Amazing new TouchFlo 3D Cube Launcher for Non HTCTouch WM devices spotted here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1491470

I have tried it. It really works. Can turn 3D cube launcher around by slide touching.

This is not a "transplant" or a port over from HTCTouch, it is a new Flash based software started from scratch so shld be okay, there are some things still not working yet...but very promising.

To start, swipe your finger from bottom to top. To turn the cube, swipe finger left to right. To reverse, swipe finger right to left. To return to starting standby screen with clock, swipe finger top to bottom.

You can also change the standby background picture by changing the jpg file.

See screenshots from my iPAQ 6818

Did not notice anything important that is not working yet. May be some minor stuff. No harm trying. A lot of people are testing it.


I am now trying out the menu configuration grin.gif

I don;'t think so. Byka is a Hungarian name for the software alto in Hokkien sounds like pai-ka grin.gif In Cantonese it is ok, I am Cantonese whistle.gif

Wow ...this thing rocks big time. The menu panels are all highly configurable, you can configure them to launch anything you like...and can change icon as well. The configuration application is provided, use that to configure all your menus. Just tried it, it works. See screenshot of configurator.

Tip: To launch the Configurator iteslf by using this CubeLauncher,
Steps:
1. Goto device\Program Files\Szabi\CubeLauncher\Cube_Config.exe
Tap on it to start the configurator application
2. Go to tab -->P5: Settings --> select bottom right dot
3. Set the correct program path to \Program Files\Szabi\CubeLauncher\Cube_Config.exe
i.e. if you install on device on me. grin.gif
Symphony
Further tip:
To go back from the CubeLauncher to your normal Today screen just press the cancel call button grin.gif

By the way, this may be a good launcher for the HTC TyTnII to complete the TouchFlo feel.

No effect as you can still switch "off" (suspend) your PPC when not in use.

THIS THING ROCKS BIG TIME ON "HPTOUCH" & OTHER DEVICES
grin.gif

There is a big bag of very very nice new icons for it here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread...t=327846&page=2

iContacts rocks with it, just use thumb to scroll Contacts list
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-downlo...ntact-v0-2.html

Great direct launch shortcuts tips:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1497641

It is now possible to change the image so that you do not to see the "ByKa Launcher Demo" anymore, see post #40
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=6938&page=4
& post #50 here
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=6938&page=5

Further tips:
1. The CubeLauncher can be launched by the small icon on the bottom right of Today screen.
2. Tapping on lower centre portion on the front screen will start the cube menu
3. Tapping on the blue icon on the right bottom section of the front will close the launcher

Can. This is just an applications launcher. It can launch up to 6x4=24 applications + 12 favorite contacts (phone). It is not a program as such. You can switch back and forth from Today screen to this thing. Just map a hardware button (e.g. record button) to it to start it easily. Just a tap on the right Blue icon it will revert back to normal Today screen. The newest is version 2. It is now fast and stable. I would love to show it in operation. Very nice to use.

I now can use one hand, just swipe across with my thumb to turn the cube and access & launch many applications easily.
Symphony
This looks like a good complement to CubeLauncher

Anybody tried it before? grin.gif
Symphony
PocketContactManager(CM) rocks bigger than iContacts! It is good! grin.gif
Works well with CubeLauncher. Now to get a "compatible" dialer skin for the CubeLauncher for my "HP Touch" whistle.gif

As I have said earlier, this thing is a Launcher. Wisbar is a different thing, a task switcher that is a Today plugin. They are not the same kind of application and they don't clash. You can switch between the two sytem easily.
Symphony
ByKa has made further improvements to his software, see post #152
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=6938&page=16
Very nice for Favorite Contacts quick dialling and SMS purposes. grin.gif

Tested it works nicely. See screenshots from my HP Touch grin.gif whistle.gif
Symphony
Version 2 just released grin.gif
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=6938&page=20
Symphony
Just tested Version 2:

1. The cube turning is now much more responsive...very good! A+
2. The "Demo by ByKa" text has now been completely eliminated... grin.gif
3. SMS and Phone dialing now works with the Contacts...tested
4. There is now Quit menu

See screenshots

Note:
To start cube swipe finger bottom to top
To close cube swipe finger top to bottom

I find this Cube Launcher application very useful when in a crowded MRT train and you need to call someone or start an application urgently without using a stylus.

The cubelauncher by default has settings based on a ppcphone that ByKa uses. If we use on ours we need to configure the launcher to suit ours. So far I can launch anything I want by configuring it... grin.gif

Just unzip and place the contents in anyplace. when you want to launch the application, just double click the cube2.swf.

Just remember to install the Flash Lite before that.

how is the performance? does it drain the battery or slow down anything?

any annoyance?
skyjuice
it is just a flash program, so doesn't really drain the battery. but you will notice a little bit slowdown when you use it to launch the apps as compare to the direct way.

One more thing is, you need to configure to make some shortcut works for your device as the default setting is used by the author himself.
skyjuice
Can't edit the previous post. anyway I've just tested the edited version which just released on 9/10, the performance has improved a lot, now you don't feel the slowness as I have mentioned above.
nicepal
so cn replace the current main page? i put in all the pages in .. though look cool. but I think some shortcuts need to change and not all are in it. but look cool.
just wated to change the photo on the front page. too sexy already...
nicepal

You can actually replace the sexy background with another Windows Mobile/Vista like background, you can get it from HERE. grin.gif
nicepal
thanks bro lmf2501. i did tt earlier already. as I don't like program to run in the back ground. so i hv the habit of closing all background running programs. by doing tt, the CUbe Launcher also being turn off. Phone memory running low. so I uninstall the application already. but I would say it's cool.
