What is "Cube"

As a relative Newbie to PDA customisation - in a number of Threads deatling cooked ROMs a number are offered with or without "Cube".
What is "Cube" and whatis the difference between ROM's with and without "Cube"?
btw - I recently down loaded the O2 Premium v2 w/o cube for my Orbit, no issues installing and working well, one or two minor issues, but easily overcome with a tweak of settings

Best way is to show it! See the cube?

hi all,
can someone please explain how you get the 'cube' to work?
I am running ARTEMIS TOUCH 3.01 WWE - FULL WITH CUBE and everything works OK except I cant see the cube even tho i have it enabled in the TouchFLO applet under system settings.
Thanks and excuse my ignorance... i'm kinda new at this updating ROM's stuff.

Problem solved thanks. Found a pictorial explanation on one of tom_codon's posts... thanks tom.

I’ve been looking through this forum for two days now and still can’t find a definitive answer to this question…
Is there any way you can modify the ‘Cube’ touchflow application so that it is a ‘proper’ cube with 4 sides ( i didn’t know you could have a cube with only 5 surfaces!! but i digress ) and add shortcuts on the new 'forth' side to launch your chosen applications?
Please can someone give a definitive answer thanks

can you point me in the direction of getting the cube to work - I'm where you were.....searched for tom's post can't locate it???

A 'Proper Cube' has 6 sides

Im a new too and cant seem to get the cube thing working...its probably really obvious. Anyone know what the button name is for the cube so I can assign it?

Tilt 2: re-routing PTT button to camera

Hello everyone,
so the new AT&T tilt 2 has a PTT button that I for one (and many would agree) do not use. What I would instead find more useful is a hardware camera button, hence my inquiry. If any developers are willing and able, might it be possible to make a cab file or registry tweek to reroute the ptt button to instead activate the camera? Would anyone else care to have thIs feature? I would be willing to donate.
Thanks

Already done. Use THIS

Well I'm an idiot, "search before you type" thank you though

also if you are still using the stock rom it actually allows you to reassign the ptt button to another function. for custom roms i would go with that kb controller to get the job done

You can reassign it easily in the stock ROM.
Just go to SETTINGS > Personal > Buttons
Choose PTT button and reassign to Camera
Very easy to do!

I've been able to map the camera program to my PPT button via AE Button Plus but is there any way to actually take a picture with the PPT button?

Push to Talk button...How to reassign?

Does anyone know which registry key I would need to modify (and to what value) to reassign the PTT button on my Tilt 2 so that I can make it launch the camera instead of the PTT software? I have no use for this software nor would I want to pay for it but having it launch the camera is much more useful to me. I was able to do this with the AT&T software setting but now that I've flashed to The Cell ROM AT&T V2 that option is no longer there. I love the ROM. It's far superior to the stock AT&T one but I am missing that one little thing.
I have AE Button Plus but it's using too much of my CPU so I'd rather find another way that doesn't involve installing another program.

Rhodium keyboard config works great. The PTT should be available in Settings>buttons in the ROM though if you dont need Push/Hold of the PTT.
One note..once I used the keybd config on the PTT button the option to use the ROM Settings>buttons doesnt work anymore. So you have to use the keybd config after that.

The option to reassign the PTT button isn't there anymore anyway. Would be nice if we could add buttons to that list but sadly no.
Is this keyboardconfig a program that runs all the time in the background?

AT&T Tilt 2 PTT button capture remap

ok so i know it's easy to remap the ptt button to a program but i have a challenge for those that are up to it. can anyone remap the ptt button to actually take pictures within the camera program? let the challenge begin!

You can try the Rhodium Key Remapper, details on THIS thread
It claims to be able to remap ANY hardware key on a Rhodium to just about any function you could imagine...but I don't have a Tilt2 to test out the PTT button to confirm. You're welcome to give it a shot though!

... and how about having the PTT button take a picture only if the camera is active -- otherwise it retains whatever other useful function it's mapped to (for example, mine is currently mapped to rotate the screen).

that's good i like that idea! i wish this thread got some heat so the developers took notice, i would like a firm answer i don't like installing a program just to findout it doesn't work

OK, so I just had a bit of a play around with the Rhodium Keyboard Controller, and indeed you can configure a key to perform a specific action depending on the application running at the time (or at least that's my interpretation of it).
While I was able to get the config to the point of "OK, the camera is running, what do you want the PTT button to do?", but could not figure out how to specify the "take a picture" action.

the action is simply 'ok' or enter. I haven't tried the app but on a Fuze the center of the dpad is essentially the enter key and that will trigger a photo to be taken

I've used the remapper and my PPT opens the camera and takes pictures

It works fine, just try it out. The problem is that the key is on the bottom of the phone when held like it is supposed to be and it also does not have the semi-click focus ability (though when you click it it will focus and then take the shot, though that takes a long time)

For the key remapping, I've had success mapping it to "Enter" (couldn't find "OK" in the list of keys to map to). Attached is a snap of the configuration with the Rhodium keyboard controller.

