As I've read, Samsung Omnia has a tactile feedback (vibra) when you touch the screen. This is a very useful feature that I'd like to see on Diamond. Is there a way to port it to Diamond, or even write a prog that would do the job?

funny that was exactly what i was thinking. this should be s
tandard in the rom though. i would like it specifically for the keyboard though.
hmm. i think it's a battery eater feature...
look what I found:
a search button on the right top!
Search for feedback in the Diamond section and you will find 5 other threads....

Hey folks!
Yesterday I found an amazing phone on the internet. The HTC Touch. So, as I am not that much into the Herald modding, I could not figure out, which tools or what software they use on that phone.
I got a link to a gallery where some pics about this phone are shown. They show also some pictures about the software they use:
http://www.xonio.com/bildergalerie/HTC-Touch-O2-XDA-Nova-T-Mobile-MDA-Touch-Vodafone-VPA-Touch-Galerie_27532015.html
So please, could someone tell me, what rom here on the board makes my phone look like the HTC Touch and behave like the HTC Touch? I do not expect my phone to be exactly like that, but perhabs its possible to have it a looking a bit like the Touch?
Sorry, if this sounds like a stupid question, but I read through the board and I do not want to break my phone, so I would like to no exactly what rom to use, because so I am able to do only one crack (HardSPL/uspl) ... ^^
Thanks for help!

Whats up... welcome to the forum..... Ummm The interface you are looking for is HTC home (today plugin) ... for the full touch experience you'll want the cube as well. You cant go wrong with open touch biggy 3.0.... its a great place to start
I suggest you go with Open Touch as well. You will get the features that you are looking for.

And many more ofcourse. I have Open Touch V3.0 Biggy and it's even better then the interface on the touch. You Get: HTC Home Screen, Cube ( finger sweeping thing ), Loads of good games and many more.
There are several programs here on the forum to make the phone to your wishes. For example if you want a real nice picture viewing program i suggest you use Slide 2 View by A_C.
Use the search function on the forums and type A_C or slide 2 view. Even the Touch doesnt have this function.
BTW, Welcome to the Forums !
I'm about fed up with TouchFlo 3D, nice but pretty useless and I REALLY miss the Cube from my Touch Dual, much more convenient and doens't waste CPU cycles, so...has anyone installed it on the Diamond ?
Found a few existing CUBE topics, but not sure if there might not be interference and if a VGA skin is needed.
Topics : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=343583 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=348437
Ok had to hard reset...
Was hopeful after a post by SecureGSM :
"HKLM\Software\OEM\TFLOSettings:
also, there is one that is suppose to enable cube finctionality there:
EnableCube : default value (0) <--change that to (1)"
But not working for me.
Its not so simple as switching cube on. Cube is simply not there in our Diamond. If u try to install this Cube configurator from the Elf thread, u'll see a multitude of errors, missing files, etc. Cube may be functional here, but we'll be needing all those files
Yes, that sucks, the CUBE is x times more useful than TouchFlo 3D IMHO.
There must be a way though because it was added to non touch devices.
i dun think we'll have to descend to the non touch method, they use flash. i'm sure if we can get the Touch Cruise for example, and get their files, and put it in, it should work? i think
Catching up, I also thought this would do it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=348437 but so far no luck either.
bump - hope someone can figure it out ;-)
Another bump, that would be such a useful addition, I'm sure the bright minds around here can figure how to add the Cube back ;-)
have u tried Touch Commander?
Not sure, got a link ? I tried the tools linked in the first message and no go, had to hard reset.
I know a guy who might be very good at this ... Duttie or something like that
Unfortunatly, he is not around (yet)
Sounds good, hope he joins us soon !
Have you considered something like this:

There are a couple of other similar GUIs out there and the good thing about them that they all VGA optimized.

and it's variation by GSmart

Thanks, but what I like about the cube is up and down the gesture to bring the contact list and then left to right for the various tools. The Contact list would be enough actually.
bumping it up ;-)

