees at chain stores but after two visits at Best Buy I was actually very impressed.
On the first visit we were only looking at phones for my girlfriend and I wanted to see if they had any htc touch demo models. After talking to an associate about my interest in android (assuming he would be clueless) he gave me a pleasant surprise in describing the differences between carriers, limitations, status of android port and lots of other things. I've been reading the xda-developers and howard forums for a few weeks now but was still a little gun shy because I didn't feel like I got the whole picture (I'm a knowledge control freak - if I don't feel like I *really* know what i'm talking about - I'm extremely hesitant..). Anyway - he unintentionally convinced me that I wanted the htc fuze with AT&T. But he wasn't actually trying to sell it to me (yea yea.. i know thats the best sales tactic) - he was actually just as interested in android and pda hacking as most of the people here are.
On the second visit - after I had some of my current cell plan issues worked out - we returned to best buy and started a new plan. We worked with some different employees that were equally considerate and gave us the blunt truth about differences in insurance and other things. Sure - they were doing there job - but I never felt like they were jumping on us trying to get us in and out the door.
Anyway - I'm usually a cynic when it comes to chain stores, sales people and cell phone companies in general - but now I would actually recommend Best Buy when looking at a new cell plan or cell phone related questions in general.
Now - on to the hacking and tweaking! I'm gonna try to go a week without any major mods then hopefully I can me functional member of this forum!
P.S. Again - if this is the wrong forum to post in I apologize - I'll try to get with the program. I was just a little over excited and wanted to share with everyone.
P.S.S. And no - I don't work for Best Buy!

You'll want to check out the rom section. Lots of good 6.5 roms, PLEASE read the "flashing your rom for the first time" before you download one.

Yep - definitely will. I can't really afford to brick my phone.. I'll be reading half a dozen tutorials and probably asking a few questions before I dive in.

well, i read the forum for 3 days after getting my phone(used, $180, but still, it's expensive)
the main thing is to flash HardSPL... after that, it's really hard to brick the phone

I couldn't wait a week. Just flash a new ROM and Radio asap. You won't regret it. Try the one in my signature.
Just make sure you read the tutorial on flashing ROMs before you start.

RRE roms
Thumbs up on the RRE rom!
He just updated on the 27th to a newer version, which is even faster than the 921 version. Flashed it this afternoon. They just get better and better!

# 1 [Q] LG g2x 2.3.3 HELP CHANGE to 2.3.7 or better for battery
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello, I'm new and pretty dumb about smartphones but I'm very motivated and excited to have found "you guys". I like what you guys believe in
"P.S. A little bit more about us. XDA-Developers was founded on the simple principal that SHARING IS GOOD and when many people SHARE what they know, EVERYONE benefits. We exist upon this Ethos, we RESPECT each other, we SHARE with each other, we do not judge one another and we HELP all who ask. We believe that while some may have more knowledge than another, none are more important."
I will show every member that I'm humble and grateful for any help that comes my way. I promise to ALL MEMBERS that I will be a "GOOD" member and give back to the site at every opportunity.
I bought a g2x used with 2.3.3 and I love it except the battery life. I heard that if I downloaded the 2.3.7 the battery problem would go away. My problem is that I know nothing about this type of "stuff" but I'm VERY excited about learning and starting new and TRUE relationships with other members. PLEASE HELP me get this LG g2x straightened out.: I need to learn how to re-root this phone. I have to make4 sure that I don't harm what good I already have. If I can't get better battery life from this phone I will have wasted $250. I just finished "fighting" Lymphoma cancer and I can't afford to throw away money, especially in these amounts. Please help me and get to know me and I the same with you.
Thank You, Sincerely, Cgarland

Hello sir. All you have to do NVFlash CWM and you're all set to flash a ROM.
Follow this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cy9on64jAZs
Just the part where you do the NVFLash. Once that's done upgrade CWM to the latest version, you can find that in the dev section.
Then you just simply DL CM7, wipe your phone then flash your desired ROM.
I didn't really go into details in case you're already familiar with CWM and flashing, that's just a gist of it. But if you need more help and have no idea what flashing and CWM is then let me know.

