HTC diamond functions - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

Guys,
The HTC touch diamond functions lookpretty cool. The contacts application, the weather application, the music browse app, etc etc (In short, the touch diamond User Interface), all look pretty amazing.
Can this be made available for the TyTN II as well?

I think that's the general focus of many of the busy threads in this area; read around, there's "diamond roms" for the kaiser which seem to offer many of the UI features, and there's a long ongoing project to port the 3D interface to the kaiser too.

I asked this in the software area already. I would suggest looking for a thread that was started like about 2 days ago and see if anybody responded. If not, I suggest dont start another post. Many people here love to bite peoples head's off for not using the search feature.

I cannot get it to work on the Kaiser, has anyone tried this yet?
Won't install for me either. Says it's not intended for this device.
I'm running v3.0 Sleuth. Could be it doesn't like WinMo 6.1, but I have no way to verify that unless I reflash.
I have a t-mobile Wing and it doesn't work either. I think it is because all the phones listed as supported are smartphones (without touch screen).
Anyone know a work-around install for touch screen based units?
Just look at the name of the file it installs: SP50.cab = SP= Smartphone.
I've adjusted the CAB a little to allow it to install on a Kaiser. But when installed it's not 100%.
It installs, you can run the MSNDirect.exe through File Explorer, but as the controls are geared towards SmartPhone, it's not all that usable
Perhaps someone with additional skills can tweak it.
Is it possible for someone to tweak the program to be more touch friendly?
I'm pretty bummed about this. I've had a SPOT watch for years and would really like to have it on my Kaiser.
I have a Dash sitting on a shelf at home, that my wife didn't want, but I really can't switch to a Dash for MSN Direct.

Wow I didn't even know this service was still around...I used to have one of the watches, they were pretty cool.
This does not pertain to Kaiser Rom Development. Please post questions like this in the Kaiser General section in the future.
Thank You

Make my Herald look like this (view thread!)

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 !

The HTC CIO may be curled up in a corner crying now...
crying?
i think he has tears in his eyes from laughing.
why do a lot of people always insist that older is better.
touchflo 3d has way more options and is much fingerfriendlier than the old version.
so just a tip: do not use your stylus, but use your fingers. you will find that using the touch flo 3d really is a lot easier
looks beautiful runs terrible
i gave up! touchflow 3D, simply too slow and couldnt catch up with my finger.
will leave it for showing off when demo to friends only...
Yeah, it's not easier at all. It's much more work to get to the media player now, where as I could assign it to a hardware key on the Kaiser. Navigating the Kaiser with keyboard mnemonics was definitely faster and easier. TouchFLO 3D requires so much more finger/hand/eye movement in order to access the same information that would have been already on your screen right away.
I also hate having to scroll through all of the Cities in the US in order to get to Yonkers, NY for the weather. It was way easier when I could just type the name of the City in the HTC Home plug in. These iPhone-style lists are horribly frustrating to use.
I, think the regular touchflo is simpler to use because it is exactly that (simple) & boring... a few tabs and thats it. However TouchFlo3D has much more options, looks sweet, touch friendly & interactive; the fact that it takes more time to getting use to or figuring out does not bother me at all.
With this new plugin I rarely see the windows UI and I think that makes a huge difference, at least for me it does.
Another point to consider is how you use the device or what for? I use it primarily for the web, weather, texting & GPS & all of these are extremely easy for me to get to. As far as the extra scrolling to choose a specific city under weather should not be in issue, I set my city & a couple others in no-time when I got my phone and that's it no more scrolling.
I remember some time ago nokia, samsung, SE, mortorola etc all the big names done some stuidies and figured out the max number of key presses it should take to get to ANY menu option. It seems with all this fancy scrolling lists and interfaces thats lost now.
Even in an iphone - which you may hate, but is probably the best touch interface - its not exactly fast to get to things.

I've said this before - in experiments comparing the iPhone and the old TouchFLO, it was faster on average to get to things using TouchFLO.

Well, the devices are aimed at completely different markets. HTC generally aim their devices with keyboards at business users, whereas the Touch Diamond is a high-end general consumer product.

There are now tweaks that will speed up TouchFLO 3D quite a lot. Search this forum.
so......
will the old type of htc home plug in work with diamond?
i too was happy using it (on my trinity)
would be nice to have the choice
with the tabs you had people..weather apps...and more
so does anyone know before i bugger my diamond up
I think TouchFlow 3D is great, easy to use and looks very nice.
The only thing I'm missing are my tasks on the Todayscreen. On my Touch I used them as a reminder for certain things, but when you don't see them right away when turning on the phone they're useless.
I installed a Version of HTC Home Plugin earlier today on my dad's diamond and well... i guess it just isn't fit for a VGA Display. It is very small and the porportions are messed up. Anyone already tried to get HTC Home to work or knows of any VGA Version maybe?
I used to use Touch Commander on my Asus P750, as far as I'm concerned it's an exact copy which will work in VGA mode, as the P750 also had a VGA screen.

But then again, with Dutty's ROM and the registry tweaks, TF3D runs pretty smooth.

Alright, I have had this issue too. Here is a cab for the Home Plugin for VGA devices (works on my TP).
I AM NOT TAKING CREDIT FOR THIS, JUST SHARING THE .CAB I FOUND SOMEWHERE ON THIS FORUM LOOKING FOR THIS. MADE BY PJC
Hope this helps out those who need it.
EDIT: For some reason could not upload file, nonetheless, I found the download, click on the link and download. http://rapidshare.com/files/128745613/PJC_HTCHome.cab

Touch Diamond 2 Touchflo interface?

Hello all. I don't see a forum for the newly announced Touch Diamond 2 yet, so I'll ask my question in here!
Does anyone know what the enhancements to the Touchflo3D interface will be (if any)? I don't bother with it on my Diamond, as the Calendar is virtually useless and there's no tasks at all. If these are being addressed then I might be convinced to upgrade (although I'm not sure about removing the wheel interface either).
Does anyone have any info on this?

Raphael 800 (Sprint) software/mods/etc?

Yes.
Sorry for the n00b-sounding thread here, but I just upgraded from my Mogul and am having trouble navigating to apps/kitchens/tweaks that would be something I'd want to do on my Sprint Touch Pro... it seems that most are developed for the Fuze (GSM and with different specs) or for the Verizon Touch Pro (which has different Specs).
So, yes, I'd like to tweak the sh*t out of my Touch Pro...
a) Get it to launch Skyfire instead of Opera
b) Get TouchFLO 3D 2 if possible
c) See if any kitchens are working/advisable for Sprint version.
*edit: there were more, but this gets the point
Thanks in advance for patience and, Bodgah willing, responses. I've been coming here for ages, for generations of PDA's, and just never ended up posting.
Ok, in regards to your series of questions, there is actually a segment of the Raphael forum dedicated to CDMA phones. I know there are a couple of cooked ROMS and kitchens in there. I'd start there to try to find an upgrade.
To install touch flo 3d2 install XBoxMod's manila upgrade found here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=493531
Keep in mind, as with all things there are a couple of bugs, but nothing that is overly severe. Follow the instructions and you should be fine.
As far as skyfire defaulting, I have yet to find a way to create this as the default browser. Even when selected as "Use as default" I still get the Opera browser.
And above all, before anyone jumps on you, please use the search button. I'm a nice guy, BUT... there are a couple of people on here that aren't so nice.