i won't be trying that again in a hurry

Any news guys ? I was so happy with my Touch Cruise but bought the Diamond for the 640x480 screen and faster video playback.
The TouchFlow 3D looks fine but it's very useless to me, The old TouchFlo Cube from the cruise could be swept away and you had your normal windows todayscreen.
I tried the Cube thing SPD Mobile Shell but the old originall CUBE is way better I think.
Any solutions ?
Bump!!! I Want The Cube!!!!!!
same here, in fact I want it so much I've stuck with the HTC Touch Dual, aka Nike !
Before anyone tells me to use the search engine:
I have, I do, I continually do
But I would like to use the other big resource of the forums, user experience and opinions.
I would like to hear(read) your opinions about your favourite touch friendly apps and customisations that work (without glitch, or as glitch free as possible) on the Kaiser. The Kaiser is the only Touch interface phone I have or care about right now.
See, I'm pretty disappointed. My Kaiser's primary purpose is to be my phone. It should have easy quick access and usage as a phone. Meaning that I shouldn't have to pull out a stylus to dial or use the dialpad functions or the calls and contacts list. And yet I find it happening all the time. I'm no Paul Bunyan, I wear a size medium glove. But I also work in a field where my hands can get pretty... dirty. So I don't want to have to keep poking around at the screen when the wrong thing opens up.
IMO, any app or function of the PIM that is referenced often should have a touch friendly interface - maybe not as its sole interface, maybe just a complementary viewer (many kinds of data entry will require a stylus, so obviously everything can't be touch friendly).
Even the HTC Home today plugin is puny. The buttons to switch between home, weather, ringers, fav people, launcher are too small for my fingers, and so is the launcher and other functions that are brought up when from those buttons..
Most Today plugins are too small too. The Cube is a significantly better finger friendly interface.
Schaps new interface looks sweet, but until then, I want to see what other people are using. Later today, I'll edit this post to include my list (with links) and see if we've all discovered the same things or if we really can help each other out.
I too have searched for a rom that provides such. I use Dutty's Touch v6.1 WWE with radio 1.70.OliNex. I'm looking for something that provides larger buttons for phone an contacts.
I also have fat fingers, finger friendly friends has made using the contacts list so much easier to use, and it looks nicer than outlooks contact list.

"finger friendly friends" ? What is this, of which you speak?
Guys if you are after a nice touch interface for searching for contacts them use the icontact v0.72 Its very good and easy to use, especially if you have chubby fingers.
Search for it on this forum

Hi guys,
This question is only for ex touch dual users.
1) Could you please tell me if you miss the physical keyboard? I know the virtual keyboard on the diamond can be set as "normal" numerical keyboard with xt9 but is it easy (and accurate) as the physical one to use??
2) I've read somewhere that the diamond was not vibrating when receiving an sms? Is it true??
Thank you for your feedback!
Answer to your first question, I did find the physical keyboard useful, only because it gave me the whole screen to look at, but using the keyboard itself the Diamond keyboard does a very good job. I have mine on Phone Keypad and i dont often make a mistake. I do admit that sometimes it can be frustrating, pushing the space bar or not pushing it when you should do, but I had the same using the Touch Dual hardware keyboard so the experience is on par.
Mmm, well mine seems ok when I get a text, altho i dont often set it to vibrate so will have a play today and see if i notice anything.
What i will say is that there is supposed to be a version of the Diamond coming out with a keypad. I dont mean the Touch Diamond Pro with the full qwerty keyboard i mean literally a Touch Dual keypad on the diamond. So far specs, information is all pretty hush hush so if you really miss the physical keypad and you think you will find it useful having one, maybe waiting would be the best option.
Hope this helps.
Regards
Tom
@ tom: Thank you for your answer.
I really like the physical keypad. It helps me writing text messages without having to "really" look at what I'm doing.
As you said, I think I'll wait some time hoping they will release a touch dual diamond...
Have a good day!
Anyone else could answer this question?? Would be nice to have more than one answer...
Sorry, me again! Ive had my phone on Vibrate since yesterday and not had any problems with it not vibrating when it should do.
Just thought I would let you know.

About the SMS - yes, it wasn't alerting (vibrate or sound) but there is a tweak - registry entry.
Works fine now
Hey,
I hope that someone can help me out.
Since the screen is "quite" small... the keyboard in windows mobile is definetly too small, and even fingerkeyb requires some concentration.
Are there any good looking, perfectly working, dialer looking input SIPs?
12 button input with 1 - abc, 2-def, 3-ghi etc. Like on oldschool cellphones (and samsung touch versions)... with T9 textbook.
I guess there are a couple out there, which one is THE best?
saw this thread, with no answer...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=501024
Search for the OEM XT9 keyboard. There's a phone keypad mode.
Thanks!
I tried it and it works ok! I like it, think I'm gonna use it instead of fingerkeyb, at least for sms-writing with one hand. There are some issues though, it's not perfect.
Wonder why no-one focuses on creating a better soft keyboard (eg sony ericsson!!!)