GREAT to hear from you.
Howd ya know? I have no idea what CWM or flashing is! I want to thank you for writing back to me. I'm MORE than excited about talking with the members of this site. I'm having dental work done at the University of Washington school of dentistry and I have to go to bed since I have to get up at 6:30 in order to make it to Seattle from Olympia by 9:30. I hope tomorrow we can continue to talk about these and other issues with these type of devices? Thank You....who are you? I want to learn how to attach a video to my post like you did for me. You have no idea how excited I'm about this site and talking with you guys. The member that just answered my question is totally freaking me out with the knowledge that you have about my phone. What I think your saying is that I need to get a cord that goes from my power outlet on my phone to a usb plug on my computer? Please explain, in detail, what you mean when you say " All you have to do NVFlash CWM and you're all set to flash a ROM." Is that where I empty my phone and then re-load with an updated version? Do I have to protect my phone? Did this phone come with 2.2.3? What do the numbers mean? I hope I can help you with something in return? Thank you VERY MUCH Sir. I look forward to talking with you tomorrow...cgarland

Is this g2x a good phone if I can get the battery to last at least one full day? I like the phone and all that I've read about it (except the bad) but it is my first smartphone. Seriously mackster248 I want to keep this phone. Can I make this phone work properly so I will be happy with it? Will the battery life improve with updates? What is "ROM: CM7 or MIUI" I'm not kidding, there is a guy on Craigslist that did exactly the same thing to his g2x, that is he has CM7 and MIUI on his g2x. Here is his post. What do you think mackster248?
Title says it all, unlocked for any GSM carrier and rooted with cyanogen mod 7 and flashed with a cool MIUI rom making it faster and better looking than ever.
Will come with HDMI cable, black hard rubber case, 2 chargers and original box. 9/10 condition front and back it had a screen protector on but I recently took it off because it made the phone look like crap. It has a CLEAN front now.
MOSTLY LOOKING FOR TRADES but $275 cash nothing more nothing less is good. Looking for an iPhone 4 unlocked I dont care how many gbs just has to be unlocked, same condition, with charger at least.
Looking for:
Iphone 3gs 16/32 gb unlocked and jailbroken w/ accessories and some cash on your side.
LG thrill unlocked
Iphone 4 unlocked
HTC sensation
All offers are considered just shoot me what phone you have.
206 four53 eight713 will send pics through text!
Teach me what it is you both are talking about mackster....PLEASE! See that where he say's what you said?
Thank You, cgarland

i have a problem as host's, it's very helpful, thanks

Well CWM is a recovery that's needed to flash custom ROMs. You need to follow that video to install CWM via NVFlash. Just do that portion first then I can help you with the rest.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

Cwm is clockwork mod recovery.. it is a modified recovery that allows any rom to be flashed to your phone.
Recovery is a utility built into the phone that lets you do various tasks like install different modified versions of android reset your phone to a "new" state... deleting all the data on it (except android itself)
To flash a rom means to install it...
Cm7 is cyanogen mod 7 which is a "team" created rom that has a lot of added features that the stock Android does not have check out cyanogenmod.com for more details...
Miui is pronounced my U I and is another "team" created version of android that very much changes the look and feel of android...
As far as everything else... browse the development section and just read... that's the easiest and best way to learn
As far as battery life... there are a few roms that improve battery life... but there is no miracle solution. It's just a sacrifice that is made in liu of speed and performance... what I mean is... a dual core 1ghz processor uses battery... ya know
Also... if you need help try and post in the right section ... general or q&a ... don't ask questions in the development section .. for some reason a lot of people have a huge stick up their rear and rather than being helpful... they just get all rude and tell you that you are posting in the wrong section and are rude...

