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

Hi,
When I slide my finger up and down over my contact list, it scrolls too far and too fast.
I read about some tweaks but mostly they talk about speeding up things...
Any help is welcome
Thanks
Completely agree, the scroll speed is way too fast in the contact list... there has to be a way to slow it down.
I have the same problem while scrolling through my contacts. It seems that other apps do not have this issue.
can anybody help?
so, I understand there is no way to change the speed......
Strange
Why dont you scroll with your finger over the letters? It's more easy.
Or enable "jog wheel scrolling" in Advanced config. Then you can scroll with your jog wheel.
Would be a great idea I think....
However, Where to find it in advanced config?
Thanks
Diamond Smart Touch > contacts scrolling
sorry, don't find it...
All I have is, in "Touchflo"-map the item scrolling, which is already enabled...
don't find any map: Diamond Smart Touch in the advanced config program.
JP
you have to install boinger66 advance config to get that options in advance config.

just installed the vab file.... THIS IS SUPER
With some adjustments AND the new ROM the Diamond is getting just what I wanted..
I wasn't very happy when I started using the diamond in the beginning... had to compete with my sons Iphone, lot of strange things happening... but now lately..... WOW!
(I hope there will be new rom uopdates in the future...)
Where to get some more explantion about all the features of this cab file and the advances config stufff
Again... thank you all for your great help
Hi
i have the same problem... I can't scroll trough the contacts with my pen.
If i just use a finger, it works better but too fast...
I have uploaded a Video: www.solae.ch/temp/htc.avi
Is there a way, to scroll the contacts like at the weather?
Hi there,
I've searched a lot but did not find any solution to this:
I'm trying to have MortPlayer's hardware buttons mapping feature working.
I can see it in the menus, after I've set "Use application buttons" to "Yes", but the message of the "Assigne device buttons" option still is "To assign application keys, first activate them above!"
Was anyone able to use this feature on Diamond?
Thanks in advance!
I tried too, but I think it's because the hardware buttons of the diamond are not like others pocket PC.
Many others applications don't see them (Mobipocket, Resco photo viewer, ...)
argh! Bad news.
I am having the same problem with my newly updated to WM 6.1 HTC Mogul. This may be an issue with 6.1 and Mortplayer. Can anyone confirm?
Hi everyone, this is my first post but I'm using this site as a infinite source of information since I bought my htc diamond.
I have 2 little questions anyway:
Is there a way to install a skine which makes the start menu of windows like the windoes 6.5's 1? That dropdown bar is very ugly in my hopinion.
I tried home 2 of pointui and I've been astonished of his rapidity and precision, it was much better than touchflo. Contacts and pages slide 100 times better.
Is there any way to improve sliding of pages and lists like in that UI? At least I know it is possible!
Thanks

You could try some other UI's like SPB Mobile Shell or Point UI like you mentioned and see if those work for you. As far as the Honeycomb start menu of 6.5, I don't know if there is a way to alter the 6.1 start menu to look like that. You'll probably have to unlock and flash a 6.5 rom for that.
Try some of the tweaks posted in the Diamond Tweaks Sticky to improve scrolling. They do work!
Thanks for the advices.
I Solved my problem by installing more efficent apps like iContact and Thumbcalendar and by making them default!
If I can ask an other question, I have the brand of my operator instead of Opera logo in browser section of touchflo, is there any way to remove it?

Are you referring to the large icon that shows when you click the internet tab? It's usually a Globe. Or are you talking about the splash screen when Opera starts?