Yes, that's true. What might be possible is to map the focus to a short press of the key, and the "snap" to a short press. I'm too lazy to figure out how.

By 'remapper' do you mean the Rhodium Keyboard Controller, or something else? I'd like this too, touching the screen to take a picture is moronic.
Duh, why didn't I try that before! Sure enough, set the PTT to be Camera in AEButtonPlus and it sure does take the picture too! Awesome.

I probably don't understand what you're asking for... but I do have assigned my PTT Button to Camera (form settings, personal, buttons, scroll to Camera - on stock ATT ROM) and I do take pictures within the camera program just by pressing the PTT button. If I misunderstood your post, disregard...

They are talking about this cab
It is a little program to allow you to remap the hardware keys. You can even program functions or programs to double and tripple clicks as well. Don't be scared to install software, especially something this small. And if you are a OCD patient, then purchase Sprite Backup.
Now to answer the posters question: You have to have the camera running first to take a picture. If you want you could set camera start for a double PTT click and assign take picture to a single PTT press. Use attached program to accomplish this easily.

Yes I used the Rhodium Keyboard Controller to set up my PTT to use the camera it was pretty simple

From what I've read - as of 4 or so weeks ago - due to new camera updates... the standard remap to capture is no longer working...

if u can find energyrom may 1st version rhodiumkeymapper will work anything newer and it wont work as camera "shoot" button because of the new camera package but the speed increase is incredible..im running the latest n greatest june version of energy now.

Any Idea where I might roll back ROM... I think I'm pushing the ROM envelope... my tilt2 is zippy but bugging out on me...
Worked on reg settings for a while trying to fix capture issue... got it to work (even tried combo with mute button) but rebooted and haven't been able to reproduce. My theory was "if I could eliminate the delay focus could just get it to capture. No dice.

correct me if im wrong but i tried high n low to make my ptt button "shoot" but no dice.. ever since i flashed an energy rom newer than may 1st. its to do with the camera package that energy replaced i believe its topaz camera now on june 19th version.

Try this solution?

Install the keyboard controller for the rhodium, choose to add a key, press the PTT key "if you already have it mapped to something, don't worry. I also have apps mapped to the same button". When in the map config, click the [+] next to Rule. pull out the stylus, click the windows button, go to your camera, and stick the stylus back in. Below "Rule name" the window should say "IACSP20_Main" without the quotes. Choose "Direct key mapping", then select key "13 Enter" for the key. Finally send the key to the operating system.
What this does is: while you're in the camera window and push the PTT key, that key is pushing the enter key. It acts the same as the onscreen shutter button, as in, you have to hold the button. Good luck with your mapping.

I haven't tried it yet, but it seems to be the answer you are looking for. Hope it helps.
Edit: I tried it and it works for me I also followed these directions to remap the volume up and down to do the same thing (they didn't do anything in camera mode anyway) and I like using them better. It has also helped with the quality of photos because I can hold the camera more still Yeah!

What version of the Rom... I tried something like this it didn't work - newer than May 1st... no work that's why...

ATT Tilt2 with VZW Keyboard FN issue

I swapped my ATT tilt 2 keyboard with the much better Verizon keyboard.
I found a cab for fixing the keyboard layout for verizon.
Everything is great... except the FN and SYM keys seem to be swapped.
All other keys are correct.
anyone familiar with this?
Looks like NRG no longer includes his keyboard mapping cabs with the roms since they are in the provisioning cabs now. I dont want to provision for VZW since it's an ATT phone. I'm pretty sure the cab I used was the old VZW Remapper of his anyway.

This is what you want:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=554240
You can re-map any key with this, including the useless PTT button (you can remap it to do something useful).

Thanks redpoint.. I have this already and tried it. I actually use it to remap the PTT button
I cant find a way to remap FN though.
When I add a button to remap, it asks me to press the button I want remapped. It does not respond to Shift or FN since they are modifiers.
I cant find the codes to configure it manually either.