Just got out of the hospital and good to hear from you mackster248 What a cool name "mackster248" I will do what you say mackster248 and get back to you....THANK YOU VERY MUCH !!

renocivik THANK YOU so much for your reply! I just got out of the hospital and saw your reply for me. I will read your information and do exactly as you say and get back to you ASAP with my results. Is this a good phone renocivik? I see where you talk about battery life, what should I do? I need to get some rest before I write anymore stuff here. I will talk to you guys soon. Thanks for everything and will get back to you tomorrow.....cg

What are you saying? I truly don't understand what your trying to tell me. Would you please explain cfj521 ? Thank You cgarland

I think I can put flashing and cwm into simpler terms for you.
The word "flashing," in this case would mean downloading and installing a new ROM to your phone.
A ROM in this case, is simply a developer made android system that they make for the better and enjoyability of your phone.
CWM is an abbreviation for "Clock work mod recovery."
CWM was made for you to make adjustments to your phone, and install new software, ROMs much easier.
This system will be the head quarters of making adjustments to your phone.
-------------------------
Now, about getting NvFlash onto your device.
NvFlasher is, I believe, also a developer made program specific to our Nvidia Tegra devices. And also does make installing CWM much easier.
(Nvidia Tegra 2 is the processor for our G2x)
There is a section around here that explains to you how to use NvFlash for your G2x.
Which, I believe will be in the Android Development section in our G2x forums. Probably at the tippy top in a sticky forum (Highlighted forum).
The instructions may be a bit hard to following, but hang in there and just follow the instructions for NvFlash, refrain from stuff that isn't for now.
I hope I enlightened you a little bit on what we all talk about around here.

I to am sorry for being harsh

I need to make an apology. Another dev had to do this earlier and now it is my turn.
He was right. We are all a bit angry at people who are posting unnecessary things, but that is no excuse to be rude. I still maintain that this forum has one of the best communities, and I will not let anyone tell me otherwise. I started on this forum in april of this year. That is 4 months ago. Look what I have accomplished. I am nowhere near the level of some of our other devs, but I am so much better than I was then. I WAS a N00B. I was that person with a million questions.
I remember the first time I soft bricked. It was late at night and all of a sudden that beautiful boot animation that I just realized cold be changed started repeating itself after I tried to flash an update to scv5. I panicked. I opened up the lifehacker article on unbricking, posted a new thread with a stupid question, and I started to realize I had no money to buy a new phone. Bottom line is it was the end of the world for me.
But, thanks to all the wonderful people here, i got it fixed. My heartbeat was probably 200 while the fxz flashed, but I got it done
I now bootloop every other day practically. restoring is no problem. ICS was a whole different story, but that is not for here. That is when I had my first hardbrick. but once again thanks to the help of others I am now on scv7 with some mods to it.
To all of you who have posted stupid unnecessary things, and yes there are many I am sorry. as the Moderator Moscow Desire said in a PM after me posting a rude response that lead to me writing this "n00bs will always be at XDA. This is a fact of life. Yes, they post stupid things sometimes, and yes, they will always NEVER do a search or read other posts. It's always been like this. And yes, it gets frustrating at times."
We know you are out their. and we can try to stop it, but there will be people who do dumb things. But that is not an excuse for any of us to be rude to them. Those of us who are more knowledgeable about dev stuff should be helping those who aren't. My mom always told me in school that there will always be bosses you hate just like your teachers, and coworkers you hate st like your classmates, so you might as well learn to get along with them. She was right. we just need to get along. For us devs there is an IRC channel, and believe me we talk about this stuff, but we all get along well. so for the rest of us t needs to be the same.

Let me start this by saying i am still a N00B, saying that Initially i was also annoyed with all those questions people were asking.. i myself started a new thread trying to clear few basic questions.. but as the time went by realised that the senior community was more harsh than anything else.. the more we teach the more we learn thats what say in my part of the world.. but i believe all is well, all that is needed is that you guys get into serious ICS development once the OTA arrives.. and <3 you guys..

I guess one just has to realise that there are ppl here with different tech capacities. So knowledgeable ppl like u and the other magnificent devs should have a little more patience with us , the eternal the omni present n00bs... u guys are doing a great job !! keep it up!!! We ask stupid questions coz we are scared that the beloved fone will brick...we want to be 10 times sure that flashing will not render it useless...but still we do it ..coz everybody loves a kick!!!! I guess.. my take on this....

Yeah, but on the other side of the coin, if you are on XDA that means you are looking to experiment, you want to try new things, you need a fast and functional ROM or that mod you like so much or simply want to root it and then there are few who are here just to learn.
But for all this you gotta have few attributes
1. Guts
2. Little knowledge
3. Able to go through few threads before starting anything
4. And last but most important, knowing where the search button is.
This still a n00b saying this, dont get me wrong. I am here to learn, i am getting into it slowly but surely. Thanks to the devs.
Ps: this post os taken better in lighter vein!!!
Speak only when it improves on your silence.

I think it is a huge deal to see a post like this. Kudos to you, Ikrasner! You have been much help to everyone, along with the rest of the devs. Thank you all for your time!

Well it is really not patients that is the problem that we are all having at the moment. It is the fact that everyone now seems to think they are the ONLY one with a certain problem with x, and rather than posting in the thread that deals with x they make a new thread, and then when you ask why they did not search it is always "I searched, and none of the threads deal with MY exact issue".
The issue with this is that is shows a lack of respect for everyone in here, that might be working on an issue, and that person just bumped another thread that might have that or a similar issue in it, and now everyone is reading that new glowing orange thread on the board.
The next issue is that people have to trust us.
Next, it seems we have a new rash of noobs that don't want to listen and then still post a new thread when their issues is not solved in another thread and then keep bumping that thread if no one replies.
Again these are all thing that show alot of issues and lack of respect to your dev team, we are here to help, but the more you guys all help us, the more we can help you.
P.S. I had to post this same thread a few weeks back, because of all the frustrations as well.... see a pattern here.

I know what you mean, its like you cant even blink in this forum, without starting a witch hunt.

I just joined XDA not long ago and I too have noticed a lot of pointless threads. I admit I did post a stupid question before, but I found the answer myself and went back and changed my question. But I did not go and make a new thread about it. I think the issue is A. people are lazy in general, and B. There is so much to try and wrap your head around, and no one wants to brick their device. I only have 1 device and I would love to try experimenting with different ROMs and things, because I am constantly wanting a new phone. I have had the A2 for about 9 months now and I am bored with it. But I have that fear of bricking it and then I am screwed. So for now I will continue to search through different threads and try to learn as much as I possible can before I jump in and try flashing ROMs. I notice some people just try flashing ROMs without really any knowledge then post new threads with the issues that they have. If they would just take the time to read through threads prior to jumping in there would be less of this issue. I just want to Thank all the Devs here that put so much time into all the work they do here!! Definitely the best mobile dev community out there!!

I know, it was amusing. But the fact that you're feeling the urge for clarification makes me second guess that was a "joke". (I'm kidding)
That's what we need more of here, people with a sense of humor. I applaud you for that, hopefully the lighthearted approach will carry through with the other "business class" folk.
I sit in the back of the bus, that one being driven straight to hell, if you know what I mean...

Don't consider my answer as a decision. Still you'll have to finalize.
My consideration is that, Samsung users are more similary there are lots of developers too when compared to HTC.
So i hope that would be a better choice, since you say that you used to play with things such as modding, tweaking, and using different roms.
Hit thanks rather than typing it now Free

I have a regular HTC One from T-mobile, and I love it. Its fast, good camera performs exceptionally well. The development community is amazing, and this phone is very active among the community. I've unlocked and rooted it as soon as i got it (when it came out like 7-8 months ago) and now theres even easier methods to unlock. By the way, currently HTC has the regular (sence version for all carriers) phone on Android 4.3 with plans to update to 4.4 by Jan and the GPE version is already at 4.4 so thats even better for the modders! Good luck!
